The day is also known in the United States as National Swap Ideas Day. Teddy Bear Day This unofficial holiday is on September 9, a day to bring out all your teddy bears and thank them for the fun times you have had with them, and for all the days and nights they comforted you. Created in the early 20th century, this toy owes its name to American President Theodore Roosevelt, who was lovingly called Teddy by his family and friends, and it’s also become a part of children’s literature. 1.

B Florence Nightingale is widely regarded as the founder of modern nursing. Born into a wealthy upper-class British family, Nightingale was provided with a comprehensive education that included mathematics and languages. However, despite her family’s expectations that she would focus on traditional female pursuits like marriage and motherhood, Nightingale felt drawn to a career in nursing from a young age. Nightingale was deeply moved by the pains of the sick and injured, particularly during the Crimean War (1853-1856). At a time when nursing was not considered a respectable profession for women of her class, she decided to pursue her calling. She faced significant opposition from her family, who believed that nursing was under her social status, but she persevered. In 1854, Nightingale and a team of 38 nurses traveled to the Crimean War front, where conditions in the military hospitals were awful. She immediately set about improving hygiene and sanitation, organizing nursing care, and calling for better treatment of the wounded soldiers. Her tireless efforts and compassionate nursing earned her the nickname “The Lady with the Lamp”, as she was often seen making rounds at night, carrying a lamp to check on the soldiers. Her work significantly reduced the death rate among the wounded soldiers and brought much-needed attention to the terrible conditions of military hospitals. Her actions led to reforms in military healthcare and established the importance of proper nursing care in the treatment of the sick and injured. After the war Nightingale returned to England as a national hero. She used her newfound fame to continue calling for improved healthcare and nursing standards. She published several influential works, including “Notes on Nursing” and “Notes on Hospitals”, which became seminal texts in the field of nursing. In summary, Florence Nightingale’ s life is a testament to the power of determination, compassion, and the ability to effect meaningful change. Her legacy continues to inspire and guide the nursing profession and healthcare reform to this day. 4. Why were Nightingale’s family against her dream of being a nurse? A. They thought the pay of nurses was too low. B. They thought getting married was better for women. C. They thought the work couldn’t match their social status. D. They thought the working environment for nurses was terrible. 5. What did Nightingale do at the Crimean War front? A. She wrote several influential works. B. She treated many wounded soldiers. C. She called for better treatment for common people. D. She improved the conditions in the military hospitals. 6. How did Nightingale use her fame? A. To sell more books. B. To draw attention to healthcare and nursing. C. To prove to her family that her choice was right. D. To attract more women to pursue the nursing career. 7. Which words can best describe Nightingale? A. Responsible and devoted. B. Stubborn but intelligent. C. Wealthy and professional. D. Unfortunate but inspiring. 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 For future humans to survive long periods on Mars, growing food on the planet is a must. It would be too costly and risky to rely upon rocket deliveries to meet the food needs of colonists. With this in mind, scientists are exploring ways to improve space farming. At Wageningen University and Research in the Netherlands, researchers work in a controlled greenhouse. They have identified a way that could improve crop production in factitious Martian soil, with different crops grown together. The method is called “intercropping”, first invented by ancient Maya farmers in what is now Central America. In their experiments, the researchers grew cherry tomatoes, peas and carrots together in small, round containers. Tomatoes grown in this way produced about double the amount of tomatoes grown alone in the same Martian soil. The tomatoes were also bigger. They flowered and matured earlier, gave more fruit per plant and had thicker stems (茎). The quantity of peas and carrots did not increase with intercropping. The crops were grown in Martian regolith, a soil with no organic matter. Created by researchers from the American space agency NASA, it is a near-perfect physical and chemical match to real Martian soil. For now, human bases on Mars are only seen in movies. But NASA, for example, is developing ways to send people to Mars in the 2030s. Intercropping involves growing plants with properties that could help each other grow. The method makes the best use of resources including water and nutrients. The researchers said the tomato plants in intercropping may have benefited from being close to the pea plants. That is because the peas are good at turning nitrogen (氮) from the air, with the help of bacteria introduced into the soil, into an important nutrient. The carrots produced fewer crops from intercropping and the peas had no change. This was probably due to lack of light. Overall, the tomatoes, peas and carrots grew well, though not as well as in Earth soil in the same greenhouse. 12. What does the underlined word “factitious” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Man-made. B. Long-standing. C. Well-known. D. Hard-won. 13. Why may tomatoes grow well among the three plants? A. Because of the role of peas plants in intercropping. B. Because of the soil rich in organic components. C. Because of their adaptation to the environment. D. Because of their little need for sunlight. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the results of this experiment? A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Reserved. D. Optimistic. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Does Life Exist on Mars? B. The Upcoming Journey to Mars C. New Ways Are Explored to Improve Space Agriculture on Mars D. Intercropping: a Traditional Agricultural Cropping Pattern 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。 Managing Conflict with Humour Humour is a powerful tool.

