Passage 2
（2023·重庆·重庆一中校考模拟预测）Researchers have created a nninvasive (无创的) brain decder that can translate stries heard by participants int a string f text, based n their MRI scans. The team says this technlgy culd ne day aid cmmunicatin in peple wh are mentally cnscius but physically unable t speak, such as strke patients.
“Cmpared t what’s been dne befre using the same nninvasive methd, which typically deals with single wrds r shrt sentences, this new technlgy is a real leap frward,” Alex Huth, a prfessr f neurscience and cmputer science at the University f Texas at Austin, says in a statement. “We’re getting the mdel t decde cntinuus language fr extended perids f time with cmplicated ideas.”
Huth and his clleagues cllected hurs f data frm three participants listening t the pdcasts “Mdern Lve” and “The Mth Radi Hur” while cnnected t a functinal MRI (fMRI) scanner, which recrded the participants’ bld xygen levels in parts f their brains. This data was used t train an A．I. mdel t match specific brain activity patterns with strings f wrds, the team reprts in a new study published Mnday in Nature Neurscience. The decder used GPT-1, an earlier versin f the technlgy that pwers ChatGPT.
When the participants listened t new stries, the tl culdn’t spit back the exact wrds, but it culd cnvey the main idea. Fr example, a participant hearing “I dn’t have my driver’s license yet” had their thughts translated t: “She has nt even started t learn t drive yet.” The researchers als had participants watch muted animated shrt films. Thugh the mdel was trained nly n spken wrds, it culd still generate a language descriptin f what was happening.
Reading minds raises a multitude f ethical questins abut brain privacy, but the researchers say their tl desn’t wrk withut willing cperatin. “This is all abut the user having a new way f cmmunicating, a new tl that is ttally in their cntrl,” David Mses, a researcher f autmatic speech recgnitin at the University f Califrnia, San Francisc, wh was nt invlved in the study, said. “That is the gal, and we have t make sure that stays the gal.”
5．In what aspect has the new technlgy made prgress?
A．The age f target users.B．The cmplexity f listening materials.
C．The incme f research teams.D．The effectiveness f nninvasive methds.
6．Which f the fllwing generates the translated text?
A．The researchers.B．A fMR/scanner.C．An A．I. decder.D．ChatGPT.
7．What can be the disadvantage f the new technlgy?
A．A vilatin t persnal privacy.B．A challenge t traditinal culture.
C．A prejudice against the mentally disabled.D．A barrier against human cmmunicatin.
8．Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A．A．I. Helps Strke Patients t Speak With Cmputers
B．A New Technlgy Makes Peple Read Others’ Mind
C．ChatGPT Vices What Yu think Int a String f wrds
D．Researchers Use A．I. t Decde Wrds Frm Brain Scans
【答案】5．B 6．D 7．A 8．D
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了研究人员发明了一种使用人工智能来解码核磁共振扫描结果，并将其转化为语言的技术。
5．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Cmpared t what’s been dne befre using the same nninvasive methd, which typically deals with single wrds r shrt sentences, this new technlgy is a real leap frward,(与之前使用的非侵入性方法只能处理单个单词或短句，与之相比，这项新技术是一个真正的飞跃)”和“We’re getting the mdel t decde cntinuus language fr extended perids f time with cmplicated ideas.(我们让这个模型长时间解码连续的，有着复杂思想的语言。)”可知，新技术的飞跃体现在听力材料的复杂性上。故选B项。
6．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The decder used GPT-1, an earlier versin f the technlgy that pwers ChatGPT.(解码器使用了GPT-1，这是ChatGPT技术的早期版本。)”可知，ChatGPT解码并生成翻译后的文本。故选D项。
7．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Reading minds raises a multitude f ethical questins abut brain privacy (读心术引发了许多关于大脑隐私的伦理问题)”可知，新技术的缺点是可能会侵犯个人隐私。故选A项。

This data was used t train an A. I. mdel t match specific brain activity patterns with strings f wrds, the team reprts in a new study published Mnday in Nature Neurscience.(胡特和他的同事们收集了三名参与者听播客“现代爱情”和“飞蛾广播一小时”的数小时数据，并将其连接到功能性核磁共振成像(fMRI)扫描仪上，该扫描仪记录了参与者大脑部分地区的血氧水平。研究小组在周一发表在《自然神经科学》上的一项新研究中报告说，这些数据被用来训练一个人工智能模型，以匹配特定的大脑活动模式和单词串。)”可知，本文报道了研究人员发明了一种使用人工智能来解码核磁共振扫描结果，并将其转化为语言的技术。所以“Researchers Use A. I. t Decde Wrds Frm Brain Scans(研究人员使用人工智能从脑部扫描中解码语言)”是文章最佳标题。故选D项。

Passage 6
（2023·广东·统考二模）Culd the next Ernest Hemingway r Jane Austen be a well-engineered AI sftware prgram? It’s a questin becming increasingly pressing as machine language-learning sftware cntinues t evlve.
Much f this is just nerves. Tday’s AI creative writing prgrams are nt yet at a stage f develpment where they pse a serius threat t Clleen Hver r Charles Dickens. But while attentin cntinues t fcus n the pssibility f a blanket takever f human literature by AI, far less cnsideratin has been given t the prspect f AI c-wrking with humans.
Earlier this mnth, American sci-fi writer Ken Liu, wh had been awarded Hug and Nebula t his name, jined 12 ther prfessinal authrs fr a writing wrkshp n Ggle’s Wrdcraft. This AI tl, a language generating mdel, is nt yet publicly available but is advertised as an AI-pwered writing assistant that can, when given the right instructin frm the writer, prvide helpful descriptins, create lists f bjects r emtinal states, and even brainstrm ideas.
