The Basics(基本原则) One of the best ways to see the Seine is to walk along it, particularly from Les Invalides to Ile Saint-Louis, where you can go across the river on bridges such as Pont Alexandre III, Pont Royal, and Pont des Arts to see some of the most beautiful and best-known buildings in France. Besides, a River Seine trip allows you to rest your legs and enjoy the sights; book a brunch, lunch, or dinner trip to combine your sightseeing with a French meal, or choose the Eiffel Tower to enjoy two of Paris’ most popular activities on one tour. Things to Know Before You Go While you are running through Paris’ main tourist areas, the River Seine is hard to miss; you won’t have to go far to find it. There are more than 30 bridges over the Seine in Paris. You should wear comfortable shoes for walking along the banks and bridges and be prepared for crowds on popular bridges like Pont des Arts. When to Get There For a peaceful walk, head to the river in the early morning hours before most of the crowds and travelers arrive. Or go for an after-dinner walk to take in the scenery of the City of Light on the water. Visiting Canal Saint-Martin In northeast Paris, the Canal Saint-Martin area is a place where you can see footbridges and modern locals instead of the Seine’s traffic and tourists. Enjoy a more relaxing moment. 36. Which of the following can be used to describe the River Seine? A. A riverboat provider. B. A good place to swim. C. A dividing line in Paris. D. An ancient sightseeing place. 37. Which is the best line to walk along to see the River Seine according to the author? A. From the Right Bank to the Left Bank. B. From Les Invalides to Ile Saint-Louis. C. From Pont Alexandre Ⅲ to Pont Royal. D. From Pont des Arts to the Eiffel Tower. 38. What can we know about the River Seine from the passage? A. It is too far away to be found. B. Popular bridges over it may be very crowded. C. It is so wide that there are few bridges across it. D. Comfortable clothes should be prepared when you walk over its bank. 39 When does the author suggest visiting the River Seine? A. At midnight. B. At the dinner time. C. The time when there aren’t crowds. D. The time when other travelers arrive. 40. What can we infer from the passage? A. Travelers should bring enough food before visiting the River Seine. B. Travelers can see the Seine’s traffic and tourists in the Canal Saint-Martin area. C. It’s a good choice to visit the Eiffel Tower on another tour after visiting the Seine. D. It’s a good idea to see the Seine and enjoy a French meal at the same time. 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. B 39. C 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了去巴黎塞纳河游玩的一些注意事项。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It divides the Right Bank from the Left Bank, acting as a dividing line;(它作为一条分界线，把右岸和左岸分开，)”可知，塞纳河是巴黎的分界线。故选C。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Basics(基本原则)部分中的“One of the best ways to see the Seine is to walk along it, particularly from Les Invalides to Ile Saint-Louis, where you can go across the river on bridges such as Pont Alexandre III, Pont Royal, and Pont des Arts to see some of the most beautiful and best-known buildings in France. (看塞纳河最好的方式之一就是沿着它走，特别是从Les Invalides到Ile Saint-Louis，你可以通过亚历山大三世桥、皇家桥和艺术桥等桥梁跨过塞纳河，去看看法国最美丽和最著名的建筑。)”可知，作者认为，从Les Invalides到Ile Saint-Louis这路线去看塞纳河最好，故选B。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据Things to Know Before You Go部分中的“You should wear comfortable shoes for walking along the banks and bridges and be prepared for crowds on popular bridges like Pont des Arts.(你应该穿着舒适的鞋子沿着河岸和桥梁走，Pont des Arts这样受欢迎的桥上人很多，你要为此做好准备。)”可知，塞纳河上面的受欢迎的桥梁可能非常拥挤。故选B。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据When to Get There部分中的“For a peaceful walk, head to the river in the early morning hours before most of the crowds and travelers arrive. (想要安静地散步，就要在早上大多数人群和旅行者到达之前去河边。)”可知，作者建议在没有人群拥挤时去游览塞纳河，故选C。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据The Basics(基本原则)部分中的“Besides, a River Seine trip allows you to rest your legs and enjoy the sights;book a brunch, lunch, or dinner trip to combine your sightseeing with a French meal, or choose the Eiffel Tower to enjoy two of Paris’ most popular activities on one tour.