Elli Goldstein, who has Down Syndrome(唐氏综合征), stars in a Gucci beauty campaign for a mascara product. Her mom says the February photoshoot. now being featured in Italian Vogue, took around six hours. Elli is from Ilford Essex in the UK. This isn't Elli’s first appearance in the worldwide spotlight. She’s been featured in London’s famous National Portrait Gallery and has danced at the Royal Opera House. The model has appeared in TV commercials and videos for a famous film festival. She even made a dance video of her own during the pandemic(流行病) to cheer people up. “Elli was born to have this outgoing personality. She loves the camera. She loves the films. ” Her mom says nothing holds her back. She lives life to the fullest. That positive energy appears to be paying off. Elli’s modeling picture posted on the Gucci beauty Instagram account was the most liked post ever. “We want to increase the representation of people who have until now been excluded in the media,” said Peterson, Elli’s agent. “You know, it’s about time that we welcomed different models with different disability.” “Just follow our dreams and add passions to our life.” The photographer for Elli’s Gucci photoshoot says he aims to show that beauty is everywhere. It exists in every person. 24. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Elli’s appearance. B. Elli’s inspiration. C. Elli’s childhood life. D. Elli’s achievements. 25. Which of the following best describes Elli? A. Determined and positive. B. Optimistic and easygoing. C. Respectful and straight. D. Honest and fashionable. 26. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in Para.4? A. Resisted. B. Criticized. C. Admitted. D. Highlighted. 27. What does the photographer want to convey? A. Better late than never. B. Life is full of the unexpected. C. Beauty has no boundaries. D. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. C We are seeing the risks that A. I. presents to society. Deep fakes, a form of photoshop that creates realistic images with the help of A. I. learning, has been used for news reports. Chatbots and A. I. software have a well-documented history of showing racist behavior. The potential widespread job loss at the hands of A. I. puts us all at risk for economic and political trouble. In response, many people have called for increased regulation ( 监 管 ). But most policymakers simply do not understand artificial intelligence enough to carry out meaningful regulations, and the speed at which A. I. is progressing makes it nearly impossible for them to catch up. The real solution? An A. I. pause, a short-time stop. Already, the idea has been supported by over 1,100 individuals involved in the artificial intelligence community. Under an A. I. pause, no development or research, academic or business, could be done to advance artificial intelligence beyond a certain “power level”. This would give governments the time to analyze and regulate the artificial intelligence field. They would be able to establish policies to protect the jobs of groups like truck drivers whose jobs could be destroyed by A. I.-driven cars. They could create bottom-line standards for crime recognition software to pass before it could be used by local police. On top of that, an A. I. pause could also be good to the companies and research groups developing A. I. models. A pause in the “A. I. arms race” could allow groups like OpenAI to devote more resources to addressing the faults in their current A. I. software rather than rushing to develop more advanced models. A pause could finally lead to a better final product. A. I. could be one of the most beneficial inventions to the human race, but it could also be one of the most societally cataclysmic. With an A. I. pause, we'll have the opportunity to improve upon and understand A. I. technology, while ensuring that its development is in harmony with our society. 28. What does the author imply in paragraph 2? A. A. I. is growing under control. B. Regulations make little difference. C. The government won't fail to regulate A. I. D. Politicians should keep a closer eye on A. I. 29. What is the main idea of paragraphs 4 and 5? A. The reasons for an A. I. pause. B. The problems of an A. I. pause. C. The definition of an A. I. pause. D. The benefits of an A. I. pause. 30. What does the “A. I. arms race” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. A contest to build arms for robots. B. A contest to develop A. I. for the military. C. A competition for advanced A. I. technologies. D. A competition for A. I.-powered sports equipment. 31. What does the underlined word “cataclysmic” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Disastrous. B. Inspiring. C. Beneficial. D. Widespread. D Will chatbots that can generate(生成) fascinating articles destroy education as we know it? New York City’s Department of Education recently banned the use of ChatGPT. “While the tool may be able to provide quick and easy answers to questions,” says the official statement, “it does not build critical-thinking skills, which are necessary for academic and lifelong success.” Banning such use of technology from the classroom is a nearsighted response. Instead, we must find a way forward in which such technologies combine well with, rather than replace, student thinking. Banning ChatGPT is impossible in practice. Students will find ways around the ban, which will cause a further defensive response from teachers and administrators, and so on. It’s hard to believe that a close race between those digital natives and their educators will end in a decisive victory for the latter. In fact, chatbots may well speed up a trend toward valuing critical