The writers at the wrkshp, hwever, emerged with mixed reprts. “Wrdcraft is t sensible. Ww!” Rbin Slan wrte. “But ‘sensible’ is anther wrd fr predictable, verused and bring. My intentin here is t prduce smething unexpected.”
I’m uncnvinced that writers awarded the Nbel Prize have much t fear frm AI. Their wrk, and that f cuntless ther nvelists, shrt stry writers, dramatists and pets, is t particular, t beautifully unique. Even if a mdel learned what they had dne in the past, it wuld nt be able t predict where their creativity might take them in the future. But fr authrs wh write fllwing a pattern, AI might step in, first as assistants befre sme day t authrship.

21．细节理解题。根据第二段的“But while attentin cntinues t fcus n the pssibility f a blanket takever f human literature by AI, far less cnsideratin has been given t the prspect f Al c-wrking with humans.(但是，当我们继续关注人工智能全面接管人类文学的可能性时，人们对人工智能与人类合作的前景的考虑要少得多。)”可知，人工智能与人类的合作更值得关注，故选C。
22．推理判断题。根据第四段的““Wrdcraft is t sensible. Ww!” Rbin Slan wrte. “But ‘sensible’ is anther wrd fr predictable, verused and bring. My intentin here is t prduce smething unexpected.”(Wrd craft太明智了。哇！但“明智”是可预测、过度使用和无聊的另一个词。我的目的是创造一些意想不到的东西。”)”可知，Wrdcraft的作品与现存作品有相似之处。故选D。
23．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Their wrk, and that f cuntless ther nvelists, shrt stry writers, dramatists and pets, is t particular, t beautifully unique. Even if a mdel learned what they had dne in the past, it wuld nt be able t predict where their creativity might take them in the future.(他们的作品，以及无数其他小说家、短篇小说作家、剧作家和诗人的作品，都太过独特，太过美好。即使一个模型了解了他们过去的行为，它也无法预测他们的创造力在未来会把他们带到哪里。)”可知，作家们可以通过创作有创意的作品来避免人工智能的威胁，故选C。
24．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Culd the next Ernest Hemingway r Jane Austen be a well-engineered AI sftware prgram? It’s a questin becming increasingly pressing as machine language-learning sftware cntinues t evlve.(下一个Ernest Hemingway或Jane Austen会是一个精心设计的人工智能软件程序吗？随着机器语言学习软件的不断发展，这个问题变得越来越紧迫。)”和第二段的“Much f this is just nerves. Tday’s AI creative writing prgrams are nt yet at a stage f develpment where they pse a serius threat t Clleen Hver r Charles Dickens.(这在很大程度上只是神经紧张。今天的人工智能创意写作程序还没有发展到对Clleen Hver或Charles Dickens构成严重威胁的阶段。)”可知，本文主要探讨的是人工智能是否会取代人类的作家，因此最好的题目是A选项“Will AI Replace Human Writers?(人工智能会取代人类作家吗？)”，故选A。
Passage 7
（2023·北京西城·二模）Faced with an attempt by a new chatbt t imitate (模仿) his wn sngs, the musician Nick Cave delivered a strng respnse: it was “an abslutely hrrible attempt”. He understd that AI was in its babyhd, but culd nly cnclude that the true hrrr might be that “it will frever be in its babyhd”. While a rbt might ne day be able t create a sng, he wrte, it wuld never grw beynd “a kind f burlesque (滑稽的模仿)”, because rbts-being cmpsed f data-are unable t suffer, while sngs arise ut f suffering.
Fans f Cave and his band will agree that his music is inimitable, but that desn’t mean they wuld necessarily be able t tell the difference. A few days befre Cave’s remarks, experts were asked t distinguish between fur genuine artwrks and their AI imitatins. Their cnclusins were wrng five times ut f 12, and they were nly unitedly right in ne f the fur picture cmparisns.
These are party games, but they pint t an unflding challenge that must be managed as a matter f urgency because, like it r nt, AI art is upn us. The arrival f the human-impersnating ChatGPT might have increased general awareness, but artists acrss a wide range f disciplines are already explring its ptential, with the dancer Wayne McGregr and Lndn’s Yung Vic Theatre amng thse wh have created AI-based wrks.
A strngly-wrded reprt frm Cmmunicatins and Digital Cmmittee (CDC) issued a wake-up call t the gvernment, urging it t raise its game in educating future generatins f tech-savvy prfessinals, and tackling key regulatry challenges. These included reviewing refrms t intellectual prperty law, strengthening the rights f perfrmers and artists, and taking actin t supprt the creative sectr in adapting t the disturbances caused by swift and strmy technlgical change.
While develping AI is imprtant, it shuld nt be pursued at all csts, the CDC stressed. It deplred the failure f the Department fr Digital, Culture, and Media t ffer a defence against prpsed changes t intellectual prperty law that wuld give exemptin (版权豁免) t any wrk, anywhere in the wrld, invlving AI text and data mining.
The challenges f AI are bth philsphical, as Cave suggested, and practical. They will unfld ver the shrt and lng term. State-f-the-art creative industries have a key rle t play in shaping and explring the philsphical nes, but they must have the practical help they require t survive and be successful. They need it nw.
25．Why des the authr mentin the fur picture cmparisns in Paragraph 2?
A．T stress the similarities between AI art and human art.