(除此之外，塞纳河之旅可以让你放松双腿，欣赏风景，预定一次早午餐、午餐或晚餐旅行，把观光与法式大餐结合起来，或者选择艾菲尔铁塔，在一次旅行中享受巴黎最受欢迎的两项活动。)”可推知，一边欣赏塞纳河，一边享用法国大餐是个不错的主意。故选D。 B McCormick Place in Chicago, the largest convention center (会议中心) in North America, is covered in glass that is enjoyable for humans but deadly for birds. On Oct 5, over 1,000 migrating birds died from colliding with (相撞) its glass walls in a single day. According to data from Cornell University, the number of birds killed there during that one night is roughly equal to the typical yearly bird collision deaths at the building. One key reason for the accident is the glass. During the day, birds fly toward glass as it reflects a perfect image of the sky and nearby trees. As night falls, the bright light from glass buildings attracts birds who fly according to the location of the moon and stars. The recent collision happened on the night of Oct 5, when the lights in the building were on for an event. After colliding with a building, many birds will die on the spot from a broken skull. Others may continue to fly for some distance, but they rarely survive for more than a few hours, as Brendon Samuels, who researches bird window collisions at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, told The Guardian. Every year, nearly one billion birds collide with glass in the US, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service. In China, bird collisions are not uncommon, either. In the autumn of 2022 and spring of 2023, the National Anti-bird Collisions Action Alliance reported a total of 190 cases of bird collisions, which included several types of birds listed as second-class protected wildlife. These tragedies (悲剧) could have been avoided if appropriate (合适的) measures had been taken. Many places around the world have already put forward bird-related guidelines on building design. These include reducing the use of glass in building walls and applying bird-friendly materials and visual markers (视觉标记) to the buildings’ walls.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了芝加哥麦考密克广场(McCormick Place)是北美最大的会议中心，它被玻璃覆盖，对人类来说是愉快的，但对鸟类来说却是致命的。10月5日，一天之内就有1000多只候鸟因撞上玻璃墙而死亡。 41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“On Oct 5, over 1,000 migrating birds died from colliding with (相撞) its glass walls in a single day.”（10月5日，一天之内就有1000多只候鸟因撞上玻璃墙而死亡。）以及第三段中“One key reason for the accident is the glass.”（事故的一个关键原因是玻璃。）可知，关于10月5日发生在芝加哥的撞鸟事件，我们知道大楼的玻璃是造成这种现象的主要原因。故选D项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“After colliding with a building, many birds will die on the spot from a broken skull. Others may continue to fly for some distance, but they rarely survive for more than a few hours, as Brendon Samuels, who researches bird window collisions at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, told The Guardian.”（在与建筑物相撞后，许多鸟会因头骨破裂而当场死亡。其他的可能会继续飞行一段距离，但它们很少能存活超过几个小时，加拿大西安大略大学研究鸟窗碰撞的布兰登·塞缪尔斯告诉《卫报》。）可知，根据文章，鸟儿与建筑物相撞后会，许多鸟因受伤而当场死亡或在几小时内死亡。故选A项。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Every year, nearly one billion birds collide with glass in the US, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service. In China, bird collisions are not uncommon, either. In the autumn of 2022 and spring of 2023, the National Anti-bird Collisions Action Alliance reported a total of 190 cases of bird collisions, which included several types of birds listed as second-class protected wildlife.”（根据美国鱼类和野生动物管理局的数据，美国每年有近10亿只鸟与玻璃相撞。在中国，撞鸟事件也屡见不鲜。在2022年秋季和2023年春季，国家反鸟类碰撞行动联盟报告了总共190起鸟类碰撞事件，其中包括几种被列为二级保护野生动物的鸟类。）可推知，鸟类建筑碰撞的典型特征是常见且对鸟类有害。故选A项。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“These tragedies (悲剧) could have been avoided if appropriate (合适的) measures had been taken. Many places around the world have already put forward bird-related guidelines on building design. These include reducing the use of glass in building walls and applying bird-friendly materials and visual markers (视觉标记) to the buildings’ walls.”（如果采取了适当的措施，这些悲剧本来是可以避免的。世界上许多地方已经提出了与鸟类有关的建筑设计准则。这些措施包括减少在建筑墙壁上使用玻璃，并在建筑墙壁上使用对鸟类友好的材料和视觉标记。）可知，建议采取在建筑物中减少玻璃并增加鸟类安全材料等措施来防止鸟类碰撞。故选D项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“McCormick Place in Chicago, the largest convention center (会议中心) in North America, is covered in glass that is enjoyable for humans but deadly for birds. On Oct 5, over 1,000 migrating birds died from colliding with (相撞) its glass walls in a single day.”