The day always tells us how difficult it is to travel with a guide dog. Although guide dogs can go to public places now, Xu Jian, a blind woman, still faces many difficulties. “Every time I go out, it takes a lot of time to tell others that my dog is a guide dog,” she says. Xu went blind when in primary school, but she studied hard and found a good job after she left school. In 2016, Xu applied for a guide dog at the China Guide Dog Training Center in Dalian. After waiting for over a year, she welcomed Daimeng into her life. The Dalian center started training dogs in 2006 and the workers have trained about 400 guide dogs in the past years. Training guide dogs is quite different from keeping pet dogs. The workers feed and play with young dogs first, and then they train them for about one year and a half. A good guide dog should not get excited or scared easily. And if a dog doesn’t enjoy the job as a guide dog, the workers will stop training it. Usually, a guide dog works for 6 to 10 years. After that, they are usually adopted (收养) by the workers, the users or their families. 29. When was International Guide Dog Day in 2024? A. On 7th April B. On 24th April C. On 27th April D. On 30th April 30. Why does the writer give Xu Jian’s example? A. To tell a story. B. To show Xu’s love for dogs. C. To describe how Xu felt eight years ago. D.

Mantou, who is afraid of people. D. Juzi, who dislikes being a guide dog. 【答案】29. B 30. D 31.

So, can they tell jokes? This question was raised by UK comedian (喜剧演员) Karen Hobbs in one of her shows in June. Instead of the usual jokes she created, Hobbs told jokes written by Chat GPT. When Hobbs asked Chat GPT for a joke, it gave one about a man joking about getting bored with his shopping-obsessed (痴迷于购物的) girlfriend. Even when she asked to tell it from a woman’s perspective (视角), it was still a shopping-obsessed girlfriend but told in the first person. It’s no surprise that many jokes by AI come from a man’s perspective, as men are much more common in comedy. The BBC said that AI storytelling can only create stories based on (基于) what is already there. A good joke in real life can always change based on the audience’s reaction (反应). This is a skill that often leads comedians to improvise (即兴创作). That’s something that AI can’t do for now. For example, in improvisation, comedians don’t make preparations. They depend only on their natural reaction to the audience. However, that could change. Research is already being done to give AI a greater understanding of the world around it, which makes the future of AI jokes still uncertain. 32. What did Chat GPT give Karen Hobbs when she asked for a joke? A. A shopping list. B. A funny conversation. C. A joke from a woman’s perspective. D. A joke about a man and his girlfriend. 33. How will the the future of AI jokes be in the writer’s opinion? A. surprising B. uncertain C. thankful D. unbelievable 34. According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE? A. Women are common in comedy. B. AI can improvise when telling jokes. C. Jokes told by AI lack creative thinking. D. AI can’t give you answers to almost anything. 35. Where can you probably read this article? A. In a history book. B. In a novel. C. In a newspaper. D. In a travelling guide. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了人工智能能否讲笑话这一问题。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When Hobbs asked Chat GPT for a joke, it gave one about a man joking about getting bored with his shopping-obsessed girlfriend.”可知，Chat GPT给凯伦·霍布斯的是一个关于男人和他痴迷购物的女朋友的笑话，故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“which makes the future of AI jokes still uncertain”可知，作者认为AI笑话的未来是不确定的，故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“AI storytelling can only create stories based on what is already there.”以及“A good joke in real life can always change based on the audience’s reaction. This is a skill that often leads comedians to improvise. That’s something that AI can’t do for now.”可知，AI讲的笑话缺乏创造性思维，故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要讲述了关于AI讲笑话的相关研究和现象，这类文章可能出现在报纸上，故选C。 D I looked at myself in the dressing-room mirror unhappily. I was wearing a white leotard (紧身衣), and a white swim cap that hid most of my hair. I was one of 10 snowflakes (雪花) in our dance in school’s Winter Wonderland show. “Grandma, I really don’t feel like being in the show,” I said. Grandma Lani looked up from what she was making. “Why, mo‘opuna?” Mo’opuna means “grandchild” in Hawaiian. Grandma Lani has always lived in Hawaii. “You love to dance.” I used to love to dance. But Ms. Tuttle gave the lead role of the Snow Queen to Christine. Christine got to wear a blue leotard and a feathery skirt that spread out like a cloud every time she spun. And she got to do a dance on stage (舞台) all by herself. The snowflakes just had to run and spin to look like a snowstorm. I sighed. “I don’t like our dance. And no one would notice if I wasn’t there. There are so many of us.” “I would notice. So would your parents.” Grandma said. As Christine walked toward us, Grandma stopped and smiled at her. “What a beautiful costume(服装)!” Christine walked away, her skirt waving behind her. I hung my head. Grandma took my hand. “What’s up?” “And you won’t be able to see me among so many snowflakes,” I whispered. Grandma was going to speak when something outside the window caught her eye. She took my hand and my coat and pulled me out of the dressing room and through the doors to the outside. It was snowing. Grandma held her breath and I suddenly thought of something. “Grandma, have you ever seen snow before?” “Never, mo’opuna. In Hawaii, it snows only on the very tops of mountains. ” ① I had seen snow lots of times, but now I tried to see it differently, like it was new. I saw snowflakes flying through the air in different directions, shining brightly at us. So many snowflakes came together to create something magical. ② “Aloha,” Grandma whispered to the sky. Aloha can mean many things, including “love”, “hello”, and “good-bye”. “I don’t know when I’ll see something like that again.” “I do,” I said. I took Grandma Lani’s hand and pulled her back inside. ③ When the stage lights came up and the music started, I spun and ran with all of the other snowflakes. I didn’t care if Grandma Lani could see me. ④ 36. What role did the writer want to play in the beginning? A. The Snow Queen. B. A snowflake. C. A snowstorm. D. A granddaughter. 37. What did the writer mean by saying “I tried to see it differently” in Paragraph 5? A. She felt the cold of the snowflakes differently. B. She saw the last snowflake disappear soon. C. She discovered the beauty of the snowflakes. D. She found the snowflakes flying in all directions. 38. Which of the following shows the correct time order of the events? a. I complained to Grandma about my role. b. The teacher chose Christine to play the role of the Snow Queen. c. Grandma watched me spinning and running on stage. d. Grandma saw snow for the first time. A. d-c-a-b B. b-a-d-c C. a-b-d-c D. b-d-c-a 39. Where can we put “I was helping her see a snowstorm.” most properly? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 40. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Grandma Lani And Me B. Magical Snowflakes C. A Snowstorm for My Family D. A dance show 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. B 39. D 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在学校舞蹈演出中扮演一朵雪花。起初作者对这一角色有点排斥，但在雪天跟奶奶沟通时，得知这是奶奶第一次看到雪。为了帮奶奶完成再看一次雪的心愿，她全身心地投入到舞蹈表演中。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据“I used to love to dance. But Ms. Tuttle gave the lead role of the Snow Queen to Christine. Christine got to wear a blue leotard and a feathery skirt that spread out like a cloud every time she spun.”可知，她想扮演冰雪女王。故选A。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上下文内容可知，作者一开始不想扮演雪花，因为作者认为雪花平平无奇，不会被注意到，但当她和祖母一起聊天赏雪时，她开始以不同的眼光欣赏雪花，认识到雪花之美。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But Ms. Tuttle gave the lead role of the Snow Queen to Christine.”可知，老师把角色给了Christine，“Grandma, I really don't feel like being in the show”接着是作者向奶奶抱怨，“Grandma, have you ever seen snow before?” “Never, mo’opuna.”可知，奶奶第一次见到雪，最后在舞台上看到作者在舞台上旋转。所以是b-a-d-c。故选B。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，祖母在和作者聊天时，第一次看到雪，并感叹不知下次什么时候看到雪，所以她在舞台上的表演正是在帮祖母实现心愿。④处所在段落是对舞台表演地描写，由此可知，题干中这句话应放在④处。故选D。 【40题详解】 最佳标题。本文主要讲述了作者的一次表演经历，作者的心态从“不情愿扮演雪花”转变为“让祖母再次看到雪景”。选项C“一场献给家人的暴风雪”符合语境。故选C。 阅读下面短文，从所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺,结构完整，其中有一项是多余选项。 Have you ever noticed if the sky looks bluer in autumn than in summer? ____41____ And there are some reasons behind it. The Sun Sits Lower in the Sky In autumn, the days become shorter and the sun appears to “sit” lower in the sky. ____42____ So more of the sky is angled (成角度) away from the sun.