B．T argue that human art will be replaced by AI art.
C．T prve AI is stretching the bundaries f art.
D．T imply AI art cannt be underestimated.
26．What des the underlined wrd “deplred” in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A．Clearly analyzed.B．Bravely suffered.
C．Strngly criticized.D．Accurately perceived.
27．What can be inferred frm the passage?
A．Sme artists see AI as a tl even thugh it is a threat.
B．Creative industries are respnsible fr causing the AI prblem.
C．Tech prfessinals need mre training t better understand AI art.
D．The quality f AI art dismisses cncerns abut intellectual prperty.
28．Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A．The Creative Thief: AI Makes Perfect Art
B．AI in Art: A Battle That Must Be Fught
C．Threat r Opprtunity: The Impact f AI n Art
D．The Rise f AI Art: What It Means t Human Artists
【答案】25．D 26．C 27．A 28．B
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述一些艺术家对人工智能艺术的看法，并指出人工智能艺术一定会面临挑战。
25．推理判断题。根据第二段“A few days befre Cave’s remarks, experts were asked t distinguish between fur genuine artwrks and their AI imitatins. Their cnclusins were wrng five times ut f 12, and they were nly unitedly right in ne f the fur picture cmparisns. (在凯夫发表讲话前几天，专家们被要求区分四件真正的艺术品和它们的人工智能仿制品。他们的结论在12次中有5次是错误的，而且他们只在四张图片的对比中有一张是完全正确的。)”可推断提到了四幅图片的比较是说明人工智能艺术不可低估，故选D。
26．词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“While develping AI is imprtant, it shuld nt be pursued at all csts, the CDC stressed. (CDC强调，虽然开发人工智能很重要，但不应不惜一切代价追求它。)”和画线单词所在句子“It deplred the failure f the Department fr Digital, Culture, and Media t ffer a defence (它deplred数字、文化和媒体部门未能提供辩护)”可知，开发人工智能很重要，但不应不惜一切代价追求它，这说明CDC对数字、文化和媒体部门未能提供辩护表示批评，故猜测deplred意思是批评，故选C。
27．推理判断题。根据第一段“He understd that AI was in its babyhd, but culd nly cnclude that the true hrrr might be that “it will frever be in its babyhd”. While a rbt might ne day be able t create a sng, he wrte, it wuld never grw beynd “a kind f burlesque (滑稽的模仿)”, because rbts-being cmpsed f data-are unable t suffer, while sngs arise ut f suffering. (他明白人工智能还处于婴儿期，但他只能得出这样的结论：真正的恐怖可能是“它将永远处于婴儿期”。他写道，也许有一天机器人能够创作一首歌，但它永远不会超越“一种滑稽模仿”，因为机器人是由数据组成的，它们无法忍受痛苦，而歌曲是从痛苦中产生的。)”可推断有些艺术家认为尽管人工智能是一种威胁，但它更是一种工具。故选A。
28．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其最后一段“The challenges f AI are bth philsphical, as Cave suggested, and practical. They will unfld ver the shrt and lng term. State-f-the-art creative industries have a key rle t play in shaping and explring the philsphical nes, but they must have the practical help they require t survive and be successful. They need it nw. (正如凯夫所言，人工智能面临的挑战既有哲学层面的，也有实践层面的。它们将在短期和长期内展开。最先进的创意产业在塑造和探索哲学产业方面发挥着关键作用，但它们必须得到生存和成功所需的实际帮助。他们现在就需要。)”可知本文讲述的就是人工智能艺术必定要面临很多挑战，B选项“艺术中的AI：一场必须进行的战斗”符合文章主旨，适合做标题，故选B。
Passage 8
（2023·四川成都·统考三模）What is the biggest bny fish in the wrld? That title belngs t sunfish, which can reach up t ver tw tns. A recently-discvered species f this fish is Mla tecta, which was discvered by Nyegaard, a PhD student in Australia, after a 4-year search.
As part f her PhD research, she analyzed 150 DNA samples frm sunfish ff the cast f Australia and fund that, besides 3 existing species, there is anther that didn’t fit with any knwn species. Actually, this mysterius creature was nt ut f thin air. It was first put n the radar (雷达) in Australian water abut 10 years ag. The researchers at the time had fund genetic evidence f a furth species, but the creature had nt yet been fund.
She and a team f researchers began their searches. They established a netwrk f peple wh culd infrm them whenever a sunfish was fund. Finally, in ne lucky instance they were made aware f fur sunfish that had been washed up n the beach in New Zealand. They immediately flew t take samples. What they cnfirmed is that these sunfish were indeed members f the species they had been searching fr.
“The new species managed t escape discvery fr centuries by ‘hiding’. That is why we named it Mla tecta, meaning ‘hidden’ in Latin,” said Nyegaard.
The team then studied Mla tecta and fund this new species has a slimmer and smther bdy shape than cmmn sunfish, but can still grw t be 2.5 meters lng.
Sunfish aren’t rare, but it’s tricky t study them. They tend t live nly in areas that mst humans dn’t g and they dive hundreds f meters just t feed. While they dn’t need air like sea mammals, they ften surface t sunbathe and invite sea birds t pick the parasites ff their bdies. Nw that researchers have cnfirmed the existence f the furth sunfish, they can rest easy and excitedly learn even mre abut this fish.
29．What des the underlined phrase “ut f thin air” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Unknwn.B．Rare.C．Active.D．Unpredictable.
30．What can we knw abut the team’s searches?
A．They were as smth as expected.
