2023 Hot List: The Best New Restaurants in the World
Place des Fetes — New York City
This famous wine bar provides a spot with a rare sweet and warm atmosphere. For date night, go to the bar with views of the open kitchen, or fill up the large table in the back with a group and taste the entire item menu. Either way, do not miss the famous mushroom soup.
Le Doyenne — Saint — Vrain, France
Australian chefs James Henry and Shaun Kelly transformed the former stables (马厩) of a 19th-century private estate into a working farm, restaurant, and guesthouse driven by the principles of regenerative agriculture.

The 36-year-old Jia Juntingxian was born in Pingxiang, Jiangxi Province, and was blind in both eyes due to congenital eye disease. She has shown athletic talent since childhood and was selected as a track and field athlete by Jiangxi Disabled Persons’ Federation.
Although she can’t see the world, Jia breaks through the “immediate” obstacles again and again while running, letting the world see her. In her sports career, Jia has won 43 national and world-class sports medals. Among them, in 2016, she broke the world record and stood on the podium (领奖台) of the women’s T11-T13 4×100-meter relay event at the Rio Paralympics.
In 2017, Jia retired and chose to become a teacher at a special education school. Just a year ago, she found out that two young brothers, with visual impairments (视觉障碍), wanted to be an athlete. They had never attended a special education school and never achieved their athletic dream. Jia could only help them attend a local special education school. The experience made her realize that these children living in remote areas may have little knowledge of special education. Even she didn’t know about such schools until late into her education. Therefore, she decided to become more involved with special education.
Changing from a Paralympic competitor to a special education teacher, Jia said that there is no discomfort, “Because I understand the students as well as myself and know the inconveniences and difficulties of the children. I hope that every child is like a different seed.Through hard study, they can bravely realize their own life.”
Jia also has paid close attention to the rights and interests of disabled people. In 2021, Jia proposed the construction of audible (听得见的) traffic signals for blind people. Her advice to local authorities on dog management has resulted in more indoor public places allowing the disabled to enter with their assistance dogs. Jia and her husband founded a massage (按摩) shop and currently employ 16 visually impaired people, with an average monthly salary of 3,500 yuan per person.
Jia always believes that the world is a circle, as long as the love of others is constantly passed on, the whole society will be full of love!

Coral reefs in Florida have lost an estimated 90% of their corals in the last 40 years. This summer, a marine heat wave hit Florida’s coral reefs. The record high temperatures created an extremely stressful environment for the coral reefs, which are currently also experiencing intense coral bleaching (白化).
A coral is an animal, which has a symbiotic relationship with a microscopic algae (藻类). The algae gets energy from the sun and shares it with the coral internally. The coral builds a rock-like structure, which makes up most of the reef, providing homes and food for many organisms that live there. Coral bleaching is when the symbiotic relationship breaks down. Without the algae, the corals appear white because the rock skeleton becomes visible. If the bleaching continues for an extended period, the corals can starve to death without the energy.
Florida is on the front lines of climate change. It is also on the cutting edge of restoration science. Many labs, institutions and other organizations are working nonstop to protect and maintain the coral reefs. This includes efforts to understand what is troubling the reef, from disease outbreaks to coastal development impacts. It also includes harvesting coral spawn (卵), or growing and planting coral parts. Scientists moved many coral nurseries into deeper water and shore-based facilities during this marine heat wave. They are digging into the DNA of the coral to discover which species will survive best in future.
There are some bright spots in the story, however. Some corals have recovered from the bleaching, and many did not bleach at all. In addition, researchers recorded coral spawning. Although it’s not clear yet whether the larvae (幼虫) will be successful in the wild, it’s a sign of recovery potential. If the baby corals survive, they will be able to regrow the reef. They just have to avoid one big boss: human-induced climate change.
8. What does the underlined word “symbiotic” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Reliable. B. Opposite. C. Harmonious. D. Contradictory.
