From the deserts of Southern California to the forests of Alaska, the U. S. possesses a diversity (多样性) of nature. For most of her life, Joy Ryan never saw the scenery beyond her home state of Ohio. Then, when she was in her mid-eighties, her grandson Brad Ryan decided to take her on a journey to all of the U. S. National Parks, which took eight years to complete. At the age of 93, Grandma Joy has finally seen all 63 parks, ending her journey in the National Park of American Samoa.
“When I learned she had never seen the great wildernesses of America-deserts mountains, oceans, I decided to intervene (干预) in some way,” Brad says. This idea inspired their first trip to the Great Smoky Mountains. However, once they were on the road, Brad realized that they could visit more parks that were nearby. Over the years, they managed to see all of the famous sights at Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, the Redwoods, and so on. But Brad values the time spent with his grandmother just as much as the amazing places they were able to visit.
Despite Grandma Joy’s older age, she was able to hike mountains. Brad regards her love for life as the key to her good health. She is grateful for each new day and is always excited for the next journey. Finally, their long journey across the U.S. came to an end with American Samoa.
“I am thankful every morning for giving me another day,” Grandma Joy shares. “And you’re your choice whether you’re going to have a rainy day or a sunny day. So, smile at everybody, and let everybody know you’re having a whale of a time.” While her tour of the U. S. has come to a close, she and her grandson are not done traveling. Next up, they have their sights set on Kenya.

Traditional methods used by literary scholars to determine authorship often rely on subjective factors such as handwriting analysis or personal knowledge about an author’s life, which can lead to inaccuracies and mistakes.
However, AI algorithms (算法) can analyze large amounts of text data to identify patterns and features unique to each author’s writing style. One example of this is the use of n-grams, which are series of words that appear together in a text. By analyzing the frequency and distribution of specific n-grams in a text, AI algorithms can identify an author’s characteristic writing style with a high degree of accuracy.
Stylometric analysis can also be used to detect illegal literary copying or misattributions (考证错误). By comparing the linguistic patterns and stylistic features of a disputed (有争议的) text to known works by various authors, AI algorithms can determine whether the disputed text is more likely to have been written by one author or another, or whether it may be a new discovery altogether.
Stylistic features obtained through AI-generated n-grams and other techniques can be used not only to determine authorship but also for critical purposes. It is possible not only to test theories about the emergence or change of particular styles over time but also to provide new insights into broader trends in the development of literature. For instance, researchers at the University of Santiago de Compostela used stylometric analysis to prove that two previously unknown 16th-century Spanish novels were actually written by Miguel de Cervantes, the famous author of Don Quixote. It’s a discovery that would have taken years using traditional literary analysis methods.
While some critics argue that AI-led stylometric analyses undermine the human role in literary analysis and interpretation, supporters point out that such analyses expand our understanding of literature by providing objective evidence for subjective opinions.
According to a 2020 report published in Nature Communications, applying AI techniques in literary analysis has led to the identification of previously unknown works by famous authors like William Shakespeare with a success rate of over 75%.
8 What is the focus of the “n-grams” method in research work?
A. The author’s life experience. B. The organization of sentences.
C. The author’s handwriting style. D. The occurence of certain words.
9. What is a precondition for using stylometric analysis?
A. The published works of various authors. B. The newly-discovered works of the authors.
C. A large collection of disputed works. D. All the works of contemporary authors.
10. How does the author make a point in paragraph 4?
A. By making a comparison. B. By referring to specific data.
C. By offering an example. D. By introducing a theory.
11. What is the last paragraph used to demonstrate?
A. The great progress in AI technology. B. The accuracy of AI algorithms.
C. The status of Shakespeare in literature. D. The wide employment of AI techniques.
D
When Kyle D’Costa and his wife met Rio, a nine-month-old shih tzu (西施犬), in 2021, “it was love at first sight. “The new couple soon added a Lhasa Apso (拉萨犬) and rented a bigger flat to give the animals ”more space“.
The D’Costas and millions of other middle-class Indians, no longer pleased with new cars and other Western fancy decorations, they are rapidly acquiring pets. According to Statista, a research company, India had 19.4 million pet dogs in 2018 and may now have 31m. In 2021, Market Decipher, another research organization, valued India’s pet industry at 890’hillion dollars and said that it would continue to grow by 3 times over the next 10 years.
Actually, the pet industry is growing at a fast rate throughout the world. With rising incomes comes increased pet-ownership, especially among young professionals who tend 10 put off marriage and parenthood and to be extremely willing to enjoy the company of a dog. It is only a matter of time before marriage websites include a ”pet-friendly“ option.
