A chatbot is a computer program that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to imitate human thinking and writing. The book’s text was produced using it, and Reshi created illustrations (插图) using another AI program, Midjourney, which uses special computation (计算) rules to translate words into images. When Reshi posted the book online, it became very popular with children. Some people praised Reshi for being clever. However, not everyone was happy. Some artists criticized the book. They said the pictures were of poor quality, and more importantly, the way the pictures were made was a big problem. Midjourney works by searching through millions of images on the internet. It uses algorithms to find patterns in these images and make new ones. The problem is, Midjourney takes images from artists’ work without asking for permission. Some companies have already started using AI instead of human workers. For example, an AI robot told jokes at a comedy club instead of a person. The San Francisco Ballet also used AI-created images for advertising a ballet show called The Nutcracker. Many artists and writers are worried about their jobs. They fear that if AI can create art and writing for less money, people may not pay them for their work. Josephine, a journalist who makes money from writing, says, “I love writing, but it’s troubling to see people looking for cheaper choices instead of supporting real human writers.” There is a real concern about protecting the work of artists and writers who could have their creations used by AI programs. The technology industry that develops these tools should include artists in the process of making them. 24. The passage is most likely to be taken from a ________. A. newspaper B. science fiction C. storybook D. travel guide 25. What does the underlined word “algorithms” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Creative ideas. B. Millions of pictures. C. Useful tools. D. Computation rules. 26. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Midjourney? A. Midjourney is a chatbot that helps writers create stories. B. Midjourney uses algorithms to search images from the internet to create new ones. C. Midjourney was used by Reshi to write the text of Alice and Sparkle. D. Midjourney always asks for permission before using artists’ images. 27. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To support the use of AI tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney in creative industries. B. To show the popularity of Reshi’s book Alice and Sparkle among children. C. To discuss the advantages and challenges of AI in art and writing, especially on human creators. D. To blame (责备) the poor quality of AI-generated illustrations in Reshi’s book. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讨论了艺术家和作家对使用人工智能AI程序创作作品的担忧，特别是在Reshi使用AI程序完成儿童读物《Alice and Sparkle》的情况下。AI创作引发了对创意作品被未经授权使用以及对艺术家和作家生计的威胁的担忧。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文讨论了AI技术对创作行业的影响，并引用了多方观点，这种讨论性及广泛受众的特点，符合报纸报道风格，故选A。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Midjourney, which uses special computation (计算) rules to translate words into images.”可知Midjourmey，它使用特殊的计算规则将单词翻译成图像，结合“It uses algorithms to find patterns in these images and make new ones.”可知，它就是用这种算法规则在这些图像中寻找模式，并制作新的图像，所以划线单词表示“运算规则”，故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Midjourney works by searching through millions of images on the internet. It uses algorithms to find patterns in these images and make new ones.”可知，Midjourney使用算法从互联网上搜索图像以创建新的图像。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了艺术家和作家对使用人工智能AI程序创作作品的担忧，特别是在Reshi使用AI程序完成儿童读物《Alice and Sparkle》的情况下。AI创作引发了对创意作品被未经授权使用以及对艺术家和作家生计的威胁的担忧。故选C。 C Uncle Vernon and Dudley came in the kitchen. Uncle Vernon opened his newspaper, and Dudley admired his own Smeltings stick. Suddenly, they heard the sound of the mail slot (邮递投递口). Mail dropped onto the front door. Uncle Vernon ordered Harry to get the mail. Harry went to pick up the mail and found: a postcard from Uncle Vernon’s sister Marge, a bill and…a letter for Harry. Harry picked it up in surprise. No one had ever written to him before. Who would? He had no friends or other relatives. But here it was, a letter for him, with just a simple address: “Hurry up! What are you doing, checking for letter bombs (炸弹)?” Uncle Vernon laughed at his own joke. Harry went back into the kitchen, still holding the letter. He handed Uncle Vernon the bill and the postcard. Uncle Vernon quickly opened the bill and then read the postcard. “Marge’s ill,” he said, looking at the postcard. “Ate something strange.” Just as Harry wanted to open the letter, Dudley suddenly shouted, “Dad! Harry’s got something! ” Uncle Vernon grabbed (抓) it from him. “That’s mine! ” Harry said, trying to grab it back. “Who’d be writing to you?” said Uncle Vernon, opening the letter and looking at it. His face went from red to green, then to white, like old porridge. “Petunia!” Uncle Vernon shouted. Dudley tried to grab the letter, but Uncle Vernon held it high. Aunt Petunia turned around and took the letter and read the first line. She looked like she might fall down. “Vernon! Oh my god -Vernon!” she said. They stared at each other, not noticing that Harry and Dudley were still in the room. Dudley wasn’t used to being ignored (忽略). “I want to read that letter,” he said loudly. “I want to read it,” Harry said angrily, “because it’s mine!” “Get out, both of you! ” Uncle Vernon shouted. He grabbed Harry and Dudley by the necks and threw them into the hall, shutting the kitchen door behind them. (Adapted from Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone) 28.

