It holds a Michelin star, led by chef Jeppe Foldager who serves seasonal cuisine with materials farmed and hunted from the surrounding fields, forests and sea.

Noticing that the door was open, she entered the library, and was astonished to see the heartwarming scene that people were using it like on a regular day. It was scheduled to be closed for the New Year holiday. The people in the library behaved as usual. Many were sitting reading newspapers, some families were in the children's section and others were searching for books on the computer. It seemed that Elf's colleagues had simply forgotten to lock the door, and because this popular library is usually open on Saturdays. visitors just assumed they could walk in. Elf called to check with her staff team, before announcing to the people present that the library was about to close. Then she expressed her regret for what had been done wrong and caused them a problem. It later turns out that 446 locals visited the city library borrowing a total of 246 books during the day. What's remarkable is that people checked out their books through the library's electronic self-service system, and that to date, all the books have been returned! Many Swedes have reacted positively to this uplifting demonstration of local respect for the library, a center that can be seen as a sign of the community, and what the locals did has strengthened their sense of belonging in their community. Elf says, “Nothing was destroyed. It's amazing that Gothenburgers entered an empty library and treated and so lovingly.” The city leader has even suggested that this unusual Saturday serve as an accidental experiment to analyse the possibility of operating a totally automated library without staff. 4.

Next year, the organization will begin to rename around 80 species found in the U.S. and Canada. “There is power in a name, and some English bird names have associations with the past that continue to be exclusionary (排他的) and harmful today,” the organization’s president, Colleen Handel, said in a statement. “Everyone who loves and cares about birds should be able to enjoy and study them freely.” Rather than review each bird named after a person individually, all such birds will be renamed, the organization announced. Birds that will be renamed include those currently called Wilson’s warbler and Wilson’s snipe, both named after the 19th-century naturalist Alexander Wilson. Audubon’s shearwater, a seabird named for John James Audubon, also will get a new name. In 2020, the organization renamed a bird once referring to a Confederate Army general, John P. McCown, as the thick-billed longspur. “I’m really happy and excited about the announcement,” said Emily Williams, an ornithologist at Georgetown University who was not involved in the decision. She said heated discussions over bird names have been happening within birdwatching communities for the past several years. “Naming birds based on habitat or appearance is one of the least problematic approaches,” she said. Earlier this year, the National Audubon Society (NAS) announced that it would keep its name, even as critics and some voices within the organization have argued that it should dump (抛弃) the association with a man, John James Audubon, whose family treated their employees cruelly. “The name has come to represent so much more than the work of one person,” Susan Bell, chair of the National Audubon Society’s Board of Directors, told Audubon magazine in March, adding, “We shouldn’t ignore what John James Audubon did to his employees in the past.” 8. Why are some examples given in paragraph 3? A. To state naming birds after people is common practice. B. To show birds are closely related to people’s daily life. C. To introduce some famous naturalists to the readers. D. To stress the influence celebrities have on society. 9. How should birds be named according to Emily Williams? A. After their places of birth. B. Based on their communities. C. According to their habits. D. In terms of their living places. 10. What is Susan Bell’s attitude towards the decision of NAS? A. Supportive. B. Carefree. C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic. 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Rare Species Found in North America B. Bird Names Linking to Human History C. Discussions Caused by Bird Names D. Bird Species to Be Renamed Next Year 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了美国鸟类学会宣布将不再以人名命名北美洲的鸟类，并计划在未来一年内重新命名美国和加拿大发现的约80个物种。文章详细描述了这一决定的背景、原因以及相关的讨论和争议。