A GPA, or Grade Point Average, typically ranging from one to four, is a number reflecting your course performance on average. It’s used by universities to determine whether students meet academic standards and by students to enhance job prospects or secure admission into post-graduate programs. How to calculate a GPA? ● Determine the letter grade and the number of credit hours for each course you take in a term; ● Translate the letter grade to grade points using your school’s grading system; ● Multiply the grade points by the credit hours for that course; ● Add up all the credit hours for the courses; ● Divide the total number of grade points by the total credit hours and you get the GPA. Example: Academic Transcript of Jane Smith Winter 2023 Courses Letter Grade Grade points Credit hours Total points GPA Creative Writing A+ 4.0 3 12 - Psychology A- 3.7 3 11.1 - History B+ 3.3 3 9.9 - Computer Science F 0.0 2 0 - Total - - 11 33 What are the consequences of failing college courses? ● Every failing grade (F) significantly impacts your GPA for that academic year limiting clubs, organizations and program choices, as competitive programs require top GPAs. ● Most financial aid programs require a specific GPA. A sharp drop in GPA due to several course failures may lead to withdrawal from financial aid programs, unless you retake the courses and pass. ● For college athletes on sports scholarships, failing courses repeatedly can lead to losing scholarships and team sports. ● Failing multiple courses can result in school removal and affect future applications. 1. Where is this text probably taken from? A. An academic course guide. B. A campus job fair poster. C. A graduate application form. D. An athletic team schedule. 2. What is Jane Smith’s GPA this term? A. 3.3. B. 3.0. C. 2.8. D. 1.0. 3. What would be a result if you get one F in college? A. School removal. B. Loss of financial aid. C. Choice limitation. D. Disqualification in sports. B Chaudhary weaves (编织) together lengths of rope and grass collected from the nearby riverbank in her village, skillfully shaping the materials into a gift box while instructing a group of women to follow suit. The ropes being used were once the lifeline for mountain climbers tackling Nepal’s mountains and were then cast away. Diverse measures to remove such discarded materials have rocketed since 2019, when the government launched Clean Mountain Campaign.Around 140,000 tons of waste were collected on Mt. Everest alone, which were handled accordingly, either securely buried or recycled. Some waste is now finding fresh life, transformed by skilled hands like Chaudhary’s into items to sell, thanks to an initiative led by Acharya, an owner of a waste processing business and an advocate for sustainable waste management. She has been working with the cleaning campaign, aiming at mountains like Mt. Everest. “Metal waste goes through the recycling process, but we weren’t capable of recycling these ropes and cooking gas cans,” Acharya says. It didn’t occur to her that the waste which couldn’t be recycled could be reused until she met Rai at an art exhibition and a solution emerged. Rai, a businessman dealing in craftworks, helped connect Acharya with Chaudhary and her team of craftswomen in hopes of unlocking the economic value of the mountain waste. With flexible hours, the project gives the craftswomen an opportunity to earn money even as they maintain their household responsibilities. “While this seems insignificant compared to waste in the mountains, it’s a start. We can’t supply sufficient raw material with waste sorting and cleaning processes taking plenty of time and money,” Acharya says, desperate to expand the program to involve more women and treat more waste. But progress has been slow. “We need investment to mechanize the cleaning and processing of waste in the initial phase to provide the crafting team with enough materials to meet their demand,” she adds. 4. What were the ropes mentioned in paragraph 2 initially intended as? A. Tools for tying up weeds. B. Villagers’ basic necessities of life. C. Raw materials tor unique artworks. D. Life-saving devices for mountaineers. 5. What inspired Acharya’s resolution of non-recyclable waste? A. A journey to the rural area. B. An encounter with a trader. C. Information from a product launch. D. Attendance at an academic conference. 6. What does Acharya expect to do based on the last paragraph? A. Train more senior technicians. B. Obtain a better reputation. C. Drop waste washing procedures. D. Bring in advanced equipment. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Chaudhary: An Eco-Minded Folk Artist B. Nepali Women Are Turning Garbage into Crafts C. Clean Mountain Campaign Has Already Taken Effect D. A Headache: Mt. Everest Is Heavily Littered with Waste C Quiet Parks International (QPI) have got every reason to award Quiet Trail to the Niobrara National Scenic River this year, making it the other Quiet Trail in the world after Cuifeng Lake Trail, Taiwan. Kalli Kieborz, Director of Niobrara Council, received the award for their assistance in managing and protecting its natural resources, including natural quiet, since 1997. This Award concluded a two-year process that included exploring the full length of the river to collect qualitative and quantitative acoustic (听觉的) data. Gordon Hempton, cofounder of QPI, stated, “Our testing process is very exact. Beyond collecting standard acoustic data, each team member must agree unhesitatingly that natural quiet existed throughout the testing period. The river’s splendid geologic landscape, unusual atmospheric conditions and outstanding wildlife all contributed to a positive outcome.” The Niobrara River is notable for its beauty, ecological importance, and recreational appeal in the northern Great Plains, U.S.. Six major ecosystems meet in the Niobrara National Scenic River valley, resulting in a special mix of more than 160 plant and animal species. “It is filled with unique, even one-of-a-kind opportunities for the curious and adventurous visitors,” said John Ricks, Nebraska Tourism director. “97% of the U.S. population faces noise pollution from sources like flights and highways. In fact the more quiet we have, the more we can see and hear about the world, so we are thrilled to be able to offer it at Niobrara National Scenic River. From a quiet starry night to peaceful natural escapes, it uncovers what cannot be enjoyed in many other places,” stated Susan Cook, another director. Areas like the Niobrara National Scenic River offer an opportunity to showcase quiet, unspoiled areas in a noisy world. Today, as people’s life is overloaded with noise, the intentional seeking-out of quiet areas is on the rise and with it, the opportunity to engage new travelers in visiting the beautiful, yet still largely hidden treasure of the wild. 8. Which of the following best describes the testing process? A. Flexible. B. Reliable. C. Simple. D. Loose. 9. What is a consequence of ecosystems meeting in the valley? A. Ecology imbalance. B. Biodiversity enrichment. C. Species competition. D. Tourism boost. 10. What does Susan Cook highlight in paragraph 4? A. The joy of winning the award. B. The outcome of noise pollution. C. The activities of enjoying quiet. D. The value of natural quiet. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To call on efforts to reconnect with nature. B. To inform the recognition of a quiet river. C To display the challenges of protecting ecosystem. D. To stress the need to escape busyness of modern life. D One day I typed into ChatGPT all about my upset feelings and it instantly responded, offering a list of practical advice. Nowadays millions of people are already turning to ChatGPT and specialist therapy (治疗) chatbots for convenient and inexpensive mental health support. Some experts say this is a boon. After all, AI, undisturbed by embarrassment and burnout, might be able to express empathy (同理心) more openly and tirelessly than humans. But others worry about the consequences of people seeking emotional support from machines that can only pretend to care. Some even wonder if the rise of so-called empathetic AI might change the way we interact with one another. Indeed, empathy is one of our species’ defining qualities, developing as it did in pace with social interaction. One recent analysis about empathy looked at 52 studies published between 1980 and 2019, which shows that the empathiser must first be able to recognize how the other person is feeling. They must also be affected by those emotions and differentiate between themselves and the other person, grasping that the other person’s feelings aren’t their own while still being able to imagine their experience. On the first point, in recent years, AI-powered chatbots have made progress in their ability to read human emotions, most powered by large language models (LLMs) that work by predicting which words are most likely to appear together based on training data. In this way, LLMs like ChatGPT can seemingly identify our feelings and respond appropriately most of the time. But when it comes to the other criteria, AI still misses the mark in many ways. Empathy is interpersonal, with continued feedback helping to perfect the empathiser’s response, which also requires some degree of intuitive (直觉的) awareness of an individual and their situation. All of this helps to explain conversations like the ones I had with ChatGPT. At the end of the day, despite talking to multiple chatbots online, I did what I knew I had to do all along: I picked up my phone and called a friend. 12. What does the underlined word “boon” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Trap. B. Prize. C. Blessing. D. Challenge. 13 What does the recent analysis show about empathy? A. It calls for clear communication. B. It starts with emotion identification. C. It rules out individual difference. D. It depends on rich imagination. 14. What can AI do according to paragraph 4? A. Provide data-driven feedback. B. Recognize one’s real desire. C. Update large language models. D. Predict one’s behavior by intuition. 15. What does the author think of ChatGPT? A. Its development should be sped up. B. Its intelligence is winning more favor. C. Its application should be strictly managed. D. Its artificial kindness is no match for humans’. 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。 Having dragged everything I owned halfway across the country, I reached my university a complete fresher. ____16____ Noisy and busy, it felt somewhat overwhelming.

