Wildlife Wonders
The Okavango Delta in northern Botswana is one of southern Africa’s biggest and most biodiverse freshwater watersheds (流域) and a dream destination for animal lovers of all ages. It sustains the planet’s most endangered animals, including the largest remaining elephant population, cheetahs, African wild dogs, wattled cranes, and great white pelicans.
Fairy Chimneys
Central Turkey’s Göreme National Park is a dry region of volcanic stone that takes fantastic forms, which often called fairy chimneys (仙女烟囱). Some of the most striking sights are villages carved into the volcanic stone. The Göreme Open Air Museum, valley hikes, cave hotels, hot air balloon rides, and guided tours are highlights for all ages.
The Earliest Mummies (木乃伊)
Wrapped simply in reeds and decorated with hair and clay masks, Chile’s Chinchorro mummies are 2,000 years older than Egypt’s. At San Miguel de Azapa Archaeological Museum, only a few of the 300 samples are on view, while at Colón 10, visitors can see 48 mummies buried in the earth through a glass floor.
Dinosaur Fossils
Dinosaur Provincial Park in Canada gives some paleontologists (古生物学者) a chance to explore landscapes. Although visitors are not permitted to dig in this fragile environment, the park offers a full schedule of family-friendly fossil tours, guided activities, and dinosaur displays. Families can camp out under the stars and dream of the days when various dinosaurs lived in this region.

【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Earliest Mummies (木乃伊)部分的“Wrapped simply in reeds and decorated with hair and clay masks, Chile’s Chinchorro mummies are 2,000 years older than Egypt’s.(智利的Chinchorro木乃伊仅用芦苇包裹,用头发和粘土面具装饰,比埃及的木乃伊早了2000年。)”可知,如果游客想看最早的木乃伊,应该去智利。故选B。

Before arriving in China, I had read various books relating to China, famous Chinese novels as well as non-fiction and the seeds of my fascination were sown. Therefore, when I arrived I couldn’t have been more excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. The food, the landmarks, the fantastic cities and everyday life—I was burning to explore.
Yet despite my enthusiasm, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t ignorance or laziness, but rather fright at the thought of attempting to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world. In my mind, the Chinese language was the privilege of the highly intelligent.
However, after a year in China I began to feel uncomfortable with how many Chinese people could speak English and yet I couldn’t even speak the most basic Chinese. With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge I determined to begin my language journey.
In the two years since starting to learn I have made measurable progress. I found it less difficult than thought. When speaking to native Chinese speakers in Chinese they almost always understand me, I have also not found it too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over +00 characters. I find studying the language relaxing and rewarding.
In spite of my progress, it has still been the challenge that has taken a lot of hard work and commitment. The thing I find most discouraging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed, I can’t always understand what’s been said, but my weekly online language exchanges help with this. Furthermore, there is a long way to go before I reach my goal of fluency. The key to progress is to be patient and persistent.
My biggest harvest from learning Chinese is that it’s not only reachable but can also be enjoyable. Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a diverse and interesting country. Now my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier.