The day always tells us how difficult it is to travel with a guide dog. Although guide dogs can go to public places now, Xu Jian, a blind woman, still faces many difficulties. “Every time I go out, it takes a lot of time to tell others that my dog is a guide dog,” she says. Xu went blind when in primary school, but she studied hard and found a good job after she left school. In 2016, Xu applied for a guide dog at the China Guide Dog Training Center in Dalian. After waiting for over a year, she welcomed Daimeng into her life. The Dalian center started training dogs in 2006 and the workers have trained about 400 guide dogs in the past years. Training guide dogs is quite different from keeping pet dogs. The workers feed and play with young dogs first, and then they train them for about one year and a half. A good guide dog should not get excited or scared easily. And if a dog doesn’t enjoy the job as a guide dog, the workers will stop training it. Usually, a guide dog works for 6 to 10 years. After that, they are usually adopted (收养) by the workers, the users or their families. 29. When was International Guide Dog Day in 2024? A. On 7th April B. On 24th April C. On 27th April D. On 30th April 30. Why does the writer give Xu Jian’s example? A. To tell a story. B. To show Xu’s love for dogs. C. To describe how Xu felt eight years ago. D. To show the difficulty of traveling with a guide dog. 31. Which dog could be a good guide dog? A. Pipi, who is excited all the time. B. Happy, who is really friendly. C. Mantou, who is afraid of people. D. Juzi, who dislikes being a guide dog. C It seems you can ask artificial intelligence (AI) programs anything, and they’ll give you an answer. So, can they tell jokes? This question was raised by UK comedian (喜剧演员) Karen Hobbs in one of her shows in June. Instead of the usual jokes she created, Hobbs told jokes written by Chat GPT. When Hobbs asked Chat GPT for a joke, it gave one about a man joking about getting bored with his shopping-obsessed (痴迷于购物的) girlfriend. Even when she asked to tell it from a woman’s perspective (视角), it was still a shopping-obsessed girlfriend but told in the first person. It’s no surprise that many jokes by AI come from a man’s perspective, as men are much more common in comedy. The BBC said that AI storytelling can only create stories based on (基于) what is already there. A good joke in real life can always change based on the audience’s reaction (反应). This is a skill that often leads comedians to improvise (即兴创作). That’s something that AI can’t do for now. For example, in improvisation, comedians don’t make preparations. They depend only on their natural reaction to the audience. However, that could change. Research is already being done to give AI a greater understanding of the world around it, which makes the future of AI jokes still uncertain. 32. What did Chat GPT give Karen Hobbs when she asked for a joke? A. A shopping list. B. A funny conversation. C. A joke from a woman’s perspective. D. A joke about a man and his girlfriend. 33.

I was one of 10 snowflakes (雪花) in our dance in school’s Winter Wonderland show. “Grandma, I really don’t feel like being in the show,” I said.