B．Their results were ut f expectatin.
C．They were mainly dne thrugh interviews.
D．They invlved effrts frm nn-prfessinals.
31．What makes it difficult t study sunfish?
A．Their size and shape.B．Their eating habits.
C．Their desire fr sunshine.D．Their habitat and mvements.
32．What is this text mainly abut?
A．The research f a sea animal.B．The discvery f a new species.
C．The characteristics f Mla tecta.D．The difficulty f studying sea animals.
【答案】29．A 30．D 31．D 32．B
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是澳大利亚的博士生Nyegaard经过4年的研究发现了Mla tecta这种新品种的鱼。
29．词句猜测题。根据第二段的“It was first put n the radar (雷达) in Australian water abut 10 years ag. The researchers at the time had fund genetic evidence f a furth species, but the creature had nt yet been fund.(大约10年前，它首次出现在澳大利亚水域的雷达上。当时，研究人员已经发现了第四种鱼的遗传证据，但这种生物尚未被发现)”可知，这种鱼并不是不为人知的，因此划线短语ut f thin air的意思是“未知的”，和unknwn意思相近，故选A。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段的“They established a netwrk f peple wh culd infrm them whenever a sunfish was fund.(他们建立了一个人际网络，只要发现太阳鱼，就可以通知他们)”可知，研究小组的搜索涉及非专业人士的努力。故选D。
31．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Sunfish aren’t rare, but it’s tricky t study them. They tend t live nly in areas that mst humans dn’t g and they dive hundreds f meters just t feed. While they dn’t need air like sea mammals, they ften surface t sunbathe and invite sea birds t pick the parasites ff their bdies.(太阳鱼并不罕见，但研究它们很棘手。它们往往只生活在大多数人类不去的地方，它们会潜入数百米深处觅食。虽然它们不像海洋哺乳动物那样需要空气，但它们经常浮出水面晒太阳，并邀请海鸟从它们身上叼走寄生虫)”可知，让研究太阳鱼变得困难的是它们的栖息地和活动。故选D。
32．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“A recently-discvered species f this fish is Mla tecta, which was discvered by Nyegaard, a PhD student in Australia, after a 4-year search.(最近发现的一种这种鱼是Mla tecta，它是由澳大利亚的博士生Nyegaard经过4年的研究发现的)”可知，本文主要讲的是澳大利亚的博士生Nyegaard经过4年的研究发现了Mla tecta这种新品种的鱼，也就是主要是关于一种新物种的发现。故选B。

Passage 10
（2023·湖北·校联考模拟预测）Scientist Erika Nesvld nce asked a cmpany aiming t mine the mn hw he planned t address risks that mining equipment might carry micrbes (微生物) frm Earth and pllute the mn. The respnse: “We’ll wrry abut that later.”
That’s an irrespnsible mindset when it cmes t preparing fr peple t live and wrk in space, Nesvld argues in her new bk, Off-Earth. “... adpting a ‘wrry abut it later’ me as a path t repeating the tragedies f that histry thrugh ignrance.” Nesvld writes.
Off-Earth is an extensin f her 2017 pdcast (播客), Making New Wrlds, which asked ethical (伦理的) questins abut space settlement. The bk takes sme f the same questins and expands n them.
Mst chapters start with three shrt scenes, usually frm different time perids. A chapter utlining debates ver whether t settle space at all starts by asking the reader t imagine being in the 1600s and deciding t uprt yur family and head t the New Wrld. A chapter n hw land usage and wnership rights might wrk in space imagines a persn recently freed frm slavery in the U. S. Suth in 1865 and wrrying that the new president will take back the land they finally wn. The third scene is usually set in the year 2100, n a space settlement.
Then Nesvld examines hw varius ethical scenaris (场景) related t the chapter’s theme might play ut in space. She qutes experts in fields that dn’t ften cme up in space science: ethics, philsphy, law. This apprach is a departure frm many bks abut the future f life n the final frntier, frcing readers t face hard realities and pssible pints f frictin. T have the best chance f aviding disaster, the time t cnsider thse questins is nw, nt later, even thugh space settlement may be decades r centuries away, Nesvld argues.
Off-Earth shuld be required reading fr anyne wh dreams abut living in space and can help make ur earthbund civilizatins better t.
37．What des the authr intend t d in paragraph 1?
A．T clarify a cncept.B．T intrduce a tpic.
C．T make a predictin.D．T generate a discussin.
38．What set(s) Off-Earth apart frm thers?
A．Its writing style.B．Its text structure.
C．Its stry elements.D．Its writing techniques.
39．What’s Nesvld’s attitude t space settlement?
A．Cautius.B．Unclear.
C．Intlerant.D．Disapprving.
40．What is the text?
A．A shrt stry.B．A news reprt.
C．A bk review.D．A research essay.