24. Which can best describe the author’s original impression about learning Chinese?
A. Boring. B. Demanding.
C. Pleasant. D. Discouraging.
25. What has the author found while learning Chinese?
A. Speaking Chinese is the most difficult. B. Many Chinese speak fluent English.
C. It isn’t as tough as he once assumed. D. It is beyond his power to learn characters.
26. What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us?
A. Importance of learning Chinese.
B. Barriers of learning a new language.
C. Significant progress the author has made.
D. Certain difficulties the author met in learning Chinese.
27. What is the main idea of the text?
A. A new opinion in learning. B. The author’s journey of learning Chinese.
C. Exploring the joy of learning Chinese. D. The value of learning a new language.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者来到中国学习汉语的经历。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“This wasn’t ignorance or laziness, but rather fright at the thought of attempting to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world. In my mind, the Chinese language was the privilege of the highly intelligent.”(这不是无知或懒惰,而是一想到试图学习被认为是世界上最难的语言就感到害怕。在我看来,中文是高智商的特权。)可知,作者最开始认为,汉语是世界上最难的一门语言,只有超级聪明的人才能学会,也就是说最开始作者认为汉语是一门要求很高的语言。故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“I found it less difficult than thought.”(我发现它没有想象的那么难。)可知,作者开始学汉语以后发现这并不像自己想象的那么难。故选C项。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“In spite of my progress, it has still been the challenge that has taken a lot of hard work and commitment.”(尽管我取得了进步,但这仍然是一个挑战,需要付出很多努力和承诺。)可知,本段主要讲述作者在学习汉语时遇到的一些困难。故选D项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章主要讲述了作者来到中国学习汉语的经历,从最开始不想学,到后来开始学并取得了相当大的进步。故选B项。
C
For many people, the cruelest part of daily life is the transition between wakefulness and sleep. When you should be sleeping, you want to be awake; when you should be awake, you want to stay asleep. It is easy to regard sleep as a torment: hard to attain and then hard to give up, day after day.
It is no major revelation to most people that enough sleep improves well-being. One recent study of more than 30,000 UK residents found that people who increased their quantity of sleep over a four-year period got about the same happiness benefits as they would have from eight weeks of treatment, or from winning up to $280,000 in a lottery. Well-rested people are more social and have more positive emotional experiences with co-workers and romantic partners. Sleep loss, however, lowers happiness by degrading emotional-memory recall and encouraging a negative mindset, which results in depressive working atmosphere and poor interpersonal relationship.
If all of this seems obvious, why don’t we sleep more? Physical conditions, poor sleep habits, work, stress, and young kids are all common barriers to proper sleep. However, another barrier comes purely from within, when we simply put off going to bed because we are doing other things that seem more important at night, but that we regret when it’s time to get up. It is what scholars call “bedtime procrastination (拖延)”. Bedtime procrastination seems illogical, but the explanation is fairly straightforward. It happens when a person bears some deep resistance to being “told” what to do, especially in an area as personal and fundamental as when to go to bed. It is likely because she hates being told what to do in other parts of her life, and she fights back by fully using her own authority and staying up.
28. What does the underlined word “torment” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Enjoyment. B. Suffering. C. Entertainment. D. Exercise.
29. How is the second paragraph developed?
A. By using quotes.
B. By giving a definition.
C. By making a comparison.
D. By providing explanations.
30. What may cause bedtime procrastination?
A. A crying baby.
B. Pressure from work.
C. Drinking too much coffee.
D. Unwillingness to follow routines.
31. Which column of a news website may the text be taken from?
A. Health. B. Education. C. Technology. D. Economy.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了了睡眠对幸福感的影响以及睡前拖延症的原因。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“When you should be sleeping, you want to be awake; when you should be awake, you want to stay asleep. It is easy to regard sleep as a torment: hard to attain and then hard to give up, day after day.”(当你该睡觉的时候,你却想醒着;当你应该醒着的时候,你却想睡觉。人们很容易将睡眠视为一种torment:日复一日,难以企及,也难以放弃。)可知,日复一日,难以企及,也难以放弃,所以人们很容易将睡眠视为一种折磨,torment的意思是“折磨”,即suffering。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“One recent study of more than 30,000 UK residents found that people who increased their quantity of sleep over a four-year period got about the same happiness benefits as they would have from eight weeks of treatment, or from winning up to $280,000 in a lottery. Well-rested people are more social and have more positive emotional experiences with co-workers and romantic partners. Sleep loss, however, lowers happiness by degrading emotional-memory recall and encouraging a negative mindset, which results in depressive working atmosphere and poor interpersonal relationship.”(近一项针对3万多名英国居民的研究发现,在四年时间里增加睡眠时间的人所获得的幸福感,与他们接受8周治疗或中了28万美元彩票所获得的幸福感大致相同。休息好的人更善于社交,与同事和恋人有更多积极的情感体验。然而,睡眠不足会通过降低情绪记忆的回忆和鼓励消极的心态来降低幸福感,从而导致压抑的工作氛围和糟糕的人际关系。)可知,通过比较增加睡眠时间与接受治疗或中彩票的幸福感来说明足够的睡眠能提高幸福感。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Bedtime procrastination seems illogical, but the explanation is fairly straightforward. It happens when a person bears some deep resistance to being ‘told’ what to do, especially in an area as personal and fundamental as when to go to bed.”(睡前拖延症发生在一个人对被‘告知’做什么事情有深深的抵触情绪时,尤其是在像什么时候上床睡觉这样个人和基本的事情上。)可知,睡前拖延症的原因是对遵循常规的不情愿。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了睡眠对幸福感的影响以及睡前拖延症的原因,属于健康话题。因此,本文可能出现在新闻网站的健康栏目。故选A。
D
We used to write with a pen. Now we generally write on a computer with the help of keyboard. In this digital age, artificial intelligence has become a new type of “pen” which we use to analyze, write and present everything from an article, a thesis, a research paper to a company report, and things alike.
