61-year-old farmer, Cliff Young showed up to the most grueling (艰辛的) footrace in Australia-875 kilometers-in overalls and gumboots (橡胶靴). He went on to win in record time without any training, beating out best athletes.
Back in 1983, the Westfield Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon, which began and ended randomly in mall parking lots, had never been completed in less than seven days. But the world’s best runners showed up to prove their courage.
As the race began, the runners left Cliff in the dust. Many spectators must have thought Cliff was a promotion for the race who would soon drop out. But when other racers paused to get some sleep before the next grueling day, Cliff kept on, making up distance on the leaders. He reflected on herding sheep to new grassland, a task that took three straight days and nights. He kept himself sharp by imagining he was moving sheep ahead of a storm.
Cliff finished the race in five days, 11 hours, a full two days faster than the previous record. He was an instant celebrity. Not only did he himself run so far with so little experience and sleep, but he also split the prize money with the race’s top runners. He said he didn’t know there was prize money and felt bad accepting it. “Those other runners worked as hard as I did,” he explained.
Today, a memorial in the shape of a gumboot stands in the Beech Forest where Cliff grew up. In later long-distance races, professional runners adopted Cliff’s energy-saving way of walking. But what Cliff Young will be remembered for most was his big heart. The locals remember him as bonzer, the Aussie slang word for excellent.
Cliff Young never ran for fame or money. He simply wanted to see how well he could do. For all of us, doing our best is what our life story is all about.
4. How did people feel after Cliff won the race?
A. Surprised. B. Curious. C. Concerned. D. Nervous.
5. What is the previous record of 875-kilometer race?
A. Five days and 11 hours. B. Six days and 7 hours.
C. Seven days and 11 hours. D. Eight days and 10 hours.
6. Which of the following can show Cliff’s big heart?
A. Cliff ran for money to help the needy. B. Cliff made a living by feeding sheep.
C. Cliff had courage to challenge other runners. D. Cliff shared the prize money with top runners.
7. What does the underlined word “bonzer” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Very brave. B. Extremely good. C. Specially adventurous. D. More than creative.
C
A herd of life-sized elephant sculptures is making its way across America to promote coexistence between humans and animals. Called the Great Elephant Migration, the traveling exhibition features 100 replicas (仿制品) of real-life Indian elephants made by roughly 200 artists in southern India.
The first public appearance of the artworks was in London in 2021, and some of the sculptures are now permanently on display in the gardens of two royal family residences. After making a stop in India earlier this year, they’ve now made it across the Atlantic.
The herd is spending the summer in Newport, Rhode Island, before moving on to New York City’s Meatpacking District in the fall. From there, it will head to Florida, Montana and California.
Organizers hope the exhibition serves as a reminder that humans must learn to coexist with wild animals. This idea is especially important since human activities-including climate change and development-are primarily responsible for animals’ habitat loss.
The large sculptures are made of lantana camara, an invasive tropical bush that’s crowding elephants out of their natural habitats in India. As the weed outcompetes the plants that elephants like to eat, they’re heading into human-developed lands, like coffee and tea plantations.
Even so, people mostly live in harmony with elephants in India, even as the populations of both species have grown. India’s human population is now 1.4 billion, while the number of elephants stands at 25,000 to 30,000.
Artists from different communities in India crafted the sculptures based on elephants they know personally. Recognizing that animals have their own distinct personalities is “vitally important for the coexistence movement,” says researcher and conservationist Tarsh Thekaekara in the statement. “Individual animals may cause damage or pose a threat to humans, but not an entire species,” he adds.
8. Why does the traveling exhibition take place?
A. To promote cross-cultural communication. B. To show the beauty of elephant sculptures.
C. To educate people to protect the environment. D. To encourage humans to coexist with animals.
9. Where are the elephant sculptures on display in summer?
A. In London. B. In Newport. C. In New York. D. In Florida.
10. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. Wild animals threaten human’s survival and life.
B. The artists in India are merely interested in elephants.
C. Knowing the personalities of animals helps coexist with them.
D. The elephant sculptures are crafted based on those in the zoos.
11. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. The Great Elephant Migration is on the way.
