On March 14, GPT-4 showed the world how smarter it is than the previous GPT-3.5. One of its best new functions (功能) is that it can understand pictures. For example, if you show a picture of a phone using the wrong charger (充电器), GPT-4 can tell why the picture looks strange or funny. But GPT-4’s developments don’t stop there. The new language model can code (用代码编写) classic games in a few minutes, and produce the code and layout for a website based on a hand-made drawing. It can also change the tone (语气) and style based on what you ask it to do. GPT-4 is much better than the older GPT at passing tests, which may worry teachers. According to CNN, GPT-4 did really well on a law school test, with a score in the top 10 percent of test takers. But GPT-3.5 only got a score in the bottom 10 percent. GPT-4 will also power other apps and services. For example, the language learning app Duolingo plans to use GPT-4 in its new Duolingo Max function. Users can learn language by talking with AI. Another app, Be My Eyes, will have a digital helper to help blind people better understand the world around them. The government of Iceland also plans to use GPT-4to protect the Icelandic language. 8. What is GPT-4? A. A language model. B. A popular company. C. A new website. 9. What can GPT-4 do according to the text? ① Tell why the picture looks strange. ② Code classic games in a few minutes. ③ Produce a hand-made drawing. ④ Change the tone by itself. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ②③④ 10. Which of the following is NOT TRUE? A. GPT-3.5 can’t understand pictures. B. GPT-4 will take the place of teachers. C. GPT-4 powers other apps and services. 11. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To encourage people to use more apps. B. To discuss the different problems of GPT-4. C. To show the function and influence of GPT-4. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一款名为GPT-4的语言模型。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Open AI, the company behind the popular chatbot, has now introduced a powerful new language model: GPT-4.”可知，GPT-4是一种语言模型，故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据“One of its best new functions is that it can understand pictures.”，“The new language model can code classic games in a few minutes, and produce the code and layout for a website based on a hand-made drawing.”以及“It can also change the tone and style based on what you ask it to do.”可知，GPT-4可以理解图片、为经典游戏编写代码、根据手工绘图为网站生成代码和布局、改变语气和风格，故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据“GPT-4 is much better than the older GPT at passing tests, which may worry teachers.”可知，GPT-4在考试中表现优异，可能会让老师担心，但并未提到GPT-4将取代老师，故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了GPT-4的功能及其在不同领域的应用，目的是展示GPT-4的功能和影响，故选C。 第二节(共4小题，每小题2分，满分8分) 阅读短文D，根据短文内容，从文后方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 D Do you think doing chores is an interesting thing?

The final book in the British writer J.K. Rowling’s famous series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was published seventeen years ago. But the wizard’s (巫师的) magical world is still very much alive. Why is Rowling’s magical world still loved by people? “Because of the magical fantasy world, it doesn’t date.” Jana Mathews, an English professor at Rollins College in the US, told the newspaper Orlando Sentinel. But the series is about more than waving wands (魔杖). It is also about personal growth. As a wizard, Potter is not very talented. The boy’s will to see things through to the end makes him different. When Potter decides to face his enemy Lord Voldemort alone, he trusts his friends to destroy parts of Voldemort’s soul. It shows “all real, non-magical, human qualities”, the Reacho website commented. People also love the books’ popular wizard game, Quidditch, which is played on flying broomsticks. “Rowling not only invented a playable and completely believable sport, but she involves her readers in Quidditch players’ struggles,” the US James Madison University website commented. These players’ love of winning attracts the attention not only of the audience (观众) in the stories, but of the reading audience as well, it said. 书中的世界使它更受欢迎。The magical world has different levels of society and criminals. Far from being “unreal”, it lets readers know about the family backgrounds and financial problems that affect the wizarding community. After all, few books can show these realities while still keeping the innocence of children and continuing to be an interesting read. 36. When was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows published? _____________________________________________________ 37. What makes Harry Potter different? _____________________________________________________ 38. What is Quidditch? _____________________________________________________ 39. 将划线部分翻译成中文 _____________________________________________________ 40. 将划线部分翻译成英文。 ______________________________________________________ 【答案】36. Seventeen years ago. 37. The boy’s will to see things through to the end makes him different.  38. It’s a popular wizard game which is played on flying broomsticks.  39. 为什么罗琳的魔法世界依然受到人们的喜爱？ 40. The world in the book makes it more popular. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了《哈利·波特》系列小说及其魔法世界至今仍受人们喜爱的原因。 【36题详解】 根据文章第2段“The final book in the British writer J.K. Rowling’s famous series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was published seventeen years ago. ”可知，该系列的最后一本书《哈利·波特与死亡圣器》是17年前出版的。故填Seventeen years ago. 【37题详解】 根据文章第4段“The boy’s will to see things through to the end makes him different.”可知，这个男孩坚持到底的意志使他与众不同。故填The boy’s will to see things through to the end makes him different.  【38题详解】 根据文章第5段“People also love the books’ popular wizard game, Quidditch, which is played on flying broomsticks”可知，书中流行的巫师游戏魁地奇，这是一种骑着飞天扫帚进行的比赛。故填It’s a popular wizard game which is played on flying broomsticks.  【39题详解】 分子句子可知，为特殊疑问句。Why“为什么”；is是，谓语； Rowling’s“罗琳的”，名词性物主代词；magical“魔法的”，作定语；world“世界”，作主语；still“依然”；loved“被热爱”；by“被”；people“人们”，作宾语。故填：为什么罗琳的魔法世界依然受到人们的喜爱？ 【40题详解】 “The”，定冠词，句首且首字母大写；“world”意为“世界”，作主语；“in the book”意为“在这本书中”，作后置定语；“makes”意为“使得”，谓语；“it”意为“它”，作宾语；“more popular”意为“更受欢迎”，形容词比较级，作宾补。故填The world in the book makes it more popular. 第二节书面表达。 (满分15分) 41. 曾子曰：“吾日三省吾身：为人谋而不忠乎？与朋友交而不信乎？传不习乎？”习近平总书记在演讲中多次引用这句话，告诫青少年要勇于面对自己的缺点，在学习中求真务实。怎样成为更好的自己？请你根据以下内容提示，以“How to be a better teenager?”为题，用英语写一篇演讲稿，在毕业典礼上发言。 内容提示：1.养成健康的生活习惯。 2.学习有计划、有行动。 3.友善待人。 4.培养良好的兴趣爱好，参加志愿活动。 写作要求：1.内容必须包括所给要点，并适当发挥一至两点。 2.语句通顺，语法正确，书写规范。 3.文中不能出现考生的真实姓名、校名和地名。 4.不少于 90 词。（开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数）。 参考词汇：培养爱好 take up hobbies 志愿活动 volunteer activity How to be a better teenager?

