D. and starting my post-doctor, I had grown more competitive. I pushed myself to be t ho first to generate thrilling results and to publish in high-impact journals. Those who could have been collaborators (合作者) became rivals I hated. But the effect of this competitive character was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for. When I encountered scientific problems, I thought I had to solve them myself instead of asking for help. The pressure became overwhelming. I began to feel alone and lost. I became less and less productive. I emailed my mentors (导师), explaining that I had put myself second and the job first for too long. They told me that I wasn’t the first academic to feel that way, and that I wouldn’t be the last. They agreed that I should take the time I needed to take care of myself. So, with my mentors’ support and an uncertain future, I left. Back home, I spent time with family and friends and opened up about my struggles. At first, I was ashamed. But the more I talked about my demons, the more other people told me about their own. I also started to receive emails from my workmates. After a few lines asking how I was, many expressed worries about how they were managing the stress of academic life. Vulnerable (脆弱的) researchers were poking their heads out of their shells. Our relationships deepened. I began to feel less alone. Three months later, I was prepared to go back to the science that I loved, and I now had a foundation to be more open with my colleagues. I understood that we all struggle sometimes, and that collaboration can be more powerful than competition. With a bit of time, collaboration has replaced competition. Working with others and seeking help doesn’t weaken my value or contributions; it means we can all win. I no longer feel lonely and unhappy. 4. How did the author feel after adopting a competitive approach? A. Empowered and successful. B. Overwhelmed and isolated. C. Motivated and productive. D. Ashamed and annoyed. 5. Why did the writer take a break? A. He was always the last. B. He needed some time to readjust. C. He got serious homesick. D. He failed to care about himself. 6. What does the underlined phrase mean? A. Trying to be open with others. B. Starting to walk out regularly. C. Being more confident in research. D. Tending to be happier than ever. 7. Which can be the most suitable title for the passage? A. From competition to cooperation B. From selfishness to selflessness C. From problems to solutions D. From uncertainty to certainty 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要叙述了作者面对科研竞争，在求学及工作中变得过于好强，导致压力倍增、孤立无援。经过休整并与人沟通后，作者认识到合作的力量，重拾科研热情，不再孤单。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“But the effect of this competitive character was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for. When I encountered scientific problems, I thought I had to solve them myself instead of asking for help. The pressure became overwhelming. I began to feel alone and lost. I became less and less productive. (但这种好胜性格的影响与我所希望的完全相反。当我遇到科学问题时，我认为我必须自己解决，而不是寻求帮助。压力变得势不可挡。我开始感到孤独和失落。我的效率越来越低。)”可知，采取竞争方式后，作者感到不堪重负，孤立无援。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“I emailed my mentors (导师), explaining that I had put myself second and the job first for too long. They told me that I wasn’t the first academic to feel that way, and that I wouldn’t be the last. They agreed that I should take the time I needed to take care of myself. So, with my mentors’ support and an uncertain future, I left. (我给我的导师发了邮件，解释说我把自己放在第二位，把工作放在第一位太久了。他们告诉我，我不是第一个有这种感觉的学者，也不会是最后一个。他们同意我应该花时间照顾好自己。因此，在导师的支持和不确定的未来下，我离开了。)”可知，作者需要休息是因为他需要一些时间来调整。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。由第四段“At first, I was ashamed. But the more I talked about my demons, the more other people told me about their own. I also started to receive emails from my workmates. After a few lines asking how I was, many expressed worries about how they were managing the stress of academic life. (起初，我感到羞愧。但我谈论我的恶魔越多，其他人就越告诉我他们自己的恶魔。我也开始收到同事的电子邮件。在问候了我几句之后，许多人表达了他们对如何应对学术生活压力的担忧。)”可知，脆弱的研究者开始向别人敞开心扉，所以划线部分的意思为“试着对他人坦诚相待，向别人敞开心扉”。A. Trying to be open with others尽量与他人坦诚相待；B. Starting to walk out regularly开始定期外出；C. Being more confident in research对研究更有信心；D. Tending to be happier than ever倾向于比以往任何时候都更快乐。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段“But the effect of this competitive character was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for. When I encountered scientific problems, I thought I had to solve them myself instead of asking for help. The pressure became overwhelming. I began to feel alone and lost. I became less and less productive. (但这种好胜性格的影响与我所希望的完全相反。当我遇到科学问题时，我认为我必须自己解决，而不是寻求帮助。