This list of unique autumn getaway options offers plenty of fun ways to enjoy beautiful fall leaves, impressive beaches and seasonal festivals with exceptional weather and, in many cases, smaller crowds. Here are the top destinations for a fall weekend away. Gulf Shores, Alabama Alabama’s Gulf Coast is attractive year-round, but the fall months bring fewer crowds and more affordable prices on hotels. Head to Gulf Shores for warm ocean waters and lovely white sand beaches. There’s also plenty to do at this beach destination outside of playing in the sand and surfing. For example, you can set aside a few hours to visit the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo or a downtown music venue and restaurant called The Hangout. Albuquerque, New Mexico Albuquerque’s desert plains and impressive landscapes provide a short break for visitors year-round. However, visiting in fall allows you to enjoy the famous Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, which takes place in October. Book a trip to Albuquerque in early October to see hundreds of brightly colored balloons dot the sky — you can even take a balloon ride yourself with a local tour operator. Sedona, Arizona Red Rock Country is surrounded by more than 1.8 million acres of national forest along with towering cliffs (悬崖) and colorful stone formations. Sedona is perfect if you’re seeking fall destinations for hiking, biking and exploration. Visit beautiful town for outdoor recreation (娱乐) at one of its state parks and shop for local souvenirs at the Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village. Destin, Florida Destin features impressive white sand beaches and a family-friendly atmosphere. The weather is perfect in the fall and the summer crowds are long gone. What’s more, added nonstop routes to Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport from many U.S. airports make Florida more accessible to travelers than ever before. 1. What can you do in Gulf Shores, Alabama? A. Visit the Coast Zoo. B. Enjoy stone formations. C. Shop for local souvenirs. D. Explore the national forest. 2. What is the main attraction of Albuquerque, New Mexico in October? A. The downtown music venue and restaurant. B. The famous Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. C. The beautiful town for outdoor recreation. D. The impressive white sand beaches and perfect weather. 3. Which destination is ideal if you want to do some cycling? A. Gulf Shores, Alabama. B. Albuquerque, New Mexico. C. Sedona, Arizona. D. Destin, Florida. B Now aged 42, Chris is from Werder in northeast Germany, a town deeply rooted in tradition. He wanted to be a designer from an early age. In 2009, while studying at the famous Domus Academy in Milan, he befriended his classmate Zhang Lei. “So when I met Zhang Lei in Milan, we became friends very fast. He taught me a lot about his vision in design and also about his cultural background. This was a very interesting experience for me.” Zhang Lei a native of China's city of Tianjin, furthered his studies in Milan after graduating from Zhejiang University. United by their shared passion for art and design, Chris and Zhang formed a lasting friendship. “Zhang Lei influenced me quite a lot because he taught me about his culture. Before, I was never in touch with Asian culture, so he kind of taught me a lot about Asian and especially Chinese culture. So for me, when I saw the umbrella, it was clearly a traditional Chinese artwork.” Chris experimented with the idea of reshaping structure and form to create a chair by drawing from the technique used to craft umbrella frames, perfected by the paper mache (混凝纸浆) technique. 2012 saw the first public appearance of “Piao”, a paper chair, at the well-known Milan Design Week. It combined extraordinary stability with fine design, securing the top prize at the Salone Satellite of Milan Furniture Fair. “Piao pretty much means floating and lightness, so we used the material paper for our chair, which is a very light and weightless material. Also, the edge of our product keeps it very open and light. So Piao reflects this idea very well.” Piao received global attention because of its material innovation. Its paper is comprised of tough fibers. Using this paper which was originally used for Yuhang oilpaper umbrella canopies (伞面), to create a strong chair was a bold experiment. 4. What led to their long-lasting friendship? A. Their similar personality. B. Their different cultural backgrounds. C. Their love for art and design. D. Their common interesting experiences. 5. How did Chris create “Piao”? A. He combined the technique of making umbrella frames with the paper. B. He drew inspiration from the techniques of making paper. C. He recycled some oil-paper umbrellas for the chair's frame. D. He named the chair after the structure of a Chinese character. 