In early 2018, I was training fr the Lndn Marathn—the first and nly marathn I wuld ever run in my life. I had treated myself t an expensive fitness watch that tracked my time, pace and splits.
At the end f my final training run—an exhausting 21 miles (34km) —I threw myself dwn n the flr the mment I gt hme, nly t see my watch had failed me. Twenty-ne miles briefly flashed n the screen befre it went blank and disappeared fr ever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image f me crying n my living rm flr pretty much sums up my relatinship with exercise tracking technlgy.
It can be a ttal jy t watch yur data change n running apps as yu get strnger and faster. I nce gt a kick ut f it, but at sme pint it became a stick I used t punish myself. I wuld watch my pace, cmpare it with ther peple’s r criticize myself fr nt ding it 30 secnds faster. I never really recgnized exercise tracking as a prblem. It seemed t me that tracking was the rute t self-imprvement, and the pint was t imprve, wasn’t it? The pint was t be better.
In the past year, the cncept f “being better” has taken n a different meaning. My mental health drpped, and things that were nce easy such as brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stpped meaning getting faster r strnger. It meant taking care f myself and feeling sme jy in a day. Once I started getting better, I reflected n what in my life made me happy and what did nt. S, I stpped tracking my runs and simply deleted years’ wrth f data that was nce very imprtant t me and nw meant nthing.
What has becme very clear t me since I quit tracking my runs is that I genuinely lve ding them. I run arund my lcal park with a silly little smile n my face. I lve it s much. But I d nt lve running quickly. I d nt like races. I d nt want t be pushed t be faster. Things I ntice abut my runs nw include: hw my legs feel and hw my mind feels afterwards-clear and fcused. I ntice dgs, the smell f the wild plants alng the canal and the sunshine (OK, wind and rain) n my face.
I am better. Or smetimes I am wrse. But either way I’m slwly pldding alng, and that’s gd enugh.
4. The authr cried after the final training run because she ________.
A had t stp wrking utB. became physically wrn ut
C. lst the data n the watchD. felt a sharp pain in the legs
5. The authr used t view exercise tracking as ________.
A. a fun hbby fr enjymentB. a strng need fr recgnitin
C. a methd f escaping punishmentD. a way f being a better runner
6. What des “being better” mean t the authr nw?
A. Getting pleasure ut f winning races.B. Being mre fcused n her life gal.
C. Freeing herself frm demanding tasks.D. Imprving her verall well-being.
7. What can we cnclude frm this passage?
A. Adjustment brings happiness.B. Passin is the key t success.
C. Sprts cntribute t happiness.D. Success equals self-imprvement.
C
Imagine living in an apartment in Manhattan. When Cvid-19 hits, yu have nwhere t escape. Instead, yu g up t the rftp, where, t yur surprise, ther renters have cme, t. After sme awkwardness, everyne starts meeting nightly, drinks in hand, t share stries abut themselves. This is the backgrund setting f Furteen Days, a “cllabrative nvel” edited by Margaret Atwd and Duglas Prestn. In additin t these tw, 34 authrs f varied backgrunds cntributed t the bk. It is ne f a grwing number f new wrks, which are written tgether in sme way.
AI services, such as ChatGPT, have started t becme c-authrs, t. Such mdels are als cnversatinal machines, which can suggest phrases, give feedback and answer questins. “Cybrg authrship” is what MrRettberg f University f Bergen calls this. He published a bk with Cybrg authrship, in which ChatGPT is tasked with generating reviews f famus wrks in the style f well-knwn authrs — think Jane Austen writing abut William Burrughs’s Naked Lunch.