9. What caused the coral bleaching?
A. The rock skeleton. B. The microscopic algae.
C. The high temperatures. D. The symbiotic relationship.
10. Which is not the efforts scientists made to help coral reefs?
A. Transferring coral nurseries. B. Growing and planting coral spawn.
C. Researching the DNA of the coral. D. Figuring out the reasons for problems.
11. Which of the following best describes the impact of scientists’ efforts?
A. Identifiable. B. Predictable. C. Far-reaching. D. Effective.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了弗罗里达州的珊瑚礁因受高温天气影响而出现白化现象以及专家们为保护珊瑚礁所采取的措施。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中划线词所在句的下文“The algae gets energy from the sun and shares it with the coral internally. The coral builds a rock-like structure, which makes up most of the reef, providing homes and food for many organisms that live there. (藻类从太阳获得能量,并在内部与珊瑚分享。珊瑚形成了一个岩石状的结构,构成了大部分的珊瑚礁,为生活在那里的许多生物提供了家园和食物。)”可知,珊瑚分享藻类从太阳获得能量,珊瑚礁为生活在那里的许多生物提供了家园和食物;因此,藻类与珊瑚之间是相互依存的共生关系;由此可知,划线词所在句子意为“珊瑚是一种动物,它与一种微小的藻类有共生关系”,因此划线词symbiotic表达的意思是“共生的,相互依赖的”,与reliable表达的意思一致。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The record high temperatures created an extremely stressful environment for the coral reefs, which are currently also experiencing intense coral bleaching (白化).(创纪录的高温给珊瑚礁创造了一个极其紧张的环境,它们目前也在经历严重的珊瑚白化。)”可知,高温引起了珊瑚礁的白化现象。故选C。
【10题详解】
理解细节题。根据第三段中“Many labs, institutions and other organizations are working nonstop to protect and maintain the coral reefs. This includes efforts to understand what is troubling the reef, from disease outbreaks to coastal development impacts. It also includes harvesting coral spawn (卵), or growing and planting coral parts. Scientists moved many coral nurseries into deeper water and shore-based facilities during this marine heat wave. They are digging into the DNA of the coral to discover which species will survive best in future.(许多实验室、机构和其他组织都在不遗余力地保护和维护珊瑚礁。这包括努力了解是什么在困扰珊瑚礁,从疾病爆发到沿海发展的影响。它还包括收获珊瑚卵,或种植珊瑚枝节。在这次海洋热浪中,科学家们将许多珊瑚苗圃移到了更深的水域和海岸设施中。他们正在深入研究珊瑚的DNA,以发现哪些物种在未来存活得最好。)”可知,科学家们在不遗余力地保护和维护珊瑚礁,他们研究困扰珊瑚礁的因素、孵化珊瑚卵、种植珊瑚枝节、高温中把许多珊瑚苗圃移到了更深的水域和海岸设施中以及深入研究珊瑚的DNA以发现未来存活最好的物种;B选项“Growing and planting coral spawn.(种植珊瑚卵)”不是科学家所采取的保护措施。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“There are some bright spots in the story, however. Some corals have recovered from the bleaching, and many did not bleach at all. (然而,这个故事也有一些亮点。一些珊瑚已经从白化中恢复过来,许多珊瑚根本没有白化)”可知,经过科学家的努力,一些珊瑚已经从白化中恢复过来,许多珊瑚根本没有白化;由此可知,科学家们的努力有了成效。故选D。
D
Scientists at the UCL Institute for Neurology have developed new tools, based on AI language models, that can characterize subtle signatures in the speech of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia (精神分裂症). The research, published in PNAS, aims to understand how the automated analysis of language could help doctors and scientists diagnose and assess psychiatric (病) conditions.
Currently psychiatric diagnosis is based almost entirely on talking with patients and those close to them, with only a minimal role for tests such as blood tests and brain scans. However, this lack of precision prevents a richer understanding of the causes of mental illness and the monitoring of treatment.
The researchers asked 26 participants with schizophrenia and 26 control participants to complete two verbal fluency tasks, where they were asked to name as many words as they could either belonging to the category “animals” or starting with the letter “p” in five minutes. To analyze the answers given by participants, the team used an AI language model to represent the meaning of words in a similar way to humans. They tested whether the words people naturally recalled could be predicted by the AI model, and whether this predictability was reduced in patients with schizophrenia.
They found that the answers given by control participants were indeed more predictable by the AI model than those generated by people with schizophrenia, and that this difference was largest in patients with more severe symptoms. The researchers think that this difference might have to do with the way the brain learns relationships between memories and ideas, and stores this information in so called “cognitive maps”.
The team now plan to use this technology in a larger sample of patients, across more diverse speech setting, to test whether it might prove useful in the clinic. Lead author, Dr. Matthew Nour, said: “There is enormous interest in using AI language models in medicine. If these tools prove safe, I expect they will begin to be used in the clinic within the next decade.”
12. What is the disadvantage of current psychiatric diagnosis?
A. It is greatly related to blood tests. B. It mostly relies on talking with patients.
C. It refers to the words of patients’ family. D. It can’t comprehend schizophrenia deeply.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The process of the research. B. The tasks of the participants.
