Born with hearing loss, Emily Jensen faced difficulties while pursuing (追求) a career she truly felt passionate about. As others doubted her abilities, all she hoped for was a chance to unlock her true potential (潜能) and feel a sense of belonging in the workplace. Jensen’s chance finally materialized when Cornell offered her an opportunity she had been seeking for nearly a decade.
Jensen first applied to the university for a job opening as a human resources (HR) assistant at the Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR) . Although she didn’t make it to the final round of interviews, a worker approached Jensen and suggested she connect with Larry, the head for human resources at the ILR School.
“They saw something in me,” Jensen said. “So, I met with Larry and his team. They were looking to develop their department and decided to bring me on board as an HR assistant.”
When Jensen first came on board at ILR, she needed special technology for her computer. Because of her hearing loss, additional equipment, such as a soundbar, is necessary to hear. “My team provided this from day one,” Jensen said. “It feels really good to be able to come into an environment that was already set up for my success from the very beginning.”
For many, disclosing a disability is not an easy thing to do, especially in the workplace. Fortunately, the ILR School and Jensen’s new HR team have created an environment where she not only feels comfortable doing so but is also valued for the role she plays.
“It’s a testament (证明) to my team and Larry, who is my biggest cheerleader,” Jensen said. “It was he who brought me on and saw what I was capable of, which led me to develop so much trust in myself.”
4. What can we know about Jensen?
A. She failed to attend college. B. She used to study at Cornell.
C. She topped other interviewees. D. She had trouble finding a job.
5. What impression did the ILR School give Jensen on the first workday?
A. Coldness. B. Warmth. C. Loneliness. D. Humour.
6. What did Jensen want to say in the last paragraph?
A. She is grateful to Larry. B. She is a good cheerleader.
C. She will build a positive culture. D. She saw her team make progress.
7. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. The Impressive Achievement B. The Road to a Successful Life
C. The Chance that Changed It All D. The Offer that Saved a Professor
C
Large language models (LLMs) have become a household name thanks to the role they have played in bringing generative (生成式) AI to the forefront of the public interest, as well as the point on which organizations are focusing to apply generative AI into numerous business functions and use cases.
LLMs, like ChatGPT, are trained on huge amounts of data — mostly everything on the Internet, including soft copies of countless printed books. They can “learn” different kinds of things in their reading — not just words but also phrases, symbols and mathematical equations.
LLMs’ arrival has triggered a heated debate among experts in the field. At the heart of the debate is whether LLMs actually understand what they are saying and doing, rather than just seeming to. Some researchers have suggested that LLMs do understand, and can reason like people. But computer scientist Melanie Mitchell holds a different view.
Consider this letter-string problem: You start with abcd and the next string is abce. If you start with ijkl, humans almost always say the second string should end with m. And so do LLMs. They have, after all, been well trained on the English alphabet. But suppose you raise the problem in a different order, such as a u c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t b v w x y z. Humans are still very good at solving letter-string problems. But LLMs usually fail. They are not able to generalize’ the concepts (概念) used on an alphabet they know to another alphabet.
“Being dependable and doing the right thing in a new situation is the central part of what understanding actually means,” Mitchell says. Human understanding, she says, is based on “concepts” — basically mental models of things like situations and events. Concepts allow people to infer cause and effect and to predict (预测) the probable results of different actions — even in new cases.
8. Why do LLMs receive public attention?
A. They give us free access to all e-books. B. They can perform a wide range of tasks.
C. They make ChatGPT part of our life. D. They will create large numbers of jobs.
9. What does the underlined word “triggered” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Caused. B. Hosted. C. Rejected. D. Marked.
10. What are LLMs unable to do according to Mitchell?
A. Shape our views on technology. B. Read an English passage.
C. Understand the world like humans. D. Answer general questions.
11. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A guidebook. B. A research plan. C. A children’s story. D. A science magazine.
D
In January, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook’s parent company Meta, appeared at a hearing to answer questions about how social media potentially harms children. Zuckerberg opened by saying: “The existing body of scientific work has not shown a causal link (关联) between using social media and young people having worse mental health.”
But many social scientists would disagree with that statement. In recent years, studies have started to show a causal link between teen social media use and reduced well-being. One of the most cited studies into this link focused on Facebook.
Researchers tried to discover whether the platform’s introduction across college campuses in the mid-2000s increased symptoms (症状) related to mental health problems. The answer was a clear yes, says Alexey Makarin, a coauthor of the study. “There is still a lot to be explored,” Makarin says, “but to say there is no causal evidence that social media causes mental health issues, and I definitely object to that.”