6. Which of the following can best describe Chris? A. Open and humorous. B. Thoughtful and creative. C. Considerate and confident. D. Adventurous and innovative. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. Chris' early life in Werder, Germany. B. The friendship between Chris and Zhang Lei. C. The design process and inspiration behind “Piao”. D. The cultural exchange between Europe and Asia. C I don’t know about you, but I have a deep-seated idea that taking 10,000 steps per day is the mark of an active lifestyle — which means it’s often pretty depressing to check the step tracker on my phone after an average day of writing while seated at my desk. At least, it was depressing until I read the conclusion of a recent research review published in European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. The authors found that taking just 4,000 steps per day (the equivalent of walking around two miles) is enough to significantly reduce your risk of premature death and walking as few as 2,500 steps per day may meaningfully reduce your risk of dying from cardiovascular-disease. That’s based on their analysis of 17 previously published studies on walking and health, which included more than 225,000 adults from multiple countries who were tracked for an average of seven years. The findings are no reason to shorten your daily stroll; walking more is better, the researchers found. They concluded that each additional 1,000 steps per day is linked to a roughly 15% lower risk of dying early from any cause, and they did not find evidence of a point at which additional activity stops being beneficial. So if you were already logging 10,000 steps a day, there’s no need to stop. But if, like me, you often fall short of that benchmark (基准), you can take comfort in the fact that even relatively small amounts of movement seem to measurably benefit health and longevity. That may sound too good to be true for 10,000-step devotees, but a number of recent studies — and the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans — have reached similar conclusions. Some research has shown that mild forms of movement not typically considered exercise, like housework, can have a meaningful impact on overall well-being, while other studies have argued that there are real benefits to getting even a few minutes of physical activity each day. Exercise, it seems, is a powerful tool for improving health — even in encouragingly small doses. 8. What is the author’s standard of an active lifestyle? A. Remaining seated for a long time. B. Writing at the desk. C. Checking the step tracker frequently. D. Taking 10,000 steps a day. 9. How did the author feel after reading the conclusion of the recent research review? A Relieved. B. Depressed. C. Motivated. D. Confused. 10. Those having the habit of walking 10,000 steps a day are advised to ________ A. add 1,000 steps per day B. follow their usual habits C. reduce their walking by 15% D. have some stops during every long walk 11. What does the underlined word “doses” in the last paragraph mean? A. Steps. B. Houses. C. Amounts. D. Studies. D Scientists have reconstructed Pink Floyd's “Another Brick in the Wall” by reading people's brainwaves—the first time a recognisable song has been decoded (解码) from recordings of electrical brain activity. Although members of the same laboratory had previously managed to decode speech—and even silently imagined words from brain recordings ‘in general, all of these reconstruction attempts have had a robotic quality”, said Prof Robert Knight, a neurologist at the University of California in Berkeley, US, who conducted the study with the postdoctoral fellow Ludovic Bellier. “Music, by its very nature, is emotional and has rhythm, stress, accent and intonation. It involves many more things than limited phonemes (音素) in whatever language, which could add another aspect to an implantable speech decoder.” The team analysed brain recordings from 29 patients as they were played a three-minute piece of the Pink Floyd song, taken from the 1979 album The Wall. The volunteers' brain activity was detected by placing electrodes (电极) directly on the surface of their brains as they underwent surgery for epilepsy, a brain disease. Artificial intelligence was then used to decode the recordings and then make a reproduction of the sounds and words. Though unclear, the phrase “All in all, it's just another brick in the wall” comes through recognisably in the reconstructed song—with its musical characteristics. In the future, as brain recording techniques improve, it may also become possible to make such recordings without the need for surgery—perhaps using sensitive electrodes attached to the skin on the top of the head. This finding could be ultimately used to help people with trouble communicating, be it from a brain injury or some kind of disease like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis—the one that Stephen Hawking suffered from. It is expected that the finding may one day help these people better convey what they want to say than they are able to now with even the most cutting-edge assistance. 12. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2? A. The limitation of previous studies. B. The result of the present study. C. Methods adopted in the present study. D. Other researchers with similar interest. 13. What kind of help did artificial intelligence offer in the new finding? A. Conducting the brain surgery. B. Turning the recorded raw data into music. C. Recognizing the musical characteristics of the song. D. Recording the brainwaves of the participants. 14. What can the finding be expected to be eventually used for? A. Helping people avoid potential brain injuries. B. Helping people recover from rare diseases. C. Helping people understand Hawking's theory better. D. Helping people with difficulty in speaking communicate better. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Another Function of AI B. Extracting Music from the Brain C. Good News for Music Lovers D. Recording Your Brainwaves 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 ChatGPT — an AI-powered chatbot that responds to questions in a detailed and natural way — is causing a stir (震动) in the education world. Educators, worried that students might use it for cheating on homework, are trying to ban it completely in schools. ___16___. ___17___. But students have phones, laptops and any number of other ways of accessing it outside of class. (Just for fun, I asked ChatGPT how a student who intended to use the app might avoid a schoolwide ban. It came up with five answers, all totally reasonable.) Some teachers have high hopes for tools such as GPTZero, a program claiming to be able to detect AI-generated writing. ___18___. Besides, it’s easy to fool them by changing a few words, or using a different AI program to paraphrase certain passages. AI chatbots could be programmed to watermark (加水印) their outputs in some way, so teachers would have an easier time spotting AI-generated text. But this, too, is a weak defence. ___19___. But there will be others, and students will soon be able to take their pick, probably including apps with no AI fingerprints. ___20___, do teachers want to spend their nights and weekends keeping up with the latest AI detection software? Several educators I spoke with said that while they found the idea of ChatGPT-assisted cheating annoying, policing it sounded even worse. It seems that the challenge for educators now is to learn how to use ChatGPT thoughtfully as a teaching aid instead of trying to ban it from the classroom. A. But these tools aren’t reliably accurate B. But in my view, their attempts are bound to fail C. That’s the biggest reason not to ban it in schools D. Even if it were technically possible to ban ChatGPT E. Right now, ChatGPT is the only free, easy-to-use chatbot F. Sure, a school can block ChatGPT access on school computers and networks G. Because today’s students will graduate into a world full of generative AI programs 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Craig Paulk, a regular customer at the Long John Silver’s restaurant, had made it a ___21___ to visit it for a quick bite to eat after work. Paulk had his front tooth broken about five years ago. And his partial denture (假牙) was just something he didn’t get ___22___. So, he took it out and usually ___23___ it up in a tissue and set it to the side. On that very day, he found himself in a(n) ___24___ situation when he accidentally threw his partial denture in the ___25___ after his meal. Recognizing the potential $600 cost of his mistake, along with the ___26___ of having to replace the missing denture, Paulk was determined to ___27___ it. Therefore, he ___28___ Stella Magano, an assistant manager of the restaurant and asked if he could have the trash bag to ___29___ his denture himself. ___30___, Magano insisted on taking it upon herself to find Paulk’s personal belongings from the garbage. Without hesitation, she put on gloves, wheeled out the garbage can, and carefully ___31___ through the pile of thrown-away items to ___32___ the missing denture. Paulk expressed his ___33___ to Magano after getting back his denture. For Magano, this small yet heartwarming ___34___ did not go unnoticed. Her selfless act of kindness received ___35___, leading to a “Cash for Kindness” reward organized by local media outlet Fox SA. 21. A. matter B. habit C. recipe D. route 22.