C The performance of researchers. D. The predictability of AI language models
14. What is Dr Matthew Nour’s attitude toward AI language models?
A. Unclear. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Negative.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI language new tools used in the clinic. B. AI language tools developed by scientists.
C. AI language models treating schizophrenia. D. AI language models diagnosing schizophrenia.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了利用人工智能语言模式帮助诊断精神分裂症。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Currently, psychiatric diagnosis is based almost entirely on talking with patients and those close to them, with only a minimal role for tests such as blood tests and brain scans. However, this lack of precision prevents a richer understanding of the causes of mental illness and the monitoring of treatment (目前,精神病诊断几乎完全基于与患者及其亲近者的交谈,血液测试和脑部扫描等测试只起到很小的作用。然而,这种缺乏准确性的情况阻碍了对精神疾病原因和治疗监测的更深入了解)”可知,传统方式最大的弊端是无法深入地理解精神分裂症的原因。故选D。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The researchers asked 26 participants with schizophrenia and 26 control participants to complete two verbal fluency tasks, where they were asked to name as many words as they could either belonging to the category “animals” or starting with the letter “p” in five minutes. To analyze the answers given by participants, the team used an AI language model to represent the meaning of words in a similar way to humans. They tested whether the words people naturally recalled could be predicted by the AI model, and whether this predictability was reduced in patients with schizophrenia. (研究人员要求26名患有精神分裂症的参与者和26名对照参与者完成两项语言流利性任务,要求他们在五分钟内说出尽可能多的单词,要么属于“动物”类别,要么以字母“p”开头。为了分析参与者给出的答案,该团队使用人工智能语言模型以类似于人类的方式表示单词的含义。他们测试了人工智能模型是否可以预测人们自然回忆的单词,以及这种可预测性在精神分裂症患者中是否降低。)”可知,第三段主要讲述了科学家是如何执行这项实验的,即科学研究的过程。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Lead author, Dr. Matthew Nour, said: “There is enormous interest in using AI language models in medicine. If these tools prove safe, I expect they will begin to be used in the clinic within the next decade. (首席作者Matthew Nour博士说:“人们对在医学中使用人工智能语言模型非常感兴趣。如果这些工具被证明是安全的,我预计它们将在未来十年内开始在临床上使用”。)”可知,Dr Matthew Nour对这项人工智能语言模式持肯定和乐观的态度。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据主旨段第一段中“The research, published in PNAS, aims to understand how the automated analysis of language could help doctors and scientists diagnose and assess psychiatric(精神病的) conditions. (这项发表在《美国国家科学院院刊》上的研究旨在了解语言的自动分析如何帮助医生和科学家诊断和评估精神疾病。)”可知,本文主要讲了人工智能语言模式帮助诊断精神分裂症。故选D。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
I used to work in a preschool for one and a half years, teaching the class for 2-year-olds. There was a head teacher and two assistant teachers(including me)in our class.
Maybe 8 months into my work, we had a new student named Jack, who was nearly 3 years old but hardly knew any words. In fact when he arrived, the only words he would say were “hi” and “no”. Based on our working experience, we suspected his parents just never interacted with him at home.
Every morning, Jack’s mom would drop him off with a totally blank expression. The moment they arrived, Jack would start crying, holding onto the hand or leg of his mother, who would just struggle to get the boy off her, saying “Let me go, Jack.” and then walk away without a look back. When she picked him up in the afternoon, Jack would run up to show her something but she would simply stare blankly at him and say “Let’s go, Jack.” If the teachers reported anything to her, she’d say “I see.” “Mhmm.”, giving us the same absent look.
Jack’s dad rarely came and he was just as bad. He obviously had an anger problem. Anytime he heard something negative had happened, he would turn red, stare angrily at his son and just say “HUH. Well. We will deal with it.” in such a cold voice.
As a result, the boy, who longed desperately for attention and love, was always bad-tempered (坏脾气). He would run, kick, hit, and even sometimes bite other kids. And when he did it he would laugh and turn to us to look for a reaction. We criticized and punished him again and again, but it didn’t work at all. After his second week, the lead teacher decided to talk to his mom about it. His mom just shrugged (耸肩), it off, gave that blank look and said, “Oh yeah, Jack is a handful (难管的人). I just can’t help it. ”The teachers were all shocked.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Having handled Jack for two months, we adjusted our approach.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To our great joy, Jack gradually changed.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Having handled Jack for two months, we adjusted our approach. Instead of punishing him every time he misbehaved, we tried to give him more positive attention. When he did well we praised him, and when he was sad we hugged him and played games with him. Slowly but surely, Jack started to open up. He would smile more often and even started babbling more words.
