She is one of the world’s most celebrated swimmers. Jessica was the youngest athlete to win a Paralympics (残奥会)medal. But her path to becoming a champion has been anything but easy. Jessica was born in Irkutsk, Russia with a severe and rare disease — fibular hemimelia (悱侧半肢畸形). This means that part of her leg bones was missing or abnormal. Because of that, her young mother placed her in a Russian orphanage (孤儿院), fearing she could not care for Jessica Fortunately, she was adopted by an American family when she was 13 months old. She required 25 different surgeries to help her leg condition. But unfortunately, both of her legs had to be removed when she was just 18 months old. Jessica learned to walk with artificial legs. As a child, she took to sports including gymnastics, cheerleading, ice skating, biking and rock climbing. She began swimming at her grandparents’ house when she was 6. She started competitive swimming about 4 years later. She did really well in swimming. Shortly after she started competing, Jessica was selected as Maryland’s Female Swimmer of the Year with a Disability. Even though Jessica was annoyed with her physical limitations, she was encouraged to enter her first Paralympic Games in Athens, Greece. She won three gold medals in swimming at 12! But she did not rest on her success. Jessica has gone on to win 23 medals for Team USA at the Paralympics! While she began her career out of anger and annoyance, she now has a positive force on a mission to inspire the next generation of Paralympians! Her attitude and growth have been keys to her success. Jessica always believed she could do anything. As she says, “The only disability in life is a negative attitude.” 4. What happened to Jessica when she was a baby? A. She was left in the wild. B. She had her legs cut because of a disease. C. She had 25 operations on her leg. D. She was adopted by a Russian family. 5. When did Jessica begin to receive competitive swimming training? A.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了残疾女孩Jessica Long克服身体限制努力奋斗的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Jessica was born in Irkutsk, Russia with a severe and rare disease — fibular hemimelia (悱侧半肢畸形). (杰西卡出生于俄罗斯伊尔库茨克，患有一种严重而罕见的疾病——腓侧半肢畸形)”和第三段中的“But unfortunately, both of her legs had to be removed when she was just 18 months old. (但不幸的是，在她18个月大的时候，她的双腿都被切除了)”可知，在她18个月大的时候，Jessica的双腿因患病被截肢了。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“She began swimming at her grandparents’ house when she was 6. She started competitive swimming about 4 years later. (她6岁时开始在祖父母家游泳。大约4年后，她开始了竞技游泳)”可知，竞技游泳需要接受专业游泳训练，Jessica是在10岁时开始接受专业游泳训练的。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“While she began her career out of anger and annoyance, she now has a positive force on a mission to inspire the next generation of Paralympians! (虽然她出于愤怒和烦恼开始了自己的职业生涯，但她现在在激励下一代残奥会运动员的使命上拥有了积极的力量！)”可知，Jessica的事迹鼓舞着一代又一代的残奥运动员们。由此可推知，Jessica是残奥运动员们的榜样。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章最后一段“Jessica has gone on to win 23 medals for Team USA at the Paralympics! While she began her career out of anger and annoyance, she now has a positive force on a mission to inspire the next generation of Paralympians! Her attitude and growth have been keys to her success. Jessica always believed she could do anything. As she says, “The only disability in life is a negative attitude.” (Jessica在残奥会上为美国队赢得了23枚奖牌！虽然她在愤怒和烦恼中开始了她的职业生涯，但她现在有了一种积极的力量，她的使命是激励下一代残奥会运动员！她的态度和成长是她成功的关键。Jessica一直相信自己无所不能。正如她所说：“生活中唯一的残疾就是消极的态度。”)”可知，文章讲述了Jessica Long尽管双腿被截肢，但她永不言弃，在残奥会中赢得了游泳金牌的故事。由此可推知，作者想通过本文告诉我们“Nothing is impossible to a determined heart. (世上无难事，只怕有心人)”。故选C项。 