压力变得势不可挡。我开始感到孤独和失落。我的效率越来越低。)”和最后一段“With a bit of time, collaboration has replaced competition. Working with others and seeking help doesn’t weaken my value or contributions; it means we can all win. I no longer feel lonely and unhappy. (随着时间的推移，合作取代了竞争。与他人合作和寻求帮助并不会削弱我的价值或贡献;这意味着我们都能赢。我不再感到孤独和不快乐。)”可知，文章讲述了作者从最初在学术界采取竞争态度导致压力巨大、感到孤独和失去效率，到后来通过与人分享自己的困扰、得到支持并意识到合作的重要性，最终转变为更加开放和合作的态度的过程。因此，“From competition to cooperation (从竞争到合作)”最适合作为本文的标题。故选A。 C A group of researchers studying the behavior of Amur tigers, also known as Siberian tigers, have found that they have different “personality” types that help them survive and raise their baby tigers. According to the previous investigation, Amur tigers are definitely the largest cats in the world. They live in vast forests in wildness areas of eastern Russia and in protected areas of northern China. There are about 400 of these tigers left in the wild, although there are probably hundreds more living in zoos or reserves. The researchers based the study on a human test called “The Big Five”, which scores people on five personality features. They asked feeders working with 248 cats in two shelters to spy on the tigers and give an account of their personalities. The results divided the tigers into two groups, which the researchers described as having either “majesty” or “steadiness”. Tigers in the majesty category were those that appeared “dignified (高贵的) and ambitious”. The tigers in the steadiness category were “sincere and tolerant”. Majestic tigers had a higher social status, spent more time hunting live animals, and mated and ate more. The steady tigers seemed gentler and loving toward one another. Rosalind Arden, co-author of the study, said, “It’s pleasant to see that you don’t have to be dominant, fierce, competitive, and aggressive in order to succeed as a tiger, which doesn’t correspond with people’s traditional insights into tigers.” There were female and male tigers in both categories. In fact, female Amur tigers are rare and feel exhausted after giving birth to baby tigers so that fathers often help raise the baby tigers. Having a steady personality, especially for male ones, could play a significant role in the relatively long amount of time — two to three years — that baby tigers stay with their parents. The researchers say both personalities have advantages that help the tigers survive threats, including loss of habitat and hunting. The team hopes the study will encourage more support from all walks of life in a bid to guarantee the tigers’ conservation. 8. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2? A. To justify an argument. B. To add background information. C. To summarize the previous paragraph. D. To introduce a new topic for discussion. 9. The researchers conducted the study on Amur tigers by A. categorizing them for inspection B. scoring them on 5 personality features C. doing comparison experiments in the lab D. observing them through a personality test 10. What does Rosalind Arden think of their findings? A. They improve Amur tigers’ welfare. B. They change the tigers’ living conditions. C. They help the reproduction of Amur tigers. D. They contradict traditional ideas about tigers. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Few sex-related differences exist in tigers’ personalities. B. A steady personality decreases tigers’ chance of survival. C. Greater conservation efforts have been made due to the study. D. Personality types of baby tigers are influenced by their parents. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，该研究表明，东北虎有不同的“性格”类型，而这也有助于东北虎的生存和抚养幼虎。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A group of researchers studying the behavior of Amur tigers, also known as Siberian tigers, have found that they have different “personality” types that help them survive and raise their baby tigers.(一组研究东北虎(也被称为西伯利亚虎)行为的研究人员发现，它们有不同的“性格”类型，这有助于它们生存和抚养幼虎。)”可知，第一段主要介绍了一项新的研究发现；而第二段“According to the previous investigation, Amur tigers are definitely the largest cuts in the world. They live in vast forests in wildness areas of eastern Russia and in protected areas of northern China. There are about 400 of these tigers left in the wild, although there are probably hundreds more living in zoos or reserves(根据之前的调查，东北虎绝对是世界上数量下降得最多的。它们生活在俄罗斯东部荒野地区的广阔森林和中国北部的保护区。野生老虎大约有400只，不过可能还有数百只生活在动物园或保护区。)”则补充了介绍了东北虎的背景信息。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The researchers based the study on a human test called “The Big Five”, which scores people on five personality features. They asked feeders working with 248 cats in two shelters to spy on the tigers and give an account of their personalities.