To our great joy, Jack gradually changed. He stopped hitting and biting other kids and even started playing nicely with them. Seeing the great changes that had taken place in their child, Jack's parents also deeply reflected on themselves. His parents started taking more of an interest in him and even started attending parent-teacher meetings. At the moment, I realize that every child needs love and attention, and that a little positivity can go a long way in changing a child’s life.

2023 Hot List: The Best New Restaurants in the World
Place des Fetes — New York City
This famous wine bar provides a spot with a rare sweet and warm atmosphere. For date night, go to the bar with views of the open kitchen, or fill up the large table in the back with a group and taste the entire item menu. Either way, do not miss the famous mushroom soup.
Le Doyenne — Saint — Vrain, France
Australian chefs James Henry and Shaun Kelly transformed the former stables (马厩) of a 19th-century private estate into a working farm, restaurant, and guesthouse driven by the principles of regenerative agriculture.

The 36-year-old Jia Juntingxian was born in Pingxiang, Jiangxi Province, and was blind in both eyes due to congenital eye disease. She has shown athletic talent since childhood and was selected as a track and field athlete by Jiangxi Disabled Persons’ Federation.
Although she can’t see the world, Jia breaks through the “immediate” obstacles again and again while running, letting the world see her. In her sports career, Jia has won 43 national and world-class sports medals. Among them, in 2016, she broke the world record and stood on the podium (领奖台) of the women’s T11-T13 4×100-meter relay event at the Rio Paralympics.
In 2017, Jia retired and chose to become a teacher at a special education school. Just a year ago, she found out that two young brothers, with visual impairments (视觉障碍), wanted to be an athlete. They had never attended a special education school and never achieved their athletic dream. Jia could only help them attend a local special education school. The experience made her realize that these children living in remote areas may have little knowledge of special education. Even she didn’t know about such schools until late into her education. Therefore, she decided to become more involved with special education.
Changing from a Paralympic competitor to a special education teacher, Jia said that there is no discomfort, “Because I understand the students as well as myself and know the inconveniences and difficulties of the children. I hope that every child is like a different seed.Through hard study, they can bravely realize their own life.”
Jia also has paid close attention to the rights and interests of disabled people. In 2021, Jia proposed the construction of audible (听得见的) traffic signals for blind people. Her advice to local authorities on dog management has resulted in more indoor public places allowing the disabled to enter with their assistance dogs. Jia and her husband founded a massage (按摩) shop and currently employ 16 visually impaired people, with an average monthly salary of 3,500 yuan per person.
Jia always believes that the world is a circle, as long as the love of others is constantly passed on, the whole society will be full of love!

A. She won 43 sports medals in her country.
B. She was strong-minded despite her disability.

5. What made Jia decide to occupy herself in special education?
A. The high salary of special education.
B. Her wish to enrich her life after sports.
C. Local government’s need for special education.
D. Her experience of helping two disabled brothers.

Coral reefs in Florida have lost an estimated 90% of their corals in the last 40 years. This summer, a marine heat wave hit Florida’s coral reefs. The record high temperatures created an extremely stressful environment for the coral reefs, which are currently also experiencing intense coral bleaching (白化).
A coral is an animal, which has a symbiotic relationship with a microscopic algae (藻类). The algae gets energy from the sun and shares it with the coral internally. The coral builds a rock-like structure, which makes up most of the reef, providing homes and food for many organisms that live there. Coral bleaching is when the symbiotic relationship breaks down. Without the algae, the corals appear white because the rock skeleton becomes visible. If the bleaching continues for an extended period, the corals can starve to death without the energy.
Florida is on the front lines of climate change. It is also on the cutting edge of restoration science. Many labs, institutions and other organizations are working nonstop to protect and maintain the coral reefs. This includes efforts to understand what is troubling the reef, from disease outbreaks to coastal development impacts. It also includes harvesting coral spawn (卵), or growing and planting coral parts. Scientists moved many coral nurseries into deeper water and shore-based facilities during this marine heat wave. They are digging into the DNA of the coral to discover which species will survive best in future.
There are some bright spots in the story, however. Some corals have recovered from the bleaching, and many did not bleach at all. In addition, researchers recorded coral spawning. Although it’s not clear yet whether the larvae (幼虫) will be successful in the wild, it’s a sign of recovery potential. If the baby corals survive, they will be able to regrow the reef. They just have to avoid one big boss: human-induced climate change.