（芝加哥的麦考密克广场(McCormick Place)是北美最大的会议中心，它被玻璃覆盖，对人类来说是愉快的，但对鸟类来说却是致命的。10月5日，一天之内就有1000多只候鸟因撞上玻璃墙而死亡。）可知，文章主要讲的是鸟撞建筑玻璃的悲剧。故选C项。 C Recently, a Chinese app known as Zao has been going viral (疯传) on the Internet, getting thousands of downloads (下载), mainly because it lets its users put their face over the top of actors in scenes from movies or TV shows. It went to number one on the Chinese iOS App Store list and has been the most-downloaded free app in just a few days after it came out. A Twitter user who is mad about Zao has achieved a little fame by sharing the Zao videos of himself in famous TV and movie scenes online. His videos show that he really looks like the main actor in the movies “The Hulk”,“Titanic”, and in the TV drama “Game of Thrones”, which takes just eight seconds. However, the Zao app is only available for people with a Chinese phone number, which means it cannot be downloaded from app stores in the USA or Europe. The app is based on a new computer technology called deepfake which has spread on the Internet. The word “deepfake” is a combination of “deep learning”, which is an important part of artificial intelligence (AI人工智能) and “fake”, which means not real. The new computer technology is causing people to be worried about more fake news and other things that can mislead them. Deepfake software allows people to replace part of a picture or video with another picture or video. The result is a fake video. The software means you can put your face over the face of a talking president or movie star. This process will make your face speak in the voice of that president or movie star. Many American people are worried that the technology will be used in some important national activities. Other people worry that they might lose their facial recognition data. It is possible that hackers (黑客) could steal this data from app companies and use it to hack into users’ phones and steal their money. 46. What can users do with the help of Zao? A. They can perform in real TV shows. B. They can download movies for free. C. They can put their faces into popular videos. D. They can make themselves look more beautiful. 47. It can be inferred from the passage that_____. A. an online app based on Zao is designed B. Zao achieved success after it came out C. the new app is only available for Twitter users D. it will take a long time to replace actors’ faces with yours 48. What is the weakness of Zao? A. Its high price. B. Its difficult operation. C. Its outdated system. D. Its limitation of users. 49. What do Paragraphs 4 and 5 talk about? A. Why people worry about the new computer technology. B. How to use the new computer technology the right way. C. Why so many people like using deepfake software. D. How to stop hackers from using deepfake software. 50. What can we learn from the passage? A. It’s safe to use Zao and other deepfake software. B. The new deepfake app will soon lose most of its users. C. Many users prefer Zao to deepfake because of its price. D. Different people have different opinions about Zao. 【答案】46. C 47. B 48. D 49. A 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。最近，一款名为“Zao”的中国应用在互联网上走红，它可以让用户在电影或电视剧场景中把演员的脸换成自己的。文章介绍了该应用程序以及不同的人对该应用程序的不同看法。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Recently, a Chinese app known as Zao has been going viral (疯传) on the Internet, getting thousands of downloads (下载), mainly because it lets its users put their face over the top of actors in scenes from movies or TV shows. (最近，一款名为“Zao”的中国应用在互联网上走红，下载量达到数千次，主要是因为它可以让用户在电影或电视剧场景中把演员的脸换成自己的。)”可知，Zao的用户可以把他们的脸放进流行的视频里。故选C。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“It went to number one on the Chinese iOS App Store list and has been the most-downloaded free app in just a few days after it came out.(它在中国 iOS 应用商店排行榜上名列第一，并且在发布后的几天内成为下载量最大的免费应用。)”可推知，Zao发布几天内广受下载，在中国 iOS 应用商店排行榜上名列第一，可得出Zao在开发出来后就取得了成功，故选B。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, the Zao app is only available for people with a Chinese phone number, which means it cannot be downloaded from app stores in the USA or Europe.(然而，Zao应用程序只适用于拥有中国电话号码的用户，这意味着它不能从美国或欧洲的应用程序商店下载。)”可知，Zao只适用于拥有中国电话号码的用户，由此可知，Zao的缺点是限制不同的用户。故选D。 