In a special school for the hearing-impaired (听觉受损的), he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words. Later on Adrian’s parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular schools couldn’t take care of a student with special needs. His parents were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work every day because they want to prove that,given the opportunity,he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn’t always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school. The effort made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains.He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06, being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so. But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother.“If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great result” she often said. 4. How did Adrian communicate with other disabled children in the special school? A. By speaking. B. By using sign language. C. By writing letters. D. By making loud noises. 5. Why did Adrian’s parents decide to send him to a regular school? A. They wanted him to live like a regular person. B. They wanted to prove the headmaster wrong. C. He wouldn’t mix with other disabled children. D. He wasn’t taken good care of in the special school. 6. How did Adrian finally succeed in his study? A. He did a lot of outdoor activities. B. He sat at the front of the classroom. C. He attended private classes after school. D. He worked hard both in and after class. 7. Why is Adrian’s life described as an “Amazing Race”? A. He did very well in his study. B. He succeeded in entering a regular school. C. He reached his goals in spite of his disability. D. He took part in the world Yacht Race 05/06. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个听力有问题的孩子通过自己的努力以及在父母的坚持下在各方面都取得很多成绩的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In a special school for the hearing-impaired (听觉受损的), he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children.(在一所专门为听障儿童开设的学校里，他学会了手语，并与其他残疾儿童混在一起)”可知，艾德里安用手语与特殊学校里的其他残疾儿童交流。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.(她想让他过正常人的生活。因此，在咨询了一位顾问后，她把他送到了私人课程，在那里他学会了读唇语和发音)”及第二段中的“Later on, Adrian’s parents decided to send him to a regular school.(后来，艾德里安的父母决定送他去一所普通学校)”可知，艾德里安的父母决定把他送到一所普通的学校，因为他们想让他像普通人一样生活。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The pace was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn’t always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.(于上课的节奏越来越快，他不得不坐在教室的最前面，全神贯注地听老师讲课，这并不容易。但他坚持下来，放学后做了很多额外的工作)”及第三段中的“The effort made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school.(艾德里安和他父母的努力得到了回报。艾德里安以优异的成绩毕业，进入了一所顶尖的高中)”可推知，阿德里安通过课内和课后的努力，终于取得了学习上的成功。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Adrian’s “Amazing Race” started early, when his parents realized that he, as a baby, couldn’t hear a thing, not even loud noises.(艾德里安的“神奇赛跑”很早就开始了，当时他的父母意识到，他还是个婴儿，什么也听不见，甚至大声的噪音也听不见)”及第三段中的“The effort made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. (艾德里安和他父母的努力得到了回报。艾德里安以优异的成绩毕业，进入了一所顶尖的高中。他在校外的生活中也取得了很多成就)”可知，阿德里安是一个天生残疾的孩子，但他通过自己的努力，父母的帮助，却做到了常人都很少做到的事，他是成功的，他和命运来了次比赛，他是胜利者。由此推知，阿德里安的一生被形容为一场“神奇的赛跑”，因为尽管他有残疾，他还是实现了自己的目标。故选C。 C Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants. Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job. Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指). The expression comes from the early 20th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well. Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster(怪物) is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants. For example, a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if you get a pay rise and he does not. In most places in the world, a green light means to move ahead. In everyday speech, a green light means agree to continue with a project. 8. A greenhorn now refers to ________. A. a person who is new in a job B. a new soldier C. a young horse D. a cow without horns 9. A person with a green thumb is a person ________. A. who is good at growing plants B. whose thumbs are of green color C. whose garden is greener than others’ D. who is younger than his neighbors 10. A man may meet the green-eyed monster if ________. A. he sees a dangerous animal B. he reads a sad play C. his friend gets a prize that he wants D. he can’t get something 11. The main idea of the passage is ________. A. a greenhorn B. a green thumb C. the Green Revolution D. the word “green” and its story 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了与green有关的几个短语的含义以及这些短语的意义的历史变迁。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.可知，现在“greenhorn”就是指工作方面的新手。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well.可知，“A person with a green thumb”是指一个能让植物长得很好的人，也就是擅长园艺的人。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants. For example, a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if you get a pay rise and he does not.可知，the green-eyed monster就是指嫉妒别人拥有了你想要的东西的人。所以当你的朋友得到了你想要的奖项的时候，你会很嫉妒他。就可能会遇见the green-eyed monster。