(研究人员的研究基于一项名为“大五人格”的人体测试，该测试对人们的五种性格特征进行评分。他们要求饲养员在两个收容所照顾248只老虎，监视老虎，并描述它们的性格。)”可知，研究人员通过性格测试对东北虎进行了观察研究。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Rosalind Arden, co-author of the study, said, “It’s pleasant to see that you don’t have to be dominant, fierce, competitive, and aggressive in order to succeed as a tiger, which doesn’t correspond with people’s traditional insights into tigers.”(该研究的合著者Rosalind Arden说：“很高兴看到，要想成为一只成功的老虎，你不必是强势的、凶猛的、有竞争力的和好斗的，这与人们对老虎的传统看法不相符。”)”可知，Rosalind Arden认为他们的发现与人们关于老虎的传统观念相矛盾。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“There were female and male tigers in both categories. In fact, female Amur tigers are rare and feel exhausted after giving birth to baby tigers so that fathers often help raise the baby tigers.(两个类别中都有雌虎和雄虎。事实上，雌性东北虎非常罕见，在生下幼虎后会感到筋疲力尽，所以东北虎爸爸经常帮助抚养幼虎。)”可知，两个类别中都有雌虎和雄虎，由此可推断出老虎的性格中几乎没有与性别有关的差异。故选A。 D Faced with an attempt by a new chatbot to imitate (模仿) his own songs, the musician Nick Cave delivered a strong response: it was “an absolutely horrible attempt”. He understood that AI was in its babyhood, but could only conclude that the true horror might be that “it will forever be in its babyhood”. While a robot might one day be able to create a song, he wrote, it would never grow beyond “a kind of burlesque (滑稽的模仿)”, because robots-being composed of data-are unable to suffer, while songs arise out of suffering. Fans of Cave and his band will agree that his music is inimitable, but that doesn’t mean they would necessarily be able to tell the difference. A few days before Cave’s remarks, experts were asked to distinguish between four genuine artworks and their AI imitations. Their conclusions were wrong five times out of 12, and they were only unitedly right in one of the four picture comparisons. These are party games, but they point to an unfolding challenge that must be managed as a matter of urgency because, like it or not, AI art is upon us. The arrival of the human-impersonating ChatGPT might have increased general awareness, but artists across a wide range of disciplines are already exploring its potential, with the dancer Wayne McGregor and London’s Young Vic Theatre among those who have created AI-based works. A strongly-worded report from Communications and Digital Committee (CDC) issued a wake-up call to the government, urging it to raise its game in educating future generations of tech-savvy professionals, and tackling key regulatory challenges. These included reviewing reforms to intellectual property law, strengthening the rights of performers and artists, and taking action to support the creative sector in adapting to the disturbances caused by swift and stormy technological change. While developing AI is important, it should not be pursued at all costs, the CDC stressed. It deplored the failure of the Department for Digital, Culture, and Media to offer a defence against proposed changes to intellectual property law that would give copyright exemption (版权豁免) to any work, anywhere in the world, involving AI text and data mining. The challenges of AI are both philosophical, as Cave suggested, and practical. They will unfold over the short and long term. State-of-the-art creative industries have a key role to play in shaping and exploring the philosophical ones, but they must have the practical help they require to survive and be successful. They need it now. 12. Why does the author mention the four picture comparisons in Paragraph 2? A. To stress the similarities between AI art and human art. B. To argue that human art will be replaced by AI art. C. To prove AI is stretching the boundaries of art. D. To imply AI art cannot be underestimated. 13. What does the underlined word “deplored” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Clearly analyzed. B. Bravely suffered. C. Strongly criticized. D. Accurately perceived. 14. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Some artists see AI as a tool even though it is a threat. B. Creative industries are responsible for causing the AI problem. C. Tech professionals need more training to better understand AI art. D The quality of AI art dismisses concerns about intellectual property. 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Creative Thief: AI Makes Perfect Art B. AI in Art: A Battle That Must Be Fought C. Threat or Opportunity: The Impact of AI on Art D. The Rise of AI Art: What It Means to Human Artists 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述一些艺术家对人工智能艺术的看法，并指出人工智能艺术一定会面临挑战。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A few days before Cave’s remarks, experts were asked to distinguish between four genuine artworks and their AI imitations. Their conclusions were wrong five times out of 12, and they were only unitedly right in one of the four picture comparisons. (在凯夫发表讲话前几天，专家们被要求区分四件真正的艺术品和它们的人工智能仿制品。