Since writing is an essential part of academic life, and since students struggle to produce quality papers, AI powered writing is gaining popularity on campuses. AI is so powerful that it can help with idea development, research design, content development, literature review, data management, as well as help with editing and reviewing of books. AI-powered writing can improve the grammar, structure, and help with citation s and consistency to disciplinary standards. Therefore, AI tools can help students, teachers and researchers to overcome the challenges of academic writing, boost research productivity and improve efficiency.
However, AI may seem human, but it is not. It may appear accurate, yet it isn’t. It may look intelligent, yet it is not. It may also seem to understand, but it can’t. An analysis done with the help of AI tools with seemingly high efficiency can be neither valid (有效的) nor reliable. Although AI can help write a seemingly nicely structured, grammatically correct and even precisely referenced paper, its research results can’t be accepted as authentic (真实的), because they cannot fully meet the real purpose of research or education as a whole.
That is why many universities have been keeping students from using AI tools for academic writing, and have conducted rules limiting, if not altogether banning the use of Generative AI in academic writing. According to a survey of the world’s 100 top universities by Scriber on their attitude to AI writing tools, 18 percent have banned the use of ChatGPT, although individual instructors could allow its use, 27 percent have no clear guidance or policy, and 51 percent have left the decision on individual instructors. Only 4 percent of the universities allow the use of AI (with citation) unless instructors forbid it.
32. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The importance of academic writing.
B. The potential users of AI-powered writing.
C. The challenges faced by researchers and scholars.
D. The popularity of AI-powered writing on campuses.
33. What may be the author’s attitude towards a research report written by AI?
A. Negative. B. Dismissive. C. Positive. D. Unclear.
34. Who have the right to decide the use of Al in academic writing in most universities?
A. Fund sponsors. B. Individual instructors.
C. Would-be graduates. D. Producers of AI tools.
35. Which idiom can best describe AI-powered writing?
A. A wet blanket. B. A pie in the sky.
C. A double-edged sword. D. A big fish in a small pond.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。短文主要介绍了AI赋能学术写作在大学里的现状。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Since writing is an essential part of academic life, and since students struggle to produce quality papers, AI powered writing is gaining popularity on campuses.”( 由于写作是学术生活的重要组成部分,而且学生们很难写出高质量的论文,因此人工智能写作在校园里越来越受欢迎。)以及“Therefore, AI tools can help students, teachers and researchers to overcome the challenges of academic writing, boost research productivity and improve efficiency.”( 因此,人工智能工具可以帮助学生、教师和研究人员克服学术写作的挑战,提高研究生产力,提高效率。)可知,第二段主要讲述了AI写作在校园中的流行。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段内容,尤其是“Although AI can help write a seemingly nicely structured, grammatically correct and even precisely referenced paper, its research results can’t be accepted as authentic (真实的), because they cannot fully meet the real purpose of research or education as a whole.”