It’s an early example showing the possibilities and dangers of using artificial intelligence (AI) in film-making, a development that both excites and worries Hollywood. Nelson, an independent visual artist, didn’t use AI for the whole production. He wrote the script himself, and invited actors to record the audio and animators to bring the creatures to life. It would normally take a large group of members six full months to create the kinds of high-quality images (图像) in “Critterz,” its movie director Nelson said. But using OpenAI’s Dall-E, the process went much faster, only one week. Independent film-makers and Hollywood studios have been early users of AI tools, which can create texts, images and videos based on plenty of data. These increasingly advanced products can save time and resources, their supporters say. But the appearance of these tools is causing trepidation. A recent report said AI could have a great influence on the global economy and subject 300 million jobs to automation (自动化). Actors, such as Keanu Reeves, are raising alarm bells, saying the rise of generative AI (such as Dall-E and ChatGPT) is “scary” and could be a way for managers not to pay artists fairly. Many Hollywood studios see this technology as a way to cut costs when making movies. Greg Brockman, the president and co-founder of OpenAI, which makes ChatGPT, has argued that AI will improve cinema, allowing people to have interactive (互动的) experiences with art. He gave the example of the ending of HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” Nelson said, “It’s likely that AI will replace (取代) some jobs in Hollywood while also potentially creating more.” He mentioned the appearance of computer-editing software, and how that replaced more traditional movie-editing jobs and processes. 4. What do we know about the film “Critterz”? A. It was produced by HBO. B. It is the first film to use AI. C. Its images took seven days to make. D. Its script was completely created by AI. 5. What does the underlined word “trepidation” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Concern. B. Justice. C. Curiosity. D. Excitement. 6. Why was “Game of Thrones” mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To explain the functions of AI. B. To show the trouble caused by AI. C. To introduce the company OpenAI. D. To praise the advantages of using AI. 7. What did Nelson think of using AI in film-making? A. It may open up new job opportunities. B. It may improve people’s job performance. C. It may change the development of the computer. D. It may inspire Hollywood to create more movies. C Can a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to making sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis. Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on-time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board. That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews’ efforts. By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don’t need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time. 8. What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Personnel safety. B. Assistance from drones. C. Inspection and repair. D. Construction of infrastructure. 9. What can we learn from the passage? A. The frequency of drones has nothing to do with railway safety. B. Maintenance and design costs can be hugely reduced by using drones. C. Drones cannot offer protection to the rail crews. D. Drones will be able to provide early warnings. 10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of the rail drones? A. Indifferent. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Not mentioned. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways B. How Production of Drones Can Be Expanded C. What Difficulty Drone Development Will Face D. What Faults Can Be Detected with Drones D A new study suggests people might like chatbot-produced poems for their simple and straightforward images, emotions and themes. In a recent experiment, the researchers tasked OpenAI’s ChatGPT with generating poems in the styles of famous poets, then presented 1,634 participants with ten poems — five human-written and five chatbot-generated — and assessed how people rated the poems based on 14 qualities, including rhythm and originality. Interestingly, they tended to rate the AI-generated poems higher on average, suggesting a preference for their straightforwardness and clarity. Why readers seem to prefer AI-generated poetry is not entirely clear, but the researchers’ best guess is that the AI poems may be more appealing because they are relatively straightforward and simple to comprehend. “Emily Dickinson sometimes breaks the expected rhyme scheme (韵律) on purpose,” says Brian Porter, a researcher at the University of Pittsburgh.