他们的结论在12次中有5次是错误的，而且他们只在四张图片的对比中有一张是完全正确的。)”可推断提到了四幅图片的比较是说明人工智能艺术不可低估，故选D。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“While developing AI is important, it should not be pursued at all costs, the CDC stressed. (CDC强调，虽然开发人工智能很重要，但不应不惜一切代价追求它。)”和画线单词所在句子“It deplored the failure of the Department for Digital, Culture, and Media to offer a defence (它deplored数字、文化和媒体部门未能提供辩护)”可知，开发人工智能很重要，但不应不惜一切代价追求它，这说明CDC对数字、文化和媒体部门未能提供辩护表示批评，故猜测deplored意思是批评，故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“He understood that AI was in its babyhood, but could only conclude that the true horror might be that “it will forever be in its babyhood”. While a robot might one day be able to create a song, he wrote, it would never grow beyond “a kind of burlesque (滑稽的模仿)”, because robots-being composed of data-are unable to suffer, while songs arise out of suffering. (他明白人工智能还处于婴儿期，但他只能得出这样的结论：真正的恐怖可能是“它将永远处于婴儿期”。他写道，也许有一天机器人能够创作一首歌，但它永远不会超越“一种滑稽模仿”，因为机器人是由数据组成的，它们无法忍受痛苦，而歌曲是从痛苦中产生的。)”可推断有些艺术家认为尽管人工智能是一种威胁，但它更是一种工具。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其最后一段“The challenges of AI are both philosophical, as Cave suggested, and practical. They will unfold over the short and long term. State-of-the-art creative industries have a key role to play in shaping and exploring the philosophical ones, but they must have the practical help they require to survive and be successful. They need it now. (正如凯夫所言，人工智能面临的挑战既有哲学层面的，也有实践层面的。它们将在短期和长期内展开。最先进的创意产业在塑造和探索哲学产业方面发挥着关键作用，但它们必须得到生存和成功所需的实际帮助。他们现在就需要。)”可知本文讲述的就是人工智能艺术必定要面临很多挑战，B选项“艺术中的AI：一场必须进行的战斗”符合文章主旨，适合做标题，故选B。 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。 Most of us have been put on the spot in a number of different situations, whether at work or among a group of friends. ___16___ However, you just aren’t ready to give, whether it’s because you don’t know or you’re not willing to share. It is really embarrassing. We’ve all been guilty of putting others on the spot ourselves usually by accident. Perhaps we ask a sensitive question of a friend in a group setting, or try to push a quiet coworker to share their answers in a meeting. ___17___ Putting someone on the spot though, whether intentional or not, has the effect of destroying trust in a relationship. The key to maintaining the trust in a relationship is developing your emotional intelligence. ___18___ As Krauss wrote in a recent Psychology Today article, “A sign that you’re not as sensitive as you could be when you pressure people is that others try to stay away from you to the extent that they can.” ___19___ Are people born with the ability to develop a high level of emotional intelligence, or is that something they are taught? Although the answer is probably a little bit of both, strengthening your emotional intelligence is definitely something we can all do. ___20___ Listening, empathizing (共情), and reflecting are strategies that many of us have developed with time to strengthen our emotional intelligence, whether with the help of a professional or through our own trial-and-error. A. People are fed up with the dull and long wait. B. It can help us understand and handle a confusing situation. C. Even, we just want to make someone we don’t like uneasy. D. A core part of that is being able to perceive how others feel. E. A set of eyes turn toward you with the expectation for an answer. F. Many of us have got more emotionally intelligent as we get older. G. There is a debate on whether emotional intelligence is native or not. 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. D 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了会让他人陷入困境的原因以及情商对于关系的影响。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Most of us have been put on the spot in a number of different situations, whether at work or among a group of friends.(无论是在工作中还是在一群朋友中，我们大多数人都曾在许多不同的情况下陷入困境)”以及后文“However, you just aren’t ready to give, whether it’s because you don’t know or you’re not willing to share. It is really embarrassing.(然而，你就是没有准备好给答案，也许是因为你不知道，也许是因为你不愿意分享。这真的很尴尬)”可知，本句承接上文，继续说明陷入困境时的场景。故E选项“一双眼睛转向你，期待着你的回答”符合语境，故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“We’ve all been guilty of putting others on the spot ourselves, usually by accident. Perhaps we ask a sensitive question of a friend in a group setting, or try to push a quiet coworker to share their answers in a meeting.(我们都曾为自己让别人陷入困境而感到内疚，通常是出于偶然。