Writing with cllabratrs, be they human r artificial, will nly becme mre cmmn. But individual authrs will still dminate creatively. That is because cllectively written bks rarely make fr great literature. Many cntributins t Furteen Days are cleverly wven tgether. But the bk des nt wrk quite well. Then there is authrial eg (自我价值感). Getting all 36 authrs f Furteen Days t agree n the text was a challenge, with sme writers taking issue with hw their stry ended up being framed and referred t by ther cntributrs later. And AI is nt yet fully accepted in literary circles. Recently KudanRie, the winner f Japan’s tp prize fr literature, admitted she used ChatGPT t write arund 5% f her science-fictin nvel Tky Sympathy Twer. Such hnesty is rare because mst wuld never admit using AI. A new srt f “ghst writing” may be having a mment, but many writers will never want t name ChatGPT as their c-authr.
8. Wh created Furteen Days?
A. New Yrkers suffering frm Cvid-19.B. Margaret Atwd and Duglas Prestn.
C. Renters f a Manhattan apartment building.D. Separate writers frm different walks f life.
9. What is ChatGPT’s cntributin t MrRettberg’s bk?
A. Generating phrases.B. Giving feedback.
C. Writing bk reviews.D. Imprving language fluency.
10. What is the main reasn fr the dminance f individual authrs?
A. Cllabrative writing is becming less cmmn.B. Individual authrship makes creative literature.
C. Mst authrs reject t cperate with AI.D. Individual writing imprves efficiency.
11. What is the authr’s attitude twards cllabrative writing?
A. Favrable.B. Negative.C. Cautius.D. Optimistic.

The Califrnia sea tter (海獭), nce hunted t the edge f extinctin, has staged a thrilling cmeback in the last century. Nw, scientists have discvered that the tters’ success stry has led t smething just as remarkable: the restratin f their declining castal marsh (沼泽) habitat.
Elkhrn Slugh, a castal marsh within Mnterey Bay, had been experiencing severe damage. The rt cause was a grwing ppulatin f shre crabs, which fed heavily n the marsh plants, weakening the structural integrity f the habitat. Castal marshes like these are nt nly natural defenses against strm waves but als serve as imprtant carbn strage areas and water-cleaning systems.
The cnservatin-driven cmeback f the sea tter has been crucial. Califrnia’s castlines were nce alive with sea tters. Sadly, they were nearly wiped ut at the hands f fur traders. In the 1980s, cnservatin effrts aided these tters in re-ccupying large areas f their frmer range. Nw, Elkhrn Slugh has the highest cncentratin f sea tters in Califrnia, with a ppulatin f abut 100. By naturally feasting n crabs, the tters have helped a significant regrwth f plant life. Brent Hughes, a scientist wrking alngside Angelini, led a three-year study. Their findings were clear: in areas with sea tters, crab numbers fell markedly. This led t a resurgence in plant grwth, which in turn stabilized the sil and lwered the rate f sil washing away.
As the sea tter ppulatin cntinues t restre, their psitive impact n castal ecsystems is likely t increase. It nt nly shwcases the sea tter as a central species—a species that has a significant effect n its natural envirnment—but als highlights the essential nature f tp predatrs (捕食者) in preserving eclgical harmny. “My hnest reactin was—this culd becme a classic in the literature,” says scientist Lekelia Jenkins. She reveals marsh restratin als helps peple by reducing flding. “Suddenly, sea tters g frm just cute things we like t smething that can prtect ur livelihds and ur prperties.”
12. What change did the disappearance f sea tters bring abut?
A. Fewer predatry crabs.B. Mre castal plant life.
C. Better water-cleaning effect.D. Wrse castal eclgical balance.
13. What des the underlined wrd “resurgence” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Barrier.B. Advancement.C. Expansin.D. Revival.
14. What is the authr’s purpse in quting Lekelia Jenkins?
A. T highlight the imprtance f castal marshes.
B. T intrduce a new research study n sea tters.
C. T demnstrate the practical benefits f sea tters.
D. T emphasize the need fr increased cnservatin effrts.
15. What message is cnveyed frm sea tters’ impact?
A. The necessity fr cntrlled hunting.
B. The intercnnectedness f the ecsystem.
C. The drawbacks f wildlife reintrductin.
D. The need fr human interventin in nature.

In early 2018, I was training fr the Lndn Marathn—the first and nly marathn I wuld ever run in my life. I had treated myself t an expensive fitness watch that tracked my time, pace and splits.