As keeping pets becomes increasingly popular, so do those working in the industry. “Being in this trade was despised just five years ago,” says Chinmay, a 30-ycar-old dog trainer in Thane, Mumbai. “How will you find a girlfriend?” he recalls his relatives asking him. But dog trainers in Mumbai can these days earn 2,400 rupees (S30) an hour — more than twice as much as piano teachers. Chinmay is now happily married to one of his customers.
Current pet-industry players are prepared and new ones stepping in. Nestle, the world’s biggest food company, Inst year bought into Purina Petcare, an Indian pet-food business. Emami, an Indian company, targeting daily goods, offers medicines for pets. Euromonitor International, a market-research company, thinks India’s pet-food industry is worth 480 million dollars and will grow to $1.2 billion by 2025.
12. Why are the figures listed in Paragraph 2?
A. To present the benefits of raising pets.
B. To show the popularity of keeping pets.
C. To stress the significance of pet industry.
D. To express dissatisfaction with the situation.
13. What do young professionals prefer to do nowadays?
A. Get married early. B. Earn higher income.
C. Choose friendly pets. D. Draw comfort from pets
14. What does the underlined word “despised” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Looked down on. B. Done justice to.
C. Shown respect for. D. Taken advantage of
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. India’s pet-food industry is worth $1.2 billion.
B. Pet-industry is changing people’s career options.
C. Nestlé has earned a lot in Indian pet-food business.
D. More companies will have a hand in the pet industry.

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A couple of months before I became a high school senior, my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy could ask for: a cellphone. I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I ignored my family and my surroundings. Being connected was more important than being present.
So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going camping!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh. It wasn’t my dream vacation because mind was on my phone. I was so buried in the screen, in fact, that the first time I can remember truly looking up was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite.
I stared out the window and saw redwoods towering above us. I saw a road stretching out like a ribbon.The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot. But none of that mattered to me. The reason I had looked up was for something far more serious: my phone no longer had service.
The last hour of the drive was increasingly tense. My dad announced that he had chosen a campsite that had no cell service, and that my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to contact the outside world! I went through the full cycle of teenage emotions during the first day of the trip. I raged. I bargained. I begged. I flip-flopped (转变) from a depressive state to anger and back.
I went to bed angrily that night. But when I awoke in the morning, something had changed.
1. 续写词数应为150词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings.

Traditional methods used by literary scholars to determine authorship often rely on subjective factors such as handwriting analysis or personal knowledge about an author’s life, which can lead to inaccuracies and mistakes.
However, AI algorithms (算法) can analyze large amounts of text data to identify patterns and features unique to each author’s writing style. One example of this is the use of n-grams, which are series of words that appear together in a text. By analyzing the frequency and distribution of specific n-grams in a text, AI algorithms can identify an author’s characteristic writing style with a high degree of accuracy.
Stylometric analysis can also be used to detect illegal literary copying or misattributions (考证错误). By comparing the linguistic patterns and stylistic features of a disputed (有争议的) text to known works by various authors, AI algorithms can determine whether the disputed text is more likely to have been written by one author or another, or whether it may be a new discovery altogether.
Stylistic features obtained through AI-generated n-grams and other techniques can be used not only to determine authorship but also for critical purposes. It is possible not only to test theories about the emergence or change of particular styles over time but also to provide new insights into broader trends in the development of literature. For instance, researchers at the University of Santiago de Compostela used stylometric analysis to prove that two previously unknown 16th-century Spanish novels were actually written by Miguel de Cervantes, the famous author of Don Quixote. It’s a discovery that would have taken years using traditional literary analysis methods.
While some critics argue that AI-led stylometric analyses undermine the human role in literary analysis and interpretation, supporters point out that such analyses expand our understanding of literature by providing objective evidence for subjective opinions.
According to a 2020 report published in Nature Communications, applying AI techniques in literary analysis has led to the identification of previously unknown works by famous authors like William Shakespeare with a success rate of over 75%.