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Rather than review each bird named after a person individually, all such birds will be renamed, the organization announced. Birds that will be renamed include those currently called Wilson’s warbler and Wilson’s snipe, both named after the 19th-century naturalist Alexander Wilson. Audubon’s shearwater, a seabird named for John James Audubon, also will get a new name. In 2020, the organization renamed a bird once referring to a Confederate Army general, John P. McCown, as the thick-billed longspur. (该组织宣布，所有鸟类都将重新命名，而不是单独审查每只以某个人命名的鸟类。将被重新命名的鸟类包括目前被称为威尔逊莺和威尔逊鹬的鸟类，它们都是以19世纪博物学家亚历山大威尔逊的名字命名的。奥杜邦的海鸥，一种以约翰·詹姆斯·奥杜邦命名的海鸟，也将得到一个新名字。2020年，该组织将一种曾经指联邦军队将军约翰·皮·麦考恩的鸟改名为厚嘴长刺鸟。)”可知，本段介绍了一些以人名命名的鸟类，目的是说明以人名给鸟类命名在过去是一种常见的做法。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句““Naming birds based on habitat or appearance is one of the least problematic approaches,” she said. (她说：“根据栖息地或外表给鸟类命名是问题最少的方法之一。”)”可知，Emily Williams建议根据栖息地或外表给鸟类命名。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Earlier this year, the National Audubon Society (NAS) announced that it would keep its name, even as critics and some voices within the organization have argued that it should dump (抛弃) the association with a man, John James Audubon, whose family treated their employees cruelly. (今年早些时候，美国国家奥杜邦协会（NAS）宣布将保留其名称，尽管批评人士和该组织内部的一些声音认为，它应该与约翰·詹姆斯·奥杜邦断绝关系，因为他的家人残忍地对待他们的员工。)”和最后一段中Susan Bell的话“We shouldn’t ignore what John James Audubon did to his employees in the past. (我们不应该忽视约翰·詹姆斯·奥杜邦过去对员工所做的一切。)”可知，Susan Bell对美国国家奥杜邦协会决定保留以翰·詹姆斯·奥杜邦命名的海鸟的名字这一做法持反对意见。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Birds in North America will no longer be named after people, the American Ornithological Society (美国鸟类学会) announced Wednesday. Next year, the organization will begin to rename around 80 species found in the U.S. and Canada. (美国鸟类学会周三宣布，北美的鸟类将不再以人的名字命名。明年，该组织将开始重新命名在美国和加拿大发现的大约80个物种。)”可知，文章主要报道了美国鸟类学会宣布将不再以人名命名北美洲的鸟类，并计划在未来一年内重新命名美国和加拿大发现的约80个物种。文章详细描述了这一决定的背景、原因以及相关的讨论和争议。D选项“Bird Species to Be Renamed Next Year (明年鸟类将被重新命名)”最适合作文章标题。故选D。 D As Geoffrey Hinton, widely seen as the godfather of artificial intelligence, warns about growing dangers from how it is developing, businesses are scrambling to see how they can use the technology to their advantage. Recently, the hot topic is how to employ ChatGPT style technology across their businesses as quickly as possible. A boss looked at his computer, entered the transcript of a customer complaint call, and asked ChatGPT to respond to it based on set of rules. In about a minute it came up with a very credible answer, which was 85% accurate but only cost 1% of the cost of employing staff. The good news for all is the pure enhancement to productivity. Technology has improved the quality of life. A lot of innovation has made our entertainment time more enjoyable. But the real shock has been that these technologies are usable in a commercial context, not just for “low-cognitive, repetitive” tasks, i. e. robotic-tasks likely to be automated. The surprise has been how employable the technology is to highly creative, high-value work. Specifically, creating an image, or music, or coding a programme can be achieved in seconds rather than weeks of briefing and refining. So the good news is that rapid employment of this technology could solve the longstanding productivity crisis. The bad news is that it could occur so rapidly as to overtake workers’ ability to adapt in time, creating social crisis. Could we face in call centers and creative studios in the 2020s, the equivalent of what happened in the coal mines in the 1980s? Some individuals have started to suggest that states should provide a basic income due to the possibility of AI leading to job loss. The response of tech enthusiasts is that “You won’t be replaced by an AI, but you might be replaced by someone who knows how to use AI”. But they used to say that’s why everybody should learn how to code. That might not be such wise career advice any more. 12. What do we learn about ChatGPT? A. It improves customers’ satisfaction. B. It enhances productivity and reduces cost. C. It perfects customers’ ability to summarize. D. It revolutionizes the business with accuracy. 13. How has technology influenced individuals? A. By enriching leisure time. B. By increasing dependence. C. By simplifying people’s work. D. By reshaping entertainment forms. 14. What does the underlined word “equivalent” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Alternative. B. Opposite. C. Similarity. D. Reference. 15. What is the author s attitude towards the application of AI? A. Intolerant. B. Favorable. C. Indifferent. D. Objective. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了被广泛视为人工智能教父的杰弗里•辛顿(Geoffrey Hinton)警告称，人工智能的发展方式带来的危险越来越大，企业正在争先恐后地寻找如何利用这项技术为自己服务。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A boss looked at his computer, entered the transcript of a customer complaint call, and asked ChatGPT to respond to it based on set of rules. In about a minute it came up with a very credible answer, which was 85% accurate but only cost 1% of the cost of employing staff. The good news for all is the pure enhancement to productivity.”（一位老板看着他的电脑，输入了一个客户投诉电话的文字记录，并要求ChatGPT根据一套规则做出回应。大约一分钟后，它就得出了一个非常可信的答案，准确率达到85%，但只花费了雇佣员工成本的1%。对所有人来说，好消息是生产率的纯粹提高。）可知，关于ChatGPT我们知道，它提高了生产率，降低了成本。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Technology has improved the quality of life. A lot of innovation has made our entertainment time more enjoyable.”（科技提高了生活质量。许多创新使我们的娱乐时间更加愉快。）可知，科技是通过丰富闲暇时间来影响个人的，故选A项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The bad news is that it could occur so rapidly as to overtake workers’ ability to adapt in time, creating social crisis.”（坏消息是，它可能发生得如此之快，以至于超过了工人的适应能力，从而造成社会危机。）以及划线单词句中“Could we face in call centers and creative studios in the 2020s,…what happened in the coal mines in the 1980s?”（在21世纪20年代，我们会在呼叫中心和创意工作室面临……20世纪80年代煤矿发生的事情吗？）可推知，人工智能的发展可能会造成社会危机，划线词所在句应该讲述不好的事情，此处为我们会在呼叫中心和创意工作室面临类似于20世纪80年代煤矿发生的事情吗？故可猜测，划线单词equivalent为“类似”的意思，结合选项C项Similarity“相似性”意思一致。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some individuals have started to suggest that states should provide a basic income due to the possibility of AI leading to job loss. The response of tech enthusiasts is that “You won’t be replaced by an AI, but you might be replaced by someone who knows how to use AI”. But they used to say that’s why everybody should learn how to code. That might not be such wise career advice any more.”（一些人开始建议，由于人工智能可能导致失业，国家应该提供基本收入。科技爱好者的回应是：“你不会被人工智能取代，但你可能会被懂得如何使用人工智能的人取代。”但他们过去常说，这就是为什么每个人都应该学习如何编程。这可能不再是明智的职业建议了。）可推知，对人工智能的应用，作者并未有明确或褒或贬的个人观点，可得出作者对人工智能持客观的态度。故选D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。 Whether someone makes you angry, you’re upset with yourself, or you’re just having a bad day, one of the best ways to direct your angry energy is through exercise.

It called on college students to care for local extremely poor kids by leading them to our cafeteria and helping them enjoy a good lunch every Sunday for four months. The charity would pay for the kids’ meals. My schoolmate Molly and I signed up as volunteers. Then, the charity helped us contact a local poor family. The family had a kindergarten girl Melissa. That Sunday morning, Molly and I took the school bus and reached the family. When seeing a shabby house, we were touched. We nervously knocked on the door. Melissa opened it and looked up at us, seemingly wondering, “Could these girls be trusted?” Still, she welcomed us in. After communicating with her parents for a while, Melissa gave us a tour of their home. “Here is the TV. Here is the picture I drew,” she said. Her parents, quiet in chairs, watched her and smiled. “Here is my brother, who died,” Melissa added. Molly and I just broke inside. Just then, Melissa’s mother called her. Melissa walked over to her, who secretly told her something. Then Melissa came to us, smiling, “Mama said my brother lived inside our heart forever.” After a short silence, Molly and I chatted a lot with Melissa’s parents. Then, waving goodbye to her parents, Melissa held my hand and Molly’s and happily got on our bus. All the way, Melissa appeared excited. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Finally, we reached the cafeteria. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Melissa stood up, saying, “Can I bring some grapes home for my family?” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Finally, we reached the cafeteria. It was alive with kids and volunteers. Melissa followed us to the food counter, marveling at the variety of food. “Wow! They must be yummy.” Hearing her words, I began to explain the different options available, while Molly filled her tray with what she selected. As we sat down at a table, Melissa couldn’t wait to savor every bite. Her face lit up with satisfaction, reminding us of the importance of our mission. Sensing a kid with some leftovers leaving the cafeteria, Melissa paused, looking at the food counter. “Do you need anything else?” I smiled. Melissa stood up, saying, “Can I bring some grapes home for my family?” She looked at us, adding, “I think nothing is sweeter than grapes here.” Molly and I exchanged glances and nodded, touched by her thoughtfulness. On the bus ride back, Melissa held a bag of grapes gently as if they were treasures. Hardly had she stepped into the house when she shared her experience and the delicious grapes with her family, which melted our hearts. Over the next few months, we witnessed the positive impact of our presence. As summer ended, we reflected on our experience and continued volunteering, knowing that even the smallest acts of kindness could make a big difference. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了去年夏天，学院慈善机构发起了“大哥哥大姐姐”活动，带领贫困儿童去自助餐厅享用午餐。作者和同学莫莉成为志愿者，去贫困家庭拜访梅丽莎，并带着梅丽莎回学院享用午餐。梅丽莎很享受这里的午餐，当她看见有人带走剩饭菜时，她也想给家人带点葡萄回去，因为这里的葡萄比别的食物都甜。梅丽莎回家后分享吃饭的经历和带回家的葡萄，一家人乐融融的场景触动了作者，几个月的陪伴使作者和莫利见证了这一家的变化，也坚定了传播善意的想法。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最后，我们到了自助餐厅。”可知，第一段可描写作者和同学莫莉带着梅丽莎第一次去吃自助餐时，小姑娘面对食物时的迫不及待和满足，当看见别的孩子把一些剩菜带离自助餐厅时，她暂停吃饭动作，引起了作者的询问。 ②由第二段首句内容“梅丽莎站起来，说：‘我能带一些葡萄回家给我的家人吗？’”可知，第二段可描写作者和莫莉满足她的请求，梅丽莎回家后和家人分享自己的经历和葡萄，以及作者和莫莉也决定继续做志愿者传递爱。 2. 续写线索：到达餐厅——挑选食物就餐——看见别人带走剩饭菜——想给家人带葡萄——分享经历和葡萄——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/clarify/explicate ②挑选：select/choose/pick ③坐下：sit down/take a seat ④享用：savor/enjoy ⑤微笑：smile/beam 情绪类 ①满足：satisfaction/contentment/gratification ②融化我们的心：melt our hearts/move us/touch us 【点睛】[高分句型1] Sensing a kid with some leftovers leaving the cafeteria, Melissa paused, looking at the food counter.

B One Saturday in December, Annacarin Elf, the head of operations at Gothenburg City Library, just happened to walk by her workplace. Noticing that the door was open, she entered the library, and was astonished to see the heartwarming scene that people were using it like on a regular day. It was scheduled to be closed for the New Year holiday. The people in the library behaved as usual. Many were sitting reading newspapers, some families were in the children's section and others were searching for books on the computer. It seemed that Elf's colleagues had simply forgotten to lock the door, and because this popular library is usually open on Saturdays. visitors just assumed they could walk in. Elf called to check with her staff team, before announcing to the people present that the library was about to close. Then she expressed her regret for what had been done wrong and caused them a problem. It later turns out that 446 locals visited the city library borrowing a total of 246 books during the day. What's remarkable is that people checked out their books through the library's electronic self-service system, and that to date, all the books have been returned! Many Swedes have reacted positively to this uplifting demonstration of local respect for the library, a center that can be seen as a sign of the community, and what the locals did has strengthened their sense of belonging in their community. Elf says, “Nothing was destroyed. It's amazing that Gothenburgers entered an empty library and treated and so lovingly.” The city leader has even suggested that this unusual Saturday serve as an accidental experiment to analyse the possibility of operating a totally automated library without staff. 4. Why did Elf feel surprised after entering the library? A. The library staff were in it. B. People kept reading on holidays. C. People came in without permission. D. It was used though supposed to be closed. 5. What did Elf do that Saturday? A. She left the library open. B. She asked the staff back. C. She apologized to the visitors. D. She read books in the library. 6. What do many Swedes think of the behavior of Gothenburg locals? A. It displays community spirit. B. It gives the library much uplift. C. It is a positive reaction to society. D. It strengthens trust between people. 7. What does the author want to convey through the story? A People tend to show care for others. B. Life is always full of the unexpected. C. Libraries can be automated sometimes. D. A library can bring out the best in people. C Birds in North America will no longer be named after people, the American Ornithological Society (美国鸟类学会) announced Wednesday. Next year, the organization will begin to rename around 80 species found in the U.S. and Canada. “There is power in a name, and some English bird names have associations with the past that continue to be exclusionary (排他的) and harmful today,” the organization’s president, Colleen Handel, said in a statement. “Everyone who loves and cares about birds should be able to enjoy and study them freely.” Rather than review each bird named after a person individually, all such birds will be renamed, the organization announced. Birds that will be renamed include those currently called Wilson’s warbler and Wilson’s snipe, both named after the 19th-century naturalist Alexander Wilson. Audubon’s shearwater, a