New York-based architect Kate Orff even coined a new word "Oyster-tecture" to describe the use of oyster reefs in in-water architecture, but in China the practice ___37___ (date) back to 1058. The first recorded (and, for that matter, still-standing) example of such is the Luoyang Bridge in the UNESCO World Heritage listed city of Quanzhou, Fujian. The ___38___ (locate) of the Luoyang Bridge famous for its strong winds and changeable water levels, demanded this innovation. Originally, a large boat ___39___ (use) for transport between the two banks, but the poor conditions led to unreliable crossings at best and disastrous accidents at ___40___ (bad). Many later attempts for a long-lasting bridge also failed, because the stone bridge bases broke down easily in such weather and water conditions. Then the high-ranking scholar Cai Xiang came up ___41___ a new concept for the bridge: raising oyster reefs around bridge bases, ___42___ were in the shape of ships. This method strengthen the bases structurally, ___43___ (create) a natural, sustainable (可持续的) defence against the strong storms. Fast-forward nearly a thousand years and some architecture ___44___ (firm) in New York are using oysters in multi-million dollar projects. They may have a novel name in Oyster-tecture, but, ____45____ (essential), it is a reimagining of Cai Xiang's millennia-old method of raising oyster-reefs. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 上周日你校举办了主题为“科技改变生活”的科技节。请你为校英文报写一篇报道，内容包括： 1. 活动时间和地点； 2. 活动内容； 3. 活动反响。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A Day Feeling the Impact of Technology _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 47. 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。 I’ve always thought of my mother Lee-Ann as a superhero because she has a huge heart full of love for anyone. I could write about all of the wonderful things she has done, but I want to focus on the project she does every year that has shaped my whole family and everyone around us: She collects money and puts it in a little jar that we refer to as “The Charity Jar.” Every year, she takes this money and puts it toward something—a cause, an act of kindness, anything that can help someone. Sometimes, she buys coffees for the next people in line at a coffee shop. Other times, she buys something for an organization that needs it. If you ask her about this tradition, she will tell you that she is carrying on something that her mother used to do around the holidays. She manages to get our whole family involved in this movement every year. Last year, she helped an organization where I volunteered—Ruth’s Place—a homeless women’s shelter in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. I had been helping in the shelter when I noticed the wish list on the wall: comforters (被子), a DVD player, a coffee maker and supplies. I told my mom, and within a day she had already asked if our family wanted to help Ruth’s Place. We all agreed and decided that the coffee maker and supplies would be the best things for our family to work on together. A few days later, Mom found a coffee maker online, showed it to us, and with a few clicks it was on its way. We gathered the rest of the supplies and called the shelter to find a day that we could deliver them. On Thanksgiving Day, I drove my mom to the shelter—very slowly because she had baked fresh chocolate cupcakes for the women, and they were sitting on my clean leather seats. She had never been in the shelter before, but the whole way she talked about how excited she was to be able to check off something on their list. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When we took the gifts inside, the women were so happy. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My mother had tears in her eyes as we walked to my car. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1.

He wanted to be a designer from an early age. In 2009, while studying at the famous Domus Academy in Milan, he befriended his classmate Zhang Lei. “So when I met Zhang Lei in Milan, we became friends very fast. He taught me a lot about his vision in design and also about his cultural background. This was a very interesting experience for me.” Zhang Lei a native of China's city of Tianjin, furthered his studies in Milan after graduating from Zhejiang University. United by their shared passion for art and design, Chris and Zhang formed a lasting friendship. “Zhang Lei influenced me quite a lot because he taught me about his culture. Before, I was never in touch with Asian culture, so he kind of taught me a lot about Asian and especially Chinese culture. So for me, when I saw the umbrella, it was clearly a traditional Chinese artwork.” Chris experimented with the idea of reshaping structure and form to create a chair by drawing from the technique used to craft umbrella frames, perfected by the paper mache (混凝纸浆) technique. 2012 saw the first public appearance of “Piao”, a paper chair, at the well-known Milan Design Week. It combined extraordinary stability with fine design, securing the top prize at the Salone Satellite of Milan Furniture Fair. “Piao pretty much means floating and lightness, so we used the material paper for our chair, which is a very light and weightless material. Also, the edge of our product keeps it very open and light. So Piao reflects this idea very well.” Piao received global attention because of its material innovation. Its paper is comprised of tough fibers. Using this paper, which was originally used for Yuhang oilpaper umbrella canopies (伞面), to create a strong chair was a bold experiment. 4. What led to their long-lasting friendship? A. Their similar personality. B. Their different cultural backgrounds. C. Their love for art and design. D. Their common interesting experiences. 5. How did Chris create “Piao”? A. He combined the technique of making umbrella frames with the paper. B. He drew inspiration from the techniques of making paper. C. He recycled some oil-paper umbrellas for the chair's frame. D. He named the chair after the structure of a Chinese character. 6. Which of the following can best describe Chris? A. Open and humorous. B. Thoughtful and creative. C. Considerate and confident. D. Adventurous and innovative. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. Chris' early life in Werder, Germany. B. The friendship between Chris and Zhang Lei. C. The design process and inspiration behind “Piao”. D. The cultural exchange between Europe and Asia. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7.