(虽然人工智能可以帮助写出一篇看起来结构良好,语法正确,甚至引用准确的论文,但它的研究结果并不能被认为是真实的,因为它们不能完全满足研究或教育的真正目的。)可知,作者对AI写作的研究报告持否定态度。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“According to a survey of the world’s 100 top universities by Scriber on their attitude to AI writing tools, 18 percent have banned the use of ChatGPT, although individual instructors could allow its use, 27 percent have no clear guidance or policy, and 51 percent have left the decision on individual instructors.”(根据Scriber对全球100所顶尖大学对人工智能写作工具态度的调查,18%的大学禁止使用ChatGPT,尽管个别教师可以允许使用,27%的大学没有明确的指导或政策,51%的大学将决定权留给了个别教师。)可知,大多数大学由个别导师决定是否使用AI进行学术写作。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Since writing is an essential part of academic life, and since students struggle to produce quality papers, AI powered writing is gaining popularity on campuses. AI is so powerful that it can help with idea development, research design, content development, literature review, data management, as well as help with editing and reviewing of books. AI-powered writing can improve the grammar, structure, and help with citation s and consistency to disciplinary standards.”(由于写作是学术生活的重要组成部分,而且学生们很难写出高质量的论文,因此人工智能写作在校园里越来越受欢迎。人工智能是如此强大,它可以帮助思想发展,研究设计,内容开发,文献综述,数据管理,以及帮助编辑和评论书籍。人工智能写作可以改善语法、结构,并有助于引用和保持学科标准的一致性。)和第三段“However, AI may seem human, but it is not. It may appear accurate, yet it isn’t. It may look intelligent, yet it is not. It may also seem to understand, but it can’t. An analysis done with the help of AI tools with seemingly high efficiency can be neither valid (有效的) nor reliable.”(然而,人工智能可能看起来像人类,但它不是。它可能看起来很准确,但事实并非如此。它可能看起来很聪明,但其实不然。它似乎也能理解,但它不能。借助看似高效的人工智能工具完成的分析既不有效也不可靠。)可知,AI写作既有优点也有缺点,最能描述这种情况的成语是“双刃剑”。故选C。

【56题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:9月7日,联合国教科文组织授予 85 岁的中国著名考古学家樊锦诗荣誉称号,以表彰她为保护敦煌莫高窟所做的贡献。分析句子结构可知,此处为谓语动词,根据“On Sept. 7”可知,此处为一般现在时,主语amous Chinese archaeologist Fan Jinshi与award之间构成被动关系,所以使用一般现在时的被动语态,且主语为第三人称单数。故填 was awarded。
【57题详解】
考查介词。句意:9月7日,联合国教科文组织授予85岁的中国著名考古学家樊锦诗荣誉称号,以表彰她为保护敦煌莫高窟所做的贡献。分析句子结构可知,此处应为固定短语 contribution to 意为“对……的贡献”符合句意。故填to。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:被称为“敦煌之女”的她,从60年前的洞穴开始了她的故事。分析句子结构可知,此处应为非谓语动词作状语, call 与逻辑主语 she 构成被动关系,所以使用过去分词形式,且位于句首,首字母需大写。故填Called。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:1963年,25岁的北京大学毕业生樊锦诗有机会在莫高窟工作,这是她长期以来一直想去探索的地方。分析句子结构可知,此处应为非谓语动词作定语修饰抽象名词 chance ,其后跟不定式作后置定语。故填to work。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意:那时候,莫高窟几乎与外界完全隔绝。分析句子结构可知,此处应为副词作状语修饰动词短语 cut off ,complete的副词形式为completely意为“完全地”符合句意。故填completely。
【61题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:樊和她同事待在洞穴里做研究,复制壁画,尽他们所能保护和修复它们。分析句子结构可知,此处应为连接词引导宾语从句作do的宾语,从句中缺少宾语,结合句意,表示“什么”或者“无论什么”,所以此处可用whatever或what。故填whatever/what。
【62题详解】
考查状语从句。句意:随着时间的流逝,樊发现了一个严重的问题。分析句子结构可知,此处应为连词引导时间状语从句,结合句意可知,此处表示“随着”符合句意,所以此处使用as引导时间状语从句,位于句首,所以首字母大写。故填As。
【63题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:参观敦煌的游客越来越多,这可能会损害洞穴,导致里面的壁画褪色。结合句子结构以及句意可知,此处应为固定短语“the number of”意为“……的数量”,且位于句首,所以首字母大写。故填The。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:参观敦煌的游客越来越多,这可能会损害洞穴,导致里面的壁画褪色。分析句子结构可知,此处为非谓语动词作状语,cause 与上文句子的内容构成主动关系,所以使用现在分词作结果状语。故填causing。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意:经过30多年的探索,敦煌研究院建立了一个数字数据库来保护那里的文物,让敦煌的艺术永世长存,走出洞穴,与世界相遇。分析句子结构可知,此处作介词的宾语,应用名词形式,explore的名词为exploration意为“探索”且此处为不可数名词。故填exploration.