【答案】37．B 38．D 39．A 40．C
【导语】本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍了科学家Nesvld的新书Off-Earth的相关内容。
37．推理判断题。文章第一段讲述了一段往事。科学家Nesvld询问一家公司是否担心开发月球会导致月球被污染，却得到不负责任的答复。结合下文对Nesvld的新书Off-Earth的介绍推知，讲述这个故事目的是为了引出本篇文章即将要讨论的主题。故选B。
38．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段的“She qutes experts in fields that dn’t ften cme up in space science: ethics, philsphy, law. This apprach is a departure frm many bks abut the future f life n the final frntier, frcing readers t face hard realities and pssible pints f frictin.(她引用了空间科学中不常出现的领域的专家的话：伦理学、哲学、法律。这种方法与许多关于最后边疆生活未来的书不同，迫使读者面对严峻的现实和可能的摩擦点)”可知，Nevsvld的写作方式使得这本书和其他同样话题的书不一样。故选D。
39．推理判断题。通读全文可知，Nesvld在书中讨论了太空殖民可能碰到的很多问题，再根据文章倒数第二段的“T have the best chance f aviding disaster, the time t cnsider thse questins is nw, nt later, even thugh space settlement may be decades r centuries away, Nesvld argues.(Nesvld认为，为了有最好的机会避免灾难，考虑这些问题的时候是现在，而不是以后，尽管太空解决方案可能需要几十年或几个世纪的时间)”可知，Nesvld并不反对太空殖民，但是他对此却非常小心谨慎，认为要避免重复历史的悲剧。故选A。
40．推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者介绍了Nesvld的一本书，以及其在书中呈现的观点。根据最后一段“Off-Earth shuld be required reading fr anyne wh dreams abut living in space and can help make ur earthbund civilizatins better t.(任何梦想在太空生活的人都应该阅读Off-Earth，这也有助于让我们的地球文明变得更好)”可知，作者还向人们推荐了这本书。由此推知，这是一篇书评。故选C。

（2023·重庆·重庆一中校考模拟预测）Researchers have created a nninvasive (无创的) brain decder that can translate stries heard by participants int a string f text, based n their MRI scans. The team says this technlgy culd ne day aid cmmunicatin in peple wh are mentally cnscius but physically unable t speak, such as strke patients.
“Cmpared t what’s been dne befre using the same nninvasive methd, which typically deals with single wrds r shrt sentences, this new technlgy is a real leap frward,” Alex Huth, a prfessr f neurscience and cmputer science at the University f Texas at Austin, says in a statement. “We’re getting the mdel t decde cntinuus language fr extended perids f time with cmplicated ideas.”
Huth and his clleagues cllected hurs f data frm three participants listening t the pdcasts “Mdern Lve” and “The Mth Radi Hur” while cnnected t a functinal MRI (fMRI) scanner, which recrded the participants’ bld xygen levels in parts f their brains. This data was used t train an A．I. mdel t match specific brain activity patterns with strings f wrds, the team reprts in a new study published Mnday in Nature Neurscience. The decder used GPT-1, an earlier versin f the technlgy that pwers ChatGPT.
When the participants listened t new stries, the tl culdn’t spit back the exact wrds, but it culd cnvey the main idea. Fr example, a participant hearing “I dn’t have my driver’s license yet” had their thughts translated t: “She has nt even started t learn t drive yet.” The researchers als had participants watch muted animated shrt films. Thugh the mdel was trained nly n spken wrds, it culd still generate a language descriptin f what was happening.
Reading minds raises a multitude f ethical questins abut brain privacy, but the researchers say their tl desn’t wrk withut willing cperatin. “This is all abut the user having a new way f cmmunicating, a new tl that is ttally in their cntrl,” David Mses, a researcher f autmatic speech recgnitin at the University f Califrnia, San Francisc, wh was nt invlved in the study, said. “That is the gal, and we have t make sure that stays the gal.”

7．What can be the disadvantage f the new technlgy?
A．A vilatin t persnal privacy.B．A challenge t traditinal culture.
C．A prejudice against the mentally disabled.D．A barrier against human cmmunicatin.
8．Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?

（2023·广东·统考二模）Culd the next Ernest Hemingway r Jane Austen be a well-engineered AI sftware prgram? It’s a questin becming increasingly pressing as machine language-learning sftware cntinues t evlve.
Much f this is just nerves. Tday’s AI creative writing prgrams are nt yet at a stage f develpment where they pse a serius threat t Clleen Hver r Charles Dickens. But while attentin cntinues t fcus n the pssibility f a blanket takever f human literature by AI, far less cnsideratin has been given t the prspect f AI c-wrking with humans.
Earlier this mnth, American sci-fi writer Ken Liu, wh had been awarded Hug and Nebula t his name, jined 12 ther prfessinal authrs fr a writing wrkshp n Ggle’s Wrdcraft. This AI tl, a language generating mdel, is nt yet publicly available but is advertised as an AI-pwered writing assistant that can, when given the right instructin frm the writer, prvide helpful descriptins, create lists f bjects r emtinal states, and even brainstrm ideas.
The writers at the wrkshp, hwever, emerged with mixed reprts. “Wrdcraft is t sensible. Ww!” Rbin Slan wrte. “But ‘sensible’ is anther wrd fr predictable, verused and bring. My intentin here is t prduce smething unexpected.”
I’m uncnvinced that writers awarded the Nbel Prize have much t fear frm AI. Their wrk, and that f cuntless ther nvelists, shrt stry writers, dramatists and pets, is t particular, t beautifully unique. Even if a mdel learned what they had dne in the past, it wuld nt be able t predict where their creativity might take them in the future. But fr authrs wh write fllwing a pattern, AI might step in, first as assistants befre sme day t authrship.
Prductin-line nvels are nthing new. In the 1970s, Barbara Cartland, wh wrte mre than 723 bks in her lifetime, many f which are rmance bestsellers, wuld read her nvels fr her secretary t type up at the remarkable rate f rughly seven chapters a week. But already machine has replaced the secretary’s rle. Perhaps creative writing sftware isn’t that far frm replacing the Mrs. Cartlands f tday.
21．Which aspect f AI calls fr mre attentin?
A．Its damage t ur nerves.
