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 to cheer people up.(Elli来自英国埃塞克斯的伊尔福德。这不是EIli第一次出现在全球聚光灯下。她曾出现在伦敦著名的国家肖像画廊，还曾在皇家歌剧院跳舞。这名模特曾出现在一个著名电影节的电视广告和视频中。她甚至在疫情期间制作了自己的舞蹈视频来鼓舞人们。)”可知，第二段的主要内容是Elli的成就。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Her mom says nothing holds her back. She lives life to the fullest. That positive energy appears to be paying off.(她妈妈说没有什么能阻止她。她过着充实的生活。这种正能量似乎正在得到回报。)”可知，Elli是个内心坚定且积极的人。故选A。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段“ “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.”(Elli的经纪人Peterson表示:“我们希望增加那些迄今为止被媒体excluded的人的代表权。你知道，是时候我们欢迎有着不同残疾的不同模特了。)”可推知，媒体存在歧视，抵制残疾人群，把残疾群体排除在外。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““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.(“只要追随我们的梦想，给我们的生活增添激情。”为Elli拍摄Gucci照片的摄影师说，他的目标是要展示美无处不在。它存在于每个人身上。)”可知，摄影师想要传达美丽没有界限。故选C。 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 wiped out 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 ultimately lead to a superior 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. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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. 11. What does the underlined word “cataclysmic” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Disastrous. B. Inspiring. C. Beneficial. D. Widespread. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述人工智能给社会带来潜在的风险，对此真正的解决方案是暂停AI系统开发，并描述了这样做的好处。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“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.(对此，许多人呼吁加强监管。但大多数政策制定者对人工智能的了解还不足以实施有意义的法规，而人工智能的发展速度使他们几乎不可能赶上)”可知，监管没有什么作用。故选B。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“This would give governments the time to analyze and regulate the artificial intelligence field.(这将使政府有时间分析和规范人工智能领域)”和第五段中“On top of that, an A. I. pause could also be good to the companies and research groups developing A. I. models.(最重要的是，暂停人工智能也可能对开发人工智能模型的公司和研究团体有好处)”可知，这两段讲述了暂停AI开发的好处，故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“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.(最重要的是，暂停人工智能也可能对开发人工智能模型的公司和研究团体有好处。‘人工智能军备竞赛’的暂停可以让像OpenAI这样的组织投入更多的资源来解决他们当前人工智能软件中的缺陷，而不是急于开发更先进的模型)”可知，“人工智能军备竞赛”指的是开发先进人工智能技术的竞赛，故选C。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前“A. I. could be one of the most beneficial inventions to the human race(人工智能可能是对人类最有益的发明之一)”和转折词but可知，此处是描述人工智能的利弊，指“但它也可能是最具社会灾难性的发明之一”，cataclysmic意为“灾难性的”，故选A。 D Will chatbots that can generate fascinating articles destroy education as we know it? New York City’s Department of Education recently banned (禁止) 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 (趋向) 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. 12. How does the author feel about the ban? A. Understandable. B. Irresponsible. C. Unwise. D. Necessary. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. 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? 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。针对纽约市教育部门最近禁止使用ChatGPT的事件，作者进行了分析和讨论，并认为禁止在课堂上使用这种技术是一种目光短浅的反应，使用ChatGPT依然需要人类进行理性思维和判断，甚至对人类的批判思考能力有更高的要求，我们应该学会很好地利用这种技术而不是禁止它。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“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.(禁止在课堂上使用这种技术是一种目光短浅的反应。