第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题2.5 分, 满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
The quiz tries to test non-native English speaker's vocabulary size. New results show the largest proportion of participants know 4,500 words (in the range from 4,250 to 4,749), with the median vocabulary size of 7,826* under the influence of the following factors.
Factors
Academic performance: In class, how about your homework, study, exam, logic, etc.?
Classroom participation: In class, how much did you participate, talking and asking questions? Natural ability: In class, how much do you feel about learning English? Is it easy or difficult? Outside of class: How much do you use English in real life, learning things outside of class? Being abroad: Did you travel to English-speaking countries? How much time did you spend?
Findings
Academic performance helps, up to doubling your vocabulary size. Classroom participation matters too, giving you up to a 50% increase in vocabulary. Outside of class is the biggest difference. Students who do lots of things in English outside of class have more than twice the vocabulary of those who don't. Being abroad brings the average student from around 7,000 to 10,000 words.
Be aware that the results above are suggestive only. More research will tell.
1. What is the vocabulary size of most participants in the quiz?
A. 4,500. B. 4,250. C. 4,749 D. 7,826
2. Which factor helps to enlarge vocabulary most?

C. Outside class activities. D. Classroom participation.
3. Where is the passage most likely from?
A. An English poster. B. An English dictionary.

B
The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed, “Of course you may!” “Why are you in college at such an age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids.….”
“No seriously” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.
After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.
We became instant friends. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus star and she easily made friends wherever she went.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the stage. “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.”
There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.
The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.
At the year’s end Rose finished the college degrees he had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.
4. Where did the author meet Rose?
A. In the first day class of college. B. In the student union building.
C. In the professor’s office. D. At the football banquet.
5. Why did Rose go to college at such an old age?
A. To find her love. B. To meet more friends.
C. To realize her college dream. D. To find humor that makes her laugh.
6. Which of the following idea would Rose agree with?
A. Growing older means growing up. B. Growing up means becoming an adult.
C. Growing up doesn’t take any talent or ability. D. Growing up needs to take action to find chances.
7. Which words can best describe Rose?
A. Old and talkative. B. Considerate and caring.
C. Positive and determined. D. Humorous and smart.
C
Pupils are receiving laughter therapy (疗法) to fight against post-COVID gloom (疫后忧郁). The £15,000-a-year Brighton Girls school hopes that the hour-long classes will ease anxiety and other effects of lockdown son children.
A report from the Royal College of Psychiatrists has said that almost 200, 000 young people have been referred to mental (精神的) health services in the past three months, almost double the level before the pandemic(大流行病). The government is to give £517 million to strengthen mental health support to help pupils.
Emma Jennings, a laughter therapist, who runs the classes, said: “Children have been separated and no amount of online contact makes up for that.” Her lessons begin with children talking about feeling any nerves or anxiety before they are instructed to laugh “in the style of a James Bond villain (剧中反面人物)”.
Jennings then leads the girls through deep breathing exercises before “playful and silly games” where they are told to point at themselves and laugh while making eye contact. “Eye contact is really important as it has some effect on the brain so you smile because others are smiling and you laugh because others are,” Jennings said. “That is why tiny babies are able to smile at you when you smile at them.” She added: “We end the class by laughing for no reason while sitting in a circle. You just-listen to the sounds of other people’s laughter, which brings more laughter.”
Rosie McColl, the head teacher of Brighton Girls, said: “We thought it would be great to introduce a fun class, which young girls can walk away from having physically felt a drop in stress levels. Children laugh on average 400 times a day while adults manage just 15, which explains why adults are a lot more stressed generally.”
“I’d like to make sure our pupils are laughing as much as possible. We are also introducing the classes for our teachers and parents too.”
8. What problem did the report find?
A More youth can’t afford their education.
B. More youth laugh for no reason in class.
C. More youth have felt down since the pandemic.
D. More youth haven’t received a health check this year.
9. What does Jennings ask students to do at the start of class?
A. Have an online contact. B. Talk about their worries.
C. Tell an interesting story. D. See a James Bond movie.
10. Why does Jennings mention tiny babies?
A. To show the effects of eye contact.
B. To call on pupils to learn from them.
C. To explain the role of smiling in their growth.
D. To stress the importance of smiling to the brain.
11. What can we learn from McColl’s words?
A. She arranges fun classes each week.
B. She thinks adults really need laughter.
C. She encourages girls to take the class.
D. She suggests more schools try the class.
D
In one horrible film plot, Al eventually outsmarts humans and takes over computers and factories. In another, large language models (LLMs) of the sort that power generative AI like ChatGPT give bad guys the know-how to create destructive cyberweapons.
It is time to think hard about these film plots, not because they have become more probable but because policymakers around the world are considering measures to guard against them. The idea that AI could drive humans to extinction is speculative — no one yet knows how such a threat might materialise and no common methods exist for determining what counts as risky. Plenty of research needs to be done before standards and rules can be set.
Governments cannot ignore a technology that could change the world deeply. Regulators have been too slow in the past, but there is danger, too, in acting hurriedly. If they go too fast, policymakers could create global rules that are aimed at the wrong problems and are ineffective against the real ones.
Because of the computing resources and technical skills required, only a handful of companies have so far developed powerful “frontier” models. New hurried regulations could easily block out competitors to the “handful of companies”, especially because these companies are working closely with governments on writing the rule book. A focus on extreme risks is likely to make regulators careful of open -source models, which are freely available and can easily be revised.
The best that governments can do now is to set up the basic systems to study the technology and its potential risks, and ensure that those working on the problem have enough resources. As AI develops further, regulators will have a far better idea of what risks they are guarding against, and consequently what the rule book should look like. A fully mature body could eventually take shape. But creating it will take time and reflection.
12. What does the first paragraph function as?
A. An argument. B. An explanation. C. A comment. D. A lead-in.
13. What does the underlined word “speculative” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Theoretical. B. Common. C. Unique. D. False.
14. What is the harm of regulators’ going too fast on the AI issue?
A. Competition in this area is prevented. B. The development of AI is restricted.
C. AI will be applied to a limited degree. D. The public will be misled about danger.
15. Which can be the best title of the text?
A. AI: a Real Threat? B. Don’t Rush into Policing AI
C. AI: Humans’ Friend or Enemy? D. Time for Government to Regulate AI