He saw plastic bottles, old clothing, and empty food packages. The water looked dark and ugly. At school, Rhenan asked about the dirty river. “You wouldn’t want trash in your house,” said his teacher. “Think about the poor animals!” For days, Rhenan couldn’t stop thinking about the river. It didn’t seem right to him that this big, powerful river was filled with trash. “It’s hurting the animals in my area,” he thought. “And it’s also hurting the families who live here.” Then Rhenan had an idea.

Some even wonder if the rise of so-called empathetic AI might change the way we interact with one another. Indeed, empathy is one of our species’ defining qualities, developing as it did in pace with social interaction. One recent analysis about empathy looked at 52 studies published between 1980 and 2019, which shows that the empathiser must first be able to recognize how the other person is feeling. They must also be affected by those emotions and differentiate between themselves and the other person, grasping that the other person’s feelings aren’t their own while still being able to imagine their experience. On the first point, in recent years, AI-powered chatbots have made progress in their ability to read human emotions, most powered by large language models (LLMs) that work by predicting which words are most likely to appear together based on training data. In this way, LLMs like ChatGPT can seemingly identify our feelings and respond appropriately most of the time. But when it comes to the other criteria, AI still misses the mark in many ways. Empathy is interpersonal, with continued feedback helping to perfect the empathiser’s response, which also requires some degree of intuitive (直觉的) awareness of an individual and their situation. All of this helps to explain conversations like the ones I had with ChatGPT. At the end of the day, despite talking to multiple chatbots online, I did what I knew I had to do all along: I picked up my phone and called a friend. 12. What does the underlined word “boon” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Trap. B. Prize. C. Blessing. D. Challenge. 13. What does the recent analysis show about empathy? A. It calls for clear communication. B. It starts with emotion identification. C. It rules out individual difference. D. It depends on rich imagination. 14. What can AI do according to paragraph 4? A. Provide data-driven feedback. B. Recognize one’s real desire. C. Update large language models. D. Predict one’s behavior by intuition. 15. What does the author think of ChatGPT? A. Its development should be sped up. B. Its intelligence is winning more favor. C Its application should be strictly managed. D. Its artificial kindness is no match for humans’. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了AI聊天机器人在提供心理支持方面的利弊，以及与人类真正同理心的差距。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段的“After all, AI, undisturbed by embarrassment and burnout, might be able to express empathy (同理心) more openly and tirelessly than humans.(毕竟，人工智能不受尴尬和倦怠的影响，可能比人类更公开、更不知疲倦地表达同理心)”可知，这里提到人工智能因为不受尴尬和疲惫的影响，可能在表达同理心上比人类更开放、不知疲倦，因此对于某些专家来说，这是人工智能在心理健康支持方面的优势，是一种好事。所以boon在这里意为“好事，益处”。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“One recent analysis about empathy looked at 52 studies published between 1980 and 2019, which shows that the empathiser must first be able to recognize how the other person is feeling.(最近一项关于移情的分析对1980年至2019年间发表的52项研究进行了研究，结果表明，移情者必须首先能够识别对方的感受)”可知，关于同理心的最近分析表明，同理心的首要条件是能够识别另一个人的感受。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“On the first point, in recent years, Al-powered chatbots have made progress in their ability to read human emotions, most powered by large language models (LLMs) that work by predicting which words are most likely to appear together based on training data. In this way, LLMs like ChatGPT can seemingly identify our feelings and respond appropriately most of the time.(关于第一点，近年来，Al驱动的聊天机器人在读取人类情绪的能力方面取得了进展，最有力的是大型语言模型（LLM），该模型通过根据训练数据预测哪些单词最有可能出现在一起。这样，像ChatGPT这样的LLM似乎可以识别我们的感受，并在大多数时候做出适当的反应)”可知，人工智能如ChatGPT能够识别我们的情感并做出适当的反应，这是基于大量语言模型对数据的预测能力，即能够提供数据驱动的反馈。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“But when it comes to the other criteria, AI still misses the mark in many ways. Empathy is interpersonal, with continued feedback helping to perfect the empathiser’s response, which also requires some degree of intuitive (直觉的) awareness of an individual and their situation.(但当谈到其他标准时，人工智能在许多方面仍然没有达到目标。移情是一种人际关系，持续的反馈有助于完善移情者的反应，这也需要对个人及其处境有一定程度的直觉意识)”以及最后一段的“At the end of the day, despite talking to multiple chatbots online, I did what I knew I had to do all along: I picked up my phone and called a friend.(一天结束时，尽管我在网上与多个聊天机器人交谈，但我还是做了我一直知道必须做的事：拿起手机给一个朋友打了电话)”可知，作者在与多个聊天机器人交谈后，最终还是选择给朋友打电话寻求情感支持。这表明，虽然ChatGPT能提供一定的帮助，但在作者看来，它的人工善意仍然不能与真实的人类情感交流相比。由此可推知，作者认为它的人工善意无法与人类的相比。故选D。 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。 Having dragged everything I owned halfway across the country, I reached my university a complete fresher. ____16____ Noisy and busy, it felt somewhat overwhelming.

