But you will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck! Sharon, Aged 22 The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It’s best to learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to do. Eddie, Aged 20 When I started high school, I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled (家中教学) all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it. David, Aged 19 I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen (高年级学生) will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry. 1. What can we infer (推断) from Sharon about high school? A. Teachers are quite strict. B. Students often stay up at night. C. Teachers provide much care for students. D. Students should make good use of their time. 2. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school? A. Bored. B. Excited. C. Worried. D. Relaxed. 3. Who mentions the importance of friends? A. Frank. B. Eddie. C. Sharon. D. David. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要讲述了四个不同年龄段的人对于如何让高中第一周过得轻松的看法和建议。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sharon, Aged 22部分中“It’s best to learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to do.

A statement signed by academic experts and tech industry figures even branded AI an “extinction risk.” In education, there have been concerns that ChatGPT could negatively affect the learning process of students. For example, students could ask ChatGPT to write their coursework for them, skipping the research and writing effort that leads to a better understanding of the topic in question. Perhaps a better approach would be to change and enhance how we teach and assess the outcomes of learning. Making education more focused on practical skills and the use of knowledge in problem solving could ensure a deeper understanding on the part of students. AI could be used for guidance in much the same way we currently use calculators, to help enrich people’s knowledge. However, risks do exist. In May 2023, for example, a US lawyer admitted using ChatGPT for case research. The lawyer’s filing was found to reference legal cases that didn’t exist. The chatbot had made them up. It’s not the first time that these “AI hallucinations” have been reported. Then we have the very real risk that AI could be used for illegal purposes such as identity theft. For example, criminals could use AI to clone someone’s voice. They could then phone family members and try to convince them to give out sensitive information that could be helpful for accessing bank accounts. A variant of AI-driven identity theft is the use of deepfake videos. However, Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder, sounds less worried than some other executives in Silicon Valley about the risks of artificial intelligence. In a blog post on Tuesday, he wrote, “This is not the first time a major innovation has introduced new threats that had to be controlled. We’ve done it before.” 8. What is a consequence of students’ using ChatGPT? A. Reduced learning time. B. Improved academic performance. C. A lack of learning process. D. Health issues. 9. What might be an example of AI hallucinations? A. Reproducing real events. B. Recommending irrelevant information. C. Providing incorrect recommendations. D. Generating non-existent legal cases. 10. What’s paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Identity theft through AI techniques. B. Cloning someone’s voice using AI. C. The potential dangers of AI for illegal purposes. D. Deepfake videos as a form of AI-driven identity theft. 11. What attitude does Bill Gates have to the side effects of AI? A. He doesn’t care about them. B. He thinks them controllable. C. He takes them very seriously. D. He doubts their occurrence. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。我们一直听说人工智能带来的威胁，一份由学术专家和科技行业人士签署的声明甚至将人工智能列为“灭绝风险”。本文主要讲述了ChatGPT产生的负面影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In education, there have been concerns that ChatGPT could negatively affect the learning process of students. For example, students could ask ChatGPT to write their coursework for them, skipping the research and writing effort that leads to a better understanding of the topic in question. (在教育领域，有人担心ChatGPT会对学生的学习过程产生负面影响。例如，学生可以要求ChatGPT为他们撰写课程作业，跳过研究和写作工作，从而更好地理解所讨论的主题。)”可知，学生使用ChatGPT的一个后果是缺乏学习过程。