B．Its prgress in literary studies.
C．Its cperatin with humans.
D．Its influence n human literature.
22．What can we learn abut Wrdcraft frm the text?
A．It generates nvels autmatically.
B．It utperfrms prfessinal writers.
C．Its wrks receive praises frm the public.
D．Its wrks bear similarity t existing nes.
23．What can writers d t avid the threat frm AI?
A．Increase writing speed.
B．Use diverse resurces.
C．Prduce creative wrks.
D．Fllw the latest patterns.
24．Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A．Will AI Replace Human Writers?
B．AI Warns Mrs. Cartlands f Tday
C．Is Writing Running int a New Era?
D．Wrd craft Lies at the Center f Debate
【答案】21．C 22．D 23．C 24．A

21．细节理解题。根据第二段的“But while attentin cntinues t fcus n the pssibility f a blanket takever f human literature by AI, far less cnsideratin has been given t the prspect f Al c-wrking with humans.(但是，当我们继续关注人工智能全面接管人类文学的可能性时，人们对人工智能与人类合作的前景的考虑要少得多。)”可知，人工智能与人类的合作更值得关注，故选C。
22．推理判断题。根据第四段的““Wrdcraft is t sensible. Ww!” Rbin Slan wrte. “But ‘sensible’ is anther wrd fr predictable, verused and bring. My intentin here is t prduce smething unexpected.”(Wrd craft太明智了。哇！但“明智”是可预测、过度使用和无聊的另一个词。我的目的是创造一些意想不到的东西。”)”可知，Wrdcraft的作品与现存作品有相似之处。故选D。
23．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Their wrk, and that f cuntless ther nvelists, shrt stry writers, dramatists and pets, is t particular, t beautifully unique. Even if a mdel learned what they had dne in the past, it wuld nt be able t predict where their creativity might take them in the future.(他们的作品，以及无数其他小说家、短篇小说作家、剧作家和诗人的作品，都太过独特，太过美好。即使一个模型了解了他们过去的行为，它也无法预测他们的创造力在未来会把他们带到哪里。)”可知，作家们可以通过创作有创意的作品来避免人工智能的威胁，故选C。
24．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Culd the next Ernest Hemingway r Jane Austen be a well-engineered AI sftware prgram? It’s a questin becming increasingly pressing as machine language-learning sftware cntinues t evlve.(下一个Ernest Hemingway或Jane Austen会是一个精心设计的人工智能软件程序吗？随着机器语言学习软件的不断发展，这个问题变得越来越紧迫。)”和第二段的“Much f this is just nerves. Tday’s AI creative writing prgrams are nt yet at a stage f develpment where they pse a serius threat t Clleen Hver r Charles Dickens.(这在很大程度上只是神经紧张。今天的人工智能创意写作程序还没有发展到对Clleen Hver或Charles Dickens构成严重威胁的阶段。)”可知，本文主要探讨的是人工智能是否会取代人类的作家，因此最好的题目是A选项“Will AI Replace Human Writers?(人工智能会取代人类作家吗？)”，故选A。
Passage 7
（2023·北京西城·二模）Faced with an attempt by a new chatbt t imitate (模仿) his wn sngs, the musician Nick Cave delivered a strng respnse: it was “an abslutely hrrible attempt”. He understd that AI was in its babyhd, but culd nly cnclude that the true hrrr might be that “it will frever be in its babyhd”. While a rbt might ne day be able t create a sng, he wrte, it wuld never grw beynd “a kind f burlesque (滑稽的模仿)”, because rbts-being cmpsed f data-are unable t suffer, while sngs arise ut f suffering.
Fans f Cave and his band will agree that his music is inimitable, but that desn’t mean they wuld necessarily be able t tell the difference. A few days befre Cave’s remarks, experts were asked t distinguish between fur genuine artwrks and their AI imitatins. Their cnclusins were wrng five times ut f 12, and they were nly unitedly right in ne f the fur picture cmparisns.
These are party games, but they pint t an unflding challenge that must be managed as a matter f urgency because, like it r nt, AI art is upn us. The arrival f the human-impersnating ChatGPT might have increased general awareness, but artists acrss a wide range f disciplines are already explring its ptential, with the dancer Wayne McGregr and Lndn’s Yung Vic Theatre amng thse wh have created AI-based wrks.
A strngly-wrded reprt frm Cmmunicatins and Digital Cmmittee (CDC) issued a wake-up call t the gvernment, urging it t raise its game in educating future generatins f tech-savvy prfessinals, and tackling key regulatry challenges. These included reviewing refrms t intellectual prperty law, strengthening the rights f perfrmers and artists, and taking actin t supprt the creative sectr in adapting t the disturbances caused by swift and strmy technlgical change.
While develping AI is imprtant, it shuld nt be pursued at all csts, the CDC stressed. It deplred the failure f the Department fr Digital, Culture, and Media t ffer a defence against prpsed changes t intellectual prperty law that wuld give exemptin (版权豁免) t any wrk, anywhere in the wrld, invlving AI text and data mining.
The challenges f AI are bth philsphical, as Cave suggested, and practical. They will unfld ver the shrt and lng term.