也许我们会在小组中问朋友一个敏感的问题，或者在会议上强迫一个安静的同事分享他们的答案)”可知，本段主要分析让他人陷入困境的原因，本句为本段最后一句，是对上文原因的补充说明，故C选项“甚至，我们只是想让我们不喜欢的人感到不安”符合语境，故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Putting someone on the spot though, whether intentional or not, has the effect of destroying trust in a relationship. The key to maintaining the trust in a relationship is developing your emotional intelligence.(然而，无论是有意还是无意，把某人置于困境都会破坏一段关系中的信任。在一段关系中保持信任的关键是发展你的情商)”以及后文“As Krauss wrote in a recent Psychology Today article, “A sign that you’re not as sensitive as you could be when you pressure people is that others try to stay away from you to the extent that they can.”(克劳斯最近在《今日心理学》的一篇文章中写道：“当你给别人施加压力时，别人会尽量远离你，这表明你并没有像你想象的那么敏感。”)”可知，上文指出保持信任需要发展情商，后文提到无意识给他人施压说明并没有那么敏感，即对他人的感受没能及时发觉。故D选项“其中的一个核心部分是能够感知他人的感受”符合语境，故选D。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Are people born with the ability to develop a high level of emotional intelligence, or is that something they are taught? Although the answer is probably a little bit of both, strengthening your emotional intelligence is definitely something we can all do.(人们是天生就有能力发展高水平的情商，还是后天习得的？虽然答案可能两者都有一点，但提高情商绝对是我们都能做的事情)”可知，本段主要说明了关于情商是否是天生的存在争议，故G选项“关于情商是否天生就有争议”符合语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据后文“Listening, empathizing (共情), and reflecting are strategies that many of us have developed with time to strengthen our emotional intelligence, whether with the help of a professional or through our own trial-and-error.(倾听、移情和反思是我们许多人随着时间的推移而发展起来的增强情商的策略，无论是在专业人士的帮助下，还是通过我们自己的试错)”可知，后文提到情商可以随着时间推移而发展，即情商随着年龄增长而变得越高。故F选项“随着年龄的增长，我们中的许多人的情商都越来越高”符合语境，故选F。 第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (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 my dad planned out a trip to La Mina Falls in the El Yunque National Rainforest, I was not really into it, and I went along ___21___. I’ve never been fond of cold water. If the ___22___ isn’t to my liking, I’m not going to ___23___ myself from the pool’s edge like a missile (导弹). I’m the type of person who ___24___ their time easing into the water, lowering myself step-by-step, and ___25___ my body to get used to the icy depths. My complicated relationship with water is ___26___ my dad, who I don’t think has ever looked ___27___ he dived. I wasn’t raised on the river like he was. Shortly after I was born, we ___28___ to central Florida, far away from the rapids of my father’s youth. When we finally made it to the La Mina Falls, I was worn out. My dad was already knee-deep in the water and ___29___ fast, while I was resting on a rock. He paused, looking over at me and ____30____ perhaps for the first time, that I had ____31____ him into the forest. He waved his hand at me, and I ____32____ my shoes.

However, I’m not sure about my father’s love. There are photographs of us laughing together, with me in diapers when I was a baby. I’ve watched recordings of my older sister and me lining up in turns for my father to hold and toss us into the air — all three of us shrieking (尖叫) with delight. Did I love him then? I feel I must have loved him because the film says so — the infant child is laughing, and she is embracing the man beside her. When I turn off the tape to search my own childhood for proof of my father’s love, and proof that we shared something like love, there is one impressive memory I can name. At some point during my first year of school, I peed (尿湿了) my pants in class. I was sent to the school nurse for a change of clothes, and for the rest of the day, I wore a pair of over-large, bright orange sweat pants. I remember exactly how the teacher looked at me and exactly what the other students said, but they were the least of my worries. I was in terror at the thought of showing up at home with different pants. All afternoon I planned how I would enter the house very quietly and run to my room before my father even noticed I was there. During the entire bus ride home I rehearsed (默默练习) again and again the plan I had in mind that would allow me to escape my father’s wrath (盛怒) and his triangle eyes. Triangle eyes. This was the name my sister Shira and I used to use whenever my father’s eyes would tense up into two hard triangles, with the calm of his face having fled away in a flash of anger. Their appearance was sudden and unpredictable, ignited by a poor exam score from Shira, or when I burnt the bread in the toaster. He’d point out the door and yell, “Get out!” Who knew what peeing pants in class would get you. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 So I carefully planned to avoid his notice, but the plan backfired. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Everything he did told me that HE LOVED ME! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: So I carefully planned to avoid his notice, but the plan backfired. I paused too long at the front door to check for my father. When he yelled out “Hello?”, I promptly bolted into the coat closet. I hid there in the dark until my dad found me in the long-standing pants, and I had no choice but to tell him. Then my father did something very kind and very strange. He reached out for me and gently patted my head — or was it my shoulder? Maybe my arm? My father took the satisfied pants, still stuffed in a plastic bag from school. He put the pants in the laundry and said he was glad I was Okay. Everything he did told me that HE LOVED ME! And as I remember that moment, I want to scream through the hallway of time: “That’s it! Look! He loves you!” I want to reach toward the little girl staring down at her feet, the girl who is so relieved to have not upset her father yet again but who is nonetheless still afraid to meet his eyes. I want to raise her head so she can see what her father’s face looks like when he loves her, to lift up her eyes and know it is okay to be loved. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者笃定母亲的爱，却对父亲的爱存疑。一年级时作者在课堂尿湿裤子，一整天穿着不合身的橙色裤子，满心恐惧怕父亲生气。因父亲常因小事怒目圆睁，作者不知这次会招致怎样的后果。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“所以我小心翼翼地计划避开他的注意，但这个计划适得其反。”可知，第一段可以描写作者的父亲得知真相后的行动。 ②由第二段句首内容“他所做的一切都告诉我他爱我！”可知，第二段可以描写作者对于父亲的爱的体会。 2.续写线索：小心翼翼地避开注意——父亲发现——解释—安慰——一切告诉我他爱我——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①停顿：pause/stop ②大喊：yell/shout ③轻拍：pat/tap 情绪类 ①奇怪的：strange/odd ②高兴的：glad/happy 【点睛】【高分句型1】When he yelled out “Hello?”, I promptly bolted into the coat closet.

When I encountered scientific problems, I thought I had to solve them myself instead of asking for help. The pressure became overwhelming. I began to feel alone and lost. I became less and less productive. I emailed my mentors (导师), explaining that I had put myself second and the job first for too long. They told me that I wasn’t the first academic to feel that way, and that I wouldn’t be the last. They agreed that I should take the time I needed to take care of myself. So, with my mentors’ support and an uncertain future, I left. Back home, I spent time with family and friends and opened up about my struggles. At first, I was ashamed. But the more I talked about my demons, the more other people told me about their own. I also started to receive emails from my workmates. After a few lines asking how I was, many expressed worries about how they were managing the stress of academic life. Vulnerable (脆弱的) researchers were poking their heads out of their shells. Our relationships deepened. I began to feel less alone. Three months later, I was prepared to go back to the science that I loved, and I now had a foundation to be more open with my colleagues. I understood that we all struggle sometimes, and that collaboration can be more powerful than competition. With a bit of time, collaboration has replaced competition. Working with others and seeking help doesn’t weaken my value or contributions; it means we can all win. I no longer feel lonely and unhappy. 4. How did the author feel after adopting a competitive approach? A. Empowered and successful. B. Overwhelmed and isolated. C. Motivated and productive. D. Ashamed and annoyed. 5. Why did the writer take a break? A. He was always the last. B. He needed some time to readjust. C. He got serious homesick. D. He failed to care about himself. 6. What does the underlined phrase mean? A. Trying to be open with others. B. Starting to walk out regularly. C. Being more confident in research. D. Tending to be happier than ever. 7. Which can be the most suitable title for the passage? A. From competition to cooperation B. From selfishness to selflessness C. From problems to solutions D. From uncertainty to certainty C A group of researchers studying the behavior of Amur tigers, also known as Siberian tigers, have found that they have different “personality” types that help them survive and raise their baby tigers. According to the previous investigation, Amur tigers are definitely the largest cats in the world. They live in vast forests in wildness areas of eastern Russia and in protected areas of northern China. There are about 400 of these tigers left in the wild, although there are probably hundreds more living in zoos or reserves. The researchers based the study on a human test called “The Big Five”, which scores people on five personality features. They asked feeders working with 248 cats in two shelters to spy on the tigers and give an account of their personalities. The results divided the tigers into two groups, which the researchers described as having either “majesty” or “steadiness”. Tigers in the majesty category were those that appeared “dignified (高贵的) and ambitious”. The tigers in the steadiness