B I remember that it was a fall morning when the orchestra(管弦乐队) teachers came into Miss Newell's third-grade classroom. “You have hands for the viola(中提琴),”Miss Ciano told me. I was excited because my hands were finally good for something. I told my parents I wanted to play, and naturally, they agreed. Since I first touched the viola, I haven't been able to put it down. Ignoring the difficulty, I am pulled closer to it each day. Classical music is truly my best friend. It is the trusted friend of every man, woman and child. Various feelings are expressed in classical music. I discovered that when I was eleven and played a cello concerto (大提琴协奏曲) of Bach in a competition, the first movement was joyful, but the second movement was mysterious and full of pain. From the piece, I learned that music expresses not only feelings, but also sudden mood changes. By listening to classical music, I know that someone else shares these feelings. Since I am lucky enough to be able to play classical music, I am comforted by it when I am upset. It gives me a way to escape from my problems for a short period. Classical music can express my joy, sadness and anger. Now look back at that fall day in the third grade and think how gullible I was for believing that anyone, even music teachers, could tell whether hands were perfect for a certain instrument. I'm certain they told me I had“ viola hands” not because they were fortune-tellers(算命师), but because there was a lack of violists in our district. Classical music is one of the best things that ever happened to mankind. If you get introduced to it in the right way, it will become your friend for life. 24. What's the author's purpose in writing the first and second paragraphs? A. To introduce an interesting musical class. B. To offer the evidence of her gift for music. C. To show the importance of proper guide. D. To tell the power of support from parents. 25. According to the passage, in what way does classical music help the author? A. By developing social skills. B. By improving mental health. C. By broadening life experience. D. By building close relationship. 26. What does the underlined word “gullible” mean in the last paragraph? A. Easily tricked. B. Firmly loved. C. Greatly challenged. D. Secretly hidden. 27. Which could be the best title for the passage? A. Special event, sweet memory. B. Classical music, endless friendship C. Lifetime dream, great effort. D. Happy childhood, unforgotten experience. C Researchers at the University of Kansas say that it's easy for people to judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes. “Shoes contain useful information about their wearers,” the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality. Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someone's shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire. Some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people. However, some other results are strange enough. For example, “practical and functional” shoes were generally worn by more “pleasant” people, while ankle boots were more connected with “aggressive” personalities. The strangest of all may be that those who wore “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities. And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take very good care of them, you may suffer from “attachment anxiety”, which means you are likely to spend lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance. There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal(主张变革的) types wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes. The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities, but researchers noted that volunteers didn't fully realize that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities. 28. What does this text mainly tell us? A. Shoes can hide people's real personalities. B. Shoes contain false information about the wearer. C. People's personalities can be judged by their shoes. D. People know little about others' personalities. 29. Which of the results is beyond people's expectation? A. Wealthy people often wear expensive shoes. B. Pleasant people are likely to wear ankle boots. C. Flashier shoes are typically worn by outgoing people. D. Calm people like wearing uncomfortable looking shoes. 30. People suffering from “attachment anxiety” tend to . A. wear strange shoes B. worry about their appearance C. have a calm character D. become a political leader 31. The author wrote the text in order to . A. inform us of a new study B. introduce a research method C. teach how to choose shoes D. describe different personalities D Artificial intelligence models can trick each other into disobeying their creators and providing banned instructions for making drugs, or even building a bomb, suggesting that preventing such AI “jailbreaks” is more difficult than it seems. Many publicly available large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, have hard-coded rules that aim to prevent them from exhibiting racial or sexual discrimination, or answering questions with illegal or problematic answers— things they have learned from humans via training data. But that hasn't stopped people from finding carefully designed instructions that block these protections, known as “jailbreaks”, making AI models disobey the rules. Now, Arush Tagade at Leap Laboratories and his co-workers have found a process of jailbreaks. They found that they could simply instruct one LLM to convince other models to adopt a persona(角色), which is able to answer questions the base model has been programmed to refuse. This process is called “persona modulation”. Tagade says this approach works because much of the training data consumed by large models comes from online conversations, and the models learn to act in certain ways in response to different inputs. By having the right conversation with a model, it is possible to make it adopt a particular persona, causing it to act differently. There is also an idea in AI circles, one yet to be proven, that creating lots of rules for an AI to prevent it displaying unwanted behaviour can accidentally create a blueprint for a model to act that way. This potentially leaves the AI easy to be tricked into taking on an evil persona. “If you’re forcing your model to be good persona, it somewhat understands what a bad persona is,” says Tagade. Yinzhen Li at Imperial College London says it is worrying how current models can be misused, but developers need to weigh such risks with the potential benefits of LLMs. “Like drugs, they also have side effects that need to be controlled,” she says. 32. What does the AI jailbreak refer to? A. The technique to break restrictions of AI models. B. The initiative to set hard-coded rules for AI models. C. The capability of AI models improving themselves. D. The process of AI models learning new information. 33. What can we know about the persona modulation? A. It can help AI models understand emotions. B. It prevents AI learning via online conversations. C. It can make AI models adopt a particular persona. D. It forces AI models to follow only good personas. 34. What is Yinzhen Li's attitude towards LLMs? A. Unclear. B. Cautious. C. Approving. D. Negative. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. LLMs: Illegal Learning Models B. LLMs: The Latest Advancement C. AI Jailbreaks: A New Challenge D. AI Jailbreaks: A Perfect Approach 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Politely Cancel Plans Over Text You made plans with friends, but when it's time to leave the house, you just don't have the energy. Or, maybe something else comes up, and you can't make it. 36 But with a few tips, you can do it politely. ◆Text them as soon as possible. That way, your friends can rearrange their schedules. If you know you cannot make it, try to text a day ahead of time. Otherwise, your friends might be annoyed about the inconvenience. If there's an emergency and you have to cancel the plan at the last minute, that's fine. 37 Be honest about your situation. 38 If you've encountered a change in your schedule, just tell them what it is. Your friends will be more understanding if they can tell you're telling the truth. Just say things like: “Iran into an issue at work.” or “I'm dealing with some family problems.” ◆Ask if you can reschedule. Instead of saying “Let's hang out soon!”, pick a new time, so your friends know that you're serious. 39 Try to include this in your original message so they know what you're doing right away, and make sure it's a plan you can stick to so you don't have to cancel again. ◆ 40 Add in one more nice thing to make a compliment(赞美) sandwich. After you tell your friends you have to cancel and apologize, let them know how much you appreciate them making plans with you. This will reassure them that you love spending time with them, and it can even help you feel less guilty, too. A. Start with your appreciation. B. Thank them for inviting you out. C. Let them know how terrible the situation is. D. There's no need to lie about what's going on. E. It shows that you aren't just blowing them off. F. Otherwise, you should try to cancel ahead of time.

