They were out celebrating a bachelor party, sailing the peaceful waters of the Minnesota River. They never expected that this single party would transform from a relaxed canoe trip into a painful rescue mission. With the sun setting, an unexpected bark changed everything. Led by Mitch White, the soon-to-be-married man, they searched for the source of the sound along the banks of the river. Suddenly, a weak cry for help came from the mud. They were surprised to find that the head of a 13-year-old St. Bernard named Ed was barely visible in the thick mud. Mitch said, “The dog wasn’t moving on its own, so we should feed it and give it water.” The dog looked like it had used all its strength. The men took up their oars (桨) and began digging, their festive mood giving way to a focused rescue mission. It took them more than half an hour to free the trapped dog as it was already breathing very feebly after possibly being trapped for 24 hours. When they got the poor fellow out of the mud, he couldn’t walk, so they carried him back to the house. Back home with his owner, George Niskanen, Ed began his slow restoration—a happy ending to a dangerous adventure. George was thankful to the bachelor party heroes. Now, the people of Carver, Minnesota, have new heroes to cheer for. Indeed, this incredible act of bravery and compassion redefined the meaning of a bachelor party. It became a heroic tale of humanity, friendship, and the instinct (本能) to do what’s right. 4. What can we know from the first two paragraphs? A. A baby’s cry came from the Minnesota River. B. Mitch White was about to end his single life soon. C. A dog named Ed ran into Mitch White and his friends’ party. D. Mitch White and his friends planned to watch the sunrise by the river. 5. What does the underlined word “feebly” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Excitedly. B. Smoothly. C. Quietly. D. Weakly. 6. What do the locals think of Mitch White and his friends? A. Ambitious. B. Creative. C. Courageous. D. Independent. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. An Unexpected Rescue at a Bachelor Party B. The Story Between St. Bernard and Its Owner C. A Heart-Stopping Competition on the Minnesota River D. The Weekend Activities for Mitch White and His Friends 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了Mitch White和他的朋友们在开单身派对时救了一只被困的圣伯纳犬，并被人们称赞的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Led by Mitch White, the soon-to-be-married man, they searched for the source of the sound along the banks of the river.(在即将结婚的米奇·怀特的带领下，他们沿着河岸寻找声音的来源)”可知，Mitch不久后就要结婚了。故选B。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“Suddenly, a weak cry for help came from the mud.(突然，一声微弱的呼救声从泥泞中传来)”及画线词后“after possibly being trapped for 24 hours.”可推断，这只狗被困24小时以上，它的气息已经很微弱了。故画线词意思是“虚弱的”。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now, the people of Carver, Minnesota, have new heroes to cheer for. Indeed, this incredible act of bravery and compassion redefined the meaning of a bachelor party.(现在，明尼苏达州卡佛市的人们又有了新的英雄。的确，这一勇敢而富有同情心的令人难以置信的举动重新定义了单身派对的意义)”可推断，当地人觉得 Mitch White和他的朋友们是非常勇敢的。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“When they got the poor fellow out of the mud, he couldn’t walk, so they carried him back to the house. Back home with his owner, George Niskanen, Ed began his slow restoration—a happy ending to a dangerous adventure. George was thankful to the bachelor party heroes.(当他们把这个可怜的家伙从泥里救出来时，他走不动了，所以他们把他抬回了房子。回到家里，艾德和他的主人乔治·尼斯卡宁一起开始了他缓慢的修复工作——这是一次危险冒险的圆满结局。乔治很感激单身派对上的英雄们)”结合本文讲述了Mitch White和他的朋友们在开单身派对时救了一只被困的圣伯纳犬，并被人们称赞的故事。A选项“单身派对上的意外救援”最符合文章标题。故选A。 C If you’re thinking about growing apples, now is the time to test different kinds and talk with local growers. This advice comes from gardening writer Lee Reich. His books include The Pruning (修剪) Book and Weedless Gardening. Reich grows an apple called Hudson’s Golden Gem, and he does so for one reason — the taste. He says the fruit’s wonderful taste makes it truly special. When you buy apples at the store, your choice is limited to the 12 or more kinds available for sale. Gardeners, however, have more choices. They can plant any of more than 5,000 different kinds of apples. Gardeners can also harvest their apples just as each kind reaches its moment of perfection. Reich says his Macoun apples taste much better than any Macoun apples found in stores. One reason is that his can