【答案】25．D 26．C 27．A 28．B
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述一些艺术家对人工智能艺术的看法，并指出人工智能艺术一定会面临挑战。
25．推理判断题。根据第二段“A few days befre Cave’s remarks, experts were asked t distinguish between fur genuine artwrks and their AI imitatins. Their cnclusins were wrng five times ut f 12, and they were nly unitedly right in ne f the fur picture cmparisns. (在凯夫发表讲话前几天，专家们被要求区分四件真正的艺术品和它们的人工智能仿制品。他们的结论在12次中有5次是错误的，而且他们只在四张图片的对比中有一张是完全正确的。)”可推断提到了四幅图片的比较是说明人工智能艺术不可低估，故选D。
26．词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“While develping AI is imprtant, it shuld nt be pursued at all csts, the CDC stressed. (CDC强调，虽然开发人工智能很重要，但不应不惜一切代价追求它。)”和画线单词所在句子“It deplred the failure f the Department fr Digital, Culture, and Media t ffer a defence (它deplred数字、文化和媒体部门未能提供辩护)”可知，开发人工智能很重要，但不应不惜一切代价追求它，这说明CDC对数字、文化和媒体部门未能提供辩护表示批评，故猜测deplred意思是批评，故选C。
27．推理判断题。根据第一段“He understd that AI was in its babyhd, but culd nly cnclude that the true hrrr might be that “it will frever be in its babyhd”. While a rbt might ne day be able t create a sng, he wrte, it wuld never grw beynd “a kind f burlesque (滑稽的模仿)”, because rbts-being cmpsed f data-are unable t suffer, while sngs arise ut f suffering. (他明白人工智能还处于婴儿期，但他只能得出这样的结论：真正的恐怖可能是“它将永远处于婴儿期”。他写道，也许有一天机器人能够创作一首歌，但它永远不会超越“一种滑稽模仿”，因为机器人是由数据组成的，它们无法忍受痛苦，而歌曲是从痛苦中产生的。)”可推断有些艺术家认为尽管人工智能是一种威胁，但它更是一种工具。故选A。
28．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其最后一段“The challenges f AI are bth philsphical, as Cave suggested, and practical. They will unfld ver the shrt and lng term. State-f-the-art creative industries have a key rle t play in shaping and explring the philsphical nes, but they must have the practical help they require t survive and be successful. They need it nw. (正如凯夫所言，人工智能面临的挑战既有哲学层面的，也有实践层面的。它们将在短期和长期内展开。最先进的创意产业在塑造和探索哲学产业方面发挥着关键作用，但它们必须得到生存和成功所需的实际帮助。他们现在就需要。)”可知本文讲述的就是人工智能艺术必定要面临很多挑战，B选项“艺术中的AI：一场必须进行的战斗”符合文章主旨，适合做标题，故选B。
Passage 8
（2023·四川成都·统考三模）What is the biggest bny fish in the wrld? That title belngs t sunfish, which can reach up t ver tw tns. A recently-discvered species f this fish is Mla tecta, which was discvered by Nyegaard, a PhD student in Australia, after a 4-year search.
As part f her PhD research, she analyzed 150 DNA samples frm sunfish ff the cast f Australia and fund that, besides 3 existing species, there is anther that didn’t fit with any knwn species. Actually, this mysterius creature was nt ut f thin air. It was first put n the radar (雷达) in Australian water abut 10 years ag. The researchers at the time had fund genetic evidence f a furth species, but the creature had nt yet been fund.
She and a team f researchers began their searches. They established a netwrk f peple wh culd infrm them whenever a sunfish was fund. Finally, in ne lucky instance they were made aware f fur sunfish that had been washed up n the beach in New Zealand. They immediately flew t take samples. What they cnfirmed is that these sunfish were indeed members f the species they had been searching fr.
“The new species managed t escape discvery fr centuries by ‘hiding’. That is why we named it Mla tecta, meaning ‘hidden’ in Latin,” said Nyegaard.
The team then studied Mla tecta and fund this new species has a slimmer and smther bdy shape than cmmn sunfish, but can still grw t be 2.5 meters lng.
Sunfish aren’t rare, but it’s tricky t study them. They tend t live nly in areas that mst humans dn’t g and they dive hundreds f meters just t feed. While they dn’t need air like sea mammals, they ften surface t sunbathe and invite sea birds t pick the parasites ff their bdies. Nw that researchers have cnfirmed the existence f the furth sunfish, they can rest easy and excitedly learn even mre abut this fish.
29．What des the underlined phrase “ut f thin air” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Unknwn.B．Rare.C．Active.D．Unpredictable.
30．What can we knw abut the team’s searches?
A．They were as smth as expected.
B．Their results were ut f expectatin.
C．They were mainly dne thrugh interviews.
D．They invlved effrts frm nn-prfessinals.
31．What makes it difficult t study sunfish?
A．Their size and shape.B．Their eating habits.
C．Their desire fr sunshine.D．Their habitat and mvements.
32．What is this text mainly abut?
A．The research f a sea animal.B．The discvery f a new species.
C．The characteristics f Mla tecta.D．The difficulty f studying sea animals.