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段““Eye contact is really important as it has some effect on the brain so you smile because others are smiling and you laugh because others are,” Jennings said. “That is why tiny babies are able to smile at you when you smile at them.”(“眼神交流真的很重要,因为它对大脑有一定的影响,所以你微笑是因为别人在微笑,你笑是由于别人在笑”,Jennings说,“这就是为什么当你对婴儿微笑时,他们能够对你微笑。”)”可知眼神交流导致婴儿笑;由此推知,倒数第三段提到婴儿是为了说明眼神交流的效果,故选A项。

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We thought it would be great to introduce a fun class, which young girls can walk away from having physically felt a drop in stress levels.

D
In one horrible film plot, Al eventually outsmarts humans and takes over computers and factories. In another, large language models (LLMs) of the sort that power generative AI like ChatGPT give bad guys the know-how to create destructive cyberweapons.
It is time to think hard about these film plots, not because they have become more probable but because policymakers around the world are considering measures to guard against them. The idea that AI could drive humans to extinction is speculative — no one yet knows how such a threat might materialise and no common methods exist for determining what counts as risky. Plenty of research needs to be done before standards and rules can be set.
Governments cannot ignore a technology that could change the world deeply. Regulators have been too slow in the past, but there is danger, too, in acting hurriedly. If they go too fast, policymakers could create global rules that are aimed at the wrong problems and are ineffective against the real ones.
Because of the computing resources and technical skills required, only a handful of companies have so far developed powerful “frontier” models. New hurried regulations could easily block out competitors to the “handful of companies”, especially because these companies are working closely with governments on writing the rule book. A focus on extreme risks is likely to make regulators careful of open -source models, which are freely available and can easily be revised.
The best that governments can do now is to set up the basic systems to study the technology and its potential risks, and ensure that those working on the problem have enough resources. As AI develops further, regulators will have a far better idea of what risks they are guarding against, and consequently what the rule book should look like. A fully mature body could eventually take shape. But creating it will take time and reflection.
12. What does the first paragraph function as?
A. An argument. B. An explanation. C. A comment. D. A lead-in.
13. What does the underlined word “speculative” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Theoretical. B. Common. C. Unique. D. False.
14. What is the harm of regulators’ going too fast on the AI issue?
A. Competition in this area is prevented. B. The development of AI is restricted.
C. AI will be applied to a limited degree. D. The public will be misled about danger.
15. Which can be the best title of the text?
A. AI: a Real Threat? B. Don’t Rush into Policing AI
C. AI: Humans’ Friend or Enemy? D. Time for Government to Regulate AI
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. B