He grabbed Harry and Dudley by the necks and threw them into the hall”最后他生气地把哈利和达力赶了出去。所以他的情绪变化是轻松—震惊—生气，B选项符合。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。文章围绕哈利收到一封意想不到的信展开，讲述了这封信引发的一系列事情，A选项“哈利收到一封意想不到的信”能概括文章主要内容。故选A。 D “The red walls and green tiles (瓦) set each other off beautifully. It’s so Beijing,” said a 33-year-old Beijing person with the family name of Lin. Lin and her 14-year-old cousin were enjoying a city walk along the Beijing Central Axis (中轴线). On this walk, they saw most of the old city buildings of Beijing, like the Forbidden City and the Bell and Drum Towers. Since the show “Glory Is Back! Beijing (《登场了！北京中轴线》)” was shown in July, people like Lin traveled on foot to know the axis better themselves. Dating back to the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), the 7. 8-kilometer-long Beijing Central Axis starts with Yongdingmen Gate in the south and ends with the Bell and Drum Towers in the north. It matches Forbidden City and the markets at the Bell and Drum Towers area. This way of city planning is described as “court (宫廷) in the front, market in the back”. Other buildings like the Imperial Ancestral Temple (太庙) stands in the east and the Alter of Land and Grain (社稷坛) lies on the west side of the axis. Chinese professor Lyu Zhou said that when he walked around the Bell and Drum Towers, he could find peace in the busy city life. At a square between the Bell Tower and the Drum Towers, you can see people relaxing, cycling and playing games and even celebrating life events. “The towers were once our meeting places. We used to go on dates there. You could say that the towers have seen our love grow,” said a young couple who were taking wedding photos under the Bell and Drum Towers. The traveler Marco Polo (1254-1324) wrote about what he saw along the Central Axis back in the Yuan Dynasty in The Travels of Marco Polo: “Up and down the city there are beautiful palaces... and fine houses in great numbers.” And Osvald Siren (1879-1966) from Sweden took many photos in Beijing back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These western records have given people around the world a taste of its history. 32. How does the writer lead in the topic in the first paragraph? A. By asking questions. B. By giving an example. C. By making comparisons. D. By listing numbers. 33. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refers to “________”. A. Beijing Central Axis B. Yongdingmen Gate C the Bell and Drum Towers D. the Forbidden City 34. Which of the following describes the Beijing Central Axis correctly? A. B. C. D. 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Marco Polo took many photos when visiting there. B. These western records caused much trouble in the 19th century. C. Osvald Siren was one of those western visitors. D. More foreigners will be interested in the Beijing Central Axis. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇描述性记叙文，通过一位33岁的北京人林女士和她14岁的表弟沿着北京中轴线漫步的经历，展现了北京中轴线的独特魅力和历史底蕴。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“ ‘The red walls and green tiles set each other off beautifully. It’s so Beijing,’ said a 33-year-old Beijing person with the family name of Lin.”可知，通过一个具体的例子——林姓北京人的评价，来引入主题，即北京中轴线的特色。因此，作者通过给出一个例子来引导话题。选项B“By giving an example.”（通过给出例子）是正确的。故选B。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Dating back to the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), the 7. 8-kilometer-long Beijing Central Axis starts with Yongdingmen Gate in the south and ends with the Bell and Drum Towers in the north.”可知，北京中轴线长8公里，南起永定门，北至钟鼓楼，it指代“Beijing Central Axis”，故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Other buildings like the Imperial Ancestral Temple stands in the east and the Alter of Land and Grain locates on the west side of the axis.” 可知，太庙在东边，社稷坛在西边。再由“It matches Forbidden City and the markets at the Bell and Drum Towers area.”