M: When I was a little boy, I loved the night sky. I remember I looked up at the stars in the sky and asked — how many are there? How far away are they? Can we visit them? I became an astronomer because I was amazed by their beauty. But now in most big cities, kids can’t see the stars like I did.
W: So have you already come up with a solution to this problem?
M: Yeah. Actually, there is a method that is inexpensive and has immediate benefits. If we shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky and use lower brightness levels, we can preserve the beauty of the night sky.

【原文】M: Elena, who had a great influence on your career?
W: I would say it’s my father. He began to run soccer schools when I was a teenager, so I played soccer with my brother and his friends. But a life in the game was not my plan, so after graduation, I took a job writing technical instructions. It was my first job.
M: What was that like?
W: It paid well but was not very interesting. So when offered a coaching role, I seized it.
M: Did you have to overcome any challenges to get where you are today?
W: Well, where to start... I enjoyed a successful college life. Then I progressed through the college system to become an assistant coach to the national team. I’ve encountered a lot of challenges through the ups and downs of being a coach. It’s particularly hard to face the doubts after losing games.
M: What achievement are you most proud of?
W: I’m most proud of helping my team to win all the last seven matches in Italy and Brazil.
M: What are you planning to do next?
W: I’ll take on another challenge, possibly coaching in England.

【解析】
【原文】W: Good morning, everyone. I’m Monica from Canada, and I’ll teach you English writing this term. Before we start, I’d like to take a few minutes to let you know something about me. When I was small, I enjoyed spending my summers reading storybooks instead of playing baseball or taking dance lessons. After I went to school, I took reading time seriously. Once I tied one end of a string around a book and the other end around my waist, climbed a tree, and sat in the branches reading until dinnertime. In college, I thought I might major in journalism or history, but when I took my first literature class, I was deeply attracted to it. The calling to be an English major was in my heart, and I couldn’t imagine spending my study hours without Shakespeare, Chaucer, or Lewis by my side. I learned the art of making connections between literature and life and developed a love for writing. After graduation, I taught English in a primary school in Canada for five years. Then I went to Australia and worked as a book editor. Three years ago, I came to China. I’ve been teaching English in middle schools. I love my job, and I’m thankful for the gift of words, for the life, connection, beauty, and learning that come from language.

第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
A Selection of Museums and Attractions in Washington DC
The Tidal Basin
The basin, part of the West Potomac Park, is surrounded by a path that’s perfect for walking, running or cycling. The memorials to Thomas Jefferson and Martin Luther King Junior are two highlights surrounding the lake. It is the location most associated with Washington’s Cherry Blossom (樱花) Festival that takes place each spring.
National Museum of African American History and Culture
The museum opened in late 2016 after more than a decade of planning. It is dedicated to African American history and culture and is organized like a vertical timeline, starting with the Atlantic slave trade on the 1400s and moving up to the 21st century. Higher up are exhibitions on African American music, theatre and art. It’s a powerful experience and also very popular: you’ll have to apply for a timed ticket to enter.
The Newseum
Further along Pennsylvania Avenue is the Newseum, loved for the 800 newspaper front pages from around the world that are hung outside every morning. Inside, there are moving exhibits showing how important historical events have been reported, such as the September 11 attacks. Alongside newspaper pages from the day after the attacks, there’s a video exhibit highlighting the work of journalists reporting on the Twin Towers falling. A must if you’re interested in journalism.
National Gallery of Art
The art gallery is an impressive space: two buildings linked underground, and a sculpture garden next door. Inside the light-filed East Building there’s modern art, including a roomful of Jackson Pollock’s murals (壁), Andy Warhol’s Green Marilyn and Roy Lichtenstein’s Look Mickey.
The classical West Building tends to house older artwork: the European impressionists and Italian Renaissance art (from artists including Da Vinci and Raphael) are two highlights.
21. Which of the following requires reserving a ticket in advance?
A. The Newseum.
B The Tidal Basin.