【导语】本文是议论文,主要讲的是世界各地的政策制定者正在考虑采取措施来防范人工智能发展太快,但是监管机构在人工智能问题上走得太快是会带来一些坏处的。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。第一段“In one horrible film plot, Al eventually outsmarts humans and takes over computers and factories. In another, large language models (LLMs) of the sort that power generative AI like ChatGPT give bad guys the know-how to create destructive cyberweapons.(在一部恐怖的电影情节中,人工智能最终战胜了人类,接管了电脑和工厂。在另一种情况下,为ChatGPT等生成式人工智能提供动力的大型语言模型(LLMs)为坏人提供了制造破坏性网络武器的技术。)”提到了两个电影情节中人工智能的行为,第二段“It is time to think hard about these film plots, not because they have become more probable but because policymakers around the world are considering measures to guard against them.(现在是认真思考这些电影情节的时候了,不是因为它们变得更有可能发生,而是因为世界各地的政策制定者正在考虑采取措施防范它们。)”说到世界各地的政策制定者正在考虑采取措施防范它们,故第一段的作用就是充当引子,引出主题。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。画线词所在部分“The idea that AI could drive humans to extinction”表示“人工智能可能导致人类灭绝的想法是⋯⋯”,接着后面补充说道“no one yet knows how such a threat might materialise and no common methods exist for determining what counts as risky(没有人知道这样的威胁是如何实现的,也没有通用的方法来确定什么是危险的)”,由此可知,画线词所在句子表示“人工智能可能导致人类灭绝的想法是推测性的”,画线词应表示“猜测的,猜想的”,和Theoretical意思相近。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“If they go too fast, policymakers could create global rules that are aimed at the wrong problems and are ineffective against the real ones.(如果们走得太快,政策制定者可能会制定针对错误问题的全球规则,而对真正的问题则无效。)”和第四段“Because of the computing resources and technical skills required, only a handful of companies have so far developed powerful “frontier” models. New hurried regulations could easily block out competitors to the “handful of companies”, especially because these companies are working closely with governments on writing the rule book.(由于需要计算资源和技术技能,迄今为止只有少数公司开发了强大的“前沿”模型。匆忙出台的新法规很容易将“少数公司”的竞争对手拒之门外,尤其是因为这些公司正与政府密切合作制定规则。)”可知,监管机构在人工智能问题上走得太快的坏处是这一领域的竞争受到阻碍。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第三段“If they go too fast, policymakers could create global rules that are aimed at the wrong problems and are ineffective against the real ones.(如果他们走得太快,政策制定者可能会制定针对错误问题的全球规则,而对真正的问题则无效。)”,第四段“Because of the computing resources and technical skills required, only a handful of companies have so far developed powerful “frontier” models. New hurried regulations could easily block out competitors to the “handful of companies”, especially because these companies are working closely with governments on writing the rule book.(由于需要计算资源和技术技能,迄今为止只有少数公司开发了强大的“前沿”模型。匆忙出台的新法规很容易将“少数公司”的竞争对手拒之门外,尤其是因为这些公司正与政府密切合作制定规则。)”和最后一段“As AI develops further, regulators will have a far better idea of what risks they are guarding against, and consequently what the rule book should look like. A fully mature body could eventually take shape. But creating it will take time and reflection.(随着人工智能的进一步发展,监管机构将对自己要防范的风险有更好的了解,从而知道规则手册应该是什么样子。一个完全成熟的身体最终会成形。但创造它需要时间和思考。)”可知,本文主要讲的是世界各地的政策制定者正在考虑采取措施来防范人工智能发展太快,但是监管机构在人工智能问题上走得太快是会带来一些坏处的,因此B项“Don’t Rush into Policing AI(不要急于监管人工智能)”作文章标题最合适。故选B。

【答案】
Dear Jeff,
I’m terribly sorry to hear that you are addicted to short videos in order to reduce your pressure. But it won’t work and will even cause the matter worse. Here are a few instructive suggestions you may follow.
First of all, if I were you, I would do my best to limit the time spent on short videos each day, so I could spend more time on other meaningful activities and hobbies. What’s more, another step would be finding your life purpose in reality, from enjoying face-to-face conversations with your family and friends to taking a walk in the sunshine.
I do hope my advice will be of some help to you. Looking forward to your good news.
Yours,
Li Hua