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章中介绍了了的多个关于green的短语“a greenhorn、 a green thumb和the green-eyed monster”的不同意义以及这些短语的来历和在不同的时期的不同的含义。所以短文主要是关于“绿色”这个词和它的故事。故选D项。 D Four months ago, OpenAI, a small San Francisco company, became the talk of the technology industry when it introduced a new online chatbot that could answer complex questions, write poetry and copy human emotions. Now the company is back with a new version (型号) of the technology, called GPT-4. GPT-4 which learns its skills by analyzing large data from the Internet, improves on what powered the original ChatGPT in several ways. It can immediately know someone’s tax duties and provide detailed descriptions of images. However, though the new technology can do better on tests and offer precise medical advice to doctors, it can mess up basic arithmetic (算术). On Tuesday, OpenAI started selling access to GPT-4 so that businesses and other software developers could build their own applications on top of it. A few companies are already working with GPT-4. Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is building a system that’ll immediately retrieve (检索) information from company documents, and serve it up to financial advisers in the form of conversations. OpenAI got the new technology enhanced. As people tested ChatGPT, they rated the chatbot’s responses, separating those that were useful and truthful from those that weren’t. Then, using an advanced skill, the system spent months analyzing those ratings and gaining a better understanding of what it should and shouldn’t do. Given a long article and asked to summarize it, GPT-4 will give a precise summary nearly every time. Moreover, given a photograph, chart or diagram, the technology can provide a detailed, paragraphs-long description of the image and answer questions about its contents. OpenAI leaders said the company wasn’t immediately releasing the image description part of the technology because they were unsure how it could be applied for improper purposes. However, “We can take all these general-purpose knowledge skills and spread them across all sorts of different areas,” said Greg Brockman, OpenAI’s president. “This takes the technology into a whole new field.” 12. What does GPT-4 need to make improvements in according to the text? A. Its describing skill. B. Its arithmetic ability. C. Its copying capability. D. Its summary function. 13. Why is Morgan Stanley Wealth Management mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To give an example. B. To present a belief. C. To explain an idea. D. To make a conclusion. 14. What does the underlined word “enhanced” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Replaced. B. Appreciated. C. Improved. D. Developed. 15. What was OpenAI’s worry about GPT-4? A. It may not understand what to do. B. Its technology could go into a new field. C. It may not sell well as expected. D. Its image description could be misused. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了旧金山的一家小公司OpenAI推出了一款新的在线聊天机器人，可以回答复杂的问题、写诗和复制人类的情感，成为科技行业的热门话题。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“However, though the new technology can do better on tests and offer precise medical advice to doctors, it can mess up basic arithmetic.(然而，尽管新技术可以在测试中做得更好，并为医生提供精确的医疗建议，但它可能会在基本的算术方面出错。)”可知，GPT-4可能会在基本算术方面出错。由此可推知，需要改进它的算术能力。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据语境分析可知，Morgan Stanley所在句“Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is building a system that’ll immediately retrieve information from company documents, and serve it up to financial advisers in the form of conversations.(摩根士丹利财富管理公司（Morgan Stanley Wealth Management）正在开发一个系统，可以立即从公司文件中检索信息，并以对话的形式提供给财务顾问。)”提出该公司使用GPT-4开发可以检索信息，并以对话形式提供给财务顾问，紧跟事实论点“A few companies are already working with GPT-4.(一些公司已经在使用GPT-4。)”之后，由此可推知，提到Morgan Stanley是举例说明一些公司已经在使用GPT-4。故选A项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。分析前后文语境可知，画线单词所在句为该段的中心主旨句，根据后文的阐述“As people tested ChatGPT, they rated the chatbot’s responses, separating those that were useful and truthful from those that weren’t. Then, using an advanced skill, the system spent months analyzing those ratings and gaining a better understanding of what it should and shouldn’t do.(当人们测试ChatGPT时，他们对聊天机器人的反应进行评分，将有用和真实的反应与没有用的反应区分开来。然后，使用先进的技术，该系统花了数月时间分析这些评分，并更好地了解它应该做什么和不应该做什么。)”可知，后文具体讲述了通过先进技术分析“反应评分”，聊天机器人进一步提升了自己的“是非认知”的过程。即，该段强调了其进步。由此可推知，“enhanced”应是“提升，进步”含义。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章末尾段内容“OpenAI leaders said the company wasn’t immediately releasing the image description part of the technology because they were unsure how it could be applied for improper purposes.(OpenAI领导人表示，该公司没有立即发布该技术的图像描述部分，因为他们不确定该技术如何用于不当目的。)”可知，OpenAI担心自己的图像描述技术会被用于不当目的。故选D项。 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。 