8. What does the underlined word “symbiotic” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Reliable. B. Opposite. C. Harmonious. D. Contradictory.
9. What caused the coral bleaching?
A. The rock skeleton. B. The microscopic algae.
C. The high temperatures. D. The symbiotic relationship.
10. Which is not the efforts scientists made to help coral reefs?
A. Transferring coral nurseries. B. Growing and planting coral spawn.
C. Researching the DNA of the coral. D. Figuring out the reasons for problems.
11. Which of the following best describes the impact of scientists’ efforts?
A. Identifiable. B. Predictable. C. Far-reaching. D. Effective.
D
Scientists at the UCL Institute for Neurology have developed new tools, based on AI language models, that can characterize subtle signatures in the speech of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia (精神分裂症). The research, published in PNAS, aims to understand how the automated analysis of language could help doctors and scientists diagnose and assess psychiatric (病) conditions.
Currently, psychiatric diagnosis is based almost entirely on talking with patients and those close to them, with only a minimal role for tests such as blood tests and brain scans. However, this lack of precision prevents a richer understanding of the causes of mental illness and the monitoring of treatment.
The researchers asked 26 participants with schizophrenia and 26 control participants to complete two verbal fluency tasks, where they were asked to name as many words as they could either belonging to the category “animals” or starting with the letter “p” in five minutes. To analyze the answers given by participants, the team used an AI language model to represent the meaning of words in a similar way to humans. They tested whether the words people naturally recalled could be predicted by the AI model, and whether this predictability was reduced in patients with schizophrenia.
They found that the answers given by control participants were indeed more predictable by the AI model than those generated by people with schizophrenia, and that this difference was largest in patients with more severe symptoms. The researchers think that this difference might have to do with the way the brain learns relationships between memories and ideas, and stores this information in so called “cognitive maps”.
The team now plan to use this technology in a larger sample of patients, across more diverse speech setting, to test whether it might prove useful in the clinic. Lead author, Dr. Matthew Nour, said: “There is enormous interest in using AI language models in medicine. If these tools prove safe, I expect they will begin to be used in the clinic within the next decade.”
12. What is the disadvantage of current psychiatric diagnosis?
A. It is greatly related to blood tests. B. It mostly relies on talking with patients.
C. It refers to the words of patients’ family. D. It can’t comprehend schizophrenia deeply.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The process of the research. B. The tasks of the participants.
C. The performance of researchers. D. The predictability of AI language models
14. What is Dr Matthew Nour’s attitude toward AI language models?
A. Unclear. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Negative.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI language new tools used in the clinic. B. AI language tools developed by scientists.
C. AI language models treating schizophrenia. D. AI language models diagnosing schizophrenia.

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。
I used to work in a preschool for one and a half years, teaching the class for 2-year-olds. There was a head teacher and two assistant teachers(including me)in our class.
Maybe 8 months into my work, we had a new student named Jack, who was nearly 3 years old but hardly knew any words. In fact when he arrived, the only words he would say were “hi” and “no”. Based on our working experience, we suspected his parents just never interacted with him at home.
Every morning, Jack’s mom would drop him off with a totally blank expression. The moment they arrived, Jack would start crying, holding onto the hand or leg of his mother, who would just struggle to get the boy off her, saying “Let me go, Jack.” and then walk away without a look back. When she picked him up in the afternoon, Jack would run up to show her something but she would simply stare blankly at him and say “Let’s go, Jack.” If the teachers reported anything to her, she’d say “I see.” “Mhmm.”, giving us the same absent look.
Jack’s dad rarely came and he was just as bad. He obviously had an anger problem. Anytime he heard something negative had happened, he would turn red, stare angrily at his son and just say “HUH. Well. We will deal with it.” in such a cold voice.
As a result, the boy, who longed desperately for attention and love, was always bad-tempered (坏脾气). He would run, kick, hit, and even sometimes bite other kids. And when he did it he would laugh and turn to us to look for a reaction. We criticized and punished him again and again, but it didn’t work at all. After his second week, the lead teacher decided to talk to his mom about it. His mom just shrugged (耸肩), it off, gave that blank look and said, “Oh yeah, Jack is a handful (难管的人). I just can’t help it. ”The teachers were all shocked.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Having handled Jack for two months, we adjusted our approach.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To our great joy, Jack gradually changed.