8. What is the focus of the “n-grams” method in research work?
A. The author’s life experience. B. The organization of sentences.
C. The author’s handwriting style. D. The occurence of certain words.
9. What is a precondition for using stylometric analysis?
A. The published works of various authors. B. The newly-discovered works of the authors.
C. A large collection of disputed works. D. All the works of contemporary authors.
10. How does the author make a point in paragraph 4?
A. By making a comparison. B. By referring to specific data.
C. By offering an example. D. By introducing a theory.
11. What is the last paragraph used to demonstrate?
A. The great progress in AI technology. B. The accuracy of AI algorithms.
C. The status of Shakespeare in literature. D. The wide employment of AI techniques.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能算法在文学作者身份鉴定、抄袭检测等方面的应用。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“One example of this is the use of n-grams, which are series of words that appear together in a text. By analyzing the frequency and distribution of specific n grams in a text, AI algorithms can identify an author’s characteristic writing style with a high degree of accuracy.(其中一个例子是使用n元语法,即文本中一起出现的一系列单词。通过分析文本中特定n元语法的频率和分布,人工智能算法可以高度准确地识别作者的独特写作风格)”可知,“n-grams”指的是文本中一起出现的一系列单词,算法通过分析其频率和分布来识别作者风格,其重点在于某些单词的出现情况。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“By comparing the linguistic patterns and stylistic features of a disputed (有争议的) text to known works by various authors, AI algorithms can determine whether the disputed text is more likely to have been written by one author or another, or whether it may be a new discovery altogether.(通过将有争议文本的语言模式和风格特征与不同作者的已知作品进行比较,人工智能算法可以确定有争议的文本更有可能是由哪位作者所写,或者它是否可能是一个全新的发现)”可知,使用文体计量分析需要将有争议文本与不同作者的已知作品对比。由此推知,文体计量分析的前提是要有不同作者已出版的作品。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Stylistic features obtained through AI-generated n-grams and other techniques can be used not only to determine authorship but also for critical purposes.(通过人工智能生成的n元语法和其他技术获得的风格特征不仅可以用于确定作者身份,还可以用于批判性目的)”和“For instance, researchers at the University of Santiago de Compostela used stylometric analysis to prove that two previously unknown 16th century Spanish novels were actually written by Miguel de Cervantes, the famous author of Don Quixote.(例如,圣地亚哥德孔波斯特拉大学的研究人员使用文体计量分析证明,两部此前未知的16世纪西班牙小说实际上是由《堂吉诃德》的著名作者米格尔·德·塞万提斯所写)”可知,作者通过举例来论证文体计量分析不仅能确定作者身份,还可用于批判性目的这一观点。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“According to a 2020 report published in Nature Communications, applying AI techniques in literary analysis has led to the identification of previously unknown works by famous authors like William Shakespeare with a success rate of over 75%.(根据2020年发表在《自然通讯》上的一份报告,在文学分析中应用人工智能技术已经成功识别出像威廉·莎士比亚等著名作家的此前未知作品,成功率超过75%)”可知,最后一段用高成功率的数据来体现AI算法在文学分析中的准确性。故选B项。

When Kyle D’Costa and his wife met Rio, a nine-month-old shih tzu (西施犬), in 2021, “it was love at first sight. “The new couple soon added a Lhasa Apso (拉萨犬) and rented a bigger flat to give the animals ”more space“.
The D’Costas and millions of other middle-class Indians, no longer pleased with new cars and other Western fancy decorations, they are rapidly acquiring pets. According to Statista, a research company, India had 19.4 million pet dogs in 2018 and may now have 31m. In 2021, Market Decipher, another research organization, valued India’s pet industry at 890’hillion dollars and said that it would continue to grow by 3 times over the next 10 years.
Actually, the pet industry is growing at a fast rate throughout the world. With rising incomes comes increased pet-ownership, especially among young professionals who tend 10 put off marriage and parenthood and to be extremely willing to enjoy the company of a dog. It is only a matter of time before marriage websites include a ”pet-friendly“ option.
As keeping pets becomes increasingly popular, so do those working in the industry. “Being in this trade was despised just five years ago,” says Chinmay, a 30-ycar-old dog trainer in Thane, Mumbai. “How will you find a girlfriend?” he recalls his relatives asking him. But dog trainers in Mumbai can these days earn 2,400 rupees (S30) an hour — more than twice as much as piano teachers. Chinmay is now happily married to one of his customers.
Current pet-industry players are prepared and new ones stepping in. Nestle, the world’s biggest food company, Inst year bought into Purina Petcare, an Indian pet-food business. Emami, an Indian company, targeting daily goods, offers medicines for pets. Euromonitor International, a market-research company, thinks India’s pet-food industry is worth 480 million dollars and will grow to $1.2 billion by 2025.
