A
By the time she turned 18, Khadijah Williams had attended twelve schools. She had lived in shelters, in parks, and in motels, never in a permanent residence for more than a few months. She had been laughed at and looked down upon by students at a dozen schools who thought of her as “different”.
Homeless since early childhood, Khadijah struggled all her life to hide her circumstances from teachers and fellow students. However, academic achievement proved to be a way for her to find confidence in herself again. For instance, at the age of 9, she placed in the 99th percentile on a state exam, and her teacher told her she was “gifted”. From that moment forward, Khadijah decided to do whatever it took to keep herself in that category. “I was so proud of being smart. I often heard my fellow students say, ‘You got the easy way out because you're homeless,’” she told The LA Times. “But I never saw it as an excuse about living a less successful life.”
By the second year of high school, she realized that she could not succeed in getting the education she dreamed of without getting help to go beyond what her current school could offer. She talked to teachers and advisers who helped her apply for summer community college classes, scholarships, and enrichment programs. And in the 11th grade, when she enrolled at Jefferson High School, she decided to complete the rest of her school career there—a decision that meant taking a bus each morning at 4 a.m. and not getting home until 11 p.m.
Here's the end of the story—when Khadijah poured the story of her life into her Harvard University college application, she was accepted.
21. What makes Khadijah confident in herself?
A. Her different personality. B. Her ability to live well alone.
C. Her excellent performance in study. D. Her fellow students' encouragement.
22. What do many students think of Khadijah's being homeless?
A. It's a really pitiful circumstance. B. It makes her more strong-minded.
C. It offers her more ways to succeed. D. It's an excuse about working less hard.
23. What did Khadijah's teachers and advisers help her do?
A. Pass a college entrance exam. B. Apply for more advanced education.
C. Make a decision to complete high school. D. Become a top student in her current school.
24. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Twelve Schools Make a Successful Student
B. Being Different Means Having More Chances
C. Khadijah Williams: From Shelters to Harvard
D. Khadijah Williams: Inspiration to Homeless People
【答案】21. C 22. D 23. B 24. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了自幼无家可归的Khadijah Williams辗转多所学校,饱受同学的嘲笑和轻视,最终在个人的努力和老师的帮助下成功考入哈佛大学的故事。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, academic achievement proved to be a way for her to find confidence in herself again.(然而,学习成绩证明是她重新找回自信的一种方式)”可知,在学习上的出色表现让Khadijah对自己充满信心。故选C。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中““I was so proud of being smart.

【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“She talked to teachers and advisers who helped her apply for summer community college classes, scholarships, and enrichment programs.(她与帮助她申请暑期社区大学课程、奖学金和充实计划的老师和顾问进行了交谈)”可知,Khadijah的老师和顾问帮助她申请更高级的教育。故选B。
【24题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“By the time she turned 18, Khadijah Williams had attended twelve schools. She had lived in shelters, in parks, and in motels, never in a permanent residence for more than a few months. She had been laughed at and looked down upon by students at a dozen schools who thought of her as “different”.(到18岁时,Khadijah Williams已经上了12所学校。她住过收容所、公园和汽车旅馆,从来没有住过几个月以上的固定住所。她曾被十几所学校的学生嘲笑和看不起,他们认为她“与众不同”)”以及最后一段“Here's the end of the story—when Khadijah poured the story of her life into her Harvard University college application, she was accepted. (这就是故事的结局——当Khadijah把她的生活经历倾注到她的哈佛大学申请中时,她被录取了)”结合本文讲述了自幼无家可归的Khadijah Williams辗转多所学校,饱受同学的嘲笑和轻视,最终在个人的努力和老师的帮助下成功考入哈佛大学的故事,C选项“Khadijah Williams:从收容所到哈佛”最符合文章标题。故选C。
B
Lac Rose in Senegal about 30 kilometers northeast of Dakar, is the highest salinity(盐度) lake in the world. Much higher salinity is what gives the lake its famous pink color that changes from a slightly rose pink in the rainy season into a super bright pink during the dry season when salinity at its highest.