可知，市场在北方，故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“These western records have given people around the world a taste of its history.”可知，马可·波罗和奥斯瓦尔德·西伦等西方旅行者和学者对北京中轴线的描述和记录，使得世界各地的人们能够感受到它的历史。这暗示着北京中轴线的历史和文化价值对外国人也有吸引力。因此，我们可以推断出未来会有更多的外国人对北京中轴线感兴趣。选项D“More foreigners will be interested in the Beijing Central Axis.”（更多的外国人会对北京中轴线感兴趣）是正确的推断。故选D。 E —Do you know what holiday falls on November 19? — World Toilet Day, of course! ①Have you thanked your toilet today? Maybe take a moment to thank this useful invention. Unfortunately, many people around the world do not have good toilets. World Toilet Day started in 2001 to draw attention to the problem. Since then, inventors around the world have been hard at work on designs for better toilets. The goal is clean toilets for all. ②Why do so many people live without good toilets? One problem is water shortage. Traditional toilets use water to flush (冲) the waste away. But lots of places don’t have enough water. And if there’s no sewer system (下水道) or water treatment plant, the flushes might go into rivers or onto fields. For almost half of the world’s population, flush toilets are just not practical. As a result, there are always different kinds of toilets that do not need to be flushed. ③Composting toilets might be a good choice. They do not need water, so they’re good for areas that are dry or don’t have sewer systems. ④Haiti’s EkoLakay toilets look like a normal toilet. When you use one, wastes fall into different containers. Some plant parts, like peanut shells or shredded sugar cane stalks are added instead of flush water. This stops smells efficiently. ⑤A pit toilet is the oldest and most basic toilet, which is just a hole in the ground, maybe with an out-house over it. This is simple, but not very clean. Germs (细菌) can escape into the air and get into water. But replacing the pit with a septic tank (化粪池) is a big improvement. Septic pits are lined with plastic or clay, to stop germs. ⑥Tiger toilets get help from an unexpected partner — a kind of worms (蠕虫) on the earth known as tiger worms. These worms love to eat the wastes. Under a tiger toilet is a box with a screen in the middle. Solid (固体) waste stays in the top of the box, where the worms live. Liquid (液体) flows through small holes into sewer systems. Tiger toilets are simple to build. They are recently being tested in India and are proving quite popular. ⑦Educational ways have also played an important role in changing public attitudes towards good toilets. Schools and community programs are teaching people about the importance of them, encouraging behavior changes. ⑧The road to achieving world-wide good toilets is still long. On this World Toilet Day, let us continue to thank the convenience of the wonderful invention. By doing research on more efficient toilet technologies and raising senses of keeping clean surroundings, we can work towards a future where every person has a clean and safe toilet. 36.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了马桶的发展及种类。作者深信随着保持环境清洁意识的增强，每个人都会有一个干净安全的厕所。 【36题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的句子“Unfortunately, many people around the world do not have good toilets.” 可知，世界上许多人没有好的厕所，画线词所在句是说，始于2001年的世界厕所日旨在引起人们对这一问题的关注，因此画线词指的是“世界上许多人没有好的厕所”这个问题。故选D。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Haiti’s EkoLakay toilets look like a normal toilet…are added instead of flush water.”可知，海地的 EkoLakay 厕所看起来和普通厕所没什么区别，而且这种厕所可以不用水冲洗。故选B。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“By doing research on more efficient toilet technologies and raising senses of keeping clean surroundings, we can work towards a future where every person has a clean and safe toilet”可知，通过研究更高效的厕所技术和提高保持环境清洁的意识，我们可以朝着每个人都有一个干净安全的厕所的未来努力。由此推知，作者对好厕所的未来充满希望。故选A。 【39题详解】 篇章结构题。作者围绕好厕所这一话题展开全文。第一段提出问题，好厕所缺乏关注；第二段介绍水资源短缺是好多人没有好厕所的原因并提到了不需要冲水的厕所；第三段至第六段分别介绍了四种不用水冲马桶的特点；第七段提到教育方式在改变公众对好厕所的态度方面发挥着重要作用；最后一段说明实现世界范围内拥有好厕所的道路虽然漫长，但作者充满信心，所以，选项A符合全文篇章结构。故选A。 V. 口语应用（每题1分，共5分） 阅读下面对话，从方框中7个选项中选择5个恰当的句子完成此对话。 Waiter: Can I help you, sir?