be left to ripen until they nearly fall off the tree. Here are some other flavorful apples to plant. The Ashmead’s Kernel apple was first grown more than 200 years ago in a garden belonging to Dr. Ashmead in Gloucester, England. The apple has a reddish, golden brown color. Inside, it has tasty, sharp flesh. Cox’s Orange Pippin is another old apple from England. It was first grown by Richard Cox in 1825. This apple’s orange and red color makes it unpopular in the American market. But it is loved for its strong taste. Ellison’s Orange is another British apple that came from Lincolnshire in 1911. It is a late summer or early autumn apple, golden yellow with stripes, with juicy flesh. Before you run out to buy trees to grow the kinds you love to eat, Reich does have a warning: Apples are not easy to grow in many parts of the country. The plants require yearly pruning and insect control. But if you’re willing to learn how to keep the unwanted insects away, a few kinds of trees chosen for their taste will give you years of good eating. 8. What can we infer about Lee Reich? A. He is a teacher. B. He loves planting. C. He grows a very rare kind of flower. D. His books are about how to sell trees. 9. Why are Reich’s Macoun apples tastier than those in the store? A. They are naturally ripe. B. They are planted in the garden. C. They have been picked out carefully. D. They are genetically modified products. 10. How many types of apples are mentioned in the text? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 11. What do you need to do in planting apple trees according to the last paragraph? A. Water enough. B. Read many relative books. C. Pay attention to light and nutrition. D. Prune the trees and remove insects. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了园艺作家Lee Reich对于种植苹果的一些建议。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If you’re thinking about growing apples, now is the time to test different kinds and talk with local growers. This advice comes from gardening writer Lee Reich. His books include The Pruning (修剪) Book and Weedless Gardening. Reich grows an apple called Hudson’s Golden Gem, and he does so for one reason — the taste. He says the fruit’s wonderful taste makes it truly special.(如果你正在考虑种植苹果，现在是时候测试不同种类的苹果，并与当地种植者交谈。这个建议来自园艺作家Lee Reich。他的著作包括《修剪书》和《无草园艺》。赖希种了一种名叫哈德森黄金宝石的苹果，他这么做的原因只有一个——味道。他说，这种水果的美妙味道让它真的很特别)”及下文对Reich种植苹果的一些介绍可推断，Reich喜欢种植。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“One reason is that his can be left to ripen until they nearly fall off the tree.(其中一个原因是，它们可以被放着成熟，直到它们几乎从树上掉下来)”可知，Reich的苹果比商店里的好吃是因为苹果都是自然成熟的。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一、三、四段的内容可知，文中提到的苹果种类有：Hudson’s Golden Gem、Macoun、The Ashmead’s Kernel、Cox’s Orange Pippin和Ellison’s Orange五种。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The plants require yearly pruning and insect control.(这些植物需要每年修剪一次并防治虫害)”可知，在种植苹果树时要注意修剪和除虫。故选D。 D A major meeting of computer hackers (黑客) planned for this summer is to include an event that will test the limits of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The event, in August, will be held as part of the yearly DEF CON hacker meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada. Organizers say the meeting provides a chance for hackers to hear from leading industry officials about the latest developments in computer security. It also includes hacking competitions. This year, several major AI developers will take part in DEF CON. Among them will be OpenAI, which launched its latest AI model, ChatGPT-4, in March. Recently released AI tools are built by feeding huge amounts of information into machine learning computer systems. The data trains the AI systems to develop complex skills and produce human-like results. Experts have warned that such systems may bring major changes to many different jobs and industries. It affects everyone from managers to workers to housewives. They also fear the tools, known as “chatbots”, could greatly increase the amount of misinformation in the news media and on social media. Chowdhury, an organizer of the hacking event, says the results of the event can provide helpful information to companies looking at ways to safely use the fast-developing AI systems. She notes that the hackers’ work will not end after the gathering. They will spend months afterward creating reports on their findings and identifying specific system vulnerabilities (漏洞). Jack Clark is the co-founder of AI developer Anthropic. He says he hopes the DEF CON event will lead to deeper commitments from AI developers to measure and test the safety of their systems. For this to happen, though, AI systems will need to be examined by third parties both before and after deployment (部署). “We need to get practice at figuring out how to do this. It hasn’t really been done before,” he says. 12. What can hackers learn from this meeting? A. The rules of AI tool competitions. B. The application of model ChatGPT-4. C. The future of hackers in the computer field. D. The latest developments in computer security. 