Tap into (发掘) your playful side. ____20____ However, it’s important to point out that you don’t need to be a comedian to use humour to manage conflict.

It can lower the other person’s defenses and put you both in a more positive state of mind. A. Stop humour if faced with trouble. B. Develop a smart sense of humour. C. It is easy to understand some jokes. D. It’s understandable to fear rejection when attempting humour. E. You can be funny about the truth, but hiding the truth isn’t funny. F.

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 For future humans to survive long periods on Mars, growing food on the planet is a must. It would be too costly and risky to rely upon rocket deliveries to meet the food needs of colonists. With this in mind, scientists are exploring ways to improve space farming. At Wageningen University and Research in the Netherlands, researchers work in a controlled greenhouse. They have identified a way that could improve crop production in factitious Martian soil, with different crops grown together. The method is called “intercropping”, first invented by ancient Maya farmers in what is now Central America. In their experiments, the researchers grew cherry tomatoes, peas and carrots together in small, round containers. Tomatoes grown in this way produced about double the amount of tomatoes grown alone in the same Martian soil. The tomatoes were also bigger. They flowered and matured earlier, gave more fruit per plant and had thicker stems (茎). The quantity of peas and carrots did not increase with intercropping. The crops were grown in Martian regolith, a soil with no organic matter. Created by researchers from the American space agency NASA, it is a near-perfect physical and chemical match to real Martian soil. For now, human bases on Mars are only seen in movies. But NASA, for example, is developing ways to send people to Mars in the 2030s. Intercropping involves growing plants with properties that could help each other grow. The method makes the best use of resources including water and nutrients. The researchers said the tomato plants in intercropping may have benefited from being close to the pea plants. That is because the peas are good at turning nitrogen (氮) from the air, with the help of bacteria introduced into the soil, into an important nutrient. The carrots produced fewer crops from intercropping and the peas had no change. This was probably due to lack of light. Overall the tomatoes, peas and carrots grew well, though not as well as in Earth soil in the same greenhouse. 12. What does the underlined word “factitious” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Man-made. B. Long-standing. C. Well-known. D. Hard-won. 13. Why may tomatoes grow well among the three plants? A. Because of the role of peas plants in intercropping. B. Because of the soil rich in organic components. C. Because of their adaptation to the environment. D. Because of their little need for sunlight. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the results of this experiment? A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Reserved. D. Optimistic. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Does Life Exist on Mars? B. The Upcoming Journey to Mars C. New Ways Are Explored to Improve Space Agriculture on Mars D. Intercropping: a Traditional Agricultural Cropping Pattern 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家为了让未来人类能在火星上长期生存，在荷兰瓦赫宁根大学研究在人造火星土壤中通过间作的方法种植农作物，以提高太空农业产量的相关情况。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第五段“The crops were grown in Martian regolith, a soil with no organic matter. Created by researchers from the American space agency NASA, it is a near - perfect physical and chemical match to real Martian soil.(这些作物是在火星风化层中种植的，这是一种没有有机物质的土壤。它是由美国宇航局的研究人员创造的，它的物理和化学成分与真正的火星土壤几乎完美匹配)” 可推知，研究人员是在人造的火星土壤中进行实验，所以 “factitious” 意思是 “人造的”。选项 A（人造的）符合题意，故选 A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段“The researchers said the tomato plants in intercropping may have benefited from being close to the pea plants. That is because the peas are good at turning nitrogen (氮) from the air, with the help of bacteria introduced into the soil, into an important nutrient.(研究人员说，间作中的番茄植株可能受益于靠近豌豆植株。这是因为在土壤中引入的细菌的帮助下，豌豆善于将空气中的氮转化为一种重要的营养物质)” 可知，番茄在三种植物中长得好是因为豌豆在间作中的作用。故选 A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段 “Overall, the tomatoes, peas and carrots grew well, though not as well as in Earth soil in the same greenhouse.(总的来说，西红柿、豌豆和胡萝卜长得很好，尽管不如在同一温室的地球土壤中长得好)” 可推知，作者认为实验结果是积极的，对其持乐观态度。故选 D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容，尤其是第二段“With this in mind, scientists are exploring ways to improve space farming.(考虑到这一点，科学家们正在探索改善太空农业的方法)” 可知，文章主要讲的是探索在火星上改善太空农业的新方法。选项 C“探索在火星上改善太空农业的新方法”为短文的最佳标题。故选 C。 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。 Managing Conflict with Humour Humour is a powerful tool.

Tap into (发掘) your playful side. ____20____ However, it’s important to point out that you don’t need to be a comedian to use humour to manage conflict.