thinking. In a world where computers can fluently answer any question, students need to get much better at deciding what questions to ask and how to fact-check the answers the program generates. So how do we encourage young people to use their minds when real thinking is so hard to tell apart from its simulacrum (假象)? Teachers, of course, will still want to watch students taking old-fashioned, in-person, no-chatbot-allowed exams to check that they do not cheat. But we must also figure out how to do something new: how to use tools like GPT to inspire deeper thinking. GPT often generates text that is fluent and “reasonable” — but wrong. So using it requires the same mental heavy lifting that writing does: forming an opinion, creating an outline, picking which points to explain and which to drop, and looking for supporting facts. GPT can help with those tasks, but it can’t put them all together. Writing a good essay still requires lots of human thought and work. Indeed, writing is thinking, and good writing is good thinking. One approach is to focus on the process as much as the result. For instance, teachers might require four drafts of an essay. After all, as John McPhee, the famous writer, said, “the central nature of the process is revision.” Each draft gets feedback from the teacher, from peers or even from a chatbot. Then the students produce the next draft, and so on. Will AI one day outperform human beings in thinking? Maybe, but for now, we must think for ourselves. Like any tool, GPT is an enemy of thinking only if we fail to find ways to make it our partner. 32. How does the author feel about the ban? A. Understandable. B. Irresponsible. C. Unwise. D. Necessary. 33. Why is it impossible to ban ChatGPT in practice? A. Because students are digitally fluent. B. Because schools will defend the ban. C. Because ChatGPT will keep developing. D. Because people treasure critical thinking. 34. How does the author explain his idea in Paragraph 6? A. By quoting others. B. By presenting facts. C. By giving examples. D. By showing similarities. 35. What is the passage mainly about? A. Is GPT a process or a result? B. Will GPT outperform students? C. Why Chatbots become a new trend? D. How can Chatbots serve education? 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。 Not all great writers are great spellers.If you want to be published, it's vital to hand in a perfect, professionally presented manuscript (原稿). 36 No editor is likely to favor a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly. I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus(同义词词典). I don't trust my laptop's spellchecker. 37 Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I'm old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus. 38 It should give you an exact definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not same. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced. In addition, I have an old two-volume（两卷） copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it's not exactly short. It contains around 163,000 words, plus word combinations and phrases. 39 —— However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there's nothing better. For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755. “To make dictionaries is dull(乏味)work,” wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of “dull”. 40 . A few minutes spent focusing your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience. A. I don't often use this dictionary. B. It gives no consideration to the context. C. But I still don't want to replace them. D. But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read. E. Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling. F. That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes. G Dictionaries don't always give you enough information. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） Some years ago, I was stuck on a crosstown bus during the rush hour.

The box had a picture of a pretty girl. She was wearing white ice skates and turning around a frozen pond. Cali looked up at her aunt and uncle with her big brown eyes. “Figure skates? Wow! How nice of you! But," the little girl hesitated,“... but I don't know how to skate.” She looked embarrassed. “Don’t worry” said Aunt Lisa. “That's the fun part - learning how to do it!” “That's right said Uncle George“ We will take you to the ice rink(冰场) and all go skating together.” “I don't know..." said Cali. She wasn't too sure she was going to be able to do it. Sometimes she had a hard time learning new things. She looked again at the happy girl on the box. It did look like fun. Cali imagined herself moving and turning on the ice like a real figure skater “Okay." she agreed. “Let's do it!” The next day Cali went to the skating rink with her aunt and uncle. Her eyes twinkled and her face lit up with excitement as she looked at the other skaters around her. She sat down on the bench and slipped her feet into the skates. Holding the strings in her fingers, she could not figure out how to tie them up.“ I don’t know how to do it," she said. She felt sad that this was another thing she couldn't do. “Let me show you." Her aunt bent down on one knee, explaining how to put the strings around the small hooks(钩子). Then she tied them into a tight bow(蝴蝶结). "Now you do the other skate yourself. I’ll help you if you need it.” Cali bent over the skate and did what her aunt had showed her. After a few tries, she worked out how to cross the strings around the hooks. “You did it!” smiled her aunt, patting Cali on the back. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para.1 “Time to hit the ice," her uncle said.