“But the AI-generated poems in her style never did that once.” Besides, modern readers don’t seem to want to bother themselves to read deep to think critically. Instead, they prefer texts giving them instant answers. “When readers say they prefer AI poetry, they would seem to be showing their frustration when faced with writing that does not yield to their attention,” he adds. While the findings raise concerns about AI potentially replacing human artists and putting them out of work one day, Dorothea Lasky, the only living poet whose writings were included in the experiments, says it’s not necessarily a bad thing that readers enjoyed the AI-generated poems. “Poetry will always be necessary,” Lasky says, “If they read AI poems and like that poem better than a human-generated poem, then that, to me, is beautiful. They have a good experience with a poem, and I don’t care who wrote it. I feel there is room for all poets — even robot poets.” This study provided a platform for the intersection of technology and creativity, prompting reflection on the future of poetry and artistic expression. 12. Why did the researchers conduct the experiment? A. To create a technique. B. To clarify a concept. C. To detail an example. D. To confirm a finding. 13. What does the example of Emily Dickinson imply? A. Robots are more complicated than humans. B. AI meets modern readers’ reading preference. C. Chatbot is trained to write in creative patterns. D. Classic poetry lacks unique charming features. 14. Which belief does Dorothea Lasky have about poetry? A. All flowers bloom together. B. No dish suits all tastes. C. It’s no use crying over spilt milk. D. Time and tide wait for no man. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Will Poets Be Lost in AI Era? B. ChatGPT: a New Advancement C. Fake or Real — a Concern about AI D. ChatGPT or Dickinson, Who Is Better? 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12. 5分。 Reasons to Put on Your Rollerblades and Hit the Pavement Rollerblading (旱冰) is great for building balance, strengthening muscles, and improving mental health.

The seaside was like their second home. At house also, they were a happy family who always laughed and played and had no problems to bother for. One day all of a sudden something terrible happened. A violent tsunami came and took the entire country in its grip. It was a huge natural disaster. Most of the houses were washed away. The cities and towns were flooded with water.

Their life had turned upside down. Oshima could see the sadness visible in her parents' eyes.

But using OpenAI’s Dall-E, the process went much faster, only one week.(电影导演尼尔森说，通常情况下，一大批成员需要整整六个月的时间才能创造出《Critterz》中那种高质量的图像。但使用OpenAI的Dall-E，这个过程要快得多，只需一周。)”可知，正常情况下，像Critterz这样的高清动画片需要大量的工作人员耗费整整半年的时间才能制作完成，但在人工智能技术Dall-E的帮助下，只用了一周的时间即七天的时间就完成了这部动画片的制作。故选C。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“A recent report said AI could have a great influence on the global economy and subject 300 million jobs to automation (自动化). Actors, such as Keanu Reeves, are raising alarm bells, saying the rise of generative AI (such as Dall-E and ChatGPT) is “scary” and could be a way for managers not to pay artists fairly.(最近的一份报告称，人工智能可能对全球经济产生巨大影响，并使3亿个工作岗位自动化。基努·里维斯等演员敲响了警钟，称生成式人工智能(如Dall-E和ChatGPT)的兴起是“可怕的”，可能是经理们不公平支付艺人工资的一种方式。)”可知，本段讲述的是这些AI工具应用后产生的巨大消极影响，引起人们的担心即这些工具的应用兴起是“可怕的”，可能是经理们不公平支付艺人工资的一种方式。由此推断划线词与A选项“Concern.(担心)”为同义词。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段内容“Many Hollywood studios see this technology as a way to cut costs when making movies. Greg Brockman, the president and co-founder of OpenAI, which makes ChatGPT, has argued that AI will improve cinema, allowing people to have interactive (互动的) experiences with art. (许多好莱坞电影公司将这项技术视为降低电影制作成本的一种方式。OpenAI的总裁兼联合创始人格雷格·布罗克曼认为，人工智能将改善电影，让人们拥有与艺术互动的体验。OpenAI制作了ChatGPT。)”可知，Greg Brockman提到电视剧《权利的游戏》(Game of Thrones)的结局是为了论证他的观点：AI让人们与艺术有互动体验，以及降低电影制作的成本，即说明使用AI的好处。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Nelson 所说的话““It’s likely that AI will replace (取代) some jobs in Hollywood while also potentially creating more.” (“人工智能很可能会取代好莱坞的一些工作，同时也有可能创造更多的工作。”)”可知，Nelson认为AI可能会在影视制作业内创造更多的就业机会。故选A。 C Can a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to making sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis. Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on-time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board. That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews’ efforts. By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don’t need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time. 8. What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Personnel safety. B. Assistance from drones. C. Inspection and repair. D. Construction of infrastructure. 