C In recent years, towns across Italy have been racing to launch plans aimed at attracting new residents (居民) to revive the towns. From deserted homes selling for a euro, to ready-to-occupy houses at low prices, there has been a tendency (趋势) for competition. The picturesque town of Presicce is the latest to enter the game with a very alluring offer. Officials say they will pay people up to 30,000 euros to buy an empty house and take up residency. Even better, the houses for sale as part of the deal are priced around 25,000 euros. The cash motivation is expected to breathe new life into the depopulating town, where newborns are fewer each year. The history of Presicce dates back to the Middle Ages, developing quickly during the Renaissance (文艺复兴) as a place known for its fine wine, cheeses and cattle trade. It gains a name as a “town of green gold” for green olive trees and olive oil. Its location is extremely good, surrounded by the nature of the Salento area and close to beautiful beaches and clear waters of Santa Maria di Leuca. “There are many empty homes in the historical center built before 1991 which we would like to see alive again with new residents,” says local spokesman Alfredo Palese. “It is a pity seeing how our old districts full of history, wonderful architecture and art are slowly emptying.” According to Palese, a 2019 merger (合并) with the nearby town Acquarica to create the larger town Presicce-Acquarica has provided them with extra money to ensure the project can continue for years to come. “After the merger as per Italian law, our wider territory (领土) will be blessed with more public funds, about 1,000,000 euros per year for several years forward, which we intend to invest to renew the old district,” says Palese. The town hall has already launched other plans to attract more residents, including tax benefits to set up new business activities and baby bonuses for families with kids. 8. What problem do many Italian towns face? A. Economic issue. B. Rising business competition. C. Population reduction. D. Poor housing market. 9. What does the underlined word “alluring” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Attractive. B. Conditional. C. Official. D. Reasonable. 10. What’s the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 3? A. To show Presicce’s past glory. B. To introduce Presicce’s traditional culture. C. To advertise a historical town. D. To stress the importance of reviving Presicce. 11. Why did Presicce and Acquarica merge in 2019? A. To create wider territory. B. To follow Italian law. C. To attract more investment. D. To gain more funds. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了意大利各地的城镇都在竞相推出旨在吸引新居民来振兴城镇的计划。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“In recent years, towns across Italy have been racing to launch plans aimed at attracting new residents (居民) to revive the towns.(近年来，意大利各地的城镇都在竞相推出旨在吸引新居民的计划，以振兴城镇)”和第二段中“The cash motivation is expected to breathe new life into the depopulating town, where newborns are fewer each year.(现金激励有望给这个人口不断减少的小镇带来新的生机，这里的新生儿每年都在减少。)”可推知，许多意大利城镇面临人口减少的问题。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Officials say they will pay people up to 30,000 euros to buy an empty house and take up residency. Even better, the houses for sale as part of the deal are priced around 25,000 euros. The cash motivation is expected to breathe new life into the depopulating town, where newborns are fewer each year.( 官员们表示，他们将向购买空房子并居住的人支付高达3万欧元的费用。更妙的是，作为交易的一部分，待售房屋的价格在2.5万欧元左右。现金激励有望给这个人口不断减少的小镇带来新的生机，这里的新生儿每年都在减少。)”可知，能够以更低的价格购买房并且购买房子后还可以得到一笔费用，由此可知，这是一个非常诱人的条件。故可猜测划线单词alluring为“诱人的，有吸引力的”意思，和A选项Attractive“有吸引力的”意思一致。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The history of Presicce dates back to the Middle Ages, developing quickly during the Renaissance (文艺复兴) as a place known for its fine wine, cheeses and cattle trade. It gains a name as a “town of green gold” for green olive trees and olive oil. Its location is extremely good, surrounded by the nature of the Salento area and close to beautiful beaches and clear waters of Santa Maria di Leuca. “There are many empty homes in the historical center built before 1991 which we would like to see alive again with new residents,” says local spokesman Alfredo Palese. “It is a pity seeing how our old districts full of history, wonderful architecture and art are slowly emptying.”(普雷西塞的历史可以追溯到中世纪，在文艺复兴时期迅速发展，成为一个以优质葡萄酒、奶酪和牲畜贸易而闻名的地方。