【49题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The new computer technology is causing people to be worried about more fake news and other things that can mislead them...This process will make your face speak in the voice of that president or movie star. Many American people are worried that the technology will be used in some important national activities.(新的计算机技术使人们担心更多的假新闻和其他可能误导他们的事情。……这个过程会让你的脸用总统或电影明星的声音说话。许多美国人担心这项技术将被用于一些重要的国家活动。)”和第五段“Other people worry that they might lose their facial recognition data.(其他人担心他们可能会丢失他们的面部识别数据)”可知，第四段和第五段解释了人们担心新的计算机技术的原因。故选A。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The new computer technology is causing people to be worried about more fake news and other things that can mislead them. (新的计算机技术使人们担心更多的假新闻和其他可能误导他们的事情。)”，“Many American people are worried that the technology will be used in some important national activities.(许多美国人担心这项技术将被用于一些重要的国家活动。)”和最后一段中“Other people worry that they might lose their facial recognition data.(其他人担心他们可能会丢失他们的面部识别数据)”可推知，对于使用新技术的应用程序Zao，不同的人有不同的看法，故选D。 第Ⅱ卷(满分25分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career as an educational consultant. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools. My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay(黏土). Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language. I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along. I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it. Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day I practiced reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I was literate. Having gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting. 51. What made the author’s school days difficult? (No more than 5 words) 52. Why did art give the author confidence? (No more than 10 words) 53. What lesson did the author learn from rock climbing? (No more than 15 words) 54. What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 4? (No more than 5 words) 55. How does the author’s story inspire you to overcome difficulties in life? Put it in your own words. (No more than 20 words) 【答案】51. （His）learning disability. Or:Having a learning disability. Or:That he was learning disabled. Or:He had a learning disability. 52. He could be smart and express himself with clay. Or:Art could help him express himself without words. Or:He could well express himself with clay/art. 53. If you enjoy something and keep doing it, you will get better at it. Or:The more you practice something, the better at it you will become. Or:Practice makes perfect. Or:Pracitce leads to success. 54. I could read and write. 55. We should not lose heart in face of difficulties. If we work hard, we will find a way out. Or:The author’s story tells me that I should be confident and practice hard overcome difficulties in my life. Or:We should overcome our weaknesses and fears with courage and dertermination. 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者小的时候有学习障碍，但是他不放弃，通过做黏土来表达自己，通过不断练习，使自己学会读书写字。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的句子I had a learning disability from an early age,可知作者学校的日子很难，因为他有学习障碍。故填（His）learning disability. Or: Having a learning disability.Or: That he was learning disabled. Or: He had a learning disability. 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段的句子disabled as I was in language, I could still be smart and well express myself with clay可知艺术给了作者自信因为艺术可以帮助他不用语言表达自己。故填He could be smart and express himself with clay. Or: Art could help him express himself without words. Or: He could well express himself with clay/art. 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的句子I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it was practice.可知作者从爬山学到如果你喜欢做一件事，就一直做，你会更好的。故填If you enjoy something and keep doing it, you will get better at it. Or: The more you practice something, the better at it you will become. Or: Practice makes perfect. Or: Pracitce leads to success. 【54题详解】 句意猜测题。根据文章第四段的句子Every day I practiced reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I was literate.可知,这句话的意思是：我会读书写字。故填I could read and write. 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章的内容和最后一段的句子Having gone through the long process with…，I’ve got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown, hard but interesting.可知，从作者的故事中我们学会，面对失败我们不应该灰心。