9. What can we learn from the passage? A. The frequency of drones has nothing to do with railway safety. B. Maintenance and design costs can be hugely reduced by using drones. C. Drones cannot offer protection to the rail crews. D. Drones will be able to provide early warnings. 10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of the rail drones? A. Indifferent. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Not mentioned. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways B. How Production of Drones Can Be Expanded C. What Difficulty Drone Development Will Face D. What Faults Can Be Detected with Drones 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。应用今天的“空中之眼”的技术，无人机能在保证铁路安全可靠的同时又能帮助铁路运营商每年节省数十亿欧元。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. (据统计，仅欧洲铁路公司每年在铁路维护上的花费就约为200亿欧元，其中包括经常在夜间派遣维修人员检查和维修铁路基础设施)”可知，花在maintenance上的费用是用于“inspect and repair the rail infrastructure (检查和维修铁路基础设施)”。由此可知“That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety”是指大幅节省检修成本和更好地保护铁路人员安全，划线词和 C项：Inspection and repair (检修)含义相近。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. (通过使用最新技术，无人机也可以开始为铁路提供更高价值的服务，在轨道或开关出现故障之前检测出它们可能造成的任何安全问题。)”可知，无人机能够提供早期预警。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to making sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis. (这很可能是应用今天的“空中之眼”技术来确保全球数百万公里的铁路轨道和基础设施全天候安全运行的未来。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了无人机在铁路安全维护等方面的诸多优势，如提高安全性、节省成本、能提前检测故障等，由此可推断作者对铁路无人机的未来持积极态度。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Can a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to making sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis. (一小群无人机能否保证铁路的安全性和可靠性，同时帮助铁路运营商每年节省数十亿欧元？这很可能是应用今天的“空中之眼”技术来确保全球数百万公里的铁路轨道和基础设施全天候安全运行的未来。)”以及后文第二段讲到了使用无人机检查电力线路使无人机应用于铁路线路成为可能；第三段讲到了使用无人机大幅节省维护成本和更好地保护铁路人员安全；第四段讲到了通过使用最新的技术，无人机还可以开始为铁路提供更高的价值，可知文章主要讲述了无人机将如何改变铁路的未来，所以A项“无人机将如何改变铁路的未来”符合文章中心思想，适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。 D A new study suggests people might like chatbot-produced poems for their simple and straightforward images, emotions and themes. In a recent experiment, the researchers tasked OpenAI’s ChatGPT with generating poems in the styles of famous poets, then presented 1,634 participants with ten poems — five human-written and five chatbot-generated — and assessed how people rated the poems based on 14 qualities, including rhythm and originality. Interestingly, they tended to rate the AI-generated poems higher on average, suggesting a preference for their straightforwardness and clarity. Why readers seem to prefer AI-generated poetry is not entirely clear, but the researchers’ best guess is that the AI poems may be more appealing because they are relatively straightforward and simple to comprehend. “Emily Dickinson sometimes breaks the expected rhyme scheme (韵律) on purpose,” says Brian Porter, a researcher at the University of Pittsburgh.“But the AI-generated poems in her style never did that once.” Besides, modern readers don’t seem to want to bother themselves to read deep to think critically. Instead, they prefer texts giving them instant answers. “When readers say they prefer AI poetry, they would seem to be showing their frustration when faced with writing that does not yield to their attention,” he adds. While the findings raise concerns about AI potentially replacing human artists and putting them out of work one day, Dorothea Lasky, the only living poet whose writings were included in the experiments, says it’s not necessarily a bad thing that readers enjoyed the AI-generated poems. “Poetry will always be necessary,” Lasky says, “If they read AI poems and like that poem better than a human-generated poem, then that, to me, is beautiful. They have a good experience with a poem, and I don’t care who wrote it. I feel there is room for all poets — even robot poets.” This study provided a platform for the intersection of technology and creativity, prompting reflection on the future of poetry and artistic expression. 12. Why did the researchers conduct the experiment? A. To create a technique. B. To clarify a concept. C. To detail an example. D. To confirm a finding. 13. What does the example of Emily Dickinson imply? A. Robots are more complicated than humans. B. AI meets modern readers’ reading preference. C. Chatbot is trained to write in creative patterns. D. Classic poetry lacks unique charming features. 14. Which belief does Dorothea Lasky have about poetry? A. All flowers bloom together. B. No dish suits all tastes. C. It’s no use crying over spilt milk. D. Time and tide wait for no man. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Will Poets Be Lost in AI Era? B. ChatGPT: a New Advancement C. Fake or Real — a Concern about AI D. ChatGPT or Dickinson, Who Is Better? 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15.

