An apartment near the police station had caught fire and the dispatcher (调度员) reported a 3-year-old child trapped inside. Though firefighters were on the way, Tyler knew he could get there sooner. And so, the 25-year-old police officer raced to the scene determined to help. “I must save this child at all costs,” he thought. When Tyler Dison arrived at the apartment building, he saw fire flames shooting out of the windows. The police officer gave no thought to his own safety. Instead, he rushed into the flames. Rushing into the apartment filled with flames and thick, black smoke. Tyler immediately began searching for the child. The heat was unbearable but the brave officer refused to give up until, at last, he located the child. Officer Dison raced out with the 3-year-old boy in his arms, taking the child to his police car. The brave hero then drove to meet the ambulance (救护车) halfway so the boy could receive medical attention as quickly as possible. “If I hadn’t done something, that baby would have died,” Officer Dison explained. “His breathing was very shallow, and he wasn’t really responding.” Officer Dison got burned in his arm. However, it didn’t matter to Tyler Dison. All he cared about was saving the 3-year-old. And thanks to his courage, the little boy got the help he needed and is going to be just fine. “I’m so happy that baby is doing OK,” Tyler said. “I grew up in this town, I want to protect it always.” The call Tyler Dison received that day was unlike any one he had ever experienced. Even so, when he arrived at the scene, Tyler’s past training and his deep desire to save lives told him just what to do. 33. What did Tyler Dison choose to do after he received the call? A. Call the ambulance. B. Join the firefighters. C. Rush to the fire scene. D. Finish his night shift. 34. The boy’s life was finally saved because ______.

A. Responsible and honest. B. Brave and adventurous. C. Courageous and selfless. D. Independent and humorous. B Nowadays, the streaming music field is filled with seemingly similar services and interchangeable functions. However, a deeper dive shows that many of the highest-rated streaming music apps include a wide range of features. We’ve tested the notable names to help you narrow down your choices. Why We Picked It LiveOne features a deep well of quality listening material, which includes informative DJs, numerous podcasts (播客) radio theatres, and concert streams. Who It’s For Rock music fans will dig LiveOne, which focuses on the live music experience. If your favorite band is coming to town, you can purchase tickets to see a show in person or enjoy the show via live stream on your mobile phone. Why We Picked It By joining live radio, in-studio artist interviews, and traditional streaming audio together, SiriusXM owns its secret to success. An extremely generous three-month tryout lets you explore the service’s offerings before paying cash. Who It’s For SiriusXM is the perfect service for radio lovers who want to pursue life style and new shows. There’s a comforting nostalgia (怀旧) that comes from surfing channels on the radio, and SiriusXM brings that old-school memories to your vehicle or mobile device. Why We Picked It The music streaming industry is a particularly competitive field, so Deezer, which entered the scene in 2016, has its competitiveness. Still, Deezer is a well-rounded package that offers music, live radio show, and podcasts, as well as a few interesting parts to make the service worth your while. Who It’s For One of Deezer’s most interesting features is its ability to import MP3 files. If you have your favorite music files saved on a computer, you can upload them to your account via Deezer’s website. Why We Picked It There’s no shortage of streaming music services that highlight trending music. When it comes to classical music, however, many services fall short. Idagio offers a large record of high-quality classical music, as well as live-streamed concerts and interviews. Who It’s For There are plenty of music streaming services with classical tunes, but Idagio has the type-specific tools you need to find the music you want. 36. If you want to experience live-streamed classical music, you can download ______. A. LiveOne B. SiriusXM C. Deezer D. Idagio 37. What makes SiriusXM different from others? A. It provides live radio show. B. It offers short-term free use. C. It is popular with old schools. D. It can be used on mobile phones. 38. The passage is intended to ______. A. introduce the music on music apps B. share the features of different music apps C. rate services on the four popular music apps D. give instructions on the download of music apps C Arseny Moskvichev dreams of the day he can have a meaningful conversation with artificial intelligence. But the problem is that Large Language Models (LLMs) are complete amnesiacs. “Even the most advanced chatbots can only process about 16,000 words of text within a prompt (提示框) when in conversation with a human user,” says the cognitive and computer scientist. “They only have so much context they can attend to. If you’re out of this context, they forget everything you spoke about with them. And they can’t connect the information they receive during different ‘conversations’ with a human, or build a storyline.” To help chatbots improve their comprehension of the deep complexities (复杂性) of context, Moskvichev and his colleagues are teaching them to read novels, the way we might learn to read them in high school literature classes. The act of reading a novel might seem like an entertaining (娱乐的) pastime, but it requires intelligence. We use memory and complex comprehension to follow multiple characters through plots, scene changes, and narrative. The average novel averages around 80,000 words. All those words gradually build a story we hold and examine in our minds. But such skills are currently out of reach to LLMs, which can process text but cannot be said to read the way we do. Moskvichev and his group built a new database from 1,500 books. They train LLMs in reading comprehension by having the AI read a book in the database, analyzing long stretches of text, then asking it to find a correct scene summary from a pool of options. As a training tool the database offers more than a million questions for LLMs to practice on. However, to accurately summarize a book requires someone to read it, and design the training questions. “It’s very expensive to collect a data set of this type,” Moskvichev says. It is here that the scientists showed their power of creative imagination — they got ChatGPT-3.5 to summarize short book sections. It is an example of a machine being used to train a more powerful machine. While Moskvichev and his group have found the LLMs still make mistakes about half of the time, they have observed significant improvement in trained LLM performance versus untrained. “There’s still room for improvement,” Moskvichev says. 39. The underlined word “amnesiacs” in Para 1 refers to the people who ______. A. tend to forget things B. are poor at giving speech C. stick to one’s own opinion D. have trouble analyzing texts 40. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. What is related to humans and AI needs deep comprehension. B. What matters to AI may be of the same importance for humans. C. What humans do to relax themselves can be a big trouble for AI. D. What humans and AI share may be some seemingly simple skills. 41. For Moskvichev and his group, what is the challenge of building training tools for chatbots? A. Raising narrative ability. B. Seeking suitable novels. C. Designing training tools. D. Finding human resources. 42. What is Moskvichev’s attitude toward LLMs’ future? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Changing. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Traditions are a way of life for many people. They are passed down from generation to generation, often with little change over time. ____43____ Do they lose their meaning and significance, or do they adapt and become more connected to the current times? Traditions are often seen as unchanging parts of culture. However, they are not carved in stone. ____44____ For example, some traditional celebrations may include new activities or technologies that were not present in the past, but they still keep the key elements that make the celebration unique. ____45____ Some traditions may change due to the influence of other cultures or new technologies. Others may evolve (演变) due to shifts in values. A perfect example is wedding traditions. Modern weddings may absorb traditional aspects like the white dress, but may also include newer ideas like technology-enhanced design. When a tradition changes, there is always the possibility for it to lose its significance or meaning. For example, if a community’s traditional harvest celebration is changed to include new technology, it may not feel traditional anymore. ____46____ Those who have kept up with the changing times while still preserving their cultural heritage have found ways to revive their traditions and even make them more interesting and related to the general people. In conclusion, tradition is ever-evolving. ____47____ Instead, they give the traditions meaning and resonate (共鸣) with people in new and exciting ways. Thus, while traditions may change, they are still important to hold on to our identity and community. It is our responsibility to keep them alive. A. Traditions change for many reasons. B. Traditions can be changed or adapted. C Traditions usually adapt to meet changing times. D. But what happens when traditions start to evolve and change? E. The changes don’t necessarily mean that traditions become less important. F. As society becomes more global, technology continues to affect traditional customs. G. However, change can also help a tradition become more related to modern audiences. 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，31分） 第一节（共4小题；第48、49、50题各2分，第51题5分，共11分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 As a “third culture kid” I live a particularly interesting life growing up abroad in a culture different to that of my parents. My father is from the UK and working in the engineering industry means that he needs to work in various countries around the world. My mother is French, and I was born in Thailand, where I lived until I finished high school. I’m currently studying at the University of Bath in the UK. For me, “where are you from?” is the question that usually requires an in-depth explanation of my life story. Those who listen to someone’s accent in order to figure out where they’re from will definitely struggle after meeting a third culture kid. Given that you’ve lived in a few countries, you probably speak at least two languages fluently and end up mixing them together without noticing. However, that does not necessarily mean you speak much of the language of the countries you’ve lived in. You will, of course, know a few greetings and some directions to give taxi drivers, but you’ve grown accustomed to living in a country where you can’t understand everything that’s being said around you. You get used to people leaving when attending an international school where goodbyes are way too frequent. Once you leave for university, you’re moving countries instead of cities, away from childhood friends. It’s fair to say that third culture kids really know the meaning of friendship, after all, friendship that survives distance means friends for life, right? After living abroad and being exposed to (接触) the diversity of cultures people and history, it is nearly impossible for third culture kids not to continue travelling. Whether you choose to take a gap year, make the most of holidays or work, study or volunteer abroad—any opportunity to explore a new place is an opportunity not to be missed. Adventure and travelling are what we always long for. 48. Who are third culture kids? ________________________________________________________________________________ 49. Why do third culture kids really know the meaning of friendship? ________________________________________________________________________________ 50. What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph? ________________________________________________________________________________ 51. What do you think can be the benefit(s) of being exposed to the diversity of cultures?