The high salt content draws the salt harvesters(收获者)to its banks . First, to protect their skin from the salt, they put a kind of natural vegetable fat on their bodies before entering the water. Using a wooden tool, they drag the salt into the basket made from reeds(a kind of plant). There are three different kinds of salt. There's a type of very powdery salt that is only gathered during the Harmattan when the western winds blow from the Sahara over West Africa every year. As the finest or highest grade of salt, the powdery salt is used mainly for cooking. The second type of salt is rougher and always present at the bottom of the lake. This type of salt is generally used for general cooking. Sometimes it is even used for building roads. The third type of salt is the roughest kind that people prefer for their beauty treatments. To harvest this type of salt, salt harvesters put some wood to the bottom of the lake and over time, big salt crystals(晶体)begin to form on them.
Lac Rose is considered as a world heritage site and the local people are willing to share their beauty. The healthy, natural regulation(制度)of the use of the natural resources of this lake is one of the most impressive aspects of the community surrounding this lake. There are no laws needed to protect it. Everyone takes a little bit of what they need and nothing more. There is enough for everyone in the local community. It is a good example of the power of respect and trust in local community.
25. What causes the change of the lake’s pink color?
A. The temperature of the water. B. The salinity of the lake.
C. The height above sea level. D. The height of the sun.
26. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. Powdery salt can be get at any time.
B. Rougher salt contributes to making women beautiful.
C. Harvesters suffer a skin problem because of their work.
D. Harvesters try to do no harm to the lake while working.
27. Which word can best describe the local people?
A. Poor. B. Brave. C. Responsible. D. Humorous.
28. In which section of a newspaper can we find the text?
A. Health B. Technology C. Nature D. Business
【答案】25. B 26. D 27. C 28. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了世界上盐度最高的湖——玫瑰湖,以及当地人怎样收获玫瑰湖里的盐和对它的保护。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Lac Rose in Senegal about 30 kilometers northeast of Dakar, is the highest salinity(盐度) lake in the world. Much higher salinity is what gives the lake its famous pink color that changes from a slightly rose pink in the rainy season into a super bright pink during the dry season when salinity at its highest.(位于塞内加尔达喀尔东北约30公里处的玫瑰湖是世界上盐度最高的湖。较高的盐度使湖面呈现出著名的粉色,从雨季的微玫瑰红变成旱季盐度最高时的超亮粉色)”可知湖的盐度导致湖面呈现粉色,故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“To harvest this type of salt, salt harvesters put some wood to the bottom of the lake and over time, big salt crystals(晶体)begin to form on them.(为了收获这种类型的盐,采盐者把一些木头放在湖底,随着时间的推移,大的盐晶体开始在上面形成)”可知,收获者用传统的方法收集湖里的盐。由此推知,他们这样做是为了尽量不对湖造成危害。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The healthy, natural regulation(制度)of the use of the natural resources of this lake is one of the most impressive aspects of the community surrounding this lake. There are no laws needed to protect it. Everyone takes a little bit of what they need and nothing more. There is enough for everyone in the local community. It is a good example of the power of mutual respect and trust in local community.(对湖泊自然资源使用的健康、自然的管理是这个湖周围社区最令人印象深刻的方面之一。不需要法律来保护它。每个人都只拿一点他们需要的东西,仅此而已。当地社区的每个人都有足够的食物。这是当地社区相互尊重和信任的力量的一个很好的例子)”可知,即使没有法律保护,当地人对湖泊也能健康的使用,由此可推断当地人是负责任的,故选C。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据整篇文章,尤其最后一段“Lac Rose is considered as a world heritage site and the local people are willing to share their beauty. The healthy, natural regulation(制度)of the use of the natural resources of this lake is one of the most impressive aspects of the community surrounding this lake. There are no laws needed to protect it. Everyone takes a little bit of what they need and nothing more. There is enough for everyone in the local community. It is a good example of the power of respect and trust in local community.(玫瑰湖被认为是世界遗产,当地人愿意分享这一美好的事物。对湖泊自然资源使用的健康、自然的管理是这个湖周围社区最令人印象深刻的方面之一。不需要法律来保护它。每个人都只拿一点他们需要的东西,仅此而已。当地社区的每个人都有足够的食物。这是当地社区相互尊重和信任的力量的一个很好的例子)”可知文章主要介绍世界上盐度最高的湖——玫瑰湖,怎样收获玫瑰湖里的盐和当地人对玫瑰湖的保护。是与自然相关的话题,由此推知本文很有可能出自报纸的“自然”版块。故选C。
C
If you recently had trouble figuring out if an image of a person is real or generated through artificial intelligence (AI), you’re not alone. A new study from University of Waterloo researchers found that people had more difficulty than was expected distinguishing who is a real person and who is artificially generated.
