Here are two technologies that have amazingly directed my creative life to where I want to see it go. I use this first social platform not to just share my travel experiences,but to connect in person with other travelers,great filmmakers,and interesting creative people I find when searching for my next place. I used Instagram to meet with the people I have now adventured with. I know some people are technology haters,but when used in the right way in this connected world, it can do just the opposite.With the help of technology,you can meet people face-to-face and talk about your interests,and most importantly,teach and learn from one another. This next technology is the real faraway solution to staying connected.Being able to build a deep and meaningful personal or business relationship just over the phone is challenging.Skype was the answer to so many things for me in the last year. The first time I used Skype was back in2007 backpacking(背包旅行)around Europe..I decided to leave my computer and phone behind and was able to use Skype to call home,friends and family.Since then,Skype has evolved(逐渐演变)into a valuable business tool for me.I use it to set up meetings,. reconnect with friends I meet on adventures,and plan creative adventures with other travelers. Without the combination of my two best technology friends,I would have never been able to be at the point I am in my creative career,keep close friendships,and meet some of the most interesting people I would have never come across otherwise. 24.What does the author do? A.She is a tour guide. B.She is a filmmaker. C.She is a travel writer. D.She is a natural scientist. 25.What does the underlined word"it"in paragraph 4 refer to? A.This world B.Technology. C.Connection D.The right way. 26.What did the author use Skype for at first? A.Staying connected. B.Setting up new friendships. C.Helping with the development of her business. D.Getting information about tourist attractions. 27.What is the author's main purpose in writing this text? A.To explain how technology changes people's life. B.To explain how she uses technology in her business. C.To introduce the influence of technology on her life. D.To introduce the two most important technologies in people's life 第4页共10 C Almost everyone has been called an imitator (before.It's within human nature to feel inspired by someone's work.But we've also felt annoyed when someone calls our works his own.Many artists are feeling this same annoyance with the recent rise in popularity of Al art generators. Stable Diffusion,an AI art generator,allows users to type out descriptions of an image and the AI will generate that image. This is the case of Kelly McKerman,Karla Ortiz and Sarah Anderson,the three artists behind a recent lawsuit (against AI art generators.For McKerman,finding out that her art was an inspiration was initially exciting.But she soon realized that the generator allowed anyone to create an original piece of art in her style,with no credit to her.This realization made McKerman angry on behalf of all artists. A world in which anyone can generate art in an instant creates a lessened need for independent artists.It's also harmful because Al art generators create art in specific artists'styles in an instant with no credit to them,even though it may have taken the artists hours to create the original piece.Art generators are not only unfair to current artists,but they are also discouraging to potential future artists.As a person who has considered a career in art,knowing that his work could be used in this way makes him hesitant about pursuing this route.This way of thinking is not uncommon,which should be incredibly worrying. Whether it be graffiti (to support a movement or a fine art piece about injustice,art is a vehicle for social change.Furthermore,art is entertainment;animated movies could not exist without digital artists.Finally,art contains great cultural and historical relevance. The fact that art is essential means that it needs to be protected.AI art generators,like Stable Diffusion,are threatening artists'rights worldwide.Thus,government regulation and clarified protection of artists'rights to their work is key to tackling this new world of AI generated art. 28.Why have many artists got annoyed recently? A.They have been caught up in a lawsuit. B.They have failed to find art inspiration. C.AI art generators create works of art rapidly. D.AI art generators allow users to make imitative images. 29.What is McKernan's attitude toward AI art generators? A.Uncaring. B.Positive. C.Disapproving. D.Doubtful. 30.What is the purpose of paragraph 4? A.To stress the value of art. B.To predict the future of art. C.To describe how AI art generators work. D.To explain how AI art generators impact artists. 31.What is the author's opinion on AI art generators? A.They should be governed by specific rules. B.They should be used to aid artists. C.They should be protected. D.They should be banned. 