At least, it was depressing until I read the conclusion of a recent research review published in European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. The authors found that taking just 4,000 steps per day (the equivalent of walking around two miles) is enough to significantly reduce your risk of premature death and walking as few as 2,500 steps per day may meaningfully reduce your risk of dying from cardiovascular-disease. That’s based on their analysis of 17 previously published studies on walking and health, which included more than 225,000 adults from multiple countries who were tracked for an average of seven years. The findings are no reason to shorten your daily stroll; walking more is better, the researchers found. They concluded that each additional 1,000 steps per day is linked to a roughly 15% lower risk of dying early from any cause, and they did not find evidence of a point at which additional activity stops being beneficial. So if you were already logging 10,000 steps a day, there’s no need to stop. But if, like me, you often fall short of that benchmark (基准), you can take comfort in the fact that even relatively small amounts of movement seem to measurably benefit health and longevity. That may sound too good to be true for 10,000-step devotees, but a number of recent studies — and the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans — have reached similar conclusions. Some research has shown that mild forms of movement not typically considered exercise, like housework, can have a meaningful impact on overall well-being, while other studies have argued that there are real benefits to getting even a few minutes of physical activity each day. Exercise, it seems, is a powerful tool for improving health — even in encouragingly small doses. 8. What is the author’s standard of an active lifestyle? A. Remaining seated for a long time. B. Writing at the desk. C. Checking the step tracker frequently. D. Taking 10,000 steps a day. 9. How did the author feel after reading the conclusion of the recent research review? A. Relieved. B. Depressed. C. Motivated. D. Confused. 10. Those having the habit of walking 10,000 steps a day are advised to ________ A. add 1,000 steps per day B. follow their usual habits C. reduce their walking by 15% D. have some stops during every long walk 11. What does the underlined word “doses” in the last paragraph mean? A. Steps. B. Houses. C. Amounts. D. Studies. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了关于日常步行对健康影响的最新研究，特别是每日步数与死亡率和心血管疾病风险之间的关系。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I don’t know about you, but I have a deep-seated idea that taking 10,000 steps per day is the mark of an active lifestyle—which means it’s often pretty depressing to check the step tracker on my phone after an average day of writing while seated at my desk.(我不知道你是怎么想的，但我有一个根深蒂固的想法，那就是每天走一万步是积极生活方式的标志——这意味着在坐在办公桌前写完一天的文章后，查看手机上的步数追踪器通常会让我很沮丧。)”可知，作者认为每天走10,000步是积极生活方式的标志。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“At least, it was depressing until I read the conclusion of a recent research review published in European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. The authors found that taking just 4,000 steps per day (the equivalent of walking around two miles) is enough to significantly reduce your risk of premature death and walking as few as 2,500 steps per day may meaningfully reduce your risk of dying from cardiovascular-disease.(至少，直到我读到最近发表在《欧洲预防心脏病学杂志》(European Journal of Preventive Cardiology)上的一篇研究综述的结论，我都感到沮丧。研究人员发现，每天走4000步(相当于步行约两英里)就足以显著降低过早死亡的风险，每天走2500步就可以显著降低死于心血管疾病的风险。)”以及文章第四段“But if, like me, you often fall short of that benchmark (基准), you can take comfort in the fact that even relatively small amounts of movement seem to measurably benefit health and longevity.(但是，如果你像我一样，经常达不到这个标准，你可以放心，即使是相对少量的运动似乎也能明显地有益于健康和长寿。)”可推测，可以看出，作者在看到研究综述的结论之前是沮丧的，但之后情况有所改变。接下来，文章描述了研究综述的结论，即每天走4,000步就足以显著降低早逝的风险，而每天走2,500步也可能有意义地降低死于心血管疾病的风险。这暗示了作者看完结论后感到欣慰或轻松。