Walled Cities Of The World
There are numerous historical walled cities across the world, whose walls date back several centuries. These walls were fortification (碉堡), a necessity throughout medieval eras for defense. They have been preserved as historical monuments and popular tourist attractions in the modern time.
York, England
The city of York is a medieval city situated in the north of England. Historically, the city was ruled by the Romans, Angles, and the Vikings before being incorporated as part of the Kingdom of England in 954. Located in the city are walls built in 71 AD which have been restored and extended with time.
Xi’an, China
The city of Xian is one of the oldest cities in China. It prospered economically as the eastern last station of the Silk Road. The existing walls were originally built in 770 BC and reconstructed in the 14th century under the Ming Dynasty. The walls are well preserved and are a major tourist attraction in the city.
Quebec City, Canada
Quebec City was a colonial (殖民地的) town which was fortified by the settling Europeans. The walls began to be built in 1608 under both British and French regimes (政权). A fort was constructed by the British as an additional defensive measure and remains undamaged to date. The city’s fortifications were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985.
Mexico City, Mexico
Historically, the City of Mexico gained importance as the Aztec Capital. The Spanish then drove out the Aztecs and rebuilt it as the Spanish Capital. The walls protecting the city were built in 1521. Mexico City is also home to numerous colonial-era buildings which together with the walls are major tourist attractions in the city.

Courage is a huge theme in my life, a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of “courage” is “cor,” the Latin word for heart. In the beginning, courage meant “to speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.” While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.
I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions to rest, she persisted until she couldn’t breathe properly.
Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check out on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.
“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter, “I was just like you when I started.
But with practice and proper pace, you’ll get there too.”
“Yeah, don’t let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It’s okay to admit when you’re struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it’s important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That’s how we improve and grow.”
Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.
I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it’s okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I’ve come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.
14. Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage?
A. To question the common belief of courage.
B. To argue for the true nature of courage.
C. To show the changing meaning of courage.
D. To compare different interpretations of courage.
15. What did the two students suggest the daughter do?
A. Keep to a suitable pace. B. Seek help whenever possible.
C. Challenge her own limits. D. Stick with experienced climbers.
16. Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage?
A. The mother asked the girl to rest.
B. The girl tried hard not to fall behind.
C. The two students pointed out the group’s fault.
D. The group celebrated the reach of the mountain top.
17. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. Kindness connects us all. B. Being a beginner takes courage.
C. We don’t have to be a hero to be brave. D. With courage, everyone can be perfect.
C
Feeling overloaded by your to-do list can certainly make you unhappy, but new research suggests that more free time might not be the elixir many of us dream it could be.
In a new study released last week, researchers analyzed data from two large-scale (大规模) surveys about how Americans spend their time. Together, the surveys included more than 35,000 respondents. The researchers found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective well-being — but only up to a point. People who had around two hours of free time a day generally reported they felt better than those who had less time. But people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally said they felt worse. So ultimately the free-time “sweet spot” might be two to three hours per day, the findings suggest.
Part of finding this seemingly tricky “sweet spot” has to do with how people spend the extra time they have, the researchers behind the new study argue. They conducted several smaller online experiments. In one they asked participants to imagine having 3.5 to 7 free hours per day. They were asked to imagine spending that time doing “productive” things (like exercising) or to imagine doing “unproductive” activities (like watching TV). Study participants believed their well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day — but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was hypothetical, which is one limitation of the new research, it’s certainly in line with other research showing that being in a state of “flow” can be good for people’s mental health.
Of course, what feels “productive” is up to you. Many traditionally productive or purposeful activities can be easy and fun. Engaging in a bit of low-key cardio, like walking and jogging, can help burn stress. Free-time activities like reading or cooking are also known to put people in a state of flow.
18. What does the underlined word “elixir” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Magic solution.
B. Physical power.
C. Psychological test.
D. Relaxed atmosphere.
19. How did the researchers carry out the new study?
A. By doing large-scale online surveys.
B. By giving interviews and mental tests.
C. By comparing respondents’ backgrounds.
D By conducting experiments and analyzing data.