Awakening of Insects falls on March 5 this year. Its name suggests that animals sleeping in winter are awake and the earth begins to come back to life. During this period, most parts of China experience the rise in temperatures and the increasing rainfall. It is widely seen as the beginning of the busiest time for agricultural work. There is a folk custom of “eating pears after Awakening of Insects”, which can relieve (缓解) the discomfort caused by the changeable weather such as cold and cough. The Spring Equinox, as the fourth term of the year falls on March 20 this year. On this day, the day time lasts 12 hours which is the same as the night time. Eating spring vegetables during the Spring Equinox is a common custom in many parts of China. “Spring vegetables” means seasonal vegetables that are different from place to place. People believe that eating seasonal food helps keep healthy and bring good luck. Clear and Bright falls on April 4 this year. It is not only one of China’s 24 solar terms, but also a traditional Chinese festival, in which period Chinese people respect nature and honor the ancestors. The custom can be traced to ancient times and still matters a lot in modern society. Qingtuan is a kind of round green cake. People add the juice of barnyard grass (艾草) to make the cakes. Qingtuan has a smooth taste and the special juice is good for our health. 4. What does the underlined word agricultural mean in Chinese? A. 农业的 B. 工业的 C. 商业的 5. When is the Spring Equinox this year?

C Open AI, the company behind the popular chatbot, has now introduced a powerful new language model: GPT-4. On March 14, GPT-4 showed the world how smarter it is than the previous GPT-3.5. One of its best new functions (功能) is that it can understand pictures. For example, if you show a picture of a phone using the wrong charger (充电器), GPT-4 can tell why the picture looks strange or funny. But GPT-4’s developments don’t stop there. The new language model can code (用代码编写) classic games in a few minutes, and produce the code and layout for a website based on a hand-made drawing. It can also change the tone (语气) and style based on what you ask it to do. GPT-4 is much better than the older GPT at passing tests, which may worry teachers. According to CNN, GPT-4 did really well on a law school test, with a score in the top 10 percent of test takers. But GPT-3.5 only got a score in the bottom 10 percent. GPT-4 will also power other apps and services. For example, the language learning app Duolingo plans to use GPT-4 in its new Duolingo Max function. Users can learn language by talking with AI. Another app, Be My Eyes, will have a digital helper to help blind people better understand the world around them. The government of Iceland also plans to use GPT-4to protect the Icelandic language. 8. What is GPT-4? A. A language model. B. A popular company. C. A new website. 9. What can GPT-4 do according to the text? ① Tell why the picture looks strange. ② Code classic games in a few minutes. ③ Produce a hand-made drawing. ④ Change the tone by itself. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ②③④ 10. Which of the following is NOT TRUE? A. GPT-3.5 can’t understand pictures. B. GPT-4 will take the place of teachers. C. GPT-4 powers other apps and services. 11. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To encourage people to use more apps. B. To discuss the different problems of GPT-4. C. To show the function and influence of GPT-4. 第二节(共4小题，每小题2分，满分8分) 阅读短文D，根据短文内容，从文后方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 D Do you think doing chores is an interesting thing?

The final book in the British writer J.K. Rowling’s famous series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was published seventeen years ago. But the wizard’s (巫师的) magical world is still very much alive. Why is Rowling’s magical world still loved by people? “Because of the magical fantasy world, it doesn’t date.” Jana Mathews, an English professor at Rollins College in the US, told the newspaper Orlando Sentinel. But the series is about more than waving wands (魔杖). It is also about personal growth. As a wizard, Potter is not very talented. The boy’s will to see things through to the end makes him different. When Potter decides to face his enemy Lord Voldemort alone, he trusts his friends to destroy parts of Voldemort’s soul. It shows “all real, non-magical, human qualities”, the Reacho website commented. People also love the books’ popular wizard game, Quidditch, which is played on flying broomsticks. “Rowling not only invented a playable and completely believable sport, but she involves her readers in Quidditch players’ struggles,” the US James Madison University website commented. These players’ love of winning attracts the attention not only of the audience (观众) in the stories, but of the reading audience as well, it said. 书中的世界使它更受欢迎。The magical world has different levels of society and criminals. Far from being “unreal”, it lets readers know about the family backgrounds and financial problems that affect the wizarding community. After all few books can show these realities while still keeping the innocence of children and continuing to be an interesting read. 36.