For some people, the warmest memories from childhood come from being read a great story. ___16___ It develops children’s language skills and increases their ability to succeed in school and, later, work. Experts say parents should read books that are not too long and on the right age level so that children will not lose interest. They say parents should also point to and talk about pictures in books for infants (幼儿). ___17___ Elizabeth Lyttleton has three daughters. They are at age ten, eight and two. ___18___ She says, "I watch my two-year-old, who is now getting a big language explosion. So much of it comes from the books that she reads. With my eight-year-old, it’s now the broadening horizons (眼界). The oldest now truly reads for pleasure and can get lost in young adult books. " ___19___ The company Scholastic is a major publisher of children’s books. Every two years, Scholastic publishes a report on American reading attitudes and habits. The 2015 report says only 31 percent of children in the U. S. read a book for fun almost every day. Four years ago that number was more than double. Scholastic also suggests some ways to develop a love of reading in a child. ___20___ Another way to develop a reading habit in children is to read to them. The Scholastic report also suggests permitting children to choose their own books. Of all the 6 - to 17-year-olds in the Scholastic study, more than 90% said their favorite books are the ones they choose for themselves. A. One is simply to have books in the home. B. All her children read books at the same time. C. All her children learn from books — but in different ways. D. Of course, adults can enjoy reading children's book E. But reading to children can do more than create warm memorles. F. For young children, parents should ask questions about the book. G. However, researchers find that the number of children who read for fun is dropping fast. 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. C 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了给孩子读书的好处以及培养孩子阅读兴趣的方法。 【16题详解】 根据本空后的“It develops children's language skills and increases their ability to succeed in school and，later，work.”可知，给孩子读书还可以培养他们的语言技能，提高他们在学习和今后的工作中成功的能力，故E项（但是给孩子读书不仅仅是创造温暖的回忆）符合语境。 【17题详解】 前一句讲到对幼儿读书的方法，空处应讲给稍微大一点的孩子读书的方法，故F项（对于年幼的孩子，父母应该问一些关于这本书的问题）符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据下文Elizabeth Lyttleton所讲的话可以看出，她的三个女儿因年龄不同，读书的方法也不一样，故C项（她的孩子们从书中学习，但是方法不同）符合语境。 【19题详解】 此句是本段的主旨句，从空后的内容可以看出本段主要说明现在为了乐趣而阅读的人数下降了，故G项（然而研究人员发现以阅读为乐的儿童数量在迅速下降）符合语境。 【20题详解】 根据空前的主旨句可知，本段提出了培养儿童阅读兴趣的几个方法，根据空后的"Another way to...them"可知，此处讲的是第一种方法，故A项（一种就是在家里放书）符合语境。 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。 Whether it is a relaxing walk or a power one, taking a walk usually only lasts a small period of time.

She slowly opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the clock on the bedside table. It was already nine o’clock! Though still sleepy, Jane knew she had to get up because her mother had been working in her office day and night for several days, and she couldn’t expect her younger brother Tom, who was sleeping like a pig, to answer the phone. She quickly put on a coat and dashed into the living room. As she picked up the receiver, on the other end came the warm greeting, “Good morning, my dear!” It was the voice of her father, a seaman who seldom returned home due to his duties, earning money to support the family. On hearing her father’s voice, Jane’s sleepiness disappeared. Born in a not-so-rich family, Jane and Tom felt the stress of life, but they were happy to enjoy the family atmosphere (氛围). At school, they were straight-A students and took part in various after-school activities, earning the pride of their parents. “Good morning, Dad. Why are you calling so early on a weekend?” Jane asked, pretending to be slightly annoyed. “Tom and I have been very nice recently.” “My dear, today is your mother’s birthday. I have ordered a cake online and it will arrive at our doorstep in the late morning. Do remember to take the cake. It is my surprise for your mother.” Upon hearing her father’s words, Jane felt a twinge of embarrassment (尴尬). How could she have forgotten such an important day! While chatting with her father, Jane’s eyes wandered around the room, and she saw a lot of dirty clothes scattered (散落) on the sofa. The floor hadn’t been cleaned for a few days, since her mother had been too busy with work to deal with such housework. Looking at the clock again, Jane realized she still had enough time to prepare a surprise for her mother. “Well, Dad, now I’m going to wake Tom up. We will give Mum a surprise, too!” Jane said and hung up the telephone. Jane hurried to Tom’s room and shared her plan with him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Happy birthday, Mum!” Jane and Tom shouted when their mother opened the door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Jane hurried to Tom’s room and shared her plan with him. After listening to Jane, Tom readily accepted her idea. The big cleaning plan began. Jane collected the clothes from the sofa and began to do the laundry. Meanwhile, Tom was busy cleaning the floor back and forth with all his strength, really aware of what tiring work his Mum had at home! One hour later, the cleaning work was finally finished. They even prepared a simple breakfast for Mum. With everything ready for the big moment, they knocked at their mother’s bedroom door excitedly. “Happy birthday, Mum!” Jane and Tom shouted when their mother opened the door. Confused and surprised, Mum stood frozen. When Mum realized what had happened, a warm current rose in her heart. Staring at the clean floor and the washed clothes, she was moved to tears and hugged them tightly. “It is the best birthday gift I have ever had!” Mum said proudly. Around 11 a.m., another surprise — the cake that Dad had ordered — arrived as well. Mum took out her smartphone, took a picture of the three of them eating the cake happily, and sent it to Dad. What an unforgettable birthday for her! 