The Waterloo study saw 260 participants provided with 20 unlabeled pictures: 10 of which were of real people obtained from Google searches, and the other 10 generated by Stable Diffusion or DALL-E, two commonly used AI programs that generate images.
Participants were asked to label each image as real or AI-generated and explain why they made their decision. Only 61% of participants could tell the difference between AI-generated people and real ones, far below the 85% threshold (门槛) that researchers expected. “People are not as adept at making the distinction as they think they are,” said Andreea Pocol, a PhD candidate in Computer Science at the University of Waterloo.
Participants paid attention to details such as fingers, teeth, and eyes as possible indicators when looking for AI-generated content - but their assessments weren’t always correct. Pocol noted that the nature of the study allowed participants to compare photos in detail, while most Internet users look at images in passing. “People who are just doomscrolling (滚动) or don’t have time won’t pick up on these clues,” Pocol said.
Pocol added that the extremely rapid rate at which AI technology is developing makes it particularly difficult to understand the potential for malicious or illegal action posed by AI-generated images. The pace of academic research and legislation (立法) isn’t often able to keep up: AI-generated images have become even more realistic since the study began in late 2022.
“Disinformation isn’t new, but the tools of disinformation have been constantly shifting and progressing,” Pocol said. “It may get to a point where people, no matter how trained they are, will still struggle to differentiate real images from fakes. That’s why we need to develop tools to identify and counter this.”
29. What does the underlined word “adept” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Expert. B. Quick. C. Alarmed. D. Puzzled.
30. What decreased the accuracy of the result of the experiment?
A. Ignoring facial expressions. B. Drawing a conclusion in a hurry.
C. Lacking professional guidance. D. Failing to distinguish the details.
31. What’s Pocol’s advice on dealing with disinformation?
A. Providing people with related training. B. Banning the spread of fake information.
C. Doing some field research in person. D. Developing practical tools to identify it.
32. What is the text mainly about?
A. Methods of distinguishing disinformation. B. Threats caused by AI-generated images.
C. Difficulties in telling AI-generated images. D. Differences between artificial and real images.
【答案】29 A 30. B 31. D 32. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了滑铁卢大学研究人员发现人们在区分真实人物图像与AI生成图像时遇到的困难,并介绍了研究的具体情况及结果。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Only 61% of participants could tell the difference between AI-generated people and real ones, far below the 85% threshold (门槛) that researchers expected.(只有61%的参与者能够分辨出人工智能生成的人和真实人物之间的区别,远低于研究人员预期的85%的门槛)”可知,人们并不像自己认为的那样善于区分。所以划线词的意思是“擅长的,熟练的”与A选项“熟练的”同义。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Participants paid attention to details such as fingers, teeth, and eyes as possible indicators when looking for AI-generated content - but their assessments weren’t always correct. Pocol noted that the nature of the study allowed participants to compare photos in detail, while most Internet users look at images in passing.(在寻找人工智能生成的内容时,参与者会注意手指、牙齿和眼睛等细节,作为可能的指标,但他们的评估并不总是正确的。Pocol指出,这项研究的本质是允许参与者详细地比较照片,而大多数互联网用户都是匆匆看照片)”可知,匆忙下结论降低了实验结果的准确性。故选B项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“That’s why we need to develop tools to identify and counter this.(这就是为什么我们需要开发工具来识别和应对这种情况)”可知,Pocol对处理虚假信息的建议是开发实用的工具来识别它。故选D项。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“If you recently had trouble figuring out if an image of a person is real or generated through artificial intelligence (AI), you’re not alone. A new study from University of Waterloo researchers found that people had more difficulty than was expected distinguishing who is a real person and who is artificially generated.(如果你最近很难弄清楚一个人的图像是真实的还是通过人工智能生成的,那么你并不孤单。滑铁卢大学研究人员的一项新研究发现,人们比预期更难以区分谁是真人,谁是人造的)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要讨论了人们在区分人工智能生成的图像时遇到的困难。故选C项。

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a ___53___ (total) different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid.
