Are you a football fan? If so, you may have seen referees(裁判)show yellow or red cards. These cards have been used in football for more than 50 years. A yellow card is used to warn(警告)a player. A red card is for a player being sent off. If a player breaks a rule, he or she will usually get a yellow card. If a player behaves very badly or gets two yellow cards, he or she will get a red card.
A few years ago, the PFF(葡萄牙足球协会)introduced the use of white cards. You might think a white card must be for something even worse. But in fact, it is used for good things. The PFF hopes the white card will encourage sports spirit and fair games.
On January 21, a football match was held in Portugal(葡萄牙). It was between two women’s football teams. Campos was the referee of the match. During the match, a football fan fell ill. Medical workers of both teams quickly went to help the football fan. After it, Campos held up a white card.
The card was for the work of the medical teams. Many fans cheered for the decision. Campos became the first referee in history to use the new white card.
Portugal is the only country that has introduced the white card in football. Do you think more countries should copy this idea?

The next night, we tied the raft(木筏)to a tree on a small island in the middle of the river. The king and the duke started makíng plans for cheating(欺骗)pcople in those places.
“We can’t do the Nonesuch show again,” the duke said. “News travels fast on the river. People will know about it. We’ll have to think of a new trick.”
“well, while you are thinking, I’ll go and have a look around one of the villages,” the king said.“Huck! Put your new clothes on, then get the canoe(独木舟)!”
We all had new clothes. The king’s new clothes changed him completely. He looked like an honest man!
We got into the canoe and left the duke and Jim at the raft. There was a big steamboat further up the river and when the king saw it, he said, “We’ll take that steamboat to the village, Huck! People will think we’re important if we arrive on a boat from St. Louis.”
On the way to the steamboat, we passed a young man on the side of the river. He had two large bags.
“Hello!” The king shouted. “Where are you going, young man? ”
“To New Orleans,” he replied.
“We are catching it, too,” the king said. “We’ll take you to it. My servant will take your bags.” He turned and spoke to me.
“Jump out and help the man, Adolphus! ”
“OK,” I said. The man was very happy because his bags were heavy. He sat down and started chatting with the king.
“When I saw you, I said to myself, ‘That’s Mr Wilks. He has arrived in time.’ But you’re going up the river, not down it. So you aren’t him, are you? ” the man said.
“No, my name’s Blodgett-Reverend Alexander Blodgett,” the king replied. “But I'm sorry Mr Wilks didn’t arrive in time. I hope he didn’t miss anything.”
“He missed seeing his brother Peter,” the young man said. “Because poor Peter died last night. He really wanted to see his brother Harvey again. They were only boys when they last saw each other. Harvey wasn’t his only brother. There were two more--George and William. George and Peter were the only ones in the family to come to America. William is the youngest one in his family and was born after Peter left and he never saw him,” the young man said.
—Taken from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

A company called OpenAI has recently announced a new version (版本) of its AI artist, DALL-E 2. Given just a short sentence describing a picture, the tool can create different pictures in many different styles.
The name “DALL-E” mixes the name of the robot in the movie WALL-E, and the name of the famous Spanish artist Salvador Dalí. He painted amazing, but impossible pictures. Like Dalí, DALL-E 2 can create pictures that are unbelievable, for example, Teddy bears doing crazy experiments as scientists.
OpenAI has already changed the world once with its AI writing tool, GPT-3. GPT-3 was trained on a great deal of writing in many different styles. When it was released (发布) in 2020, it surprised people by quickly creating complete, well-written articles in different styles. It is so powerful that OpenAI has tried to be prudent when it comes to how it allows people to use the tool, to make sure that it isn’t used for harmful purposes.
DALL-E actually grew out of an effort to apply (应用) GPT-3 to pictures. OpenAI released the first version of DALL-E in 2021. DALL-E 2 is even more powerful. DALL-E 2 has been trained on huge numbers of pictures with matching descriptions, which means it “knows” a lot about how different things look, even when they’re shown in different styles, such as a photo, a painting or even a cartoon.
The user can select an area of an image (图像) and ask DALL-E 2 to put something into the picture, or take it out. Some artists are worried that it will take their place if a computer system can create such high-quality pictures so easily. OpenAI says the tool will allow artists to be creative in new ways.
To make sure the tool isn’t misused, OpenAI already has strict rules about the types of pictures that can be created with DALL-E. One of those rules prevents DALL-E from creating realistic pictures of actual (真实的) people. By now, the company hasn’t released DALL-E 2. Instead, it is allowing a small number of people to work with the tool to learn more about what works well, and to discover possible problems.
42. The name “DALL-E” comes from __________.
A. a film and a robot B. a toy and a robot
C. an artist and a robot D. a company and a movie
43. What does the underlined word “prudent” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Careful. B. Confident. C. Patient. D. Modest.
44. The most suitable place for the sentence “Does DALL-E 2 have anything new?” is __________.
A. at the beginning of Paragraph 3 B. at the beginning of Paragraph 4
C. at the beginning of Paragraph 5 D. at the beginning of Paragraph 6
45. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How DALL-E 2 Makes Use of GPT-3 B. Why OpenAI Develops Its DALL-E 2
C. DALL-E 2 Helps Offer Artists New Jobs D. From Words, DALL-E 2 Creates Pictures
四、根据句子意思, 用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。(每空一词)
46. A sudden stop can be an unpleasant experience, ________ if you are travelling at high speed. (尤其)