B. Wild animals live in harmony with the Indians.
C. Many life-size elephant sculptures are crafted by Indian artists.
D. A flock of life-size elephant sculptures is marching across America.
D
New York (CNN) -OpenAI is worried that people might start to rely on ChatGPT too much for companionship, potentially leading to “dependence”, because of its new human-sounding voice mode.
ChatGPT’s advanced voice mode sounds remarkably lifelike. It responds in real time, can adjust to being interrupted, and makes the kinds of noises that humans make during conversations like laughing or “hmms”. It can also judge a speaker’s emotional state based on their tone of voice.
Within minutes of OpenAI announcing the feature at an event earlier this year, it was being compared to the AI digital assistant in the 2013 film Her, with whom the main character falls in love, only to be left heartbroken when the AI admits “she” also has relationships with hundreds of other users.
Now, OpenAI is apparently concerned that fictional story is a little too close to becoming reality, after it says it observed users talking to ChatGPT’s voice mode in language “expressing shared bonds” with the tool.
“Eventually, users might form social relationships with the AI, reducing their need for human interaction-potentially benefiting lonely individuals but possibly affecting healthy relationships,” the report states. It adds that hearing information from a bot (机器人程序) that sounds like a human could lead users to trust the tool more than they should, given AI’s tendency to get things wrong.
Some people are already forming what they describe as dependent relationships with AI chatbots, causing concern from relationship experts.
OpenAI said that human users’ interactions with ChatGPT’s voice mode could also, over time, influence what’s considered normal in social interactions.
For now, OpenAI says it’s committed to building Al “safely”, and plans to continue studying the potential for “emotional reliance” by users on its tools.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT’s voice mode?
A. Its features. B. Its appearance. C. Its different voice tones. D. Its emotional states.
13. Why is the 2013 film Her mentioned?
A. To test ChatGPT’s voice mode. B. To show the concern of OpenAI.
C. To share the content of the film. D. To indicate AI can hurt people.
14. According to the report, what aspect might AI have impact on?
A. Social practice. B. Interpersonal interaction. C. Outdoor activities. D. Electronic products.
15. What do relationship experts express concern over?
A. AI’s tendency for giving wrong information.
B. The positive influence that AI chatbots have on users.
C. Dependent relationships between people and AI chatbots.
D. The safety of the communication between AI chatbots and people.

On a summer morning, Kate found herself hurrying to catch a flight from London to Paris for an important business meeting. However, unexpected traffic delayed her arrival at the airport, leaving her with only minutes to spare before boarding.
Anxious to catch her flight, Kate approached the first taxi in line. “Heathrow Airport, Terminal 5, please,” she claimed as she jumped into the back seat. The driver, a middle-aged man named Tom, nodded and pulled away. As they sped through the streets, Kate couldn’t shake off her nerves. “Are we going to make it in time?” she asked anxiously. Tom took a quick look at her through the rearview mirror (后视镜) with a smile. “Don’t worry, Ma’am. I know a shortcut that should get us there just in time,” he replied calmly. However, Kate couldn’t help but feel a knot of worry tighten in her stomach. She had to catch this flight. The success of the entire project depended on her presence at the meeting.
Arriving at the airport, Tom drove skillfully and stopped right in front of the departure gate for Terminal 5. “Here we are,” he announced with pride. In relief but in a rush, Kate took out her wallet and paid the fare. But then she had some difficulty unfastening the seat-belt. It was stuck. Panic began to rise within Kate. She couldn’t afford to waste an extra minute. She pressed the button and dragged the belt again and again, but it didn’t work. Just as Kate was about to lose her temper, the taxi driver Tom realized what was happening. He quickly got off the car and helped Kate unfasten the belt. “I’m so sorry,” Tom apologized. Kate got off the taxi and hurriedly ran towards the terminal.

61-year-old farmer, Cliff Young showed up to the most grueling (艰辛的) footrace in Australia-875 kilometers-in overalls and gumboots (橡胶靴). He went on to win in record time without any training, beating out best athletes.
Back in 1983, the Westfield Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon, which began and ended randomly in mall parking lots, had never been completed in less than seven days. But the world’s best runners showed up to prove their courage.
