London grew up near the waterfront in Oakland. He loved the water. When he was fifteen years old, he bought a small sailboat called a sloop.

London entertained the miners with story after story. Later, using his experiences during the Gold Rush, he created many more colorful stories. London resolved to live a full, exciting life. He once said, “I would rather be a superb meteor (流星), every atom of me in magnificent glow,than a sleepy and permanent planet.” Each day, he pushed himself. Once London determined that he was going to be a writer,nothing could stop him. His goal was to write at least one thousand words everyday. He refused to stop even when he was sick. In eighteen years, the writer published fifty-one books and hundreds of articles. He was the best-selling and highest-paid author of his day. Many people also considered him to be the best writer.

For thousands of years, we have been polluting the environment, making it hard for animals to live on the planet. We have been killing animals for their fur, feathers or meat, or simply because they are dangerous. As a result, many kinds of animals have disappeared forever. Hundreds more are on the endangered list today. Should we care about animals? Of course we should. If animals of a certain kind all disappear, they will never come back again. Animals are more than just resources of things we need. Every kind of animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying any kind of animal can lead to many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks (鹰), the corn and grain that the farmers stored were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice. With less and less hawks to keep down their numbers, rats and mice multiplied quickly. And if people kill too many birds, the fields will be bothered with insects. It is because birds eat insects. When there are less and less birds, more and more insects will eat the crops. Luckily, we’ve realized that we shouldn’t kill animals any more. And people are working hard to save those animals that would disappear soon. The government also passed laws to protect the endangered animals. In fact, quite a few countries have passed such laws. These laws forbid the killing of any kind of animal on the endangered list. We should try our best to protect and save the endangered animals. 8. Why do people kill animals? A. Animals cause endless trouble. B. Animals destroy their natural balance. C. They kill animals to control their number. D. They kill animals for something they need. 9. What does the example that farmers killed hawks show? A. There are too many rats and mice. B. Animals are good food resources. C. Animals are very beautiful and interesting. D. Every kind of animal is very important in nature. 10. What can be learned from this text? A. The endangered animals should be kept away from people. B. People cared much about animals because they relied on them. C. The number of dangerous animals increased too fast in the past. D. Killing off one kind of animals would cause some new problems. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of endangered animals? A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Optimistic. D. Negative. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了人类对动物的影响，包括捕杀动物的原因、动物在生态系统中的作用，以及保护濒危动物的措施。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“We have been killing animals for their fur, feathers or meat, or simply because they are dangerous.(我们一直在捕杀动物，为了它们的皮毛、羽毛或肉，或者仅仅因为它们很危险。)”可知，人们捕杀动物是为了得到他们需要的东西。故选D。 9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Every kind of animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying any kind of animal can lead to many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the corn and grain that the farmers stored were destroyed by rats and mice.(每一种动物在自然界的平衡中都有其位置。破坏任何一种动物都会导致许多问题。例如，当农民杀死大量鹰时，农民储存的玉米和谷物被老鼠破坏了。)”可知，农民杀死鹰的例子说明了每一种动物在自然界中都很重要。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Destroying any kind of animal can lead to many problems.(破坏任何一种动物都会导致许多问题。)”可知，杀死一种动物会导致一些新的问题。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Luckily, we’ve realized that we shouldn’t kill animals any more. And people are working hard to save those animals that would disappear soon. The government also passed laws to protect the endangered animals. In fact, quite a few countries have passed such laws. These laws forbid the killing of any kind of animal on the endangered list. We should try our best to protect and save the endangered animals.(幸运的是，我们已经意识到我们不应该再捕杀动物了。人们正在努力拯救那些即将消失的动物。政府也通过了保护濒危动物的法律。事实上，不少国家都通过了这样的法律。这些法律禁止捕杀濒危动物名单上的任何一种动物。我们应该尽力保护和拯救濒危动物。)”可知，作者对濒危动物未来的态度是乐观的。故选C。 D There’s a new AI bot: ChatGPT, and you’d better pay attention, even if you aren’t into artificial intelligence. The tool is an AI chatbot system that OpenAI released in November 2022 to show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can achieve. ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models and is fine-tuned (a method of transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning. You can ask ChatGPT anything, like explaining physics, asking for birthday party ideas and getting programming help. Perhaps it’s not smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative. A few days after its launch, more than l million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years. ChatGPT is free to use at the moment because it is still in its research phase. But when too many people hop onto the server, it overloads and can’t process your request. It just means you should try visiting the site at a later time when fewer people are trying to access it. if you want to skip the wait and have reliable access, there is an option for you. As of Feb. 1, 2023, OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus,which allows users to have general access even during peak times. This service does come at a cost of $20/month. However, ChatGPT cannot replace Google. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence bot that provides solutions to your questions, but Google is a search engine in which you can search for as much information as possible. ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day. 12. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT? A. Its language model. B. Its working theory. C. Its design inspiration. D. Its development process. 13. Why does the author list figures in paragraph 3? A. To show the popularity of ChatGPT. B. To stress the high cost of inventing ChatGPT. C. To present the creativity of artificial intelligence. D. To prove the necessity of developing tools for chatting online. 14. What is ChatGPT Plus intended for? A. Guiding users to experience free services. B. Allowing net surfers to skip advertisements. C. Helping researchers detect the failure of the system. D. Offering consumers priority access during peak hours. 15. What is a limitation of ChatGPT compared with Google? A. It operates based on limited data. B. It takes more time to search for solutions. C. It can only update information at a fixed time. D. It may provide replies unrelated to the questions. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了ChatGPT的出现，市场反应，并对它的优点及弊端进行分析。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models and is fine-tuned (a method of transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning.( ChatGPT记得你对话的主线，利用之前的问题和答案来为其下一个回答提供信息。它从互联网上大量的信息中推导出答案。ChatGPT是建立在OpenAI GPT-3大型语言模型家族之上的，并使用监督学习和强化学习进行了微调（一种迁移学习方法）”)”可知，第二段主要介绍了ChatGPT的工作原理。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“A few days after its launch, more than l million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.(推出几天后，就有100多万人试用ChatGPT。瑞银分析师劳埃德•沃尔姆斯利在2023年2月估计，ChatGPT在1月份达到了1亿月度用户，在2个月内完成了TikTok约9个月和Instagram两年半才完成的事情。)”可知，作者列出这些数字是为了展示ChatGPT的受欢迎程度。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“As of Feb. 1, 2023, OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users to have general access even during peak times. This service does come at a cost of $20/month.(截至2023年2月1日，OpenAI推出了ChatGPT专业版计划，即ChatGPT Plus，允许用户即使在高峰时段也能访问。这项服务的费用为每月20美元。)”可知，ChatGPT Plus的目的是在高峰时段为消费者提供优先访问权。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day.(由于ChatGPT的编程，它的知识有限，但Google的知识是无限的，并且每天都在更新。)”可知，与Google相比，ChatGPT的局限性在于它是基于有限的数据运行的。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Money habits are the small daily decisions we make that influence how we spend and save our money. ____16____ But with a little awareness and effort, we can make improvements that will help us achieve our financial goals.