Whatever the case is, cancelling plans can be annoying. 第三部分 语言知识运用(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，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One day, I was standing on the boat when a very large female leopard seal swam by.

It was another boring day after school. I dragged my feet home as I sighed. Yet another uneventful day, I thought. Little did I know that the day would take a turn for the worse. The lift lobby(电梯间) of my flat was old and dirty. The walls, which were painted white, had been dirtied over many years. I reached my flat's lobby, and pressed the lift button and went in. Just then, Mrs. Lim, my elderly neighbor, hobbled(蹒跚) in. She looked ancient with tissue paper white hair, wearing a faded old-fashioned dress. I held the lift door open, flashing a friendly smile, and politely greeted her. I asked her how she felt that day and pressed the buttons. She thanked me for being so polite, then we were silent for the rest of the ride. The lift fell down increasingly fast. There were loud clanking sounds here and there while the lift grew slower and slower. My heart beat hard and fast as my hands turned cold and wet with sweat. Unfortunately, the lift came to an abrupt stop at the fifth floor. I pressed the buttons hard several times, but it was of no help. The lights on the buttons had gone out. It soon dawned on me that we were trapped. An icy fear crept up my spine. Mrs. Lim was hysterical (歇斯底里). “We will never get out!” she cried with her face pale. It had become a colorless mask. I had no time to lose. I pressed the bell in the lift immediately. The sound was surely deafening, but what other choice did I have? Mrs. Lim burst into tears. I tried my very best to comfort her, telling her that everything would be all right and that we needed to find out how to get out safely. Mrs. Lim began having trouble breathing, and I immediately helped her sit down and loosened her collar. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Several minutes passed, but no help came. Bang!

Leading 作文 Dear David, Having reviewed your initial draft for the poster design competition on “Protecting Wildlife”, I'm writing to offer some suggestions for improvement. Your design seems to lack a message that can motivate people to take action. Additionally, the quality of the images and the cluttered layout need to be improved. Therefore, I suggest you use a concise and convincing message and high-quality images relevant to the theme. Meanwhile, you'd better simplify the layout by removing some unnecessary elements that distract attention from the message. I hope my feedback is helpful. Best of luck with your design. Yours, Li Hua 读后续写 Several minutes passed, but no help came. Despite my mounting fear, I gathered my composure and had a shot at the emergency phone, praying someone would pick up. Unfortunately, after my several attempts there came nothing but dead silence on the other end of the line. Just then, it was getting hot and stuffy. Mrs. Lim was seized by a wave of panic attack, stumbling and mumbling. I gave her a gentle pat on the back and signaled her to lean against the corner. Bearing a last glimmer of hope, I started banging on the door and screamed my lungs out．（94词） Bang! My hopes were lifted when I heard the firefighters on the other side of the lift door. The knights in shining armor came to our rescue! The second they cracked open the door, I felt a massive weight off my shoulder. One of them bravely slid down to lend us a hand, while the rest were ready to pull us out with ropes. It didn’t take long before we were lifted out of the predicament. Mrs. Lim, tears all over her face, kept thanking me and the firefighters. Truth to be told, I had never felt so alive! It suddenly dawned on me that I should never take my blessed uneventful life for granted and I must cherish what I have with a grateful heart． （107词） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