The word “third-culture kid” ___54___ (use) in the 1960s for the first time by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon while ___55___ (research) North American children living in India. In general, third-culture kids benefit ___56___ their intercultural experience and they often reach excellent academic results.

For example, after living in Australia for many years, Louis finally returned to the country ___61___ she was born. She didn’t know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends. And she didn’t share ____62____ same values as other teens of her age.
【答案】53. totally
54. was used
55. researching
56. from 57. being
58. themselves
59. to develop
60. easier 61. where
62. the
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“第三文化儿童”这一概念,以及这种跨文化经历给孩子带来的益处和弊端。
【53题详解】
考查副词。句意:你是否在一种文化中长大,你的父母来自另一种文化,而你现在生活在一个完全不同的国家?由副词修饰形容词可知,此处为副词totally作状语修饰形容词different。故填totally。
【54题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:“第三文化儿童”这个词是在20世纪60年代由鲁斯博士首次使用的。根据句中in the 1960s可知,句中描述的是过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,主语The word “third-culture kid”单数名词和谓语动词use为被动关系,所以为一般过去时的被动语态结构。故填was used。
【55题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意:在研究生活在印度的北美儿童时,她第一次发现了这一现象。分析句子可知,此处为while引导时间状语从句的省略用法,当主从句主语一致时,可省略从句的主语和be动词,此处省略主语She和be动词was,句子主语She和research为主动关系,所以为现在分词形式。故填researching。
【56题详解】
考查动词短语。句意:总的来说,第三文化的孩子从他们的跨文化经历中受益,他们通常会取得优异的学业成绩。分析句子可知,此处为动词短语benefit from“从……中收益”,满足句意要求。故填from。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:然而,作为一个第三文化孩子并不总是那么容易。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词中的动名词作句子的主语成分。故填being。
【58题详解】
考查代词。句意:第三文化的孩子可能无法适应新环境。分析句子可知,句中涉及固定短语adapt oneself to,意为“使自己适应或习惯于……”,所以此处为they的反身代词themselves的填入。故填themselves。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:此外,他们经常发现很难发展新的友谊。分析句子可知,此处为固定句型find it hard to do sth.“发现做某事很难”,句中it为形式宾语,动词不定式to do作真正的宾语,所以此处为动词不定式形式。故填to develop。
【60题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:而且,对于一个来自第三文化的孩子来说,搬到一个新的国家比回到自己的祖国要容易得多。由空后的than可知,此处为形容词比较级形式作表语。故填easier。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:例如,在澳大利亚生活多年后,路易斯终于回到了她出生的国家。分析句子可知,该空引导限制性定语从句,先行词country,关系词替代先行词在从句中作地点状语成分,此处为关系副词where。故填where。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意:她和其他同龄的青少年有着不同的价值观。根据句意以及空后same可知,此处为固定短语the same“同样的”,满足句意要求,所以此处为定冠词the的填入。故填the。

【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意:1967年,中国政府成立了一个科学家小组,目的是发现一种新的疟疾治疗方法,屠呦呦是第一批被选中的研究人员之一。“以……为目的”为固定短语“with the objective of”,符合句意,故填with the objective of。

【答案】Upon hearing##On hearing
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意:一听到她获得诺贝尔奖,她就说:“荣誉不仅仅是我的。我身后有一个团队,还有我国的全体人民。”表示“听到”应用hear;表示“一……就”应用upon/on doing。首字母大写。故填Upon/On hearing。
65. He had a thick moustache and long white hair, which sometimes ____________ (竖立起来) as though he had just received an electric shock. (根据汉语提示完成句子)
【答案】stood on end
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语和时态。句意:他长着浓密的小胡子和长长的白发,有时直立起来,好像刚挨了电击似的。竖立起来为固定短语“stand on end”,为从句谓语,根据主句时态可知应用一般过去时,故填stood on end。

68. Giving up my job to go back to full-time education was a big__________(commit), but now I know it was the best decision I ever made. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】commitment
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:放弃工作重新参加全职教育是一个很大的投入,但现在我知道这是我做过的最好的决定。空处作表语,表示“承诺,致力”,应填名词commitment,上文冠词a提示应用单数。故填commitment。
69. He acknowledged ________ (donate) a great deal of money to the flooded area. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】donating##having donated