20. What is a distinct finding of the new research?
A. Doing unproductive things leads to unhappiness.
B. Being in a state of flow benefits people’s mental health.
C Man’s well-being is positively related to the free time they have.
D. How people spend their free time affects their sense of well-being.
21. What is the focus of the last paragraph?
A. The importance of burning stress.
B. Easy and fun activities to kill time.
C. Further explanation of being productive.
D. The benefits of engaging in free-time activities.
D
Adapting to technological advances is a defining part of the 21st-century life. Just two months after being launched in November 2022, OpenAI’s ChatGPT has already reached an audience of over 100 million people. While ChatGPT threatens to change writing and writing-related work, the Mesopotamians, who lived 4,000 years ago in a geographical area centered in modern-day Iraq, went through this kind of far-reaching change before us.
Ancient Mesopotamia was home to many of civilization’s early developments. Its people were world leaders in adapting to technological and cultural changes. They invented the wheel and agriculture, and pioneered advances in mathematics and urbanization. These breakthroughs are reflected in cuneiform(楔形文字)literature,one of the oldest known forms of writing.
In its literature, Mesopotamians don’t present cultural and technological advances as consistently beneficial.They often represent new technologies being controlled in the service of human conflict and mostly serving the interests of those with high social positions. In some ways,the representation of new technologies in its literature echoes(映现)contemporary concerns about AI: fears of increasing social inequalities and its potential use in information war.
In recent years,AI—the newest form of writing—has been used to decipher(破译)the oldest: cuneiform literature.In broader fieldsthe boundaries of how AI may be used haven’t been clearly explained.In January,for example, a top international AI conference banned the use of AI tools for writing scientific papers.
Humans have been struggling to invent, use and adapt to technology since our earliest civilizations. But the technology and resulting knowledge are not always evenly distributed. Knowing how we adapted to changing technology in the past helps us more fully understand the human condition and may even help us prepare for the future.
22. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning Mesopotamians?
A. Their adaptation to threats.
B. Their influences on writing.
C. Their contribution to literature.
D. Their achievements in civilization.
23. What can be inferred about technological advances from paragraph 3?
A. They prevent human conflict.
B. They bring about hidden dangers.
C. They take away people’s concerns.
D. They lower people’s social status.
24. What is the current situation of AI according to paragraph 4?
A. Its use in literature is popular.
B. It is not allowed to finish papers.
C Its range of application is undefined.
D. It is not accepted in broader fields.
25. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. How People Can Use the Latest Technology
B. How ChatGPT Will Threaten Writing and Work
C. What AI Will Do by Learning Cuneiform Literature
D. What History Can Teach Us About New Tech’s Impact

How to Have and Attractive Personality
Being attractive comes more from your personality than your appearance,and demonstrating an attractive personality is key to having lasting relationships.____26____ The following tips help foster your ability to fascinate others.
Laugh at yourself. If you make a fool of yourself, laugh at yourself instead of feeling embarrassed. It shows that you’re comfortable in your skin. A sense of humor makes someone more engaging and delightful to be with. ____27____ It is a great ice-breaker or stress reliever, but don’t ruin a serious conversation with inappropriate jokes.
Speak sincerely. Tell people the truth. If you can’t commit to something, it’s better to be honest about it than to have to tell them last minute that you can’t make it. When people ask for your opinion, you should be honest. ____28____ For instance, if you don’t like your friends’ shirt, respond with, “I really like you in blue instead,” rather than, “I hate it, it’s ugly.”
____29____If you see value in making others laugh and keep yourself positive, you’ll be a happier person, making others drawn to you as a result. A great way to remind you to laugh more is to have daily jokes on your phone or email. Set them for a time of day when you notice yourself start to feel drained.
Have confidence in your body. You don’t have to have the “perfect body” to be confident in it. People will be more attracted to you if you dress well and carry yourself well. If you need a little boost, place post-its around your mirror that remind you of the charming parts of your body. ____30____.