它因绿油油的橄榄树和橄榄油而被称为“绿色黄金之城”。它的位置非常好，被萨伦托地区的自然环境所包围，靠近美丽的海滩和圣玛丽亚迪卢卡的清澈海水。当地发言人Alfredo Palese说：“在1991年之前建造的历史中心有许多空置的房屋，我们希望看到新居民重新活跃起来。”“看到我们那些充满历史、奇妙建筑和艺术的老城区正在慢慢清空，真是太遗憾了。”)”可推知，作者写第三段的目的是强调振兴经济的重要性。故选D项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“According to Palese, a 2019 merger (合并) with the nearby town Acquarica to create the larger town Presicce-Acquarica has provided them with extra money to ensure the project can continue for years to come.(根据Palese的说法，2019年与附近的小镇Acquarica合并，创建了更大的小镇presicice-Acquarica，为他们提供了额外的资金，以确保该项目可以在未来几年继续进行。)”可知，Presicce和Acquica在2019年合并是为了获得更多的资金。故选D项。 D From AI-made jokes to Harry Potter fashion videos, AI can be used to make funny things. But can it be as funny as a human? And if it can, does it present a danger to comedy (喜剧) writers in the future? That’s something performers have been looking at in this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, running from Aug 4 to 28. Anyone can put on a show at the Fringe, and this year even robots were getting in on the act. One of Fringe’s big shows even used a small robot to come up with jokes from audience suggestions, which were then performed by humans. The results could be very funny, but sometimes they weren’t funny at all. That was part of the point, explained Piotr Mirowski, the show’s co-maker. “We do not use humans to ‘show off’ AI; instead, we use AI ‘to show’ its limitations, to showcase human creativity on the stage,” said Mirowski, according to the Guardian. But one performer at the Fringe said he’s using AI to make jokes for him because he’s out of ideas. Comedian Peter Bazely’s show has him playing a supporting role to “an entirely computer-generated (生成的) comedian” called AI Jesus. The Fringe review website, Chortle, talked about today’s AI concerns: “In a world where artists are worried that AI could end up doing their jobs for them, Bazely is said to be praying this one will do exactly that.” The reasons for companies wanting to use Al are certainly understandable, but the dangers they present to many people’s jobs are becoming more and more real, and that’s not very funny. From concerns in schools and colleges about students using ChatGPT for their work, to writers and actors worrying that AI could be used to replace them, fears about the dangers of AI are a hot topic in the world. Back in March of this year, a letter calling for a six-month stop on advanced AI development was signed by over 1,000 people working with AI technologies including Elon Musk and other well-known tech leaders, reported The New York Times. Then, in May, leaders in the AI industry signed a document warning that AI could present an extinction-level danger and “should be a global priority (优先事项) alongside... diseases and nuclear war.” 12. In what way is the Fringe unique this year? A. The AI-made jokes were very funny. B. It presented dangers to comedy writers. C. Some jokes were created by robots. D. Harry Potter fashion videos were shown. 13. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 4? A. AI Jesus is an expert in jokes. B. Bazely was positive about using AI. C. Al was used to show its creativity. D. Chortle was concerned about the use of AI. 14. Why does AI present a danger in the future? A. Because many people will use AI to show off. B. Because AI can present diseases and nuclear war. C. Because well-known tech leaders will stop developing AI. D. Because some people will probably be out of work. 15. What’s the author’s attitude to the future of the AI development? A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Negative. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了今年爱丁堡边缘艺术节上AI在喜剧表演中的应用及其引发的关于AI未来发展的讨论。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Anyone can put on a show at the Fringe, and this year even robots were getting in on the act. One of Fringe’s big shows even used a small robot to come up with jokes from audience suggestions, which were then performed by humans.(任何人都可以在艺穗节上表演，今年甚至连机器人都加入了这个行列。