故填We should not lose heart in face of difficulties. If we work hard, we will find a way out. Or: The author’s story tells me that I should be confident and practice hard overcome difficulties in my life. Or: We should overcome our weaknesses and fears with courage and determination. 第二节：书面表达(满分15分) 56. 假定你是李津，你的英国笔友Chris最近来中国某中学交换学习，他来信告诉你他不知道如何学好中文，请你给他回一封信，内容包括以下要点： 写信的目的; 具体建议：多用中文交流，提高口语和听力水平，大量阅读，增加词汇量，写中文日记，学以致用； 表达个人期待。 注意： 1. 词数100左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 开头和结尾已为你写好。 Dear Chris, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Chris, Learning that you have no idea how to study Chinese well in China as an exchange student here, I am writing to share my suggestions with you.

The Basics(基本原则) One of the best ways to see the Seine is to walk along it, particularly from Les Invalides to Ile Saint-Louis, where you can go across the river on bridges such as Pont Alexandre III, Pont Royal, and Pont des Arts to see some of the most beautiful and best-known buildings in France. Besides, a River Seine trip allows you to rest your legs and enjoy the sights; book a brunch, lunch, or dinner trip to combine your sightseeing with a French meal, or choose the Eiffel Tower to enjoy two of Paris’ most popular activities on one tour. Things to Know Before You Go While you are running through Paris’ main tourist areas, the River Seine is hard to miss; you won’t have to go far to find it. There are more than 30 bridges over the Seine in Paris. You should wear comfortable shoes for walking along the banks and bridges and be prepared for crowds on popular bridges like Pont des Arts. When to Get There For a peaceful walk, head to the river in the early morning hours before most of the crowds and travelers arrive. Or go for an after-dinner walk to take in the scenery of the City of Light on the water. Visiting Canal Saint-Martin In northeast Paris, the Canal Saint-Martin area is a place where you can see footbridges and modern locals instead of the Seine’s traffic and tourists. Enjoy a more relaxing moment. 36. Which of the following can be used to describe the River Seine? A A riverboat provider. B. A good place to swim. C. A dividing line in Paris. D. An ancient sightseeing place. 37. Which is the best line to walk along to see the River Seine according to the author? A. From the Right Bank to the Left Bank. B. From Les Invalides to Ile Saint-Louis. C. From Pont Alexandre Ⅲ to Pont Royal. D. From Pont des Arts to the Eiffel Tower. 38. What can we know about the River Seine from the passage? A. It is too far away to be found. B. Popular bridges over it may be very crowded. C. It is so wide that there are few bridges across it. D. Comfortable clothes should be prepared when you walk over its bank. 39. When does the author suggest visiting the River Seine? A. At midnight. B. At the dinner time. C. The time when there aren’t crowds. D. The time when other travelers arrive. 40. What can we infer from the passage? A. Travelers should bring enough food before visiting the River Seine. B. Travelers can see the Seine’s traffic and tourists in the Canal Saint-Martin area. C. It’s a good choice to visit the Eiffel Tower on another tour after visiting the Seine. D. It’s a good idea to see the Seine and enjoy a French meal at the same time. B McCormick Place in Chicago, the largest convention center (会议中心) in North America, is covered in glass that is enjoyable for humans but deadly for birds. On Oct 5, over 1,000 migrating birds died from colliding with (相撞) its glass walls in a single day. According to data from Cornell University, the number of birds killed there during that one night is roughly equal to the typical yearly bird collision deaths at the building. One key reason for the accident is the glass. During the day, birds fly toward glass as it reflects a perfect image of the sky and nearby trees. As night falls, the bright light from glass buildings attracts birds who fly according to the location of the moon and stars. The recent collision happened on the night of Oct 5, when the lights in the building were on for an event. After colliding with a building, many birds will die on the spot from a broken skull. Others may continue to fly for some distance, but they rarely survive for more