He promised to do it when he got back from Kim's house. However, I demanded that he not leave the house until he finished writing a note to everyone he came in contact with during the job interview. “Even the receptionist who was rude to me?” Jon asked with a confused expression “Especially her!” Jon was home on Christmas break from college and had just finished interviewing with his first-choice company in Cleveland, Ohio. It was a rare opportunity considering that jobs were in short supply. The power of a thank-you note is something I drilled into my boy from the time he was old enough to hold a pencil. It didn't matter if it was for a birthday, Christmas or graduation. Every gift had to be acknowledged with sincere gratitude within twenty-four hours. Growing up, my mom was a stickler for thank-you notes. But she phrased it in such a way that it came across not as a threat but as a privilege. She'd say, “Your words of sincere gratitude have the power to change someone's life for the better—even if it's just for a moment.” Her advice changed my life, and it was my hope that it would change Jon's life as well. After an hour, Jon emerged from his room and handed over eight thank-you notes. To my delight, they were all sincere and heartfelt, even the one to the receptionist who had been less than friendly. Before Jon left to visit Kim, he turned to me and announced that he was pretty sure a thank-you note to the CEO or the receptionist wasn't going to land him the job. With a smile, I told him to wait and see. Jon was twenty-one years old, and I felt foolish telling a grown man what to do, but I also didn't want him living in our basement for the rest of his life! 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 A week later, Jon received a call from the company. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day after work, I found a thank-you note on my bedside table. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A week later, Jon received a call from the company. Shifting uneasily in his chair, he picked up the phone. “Yes, this is Jon,” he said, trying to keep his voice steady. I watched him, my heart pounding. As he continued to speak, his face lit up with an excited smile. When he hung up the phone, he turned to me, eyes shining. He told me that they were really impressed with his interview, but what really stood out were the thank-you notes. The CEO mentioned that he was touched by the notes and appreciated the effort Jon put into thanking everyone, including the receptionist. I felt a rush of pride and relief. I knew it would work. The next day after work, I found a thank-you note on my bedside table. Surprised, I picked it up, unfolded it, and was greeted with Jon’s familiar handwriting. It was a thank-you note from Jon. He thanked me for pushing him to do his best and for teaching him the importance of gratitude, which had truly changed his life. As I read the note, tears welled up in my eyes. I had always believed in the power of gratitude and a thank-you note, but seeing it come full circle like this was more rewarding than I could have ever imagined. Jon was not only succeeding in his career but also growing into a thoughtful and compassionate man. And that was the greatest gift of all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了一位母亲教导儿子乔恩写感谢信的重要性，并如何通过实践影响了儿子的生活。母亲强调写感谢信的力量，不仅是对他人的尊重和感激，也是个人成长和成功的关键。乔恩在面试后写了感谢信，这些信最终帮助他在求职过程中获得了优势。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一周后，乔恩接到了公司的电话。”可知，第一段可描写电话的内容——面试官对乔恩印象深刻是因为他的感谢信，同时描述乔恩收到电话后的情绪澎湃，作者感到自豪和宽慰。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天下班后，我在床头柜上发现了一张感谢信。”可知，第二段可描写作者在床头柜上发现了儿子乔恩给她写的感谢信，描述感谢信的内容以及作者的情绪和感悟。 2.续写线索： 乔恩接到面试公司电话——转述电话内容给作者——面试官因为感谢信对乔恩印象深刻——乔恩面试成功——作者发现床头柜下乔恩写给自己的感谢信——介绍信件中的内容——作者最终感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①挪动：shift/move ②提及：mention/refer to ③打开：unfold/open 情绪类 ①激动的：excited/exhilarated ②感到骄傲：feel a rush of pride/feel extremely proud 【点睛】[高分句型1].  When he hung up the phone, he turned to me, eyes shining.（句中含有when引导的时间状语从句以及独立主格结构） [高分句型2].