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:他承认向洪灾地区捐赠了大量资金。“承认做过某事”,通常用acknowledge doing sth.,或acknowledge having done sth.。故填donating/having donated。
70. I insisted that a doctor _______________ (send) for immediately. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】(should) be sent
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意:我坚持要求马上去请医生。设空处为从句谓语,根据主句的insisted“坚持要求”可知本句是虚拟语气,从句为用(should)+动词原形,从句主语和谓语是被动关系,应用被动语态,故填(should) be sent。
71. Later I went to a café to have lunch but all the tables ____________ (occupy). (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】were occupied
【解析】
【详解】考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:后来我去了一家咖啡馆吃午饭,但所有的桌子都坐满了。设空处为谓语,根据上文的went可知用一般过去时,主语all the tables和谓语occupy“占据,占用”之间是被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态,并且主语是复数,be动词用were,故填were occupied。
72. To gain further development, the firm had to overcome its ____________ (resist) to new technology. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】resistance
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:为了进一步发展,该公司必须克服对新技术的抵制。设空处为宾语,应用名词resistance,意为“抵制”时是不可数名词,故填resistance。

An Unforgivable Mistake
A few years ago, the company I work for sent my wife and me to live in New York for a year. I’ve always loved jogging, so I was really happy when I found the apartment they had rented for us was next to Central Park. This meant that every morning I could go for a run before I went to work.
Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of muggers (行凶抢劫者) in the park, I didn’t usually take anything with me. How could they rob me if I didn’t have anything? But one morning my wife asked me to buy some bread on the way home, so I put a $10 bill in my back pocket.
It was a beautiful morning and the park was quiet with very few people walking or jogging around. While I was running, another jogger bumped (撞) into me. He apologized and continued running. For a while, I didn’t think too much of it. However, when I noticed the wide path where I was running, I thought it was kind of strange. The warning of muggers in the park occurred to me. It could have been a mugger! I suddenly became alarmed, so I checked my pocket. The money was missing! I immediately started to run after the jogger. I finally caught up with and grabbed him firmly by the arm. I started shouting and demanding that he give me the $10 bill. I’m not usually a hot-headed person, but I really lost my temper at that moment. I couldn’t believe the robbery was actually happening to me. Filled with anger, I shook my fist at him. This seemed to frighten him. He quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could.
I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got home, I couldn’t wait to tell my wife the story. “You won’t believe what happened to me,” I started with pride. She immediately interrupted (插话), “I know, you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
For several days, I waited at the same place.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked. For the rest of the day, I felt extremely guilty, with the innocent jogger and his “helplessness” on my mind. “How could I be so rude to him without knowing the truth? Why was it that the jogger gave me the money? I still remembered his frightened face when I scared him away like a monster. I decided to find a chance to apologize to him. The next morning, I got up and went to the park as usual, but not for jogging. I just hung around where I had met that jogger, but in vain.