第5页共10 D Playing a rhythm-based(基于韵律的)game using musical instruments for eight weeks helps non-musicians become better at remembering recently seen faces;that is,their short-term memory for non-musical tasks improves. There have been several studies showing that musicians tend to have better short-term memory than non-musicians when it comes to music-related tasks.It is less clear whether the benefit carries over to non-musical tasks or to non-musicians who are learning to play an instrument,and how the change might actually be seen in the brain. Theodore Zanto at the University of California,San Francisco thinks the benefit will continue to exist.He and his colleagues randomly arranged for a group of 47 non-musicians to play either a tablet-based musical rhythm training game,which is similar to learning to hit a drum in time with the music,or a word search game for eight weeks.At the start and end of the eight weeks,participants took a short-term memory test to measure their ability to remember a face they saw seconds before.Only the group who played the rhythm training game showed an improvement on their initial scores. Brainwave data recorded before and after the training showed an increase of activity in the right superiors parietal lobe(上J顶叶),a brain region associated with encoding(把.,编a码)visual information and attention.This suggests,says Zanto,that the rhythm training is improving the brain's ability to focus attention on a task to get it ready for changing what you are doing into memory. The ability to remember and recognise faces tends to decline as we age,so any possible way to change that is important,says Josh Davis at the University of Greenwich,the UK.However,the effect demonstrated in this study should be shown in real-world facial recognition situations as well as in lab-based tests to be completely convincing,says Davis. 32.Why did Theodore Zanto carry out the memory test? A.To prove previous studies. B.To make comparisons. C.To confirm his prediction. D.To explain a phenomenon. 33.What function is the right superior parietal lobe related to? A.Training attention. B.Recognising faces. C.Visualizing memories. D.Processing information. 34.How does Davis find the study? A.It has limitations. B.It's fully convincing. C.It lacks systematicness. D.It's indeed pioneering. 35.Which can be a suitable title for the text? A.The Great Influence of Rhythm-based Games B.The Practical Method of Preventing Memory Loss C.Playing Instruments:A Way to Improve Short-term Memory D.Rhythm Training:A Necessity for People with a Poor Memory 第6页共10 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。 Music influences your emotions.In turn,your emotions influence your behavior.One of these is your food intake.36 What does science say about this subject? Researchers at the University of Arkansas studied how music influences people when they eat in a restaurant.For the study,they used four types of music:jazz,classical,rock,and hip-hop.Their results showed that people had more appetite()when they listened to jazz music while they ate.37 This has a lot to do with emotions.For instance,when you listen to music with harmonic rhythms like jazz,you feel happier.This increases your appetite. However,another study published in Psychological Reports suggests it isn't only increased appetite that causes people to eat more.38A more stimuli-filled environment makes you eat more.In fact,they tend to urge you on to eat and even"encourage"you to eat faster.On the other hand,if the atmosphere in the restaurant is relaxed,you're likely to feel more relaxed and spend more time enjoying yourself.For this reason,you'll tend to eat less. Besides,the study conducted by the Journal of the Academy suggests that the volume of music can also have an effect on how you eat.More specifically,the study states that,with low-volume music,you eat better because you make healthier choices.On the other hand,the study claims that music at high volume increases stimulation and stress. 39 For this reason,restaurants should consider the fact when thinking about the optimization of their products and services.40 _They equip themselves with the technology needed to provide memorable experiences through music,greatly strengthening their relationship with the customers. A.Does music influence how you eat? B.Being in a rush to eat also plays a part. C.Does your emotion boost your appetite? D.However,they had less appetite when listening to hip-hop. E.In fact,many catering establishments have already taken action. F.This could prove to be quite an interesting concept for restaurants. G.This means you're more likely to order comfort food or other unhealthy options. 第三部分英语知识运用(共四节,满分55分) 第一节完形填空(共15小题;每题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)中选出最佳选项,并在答题 卡上将该项涂黑。 The sun cast its golden rays,painting Islamabad with a warm glow on a warm autumn morning.The 41 of over 100 little boys and girls at a school in the slums (of the Pakistani capital 第7页共10 echoed (through the air.They clapped with happiness,making everyone believe the power of kindness and 42 the early hours of the day.