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, risks do exist. In May 2023, for example, a US lawyer admitted using ChatGPT for case research. The lawyer’s filing was found to reference legal cases that didn’t exist. The chatbot had made them up. (然而，风险确实存在。例如，在2023年5月，一位美国律师承认使用ChatGPT进行案例研究。该律师的文件被发现引用了一些不存在的法律案例。是聊天机器人编出来的。)”可知，“AI hallucinations”的其中一个例子就是其产生了不存在的法律案件。故选D。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段的中心句“Then we have the very real risk that AI could be used for illegal purposes such as identity theft. (那么我们就面临着人工智能可能被用于非法目的的风险，比如身份盗窃。)”可知，第五段主要讲解的是人工智能用于非法目的的潜在危险。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder, sounds less worried than some other executives in Silicon Valley about the risks of artificial intelligence. In a blog post on Tuesday, he wrote, “This is not the first time a major innovation has introduced new threats that had to be controlled. We’ve done it before.” (然而，与硅谷的其他一些高管相比，微软(Microsoft)联合创始人比尔•盖茨(Bill Gates)似乎不那么担心人工智能的风险。他在周二的一篇博客文章中写道，“重大创新带来了必须加以控制的新威胁，这已经不是第一次了。我们以前做过。”)”可知，他认为重大创新带来了必须加以控制的新威胁，即它们是可控的。故选B。 D Daphne Soares, a biologist, made an amazing discovery about alligators (短吻鳄). The investigation of the sensory dots of alligators began when she was at university. Now she holds a research position at the University of Maryland. The first time Daphne Soares got really close to an alligator was when she was helping to hold down an eight-foot alligator. When she got close to the alligator, she noticed that its face was covered with little black spots. She started her study of the black dots when she went to the library. When she read the books and the scientific journals, she learned that people had noticed the dots. People thought that the dots were some kind of sense organ. However, no one really knew what the dots were for. It was a complete accident when she found out what the dots were used for. She placed electrodes (电极) on nerves coming from some of the sensory dots. When the nerves were stimulated, they created a tiny electric current. Just then she heard a small sound over a audio speaker. She tried to see if the dots acted like eyes and temperature sensors, but nothing worked. One day she accidentally dropped a tool into an alligator’s tank. When she put her hand in the tank to get the tool out, she made small ripples (涟漪) in the water. When the ripples reached the alligator’s face, she heard a noise over the speaker. She then realized that the dots must be sensitive to the changes in pressure when they were hit by ripples of water. After that, she is now studying blind cavefish. She is trying to learn whether they are blind from birth or lose their sight as they grow up. 12. What was Daphne Soares doing when she noticed the black dots? A. Studying the sense organ. B. Helping to keep a hold of an alligator. C. Observing an alligator in a pond. D. Reading scientific journal in the library. 13. What did Daphne Soares do in order to find out the use of the black dots? A. She collected data online. B. She did some field observations. C. She sought help from professionals. D. She did some scientific experiments. 14. Which sense are the black dots on the alligator’s face related to? A. The sense of feeling. B. The sense of sight. C. The sense of taste. D. The sense of hearing. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. A Born Biologist B. The Types of Alligators C. A Discovery About Alligators D. Daphne Soares’ Stories 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Daphne Soares关于短吻鳄的一些研究发现以及发现过程。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The first time Daphne Soares got really close to an alligator was when she was helping to hold down an eight-foot alligator. When she got close to the alligator, she noticed that its face was covered with little black spots.(Daphne Soares第一次真正接近鳄鱼是在她帮忙按住一条8英尺长的鳄鱼的时候。当她靠近鳄鱼时，她注意到它的脸上布满了小黑点)”可知，Daphne Soares注意到那些黑点时在帮忙按住鳄鱼。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“She placed electrodes (电极) on nerves coming from some of the sensory dots. When the nerves were stimulated, they created a tiny electric current. Just then she heard a small sound over a audio speaker. She tried to see if the dots acted like eyes and temperature sensors, but nothing worked.(她将电极放置在来自一些感觉点的神经上。当神经受到刺激时，它们会产生微小的电流。就在这时，她听到扬声器里传来一个小小的声音。她试着看看这些点是否像眼睛和温度传感器一样，但都不起作用)”可推知，为了找出黑点的用途，Daphne Soares做了一些科学实验。