C. National Gallery of Art.

【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It’s a powerful experience and also very popular: you’ll have to apply for a timed ticket to enter.”(这是一次强烈的体验,也非常受欢迎:你必须申请一个定时的票才能进入。)可知,需要提前预订票的是非洲美洲历史文化博物馆。故选D。
【22题详解】

B
Two days after Alice Munro died, I went to an event in New York and found myself among strangers. A woman asked me if I’d heard that the great “Janet Munro” had died. Janet? The confusion was cleared up, and another woman told me that Munro wrote only stories, not novels. Next came the usual question, which people often ask of someone who writes novels and stories: “Which is easier for you?”
Easy? That’s an adjective that I’ve never connected with literature. I felt uneasy, thinking that these people might only know Munro for her fame. For a moment I wanted to ask about their favorite Munro story, but I did not. Because I wouldn’t have known the answer, either.
I first read Munro in my late 20s. Over the years I have become a revisitor of her writing. And between the revisits life kept changing: marriage, different jobs, giving birth to and parenting two children, losing them six years apart, and now, still feeling sad. I last read Munro in the summer of 2022, on a family holiday near Lake Geneva. I had lost one child then; I did not yet know what was to come. I clearly remember the moment I underlined a sentence when a pair of swans moved effortlessly past me: “She doesn’t mistake that for reality, and neither does she mistake anything else for reality, and that is how she knows that she is reasonable.” The sentence reflected my emotions and touched me deeply.
Rereading the passage today, I can’t say I am more clear-headed than I was then. Only, I’ve come further in life, with new knowledge about what is called reality.
Stories, at least the kind Munro had written in her career that lasted more than 40 years, are life itself. Rereading Munro is demanding — it asks the readers not to shy away from life; rewarding, too, as I am certain many of Munro’s readers will agree.
24. What does the author think of the people at the event?
A. They focused on Munro’s novels. B. They were professionals in literature.
C. They knew a lot about Munro’s life. D. They hadn’t read Munro’s works deeply.
25. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The themes in Munro’s writing. B. Munro’s influence on other writers.
C. The author’s favorite Munro story. D. The author’s personal reading journey.
26. Why did the author underline the sentence about reality?
A. It mirrored her feelings. B. It was a famous saying.
C. It was the only part she liked. D. It inspired her to reread it.
27. What is the author’s attitude towards Munro’s stories?
A. Uncertain. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Appreciative.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在Alice Munro去世后参加纽约的一次活动,发现人们对Munro的了解仅限于她的名声,而非深入阅读她的作品。作者回顾了自己阅读Munro作品的经历,以及这些作品如何陪伴并影响了自己的人生。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“I felt uneasy, thinking that these people might only know Munro for her fame.(我感到不安,心想这些人可能只是因为她的名气才知道门罗)”可知,作者认为这些人知道门罗是因为门罗的名气,而不是因为门罗的作品。由此推知,作者认为这些人并没有深入阅读门罗的作品。故选D项。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“I first read Munro in my late 20s. Over the years I have become a revisitor of her writing. And between the revisits life kept changing: marriage, different jobs, giving birth to and parenting two children, losing them six years apart, and now, still feeling sad. I last read Munro in the summer of 2022, on a family holiday near Lake Geneva. I had lost one child then; I did not yet know what was to come. I clearly remember the moment I underlined a sentence when a pair of swans moved effortlessly past me: “She doesn’t mistake that for reality, and neither does she mistake anything else for reality, and that is how she knows that she is reasonable.” The sentence reflected my emotions and touched me deeply.(我第一次读门罗的作品是在二十多岁快结束时。这些年来,我一再重读她的作品。而在这些重读之间,我的生活不断发生变化:结婚、换工作、生养两个孩子、在六年内先后失去他们,直到现在,我仍然感到悲伤。我最后一次读门罗的作品是在2022年夏天,那时我们全家在日内瓦湖附近度假。当时我已经失去了一个孩子,但我还不知道接下来会发生什么。我清楚地记得,当一对天鹅轻松地游过我身旁时,我划下了一句话:“她没有把这当成现实,也没有把其他任何东西当成现实,这就是她知道自己是理智的原因。”