13. What does the underlined word “They” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Experts. B. Managers. C. Workers. D. Housewives. 14. Which of the following statements does Chowdhury agree with? A. The current network system is approaching perfection. B. The activity of improving network security will not stop. C. The reports accelerate the development of AI. D. AI systems need to be inspected by the third parties. 15. What do Jack Clark’s words imply? A. AI users must test the security of computer systems. B. AI developers may overlook the shortcomings of their own products. C. AI systems develop complex skills and produce results similar to those of humans. D. The DEF CON event will encourage companies to develop new products. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了即将举行的计算机黑客会议，其重点是测试人工智能工具的极限。会议将包括涉及人工智能如ChatGPT-4的安全性和潜在影响，组织者希望通过活动提供安全使用AI的信息，并强调AI系统需要第三方安全检查。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Organizers say the meeting provides a chance for hackers to hear from leading industry officials about the latest developments in computer security. (组织者说，这次会议为黑客们提供了一个机会，让他们从业界的领导那里了解到计算机安全的最新发展)”可知，黑客们能从这次会议中了解到计算机安全方面的最新发展。故选D项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词的上文“Experts have warned that such systems may bring major changes to many different jobs and industries. It affects everyone from managers to workers to housewives. (专家警告说，这样的系统可能会给许多不同的工作和行业带来重大变化。它影响着从经理到工人到家庭主妇的每一个人)”先提到专家针对这样的系统可能带来重要变化的警告，划线词所在句“They also fear the tools, known as “chatbots”, could greatly increase the amount of misinformation in the news media and on social media. (他们还担心，这些被称为“聊天机器人”的工具可能会大大增加新闻媒体和社交媒体上的错误信息数量)”提到他们进一步的担心：新闻媒体和社交媒体上的错误信息增多。由此推知，这里的担心也来自上文提到的专家，划线词指的是“专家”。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“She notes that the hackers’ work will not end after the gathering. They will spend months afterward creating reports on their findings and identifying specific system vulnerabilities (漏洞). (她指出，黑客的工作不会在会议结束后结束。之后，他们会花几个月的时间创建关于他们的发现和识别特定系统漏洞的报告)”可知，Chowdhury指出黑客的工作仍将继续，会报告他们的发现和识别特定系统漏洞。由此可知，Chowdhury会同意“提高网络安全的行动不会停止”的观点。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He says he hopes the DEF CON event will lead to deeper commitments from AI developers to measure and test the safety of their systems. For this to happen, though, AI systems will need to be examined by third parties both before and after deployment (部署). (他说，他希望DEF CON活动将促使人工智能开发人员做出更深入的承诺，以衡量和测试其系统的安全性。不过，要实现这一点，人工智能系统在部署之前和之后都需要由第三方进行检查)”可推知，人工智能开发人员可能会忽视自己产品的缺点，因此其系统的安全性需要被三方检查和测试。故选B项。 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。 How to Get Your Best Friend Back Most people have a falling-out with their best friend at some point.

You could say, “It’s been really hard for me lately. I’m used to being able to talk to you every day, but lately, I’ve felt like you were too busy for me.” ____18____. You may have different ideas, and that’s okay. What’s important is that you are able to share your own feelings on the situation without judging your friend. Avoid statements like “You never listen to me!” Instead, say, “I felt like you weren’t hearing me, and that made me feel frustrated.” Take responsibility for your actions. ____19____. Don’t make excuses, no matter how justified you felt in doing what you did. There is no excuse to hurt your friends, just as there is no excuse for them to hurt you. For example, avoid saying, “I’m sorry I forgot about your birthday party. I had a busy week and lost track of the days.” Suggest ways to work through your issues. ____20____. Healing (修复) your friendship will require work, and your apology will hold more weight if you show your friend that you have a plan. Ask them to go to see a popular movie together.