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One day she accidentally dropped a tool into an alligator’s tank. When she put her hand in the tank to get the tool out, she made small ripples (涟漪) in the water. When the ripples reached the alligator’s face, she heard a noise over the speaker. She then realized that the dots must be sensitive to the changes in pressure when they were hit by ripples of water.(一天，她不小心把一个工具掉进了鳄鱼的水箱里。当她把手伸进水箱把工具拿出来时，她在水里激起了小涟漪。当涟漪到达鳄鱼的脸时，她听到扬声器里有声音。然后她意识到，当这些圆点受到水波纹的冲击时，它们一定对压力的变化很敏感)”可推知，这些黑点对压力的变化很敏感，所以与感觉感官有关。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Daphne Soares, a biologist, made an amazing discovery about alligators (短吻鳄). The investigation of the sensory dots of alligators began when she was at university. Now she holds a research position at the University of Maryland.(生物学家达芙妮·苏亚雷斯(Daphne Soares)有一个关于短吻鳄的惊人发现。对短吻鳄感官点的研究始于她上大学的时候。现在她在马里兰大学从事研究工作)”可知，本文主要讲述Daphne Soares关于短吻鳄的一些研究发现。由此可知，C项“A Discovery About Alligators(关于鳄鱼的一个发现)”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We watch our salt and fat intake to protect our hearts. We exercise and take calcium to protect our bones. We wear sun-protective clothing to protect our skin. But what can we do to protect our eyes? ____16____. We asked experts what lifestyle steps people should be taking to protect their vision and eye health. Take a break from screens There’s no scientific evidence that the blue light from electronic screens damages our eyes, but staring at a screen can leave eyes tired and may even blur (使模糊) vision. The National Institutes of Health recommends taking a break every twenty minutes to look at something about twenty feet away for twenty seconds. ____17____. Eat for your eyes ____18____. Research shows that foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids can help lower the risk of age-related eye problems. For lots of vitamin C, grab strawberries, tomatoes, red and green peppers, and broccoli. For vitamin E, choose peanuts, almonds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin. For zinc, good sources are beef, fortified cereals and especially oysters. For omega-3 fatty acids, look for fish like salmon, tuna and halibut. ____19____ First, the obvious: Smoking isn’t just bad for your lungs; it can harm eyes too. “Smoking is terrible,” says Dr. Akpek. “It causes dry eyes and makes eye diseases worse.” Also, try not to rub your eyes. “Rubbing makes inflammation (炎症) worse,” says Dr. Akpek. “The more you rub, the more sick your eyes will get. It can lead to infections.” Instead, “take medication or use drops.” Contact a specialist Finally, don’t forget to see an eye specialist for a checkup. ____20____, and all are best treated when found early. For most people, unless there are noticeable problems, the experts recommend a baseline exam at age 40 and then follow-ups as recommended by the doctor. A. Get rid of smoking B. Turns out, quite a lot C. Stop those bad habits D. Not all eye problems are noticeable E. Glasses that block blue lights doesn’t do the trick F. Indoor heating and air conditioning can dry the eyes G. You can skip medicines that claim to improve eye health 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. G 19. C 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了专家提供的可以保护视力和眼睛健康的一些生活方式。 【16题详解】 前文“But what can we do to protect our eyes? (但是我们能做些什么来保护我们的眼睛呢)”以问题的形式引出保护眼睛的方法，因此B项“Turns out, quite a lot (事实证明，相当多)”符合语境，回答了前文的问题，说明保护方法很多。故选B。 【17题详解】 前文“There’s no scientific evidence that the blue light from electronic screens damages our eyes, but staring at a screen can leave eyes tired and may even blur (使模糊) vision. The National Institutes of Health recommends taking a break every twenty minutes to look at something about twenty feet away for twenty seconds. (没有科学证据表明电子屏幕发出的蓝光会损害我们的眼睛，但盯着屏幕会让眼睛疲劳，甚至可能模糊视力。美国国立卫生研究院建议每隔20分钟休息一下，看20英尺外的东西20秒)”说明蓝光未被证明有损眼睛，建议通过休息和看远方来缓解久看屏幕的疲劳，因此E项“Glasses that block blue lights doesn’t do the trick (阻挡蓝光的眼镜不起作用)”符合语境，说明防蓝光眼镜无效，承接前文，其中的blue lights与前文的the blue light呼应。故选E。 【18题详解】 空处位于段首，需引出段落内容。后文“Research shows that foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids can help lower the risk of age-related eye problems. (研究表明，富含维生素C、维生素E、锌和omega-3脂肪酸的食物有助于降低与年龄有关的眼部问题的风险)”说明可以通过食物来降低眼部问题的风险，因此G项“You can skip medicines that claim to improve eye health (你可以不吃那些声称能改善眼睛健康的药物)”符合语境，说明可以不吃药物，引出后文吃食物的方法。故选G。 【19题详解】 空处是小标题，需统领段落内容，且需和其他标题一样使用祈使句的形式。