Once upon a time, they might have carried a phrasebook. But now, many simple, free apps are good news for those travelers. With these apps’ conversation mode, people talk into a phone and a spoken translation is heard moments later. Maybe the best-known app is Google Translate, though small mistakes can happen due to its word-for-word translation. Surprisingly, the best tool may not be a translation app at all. Though not marketed for that, ChatGPT, a generative AI system, can write messages in different languages, producing natural output like a native speaker. As AI translation becomes an even more popular labour-saving tool society may divide into two groups. There will be those who want to fully experience other cultures. This group will still take on language study, often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a different attitude: “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.” After all, most people do not move abroad or often have contact with a foreign culture. On their holiday, they just want a beer and spaghetti (意大利面). As a result, some experts are concerned that AI is leading to a decreasing interest in language learning. Writer Douglas Hofstadter has argued that something meaningful will disappear when people communicate through machines. He describes giving a disconnected, difficult speech in Chinese, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of achievement at the end. Who would boast of (吹嘘) taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Everest (珠穆朗玛峰)? While AI translation seems practical, we must recognize the social nature of language. When trying to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in awkward German, you are making direct contact with someone. The best relationships do not require a third party. 1. Which of the following best describes translation apps? A. Free but hard to use. B. Popular but expensive. C. Quick but with mistakes. D. Easy to use but slow. 2. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Conversation. B. Language learning. C. Message writing. D. Translation. 3. Why does the writer mention “beer and spaghetti” in paragraph 3? A. To present an opinion. B. To support a fact. C. To make an excuse. D. To give a reason. 4. What can be inferred from Douglas Hofstadter’s opinion? A. Reaching Mount Everest is quite easy. B. Learning a foreign language is less attractive. C. Talking without the help of technology is worthwhile. D. Making a speech in another language is too challenging. B Skill of copying and moving images onto paper is an art form shining in history, Zhao Xu reports. Rubbing, the tracing (描摹) of characters onto a piece of paper, reached its golden age during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). To do this, a thin piece of paper was placed over the surface of the stone tablet (石板) carved with characters. Then water, or later, ink, was applied smoothly to the back of the paper with just the right amount of pressure, to soften the paper and allow for a total moving of the details onto it. The paper was left to dry and then be lifted off the stone surface, carrying with it a copy of the original (原作). Repeated hundreds of thousands of times during the Song era, this hands-on skill enabled educated members of Song society to have a chance to learn from master calligraphic works either from their own times or from earlier dynasties. Oftentimes, the original calligraphy, or even its stone version, became lost over time, thus making the rubbings the only surviving copy of the masterworks that had once existed. In that sense, the Song rubbings, and those behind them; have helped to preserve a cultural relic much valued then and now. Now, art lovers have the chance to visit it at an exhibition (展览) held at Beijing’s Palace Museum themed the Song rubbings. Of the 40 pieces on show, 20 are drawn from the collection of the Palace Museum, which holds a total of 150 Song rubbings. The other half are lent for the first time by the Art Museum of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), whose collection of rubbings were donated by J. S. Lee. “What we have here is not just a showcase of the beauty of ink and paper, the art of calligraphy, carving and rubbing, but also the telling of stories shining in cultural pride and common spirit,” said Wang Xudong, director of the Palace Museum. 5. What do we know about rubbing? A. There were five steps to make a rubbing. B. It moved characters from paper to a stone. C. It was well developed in the Song Dynasty. D. Pressure was applied to the paper to smooth it. 6. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The development of rubbing. B. The importance of rubbing. C. The process of rubbing. D. The loss of rubbing. 7. What does paragraph 4 suggest? A. Altogether there are 150 rubbings on show. B. Twenty of the rubbings were donated by CUHK. C. Sources of the exhibits are from two organizations. D. 190 Song rubbings are housed in the Palace Museum now. 8. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A research paper. B. A brochure. C. A guidebook to a museum. D. A section of a newspaper. 四、完形填空(共15小题：每题2分, . 满分30分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的A 、B 、C和 D 四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处 的最佳选项。 It was a regular school day, and the air was filled with the usual sounds of chatter and laughter as students prepared for their lessons.