than a few hours, as Brendon Samuels, who researches bird window collisions at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, told The Guardian. Every year, nearly one billion birds collide with glass in the US, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service. In China, bird collisions are not uncommon, either. In the autumn of 2022 and spring of 2023, the National Anti-bird Collisions Action Alliance reported a total of 190 cases of bird collisions, which included several types of birds listed as second-class protected wildlife. These tragedies (悲剧) could have been avoided if appropriate (合适的) measures had been taken. Many places around the world have already put forward bird-related guidelines on building design.

C Recently, a Chinese app known as Zao has been going viral (疯传) on the Internet, getting thousands of downloads (下载), mainly because it lets its users put their face over the top of actors in scenes from movies or TV shows. It went to number one on the Chinese iOS App Store list and has been the most-downloaded free app in just a few days after it came out. A Twitter user who is mad about Zao has achieved a little fame by sharing the Zao videos of himself in famous TV and movie scenes online. His videos show that he really looks like the main actor in the movies “The Hulk”,“Titanic”, and in the TV drama “Game of Thrones”, which takes just eight seconds. However, the Zao app is only available for people with a Chinese phone number, which means it cannot be downloaded from app stores in the USA or Europe. The app is based on a new computer technology called deepfake which has spread on the Internet. The word “deepfake” is a combination of “deep learning”, which is an important part of artificial intelligence (AI人工智能) and “fake”, which means not real. The new computer technology is causing people to be worried about more fake news and other things that can mislead them. Deepfake software allows people to replace part of a picture or video with another picture or video. The result is a fake video. The software means you can put your face over the face of a talking president or movie star. This process will make your face speak in the voice of that president or movie star. Many American people are worried that the technology will be used in some important national activities. Other people worry that they might lose their facial recognition data. It is possible that hackers (黑客) could steal this data from app companies and use it to hack into users’ phones and steal their money. 46. What can users do with the help of Zao? A. They can perform in real TV shows. B. They can download movies for free. C. They can put their faces into popular videos. D. They can make themselves look more beautiful. 47. It can be inferred from the passage that_____. A. an online app based on Zao is designed B. Zao achieved success after it came out C. the new app is only available for Twitter users D. it will take a long time to replace actors’ faces with yours 48. What is the weakness of Zao? A. Its high price. B. Its difficult operation. C. Its outdated system. D. Its limitation of users. 49. What do Paragraphs 4 and 5 talk about? A. Why people worry about the new computer technology. B. How to use the new computer technology the right way. C. Why so many people like using deepfake software. D How to stop hackers from using deepfake software. 50. What can we learn from the passage? A. It’s safe to use Zao and other deepfake software. B. The new deepfake app will soon lose most of its users. C. Many users prefer Zao to deepfake because of its price. D. Different people have different opinions about Zao. 第Ⅱ卷(满分25分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career as an educational consultant. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools. My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay(黏土). Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language. I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along. I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it. Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day I practiced reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I was literate. Having gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting. 51.