category were “sincere and tolerant”. Majestic tigers had a higher social status, spent more time hunting live animals, and mated and ate more. The steady tigers seemed gentler and loving toward one another. Rosalind Arden, co-author of the study, said, “It’s pleasant to see that you don’t have to be dominant, fierce, competitive, and aggressive in order to succeed as a tiger, which doesn’t correspond with people’s traditional insights into tigers.” There were female and male tigers in both categories. In fact, female Amur tigers are rare and feel exhausted after giving birth to baby tigers so that fathers often help raise the baby tigers. Having a steady personality, especially for male ones, could play a significant role in the relatively long amount of time — two to three years — that baby tigers stay with their parents. The researchers say both personalities have advantages that help the tigers survive threats, including loss of habitat and hunting. The team hopes the study will encourage more support from all walks of life in a bid to guarantee the tigers’ conservation. 8. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2? A. To justify an argument. B. To add background information. C. To summarize the previous paragraph. D. To introduce a new topic for discussion. 9. The researchers conducted the study on Amur tigers by A. categorizing them for inspection B. scoring them on 5 personality features C. doing comparison experiments in the lab D. observing them through a personality test 10. What does Rosalind Arden think of their findings? A. They improve Amur tigers’ welfare. B. They change the tigers’ living conditions. C. They help the reproduction of Amur tigers. D. They contradict traditional ideas about tigers. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Few sex-related differences exist in tigers’ personalities. B. A steady personality decreases tigers’ chance of survival. C. Greater conservation efforts have been made due to the study. D. Personality types of baby tigers are influenced by their parents. D Faced with an attempt by a new chatbot to imitate (模仿) his own songs, the musician Nick Cave delivered a strong response: it was “an absolutely horrible attempt”. He understood that AI was in its babyhood, but could only conclude that the true horror might be that “it will forever be in its babyhood”. While a robot might one day be able to create a song, he wrote, it would never grow beyond “a kind of burlesque (滑稽的模仿)”, because robots-being composed of data-are unable to suffer, while songs arise out of suffering. Fans of Cave and his band will agree that his music is inimitable, but that doesn’t mean they would necessarily be able to tell the difference. A few days before Cave’s remarks, experts were asked to distinguish between four genuine artworks and their AI imitations. Their conclusions were wrong five times out of 12, and they were only unitedly right in one of the four picture comparisons. These are party games, but they point to an unfolding challenge that must be managed as a matter of urgency because, like it or not, AI art is upon us. The arrival of the human-impersonating ChatGPT might have increased general awareness, but artists across a wide range of disciplines are already exploring its potential, with the dancer Wayne McGregor and London’s Young Vic Theatre among those who have created AI-based works. A strongly-worded report from Communications and Digital Committee (CDC) issued a wake-up call to the government, urging it to raise its game in educating future generations of tech-savvy professionals, and tackling key regulatory challenges. These included reviewing reforms to intellectual property law, strengthening the rights of performers and artists, and taking action to support the creative sector in adapting to the disturbances caused by swift and stormy technological change. While developing AI is important, it should not be pursued at all costs, the CDC stressed. It deplored the failure of the Department for Digital, Culture, and Media to offer a defence against proposed changes to intellectual property law that would give copyright exemption (版权豁免) to any work, anywhere in the world, involving AI text and data mining. The challenges of AI are both philosophical, as Cave suggested, and practical. They will unfold over the short and long term. State-of-the-art creative industries have a key role to play in shaping and exploring the philosophical ones, but they must have the practical help they require to survive and be successful. They need it now. 12. Why does the author mention the four picture comparisons in Paragraph 2? A. To stress the similarities between AI art and human art. B. To argue that human art will be replaced by AI art. C. To prove AI is stretching the boundaries of art. D. To imply AI art cannot be underestimated. 