【解析】 【导语】本文以 “母亲生日” 为核心线索展开，讲述了简接到父亲的电话后，发现自己忘记母亲生日，随后与弟弟汤姆一起通过打扫房间、准备惊喜，为母亲庆祝生日的温馨故事，凸显家庭间的关爱与温暖。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句 “简急忙跑到汤姆的房间，和他分享了自己的计划”可知，第一段需围绕 “姐弟俩落实计划” 展开，具体描写两人分工合作，为后续母亲的惊喜做铺垫。 ②由第二段首句 ““妈妈，生日快乐！”当妈妈开门时，简和汤姆喊道。”可知，第二段需聚焦 “母亲的反应”，通过描写母亲从困惑到感动的情绪变化，升华家庭温馨的主题。 2.续写线索： 分享计划→分工打扫（简洗衣 / 汤姆拖地）→准备早餐→唤醒母亲→母亲感动→蛋糕送达→全家共享温馨时刻 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①收集：collect/gather ②洗衣服：do the laundry/do the washing/wash the clothes ③完成：finish/complete 情绪类 ①感动：be moved to tears/feel a warm current in the heart/be deeply touched ②开心地：happily/delightedly 【点睛】[高分句型1]Meanwhile, Tom was busy cleaning the floor back and forth with all his strength, really aware of what tiring work his Mum had at home!（运用由连接词what引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2]When Mum realized what had happened, a warm current rose in her heart.（运用when引导的时间状语从句和what引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 防城港市2024年春季学期高一教学质量检测 英语 注意事项： 1.本试卷总分150分,考试时间120分钟。 2.本试卷分为选择题、填空题、作文题。请把正确的答案用2B铅笔填涂在答题卡上指定的位置,其它题目用黑色中性笔作答。 第一部分 听力（共两节,满分30分） 做题时,先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后,你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5,分,满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.Who do you think are the speakers?

B Adrian’s “Amazing Race” started early, when his parents realized that he, as a baby, couldn’t hear a thing, not even loud noises. In a special school for the hearing-impaired (听觉受损的), he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words. Later on, Adrian’s parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular schools couldn’t take care of a student with special needs. His parents were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work every day because they want to prove that,given the opportunity,he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn’t always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school. The effort made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains.He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06, being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so. But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother.“If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great result” she often said. 4. How did Adrian communicate with other disabled children in the special school? A. By speaking. B. By using sign language. C. By writing letters. D. By making loud noises. 5. Why did Adrian’s parents decide to send him to a regular school? A. They wanted him to live like a regular person. B. They wanted to prove the headmaster wrong. C. He wouldn’t mix with other disabled children. D. He wasn’t taken good care of in the special school. 6. How did Adrian finally succeed in his study? A. He did a lot of outdoor activities. B. He sat at the front of the classroom. C. He attended private classes after school. D. He worked hard both in and after class. 7. Why is Adrian’s life described as an “Amazing Race”? A. He did very well in his study. B. He succeeded in entering a regular school. C. He reached his goals in spite of his disability. D. He took part in the world Yacht Race 05/06. C Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants. Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job. Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指). The expression comes from the early 20th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well. Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster(怪物) is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants. For example, a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if you get a pay rise and he does not. In most places in the world, a green light means to move ahead. In everyday speech, a green light means agree to continue with a project. 