Whether you’ve quarreled, or they’ve moved away, you can get your best friend back 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. A 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了挽回友谊的方法。 16题详解】 根据空前“Things may feel rough, but stay positive.(事情可能会变得艰难，但保持积极)”以及空后“Here are some tips for you.(这里有一些给你的建议)”可知，上文提到保持积极，说明事情还是可以挽回的。故G项“无论你们吵架了，还是他们搬走了，你都可以把你最好的朋友找回来”符合语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据空前“Your friends may miss you as much as you miss them.(你的朋友可能会像你想念他们一样想念你)”及空后“You could say, “It’s been really hard for me lately. I’m used to being able to talk to you every day, but lately, I’ve felt like you were too busy for me.”(你可以说，“最近对我来说真的很难。我习惯了每天都能和你说话，但最近，我觉得你太忙了，没空陪我。”)”可知，本句建议向朋友倾诉想念。故C项“告诉你的朋友你有多想念他们”符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据空后“You may have different ideas, and that’s okay. What’s important is that you are able to share your own feelings on the situation without judging your friend. Avoid statements like “You never listen to me!” Instead, say, “I felt like you weren’t hearing me, and that made me feel frustrated.”(你可能有不同的想法，没关系。重要的是，你能够在不评判你朋友的情况下分享你自己的感受。避免说“你从来不听我的！”相反，你可以说：“我觉得你没有在听我说话，这让我感到很沮丧。”)”可知，后文的例子表明要以“我”为开头进行陈述。故A项“使用以‘我’为开头的陈述”符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据空前“Take responsibility for your actions.( 为你的行为负责)”以及空后“Don’t make excuses, no matter how justified you felt in doing what you did.(不要找借口，不管你觉得自己做的事情多么合情合理)”可知，后文提到了不要找借口，说明不要为自己的行为进行狡辩。故D项“道歉的时候，不要急于为自己的行为辩解”符合语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Suggest ways to work through your issues.(提出解决问题的方法)”以及后文“Healing (修复) your friendship will require work, and your apology will hold more weight if you show your friend that you have a plan.(修复友谊需要努力，如果你向你的朋友展示你有计划，你的道歉会更有分量)”可知，仅仅通过言语是无法真正修复彼此关系的，如果想要彻底恢复友情还要有具体的做法，故F项“谈话可能开启修复，但可能不能完全恢复你们的关系”符合，起到承上启下的作用。故选F。 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。 Looking at some of Vivian Xue Rahey’s tiny masterpieces, you’d think she has been practicing nail (指甲) painting for most of her life, but you would be ____21____.

Racing is an exciting sport, but Riley represents a lot more than that. He is breaking barriers, educating people around the world and giving families hope. He has been drawing crowds to the race track for years. But his claim to fame isn’t just being fast on the speedway. He is breaking barriers on the track for those with disabilities. Riley has autism (自闭症). Simple tasks like tying his shoes are extremely complicated for him, but when you put him in a race car — a complex, delicate piece of machinery — he will blow your mind. I first met Riley and his father Jason at the local go-cart (卡丁车) track. I still remember how excited Riley was to have me and my cameraman there filming his every move. He was a go-cart racer back then. He could barely talk to me, let alone look at me. But despite how quiet and shy he was, I knew this kid was going to be something big. The go-cart track is where Riley’s racing career began. His dad just wanted to give him something to focus his energy on. Riley has always loved cars. He has literally been absorbed in them since he was three years old. So why not try go-carts? The minute Riley hit the gas, he was attracted. Little did Riley and his father realize this going around the track would change their lives forever. In Riley’s mind, everything moves fast. Slowing things down makes things difficult and frustrating. But the minute Riley slid into that go-cart, everything felt in sync (同步). He had found his calling and it put him on the podium (颁奖台) many times. Riley’s journey on the track soon took him from fast go-carts to really fast cars. He became the first person with autism to get his race car license in his country. He was an impressive force on the track, but an even more impressive person off the track. 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。 People were coming up to Riley, wanting to know who he was. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Parents with autistic children saw hope from Riley’s story ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: People were coming up to Riley, wanting to know who he was. Many were shocked to find out Riley had autism. So Jason talked about it. He talked about Riley to anyone who would listen. The catch phrase, “Racing with autism”, became Riley’s motto and the name of an education campaign they would take from track to track, and then school to school. Riley and his father hosted hundreds of presentations telling kids, teachers and parents about his story. Parents with autistic children saw hope from Riley’s story. They felt if Riley could do what he was doing, their kids had a chance, too. These parents often took their autistic kids to watch Riley’s games. Riley offered to take photos with these autistic children and gave them some gifts he had prepared in advance, hoping to encourage them in this way. “I feel very happy and proud of what I’m doing because I love racing, and I’m doing it to change the world,” he told me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。