13. What does the underlined word “deplored” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Clearly analyzed. B. Bravely suffered. C. Strongly criticized. D. Accurately perceived. 14. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Some artists see AI as a tool even though it is a threat. B. Creative industries are responsible for causing the AI problem. C. Tech professionals need more training to better understand AI art. D. The quality of AI art dismisses concerns about intellectual property. 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Creative Thief: AI Makes Perfect Art B. AI in Art: A Battle That Must Be Fought C. Threat or Opportunity: The Impact of AI on Art D. The Rise of AI Art: What It Means to Human Artists 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。 Most of us have been put on the spot in a number of different situations, whether at work or among a group of friends. ___16___ However, you just aren’t ready to give, whether it’s because you don’t know or you’re not willing to share. It is really embarrassing. We’ve all been guilty of putting others on the spot ourselves, usually by accident. Perhaps we ask a sensitive question of a friend in a group setting, or try to push a quiet coworker to share their answers in a meeting. ___17___ Putting someone on the spot though, whether intentional or not, has the effect of destroying trust in a relationship. The key to maintaining the trust in a relationship is developing your emotional intelligence. ___18___ As Krauss wrote in a recent Psychology Today article, “A sign that you’re not as sensitive as you could be when you pressure people is that others try to stay away from you to the extent that they can.” ___19___ Are people born with the ability to develop a high level of emotional intelligence, or is that something they are taught? Although the answer is probably a little bit of both, strengthening your emotional intelligence is definitely something we can all do. ___20___ Listening, empathizing (共情), and reflecting are strategies that many of us have developed with time to strengthen our emotional intelligence, whether with the help of a professional or through our own trial-and-error. A People are fed up with the dull and long wait. B. It can help us understand and handle a confusing situation. C. Even, we just want to make someone we don’t like uneasy. D. A core part of that is being able to perceive how others feel. E. A set of eyes turn toward you with the expectation for an answer. F.

However, I’m not sure about my father’s love. There are photographs of us laughing together, with me in diapers when I was a baby. I’ve watched recordings of my older sister and me lining up in turns for my father to hold and toss us into the air — all three of us shrieking (尖叫) with delight. Did I love him then? I feel I must have loved him because the film says so — the infant child is laughing, and she is embracing the man beside her. When I turn off the tape to search my own childhood for proof of my father’s love, and proof that we shared something like love, there is one impressive memory I can name. At some point during my first year of school, I peed (尿湿了) my pants in class. I was sent to the school nurse for a change of clothes, and for the rest of the day, I wore a pair of over-large, bright orange sweat pants. I remember exactly how the teacher looked at me and exactly what the other students said, but they were the least of my worries. I was in terror at the thought of showing up at home with different pants All afternoon I planned how I would enter the house very quietly and run to my room before my father even noticed I was there. During the entire bus ride home I rehearsed (默默练习) again and again the plan I had in mind that would allow me to escape my father’s wrath (盛怒) and his triangle eyes. Triangle eyes. This was the name my sister Shira and I used to use whenever my father’s eyes would tense up into two hard triangles, with the calm of his face having fled away in a flash of anger. Their appearance was sudden and unpredictable, ignited by a poor exam score from Shira, or when I burnt the bread in the toaster. He’d point out the door and yell, “Get out!” Who knew what peeing pants in class would get you. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 So I carefully planned to avoid his notice, but the plan backfired. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Everything he did told me that HE LOVED ME! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