Paragraph 2:
For several days, I waited at the same place. But to my disappointment, he didn’t turn up. It was almost a week later before I finally spotted him again. I, the “robber”, gave the $10 bill back to him and said sorry to him again and again. Fortunately, he forgave me for what I had done to him and said, “Oh, it doesn’t matter.” Many years have passed, but I can still feel my cheeks burning with shame. From the experience I have learned that it is too early to judge a person before you know the truth.

By the time she turned 18, Khadijah Williams had attended twelve schools. She had lived in shelters, in parks, and in motels, never in a permanent residence for more than a few months. She had been laughed at and looked down upon by students at a dozen schools who thought of her as “different”.
Homeless since early childhood, Khadijah struggled all her life to hide her circumstances from teachers and fellow students. However, academic achievement proved to be a way for her to find confidence in herself again. For instance, at the age of 9, she placed in the 99th percentile on a state exam, and her teacher told her she was “gifted”. From that moment forward, Khadijah decided to do whatever it took to keep herself in that category. “I was so proud of being smart. I often heard my fellow students say, ‘You got the easy way out because you're homeless,’” she told The LA Times. “But I never saw it as an excuse about living a less successful life.”
By the second year of high school, she realized that she could not succeed in getting the education she dreamed of without getting help to go beyond what her current school could offer. She talked to teachers and advisers who helped her apply for summer community college classes, scholarships, and enrichment programs. And in the 11th grade, when she enrolled at Jefferson High School, she decided to complete the rest of her school career there—a decision that meant taking a bus each morning at 4 a.m. and not getting home until 11 p.m.
Here's the end of the story—when Khadijah poured the story of her life into her Harvard University college application, she was accepted.
21. What makes Khadijah confident in herself?
A. Her different personality. B. Her ability to live well alone.
C. Her excellent performance in study. D. Her fellow students' encouragement.
22. What do many students think of Khadijah's being homeless?
A. It's a really pitiful circumstance. B. It makes her more strong-minded.
C. It offers her more ways to succeed. D. It's an excuse about working less hard.
23. What did Khadijah's teachers and advisers help her do?
A. Pass a college entrance exam. B. Apply for more advanced education.
C. Make a decision to complete high school. D. Become a top student in her current school.
24. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Twelve Schools Make a Successful Student
B. Being Different Means Having More Chances
C. Khadijah Williams: From Shelters to Harvard
D. Khadijah Williams: Inspiration to Homeless People

Lac Rose in Senegal about 30 kilometers northeast of Dakar, is the highest salinity(盐度) lake in the world. Much higher salinity is what gives the lake its famous pink color that changes from a slightly rose pink in the rainy season into a super bright pink during the dry season when salinity at its highest.
The high salt content draws the salt harvesters(收获者)to its banks . First, to protect their skin from the salt, they put a kind of natural vegetable fat on their bodies before entering the water. Using a wooden tool, they drag the salt into the basket made from reeds(a kind of plant). There are three different kinds of salt. There's a type of very powdery salt that is only gathered during the Harmattan when the western winds blow from the Sahara over West Africa every year. As the finest or highest grade of salt, the powdery salt is used mainly for cooking. The second type of salt is rougher and always present at the bottom of the lake. This type of salt is generally used for general cooking. Sometimes it is even used for building roads. The third type of salt is the roughest kind that people prefer for their beauty treatments. To harvest this type of salt, salt harvesters put some wood to the bottom of the lake and over time, big salt crystals(晶体)begin to form on them.
Lac Rose is considered as a world heritage site and the local people are willing to share their beauty. The healthy, natural regulation(制度)of the use of the natural resources of this lake is one of the most impressive aspects of the community surrounding this lake. There are no laws needed to protect it. Everyone takes a little bit of what they need and nothing more. There is enough for everyone in the local community. It is a good example of the power of respect and trust in local community.
25. What causes the change of the lake’s pink color?
A. The temperature of the water. B. The salinity of the lake.
C. The height above sea level. D. The height of the sun.
26. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. Powdery salt can be get at any time.