The concern and the studies come from data showing that social media use in teens aged 13 to 17 is now very common. Two-thirds of teens report using TikTok, and some 60 percent of teens report using Instagram or Snapchat, a 2022 survey found. Another survey showed that girls, on average, spend around 3. 4 hours per day on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, compared with about 2.1 hours among boys. At the same time, more teens are showing signs of depression than ever, especially girls.
As more studies show a strong link between these phenomena, researchers are starting to move their attention to possible solutions. Why does social media use seem to bring about mental health problems? Why do those effects unevenly exist among different groups, such as girls or young adults? And can the good points of social media be teased out (梳理) from the bad points to provide more targeted guidance to teens, their caregivers and policymakers?
12. Why does the author mention Zuckerberg’s words?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To offer a piece of advice.
C. To present the image of a company. D. To add background information.
13. What does Makarin’s study find?
A. It is important to network with others. B. Social media harms teens’ mental health.
C. The Internet plays a key role in our daily life. D. Messaging tools cause parents mental suffering.
14. Which is the percentage of teenagers using TikTok according to the 2022 survey?
A. 34%. B. 60%. C. 67%. D. 76%.
15. What will researchers probably do?
A. Focus on all the Internet users. B. Turn to teenagers’ caregivers.
C. Limit adults’ social media use. D. Work out targeted solutions.

Jensen first applied to the university for a job opening as a human resources (HR) assistant at the Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR) . Although she didn’t make it to the final round of interviews, a worker approached Jensen and suggested she connect with Larry, the head for human resources at the ILR School.
“They saw something in me,” Jensen said. “So, I met with Larry and his team. They were looking to develop their department and decided to bring me on board as an HR assistant.”
When Jensen first came on board at ILR, she needed special technology for her computer. Because of her hearing loss, additional equipment, such as a soundbar, is necessary to hear. “My team provided this from day one,” Jensen said. “It feels really good to be able to come into an environment that was already set up for my success from the very beginning.”
For many, disclosing a disability is not an easy thing to do, especially in the workplace. Fortunately, the ILR School and Jensen’s new HR team have created an environment where she not only feels comfortable doing so but is also valued for the role she plays.
“It’s a testament (证明) to my team and Larry, who is my biggest cheerleader,” Jensen said. “It was he who brought me on and saw what I was capable of, which led me to develop so much trust in myself.”
4. What can we know about Jensen?
A. She failed to attend college. B. She used to study at Cornell.
C. She topped other interviewees. D. She had trouble finding a job.
5. What impression did the ILR School give Jensen on the first workday?
A. Coldness. B. Warmth. C. Loneliness. D. Humour.
6. What did Jensen want to say in the last paragraph?
A. She is grateful to Larry. B. She is a good cheerleader.
C. She will build a positive culture. D. She saw her team make progress.
7. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. The Impressive Achievement B. The Road to a Successful Life
C. The Chance that Changed It All D. The Offer that Saved a Professor
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】

Large language models (LLMs) have become a household name thanks to the role they have played in bringing generative (生成式) AI to the forefront of the public interest, as well as the point on which organizations are focusing to apply generative AI into numerous business functions and use cases.
LLMs, like ChatGPT, are trained on huge amounts of data — mostly everything on the Internet, including soft copies of countless printed books. They can “learn” different kinds of things in their reading — not just words but also phrases, symbols and mathematical equations.
LLMs’ arrival has triggered a heated debate among experts in the field. At the heart of the debate is whether LLMs actually understand what they are saying and doing, rather than just seeming to. Some researchers have suggested that LLMs do understand, and can reason like people. But computer scientist Melanie Mitchell holds a different view.
Consider this letter-string problem: You start with abcd and the next string is abce. If you start with ijkl, humans almost always say the second string should end with m. And so do LLMs. They have, after all, been well trained on the English alphabet. But suppose you raise the problem in a different order, such as a u c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t b v w x y z. Humans are still very good at solving letter-string problems. But LLMs usually fail. They are not able to generalize’ the concepts (概念) used on an alphabet they know to another alphabet.
“Being dependable and doing the right thing in a new situation is the central part of what understanding actually means,” Mitchell says. Human understanding, she says, is based on “concepts” — basically mental models of things like situations and events. Concepts allow people to infer cause and effect and to predict (预测) the probable results of different actions — even in new cases.