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The findings are no reason to shorten your daily stroll; walking more is better, the researchers found. They concluded that each additional 1,000 steps per day is linked to a roughly 15% lower risk of dying early from any cause, and they did not find evidence of a point at which additional activity stops being beneficial. So if you were already logging 10,000 steps a day, there’s no need to stop.(这些发现并不是缩短每天散步时间的理由；研究人员发现，走路越多越好。他们得出的结论是，每天多走1000步，任何原因导致的早死风险都会降低约15%，而且他们没有发现任何证据表明，多走1000步就会停止有益的活动。所以，如果你已经每天记录一万步，那就没有必要停下来了。)”可知，研究人员发现走更多的步数是有益的，但他们也指出，如果已经每天走10,000步，则没有必要停止。这暗示着已经每天走10,000步的人可以保持他们的习惯，不需要进一步增加步数。故选B。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Some research has shown that mild forms of movement not typically considered exercise, like housework, can have a meaningful impact on overall well-being, while other studies have argued that there are real benefits to getting even a few minutes of physical activity each day.(一些研究表明，通常不被认为是锻炼的温和运动形式，比如家务，可以对整体健康产生有意义的影响，而其他研究则认为，每天哪怕只进行几分钟的体育活动，也会带来真正的好处。)”可知，上文讲述的是锻炼或者活动，不管多少，都会有好处。再结合划线单词上文“Exercise, it seems, is a powerful tool for improving health(运动似乎是改善健康的有力工具)”可推测，划线单词的意思和“数量”相似，指的是不管数量多小，运动似乎都是改善健康的有力工具。选项A“Steps (步伐)”；选项B“Houses (房子)”；选项C“Amounts (数量)”；选项D“Studies (研究)”。故选C。 D Scientists have reconstructed Pink Floyd's “Another Brick in the Wall” by reading people's brainwaves—the first time a recognisable song has been decoded (解码) from recordings of electrical brain activity. Although members of the same laboratory had previously managed to decode speech—and even silently imagined words from brain recordings, ‘in general, all of these reconstruction attempts have had a robotic quality”, said Prof Robert Knight, a neurologist at the University of California in Berkeley, US, who conducted the study with the postdoctoral fellow Ludovic Bellier. “Music, by its very nature, is emotional and has rhythm, stress, accent and intonation. It involves many more things than limited phonemes (音素) in whatever language, which could add another aspect to an implantable speech decoder.” The team analysed brain recordings from 29 patients as they were played a three-minute piece of the Pink Floyd song, taken from the 1979 album The Wall. The volunteers' brain activity was detected by placing electrodes (电极) directly on the surface of their brains as they underwent surgery for epilepsy, a brain disease. Artificial intelligence was then used to decode the recordings and then make a reproduction of the sounds and words. Though unclear, the phrase “All in all, it's just another brick in the wall” comes through recognisably in the reconstructed song—with its musical characteristics. In the future, as brain recording techniques improve, it may also become possible to make such recordings without the need for surgery—perhaps using sensitive electrodes attached to the skin on the top of the head. This finding could be ultimately used to help people with trouble communicating, be it from a brain injury or some kind of disease like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis—the one that Stephen Hawking suffered from. It is expected that the finding may one day help these people better convey what they want to say than they are able to now with even the most cutting-edge assistance. 12. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2? A. The limitation of previous studies. B. The result of the present study. C. Methods adopted in the present study. D. Other researchers with similar interest. 13. What kind of help did artificial intelligence offer in the new finding? A. Conducting the brain surgery. B. Turning the recorded raw data into music. C. Recognizing the musical characteristics of the song. D. Recording the brainwaves of the participants. 14. What can the finding be expected to be eventually used for? A. Helping people avoid potential brain injuries. B. Helping people recover from rare diseases. C. Helping people understand Hawking's theory better. D. Helping people with difficulty in speaking communicate better. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Another Function of AI B. Extracting Music from the Brain C. Good News for Music Lovers D. Recording Your Brainwaves 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现，科学家通过读取人脑电波的方式重构了Pink Floyd乐队的《Another Brick in the Wall》这首歌，这是首次从大脑电活动记录中解码出可识别的歌曲。