As the race began, the runners left Cliff in the dust. Many spectators must have thought Cliff was a promotion for the race who would soon drop out. But when other racers paused to get some sleep before the next grueling day, Cliff kept on, making up distance on the leaders. He reflected on herding sheep to new grassland, a task that took three straight days and nights. He kept himself sharp by imagining he was moving sheep ahead of a storm.
Cliff finished the race in five days, 11 hours, a full two days faster than the previous record. He was an instant celebrity. Not only did he himself run so far with so little experience and sleep, but he also split the prize money with the race’s top runners. He said he didn’t know there was prize money and felt bad accepting it. “Those other runners worked as hard as I did,” he explained.
Today, a memorial in the shape of a gumboot stands in the Beech Forest where Cliff grew up. In later long-distance races, professional runners adopted Cliff’s energy-saving way of walking. But what Cliff Young will be remembered for most was his big heart. The locals remember him as bonzer, the Aussie slang word for excellent.
Cliff Young never ran for fame or money. He simply wanted to see how well he could do. For all of us, doing our best is what our life story is all about.
4. How did people feel after Cliff won the race?
A. Surprised. B. Curious. C. Concerned. D. Nervous.
5. What is the previous record of 875-kilometer race?
A. Five days and 11 hours. B. Six days and 7 hours.
C. Seven days and 11 hours. D. Eight days and 10 hours.
6. Which of the following can show Cliff’s big heart?
A. Cliff ran for money to help the needy. B. Cliff made a living by feeding sheep.
C. Cliff had courage to challenge other runners. D. Cliff shared the prize money with top runners.
7. What does the underlined word “bonzer” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Very brave. B. Extremely good. C. Specially adventurous. D. More than creative.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了61岁的农民Cliff穿着工装裤和橡胶靴参加了澳大利亚最艰苦的875公里赛跑。他在没有经过任何训练的情况下创造了新的纪录。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“As the race began, the runners left Cliff in the dust. Many spectators must have thought Cliff was a promotion for the race who would soon drop out.(比赛开始时,其他跑者迅速将Cliff甩在身后。许多观众可能以为Cliff只是赛事的宣传人物,很快就会退出)”可知,比赛开始时,选手们把Cliff远远地甩在了后面。许多观众认为Cliff很快就会退出比赛。由此推断出,Cliff赢得比赛让人们感到意外。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Cliff finished the race in five days, 11 hours, a full two days faster than the previous record.(克利夫以五天零11小时的成绩完成了比赛,比之前的纪录快了整整两天)”可知,Cliff用了5天11小时完成了比赛,比之前的纪录整整快了两天,也就是说原来的纪录是7天11小时。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Not only did he himself run so far with so little experience and sleep, but he also split the prize money with the race’s top runners.(他不仅凭借极少的经验和睡眠跑完了这么长的距离,还将奖金与比赛中的顶尖跑者平分)”可知,Cliff自己不仅在没有经验和睡眠的情况下跑了这么远,而且还与比赛的顶级选手分享了奖金。由此可知,体现Cliff心胸宽大的是他把奖金分给了其他优秀的选手。故选D项。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后的“the Aussie slang word for excellent.(这是澳大利亚俚语,意思是优秀)”可知,bonzer是澳大利亚俚语,意思是“优秀”,excellent与extremely good 意思接近。故选B项。

A herd of life-sized elephant sculptures is making its way across America to promote coexistence between humans and animals. Called the Great Elephant Migration, the traveling exhibition features 100 replicas (仿制品) of real-life Indian elephants made by roughly 200 artists in southern India.
The first public appearance of the artworks was in London in 2021, and some of the sculptures are now permanently on display in the gardens of two royal family residences. After making a stop in India earlier this year, they’ve now made it across the Atlantic.
The herd is spending the summer in Newport, Rhode Island, before moving on to New York City’s Meatpacking District in the fall. From there, it will head to Florida, Montana and California.
Organizers hope the exhibition serves as a reminder that humans must learn to coexist with wild animals This idea is especially important since human activities-including climate change and development-are primarily responsible for animals’ habitat loss.
The large sculptures are made of lantana camara, an invasive tropical bush that’s crowding elephants out of their natural habitats in India. As the weed outcompetes the plants that elephants like to eat, they’re heading into human-developed lands, like coffee and tea plantations.