It is home to thousands of animals, including bright blue and yellow macaws. River dolphins swim and play in the water, and there are many different colored fish. In one town, a 13-year-old boy named Rhenan would walk along the river every day. But looking at the river made him worry because there was rubbish everywhere. He saw plastic bottles, old clothing, and empty food packages. The water looked dark and ugly. At school, Rhenan asked about the dirty river. “You wouldn’t want trash in your house,” said his teacher. “Think about the poor animals!” For days, Rhenan couldn’t stop thinking about the river. It didn’t seem right to him that this big, powerful river was filled with trash. “It’s hurting the animals in my area,” he thought. “And it’s also hurting the families who live here.” Then Rhenan had an idea. The next morning, Rhenan talked to his mother about his plan for the river. He wanted to go around his town and ask for everyone’s help. Maybe if they all worked together, they could clean up the river! Rhenan’s mother loved his idea. “I believe the most important thing for you, Rhenan, is learning how to change things that you care about. That will stay with you forever,” she told him. She told him she would help him all along the way. The next day, Rhenan went to the police department. Then he went to the Mayor’s office. He visited other schools, offices, and businesses. Soon he had a very big group of people who liked his idea! 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。 Over an entire day, they all worked together to clean up the rubbish. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking at the clean river, Rhenan decided to stop this problem from happening again. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Over an entire day, they all worked together to clean up the rubbish. Rhenan and his group of volunteers filled up many bags with plastic bottles, old clothing, and empty food packages from the river. They walked along the riverbank and the surrounding area, picking up all kinds of litter. More people from all walks of life, young or old, joined them to make a positive change in their community. Hard as the work was, they were all happy to help. Looking at the clean river, they felt a sense of pride. Looking at the clean river, Rhenan decided to stop this problem from happening again. He came up with the idea of raising the awareness of the importance of protecting the environment by making posters and flyers with pictures of the clean river and the animals that lived in it. It was with the students who he first held discussions about how it could help to keep the river clean and also benefit the community. What’s more, he suggested that the Mayor and other officials set up recycling programs to make it easier for people to dispose of their waste properly. Rhenan’s dedication showed that one person can make a huge difference. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了一名13岁的巴西男孩Rhenan对家乡受污染的阿拉瓜亚河（Araguaia River）感到担忧，并决定采取行动来清理这条河流的故事。他注意到河流中充满了垃圾，并担心这会对动物和当地居民的生活造成危害。在母亲的鼓励下，Rhenan开始了一个清理河流的倡议，并成功地得到了当地社区的支持。 详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“在一整天的时间里，他们一起清理垃圾。”可知，第一段可描写他们清理垃圾的过程以及成效。 ②由第二段首句内容“看着这条干净的河流，Rhenan决定阻止这个问题再次发生。”可知，第二段可描写Rhenan提出的进一步改善环境的措施。 2.续写线索：清理垃圾——更多的人加入他们——河水清澈，感到自豪——想出创意——进一步解决问题 3.词汇激活 行为类 装满：fill up/feed to the full 帮助：help/assist 想出：come up with/figure out 情绪类 高兴的：happy/delighted 感到自豪：feel a sense of pride/feel proud 【点睛】[高分句型1] Hard as the work was, they were all happy to help.（运用了部分倒装） [高分句型2] What’s more, he suggested that the Mayor and other officials set up recycling programs to make it easier for people to dispose of their waste properly.（运用了that引导宾语从句和虚拟语气） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