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Although members of the same laboratory had previously managed to decode speech—and even silently imagined words from brain recordings, ‘in general, all of these reconstruction attempts have had a robotic quality”, said Prof Robert Knight, a neurologist at the University of California in Berkeley, US, who conducted the study with the postdoctoral fellow Ludovic Bellier.(美国加州大学伯克利分校的神经学家Robert Knight教授与博士后Ludovic Bellier共同进行了这项研究，他说，尽管同一实验室的成员此前曾成功解码语音，甚至默默地从大脑记录中想象出单词，但“总的来说，所有这些重建尝试都带有机器人的性质”。)”可知，该段主要描述了之前实验室成员虽然能够解码语言甚至大脑记录中静默想象的词汇，但这些重构尝试通常都带有“机械”性质，即存在局限性。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Artificial intelligence was then used to decode the recordings and then make a reproduction of the sounds and words. Though unclear, the phrase “All in all, it's just another brick in the wall” comes through recognisably in the reconstructed song—with its musical characteristics.(然后使用人工智能来解码录音，然后复制声音和单词。虽然不太清楚，但“All in All, it's just another brick in the wall”这句话在这首重新改编的歌曲中清晰地出现了——带有它的音乐特征。)”可知，人工智能不仅解码了脑电波，还将其转化为了具有音乐特征的歌曲片段。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“This finding could be ultimately used to help people with trouble communicating, be it from a brain injury or some kind of disease like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis—the one that Stephen Hawking suffered from. It is expected that the finding may one day help these people better convey what they want to say than they are able to now with even the most cutting-edge assistance.(这一发现最终可以用来帮助那些有沟通障碍的人，无论是脑损伤还是某种疾病，比如斯蒂芬·霍金所患的肌萎缩侧索硬化症。预计有一天，这一发现可能会帮助这些人更好地表达他们想说的话，而不是现在使用最先进的辅助手段。)”可知，这一发现最终可能用于帮助有交流困难的人，无论这种困难是由脑部损伤还是如肌萎缩侧索硬化症等疾病引起的。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Scientists have reconstructed Pink Floyd's “Another Brick in the Wall” by reading people's brainwaves—the first time a recognisable song has been decoded (解码) from recordings of electrical brain activity.(科学家们通过解读人们的脑电波重现了Pink Floyd的《Another Brick in the Wall》——这是第一次从脑电活动记录中解码出一首可识别的歌曲。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了，科学家通过读取人脑电波的方式重构了Pink Floyd乐队的《Another Brick in the Wall》这首歌，这是首次从大脑电活动记录中解码出可识别的歌曲。文本主要围绕这一发现进行描述，并提到了其可能的应用前景。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 ChatGPT — an AI-powered chatbot that responds to questions in a detailed and natural way — is causing a stir (震动) in the education world. Educators, worried that students might use it for cheating on homework, are trying to ban it completely in schools. ___16___. ___17___. But students have phones, laptops and any number of other ways of accessing it outside of class. (Just for fun, I asked ChatGPT how a student who intended to use the app might avoid a schoolwide ban. It came up with five answers, all totally reasonable.) Some teachers have high hopes for tools such as GPTZero, a program claiming to be able to detect AI-generated writing. ___18___. Besides, it’s easy to fool them by changing a few words, or using a different AI program to paraphrase certain passages. AI chatbots could be programmed to watermark (加水印) their outputs in some way, so teachers would have an easier time spotting AI-generated text. But this, too, is a weak defence. ___19___. But there will be others, and students will soon be able to take their pick, probably including apps with no AI fingerprints. ___20___, do teachers want to spend their nights and weekends keeping up with the latest AI detection software? Several educators I spoke with said that while they found the idea of ChatGPT-assisted cheating annoying, policing it sounded even worse. It seems that the challenge for educators now is to learn how to use ChatGPT thoughtfully as a teaching aid instead of trying to ban it from the classroom. A. But these tools aren’t reliably accurate B. But in my view, their attempts are bound to fail C. That’s the biggest reason not to ban it in schools D. Even if it were technically possible to ban ChatGPT E. Right now, ChatGPT is the only free, easy-to-use chatbot F. Sure, a school can block ChatGPT access on school computers and networks G.