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Outside the back of the supermarket, an elderly lady stood in the cold holding a basket of flowers. “Would you like some flowers? They cost $3 a bunch,” she asked me when I was walking past and I politely responded, “No, thank you.” Then I walked away and went inside the supermarket.
I walked around the supermarket searching for the things I needed. I couldn’t help thinking of that lady standing in the cold holding her basket of flowers. I wondered about her unknown story of standing in the cold with her basket.
Then I had my own personal struggles. As a poor blogger (博主), I had to budget for everything and even $3 was a lot for me and probably for her too. But it wasn’t my first thought when she asked me about buying her flowers. My first thought was that I didn’t have the cash but not as an excuse. I’d not carried cash with me for a few years.
When I went to the checkout counter to pay with my card, I asked for $3 cash out. With a sigh of relief, I was glad that the staff member handed me $3. I walked away and I found the lady around the corner of the supermarket.
“Sorry, I didn’t have cash on me just now. But I’d like to buy some of your flowers.”
As I had a closer look in her basket I saw the bunch of flowers I had admired briefly during our first encounter. I also saw two small pots of plants that were beautiful and healthy. Although I didn’t have a green thumb, I loved them deeply. She told me their names and some details about them. I chose the bunch of flowers I had first sighted. I gave her $3 as she handed me the flowers. She said thank you to me.
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。
Paragraph 1:

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】As I walked away, I was wishing I could have been able to offer her more. But I had to budget for everything at that time and really didn’t have extra money to buy more flowers. As I looked back at her, she thanked me again. Seeing her smile, I had a terrific idea suddenly. I had my personal blog and every day many people came to read it. I returned and took a picture for the lady and edited a post quickly which said “These beautiful flowers need a warm home!” Soon, many people living nearby came and the lady sold out all her flowers.
Helping her sell out all the flowers, I was really happy. Though I didn’t have the ability to buy all her flowers I had the ability to help her sell out all the flowers. The lady was also very delighted to sell all her flowers because she could go home early with some money, which might help solve part of her problems. She was thankful for my help and we both went home with gratitude.

What follows are just a few of the global destinations given World Heritage status by UNESCO. They could be your family’s next vacation.
Wildlife Wonders
The Okavango Delta in northern Botswana is one of southern Africa’s biggest and most biodiverse freshwater watersheds (流域) and a dream destination for animal lovers of all ages. It sustains the planet’s most endangered animals, including the largest remaining elephant population, cheetahs, African wild dogs, wattled cranes, and great white pelicans.
Fairy Chimneys
Central Turkey’s Göreme National Park is a dry region of volcanic stone that takes fantastic forms, which often called fairy chimneys (仙女烟囱). Some of the most striking sights are villages carved into the volcanic stone. The Göreme Open Air Museum, valley hikes, cave hotels, hot air balloon rides, and guided tours are highlights for all ages.
The Earliest Mummies (木乃伊)
Wrapped simply in reeds and decorated with hair and clay masks, Chile’s Chinchorro mummies are 2,000 years older than Egypt’s. At San Miguel de Azapa Archaeological Museum, only a few of the 300 samples are on view, while at Colón 10, visitors can see 48 mummies buried in the earth through a glass floor.
Dinosaur Fossils
Dinosaur Provincial Park in Canada gives some paleontologists (古生物学者) a chance to explore landscapes. Although visitors are not permitted to dig in this fragile environment, the park offers a full schedule of family-friendly fossil tours, guided activities, and dinosaur displays. Families can camp out under the stars and dream of the days when various dinosaurs lived in this region.

Before arriving in China, I had read various books relating to China, famous Chinese novels as well as non-fiction and the seeds of my fascination were sown. Therefore, when I arrived I couldn’t have been more excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. The food, the landmarks, the fantastic cities and everyday life—I was burning to explore.