奥斯汀·莱利是一位赛车手，他不仅在赛道上以速度吸引观众，特别是为残疾人士树立了榜样。身为自闭症患者的他，生活中的简单任务对他而言极为复杂，但当他坐上赛车这一精细机械时，其表现令人惊叹。莱利的赛车生涯始于卡丁车赛场，父亲为了让他集中精力而引入这项运动。对车无比热爱的莱利，在赛车上找到了归属感，并多次站上领奖台。他不仅是国内首位获得赛车执照的自闭症患者，更是赛道上下都展现出非凡魅力的人物。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“人们都来找莱利，想知道他是谁。”可知，第一段可以描写人们了解莱利的过程，知道莱利是自闭症患者，莱利和他的父亲主持了数百场演讲讲述他的故事。 ②由第二段句首内容“自闭症儿童的父母从莱利的故事中看到了希望。”可知，第二段可以描写莱利的经历对人们的影响，莱利采取行动鼓励这些自闭症孩子。 2.续写线索：他是谁——了解莱利——父子俩主持演讲——自闭症儿童的看到希望——带自闭症孩子去看莱利的比赛——鼓舞 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①主办、组织：host/organize ②鼓励：encourage/inspire ③改变：change/alter 情绪类 ①震惊的：shocked/astonished ②高兴的：happy/delighted 【点睛】【高分句型1】He talked about Riley to anyone who would listen.

They were out celebrating a bachelor party, sailing the peaceful waters of the Minnesota River. They never expected that this single party would transform from a relaxed canoe trip into a painful rescue mission. With the sun setting, an unexpected bark changed everything. Led by Mitch White, the soon-to-be-married man, they searched for the source of the sound along the banks of the river. Suddenly, a weak cry for help came from the mud. They were surprised to find that the head of a 13-year-old St. Bernard named Ed was barely visible in the thick mud. Mitch said, “The dog wasn’t moving on its own, so we should feed it and give it water.” The dog looked like it had used all its strength. The men took up their oars (桨) and began digging, their festive mood giving way to a focused rescue mission. It took them more than half an hour to free the trapped dog as it was already breathing very feebly after possibly being trapped for 24 hours. When they got the poor fellow out of the mud, he couldn’t walk, so they carried him back to the house. Back home with his owner, George Niskanen, Ed began his slow restoration—a happy ending to a dangerous adventure. George was thankful to the bachelor party heroes. Now, the people of Carver, Minnesota, have new heroes to cheer for. Indeed, this incredible act of bravery and compassion redefined the meaning of a bachelor party. It became a heroic tale of humanity, friendship, and the instinct (本能) to do what’s right. 4. What can we know from the first two paragraphs? A. A baby’s cry came from the Minnesota River. B. Mitch White was about to end his single life soon. C. A dog named Ed ran into Mitch White and his friends’ party. D. Mitch White and his friends planned to watch the sunrise by the river. 5. What does the underlined word “feebly” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Excitedly. B. Smoothly. C. Quietly. D. Weakly. 6. What do the locals think of Mitch White and his friends? A. Ambitious. B. Creative. C. Courageous. D. Independent. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. An Unexpected Rescue at a Bachelor Party B. The Story Between St. Bernard and Its Owner C. A Heart-Stopping Competition on the Minnesota River D. The Weekend Activities for Mitch White and His Friends C If you’re thinking about growing apples, now is the time to test different kinds and talk with local growers. This advice comes from gardening writer Lee Reich. His books include The Pruning (修剪) Book and Weedless Gardening. Reich grows an apple called Hudson’s Golden Gem, and he does so for one reason — the taste. He says the fruit’s wonderful taste makes it truly special. When you buy apples at the store, your choice is limited to the 12 or more kinds available for sale. Gardeners, however, have more choices. They can plant any of more than 5,000 different kinds of apples. Gardeners can also harvest their apples just as each kind reaches its moment of perfection. Reich says his Macoun apples taste much better than any Macoun apples found in stores. One reason is that his can be left to ripen until they nearly fall off the tree. Here are some other flavorful apples to plant. The Ashmead’s Kernel apple was first grown more than 200 years ago in a garden belonging to Dr. Ashmead in Gloucester, England. The apple has a reddish, golden brown color. Inside, it has tasty, sharp flesh. Cox’s Orange Pippin is another old apple from England. It was first grown by Richard Cox in 1825. This apple’s orange and red color makes it unpopular in the American market. But it is loved for its strong taste. Ellison’s Orange is another British apple that came from Lincolnshire in 1911. It is a late summer or early autumn apple, golden yellow with stripes, with juicy flesh. Before you run out to buy trees to grow the kinds you love to eat, Reich does have a warning: Apples are not easy to grow in many parts of the country. The plants require yearly pruning and insect control. But if you’re willing to learn how to keep the unwanted insects away, a few kinds of trees chosen for their taste will give you years of good eating. 