I could write about all of the wonderful things she has done, but I want to focus on the project she does every year that has shaped my whole family and everyone around us: She collects money and puts it in a little jar that we refer to as “The Charity Jar.” Every year, she takes this money and puts it toward something—a cause, an act of kindness, anything that can help someone. Sometimes, she buys coffees for the next people in line at a coffee shop. Other times, she buys something for an organization that needs it. If you ask her about this tradition, she will tell you that she is carrying on something that her mother used to do around the holidays. She manages to get our whole family involved in this movement every year. Last year, she helped an organization where I volunteered—Ruth’s Place—a homeless women’s shelter in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. I had been helping in the shelter when I noticed the wish list on the wall: comforters (被子), a DVD player, a coffee maker and supplies. I told my mom, and within a day she had already asked if our family wanted to help Ruth’s Place. We all agreed and decided that the coffee maker and supplies would be the best things for our family to work on together. A few days later, Mom found a coffee maker online, showed it to us, and with a few clicks it was on its way. We gathered the rest of the supplies and called the shelter to find a day that we could deliver them. On Thanksgiving Day, I drove my mom to the shelter—very slowly because she had baked fresh chocolate cupcakes for the women, and they were sitting on my clean leather seats. She had never been in the shelter before, but the whole way she talked about how excited she was to be able to check off something on their list. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When we took the gifts inside the women were so happy. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My mother had tears in her eyes as we walked to my car. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: When we took the gifts inside, the women were so happy. My mother was bright-eyed, carrying chocolate cupcakes into a shelter full of women she did not know. She stood by the front desk, thanking women for their praise on her baking and talking to the volunteers as I filled out the donation sheet. All the smiling faces lit up the shelter full of sweet smell of chocolate. As we left, we wished the women “Happy Thanksgiving,” and we were met with a chorus of “Happy Thanksgivings” and “Thank You.” My mother had tears in her eyes as we walked to my car. I did not have to ask why; I knew that she did not cry out of pity. She did not cry out of sorrow. She cried because she was thankful to have the opportunity to help someone in need with her whole family. I am thankful for my mother and the lessons she has shown me in love and kindness. I can say with certainty that I am not the only one whom she has made a better person. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者母亲通过慈善项目帮助他人的善举，以及感恩节时她如何与家人一起为无家可归的妇女提供援助，展现了母亲的爱心和善良。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我们把礼物拿进去的时候，女人们非常高兴。”以及第二段首句内容“当我们走向我的车时，母亲眼里含着泪水。”可知，第一段可描写收容所的人们非常感激母亲。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我们走向我的车时，母亲眼里含着泪水。”可知，第二段可描写母亲为这一切感到开心，也希望自己能够帮助更多的人。 2.续写线索：作者的母亲总是坚持做善事——她说这一切都是受到了自己母亲的影响——作者在感恩节那天送母亲去收容所——作者的母亲不仅为收容所购买了愿望清单上的物品，还亲自烘焙了蛋糕——收容所的人看到这些非常感动，都在感谢母亲——回家时，母亲眼含泪水，她希望自己能够帮助更多的人 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①认识：be acquainted with/know ②充满了：full of/filled with ③离开：leave/set off 情绪类 ①感激的：thankful/grateful ②悲伤：sorrow/sadness 【点睛】【高分句型1】My mother was bright-eyed, carrying chocolate cupcakes into a shelter full of women she did not know.（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句） 【高分句型2】She stood by the front desk, thanking women for their praise on her baking and talking to the volunteers as I filled out the donation sheet.（运用了as引导的状语从句） 听力1.