【答案】29．A 30．D 31．D 32．B
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是澳大利亚的博士生Nyegaard经过4年的研究发现了Mla tecta这种新品种的鱼。
29．词句猜测题。根据第二段的“It was first put n the radar (雷达) in Australian water abut 10 years ag. The researchers at the time had fund genetic evidence f a furth species, but the creature had nt yet been fund.(大约10年前，它首次出现在澳大利亚水域的雷达上。当时，研究人员已经发现了第四种鱼的遗传证据，但这种生物尚未被发现)”可知，这种鱼并不是不为人知的，因此划线短语ut f thin air的意思是“未知的”，和unknwn意思相近，故选A。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段的“They established a netwrk f peple wh culd infrm them whenever a sunfish was fund.(他们建立了一个人际网络，只要发现太阳鱼，就可以通知他们)”可知，研究小组的搜索涉及非专业人士的努力。故选D。
31．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Sunfish aren’t rare, but it’s tricky t study them. They tend t live nly in areas that mst humans dn’t g and they dive hundreds f meters just t feed. While they dn’t need air like sea mammals, they ften surface t sunbathe and invite sea birds t pick the parasites ff their bdies.(太阳鱼并不罕见，但研究它们很棘手。它们往往只生活在大多数人类不去的地方，它们会潜入数百米深处觅食。虽然它们不像海洋哺乳动物那样需要空气，但它们经常浮出水面晒太阳，并邀请海鸟从它们身上叼走寄生虫)”可知，让研究太阳鱼变得困难的是它们的栖息地和活动。故选D。
32．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“A recently-discvered species f this fish is Mla tecta, which was discvered by Nyegaard, a PhD student in Australia, after a 4-year search.(最近发现的一种这种鱼是Mla tecta，它是由澳大利亚的博士生Nyegaard经过4年的研究发现的)”可知，本文主要讲的是澳大利亚的博士生Nyegaard经过4年的研究发现了Mla tecta这种新品种的鱼，也就是主要是关于一种新物种的发现。故选B。

Passage 10
（2023·湖北·校联考模拟预测）Scientist Erika Nesvld nce asked a cmpany aiming t mine the mn hw he planned t address risks that mining equipment might carry micrbes (微生物) frm Earth and pllute the mn. The respnse: “We’ll wrry abut that later.”
That’s an irrespnsible mindset when it cmes t preparing fr peple t live and wrk in space, Nesvld argues in her new bk, Off-Earth. “... adpting a ‘wrry abut it later’ me as a path t repeating the tragedies f that histry thrugh ignrance.” Nesvld writes.
Off-Earth is an extensin f her 2017 pdcast (播客), Making New Wrlds, which asked ethical (伦理的) questins abut space settlement. The bk takes sme f the same questins and expands n them.
Mst chapters start with three shrt scenes, usually frm different time perids. A chapter utlining debates ver whether t settle space at all starts by asking the reader t imagine being in the 1600s and deciding t uprt yur family and head t the New Wrld. A chapter n hw land usage and wnership rights might wrk in space imagines a persn recently freed frm slavery in the U. S. Suth in 1865 and wrrying that the new president will take back the land they finally wn. The third scene is usually set in the year 2100, n a space settlement.
Then Nesvld examines hw varius ethical scenaris (场景) related t the chapter’s theme might play ut in space. She qutes experts in fields that dn’t ften cme up in space science: ethics, philsphy, law. This apprach is a departure frm many bks abut the future f life n the final frntier, frcing readers t face hard realities and pssible pints f frictin. T have the best chance f aviding disaster, the time t cnsider thse questins is nw, nt later, even thugh space settlement may be decades r centuries away, Nesvld argues.
Off-Earth shuld be required reading fr anyne wh dreams abut living in space and can help make ur earthbund civilizatins better t.
37．What des the authr intend t d in paragraph 1?
A．T clarify a cncept.B．T intrduce a tpic.
C．T make a predictin.D．T generate a discussin.
38．What set(s) Off-Earth apart frm thers?
A．Its writing style.B．Its text structure.
C．Its stry elements.D．Its writing techniques.
39．What’s Nesvld’s attitude t space settlement?
A．Cautius.B．Unclear.
C．Intlerant.D．Disapprving.
40．What is the text?
A．A shrt stry.B．A news reprt.
C．A bk review.D．A research essay.
【答案】37．B 38．D 39．A 40．C
【导语】本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍了科学家Nesvld的新书Off-Earth的相关内容。
37．推理判断题。文章第一段讲述了一段往事。科学家Nesvld询问一家公司是否担心开发月球会导致月球被污染，却得到不负责任的答复。结合下文对Nesvld的新书Off-Earth的介绍推知，讲述这个故事目的是为了引出本篇文章即将要讨论的主题。故选B。
38．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段的“She qutes experts in fields that dn’t ften cme up in space science: ethics, philsphy, law. This apprach is a departure frm many bks abut the future f life n the final frntier, frcing readers t face hard realities and pssible pints f frictin.(她引用了空间科学中不常出现的领域的专家的话：伦理学、哲学、法律。这种方法与许多关于最后边疆生活未来的书不同，迫使读者面对严峻的现实和可能的摩擦点)”可知，Nevsvld的写作方式使得这本书和其他同样话题的书不一样。故选D。
39．推理判断题。通读全文可知，Nesvld在书中讨论了太空殖民可能碰到的很多问题，再根据文章倒数第二段的“T have the best chance f aviding disaster, the time t cnsider thse questins is nw, nt later, even thugh space settlement may be decades r centuries away, Nesvld argues.(Nesvld认为，为了有最好的机会避免灾难，考虑这些问题的时候是现在，而不是以后，尽管太空解决方案可能需要几十年或几个世纪的时间)”可知，Nesvld并不反对太空殖民，但是他对此却非常小心谨慎，认为要避免重复历史的悲剧。故选A。
40．推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者介绍了Nesvld的一本书，以及其在书中呈现的观点。根据最后一段“Off-Earth shuld be required reading fr anyne wh dreams abut living in space and can help make ur earthbund civilizatins better t.(任何梦想在太空生活的人都应该阅读Off-Earth，这也有助于让我们的地球文明变得更好)”可知，作者还向人们推荐了这本书。由此推知，这是一篇书评。故选C。