They have a good experience with a poem, and I don’t care who wrote it. I feel there is room for all poets— even robot poets.”(“诗歌将永远是必要的，”拉斯基说，“如果他们阅读人工智能的诗，并且比人类创作的诗更喜欢那首诗，那么在我看来，这是美丽的。我不在乎是谁写的，只要他们有一段很好的诗歌体验。我觉得所有的诗人都有空间——即使是机器人诗人。”)”可知，Dorothea Lasky认为无论是机器人还是人写诗，只要写出好的诗歌便是好的，由此可推知，她认为诗歌写作应该是百花齐放，故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“A new study suggests people might like chatbot-produced poems for their simple and straightforward images, emotions and themes.(一项新的研究表明，人们可能会喜欢聊天机器人制作的诗歌，因为他们的简单明了的图像，情感和主题。)”可知，文章主要介绍了一项新的研究表明，人们可能会喜欢聊天机器人制作的诗歌，因为他们的简单明了的图像，情感和主题，为此科学家进行了一项研究，由此可知，文章主要探讨了人工智能作的诗和诗人写出的诗，哪个更受欢迎，D项“Chatgpt或Dickinson，谁更好？”能概括文章内容，故选D。 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12. 5分。 Reasons to Put on Your Rollerblades and Hit the Pavement Rollerblading (旱冰) is great for building balance, strengthening muscles, and improving mental health.

Her face was dull and gloomy. She was staring at the setting sun without an expression on her face. But she was not an unhappy child like this always. Six months before, Oshima was a happy child who loved playing at the beach with her brother and sister. Her brother Mittsu used to make sandcastle and Oshima and her sister Osheen collected the sea shells. Her father always shouted, “Come home, it's late”, but they would not listen. The seaside was like their second home. At house also, they were a happy family who always laughed and played and had no problems to bother for. One day all of a sudden something terrible happened. A violent tsunami came and took the entire country in its grip. It was a huge natural disaster. Most of the houses were washed away. The cities and towns were flooded with water. Oshima’s town was near the sea and so the tsunami flooded her town as well. Her house was washed and they lost all their belongings. Her grandmother Midori cried and cried and was totally shocked. She has not seen such destruction in her whole life. They were homeless. Oshima wept and wept and complained that why a violent tsunami hit her city. She was very angry. The government shifted them to a refugee (难民) camp where many families shared the living space. Helicopters dropped food packets and they had to stand in long queues even for drinking water. Their life had turned upside down. Oshima could see the sadness visible in her parents' eyes. Now she did not like the sea at all and always felt that the sea had broken her trust and was very disappointed with the waves. For her the sea was very cruel who had taken her beautiful house away. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day Oshima saw two little children playing in the camp without any trace of sadness on their face. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A new ray of hope filled her spirits, making her cheer up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 One day Oshima saw two little children playing in the camp without any trace of sadness on their face.

She had her family by her side, which was indeed the most important thing for her. A new ray of hope filled her spirits, making her cheer up. She wholeheartedly thanked God for keeping them safe. Oshima had learned a new meaning of satisfaction and the small children taught her a very big lesson in a child's play.