Yet despite my enthusiasm, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t ignorance or laziness, but rather fright at the thought of attempting to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world. In my mind, the Chinese language was the privilege of the highly intelligent.
However, after a year in China I began to feel uncomfortable with how many Chinese people could speak English and yet I couldn’t even speak the most basic Chinese. With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge I determined to begin my language journey.
In the two years since starting to learn I have made measurable progress. I found it less difficult than thought. When speaking to native Chinese speakers in Chinese they almost always understand me, I have also not found it too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over +00 characters. I find studying the language relaxing and rewarding.
In spite of my progress it has still been the challenge that has taken a lot of hard work and commitment. The thing I find most discouraging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed, I can’t always understand what’s been said, but my weekly online language exchanges help with this. Furthermore, there is a long way to go before I reach my goal of fluency. The key to progress is to be patient and persistent.
My biggest harvest from learning Chinese is that it’s not only reachable but can also be enjoyable. Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a diverse and interesting country. Now my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier.
24. Which can best describe the author’s original impression about learning Chinese?
A. Boring. B. Demanding.
C. Pleasant. D. Discouraging.
25. What has the author found while learning Chinese?
A. Speaking Chinese is the most difficult. B. Many Chinese speak fluent English.
C. It isn’t as tough as he once assumed. D. It is beyond his power to learn characters.
26. What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us?
A. Importance of learning Chinese.
B. Barriers of learning a new language.
C. Significant progress the author has made.
D. Certain difficulties the author met in learning Chinese.
27. What is the main idea of the text?
A. A new opinion in learning. B. The author’s journey of learning Chinese.
C. Exploring the joy of learning Chinese. D. The value of learning a new language.
C
For many people, the cruelest part of daily life is the transition between wakefulness and sleep. When you should be sleeping, you want to be awake; when you should be awake, you want to stay asleep. It is easy to regard sleep as a torment: hard to attain and then hard to give up, day after day.
It is no major revelation to most people that enough sleep improves well-being. One recent study of more than 30,000 UK residents found that people who increased their quantity of sleep over a four-year period got about the same happiness benefits as they would have from eight weeks of treatment, or from winning up to $280,000 in a lottery. Well-rested people are more social and have more positive emotional experiences with co-workers and romantic partners. Sleep loss, however, lowers happiness by degrading emotional-memory recall and encouraging a negative mindset, which results in depressive working atmosphere and poor interpersonal relationship.
If all of this seems obvious, why don’t we sleep more? Physical conditions, poor sleep habits, work, stress, and young kids are all common barriers to proper sleep. However, another barrier comes purely from within, when we simply put off going to bed because we are doing other things that seem more important at night, but that we regret when it’s time to get up. It is what scholars call “bedtime procrastination (拖延)”. Bedtime procrastination seems illogical, but the explanation is fairly straightforward. It happens when a person bears some deep resistance to being “told” what to do, especially in an area as personal and fundamental as when to go to bed. It is likely because she hates being told what to do in other parts of her life, and she fights back by fully using her own authority and staying up.
28. What does the underlined word “torment” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Enjoyment. B. Suffering. C. Entertainment. D. Exercise.
29. How is the second paragraph developed?
A. By using quotes.
B. By giving a definition.
C. By making a comparison.
D. By providing explanations.
30. What may cause bedtime procrastination?
A. A crying baby.
B. Pressure from work.
C. Drinking too much coffee.
D. Unwillingness to follow routines.
31. Which column of a news website may the text be taken from?
A. Health. B. Education. C. Technology. D. Economy.
D
We used to write with a pen. Now we generally write on a computer with the help of keyboard. In this digital age, artificial intelligence has become a new type of “pen” which we use to analyze, write and present everything from an article, a thesis, a research paper to a company report, and things alike.
Since writing is an essential part of academic life, and since students struggle to produce quality papers, AI powered writing is gaining popularity on campuses. AI is so powerful that it can help with idea development, research design, content development, literature review, data management, as well as help with editing and reviewing of books. AI-powered writing can improve the grammar, structure, and help with citation s and consistency to disciplinary standards. Therefore, AI tools can help students, teachers and researchers to overcome the challenges of academic writing, boost research productivity and improve efficiency.