A. Speak in a positive way.
B. Make laughing a priority
C. Remember, there is a time and place for humor.
D. There is difference between being frank and rude, though.
E. Focus on these rather than what you’re self-conscious about.
F. Actually, developing engaging personalities is not that far out of reach.
G. But having charming appearance is only skin-deep and far from enough.

第二部分 单项选择 (每小题1分,满分10分)
从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
1. The company________I visited last year was not the one_________I once worked
A. which;where B. where;which
C. which; that D. where; that
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:我去年参观的公司不是我曾经工作过的公司。第一空引导定语从句,先行词是company,在从句(I visited last year)中做宾语,用关系代词which;第二空引导定语从句,先行词是the one(指代the company),在从句(I once worked)中做地点状语,用关系副词where。故选A项。
2. This is the small house less than 15 square meters, under ________ roof lives a large family of three generations.
A. which B. that C. whose D. what
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:这是一幢不到15平方米的小房子,里面住着一个三代人的大家庭。空格处是“介词+关系代词”引导非限制性定语从句,house和roof之间是所属关系,因此空格处用whose表所属,故选C。
3. The bus was crowded with passengers going home from market, most of ________ carrying heavy bags and basket.
A. who B. whom C. which D. them
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查独立主格结构。句意:公共汽车上挤满了从市场回家的乘客,大多数人提着沉重的袋子和篮子。由空后的carrying是非谓语动词可知,逗号后不是从句,本空用人称代词宾格them“他们”指代前文的passengers,与后面carrying heavy bags and basket构成独立主格结构。故选D。
4. With his eyes ______ on the games on the smartphone, the boy didn’t notice his mother ______ behind him.
A. fixing; stood B. fixed; standing C. fixing; standing D. fixed; stood
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:男孩的眼睛一直盯着智能手机上的游戏,没有注意到站在他身后的母亲。分析句式结构可知,第一个空格处fix和eyes之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词作宾补。第二个空格处stand和mother之间是主动关系,所以应该用现在分词作宾语补足语。故选B项。
5. A fisherman claimed________a giant sea turtle________almost two meters long this morning.
A. to witness; measured B. having witnessed;measuring
C. to have witnessed; measuring D. witnessing;to be measured
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语。句意:一位渔民声称今天早上目睹了一只近两米长的巨型海龟。分析句子可知,第一空考查claim to do,表“声称要做”,为固定搭配,且这里非谓语动词 witness发生在谓语动词claim之前,所以此空应用不定式的完成时态作宾语;第二空也考查非谓语,a giant sea turtle与measure为主动关系,再由句意可知,这里应用现在分词形式作定语。故选C项。
6. —What do you think made him put into prison?
—________stealing the valuables.
A. Because he was accused of B. Having accused of
C. Being accused of D. Accused of
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:——你认为是什么让他被关进监狱的?——被指控偷了贵重物品。本句为动名词作主语,整句为:Being accused of stealing the valuables made him put into prison。故选C项。
7. I _____ you some money, but I hadn’t any on me then.
A. would lend B. would have lent C. could lend D. may have lent
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词。句意:本想借给你一些钱,但是那时我没有。由后面的句子but I hadn’t any on me then可知,此处表示过去没有完成的事情,would have done表示“本想做某事却没做”。故选B。
8. As is often the case, what we assume to be a simple matter turns out to be quite________.
A. complicated B. essential C. embarrassing D. temporary.
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意:常常是这样,我们认为简单的事情结果却是相当复杂的。A. complicated 复杂的;B. essential 必要的;C. embarrassing 尴尬的;D. temporary 暂时的。根据句子结构和“a simple matter”形成对比,可知简单的事最后变得复杂,故选A。

Walled Cities Of The World
There are numerous historical walled cities across the world, whose walls date back several centuries. These walls were fortification (碉堡), a necessity throughout medieval eras for defense. They have been preserved as historical monuments and popular tourist attractions in the modern time.