这句话反映了我的情绪,深深地触动了我)”可知,本段主要讲述了作者自己阅读门罗作品的经历以及这些作品对自己生活的影响,讲述了作者的个人阅读之旅。故选D项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“I clearly remember the moment I underlined a sentence when a pair of swans moved effortlessly past me: “She doesn’t mistake that for reality, and neither does she mistake anything else for reality, and that is how she knows that she is reasonable.” The sentence reflected my emotions and touched me deeply.(我清楚地记得,当一对天鹅轻松地游过我身旁时,我划下了一句话:“她没有把这当成现实,也没有把其他任何东西当成现实,这就是她知道自己是理智的原因。”这句话反映了我的情绪,深深地触动了我)”可知,作者划线的原因是这句话反映了她的感受,深深地触动了她。故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Rereading the passage today, I can’t say I am more clear-headed than I was then. Only, I’ve come further in life, with new knowledge about what is called reality.(今天重读这篇文章,我不能说我的头脑比那时更清醒了。只是,我在生活中走得更远,对所谓的现实有了新的认识)”和最后一段中“Rereading Munro is demanding — it asks the readers not to shy away from life; rewarding, too, as I am certain many of Munro’s readers will agree.(重读门罗的作品是要求很高的——它要求读者不要逃避生活;同时也是很有回报的,我相信门罗的许多读者都会同意这一点)”可知,作者认为门罗的作品能带给自己新的认知,能带来很高的回报,这说明作者对门罗的作品持欣赏的态度。故选D项。
C
When the company OpenAI developed its new artificial intelligence (AI) program, ChatGPT, in late 2022, educators began to worry. ChatGPT could create text that seemed like a human wrote it. How could teachers discover whether students were using language created by an AI chatbot to cheat on a writing task?
As a linguist who studies the effects of technology on how people read, write and think, I believe there are other more pressing concerns besides cheating. These include whether AI, more generally, threatens student writing skills, the value of writing as a process, and the importance of regarding writing as a tool for thinking.
As part of my research on the effects of AI on human writing, I surveyed young adults in the U.S. about some issues related to those effects. One participant said that at some point if you depend on predictive text, you’re going to lose your spelling abilities. Enter “Was Rom” into a Google search and you’re given a list of choices like “Was Rome built in a day”. Type “ple” into a text message and you’re offered “please” and “plenty”. These tools complete our sentences automatically, giving us little chance to think about our spelling, and continuously asking us to follow their suggestions.
Evan Selinger, a philosopher, worried that predictive texting reduces the power of writing as a form of mental activity and personal expression. “By encouraging us not to think too deeply about our words, predictive technology may change how we deal with each other,” Selinger wrote. “We give others more algorithms (算法) and less of ourselves. Automation can stop us thinking and the resulting text didn’t feel like mine anymore.”
I asked ChatGPT whether it was a threat to humans’ motivation to write. The bot responded: “There will always be a demand for creative, original content that requires the unique viewpoint of a human writer.” It continued: “Writing serves many purposes beyond just the creation of content, such as self-expression, communication, and personal growth, which can continue to encourage people to write even if certain types of writing can be automated.”
I was glad to find the program had seemingly admitted its limitations.
28. What is the author’s main concern about ChatGPT?
A. Whether it will lead to students’ cheating.
B. Whether it will shape students’ writing style.
C. How students will make use of it at school.
D. What effects it will have on students’ writing.
29. What will predictive technology do to us according to Evan Selinger?
A. Give us more creative ideas. B. Make us write like a machine.
C. Encourage us to think more deeply. D. Make us tend to ignore grammatical mistakes.
30. What can we learn from ChatGPT’s response?
A. Writing will become completely automated. B. Robots will work with humans in writing.
C Robot writing will become more creative. D. Human writing will still matter a lot.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. What impact will AI bring to writing? B. What is the future of modern literature?