seabird named for John James Audubon, also will get a new name. In 2020, the organization renamed a bird once referring to a Confederate Army general, John P. McCown, as the thick-billed longspur. “I’m really happy and excited about the announcement,” said Emily Williams, an ornithologist at Georgetown University who was not involved in the decision. She said heated discussions over bird names have been happening within birdwatching communities for the past several years. “Naming birds based on habitat or appearance is one of the least problematic approaches,” she said. Earlier this year, the National Audubon Society (NAS) announced that it would keep its name, even as critics and some voices within the organization have argued that it should dump (抛弃) the association with a man, John James Audubon, whose family treated their employees cruelly. “The name has come to represent so much more than the work of one person,” Susan Bell, chair of the National Audubon Society’s Board of Directors, told Audubon magazine in March, adding, “We shouldn’t ignore what John James Audubon did to his employees in the past.” 8. Why are some examples given in paragraph 3? A. To state naming birds after people is common practice. B. To show birds are closely related to people’s daily life. C. To introduce some famous naturalists to the readers. D To stress the influence celebrities have on society. 9. How should birds be named according to Emily Williams? A. After their places of birth. B. Based on their communities. C. According to their habits. D. In terms of their living places. 10. What is Susan Bell’s attitude towards the decision of NAS? A. Supportive. B. Carefree. C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic. 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Rare Species Found in North America B. Bird Names Linking to Human History C. Discussions Caused by Bird Names D. Bird Species to Be Renamed Next Year D As Geoffrey Hinton, widely seen as the godfather of artificial intelligence, warns about growing dangers from how it is developing, businesses are scrambling to see how they can use the technology to their advantage. Recently, the hot topic is how to employ ChatGPT style technology across their businesses as quickly as possible. A boss looked at his computer, entered the transcript of a customer complaint call, and asked ChatGPT to respond to it based on set of rules. In about a minute it came up with a very credible answer, which was 85% accurate but only cost 1% of the cost of employing staff. The good news for all is the pure enhancement to productivity. Technology has improved the quality of life. A lot of innovation has made our entertainment time more enjoyable. But the real shock has been that these technologies are usable in a commercial context, not just for “low-cognitive, repetitive” tasks, i. e. robotic-tasks likely to be automated. The surprise has been how employable the technology is to highly creative, high-value work. Specifically, creating an image, or music, or coding a programme can be achieved in seconds rather than weeks of briefing and refining. So the good news is that rapid employment of this technology could solve the longstanding productivity crisis.

The charity would pay for the kids’ meals. My schoolmate Molly and I signed up as volunteers. Then, the charity helped us contact a local poor family. The family had a kindergarten girl Melissa. That Sunday morning, Molly and I took the school bus and reached the family. When seeing a shabby house, we were touched. We nervously knocked on the door. Melissa opened it and looked up at us, seemingly wondering, “Could these girls be trusted?” Still, she welcomed us in. After communicating with her parents for a while, Melissa gave us a tour of their home. “Here is the TV. Here is the picture I drew,” she said. Her parents, quiet in chairs, watched her and smiled. “Here is my brother, who died,” Melissa added. Molly and I just broke inside. Just then, Melissa’s mother called her. Melissa walked over to her, who secretly told her something. Then Melissa came to us, smiling, “Mama said my brother lived inside our heart forever.” After a short silence, Molly and I chatted a lot with Melissa’s parents. Then, waving goodbye to her parents, Melissa held my hand and Molly’s and happily got on our bus. All the way, Melissa appeared excited. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Finally, we reached the cafeteria. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Melissa stood up, saying, “Can I bring some grapes home for my family?” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