B. Rougher salt contributes to making women beautiful.
C. Harvesters suffer a skin problem because of their work.
D. Harvesters try to do no harm to the lake while working.
27 Which word can best describe the local people?
A. Poor. B. Brave. C. Responsible. D. Humorous.
28. In which section of a newspaper can we find the text?
A. Health B. Technology C. Nature D. Business
C
If you recently had trouble figuring out if an image of a person is real or generated through artificial intelligence (AI), you’re not alone. A new study from University of Waterloo researchers found that people had more difficulty than was expected distinguishing who is a real person and who is artificially generated.
The Waterloo study saw 260 participants provided with 20 unlabeled pictures: 10 of which were of real people obtained from Google searches, and the other 10 generated by Stable Diffusion or DALL-E, two commonly used AI programs that generate images.
Participants were asked to label each image as real or AI-generated and explain why they made their decision. Only 61% of participants could tell the difference between AI-generated people and real ones, far below the 85% threshold (门槛) that researchers expected. “People are not as adept at making the distinction as they think they are,” said Andreea Pocol, a PhD candidate in Computer Science at the University of Waterloo.
Participants paid attention to details such as fingers, teeth, and eyes as possible indicators when looking for AI-generated content - but their assessments weren’t always correct. Pocol noted that the nature of the study allowed participants to compare photos in detail, while most Internet users look at images in passing. “People who are just doomscrolling (滚动) or don’t have time won’t pick up on these clues,” Pocol said.
Pocol added that the extremely rapid rate at which AI technology is developing makes it particularly difficult to understand the potential for malicious or illegal action posed by AI-generated images. The pace of academic research and legislation (立法) isn’t often able to keep up: AI-generated images have become even more realistic since the study began in late 2022.
“Disinformation isn’t new, but the tools of disinformation have been constantly shifting and progressing,” Pocol said. “It may get to a point where people, no matter how trained they are, will still struggle to differentiate real images from fakes. That’s why we need to develop tools to identify and counter this.”
29. What does the underlined word “adept” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Expert. B. Quick. C. Alarmed. D. Puzzled.
30. What decreased the accuracy of the result of the experiment?
A. Ignoring facial expressions. B. Drawing a conclusion in a hurry.
C. Lacking professional guidance. D. Failing to distinguish the details.
31. What’s Pocol’s advice on dealing with disinformation?
A. Providing people with related training. B. Banning the spread of fake information.
C. Doing some field research in person. D. Developing practical tools to identify it.
32. What is the text mainly about?
A. Methods of distinguishing disinformation. B. Threats caused by AI-generated images.
C. Difficulties in telling AI-generated images. D. Differences between artificial and real images.

An Unforgivable Mistake
A few years ago, the company I work for sent my wife and me to live in New York for a year. I’ve always loved jogging, so I was really happy when I found the apartment they had rented for us was next to Central Park. This meant that every morning I could go for a run before I went to work.
Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of muggers (行凶抢劫者) in the park, I didn’t usually take anything with me. How could they rob me if I didn’t have anything? But one morning my wife asked me to buy some bread on the way home, so I put a $10 bill in my back pocket.
It was a beautiful morning and the park was quiet with very few people walking or jogging around. While I was running, another jogger bumped (撞) into me. He apologized and continued running. For a while, I didn’t think too much of it. However, when I noticed the wide path where I was running, I thought it was kind of strange. The warning of muggers in the park occurred to me. It could have been a mugger! I suddenly became alarmed, so I checked my pocket. The money was missing! I immediately started to run after the jogger. I finally caught up with and grabbed him firmly by the arm. I started shouting and demanding that he give me the $10 bill. I’m not usually a hot-headed person, but I really lost my temper at that moment. I couldn’t believe the robbery was actually happening to me. Filled with anger, I shook my fist at him. This seemed to frighten him. He quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could.
I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got home I couldn’t wait to tell my wife the story. “You won’t believe what happened to me,” I started with pride. She immediately interrupted (插话), “I know, you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
For several days, I waited at the same place.