A chatbot is a computer program that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to imitate human thinking and writing. The book’s text was produced using it, and Reshi created illustrations (插图) using another AI program, Midjourney, which uses special computation (计算) rules to translate words into images. When Reshi posted the book online, it became very popular with children. Some people praised Reshi for being clever. However, not everyone was happy. Some artists criticized the book. They said the pictures were of poor quality, and more importantly, the way the pictures were made was a big problem. Midjourney works by searching through millions of images on the internet. It uses algorithms to find patterns in these images and make new ones. The problem is, Midjourney takes images from artists’ work without asking for permission. Some companies have already started using AI instead of human workers. For example, an AI robot told jokes at a comedy club instead of a person. The San Francisco Ballet also used AI-created images for advertising a ballet show called The Nutcracker. Many artists and writers are worried about their jobs. They fear that if AI can create art and writing for less money, people may not pay them for their work. Josephine, a journalist who makes money from writing, says, “I love writing, but it’s troubling to see people looking for cheaper choices instead of supporting real human writers.” There is a real concern about protecting the work of artists and writers who could have their creations used by AI programs. The technology industry that develops these tools should include artists in the process of making them. 24. The passage is most likely to be taken from a ________. A. newspaper B. science fiction C. storybook D. travel guide 25. What does the underlined word “algorithms” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Creative ideas. B. Millions of pictures. C. Useful tools. D. Computation rules. 26. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Midjourney? A. Midjourney is a chatbot that helps writers create stories. B. Midjourney uses algorithms to search images from the internet to create new ones. C. Midjourney was used by Reshi to write the text of Alice and Sparkle. D. Midjourney always asks for permission before using artists’ images. 27. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To support the use of AI tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney in creative industries. B. To show the popularity of Reshi’s book Alice and Sparkle among children. C. To discuss the advantages and challenges of AI in art and writing, especially on human creators. D. To blame (责备) the poor quality of AI-generated illustrations in Reshi’s book. C Uncle Vernon and Dudley came in the kitchen. Uncle Vernon opened his newspaper, and Dudley admired his own Smeltings stick. Suddenly, they heard the sound of the mail slot (邮递投递口). Mail dropped onto the front door. Uncle Vernon ordered Harry to get the mail. Harry went to pick up the mail and found: a postcard from Uncle Vernon’s sister Marge, a bill and…a letter for Harry. Harry picked it up in surprise. No one had ever written to him before. Who would? He had no friends or other relatives. But here it was, a letter for him, with just a simple address: “Hurry up! What are you doing, checking for letter bombs (炸弹)?” Uncle Vernon laughed at his own joke. Harry went back into the kitchen, still holding the letter. He handed Uncle Vernon the bill and the postcard. Uncle Vernon quickly opened the bill and then read the postcard. “Marge’s ill,” he said, looking at the postcard. “Ate something strange.” Just as Harry wanted to open the letter, Dudley suddenly shouted, “Dad! Harry’s got something! ” Uncle Vernon grabbed (抓) it from him. “That’s mine! ” Harry said, trying to grab it back. “Who’d be writing to you?” said Uncle Vernon, opening the letter and looking at it. His face went from red to green, then to white, like old porridge. “Petunia!” Uncle Vernon shouted. Dudley tried to grab the letter, but Uncle Vernon held it high. Aunt Petunia turned around and took the letter and read the first line. She looked like she might fall down. “Vernon! Oh my god -Vernon!” she said. They stared at each other, not noticing that Harry and Dudley were still in the room. Dudley wasn’t used to being ignored (忽略). “I want to read that letter,” he said loudly. “I want to read it,” Harry said angrily, “because it’s mine!” “Get out, both of you! ” Uncle Vernon shouted. He grabbed Harry and Dudley by the necks and threw them into the hall, shutting the kitchen door behind them. (Adapted from Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone) 28. What did Harry get at the front door? ①a postcard ②a stick ③a letter ④a newspaper ⑤a stamp ⑥a bill A. ①②④ B. ①③⑤ C. ①③⑥ D. ①④⑥ 29. What can we know when Harry began to open the letter? A.