8. Why do LLMs receive public attention?
A. They give us free access to all e-books. B. They can perform a wide range of tasks.
C. They make ChatGPT part of our life. D. They will create large numbers of jobs.
9. What does the underlined word “triggered” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Caused. B. Hosted. C. Rejected. D. Marked.
10. What are LLMs unable to do according to Mitchell?
A. Shape our views on technology. B. Read an English passage.
C. Understand the world like humans. D. Answer general questions.
11. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A guidebook. B. A research plan. C. A children’s story. D. A science magazine.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就大型语言模型的现状、特点、应用以及存在的争议进行了简要说明和分析。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“Large language models (LLMs) have become a household name thanks to the role they have played in bringing generative (生成式) AI to the forefront of the public interest, as well as the point on which organizations are focusing to apply generative AI into numerous business functions and use cases. (大型语言模型(LLMs)已经成为一个家喻户晓的名字,这要归功于它们在将生成式人工智能引入公共利益的最前沿方面所发挥的作用,以及组织专注于将生成式人工智能应用于众多业务功能和用例的重点)”可知,大型语言模型(LLMs)受到公众关注是因为它们可以执行多种任务。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后“At the heart of the debate is whether LLMs actually understand what they are saying and doing, rather than just seeming to. Some researchers have suggested that LLMs do understand, and can reason like people. But computer scientist Melanie Mitchell holds a different view. (争论的核心是,法学硕士们是否真的明白自己在说什么、在做什么,而不仅仅是表面上明白。一些研究人员认为法学硕士确实能理解,也能像人一样推理。但是计算机科学家梅勒妮·米切尔持有不同的观点)”可推断,LLMs的到来在该领域的专家中导致了激烈的争论。划线词的意思是“导致,引起”。A. Caused导致,引起;B. Hosted主持;C. Rejected拒绝;D. Marked标记。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Some researchers have suggested that LLMs do understand, and can reason like people. But computer scientist Melanie Mitchell holds a different view. (一些研究人员认为法学硕士确实能理解,也能像人一样推理。但是计算机科学家梅勒妮·米切尔持有不同的观点)”、第四段中“But suppose you raise the problem in a different order, such as a u c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t b v w x y z. Humans are still very good at solving letter-string problems. But LLMs usually fail. They are not able to generalize’ the concepts (概念) used on an alphabet they know to another alphabet. (但假设你用另一种顺序提出问题,比如uc de f h i k l n o p q r st b v x y z。人类仍然非常擅长解决字母串问题。但法学硕士通常会失败。他们不能把一个字母表上的概念推广到另一个字母表上)”可知,她指出LLMs无法像人类那样对新情境下的概念进行泛化,即它们不能将已知字母表上的概念应用到另一个字母表上。由此推知,Mitchell认为大语言模型不能像人类一样感知周围的世界。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第二段中的“LLMs, like ChatGPT, are trained on huge amounts of data — mostly everything on the Internet, including soft copies of countless printed books. (LLMs,像ChatGPT一样,接受了海量数据的训练——几乎是互联网上的一切,包括无数印刷书籍的软拷贝)”、第三段“LLMs’ arrival has triggered a heated debate among experts in the field.(LLMs的到来在该领域的专家中引发了激烈的争论)”可知,文章主要就大型语言模型的现状、特点、应用以及存在的争议进行了简要说明和分析。由此推知,本文可能出自一份科学杂志。故选D项。
D
In January, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook’s parent company Meta, appeared at a hearing to answer questions about how social media potentially harms children. Zuckerberg opened by saying: “The existing body of scientific work has not shown a causal link (关联) between using social media and young people having worse mental health.”
But many social scientists would disagree with that statement. In recent years, studies have started to show a causal link between teen social media use and reduced well-being. One of the most cited studies into this link focused on Facebook.
Researchers tried to discover whether the platform’s introduction across college campuses in the mid-2000s increased symptoms (症状) related to mental health problems. The answer was a clear yes, says Alexey Makarin, a coauthor of the study. “There is still a lot to be explored,” Makarin says, “but to say there is no causal evidence that social media causes mental health issues, and I definitely object to that.”
The concern and the studies come from data showing that social media use in teens aged 13 to 17 is now very common. Two-thirds of teens report using TikTok, and some 60 percent of teens report using Instagram or Snapchat, a 2022 survey found. Another survey showed that girls, on average, spend around 3. 4 hours per day on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, compared with about 2.1 hours among boys. At the same time, more teens are showing signs of depression than ever, especially girls.