At the end f my final training run—an exhausting 21 miles (34km) —I threw myself dwn n the flr the mment I gt hme, nly t see my watch had failed me. Twenty-ne miles briefly flashed n the screen befre it went blank and disappeared fr ever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image f me crying n my living rm flr pretty much sums up my relatinship with exercise tracking technlgy.
It can be a ttal jy t watch yur data change n running apps as yu get strnger and faster. I nce gt a kick ut f it, but at sme pint it became a stick I used t punish myself. I wuld watch my pace, cmpare it with ther peple’s r criticize myself fr nt ding it 30 secnds faster. I never really recgnized exercise tracking as a prblem. It seemed t me that tracking was the rute t self-imprvement, and the pint was t imprve, wasn’t it? The pint was t be better.
In the past year, the cncept f “being better” has taken n a different meaning. My mental health drpped, and things that were nce easy such as brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stpped meaning getting faster r strnger. It meant taking care f myself and feeling sme jy in a day. Once I started getting better, I reflected n what in my life made me happy and what did nt. S, I stpped tracking my runs and simply deleted years’ wrth f data that was nce very imprtant t me and nw meant nthing.
What has becme very clear t me since I quit tracking my runs is that I genuinely lve ding them. I run arund my lcal park with a silly little smile n my face. I lve it s much. But I d nt lve running quickly. I d nt like races. I d nt want t be pushed t be faster. Things I ntice abut my runs nw include: hw my legs feel and hw my mind feels afterwards-clear and fcused. I ntice dgs, the smell f the wild plants alng the canal and the sunshine (OK, wind and rain) n my face.
I am better. Or smetimes I am wrse. But either way I’m slwly pldding alng, and that’s gd enugh.

(当你变得更强壮、更快时，看着你的数据在运行的应用程序上发生变化，这可能是一种完全的快乐。我曾经很喜欢它，但在某种程度上，它成了我用来惩罚自己的棍子。我会观察自己的速度，和别人比较，或者批评自己没有快30秒。我从未真正意识到运动追踪是个问题。在我看来，跟踪是自我提升的途径，而重点是提高，不是吗？关键是要变得更好)”可知，作者曾将运动跟踪视为成为更好的跑步者的一种方式。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Things I ntice abut my runs nw include: hw my legs feel and hw my mind feels afterwards-clear and fcused.

Imagine living in an apartment in Manhattan. When Cvid-19 hits, yu have nwhere t escape. Instead, yu g up t the rftp, where, t yur surprise, ther renters have cme, t. After sme awkwardness, everyne starts meeting nightly, drinks in hand, t share stries abut themselves. This is the backgrund setting f Furteen Days, a “cllabrative nvel” edited by Margaret Atwd and Duglas Prestn. In additin t these tw, 34 authrs f varied backgrunds cntributed t the bk. It is ne f a grwing number f new wrks, which are written tgether in sme way.
AI services, such as ChatGPT, have started t becme c-authrs, t. Such mdels are als cnversatinal machines, which can suggest phrases, give feedback and answer questins. “Cybrg authrship” is what MrRettberg f University f Bergen calls this. He published a bk with Cybrg authrship, in which ChatGPT is tasked with generating reviews f famus wrks in the style f well-knwn authrs — think Jane Austen writing abut William Burrughs’s Naked Lunch.
Writing with cllabratrs, be they human r artificial, will nly becme mre cmmn. But individual authrs will still dminate creatively. That is because cllectively written bks rarely make fr great literature. Many cntributins t Furteen Days are cleverly wven tgether. But the bk des nt wrk quite well. Then there is authrial eg (自我价值感). Getting all 36 authrs f Furteen Days t agree n the text was a challenge, with sme writers taking issue with hw their stry ended up being framed and referred t by ther cntributrs later. And AI is nt yet fully accepted in literary circles. Recently KudanRie, the winner f Japan’s tp prize fr literature, admitted she used ChatGPT t write arund 5% f her science-fictin nvel Tky Sympathy Twer. Such hnesty is rare because mst wuld never admit using AI. A new srt f “ghst writing” may be having a mment, but many writers will never want t name ChatGPT as their c-authr.