Fringe上的一个大型节目甚至使用了一个小型机器人根据观众的建议想出笑话，然后由人类表演)”可知，今年的Fringe独特之处在于一些笑话是由机器人创造的。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Comedian Peter Bazely’s show has him playing a supporting role to “an entirely computer-generated (生成的) comedian” called AI Jesus. The Fringe review website, Chortle, talked about today’s AI concerns: “In a world where artists are worried that AI could end up doing their jobs for them, Bazely is said to be praying this one will do exactly that.”(喜剧演员彼得·巴泽利在他的节目中扮演了一个由‘完全计算机生成的喜剧演员’AI耶稣担任主角的配角。边缘艺术节的评论网站Chortle谈到了当今的AI担忧：‘在一个艺术家担心AI最终会取代他们的工作的世界里，据说巴泽利在祈祷这一幕真的会发生。’)”可知，Bazely希望人工智能可以为他完成工作；由此可知，Bazely对AI的使用持积极的态度。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The reasons for companies wanting to use Al are certainly understandable, but the dangers they present to many people’s jobs are becoming more and more real, and that’s not very funny. From concerns in schools and colleges about students using ChatGPT for their work, to writers and actors worrying that AI could be used to replace them, fears about the dangers of AI are a hot topic in the world.(公司想要使用人工智能的原因当然是可以理解的，但它们给许多人的工作带来的危险越来越真实，这并不好笑。从学校和大学中对学生使用ChatGPT完成作业的担忧，到作家和演员担心AI会被用来取代他们，对AI危险的恐惧已成为全球热议的话题)”可推知，AI在未来会带来危险是因为它可能会让一些人失业。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Back in March of this year, a letter calling for a six-month stop on advanced AI development was signed by over 1,000 people working with AI technologies including Elon Musk and other well-known tech leaders, reported The New York Times. Then, in May, leaders in the AI industry signed a document warning that AI could present an extinction-level danger and “should be a global priority (优先事项) alongside... diseases and nuclear war.”(据《纽约时报》报道，早在今年3月，包括埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）和其他知名科技领袖在内的1000多名人工智能技术工作人员签署了一封呼吁停止先进人工智能开发6个月的信件。然后，在5月，人工智能行业的领导者签署了一份文件，警告说人工智能可能会带来灭绝的危险，‘应该成为全球优先考虑的问题……疾病和核战争’)”以及全文内容可知，本文从爱丁堡艺穗节上使用了机器人讲笑话引出人工智能的话题，阐述了节目制作者、演员、工智能行业的领导者等人的不同看法和态度，作者只是在客观地陈述事实，并没有讲述自己对人工智能的未来发展的看法，所以作者对人工智能的发展持客观态度。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It is natural for cats to feel threatened by unfamiliar cats, especially if they are generally more of a timid (胆小的) cat.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当向家中引入新猫时，如何让现有猫和新猫和平相处的一系列建议。 【16题详解】 上文“There are a lot of things you should do in advance.(有很多事情你需要提前做)”总体上陈述可以提前做很多事，下文“Set aside a room for it, making sure it has at least two comfortable sleeping areas, a water bowl, a feeding area, a scratching post and toys.(为它留出一个房间，确保它至少有两个舒适的睡眠区域、一个水碗、一个喂食区、一个抓挠柱和玩具)”具体说明需要给猫准备什么，F项“在带新猫回家前为其准备一个独立的空间。”表明要提前给新猫准备空间，承上启下。故选F项。 【17题详解】 下文“This will help it settle down and allows you to introduce it to your existing cat via scent.(这将有助于它安定下来，并允许你通过气味向现有的猫咪介绍新来的猫咪)”表明上文可以帮助新猫适应新环境，E项“新来的猫咪需要在它的房间里待几天。” 强调了新猫需要一段时间适应新环境，下文This指代E项内容，符合语境。故选E项。 【18题详解】 上文“Stroke one cat, especially around the cheeks and area in front of the cars, and then go directly to the other cat and stroke it.(抚摸一只猫，特别是在脸颊和耳朵前方的区域，然后直接去另一只猫那里抚摸它)”意味着如果先抚摸了一只猫，然后直接去抚摸另一只猫，C项“反向重复这个动作。”表明接下来应该反过来做，即先抚摸第二只猫，再去抚摸第一只猫。这样做是为了确保两只猫都能接触到对方的气味，从而帮助它们逐渐习惯彼此的存在，紧密承接上文。故选C项。 【19题详解】 下文“Firstly, shut your first cat in a separate room and allow your new cat out of its room to explore. Once the new cat is familiar with the layout of the house and where escape routes and safe places are, you can let your other cat out. Keep an eye on them for any avoidant or aggressive behavior, such as running away and hiding, cars going back or hissing.(首先，把你的第一只猫关在一个单独的房间里，让新来的猫从它的房间里出来探索。一旦新猫熟悉了房子的布局以及逃生路线和安全地点的位置，你就可以让另一只猫出来了。注意观察它们是否有回避或攻击性的行为，比如逃跑和躲藏、耳朵向后或发出嘶嘶声)”提到了在猫咪首次见面时应密切注意它们的行为，A项“密切观察”概括下文内容，适合作为本段的小标题。故选A项。 【20题详解】 上文“Keep an eye on them for any avoidant or aggressive behavior, such as running away and hiding, cars going back or hissing.(注意观察它们是否有回避或攻击性的行为，比如逃跑和躲藏、耳朵向后或发出嘶嘶声)”表明要注意猫的行为，D项“并在情况变得无法挽回之前准备好采取行动。”意味着在猫咪之间发生冲突之前要做好准备采取措施，承接上文，符合语境。故选D项。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When I was a child, my mom liked to make food for dinner every now and then.