Even so, people mostly live in harmony with elephants in India, even as the populations of both species have grown. India’s human population is now 1.4 billion, while the number of elephants stands at 25,000 to 30,000.
Artists from different communities in India crafted the sculptures based on elephants they know personally. Recognizing that animals have their own distinct personalities is “vitally important for the coexistence movement,” says researcher and conservationist Tarsh Thekaekara in the statement. “Individual animals may cause damage or pose a threat to humans, but not an entire species,” he adds.
8. Why does the traveling exhibition take place?
A. To promote cross-cultural communication. B. To show the beauty of elephant sculptures.
C. To educate people to protect the environment. D. To encourage humans to coexist with animals.
9. Where are the elephant sculptures on display in summer?
A. In London. B. In Newport. C. In New York. D. In Florida.
10. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. Wild animals threaten human’s survival and life.
B. The artists in India are merely interested in elephants.
C. Knowing the personalities of animals helps coexist with them.
D. The elephant sculptures are crafted based on those in the zoos.
11. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. The Great Elephant Migration is on the way.
B. Wild animals live in harmony with the Indians.
C. Many life-size elephant sculptures are crafted by Indian artists.
D. A flock of life-size elephant sculptures is marching across America.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D

New York (CNN) -OpenAI is worried that people might start to rely on ChatGPT too much for companionship, potentially leading to “dependence”, because of its new human-sounding voice mode.
ChatGPT’s advanced voice mode sounds remarkably lifelike. It responds in real time, can adjust to being interrupted, and makes the kinds of noises that humans make during conversations like laughing or “hmms”. It can also judge a speaker’s emotional state based on their tone of voice.
Within minutes of OpenAI announcing the feature at an event earlier this year, it was being compared to the AI digital assistant in the 2013 film Her, with whom the main character falls in love, only to be left heartbroken when the AI admits “she” also has relationships with hundreds of other users.
Now, OpenAI is apparently concerned that fictional story is a little too close to becoming reality, after it says it observed users talking to ChatGPT’s voice mode in language “expressing shared bonds” with the tool.
“Eventually, users might form social relationships with the AI, reducing their need for human interaction-potentially benefiting lonely individuals but possibly affecting healthy relationships,” the report states. It adds that hearing information from a bot (机器人程序) that sounds like a human could lead users to trust the tool more than they should, given AI’s tendency to get things wrong.
Some people are already forming what they describe as dependent relationships with AI chatbots, causing concern from relationship experts.
OpenAI said that human users’ interactions with ChatGPT’s voice mode could also, over time, influence what’s considered normal in social interactions.
For now, OpenAI says it’s committed to building Al “safely”, and plans to continue studying the potential for “emotional reliance” by users on its tools.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT’s voice mode?
A. Its features. B. Its appearance. C. Its different voice tones. D. Its emotional states.
13. Why is the 2013 film Her mentioned?
A. To test ChatGPT’s voice mode. B. To show the concern of OpenAI.
C. To share the content of the film. D. To indicate AI can hurt people.
14. According to the report, what aspect might AI have impact on?
A. Social practice. B. Interpersonal interaction. C. Outdoor activities. D. Electronic products.
15. What do relationship experts express concern over?
A. AI’s tendency for giving wrong information.
B. The positive influence that AI chatbots have on users.
C. Dependent relationships between people and AI chatbots.
D. The safety of the communication between AI chatbots and people.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。OpenAI公司担心由于ChatGPT新的人声模式,人们可能会开始依赖它来寻求陪伴,从而可能导致“过度依赖”的问题。

(报告指出:‘最终,用户可能会与AI建立社交关系,从而减少他们对人际互动的需求——这可能会使孤独的人受益,但可能会影响健康的人际关系。’)”可知,用户可能会与人工智能建立社交关系,从而会减少他们对现实中的社会互动关系的需求。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段的“Some people are already forming what they describe as dependent relationships with AI chatbots, causing concern from relationship experts. (有些人已经在形成他们所说的依赖关系与AI聊天机器人,引起了关系专家的担忧。)”可知,一些人已经开始与人工智能聊天机器人建立依赖关系,这引起了情感专家的担忧。故选C项。

Have you ever woken up at midnight with upsetting thoughts? Maybe you argued with your partner. Perhaps you are worrying about an interview. These are common in our life. But they can make it hard to see reality as it is. ____16____ And thus we may lose sleep and have trouble concentrating. The following methods are helpful.