【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“But individual authrs will still dminate creatively. That is because cllectively written bks rarely make fr great literature.(但个人作家仍将在创作上占据主导地位。这是因为集体写作的书很少能成为伟大的文学作品)”可知，个人作者占主导地位的主要原因是个人创作创造文学。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段作者陈述了合作写作呈上升趋势，但文章最后两段作者表明个人写作仍然占据主导地位。同时作者从多方面分析了个人写作占主导的原因，根据文章最后一段中“Writing with cllabratrs, be they human r artificial, will nly becme mre cmmn. But individual authrs will still dminate creatively. That is because cllectively written bks rarely make fr great literature. (与人或人工合作写作只会变得越来越普遍。但个人作家仍将在创作上占据主导地位。这是因为集体写作的书很少能成为伟大的文学作品。)”以及“A new srt f “ghst writing” may be having a mment, but many writers will never want t name ChatGPT as their c-authr.(一种新的“代写”可能正在兴起，但许多作者永远不会愿意将ChatGPT命名为他们的合著者)”可知，作者认为个人作家仍将在创作上占据主导地位，尽管一种新的“代写”可能正在兴起，但大多数作家拒绝承认使用ChatGPT。由此可知作者对合作写作是持谨慎态度的。故选C项。

The Califrnia sea tter (海獭), nce hunted t the edge f extinctin, has staged a thrilling cmeback in the last century. Nw, scientists have discvered that the tters’ success stry has led t smething just as remarkable: the restratin f their declining castal marsh (沼泽) habitat.
Elkhrn Slugh, a castal marsh within Mnterey Bay, had been experiencing severe damage. The rt cause was a grwing ppulatin f shre crabs, which fed heavily n the marsh plants, weakening the structural integrity f the habitat. Castal marshes like these are nt nly natural defenses against strm waves but als serve as imprtant carbn strage areas and water-cleaning systems.
The cnservatin-driven cmeback f the sea tter has been crucial. Califrnia’s castlines were nce alive with sea tters. Sadly, they were nearly wiped ut at the hands f fur traders. In the 1980s, cnservatin effrts aided these tters in re-ccupying large areas f their frmer range. Nw, Elkhrn Slugh has the highest cncentratin f sea tters in Califrnia, with a ppulatin f abut 100. By naturally feasting n crabs, the tters have helped a significant regrwth f plant life. Brent Hughes, a scientist wrking alngside Angelini, led a three-year study. Their findings were clear: in areas with sea tters, crab numbers fell markedly. This led t a resurgence in plant grwth, which in turn stabilized the sil and lwered the rate f sil washing away.
As the sea tter ppulatin cntinues t restre, their psitive impact n castal ecsystems is likely t increase. It nt nly shwcases the sea tter as a central species—a species that has a significant effect n its natural envirnment—but als highlights the essential nature f tp predatrs (捕食者) in preserving eclgical harmny. “My hnest reactin was—this culd becme a classic in the literature,” says scientist Lekelia Jenkins. She reveals marsh restratin als helps peple by reducing flding. “Suddenly, sea tters g frm just cute things we like t smething that can prtect ur livelihds and ur prperties.”
12. What change did the disappearance f sea tters bring abut?
A. Fewer predatry crabs.B. Mre castal plant life.
C. Better water-cleaning effect.D. Wrse castal eclgical balance.
13. What des the underlined wrd “resurgence” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Barrier.B. Advancement.C. Expansin.D. Revival.