48. In those days it was not thought entirely ________ for a woman to be on the stage. (符合习俗的)
49. She has put away our ________ presents and then treated them warmly. (亲戚)

“well, while you are thinking, I’ll go and have a look around one of the villages,” the king said.“Huck! Put your new clothes on, then get the canoe(独木舟)!”
We all had new clothes. The king’s new clothes changed him completely. He looked like an honest man!
We got into the canoe and left the duke and Jim at the raft. There was a big steamboat further up the river and when the king saw it, he said, “We’ll take that steamboat to the village, Huck! People will think we’re important if we arrive on a boat from St. Louis.”
On the way to the steamboat, we passed a young man on the side of the river. He had two large bags.
“Hello!” The king shouted. “Where are you going, young man? ”
“To New Orleans,” he replied.
“We are catching it, too,” the king said. “We’ll take you to it. My servant will take your bags.” He turned and spoke to me.
“Jump out and help the man, Adolphus! ”
“OK,” I said. The man was very happy because his bags were heavy. He sat down and started chatting with the king.
“When I saw you, I said to myself, ‘That’s Mr Wilks. He has arrived in time.’ But you’re going up the river, not down it. So you aren’t him, are you? ” the man said.
“No, my name’s Blodgett-Reverend Alexander Blodgett,” the king replied. “But I'm sorry Mr Wilks didn’t arrive in time. I hope he didn’t miss anything.”
“He missed seeing his brother Peter,” the young man said. “Because poor Peter died last night. He really wanted to see his brother Harvey again. They were only boys when they last saw each other. Harvey wasn’t his only brother. There were two more--George and William. George and Peter were the only ones in the family to come to America. William is the youngest one in his family and was born after Peter left and he never saw him,” the young man said.

A company called OpenAI has recently announced a new version (版本) of its AI artist, DALL-E 2. Given just a short sentence describing a picture, the tool can create different pictures in many different styles.
The name “DALL-E” mixes the name of the robot in the movie WALL-E, and the name of the famous Spanish artist Salvador Dalí. He painted amazing, but impossible pictures. Like Dalí, DALL-E 2 can create pictures that are unbelievable, for example, Teddy bears doing crazy experiments as scientists.
OpenAI has already changed the world once with its AI writing tool, GPT-3. GPT-3 was trained on a great deal of writing in many different styles. When it was released (发布) in 2020, it surprised people by quickly creating complete, well-written articles in different styles. It is so powerful that OpenAI has tried to be prudent when it comes to how it allows people to use the tool, to make sure that it isn’t used for harmful purposes.
DALL-E actually grew out of an effort to apply (应用) GPT-3 to pictures. OpenAI released the first version of DALL-E in 2021. DALL-E 2 is even more powerful. DALL-E 2 has been trained on huge numbers of pictures with matching descriptions, which means it “knows” a lot about how different things look, even when they’re shown in different styles, such as a photo, a painting or even a cartoon.
The user can select an area of an image (图像) and ask DALL-E 2 to put something into the picture, or take it out. Some artists are worried that it will take their place if a computer system can create such high-quality pictures so easily. OpenAI says the tool will allow artists to be creative in new ways.
To make sure the tool isn’t misused, OpenAI already has strict rules about the types of pictures that can be created with DALL-E. One of those rules prevents DALL-E from creating realistic pictures of actual (真实的) people. By now, the company hasn’t released DALL-E 2. Instead, it is allowing a small number of people to work with the tool to learn more about what works well, and to discover possible problems.
42. The name “DALL-E” comes from __________.
A. a film and a robot B. a toy and a robot
C. an artist and a robot D. a company and a movie
43. What does the underlined word “prudent” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Careful. B. Confident. C. Patient. D. Modest.
44. The most suitable place for the sentence “Does DALL-E 2 have anything new?” is __________.
A. at the beginning of Paragraph 3 B. at the beginning of Paragraph 4
C. at the beginning of Paragraph 5 D. at the beginning of Paragraph 6
45. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How DALL-E 2 Makes Use of GPT-3 B. Why OpenAI Develops Its DALL-E 2
C. DALL-E 2 Helps Offer Artists New Jobs D. From Words, DALL-E 2 Creates Pictures
【答案】42. C 43. A 44. C 45. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了OpenAI公司最近宣布了其人工智能艺术家DALL-E 2的新版本,只需一句描述图片的短句,该工具就可以创建多种不同风格的不同图片。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The name ‘DALL-E’ mixes the name of the robot in the movie WALL-E, and the name of the famous Spanish artist Salvador Dalí.”可知这个名字混合了电影《WALL-E》中机器人的名字和西班牙著名艺术家萨尔瓦多·达利的名字。故选C。
【43题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“It is so powerful that OpenAI has tried to be prudent when it comes to how it allows people to use the tool, to make sure that it isn’t used for harmful purposes.”可知它是如此强大,以至于OpenAI在如何允许人们使用该工具时试图保持谨慎,以确保它不会被用于有害目的,故此处划线部分和careful意义相近。故选A。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The user can select an area of an image (图像) and ask DALL-E 2 to put something into the picture, or take it out...OpenAI says the tool will allow artists to be creative in new ways.”可知用户可以选择图像的一个区域,并要求DALL-E 2将一些东西放入图片中,或将其取出,该工具将允许艺术家以新的方式进行创作,这是DALL-E 2的新应用,故“DALL-E 2有什么新东西吗”放在第五段的开头。故选C。