8. What can we infer about Lee Reich? A. He is a teacher. B. He loves planting. C. He grows a very rare kind of flower. D. His books are about how to sell trees. 9. Why are Reich’s Macoun apples tastier than those in the store? A. They are naturally ripe. B. They are planted in the garden. C They have been picked out carefully. D. They are genetically modified products. 10. How many types of apples are mentioned in the text? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 11. What do you need to do in planting apple trees according to the last paragraph? A. Water enough. B. Read many relative books. C. Pay attention to light and nutrition. D. Prune the trees and remove insects. D A major meeting of computer hackers (黑客) planned for this summer is to include an event that will test the limits of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The event, in August, will be held as part of the yearly DEF CON hacker meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada. Organizers say the meeting provides a chance for hackers to hear from leading industry officials about the latest developments in computer security. It also includes hacking competitions. This year, several major AI developers will take part in DEF CON. Among them will be OpenAI, which launched its latest AI model, ChatGPT-4, in March. Recently released AI tools are built by feeding huge amounts of information into machine learning computer systems. The data trains the AI systems to develop complex skills and produce human-like results. Experts have warned that such systems may bring major changes to many different jobs and industries. It affects everyone from managers to workers to housewives. They also fear the tools, known as “chatbots”, could greatly increase the amount of misinformation in the news media and on social media. Chowdhury, an organizer of the hacking event, says the results of the event can provide helpful information to companies looking at ways to safely use the fast-developing AI systems.

Racing is an exciting sport, but Riley represents a lot more than that. He is breaking barriers, educating people around the world and giving families hope. He has been drawing crowds to the race track for years. But his claim to fame isn’t just being fast on the speedway. He is breaking barriers on the track for those with disabilities. Riley has autism (自闭症). Simple tasks like tying his shoes are extremely complicated for him, but when you put him in a race car — a complex, delicate piece of machinery — he will blow your mind. I first met Riley and his father Jason at the local go-cart (卡丁车) track. I still remember how excited Riley was to have me and my cameraman there filming his every move. He was a go-cart racer back then. He could barely talk to me, let alone look at me. But despite how quiet and shy he was, I knew this kid was going to be something big. The go-cart track is where Riley’s racing career began. His dad just wanted to give him something to focus his energy on. Riley has always loved cars. He has literally been absorbed in them since he was three years old. So why not try go-carts? The minute Riley hit the gas, he was attracted. Little did Riley and his father realize this going around the track would change their lives forever. In Riley’s mind, everything moves fast. Slowing things down makes things difficult and frustrating. But the minute Riley slid into that go-cart, everything felt in sync (同步). He had found his calling and it put him on the podium (颁奖台) many times. Riley’s journey on the track soon took him from fast go-carts to really fast cars. He became the first person with autism to get his race car license in his country. He was an impressive force on the track, but an even more impressive person off the track. 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。 People were coming up to Riley, wanting to know who he was. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Parents with autistic children saw hope from Riley’s story. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案1~5 ACBAC 6~10 BABAB 11~15 CABAC 16~20 CBCBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