However, AI may seem human, but it is not. It may appear accurate, yet it isn’t. It may look intelligent, yet it is not. It may also seem to understand, but it can’t. An analysis done with the help of AI tools with seemingly high efficiency can be neither valid (有效的) nor reliable. Although AI can help write a seemingly nicely structured, grammatically correct and even precisely referenced paper, its research results can’t be accepted as authentic (真实的), because they cannot fully meet the real purpose of research or education as a whole.
That is why many universities have been keeping students from using AI tools for academic writing, and have conducted rules limiting, if not altogether banning the use of Generative AI in academic writing. According to a survey of the world’s 100 top universities by Scriber on their attitude to AI writing tools, 18 percent have banned the use of ChatGPT, although individual instructors could allow its use, 27 percent have no clear guidance or policy, and 51 percent have left the decision on individual instructors. Only 4 percent of the universities allow the use of AI (with citation) unless instructors forbid it.
32. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A The importance of academic writing.
B. The potential users of AI-powered writing.
C. The challenges faced by researchers and scholars.
D. The popularity of AI-powered writing on campuses.
33. What may be the author’s attitude towards a research report written by AI?
A. Negative. B. Dismissive. C. Positive. D. Unclear.
34. Who have the right to decide the use of Al in academic writing in most universities?
A. Fund sponsors. B. Individual instructors.
C. Would-be graduates. D. Producers of AI tools.
35. Which idiom can best describe AI-powered writing?
A. A wet blanket. B. A pie in the sky.
C. A double-edged sword. D. A big fish in a small pond.

How to Develop Interpersonal Skills
People use interpersonal skills daily — socially as well as professionally — and usually without even being conscious of their effectiveness. In the workplace, listening, communicating, working together and manners are important interpersonal skills. An employee who falls short of any of these soft skills must work consciously to strengthen and develop them.___36___
Listen up.
Active listening is a skill that must be learned and practiced.___37___The active listener provides feedback by focusing their full attention on the speaker and responding with verbal and non-verbal clues that the speaker's message is heard and understood.
Avoid failure to communicate.
Simply talking to people does not guarantee that your message is getting across. Common barriers to communication are lack of verbal clues, cultural differences, lack of interest, distractions, and unfamiliar expressions. Expect such barriers and deal with them. Learn to think before you speak, and express yourself clearly and carefully.___38___
Get it together.
Working together is the key to working effectively.___39___Create such an environment, rather than competition, and respect the opinions of others. Praise and thank co-workers for their contributions and treat all suggestions and opinions with respect.

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Outside the back of the supermarket, an elderly lady stood in the cold holding a basket of flowers. “Would you like some flowers? They cost $3 a bunch,” she asked me when I was walking past and I politely responded, “No, thank you.” Then I walked away and went inside the supermarket.
I walked around the supermarket searching for the things I needed. I couldn’t help thinking of that lady standing in the cold holding her basket of flowers. I wondered about her unknown story of standing in the cold with her basket.
Then I had my own personal struggles. As a poor blogger (博主), I had to budget for everything and even $3 was a lot for me and probably for her too. But it wasn’t my first thought when she asked me about buying her flowers. My first thought was that I didn’t have the cash but not as an excuse. I’d not carried cash with me for a few years.
When I went to the checkout counter to pay with my card, I asked for $3 cash out. With a sigh of relief, I was glad that the staff member handed me $3. I walked away and I found the lady around the corner of the supermarket.
“Sorry, I didn’t have cash on me just now. But I’d like to buy some of your flowers.”
As I had a closer look in her basket I saw the bunch of flowers I had admired briefly during our first encounter. I also saw two small pots of plants that were beautiful and healthy. Although I didn’t have a green thumb, I loved them deeply. She told me their names and some details about them. I chose the bunch of flowers I had first sighted. I gave her $3 as she handed me the flowers. She said thank you to me.
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。
Paragraph 1:
As I walked away, I was wishing I could have been able to offer her more help.

Helping her sell out all the flowers, I was really happy.