C. How to improve writing with AI’s help? D. How to apply AI technology to education?
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“人工智能给写作带来什么影响——ChatGPT如何剥夺学生自主写作和思考的动力”。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“These include whether AI, more generally, threatens student writing skills, the value of writing as a process, and the importance of regarding writing as a tool for thinking.(这些问题包括,更普遍地说,人工智能是否威胁到学生的写作技能,写作作为一个过程的价值,以及将写作视为思维工具的重要性)”可知,作者比较关心人工智能会给学生的写作带来的影响。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根文章第三段“Evan Selinger, a philosopher, worried that predictive texting reduces the power of writing as a form of mental activity and personal expression.“By encouraging us not to think too deeply about our words, predictive technology may change how we deal with each other,” Selinger wrote. ”(哲学家Evan Selinger担心,预测性短信会削弱写作作为一种心理活动和个人表达形式的力量。“通过鼓励我们不要太深入地思考自己的言语,预测技术可能会改变我们处理彼此的方式,”Selinger写道)”可知,预测性的写作会削弱人类自我思考,只是像一个机器一样写作。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“There will always be a demand for creative, original content that requires the unique viewpoint of a human writer.(对创造性、原创内容的需求总是需要人类作家的独特观点)”可知,创造性和原创性的内容还是需要人类作家的输出。由此可以推测,人类作家对于写作来说任然具有重要性。由此推知,人类写作仍然非常重要。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“ChatGPT could create text that seemed like a human wrote it. How could teachers discover whether students were using language created by an AI chatbot to cheat on a writing task?(ChatGPT可以创建看起来像是人类写的文本。教师如何发现学生是否使用人工智能聊天机器人创建的语言在写作任务中作弊?)”可知,本主要介绍ChatGPT对于写作产生的影响。由此可知,A项“人工智能将给写作带来什么影响?”适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。
D
First impressions can set a lasting tone, but there is often something doubtful. Psychologists have documented a phenomenon known as the liking gap, whereby two people meeting for the first time routinely underestimate how much their counterparts (对应方) like them. A new study finds that the liking gap occurs in group settings too and affects how well groups function.
In one experiment, the researchers divided 159 participants into groups of three and asked them to have a conversation. They then surveyed the participants individually about how much they liked each of their partners, how much they thought each partner liked them, and how much they thought their partners liked each other. On average, people liked their partners more than they believed their partners liked them, and thought themselves to be the least liked in the group.
In a subsequent experiment, the researchers asked similar questions of engineering students who had worked together in design competitions for varying lengths of time. Here, too, people tended to underestimate the degree to which they were liked, regardless of how long they had known their teammates — and their dim views of their own likability reduced their willingness to ask others for help, give honest feedback, and work together in the future.
A final experiment involving a broad sample of workers showed that the misperceptions (误解) were strongest among teammates and that they decreased team effectiveness and job satisfaction. It also found a possible explanation for the liking gap: People tend to focus on positive thoughts when reflecting on how much they like someone else (“I’m happy that she got a promotion”) but fall victim to more negative ones when considering how others view them (“I got a promotion, so she might be green with envy”).
Managers should think carefully not just about how teammates regard one another but about how team members think they themselves are regarded, the researchers say; correcting misperceptions could boost team satisfaction and performance. “If only people knew how positively their teammates actually felt about them, they might communicate better, feel more included on their teams, and be happier overall with their jobs,” they write.
32. What does the liking gap refer to?
A. A type of social anxiety disorder. B. Love among different age groups.
C. Misjudging others’ opinions of us. D. Holding back others’ evaluations.
33. What did the experiment in paragraph 2 reveal?
A. People did not like to give honest comments.
B. People tended to think little of their partners.
C. People were quite demanding towards others.
D. People were not very confident about themselves.
34. What does the underlined word “dim” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Conflicting. B. Negative. C. Conventional. D. Strong.