8. A greenhorn now refers to ________. A. a person who is new in a job B a new soldier C. a young horse D a cow without horns 9. A person with a green thumb is a person ________. A. who is good at growing plants B. whose thumbs are of green color C. whose garden is greener than others’ D. who is younger than his neighbors 10. A man may meet the green-eyed monster if ________. A. he sees a dangerous animal B. he reads a sad play C. his friend gets a prize that he wants D. he can’t get something 11. The main idea of the passage is ________. A. a greenhorn B. a green thumb C. the Green Revolution D. the word “green” and its story D Four months ago, OpenAI, a small San Francisco company, became the talk of the technology industry when it introduced a new online chatbot that could answer complex questions, write poetry and copy human emotions. Now the company is back with a new version (型号) of the technology, called GPT-4. GPT-4, which learns its skills by analyzing large data from the Internet, improves on what powered the original ChatGPT in several ways. It can immediately know someone’s tax duties and provide detailed descriptions of images. However, though the new technology can do better on tests and offer precise medical advice to doctors, it can mess up basic arithmetic (算术). On Tuesday, OpenAI started selling access to GPT-4 so that businesses and other software developers could build their own applications on top of it. A few companies are already working with GPT-4. Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is building a system that’ll immediately retrieve (检索) information from company documents, and serve it up to financial advisers in the form of conversations. OpenAI got the new technology enhanced. As people tested ChatGPT, they rated the chatbot’s responses, separating those that were useful and truthful from those that weren’t. Then, using an advanced skill, the system spent months analyzing those ratings and gaining a better understanding of what it should and shouldn’t do. Given a long article and asked to summarize it, GPT-4 will give a precise summary nearly every time. Moreover, given a photograph, chart or diagram, the technology can provide a detailed, paragraphs-long description of the image and answer questions about its contents. OpenAI leaders said the company wasn’t immediately releasing the image description part of the technology because they were unsure how it could be applied for improper purposes. However, “We can take all these general-purpose knowledge skills and spread them across all sorts of different areas,” said Greg Brockman, OpenAI’s president. “This takes the technology into a whole new field.” 12. What does GPT-4 need to make improvements in according to the text? A. Its describing skill. B. Its arithmetic ability. C. Its copying capability. D. Its summary function. 13. Why is Morgan Stanley Wealth Management mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To give an example. B. To present a belief. C. To explain an idea. D. To make a conclusion. 14. What does the underlined word “enhanced” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Replaced. B. Appreciated. C. Improved. D. Developed. 15. What was OpenAI’s worry about GPT-4? A. It may not understand what to do. B. Its technology could go into a new field. C. It may not sell well as expected. D. Its image description could be misused. 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。 For some people, the warmest memories from childhood come from being read a great story. ___16___ It develops children’s language skills and increases their ability to succeed in school and, later, work.

She slowly opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the clock on the bedside table. It was already nine o’clock! Though still sleepy, Jane knew she had to get up because her mother had been working in her office day and night for several days, and she couldn’t expect her younger brother Tom, who was sleeping like a pig, to answer the phone. She quickly put on a coat and dashed into the living room. As she picked up the receiver, on the other end came the warm greeting, “Good morning, my dear!” It was the voice of her father, a seaman who seldom returned home due to his duties, earning money to support the family. On hearing her father’s voice, Jane’s sleepiness disappeared. Born in a not-so-rich family, Jane and Tom felt the stress of life, but they were happy to enjoy the family atmosphere (氛围). At school, they were straight-A students and took part in various after-school activities, earning the pride of their parents. “Good morning, Dad. Why are you calling so early on a weekend?” Jane asked, pretending to be slightly annoyed. “Tom and I have been very nice recently.” “My dear, today is your mother’s birthday. I have ordered a cake online and it will arrive at our doorstep in the late morning. Do remember to take the cake. It is my surprise for your mother.” Upon hearing her father’s words, Jane felt a twinge of embarrassment (尴尬). How could she have forgotten such an important day! While chatting with her father, Jane’s eyes wandered around the room, and she saw a lot of dirty clothes scattered (散落) on the sofa. The floor hadn’t been cleaned for a few days, since her mother had been too busy with work to deal with such housework. Looking at the clock again, Jane realized she still had enough time to prepare a surprise for her mother. “Well, Dad, now I’m going to wake Tom up. We will give Mum a surprise, too!” Jane said and hung up the telephone. Jane hurried to Tom’s room and shared her plan with him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Happy birthday, Mum!” Jane and Tom shouted when their mother opened the door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