D “The red walls and green tiles (瓦) set each other off beautifully. It’s so Beijing” said a 33-year-old Beijing person with the family name of Lin. Lin and her 14-year-old cousin were enjoying a city walk along the Beijing Central Axis (中轴线). On this walk, they saw most of the old city buildings of Beijing, like the Forbidden City and the Bell and Drum Towers. Since the show “Glory Is Back! Beijing (《登场了！北京中轴线》)” was shown in July, people like Lin traveled on foot to know the axis better themselves. Dating back to the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), the 7. 8-kilometer-long Beijing Central Axis starts with Yongdingmen Gate in the south and ends with the Bell and Drum Towers in the north. It matches Forbidden City and the markets at the Bell and Drum Towers area. This way of city planning is described as “court (宫廷) in the front, market in the back”. Other buildings like the Imperial Ancestral Temple (太庙) stands in the east and the Alter of Land and Grain (社稷坛) lies on the west side of the axis. Chinese professor Lyu Zhou said that when he walked around the Bell and Drum Towers, he could find peace in the busy city life. At a square between the Bell Tower and the Drum Towers, you can see people relaxing, cycling and playing games and even celebrating life events. “The towers were once our meeting places. We used to go on dates there. You could say that the towers have seen our love grow,” said a young couple who were taking wedding photos under the Bell and Drum Towers. The traveler Marco Polo (1254-1324) wrote about what he saw along the Central Axis back in the Yuan Dynasty in The Travels of Marco Polo: “Up and down the city there are beautiful palaces... and fine houses in great numbers.” And Osvald Siren (1879-1966) from Sweden took many photos in Beijing back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These western records have given people around the world a taste of its history. 32. How does the writer lead in the topic in the first paragraph? A. By asking questions. B. By giving an example. C. By making comparisons. D. By listing numbers. 33. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refers to “________”. A. Beijing Central Axis B. Yongdingmen Gate C. the Bell and Drum Towers D. the Forbidden City 34. Which of the following describes the Beijing Central Axis correctly? A. B. C. D. 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Marco Polo took many photos when visiting there. B. These western records caused much trouble in the 19th century. C. Osvald Siren was one of those western visitors. D. More foreigners will be interested in the Beijing Central Axis. E —Do you know what holiday falls on November 19? — World Toilet Day, of course! ①Have you thanked your toilet today? Maybe take a moment to thank this useful invention. Unfortunately, many people around the world do not have good toilets. World Toilet Day started in 2001 to draw attention to the problem. Since then, inventors around the world have been hard at work on designs for better toilets. The goal is clean toilets for all. ②Why do so many people live without good toilets? One problem is water shortage. Traditional toilets use water to flush (冲) the waste away. But lots of places don’t have enough water. And if there’s no sewer system (下水道) or water treatment plant, the flushes might go into rivers or onto fields. For almost half of the world’s population, flush toilets are just not practical. As a result, there are always different kinds of toilets that do not need to be flushed. ③Composting toilets might be a good choice. They do not need water, so they’re good for areas that are dry or don’t have sewer systems. ④Haiti’s EkoLakay toilets look like a normal toilet. When you use one, wastes fall into different containers. Some plant parts, like peanut shells or shredded sugar cane stalks are added instead of flush water. This stops smells efficiently. ⑤A pit toilet is the oldest and most basic toilet, which is just a hole in the ground, maybe with an out-house over it. This is simple, but not very clean. Germs (细菌) can escape into the air and get into water. But replacing the pit with a septic tank (化粪池) is a big improvement. Septic pits are lined with plastic or clay, to stop germs. ⑥Tiger toilets get help from an unexpected partner — a kind of worms (蠕虫) on the earth known as tiger worms. These worms love to eat the wastes. Under a tiger toilet is a box with a screen in the middle. Solid (固体) waste stays in the top of the box, where the worms live. Liquid (液体) flows through small holes into sewer systems. Tiger toilets are simple to build. They are recently being tested in India and are proving quite popular. ⑦Educational ways have also played an important role in changing public attitudes towards good toilets. Schools and community programs are teaching people about the importance of them, encouraging behavior changes. ⑧The road to achieving world-wide good toilets is still long.