Look who I brought home!” My father stuck his head out from behind the door, flashing a big smile. My heart skipped a beat as I mouthed, “A dog?” Nodding, my father pushed the door open, revealing a large German Shepherd. I grasped my hands tightly over my mouth and failed to hold back a sharp scream. Rushing back into my room, I locked the door and covered the gap between it and the floor with tape. I had a strong fear and great hate of dogs ever since I was bitten by one badly on the face, leaving a huge and deep scar(伤疤). I decided to stay in my room until the dog had gone for a walk with my father. After what seemed like ages, I heard the door open and shut. “Finally! I can get out of here,” I thought. Out of great joy, I threw open the door and punched(用拳猛击) the air. At that moment, I felt something wet touching my foot. To my shock, it was the dog! I stood there, scared and shocked as if my feet were rooted to the ground. When I regained my calmness, I shouted loudly, “Ahhh! It is the dog! Help! He wants to bite me! Get him away from me!” My father was standing at the door, folding his arms and laughing quietly. “He is not going to eat you! Jane, don’t be so scared. Go on! Touch him!” he said. Attempting to show my unwillingness, I failed to do so due to my constant and uncontrollable shaking. Instead, I shouted loudly, “Never! I will never touch that dirty thing! Go away!” I picked up a tennis ball on the table and aimed at the dog but missed, causing the ball to roll across the living room. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 The dog barked excitedly before running across the room to fetch the ball and bring it back to me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The following day, gathering my courage, I decided to follow my father when he took the dog out for a walk. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The dog barked excitedly before running across the room to fetch the ball and bring it back to me. I was about to open my mouth to say “So cute”, but I resisted the urge and shouted, “Stupid dog! That is my favourite tennis ball and you just covered it with your mouth liquid! You stupid dog!” Unfortunately, the look on my face sold me out. I was laughing, my eyes lit up and I started to pet the dog. He was just so cute and lovable, and began to lie on his stomach beside my feet, enjoying my touch with his eyes slightly closed. The following day, gathering my courage, I decided to follow my father when he took the dog out for a walk. Filled with joy and enthusiasm, I opened the gate. Just as I put one foot outside the gate, suddenly, deep barks sounded from up ahead. At the sight of several dogs wondering there, I stopped with my legs trembling! All at once, my dog violently barked back, causing the dogs to flee away. I regained my calmness, smiled and praised my dog. We three walked on, breathing the sweet air. From that day on, I overcame my problem—my fear of dogs. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因为小时候被狗咬伤，导致她很怕狗，她的父亲买了一只德国牧羊犬，在这只狗的陪伴下，作者克服了她的问题——怕狗。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那只狗兴奋地叫了一声，然后跑过房间把球捡回来给我。”可知，第一段可描写作者被狗的可爱打动。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，我鼓起勇气，决定跟着爸爸出去遛狗。”可知，第二段可描写作者克服了她怕狗的问题。 2. 续写线索：小时被狗咬伤——怕狗——父亲带回一只狗——被狗的可爱打动——克服怕狗 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①吠叫：barked/howled/yapped ②催促：urge/impulse ③出卖了我：sold me out/betrayed me/revealed my true feelings 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/pleasure/delight ②热情：enthusiasm/passion 【点睛】[高分句型1]He was just so cute and lovable, and began to lie on his stomach beside my feet, enjoying my touch with his eyes slightly closed.(现在分词作伴随状语) [高分句型2]Filled with joy and enthusiasm I opened the gate.(过去分词作状语) 听力1-5CBCAB 6-10ACBCB 11-15ABCBB 16-20CABAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023-2024学年度上学期武汉市重点中学5G联合体期末考试 高一英语试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B Jessica Long, from Baltimore, Maryland, USA is a champion by all definitions of the word. She is one of the world’s most celebrated swimmers. Jessica was the youngest athlete to win a Paralympics (残奥会)medal. But her path to becoming a champion has been anything but easy. Jessica was born in Irkutsk, Russia with a severe and rare disease — fibular hemimelia (悱侧半肢畸形). This means that part of her leg bones was missing or abnormal. Because of that, her young mother placed her in a