相反，我们必须找到一条前进的道路，让这些技术与学生的思维很好地结合在一起，而不是取代学生的思维。)”可知，作者认为这一禁令很不明智。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“Students will find ways around the ban, which will cause a further defensive response from teachers and administrators, and so on.(学生们会找到绕开禁令的方法，这将引起教师和管理人员进一步的防御性反应，等等。)”可知，不可能在实践中禁止ChatGPT是因为学生们对数字技术很精通。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段最后五句“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.(GPT通常生成流畅且“合理”的文本，但却是错误的。因此，使用它需要和写作一样的脑力劳动：形成观点，创建大纲，选择要解释哪些要点，哪些要点要放弃，寻找支持事实。GPT可以帮助完成这些任务，但它不能把它们放在一起。写一篇好文章仍然需要很多人的思考和工作。的确，写作就是思考，好的写作就是好的思考。)”可知，作者通过陈述事实来解释他的观点。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“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.(人工智能有一天会超越人类的思维能力吗？也许吧，但现在，我们必须为自己考虑。像任何工具一样，只有当我们找不到方法让它成为我们的伙伴时，GPT才是思考的敌人。)”和全文内容可知，作者核心在讨论如何让ChatGPT服务教育而非在未来超过学生。故选D。 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 submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript (原稿). ____16____ No editor is likely to tolerate 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. ____17____ 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. ____18____ It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced. In addition, I have an old two-volume 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 idiomatic phrases. ____19____ 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". ____20____ A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience. A. I don't often use this dictionary. B. It takes no account of 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. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. E 19. A 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者使用英语词典的经验和心得以及从中获得的乐趣。 【16题详解】 上文“If you want to be published, it’s vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript(如果你想发表，提交一份完美的、专业的手稿是至关重要的)”提到了完美的、专业的手稿的重要性，手稿中不能有语法和拼写错误是专业的手稿的要求之一。F选项“That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.(这意味着语法正确，没有拼写错误。)”是对手稿要求的进一步解释说明，符合题意。故选F项。 【17题详解】 上文“I don’t trust my laptop’s spellchecker.(我不相信我笔记本电脑的拼写检查器。)”提到了作者不相信电脑的拼写检查器;下文“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.(当然，现在有很多在线词典和同义词库，但我是一个守旧的人，更喜欢精装的书和能用手指翻阅的书页。)”提到了作者更喜欢实体书和能用手指翻阅的书页，说明电子设备可能不会考虑上下文，所以B选项“It takes no account of the context.(它不考虑上下文。)”解释了上文的原因，具有承上启下的作用。故选B项。 【18题详解】 下文“It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.(它应该给出每个单词的精确定义，从而将其与其他含义相似但不相同的单词区分开来。它通常还会显示单词的发音。)”提到了字典的功能，E选项“Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling.(当然，字典不仅仅是用来拼写的。)”提到了字典的部分功能，能引起下文内容。故选E项。 【19题详解】 下文“However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there’s nothing better.(然而，如果我需要检查一个单词的来源或查找其用法的例子，没有什么比这更好的了。)”提到了字典的使用情况，A选项“I don’t often use this dictionary.(我不经常用这本字典。)”是对字典使用频率的说明，与下文构成转折关系。故选A项。 【20题详解】 上文“ “To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work, ” wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of ”dull".(约翰逊在解释“dull”的一个定义时写道：“编字典是件无聊的工作(乏味)。”)”提到了编写字典是件乏味的工作，下文“A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.(花几分钟的时间浏览一两页是一种有益的体验。)”提到浏览字典也是一种阅读的乐趣，D选项“But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.(但是一本字典读起来是一种乐趣。)”是作者对字典的评价，与上文的“乏味”形成对比，与上文构成转折关系。故选D项。 点睛】 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.