14. What is the authr’s purpse in quting Lekelia Jenkins?
A. T highlight the imprtance f castal marshes.
B. T intrduce a new research study n sea tters.
C. T demnstrate the practical benefits f sea tters.
D. T emphasize the need fr increased cnservatin effrts.
15. What message is cnveyed frm sea tters’ impact?
A. The necessity fr cntrlled hunting.
B. The intercnnectedness f the ecsystem.
C. The drawbacks f wildlife reintrductin.
D. The need fr human interventin in nature.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍海獭的恢复历程及其对沿海沼泽生态系统的积极影响，强调了顶级捕食者在维持生态平衡中的重要作用。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Elkhrn Slugh, a castal marsh within Mnterey Bay, had been experiencing severe damage. The rt cause was a grwing ppulatin f shre crabs, which fed heavily n the marsh plants, weakening the structural integrity f the habitat.(埃尔克霍恩沼泽是蒙特利湾的一个沿海沼泽，已经遭受了严重的破坏。根本原因是岸边蟹的数量不断增加，它们以沼泽植物为食，削弱了栖息地的结构完整性。)”可知，海獭的消失导致了沿海生态平衡的恶化。故选D项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“By naturally feasting n crabs, the tters have helped a significant regrwth f plant life.(通过以螃蟹为食，水獭帮助了植物的再生。)”说明水獭通过以螃蟹为食，可以帮助植物的再生，从而推知划线词句“Their findings were clear: in areas with sea tters, crab numbers fell markedly. This led t a resurgence in plant grwth, which in turn stabilized the sil and lwered the rate f sil washing away.(他们的发现很明确：在有海獭的地区，螃蟹的数量明显下降。这导致了植物生长的resurgence，反过来又稳定了土壤，降低了土壤被冲走的速度。)”其中划线词应为“复苏”的意思，与D项同义。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘My hnest reactin was — this culd becme a classic in the literature,’ says scientist Lekelia Jenkins. She reveals marsh restratin als helps peple by reducing flding. ‘Suddenly, sea tters g frm just cute things we like t smething that can prtect ur livelihds and ur prperties.’(科学家Lekelia Jenkins 说：‘我的真实反应是，这可能会成为文学经典。’她透露，沼泽恢复也通过减少洪水来帮助人们。‘突然之间，海獭从我们喜欢的可爱动物变成了可以保护我们生计和财产的动物。’)”可知，作者引用Lekelia Jenkins的话是为了展示海獭对人类的实际益处，如减少洪水灾害等。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As the sea tter ppulatin cntinues t restre, their psitive impact n castal ecsystems is likely t increase. It nt nly shwcases the sea tter as a central species—a species that has a significant effect n its natural envirnment — but als highlights the essential nature f tp predatrs (捕食者) in preserving eclgical harmny.(随着海獭数量的持续恢复，它们对沿海生态系统的积极影响可能会增加。它不仅展示了海獭作为一个关键物种——一个对自然环境有重大影响的物种——而且突出了顶级捕食者在维护生态和谐方面的本质)”可知，文章通过展示海獭对沿海生态系统的积极影响，传达了生态系统之间相互联系的信息。故选B项。

【答案】16. E 17. B 18. D 19. G 20. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了共同阅读的好处。
【16题详解】
上文“Will yu carry n reading tgether later? Generally speaking, reading tends t be seen as an individual pastime.(你们以后会继续一起读书吗?一般来说，阅读往往被视为一种个人消遣)”讲阅读往往被视为一种孤独的消遣，说明共同阅读不常见，下文“Hwever, the benefits f sharing the experience are numerus and wrth sticking with thrughut the year(然而，分享经验的好处很多，值得一整年坚持下去)”讲这种共同阅读的经历好处多多，该空内容应与“共同阅读不常见”相关，与下文也形成转折，表明共同阅读虽不常见，但好处多多，E选项“S it might seem unusual t pullut a nvel in the cmpany f thers.(因此，在别人的陪伴下读一本小说似乎很不寻常。)”切合语境。故选E项。
【17题详解】