12. Why are the figures listed in Paragraph 2?
A. To present the benefits of raising pets.
B. To show the popularity of keeping pets.
C. To stress the significance of pet industry.
D. To express dissatisfaction with the situation.
13. What do young professionals prefer to do nowadays?
A. Get married early. B. Earn higher income.
C. Choose friendly pets. D. Draw comfort from pets
14. What does the underlined word “despised” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Looked down on. B. Done justice to.
C. Shown respect for. D. Taken advantage of
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. India’s pet-food industry is worth $1.2 billion.
B Pet-industry is changing people’s career options.
C. Nestlé has earned a lot in Indian pet-food business.
D. More companies will have a hand in the pet industry.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是现在印度养宠物的人越来越多,而且宠物产业在全世界越来越受欢迎。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The D’Costas and millions of other middle-class Indians, no longer pleased with new cars and other Western fancy decorations, they are rapidly acquiring pets.(D’Costas一家和数以百万计的其他中产阶级印度人不再满足于新车和其他西方花哨的装饰,他们正在迅速养宠物。)”可知,D’Costas这样的中产阶级正在迅速地养宠物,进而在下文中的列出相应的一些数据,由此可知,列举这些数据的目的是为了说明养宠物的受欢迎程度。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“With rising incomes comes increased pet-ownership, especially among young professionals who tend 10 put off marriage and parenthood and to be extremely willing to enjoy the company of a dog.(随着收入的增加,养宠物的人也越来越多,尤其是年轻的专业人士,他们往往会推迟结婚生子的时间,而且非常愿意享受狗的陪伴。)”可知,一些年轻的专业人士推迟结婚生子的时间,愿意享受狗的陪伴,由此可知,现在年轻的专业人士更喜欢从宠物身上获得安慰。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词前的“As keeping pets becomes increasingly popular, so do those working in the industry.(随着养狗越来越受欢迎,在这个行业工作的人也越来越受欢迎。)”可知,随着养宠物越来越受欢迎,所以这个行业的从业人员也受欢迎,结合划线单词后的““How will you find a girlfriend?” he recalls his relatives asking him.( “你怎么找女朋友?”他回忆起亲戚们这样问他。)”可知,五年前的时候,从事宠物相关行业的人找女朋友都不容易,由此可知,五年前的时候,从事宠物行业是被看不起的,由此可知,划线单词的意思应与“看不起”意义相近。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Current pet-industry players are prepared and new ones stepping in. Nestle, the world’s biggest food company, Inst year bought into Purina Petcare, an Indian pet-food business.(目前宠物行业的参与者已经做好了准备,新的参与者也开始介入。)”以及下文中的介绍的雀巢公司收购印度宠物食品公司和一家以日用品为目标的印度公司Emami为宠物提供药品可知,目前的宠物行业的参与者已经准备好,新的参与者也开始介入,由此可知,将会有更多的公司将涉足宠物行业。故选D项。

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A couple of months before I became a high school senior, my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy could ask for: a cellphone. I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I ignored my family and my surroundings. Being connected was more important than being present.
So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going camping!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh. It wasn’t my dream vacation because mind was on my phone. I was so buried in the screen, in fact, that the first time I can remember truly looking up was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite.
I stared out the window and saw redwoods towering above us. I saw a road stretching out like a ribbon.The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot. But none of that mattered to me. The reason I had looked up was for something far more serious: my phone no longer had service.
The last hour of the drive was increasingly tense. My dad announced that he had chosen a campsite that had no cell service, and that my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to contact the outside world! I went through the full cycle of teenage emotions during the first day of the trip. I raged. I bargained. I begged. I flip-flopped (转变) from a depressive state to anger and back.
I went to bed angrily that night. But when I awoke in the morning, something had changed.

【答案】
Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings. I let the noise of the wilderness wash over me, animals and bugs creating a ruckus that was both loud and serene at the same time. My anger turned to peace, then little interest and, finally, excitement. Standing on the high campsite, I felt the weight of stress melt from my shoulders as I viewed the vast expanse that unfolded below me. The sight that met my startled eyes nearly took my breath away. For the first time, I thought camping in a place that had no cell service might not be so bad.
The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. I hiked. I swam. I fished. My dad and I learned how to start a fire together after several false starts. We cooked together and I ate the sweetest marshmallows I had ever tasted. Dad told me stories of his life, stories I had never heard or perhaps I hadn’t been listening. When the weekend came to an end, I realized I hadn’t thought of my phone once. I hadn’t felt the need to be connected to anywhere else. It dawned on me that what mattered most were the moments I was sharing with just my father and nature.