根据后文“First, the obvious: Smoking isn’t just bad for your lungs; it can harm eyes too. (首先，显而易见的是：吸烟不仅对肺部有害；它也会伤害眼睛)”和“Also, try not to rub your eyes. (另外，尽量不要揉眼睛)”可知，这里主要围绕改掉吸烟和揉眼睛这两个坏习惯展开，因此C项“Stop those bad habits (改掉那些坏习惯)”符合语境，建议改掉坏习惯，契合后文内容。故选C。 【20题详解】 前文“Finally, don’t forget to see an eye specialist for a checkup. (最后，别忘了去看眼科专家做检查)”建议去眼科专家那里做检查，后文“and all are best treated when found early (而且所有疾病都是在早期发现时治疗最好)”进一步解释了去做检查的原因，因此D项“Not all eye problems are noticeable (并非所有的眼部问题都是显而易见的)”符合语境，是去做检查的第一个原因，承前启后。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题； 每小题1分，满分 15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I began planning to move to Auckland to study, my mother was worried about a lack of jobs and cultural differences.

But you will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck! Sharon, Aged 22 The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It’s best to learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to do. Eddie, Aged 20 When I started high school, I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled (家中教学) all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it. David, Aged 19 I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen (高年级学生) will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry. 1. What can we infer (推断) from Sharon about high school? A. Teachers are quite strict. B. Students often stay up at night. C Teachers provide much care for students. D. Students should make good use of their time. 2. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school? A. Bored. B. Excited. C. Worried. D. Relaxed. 3. Who mentions the importance of friends? A. Frank. B. Eddie. C. Sharon. D. David. B Robert was a boy of eight years old. One day, when he was doing cleaning at home, he thought he should move the box out of the house. The box made of wood was very heavy. And it was much bigger than he was. He tried, but he could not move it. After resting for a short time, the boy started once more, but failed again. He couldn’t even move it a bit. He felt very tired and hopeless. Just then, his father came home from work and saw his son work hard. He didn’t help Robert. Instead, he asked, “Dear son, have you done your best? And are you doing everything you can?”“Yes, I am!”the boy cried. “No, you’re not.” his father said quietly, “You have not asked me to help you. Asking for help is not a weakness (弱点). At some point, even the strongest of us needs help. It is important to know when to ask for help and understand why you need it. Never be afraid to ask others for help when you’re in trouble.” Robert nodded with a big smile. 4. What did the boy want to move away? A. A stone. B. A box. C. A wood. D. A toy 5. The thing Robert tried to move out was very__________. A. big and heavy B. small but heavy C. small and light D. big but light 6. How did Robert feel after he tried again and again? A. He hoped he could move it later. B. He thought he could ask for help. C. He felt very tired and hopeless. D. He became very proud of himself. 7. What can be the best title of the passage? A. How to move a heavy thing away B. An interesting story about Robert C. Robert’s hard work D. Learn to ask for help when needed C Since the AI chatbot ChatGPT was released in 2020 we’ve been hearing about the threat posed by artificial intelligence. A statement signed by academic experts and tech industry figures even branded AI an “extinction risk.” In education, there have been concerns that ChatGPT could negatively affect the learning process of students. For example, students could ask ChatGPT to write their coursework for them, skipping the research and writing effort that leads to a better understanding of the topic in question. Perhaps a better approach would be to change and enhance how we teach and assess the outcomes of learning. Making education more focused on practical skills and the use of knowledge in problem solving could ensure a deeper understanding on the part of students. AI could be used for guidance, in much the same way we currently use calculators, to help enrich people’s knowledge. However, risks do exist. In May 2023, for example, a US lawyer admitted using ChatGPT for case research. The lawyer’s filing was found to reference legal cases that didn’t exist. The chatbot had made them up. It’s not the first time that these “AI hallucinations” have been reported. Then we have the very real risk that AI could