35. What do the researchers suggest managers stress?
A. Employees’ viewpoints on themselves.
B. The relationship between team members.
C. Employee promotion and job satisfaction.
D. Communication between leaders and employees.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。两个人第一次见面时,通常会低估对方对自己的喜欢程度。一项新的研究发现,喜欢的差距也发生在群体环境中,并影响群体的功能。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Psychologists have documented a phenomenon known as the liking gap, whereby two people meeting for the first time routinely underestimate how much their counterparts (对应方) like them.(心理学家记录了一种被称为“喜欢差距”的现象,即两个人第一次见面时,通常会低估对方对自己的喜欢程度。)”可知,“喜欢差距”指的是误判别人对我们的看法。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“On average, people liked their partners more than they believed their partners liked them, and thought themselves to be the least liked in the group.(平均而言,人们更喜欢他们的伴侣,而不是他们认为他们的伴侣喜欢他们,并认为自己是最不喜欢的组。)”可知,实验表明人们不认为他们的伴侣喜欢他们,而且他们认为自己是最不喜欢的组,由此可推知,人们对自己不是很自信。故选D。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线单词上文“people tended to underestimate the degree to which they were liked, regardless of how long they had known their teammates(不管认识队友多久,人们也倾向于低估自己被喜欢的程度,)”可知,不管认识队友多久,人们也倾向于低估自己被喜欢的程度,这说明他们对自己的可爱程度持有消极的看法,由此可推知划线单词dim意为“消极的,悲观的”,故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Managers should think carefully not just about how teammates regard one another but about how team members think they themselves are regarded, the researchers say; correcting misperceptions could boost team satisfaction and performance. (研究人员说,管理者不仅应该仔细考虑队友如何看待彼此,还应该考虑队友如何看待他们自己;纠正误解可以提高团队的满意度和绩效。)”可推知,研究人员建议管理者不仅应该仔细考虑队友如何看待彼此,还应该考虑队友如何看待他们自己,即强调员工对自己的看法。故选A。

67. 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。
It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.”
I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.
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.
We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. I said gently and quietly, “No one can change your mind, except yourself. If you desire to challenge yourself, there is nothing to do with others’ thoughts.” He sat still with a deep breath. “You have a full preparation before this event, which is the most important reason why you show up here”, I added with a sincere tone. Hearing my words, David turned to me tremblingly with tears spilling out of his eyes and expressed he had made a firm determination to finish the cross-country run. His coach heard what David said and gave me a look—the kind that was more determined than anyone else’s.
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. It seemed that the runway was extremely long for young children, not to mention a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses, though he was tripped over within the a few kilometers. It didn’t take long before he picked himself up again and continued his mission. Classmates all appeared on the racing track, cheering for him. “Come on! You can make it! We are proud of you!” they shouted enthusiastically. To everyone’s joy, he reached the final line and ranked the 20th. It was no more important whether he won the first place or not. It was his brave heart and strong faith that could make something unusual happen finally.

A Selection of Museums and Attractions in Washington DC
The Tidal Basin
The basin, part of the West Potomac Park, is surrounded by a path that’s perfect for walking, running or cycling. The memorials to Thomas Jefferson and Martin Luther King Junior are two highlights surrounding the lake. It is the location most associated with Washington’s Cherry Blossom (樱花) Festival that takes place each spring.
National Museum of African American History and Culture
The museum opened in late 2016 after more than a decade of planning. It is dedicated to African American history and culture and is organized like a vertical timeline, starting with the Atlantic slave trade on the 1400s and moving up to the 21st century. Higher up are exhibitions on African American music, theatre and art. It’s a powerful experience and also very popular: you’ll have to apply for a timed ticket to enter.