C We human beings haven’t been good friends to animals. For thousands of years, we have been polluting the environment, making it hard for animals to live on the planet. We have been killing animals for their fur, feathers or meat, or simply because they are dangerous. As a result, many kinds of animals have disappeared forever. Hundreds more are on the endangered list today. Should we care about animals? Of course we should. If animals of a certain kind all disappear, they will never come back again. Animals are more than just resources of things we need. Every kind of animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying any kind of animal can lead to many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks (鹰), the corn and grain that the farmers stored were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice. With less and less hawks to keep down their numbers, rats and mice multiplied quickly. And if people kill too many birds, the fields will be bothered with insects. It is because birds eat insects. When there are less and less birds, more and more insects will eat the crops. Luckily, we’ve realized that we shouldn’t kill animals any more. And people are working hard to save those animals that would disappear soon. The government also passed laws to protect the endangered animals. In fact, quite a few countries have passed such laws. These laws forbid the killing of any kind of animal on the endangered list. We should try our best to protect and save the endangered animals. 8. Why do people kill animals? A. Animals cause endless trouble. B. Animals destroy their natural balance. C. They kill animals to control their number. D. They kill animals for something they need. 9. What does the example that farmers killed hawks show? A. There are too many rats and mice. B. Animals are good food resources. C. Animals are very beautiful and interesting. D. Every kind of animal is very important in nature. 10. What can be learned from this text? A. The endangered animals should be kept away from people. B. People cared much about animals because they relied on them. C. The number of dangerous animals increased too fast in the past. D. Killing off one kind of animals would cause some new problems. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of endangered animals? A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Optimistic. D. Negative. D There’s a new AI bot: ChatGPT, and you’d better pay attention, even if you aren’t into artificial intelligence. The tool is an AI chatbot system that OpenAI released in November 2022 to show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can achieve. ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models and is fine-tuned (a method of transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning. You can ask ChatGPT anything, like explaining physics, asking for birthday party ideas and getting programming help. Perhaps it’s not smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative. A few days after its launch, more than l million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years. ChatGPT is free to use at the moment because it is still in its research phase. But when too many people hop onto the server, it overloads and can’t process your request. It just means you should try visiting the site at a later time when fewer people are trying to access it. if you want to skip the wait and have reliable access, there is an option for you. As of Feb. 1, 2023, OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus,which allows users to have general access even during peak times. This service does come at a cost of $20/month. However, ChatGPT cannot replace Google. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence bot that provides solutions to your questions, but Google is a search engine in which you can search for as much information as possible. ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day. 12. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT? A. Its language model. B.

He promised to do it when he got back from Kim's house. However, I demanded that he not leave the house until he finished writing a note to everyone he came in contact with during the job interview. “Even the receptionist who was rude to me?” Jon asked with a confused expression. “Especially her!” Jon was home on Christmas break from college and had just finished interviewing with his first-choice company in Cleveland, Ohio. It was a rare opportunity considering that jobs were in short supply. The power of a thank-you note is something I drilled into my boy from the time he was old enough to hold a pencil. It didn't matter if it was for a birthday, Christmas or graduation. Every gift had to be acknowledged with sincere gratitude within twenty-four hours. Growing up, my mom was a stickler for thank-you notes. But she phrased it in such a way that it came across not as a threat but as a privilege. She'd say, “Your words of sincere gratitude have the power to change someone's life for the better—even if it's just for a moment.” Her advice changed my life, and it was my hope that it would change Jon's life as well. After an hour, Jon emerged from his room and handed over eight thank-you notes. To my delight, they were all sincere and heartfelt, even the one to the receptionist who had been less than friendly. Before Jon left to visit Kim, he turned to me and announced that he was pretty sure a thank-you note to the CEO or the receptionist wasn't going to land him the job. With a smile, I told him to wait and see. Jon was twenty-one years old, and I felt foolish telling a grown man what to do, but I also didn't want him living in our basement for the rest of his life! 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 A week later, Jon received a call from the company. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day after work, I found a thank-you note on my bedside table. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