Russian orphanage (孤儿院), fearing she could not care for Jessica Fortunately, she was adopted by an American family when she was 13 months old. She required 25 different surgeries to help her leg condition. But unfortunately, both of her legs had to be removed when she was just 18 months old. Jessica learned to walk with artificial legs. As a child, she took to sports including gymnastics, cheerleading, ice skating, biking and rock climbing. She began swimming at her grandparents’ house when she was 6. She started competitive swimming about 4 years later. She did really well in swimming. Shortly after she started competing, Jessica was selected as Maryland’s Female Swimmer of the Year with a Disability.

But she did not rest on her success. Jessica has gone on to win 23 medals for Team USA at the Paralympics! While she began her career out of anger and annoyance, she now has a positive force on a mission to inspire the next generation of Paralympians! Her attitude and growth have been keys to her success. Jessica always believed she could do anything. As she says, “The only disability in life is a negative attitude.” 4. What happened to Jessica when she was a baby? A. She was left in the wild. B.

C In recent years, towns across Italy have been racing to launch plans aimed at attracting new residents (居民) to revive the towns. From deserted homes selling for a euro, to ready-to-occupy houses at low prices, there has been a tendency (趋势) for competition. The picturesque town of Presicce is the latest to enter the game with a very alluring offer. Officials say they will pay people up to 30,000 euros to buy an empty house and take up residency. Even better, the houses for sale as part of the deal are priced around 25,000 euros. The cash motivation is expected to breathe new life into the depopulating town, where newborns are fewer each year. The history of Presicce dates back to the Middle Ages, developing quickly during the Renaissance (文艺复兴) as a place known for its fine wine, cheeses and cattle trade. It gains a name as a “town of green gold” for green olive trees and olive oil. Its location is extremely good, surrounded by the nature of the Salento area and close to beautiful beaches and clear waters of Santa Maria di Leuca. “There are many empty homes in the historical center built before 1991 which we would like to see alive again with new residents,” says local spokesman Alfredo Palese. “It is a pity seeing how our old districts full of history, wonderful architecture and art are slowly emptying.” According to Palese, a 2019 merger (合并) with the nearby town Acquarica to create the larger town Presicce-Acquarica has provided them with extra money to ensure the project can continue for years to come. “After the merger as per Italian law, our wider territory (领土) will be blessed with more public funds, about 1,000,000 euros per year for several years forward, which we intend to invest to renew the old district,” says Palese. The town hall has already launched other plans to attract more residents, including tax benefits to set up new business activities and baby bonuses for families with kids. 8. What problem do many Italian towns face? A. Economic issue. B. Rising business competition. C. Population reduction. D. Poor housing market. 9. What does the underlined word “alluring” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Attractive. B. Conditional. C. Official. D. Reasonable. 10. What’s the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 3? A. To show Presicce’s past glory. B. To introduce Presicce’s traditional culture. C. To advertise a historical town. D To stress the importance of reviving Presicce. 11. Why did Presicce and Acquarica merge in 2019? A. To create wider territory. B. To follow Italian law. C. To attract more investment. D. To gain more funds. D From AI-made jokes to Harry Potter fashion videos, AI can be used to make funny things. But can it be as funny as a human? And if it can, does it present a danger to comedy (喜剧) writers in the future? That’s something performers have been looking at in this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, running from Aug 4 to 28. Anyone can put on a show at the Fringe, and this year even robots were getting in on the act. One of Fringe’s big shows even used a small robot to come up with jokes from audience suggestions, which were then performed by humans. The results could be very funny, but