York, England
The city of York is a medieval city situated in the north of England. Historically, the city was ruled by the Romans, Angles, and the Vikings before being incorporated as part of the Kingdom of England in 954. Located in the city are walls built in 71 AD which have been restored and extended with time.
Xi’an, China
The city of Xian is one of the oldest cities in China. It prospered economically as the eastern last station of the Silk Road. The existing walls were originally built in 770 BC and reconstructed in the 14th century under the Ming Dynasty. The walls are well preserved and are a major tourist attraction in the city.
Quebec City, Canada
Quebec City was a colonial (殖民地的) town which was fortified by the settling Europeans. The walls began to be built in 1608 under both British and French regimes (政权). A fort was constructed by the British as an additional defensive measure and remains undamaged to date. The city’s fortifications were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985.
Mexico City, Mexico
Historically, the City of Mexico gained importance as the Aztec Capital. The Spanish then drove out the Aztecs and rebuilt it as the Spanish Capital. The walls protecting the city were built in 1521. Mexico City is also home to numerous colonial-era buildings which together with the walls are major tourist attractions in the city.

Courage is a huge theme in my life, a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of “courage” is “cor,” the Latin word for heart. In the beginning, courage meant “to speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.” While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.
I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions to rest, she persisted until she couldn’t breathe properly.
Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check out on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.
“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter, “I was just like you when I started.
But with practice and proper pace, you’ll get there too.”
“Yeah, don’t let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It’s okay to admit when you’re struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it’s important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That’s how we improve and grow.”
Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.
I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it’s okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I’ve come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.
14. Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage?
A. To question the common belief of courage.
B. To argue for the true nature of courage.
C. To show the changing meaning of courage.
D. To compare different interpretations of courage.
15. What did the two students suggest the daughter do?
A. Keep to a suitable pace. B. Seek help whenever possible.
C. Challenge her own limits. D. Stick with experienced climbers.
16. Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage?
A. The mother asked the girl to rest.
B. The girl tried hard not to fall behind.
C. The two students pointed out the group’s fault.
D. The group celebrated the reach of the mountain top.
17. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. Kindness connects us all. B. Being a beginner takes courage.
C. We don’t have to be a hero to be brave. D. With courage, everyone can be perfect.
【答案】14. B 15. A 16. C 17. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者和女儿在登山过程中遇到困难,两位学生的帮助和鼓励,以及他们的勇气对团队产生的影响。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In the beginning, courage meant “to speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.” While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.”(在开始,勇气意味着“说出自己的想法,表达自己的心声”。虽然现在勇气常常与英雄主义联系在一起,但我相信真正的勇气在于对我们是谁,我们的感受开放和诚实。)可推知,作者提到勇气的原始含义是为了论证勇气的真正本质,故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“ But with practice and proper pace, you’ll get there too.”” (但是通过练习和适当的节奏,你也能做到。”)以及第六段““Yeah, don’t let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It’s okay to admit when you’re struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it’s important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That’s how we improve and grow.””(“是的,不要让你的经验不足阻止你,”另一个人补充道。“当你在挣扎或感觉不舒服时,承认是可以的。事实上,当你需要帮助时,大声说出来并寻求帮助是很重要的。这就是我们进步和成长的方式。”)可推知,两位学生建议保持适当的步伐,还建议在必要时寻求帮助。因此“保持合适的速度,与他们所说的是一致的。B项“只要有可能就寻求帮助”有点极端,因为他们说的是“当你需要的时候”,而不是“只要有可能”。故选A。
【16题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第七段“Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.”(他们的话让团队为忽视我们的困难向我们道歉。)可推知,两位学生指出团队的错误是真正的勇气的体现,故选C。
【17题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“ Courage, I’ve come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.”(我已经意识到,勇气有连锁反应。每次我们选择勇气,我们都会激励周围的人变得更勇敢,使世界变得更好。)可推知,作者想要告诉我们不一定要成为英雄才能勇敢。故选C。
C
Feeling overloaded by your to-do list can certainly make you unhappy, but new research suggests that more free time might not be the elixir many of us dream it could be.