be used for illegal purposes such as identity theft. For example, criminals could use AI to clone someone’s voice. They could then phone family members and try to convince them to give out sensitive information that could be helpful for accessing bank accounts. A variant of AI-driven identity theft is the use of deepfake videos. However, Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder, sounds less worried than some other executives in Silicon Valley about the risks of artificial intelligence. In a blog post on Tuesday, he wrote, “This is not the first time a major innovation has introduced new threats that had to be controlled. We’ve done it before.” 8. What is a consequence of students’ using ChatGPT? A. Reduced learning time. B. Improved academic performance. C. A lack of learning process. D. Health issues. 9. What might be an example of AI hallucinations? A. Reproducing real events. B. Recommending irrelevant information. C. Providing incorrect recommendations. D. Generating non-existent legal cases. 10. What’s paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Identity theft through AI techniques. B. Cloning someone’s voice using AI. C The potential dangers of AI for illegal purposes. D. Deepfake videos as a form of AI-driven identity theft. 11. What attitude does Bill Gates have to the side effects of AI? A. He doesn’t care about them. B. He thinks them controllable. C. He takes them very seriously. D. He doubts their occurrence. D Daphne Soares, a biologist, made an amazing discovery about alligators (短吻鳄). The investigation of the sensory dots of alligators began when she was at university. Now she holds a research position at the University of Maryland. The first time Daphne Soares got really close to an alligator was when she was helping to hold down an eight-foot alligator. When she got close to the alligator, she noticed that its face was covered with little black spots. She started her study of the black dots when she went to the library. When she read the books and the scientific journals, she learned that people had noticed the dots. People thought that the dots were some kind of sense organ. However, no one really knew what the dots were for. It was a complete accident when she found out what the dots were used for. She placed electrodes (电极) on nerves coming from some of the sensory dots. When the nerves were stimulated, they created a tiny electric current. Just then she heard a small sound over a audio speaker. She tried to see if the dots acted like eyes and temperature sensors, but nothing worked. One day she accidentally dropped a tool into an alligator’s tank. When she put her hand in the tank to get the tool out, she made small ripples (涟漪) in the water. When the ripples reached the alligator’s face, she heard a noise over the speaker. She then realized that the dots must be sensitive to the changes in pressure when they were hit by ripples of water. After that, she is now studying blind cavefish. She is trying to learn whether they are blind from birth or lose their sight as they grow up. 12. What was Daphne Soares doing when she noticed the black dots? A. Studying the sense organ. B. Helping to keep a hold of an alligator. C. Observing an alligator in a pond. D. Reading scientific journal in the library. 13. What did Daphne Soares do in order to find out the use of the black dots? A. She collected data online. B. She did some field observations. C. She sought help from professionals. D. She did some scientific experiments. 14. Which sense are the black dots on the alligator’s face related to? A. The sense of feeling. B. The sense of sight. C. The sense of taste. D. The sense of hearing. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. A Born Biologist B. The Types of Alligators C. A Discovery About Alligators D. Daphne Soares’ Stories 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We watch our salt and fat intake to protect our hearts. We exercise and take calcium to protect our bones.

For lots of vitamin C, grab strawberries, tomatoes, red and green peppers, and broccoli. For vitamin E, choose peanuts, almonds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin.

It can lead to infections.” Instead, “take medication or use drops.” Contact a specialist Finally, don’t forget to see an eye specialist for a checkup. ____20____, and all are best treated when found early.