sometimes they weren’t funny at all. That was part of the point, explained Piotr Mirowski, the show’s co-maker. “We do not use humans to ‘show off’ AI; instead, we use AI ‘to show’ its limitations, to showcase human creativity on the stage,” said Mirowski, according to the Guardian. But one performer at the Fringe said he’s using AI to make jokes for him because he’s out of ideas. Comedian Peter Bazely’s show has him playing a supporting role to “an entirely computer-generated (生成的) comedian” called AI Jesus. The Fringe review website, Chortle, talked about today’s AI concerns: “In a world where artists are worried that AI could end up doing their jobs for them, Bazely is said to be praying this one will do exactly that.” The reasons for companies wanting to use Al are certainly understandable, but the dangers they present to many people’s jobs are becoming more and more real, and that’s not very funny. From concerns in schools and colleges about students using ChatGPT for their work, to writers and actors worrying that AI could be used to replace them, fears about the dangers of AI are a hot topic in the world. Back in March of this year, a letter calling for a six-month stop on advanced AI development was signed by over 1,000 people working with AI technologies including Elon Musk and other well-known tech leaders, reported The New York Times. Then, in May, leaders in the AI industry signed a document warning that AI could present an extinction-level danger and “should be a global priority (优先事项) alongside... diseases and nuclear war.” 12. In what way is the Fringe unique this year? A. The AI-made jokes were very funny. B. It presented dangers to comedy writers. C. Some jokes were created by robots. D. Harry Potter fashion videos were shown. 13. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 4? A. AI Jesus is an expert in jokes. B. Bazely was positive about using AI. C. Al was used to show its creativity. D. Chortle was concerned about the use of AI. 14. Why does AI present a danger in the future? A. Because many people will use AI to show off. B. Because AI can present diseases and nuclear war. C. Because well-known tech leaders will stop developing AI. D. Because some people will probably be out of work. 15. What’s the author’s attitude to the future of the AI development? A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Negative. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It is natural for cats to feel threatened by unfamiliar cats, especially if they are generally more of a timid (胆小的) cat.

My heart skipped a beat as I mouthed, “A dog?” Nodding, my father pushed the door open, revealing a large German Shepherd. I grasped my hands tightly over my mouth and failed to hold back a sharp scream. Rushing back into my room, I locked the door and covered the gap between it and the floor with tape. I had a strong fear and great hate of dogs ever since I was bitten by one badly on the face, leaving a huge and deep scar(伤疤). I decided to stay in my room until the dog had gone for a walk with my father. After what seemed like ages, I heard the door open and shut. “Finally! I can get out of here,” I thought. Out of great joy, I threw open the door and punched(用拳猛击) the air. At that moment, I felt something wet touching my foot. To my shock, it was the dog! I stood there, scared and shocked as if my feet were rooted to the ground. When I regained my calmness, I shouted loudly, “Ahhh! It is the dog! Help! He wants to bite me! Get him away from me!” My father was standing at the door, folding his arms and laughing quietly. “He is not going to eat you! Jane, don’t be so scared. Go on! Touch him!” he said. Attempting to show my unwillingness, I failed to do so due to my constant and uncontrollable shaking. Instead, I shouted loudly, “Never! I will never touch that dirty thing! Go away!” I picked up a tennis ball on the table and aimed at the dog but missed, causing the ball to roll across the living room. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 The dog barked excitedly before running across the room to fetch the ball and bring it back to me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The following day, gathering my courage, I decided to follow my father when he took the dog out for a walk. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5CBCAB 6-10ACBCB 11-15ABCBB 16-20CABAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