In a new study released last week, researchers analyzed data from two large-scale (大规模) surveys about how Americans spend their time. Together, the surveys included more than 35,000 respondents. The researchers found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective well-being — but only up to a point. People who had around two hours of free time a day generally reported they felt better than those who had less time. But people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally said they felt worse. So ultimately the free-time “sweet spot” might be two to three hours per day, the findings suggest.
Part of finding this seemingly tricky “sweet spot” has to do with how people spend the extra time they have, the researchers behind the new study argue. They conducted several smaller online experiments. In one they asked participants to imagine having 3.5 to 7 free hours per day. They were asked to imagine spending that time doing “productive” things (like exercising) or to imagine doing “unproductive” activities (like watching TV). Study participants believed their well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day — but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was hypothetical, which is one limitation of the new research, it’s certainly in line with other research showing that being in a state of “flow” can be good for people’s mental health.
Of course, what feels “productive” is up to you. Many traditionally productive or purposeful activities can be easy and fun. Engaging in a bit of low-key cardio, like walking and jogging, can help burn stress. Free-time activities like reading or cooking are also known to put people in a state of flow.
18. What does the underlined word “elixir” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Magic solution.
B. Physical power.
C. Psychological test.
D. Relaxed atmosphere.
19. How did the researchers carry out the new study?
A. By doing large-scale online surveys.
B. By giving interviews and mental tests.
C. By comparing respondents’ backgrounds.
D. By conducting experiments and analyzing data.
20. What is a distinct finding of the new research?
A. Doing unproductive things leads to unhappiness.
B. Being in a state of flow benefits people’s mental health.
C. Man’s well-being is positively related to the free time they have.
D. How people spend their free time affects their sense of well-being.
21. What is the focus of the last paragraph?
A. The importance of burning stress.
B. Easy and fun activities to kill time.
C. Further explanation of being productive.
D. The benefits of engaging in free-time activities.
【答案】18. A 19. D 20. D 21. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了一项实验研究,得出结论:人的幸福感跟空闲时间的长短无关,而跟空闲时间的使用率相关。
【18题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Feeling overloaded by your to-do list can certainly make you unhappy, but new research suggests that more free time might not be the elixir many of us dream it could be.(被待办事项清单压得喘不过气来肯定会让你不开心,但新的研究表明,更多的空闲时间可能不是我们许多人梦想的灵丹妙药)”中的but转折可知,面对待办事项时,我们最需要的可能是时间,但是研究表明,事实并非如我们想象的这般,太多的空闲时间反而不是解决待办事项的最好方法。由此可推知,划线词“elixir”与“Magic solution”表达意义相同,指“万能的(解决方法)”。故选A。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“In a new study released last week, researchers analyzed data from two large-scale (大规模) surveys about how Americans spend their time.(在上周发布的一项新研究中,研究人员分析了两项关于美国人如何打发时间的大规模调查的数据)”及第三段第二句“They conducted several smaller online experiments.(他们进行了几项规模较小的在线实验)”可知,研究者是通过实验和数据分析的形式进行研究的。故选D。
【20题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第五句“Study participants believed their well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day — but only if they used it unproductively.(研究参与者相信,如果他们白天有很多空闲时间,但是没有有效利用时,他们的幸福感会变差)”可知,人们如何度过空闲时间会影响到幸福感。故选D。
【21题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段第二句“Many traditionally productive or purposeful activities can be easy and fun.(许多传统上富有成效或有意义的活动都是轻松有趣的)”及后面列举的一些活动可知,本段主要是关于介绍一些轻松有趣的,用于消磨时间的活动的。故选B。
D
Adapting to technological advances is a defining part of the 21st-century life. Just two months after being launched in November 2022, OpenAI’s ChatGPT has already reached an audience of over 100 million people. While ChatGPT threatens to change writing and writing-related work, the Mesopotamians, who lived 4,000 years ago in a geographical area centered in modern-day Iraq, went through this kind of far-reaching change before us.