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. “Now, you do the other skate yourself. I’ll helpyou if you need it.” Cali bent over the skate and did what her aunt had showed her. Her tongue stuck out of the side of her mouth as she paid attention. After a few tries, she worked out how to cross the strings around the hooks. Her aunt helped make sure the strings were nice and tight. “You did it!” smiled her aunt, patting Cali on the back. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1: “Time to hit the ice,” her uncle said. Paragraph 2: Oof! She fell down, hard. 【答案】Passage 1. “Time to hit the ice,”her uncle said. As he helped her walk to the edge of the rink, he said,“We will hold your hands and you stand between us.”Cali took their hands in hers and made her first step onto the smooth ice.She grinned and tried taking a few steps.“Good, Cali. Now try to glide on one foot for just a second longer on each foot as you walk,” suggested her aunt. Then her uncle skated in front of her while her aunt guided her from behind.“Skate to your uncle now,” she said, pushing her on the back a little to get more speed. Cali glided unsteadily towards her uncle, taking small steps and fighting for balance.When she reached her uncle, he encouraged her to try it on her own.Cali wasn’t too sure about that. It seemed like everyone else was zooming past her. She started to get nervous. She lost her balance. Passage 2. Oof! She fell down, hard. It hurt. She closed her eyes and tried not to cry. In a moment,her uncle was helping her back on feet.He smiled into her eyes.“Everyone falls down the first few times. You just have to get back up again.”Cali took a deep breath.“Okay, I can do this.”She skated away from her uncle toward the crowd. As she wobbled, she talked to herself.“Be brave. Keep going. Small steps. Yes!”She had skated almost all the way around the rink by herself! Her aunt caught up to her and took her hand. “Look at you! You are working so hard and doing so well. We’re proud of you,”said Aunt Lisa. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Cali的姨妈和姨父给她送了一双花样滑冰鞋，可是她不会滑，第二天姨妈和姨父带她去滑冰，姨妈先教会了她怎么穿溜冰鞋。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““该去溜冰了，”她姨父说。”可知，第一段可描写Cali的姨妈和姨父如何教她滑冰。 ②由第二段首句内容“哦!她重重地摔倒了。”可知，第二段可描写Cali摔倒后姨妈和姨父如何鼓励她，及她如何克服困难。 2.续写线索：迈出第一步——滑向姨夫——保持平衡——站起来 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①迈出第一步：made her first step/take her first step ②滑向姨夫：glide towards her uncle/slide to her uncle ③保持平衡：fight for balance/keep balance ④站起来：back on feet/rise to one's feet 情绪类 ①笑：grin/smile ②紧张：nervous/tense ③勇敢：brave/courageous ④骄傲：be proud of/take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1]Cali glided unsteadily towards her uncle, taking small steps and fighting for balance.（由现在分词作状语） [高分句型2]As she wobbled, she talked to herself.（由as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高一普通部下学期英语7月份段考试题 考试时间120分钟 满分150分 第一部分 听力（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 第一节 (共 5 小题) 1.

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. 4. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Elli’s appearance. B. Elli’s inspiration. C. Elli’s childhood life. D. Elli’s achievements. 5. Which of the following best describes Elli? A. Determined and positive. B. Optimistic and easygoing. C. Respectful and straight. D. Honest and fashionable. 6. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in Para.4? A. Resisted. B. Criticized. C. Admitted. D. Highlighted. 7. 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 wiped out 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 ultimately lead to a superior 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. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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. 11. 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 fascinating articles destroy education as we know it? New York City’s Department of Education recently banned (禁止) 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 (趋向) 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. 12. How does the author feel about the ban? A. Understandable. B. Irresponsible. C. Unwise. D. Necessary. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. 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 submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript (原稿). ____16____ No editor is likely to tolerate 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. ____17____ 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. ____18____ It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced. In addition, I have an old two-volume 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 idiomatic phrases. ____19____ 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". ____20____ A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience. A. I don't often use this dictionary. B. It takes no account of 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. “Now, you do the other skate yourself. I’ll helpyou if you need it.” Cali bent over the skate and did what her aunt had showed her. Her tongue stuck out of the side of her mouth as she paid attention. After a few tries, she worked out how to cross the strings around the hooks. Her aunt helped make sure the strings were nice and tight. “You did it!” smiled her aunt, patting Cali on the back. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1: “Time to hit the ice,” her uncle said.