Talk to a trusted person or maybe a therapist. We can turn to others for help. Whether they do it with humor or by offering wisdom, sometimes getting an outsider’s perspective can help us a lot. ____20____ If we don’t have such kind of people, seeing a therapist might be our best option.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a summer morning, Kate found herself hurrying to catch a flight from London to Paris for an important business meeting. However, unexpected traffic delayed her arrival at the airport, leaving her with only minutes to spare before boarding.
Anxious to catch her flight, Kate approached the first taxi in line. “Heathrow Airport, Terminal 5, please,” she claimed as she jumped into the back seat. The driver, a middle-aged man named Tom, nodded and pulled away. As they sped through the streets, Kate couldn’t shake off her nerves. “Are we going to make it in time?” she asked anxiously. Tom took a quick look at her through the rearview mirror (后视镜) with a smile. “Don’t worry, Ma’am. I know a shortcut that should get us there just in time,” he replied calmly. However, Kate couldn’t help but feel a knot of worry tighten in her stomach. She had to catch this flight. The success of the entire project depended on her presence at the meeting.
Arriving at the airport, Tom drove skillfully and stopped right in front of the departure gate for Terminal 5. “Here we are,” he announced with pride. In relief but in a rush, Kate took out her wallet and paid the fare. But then she had some difficulty unfastening the seat-belt. It was stuck. Panic began to rise within Kate. She couldn’t afford to waste an extra minute. She pressed the button and dragged the belt again and again, but it didn’t work. Just as Kate was about to lose her temper, the taxi driver Tom realized what was happening. He quickly got off the car and helped Kate unfasten the belt. “I’m so sorry,” Tom apologized. Kate got off the taxi and hurriedly ran towards the terminal.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
“Ma’am, your wallet!” Tom was shouting loudly.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When returning to London, Kate went to Tom’s taxi company.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
“Ma’am, your wallet!” Tom was shouting loudly. Kate froze, realizing she had left her wallet on the seat. She turned around and saw Tom running up to her, holding her wallet out to her. Kate was in such a hurry that she grabbed her wallet without saying “Thank you” to Tom. She rushed towards the terminal, leaving Tom standing still there. With Tom’s help, Kate managed to board her flight just in time. Only then did Kate feel an urge to thank Tom.
When returning to London, Kate went to Tom’s taxi company. She was grateful for his help in getting her to the airport in time. And more importantly, Tom gave back her wallet. In it there was her passport, identity card and some cash, without which she could not have got on board, not to mention participating in the conference in Paris. Fortunately, Tom was at work when Kate arrived at the taxi company. To express her appreciation, Kate left a box of chocolates and a thank-you note for Tom, which read, “Your kindness makes the world a better place. Thank you.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Kate在一个下雨的夏天早晨匆忙赶往机场,飞往伦敦去参加重要商务会议,在出租车司机Tom的帮助下,她及时到达机场,并克服了座椅安全带卡住的小插曲,匆匆朝航站楼跑去。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容““女士,你的钱包!” Tom喊道。”可知,第一段可描写Kate把钱包落在出租车上,出租车司机来归还她的钱包
②由第二段首句内容“回到纽约后,Kate特意找到了大卫的出租车公司。”可知,第二段可描写Kate回到伦敦后,和出租车公司取得联系,并向Tom表达感谢。
2.续写线索:归还钱包——匆忙登机——联系出租车公司——表达感谢
3.词汇激活
行为类
①冲:rush/dash
②抓住:grab/grasp
③到达:arrive at/reach
情绪类
①感激的:grateful/thankful
②好心:kindness/goodwill/friendliness
【点睛】【高分句型1】Kate froze, realizing she had left her wallet on the seat. (运用了现在分词作状语和省略that的宾语从句)
【高分句型2】Only then did Kate feel an urge to thank Tom.(运用了only+状语位于句首引出的部分倒装句式)