设空处是段首句，为本段的主旨句。下文“Fr example, yu dn’t have t brainstrm t rganize a cnversatin, because yu bth have a bk in yur hands. Yu can get lst in yur bk withut wrrying abut seeming rude by nt keeping up a cnstant stream f chatter. As yu bth enter the same state, yur bld pressure will g dwn, muscle tensin will ease, and yur wrries will fade away. All these put yu at ease. (例如，你们不必集思广益来组织对话，因为你们手里都有一本书。你可以迷失在你的书中，而不用担心不停地闲聊会显得粗鲁。当你们进入相同的状态时，你们的血压会下降，肌肉紧张会缓解，你们的担忧也会消失。所有这些都让你放心)”列举了共同阅读的多种好处，B选项“Reading with thers is cmfrting in many ways.(和别人一起阅读在很多方面都令人感到欣慰。)”引出下文，B项中的“is cmfrting in many ways”能够概括本段中提到的多种好处。故选B项。
【18题详解】
由下文“A quiet cmer f the playgrund, a blanket spread ut n the grass in the garden, r any calm space where yu feel relaxed will d.(操场上一个安静的角落，在花园的草地上铺一条毯子，或者任何你觉得放松的安静空间都可以)”可知，共同阅读并不限制场地，一个安静的地方就行，D选项“Besides, yu dn’t need t find a specific place t get int this zne.(此外，你不必找一个特定的地方来进入这种状态。)”能引起下文的例子。故选D项。
【19题详解】
由上文“Spending time tgether reading can strengthen friendships. (花时间一起阅读可以加强友谊)”可知共同阅读可以加强友谊，再结合上文“Smetimes, yu’ll cme acrss mre serius themes, such as lsing a lve dne r a cherished pet, r facing anyne f life’s many challenges.(有时，你会遇到更严肃的主题，比如失去一段爱情或心爱的宠物，或者面对生活中的许多挑战)”讲共同阅读时会碰到的更严重的主题，可知该空应该讲共同阅读下这些主题会对加强友谊所起到的积极作用，G选项“Discussing these themes can help deepen the bnd between yu and yur friend.(讨论这些主题有助于加深你和朋友之间的联系。)”切合语境。故选G项。
【20题详解】
位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Reading fictin has been shwn t enhance empathy (共情), which is the ability t understand and share the feelings f anther. As yu knw, nvels allw us t live cuntless experiences thrugh their characters.(阅读小说已被证明可以增强同理心，这是一种理解和分享他人感受的能力。正如你所知道的，小说让我们通过他们的人物经历了无数的经历)”可知，本段主要讲述了阅读能增强同理心，所以A项“They will result in heightened sensitivity.(它们会导致高度敏感)”符合文意，是对前文的总结。故选A项。

Mm had really utdne herself with masala — ur family’s all-time favrite dish back in India. But tday, it wasn’t just abut me and my lunch. A warm smile n his face, Ricky invited me, a new transfer student frm India t New Yrk city, fr lunch.
“Ava, cme sit here!” Ricky called ut, gesturing twards a vacant seat.
As I made my way ver, memries f thse awkward lunchtimes when I studied in Kansas, ne f the mst cnservative states, flded back. I culd still recall hw everyne wuld wrinkle their nses and stare curiusly when I unpacked my Indian fd. It always made me feel like an utsider, like I didn’t belng.
Therefre, befre my first day in this schl, I had demanded my mm pack “nrmal” western-style fd fr me. I still remembered the lk n her face upn hearing it, as she signed in disappintment and cnfusin, “Isn’t there a mment when yu feel prud f yur rigin?” That was hurting, but nt mre hurting than thers’ giggles and whispers. Hnestly, lng queues were cmmn in Indian restaurants in New Yrk city, a cultural melting pt, but I wuldn’t take that risk.
Unfrtunately, this mrning, Mm had frgtten t make sandwich r any “nrmal” fd, s I had t bring leftvers frm ur dinner. At the thught f the pssible h-n-secnd (社死), I felt like being thrwn int darkness.
Hwever, befre I came back t reality, Ricky nticed my sneaking (躲躲藏藏). “What d yu have fr lunch?” he asked, his eyes twinkling with interest. I tried t brush it ff (搪塞), claiming I wasn’t hungry.