As more studies show a strong link between these phenomena, researchers are starting to move their attention to possible solutions. Why does social media use seem to bring about mental health problems? Why do those effects unevenly exist among different groups, such as girls or young adults? And can the good points of social media be teased out (梳理) from the bad points to provide more targeted guidance to teens, their caregivers and policymakers?
12. Why does the author mention Zuckerberg’s words?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To offer a piece of advice.
C. To present the image of a company. D. To add background information.
13. What does Makarin’s study find?
A. It is important to network with others. B. Social media harms teens’ mental health.
C. The Internet plays a key role in our daily life. D. Messaging tools cause parents mental suffering.
14. Which is the percentage of teenagers using TikTok according to the 2022 survey?
A. 34%. B. 60%. C. 67%. D. 76%.
15. What will researchers probably do?
A. Focus on all the Internet users. B. Turn to teenagers’ caregivers.
C. Limit adults’ social media use. D. Work out targeted solutions.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了近年来,研究开始显示青少年使用社交媒体与幸福感下降之间存在因果关系。关于这种联系,被引用最多的一项研究集中在Facebook上。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“In January, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook’s parent company Meta, appeared at a hearing to answer questions about how social media potentially harms children. Zuckerberg opened by saying: “The existing body of scientific work has not shown a causal link (关联) between using social media and young people having worse mental health.” (今年1月,Facebook母公司Meta的首席执行官马克·扎克伯格出席了一场听证会,回答了有关社交媒体如何潜在伤害儿童的问题。扎克伯格开场说:“现有的科学研究并没有显示使用社交媒体和年轻人心理健康状况较差之间存在因果关系。”)”可知,作者提及Zucker berg的发言是为了引出本文话题。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Researchers tried to discover whether the platform’s introduction across college campuses in the mid-2000s increased symptoms (症状) related to mental health problems. The answer was a clear yes, says Alexey Makarin, a coauthor of the study. “There is still a lot to be explored,” Makarin says, “but to say there is no causal evidence that social media causes mental health issues, and I definitely object to that.” (研究人员试图发现,在2000年代中期,该平台在大学校园中的引入是否增加了与心理健康问题相关的症状。该研究的合著者阿列克谢·马卡林说,答案是肯定的。马卡林说:“还有很多东西有待探索,但要说没有因果证据表明社交媒体会导致心理健康问题,我绝对反对这种说法。”)”可知,马卡林的研究发现社交媒体危害青少年心理健康。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Two-thirds of teens report using TikTok, and some 60 percent of teens report using Instagram or Snapchat, a 2022 survey found. (2022年的一项调查发现,三分之二的青少年报告使用抖音,约60%的青少年报告使用Instagram或Snapchat。)”可知,根据2022年的调查显示三分之二(约67%)的青少年使用抖音。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“As more studies show a strong link between thesephenomena, researchers are starting to move their attention to possible solutions. (随着越来越多的研究表明这些现象之间存在密切联系,研究人员开始将注意力转移到可能的解决方案上。)”可知,研究人员可能会制定有针对性的解决方案。故选D。

At this moment, David’s bus arrived. Looking at his watch, the school bus and the anxious woman, he decided to continue helping her find the wallet despite the pressure of his own schedule.
Luckily, several minutes later, they found the small wallet under a car. The woman’s face was a picture of relief (宽慰) as she carefully cleaned the dirt on it. “I can’t thank you enough,” said the woman, opening the wallet and pulling out a piece of paper. “It includes my grandmother’s wish to find the poor student who has been supported by her. She passed away yesterday, and she wanted to send out her last gift.” Then, the woman was sorry for David’s missing the bus so she called a taxi, and said, “I’ll get you to school in no time.”

The headmaster knocked at the door and went in with the woman. “Excuse me,” the headmaster began, as the students turned their curious gazes towards him. “I have someone very special with me who has a story to share with you all.” With a smile, the woman explained the whole unexpected event in detail. Turning to David, the woman said, “You are a kind boy who deserves all.” Applause for the turn of kindness broke out in the classroom.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。大卫因一位匿名老妇人的持续资助而上学。一个周一的早晨,他起床晚了,匆忙赶往最后一班校车。等车时,他注意到一位女士焦急地翻找她的包。幸运的是,几分钟后他们在一辆车下找到了钱包。女士感激不已,打开钱包拿出一张纸,说这是她已故祖母的愿望——找到那位受她资助的学生,并送上最后的礼物。为了弥补大卫错过校车,女士叫了一辆出租车送他去学校。
【详解】1.段落续写