The Newseum
Further along Pennsylvania Avenue is the Newseum, loved for the 800 newspaper front pages from around the world that are hung outside every morning. Inside, there are moving exhibits showing how important historical events have been reported, such as the September 11 attacks. Alongside newspaper pages from the day after the attacks, there’s a video exhibit highlighting the work of journalists reporting on the Twin Towers falling. A must if you’re interested in journalism.
National Gallery of Art
The art gallery is an impressive space: two buildings, linked underground, and a sculpture garden next door. Inside the light-filed East Building there’s modern art, including a roomful of Jackson Pollock’s murals (壁), Andy Warhol’s Green Marilyn and Roy Lichtenstein’s Look Mickey.
The classical West Building tends to house older artwork: the European impressionists and Italian Renaissance art (from artists including Da Vinci and Raphael) are two highlights.
21. Which of the following requires reserving a ticket in advance?
A. The Newseum.
B. The Tidal Basin.
C. National Gallery of Art.
D. National Museum of African American History and Culture.
22. What can visitors do at the Newseum?
A. Learn about the stories about news.
B. Learn how to report important events.
C. Talk with journalists about the 9/11 attacks.
D. Read 800 recently published newspapers.
23. Why is Green Marilyn exhibited in the East Building?
A. It’s a painting of modern art.
B. It is a painting of traditional art.
C. It is a painting by a famous artist.
D. It is a priceless painting of the gallery.
B
Two days after Alice Munro died, I went to an event in New York and found myself among strangers. A woman asked me if I’d heard that the great “Janet Munro” had died. Janet? The confusion was cleared up, and another woman told me that Munro wrote only stories, not novels. Next came the usual question, which people often ask of someone who writes novels and stories: “Which is easier for you?”
Easy? That’s an adjective that I’ve never connected with literature. I felt uneasy, thinking that these people might only know Munro for her fame. For a moment I wanted to ask about their favorite Munro story, but I did not. Because I wouldn’t have known the answer, either.
I first read Munro in my late 20s. Over the years I have become a revisitor of her writing. And between the revisits life kept changing: marriage, different jobs, giving birth to and parenting two children, losing them six years apart, and now, still feeling sad. I last read Munro in the summer of 2022, on a family holiday near Lake Geneva. I had lost one child then; I did not yet know what was to come. I clearly remember the moment I underlined a sentence when a pair of swans moved effortlessly past me: “She doesn’t mistake that for reality, and neither does she mistake anything else for reality, and that is how she knows that she is reasonable.” The sentence reflected my emotions and touched me deeply.
Rereading the passage today, I can’t say I am more clear-headed than I was then. Only, I’ve come further in life, with new knowledge about what is called reality.
Stories, at least the kind Munro had written in her career that lasted more than 40 years, are life itself. Rereading Munro is demanding — it asks the readers not to shy away from life; rewarding, too, as I am certain many of Munro’s readers will agree.

A. They focused on Munro’s novels. B. They were professionals in literature.
C. They knew a lot about Munro’s life. D. They hadn’t read Munro’s works deeply.
25. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The themes in Munro’s writing. B. Munro’s influence on other writers.

C. It was the only part she liked. D. It inspired her to reread it.
27. What is the author’s attitude towards Munro’s stories?
A. Uncertain. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Appreciative.

When the company OpenAI developed its new artificial intelligence (AI) program, ChatGPT, in late 2022, educators began to worry. ChatGPT could create text that seemed like a human wrote it. How could teachers discover whether students were using language created by an AI chatbot to cheat on a writing task?
As a linguist who studies the effects of technology on how people read, write and think, I believe there are other more pressing concerns besides cheating. These include whether AI, more generally, threatens student writing skills, the value of writing as a process, and the importance of regarding writing as a tool for thinking.
As part of my research on the effects of AI on human writing, I surveyed young adults in the U.S. about some issues related to those effects. One participant said that at some point if you depend on predictive text, you’re going to lose your spelling abilities. Enter “Was Rom” into a Google search and you’re given a list of choices like “Was Rome built in a day”. Type “ple” into a text message and you’re offered “please” and “plenty”. These tools complete our sentences automatically, giving us little chance to think about our spelling, and continuously asking us to follow their suggestions.