Ancient Mesopotamia was home to many of civilization’s early developments. Its people were world leaders in adapting to technological and cultural changes. They invented the wheel and agriculture, and pioneered advances in mathematics and urbanization. These breakthroughs are reflected in cuneiform(楔形文字)literature,one of the oldest known forms of writing.
In its literature, Mesopotamians don’t present cultural and technological advances as consistently beneficial.They often represent new technologies being controlled in the service of human conflict and mostly serving the interests of those with high social positions. In some ways,the representation of new technologies in its literature echoes(映现)contemporary concerns about AI: fears of increasing social inequalities and its potential use in information war.
In recent years,AI—the newest form of writing—has been used to decipher(破译)the oldest: cuneiform literature.In broader fields,the boundaries of how AI may be used haven’t been clearly explained.In January,for example, a top international AI conference banned the use of AI tools for writing scientific papers.
Humans have been struggling to invent, use and adapt to technology since our earliest civilizations. But the technology and resulting knowledge are not always evenly distributed. Knowing how we adapted to changing technology in the past helps us more fully understand the human condition and may even help us prepare for the future.
22. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning Mesopotamians?
A. Their adaptation to threats.
B. Their influences on writing.
C. Their contribution to literature.
D Their achievements in civilization.
23. What can be inferred about technological advances from paragraph 3?
A. They prevent human conflict.
B. They bring about hidden dangers.
C. They take away people’s concerns.
D. They lower people’s social status.
24. What is the current situation of AI according to paragraph 4?
A. Its use in literature is popular.
B. It is not allowed to finish papers.
C. Its range of application is undefined.
D. It is not accepted in broader fields.
25. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. How People Can Use the Latest Technology
B. How ChatGPT Will Threaten Writing and Work
C. What AI Will Do by Learning Cuneiform Literature
D. What History Can Teach Us About New Tech’s Impact
【答案】22. D 23. B 24. C 25. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要通过讲述历史上美索不达米亚人的科技成就及其影响来启示当今的科技发展及影响。
【22题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段的“Ancient Mesopotamia was home to many of civilization’s early developments. Its people were world leaders in adapting to technological and cultural changes. They invented the wheel and agriculture, and pioneered advances in mathematics and urbanization. These breakthroughs are reflected in cuneiform(楔形文字)literature,one of the oldest known forms of writing.(古代美索不达米亚是许多早期文明发展的发源地。它的人民在适应技术和文化变化方面处于世界领先地位。他们发明了车轮和农业,开创了数学和城市化的先河。这些突破反映在楔形文字文学中,这是已知最古老的书写形式之一。)”,可知,关于美索不达米亚人,第二段主要讨论了“他们的文明成就”。故选D。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段的“They often represent new technologies being controlled in the service of human conflict and mostly serving the interests of those with high social positions.(它们通常代表着为人类冲突服务而被控制的新技术,主要为那些社会地位高的人的利益服务。)”,可知,从第3段可以推断出技术进步的“它们带来了隐患。”。故选B。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段的“In broader fields, the boundaries of how AI may be used haven’t been clearly explained.(在更广泛的领域,人工智能如何使用的界限还没有得到明确的解释。)”,可知,根据第4段,AI的现状是“它的应用范围是不明确的。”故选C。
25题详解】
主旨大意题。通过对文章结构和内容的分析,再根据最后一段“Humans have been struggling to invent, use and adapt to technology since our earliest civilizations. But the technology and resulting knowledge are not always evenly distributed. Knowing how we adapted to changing technology in the past helps us more fully understand the human condition and may even help us prepare for the future.(自最早的文明以来,人类一直在努力发明、使用和适应技术。但是技术和由此产生的知识并不总是均匀分布的。了解我们如何适应过去不断变化的技术有助于我们更全面地了解人类的状况,甚至可能帮助我们为未来做好准备。)”,可知本文主要通过讲述历史上美索不达米亚人的科技成就及其影响来启示今天的科技发展及影响。所以短文的标题为“关于新技术的影响,历史能告诉我们什么”。故选D。