Evan Selinger, a philosopher, worried that predictive texting reduces the power of writing as a form of mental activity and personal expression. “By encouraging us not to think too deeply about our words, predictive technology may change how we deal with each other,” Selinger wrote. “We give others more algorithms (算法) and less of ourselves. Automation can stop us thinking and the resulting text didn’t feel like mine anymore.”
I asked ChatGPT whether it was a threat to humans’ motivation to write. The bot responded: “There will always be a demand for creative, original content that requires the unique viewpoint of a human writer.” It continued: “Writing serves many purposes beyond just the creation of content, such as self-expression, communication, and personal growth, which can continue to encourage people to write even if certain types of writing can be automated.”
I was glad to find the program had seemingly admitted its limitations.
28. What is the author’s main concern about ChatGPT?
A. Whether it will lead to students’ cheating.
B. Whether it will shape students’ writing style.
C. How students will make use of it at school.
D. What effects it will have on students’ writing.
29. What will predictive technology do to us according to Evan Selinger?
A. Give us more creative ideas. B. Make us write like a machine.
C. Encourage us to think more deeply. D. Make us tend to ignore grammatical mistakes.
30 What can we learn from ChatGPT’s response?
A. Writing will become completely automated. B. Robots will work with humans in writing.
C. Robot writing will become more creative. D. Human writing will still matter a lot.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. What impact will AI bring to writing? B. What is the future of modern literature?
C. How to improve writing with AI’s help? D. How to apply AI technology to education?
D
First impressions can set a lasting tone, but there is often something doubtful. Psychologists have documented a phenomenon known as the liking gap, whereby two people meeting for the first time routinely underestimate how much their counterparts (对应方) like them. A new study finds that the liking gap occurs in group settings too and affects how well groups function.
In one experiment, the researchers divided 159 participants into groups of three and asked them to have a conversation. They then surveyed the participants individually about how much they liked each of their partners, how much they thought each partner liked them, and how much they thought their partners liked each other. On average, people liked their partners more than they believed their partners liked them, and thought themselves to be the least liked in the group.
In a subsequent experiment, the researchers asked similar questions of engineering students who had worked together in design competitions for varying lengths of time. Here, too, people tended to underestimate the degree to which they were liked, regardless of how long they had known their teammates — and their dim views of their own likability reduced their willingness to ask others for help, give honest feedback, and work together in the future.
A final experiment involving a broad sample of workers showed that the misperceptions (误解) were strongest among teammates and that they decreased team effectiveness and job satisfaction. It also found a possible explanation for the liking gap: People tend to focus on positive thoughts when reflecting on how much they like someone else (“I’m happy that she got a promotion”) but fall victim to more negative ones when considering how others view them (“I got a promotion, so she might be green with envy”).
Managers should think carefully not just about how teammates regard one another but about how team members think they themselves are regarded, the researchers say; correcting misperceptions could boost team satisfaction and performance. “If only people knew how positively their teammates actually felt about them, they might communicate better, feel more included on their teams, and be happier overall with their jobs,” they write.
32. What does the liking gap refer to?
A. A type of social anxiety disorder. B. Love among different age groups.
C. Misjudging others’ opinions of us. D. Holding back others’ evaluations.
33. What did the experiment in paragraph 2 reveal?
A. People did not like to give honest comments.
B. People tended to think little of their partners.
C. People were quite demanding towards others.
D. People were not very confident about themselves.
34. What does the underlined word “dim” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Conflicting. B. Negative. C. Conventional. D. Strong.
35. What do the researchers suggest managers stress?
A. Employees’ viewpoints on themselves.
B. The relationship between team members.
C. Employee promotion and job satisfaction.
D. Communication between leaders and employees.

It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.”
I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.
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.
We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners.
