By the time she turned 18, Khadijah Williams had attended twelve schools. She had lived in shelters, in parks, and in motels, never in a permanent residence for more than a few months. She had tolerated the blames of students who considered her as “different”.
Homeless since early childhood, Khadijah struggled all her life to hide her circumstances from teachers and fellow students. However, academics proved to be a way for her to find confidence in herself again. For instance, at the age of 9, she placed in the 99th percentile on a state exam, and her teacher told her she was “gifted”. From that moment forward, Khadijah decided to do whatever it took to keep herself in that category. “I was so proud of being smart. I never wanted people to say, ‘You got the easy way out because you’re homeless,’” she said. “I never saw it as an excuse.”
By the second year of high school, she realized that she could not succeed in getting the further education she dreamed of without getting help to go beyond what her current school could offer. She talked to teachers and counselors (辅导员) who helped her apply to summer community college classes, scholarships, and enrichment programs. And in 11th grade, when she enrolled at Jefferson High School, she decided to complete the rest of her school career there—a decision that meant taking a bus each morning at 4 a. m. and not getting home until 11 p. m.
Her perseverance and hard work paid off, however. When she poured the story of her life into her Harvard University college application, she was accepted.
Once Khadijah felt ready to tell her story it won her notice not only from college admissions boards but also from the news media, including Oprah, who introduced Khadijah on her show. Now as a successful student at Harvard, Khadijah continues to use the lessons of her extraordinary life to help and inspire other students.
4. What was Khadijah’s life like before she turned 18?
A. She was badly treated at home. B. She struggled with academics.
C. She had lived in various places. D. She often misbehaved at school.
5. How did Khadijah find confidence in herself again?
A. By hiding her circumstance from others. B. By working hard for academic success.
C. By being proud of her homeless background. D. By getting help from teachers and counselors.
6. Why did Khadijah apply for summer community college program?
A. To use her experience to inspire others. B. To get financial help from her teachers.
C. To realize her dream to go to university. D. To be admitted to Jefferson High School.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. Khadijah’s success in her academic pursuits. B. Khadijah’s experience of overcoming adversity.
C. Khadijah’s involvement in community service. D. Khadijah’s achievements at Harvard University.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. B

When the company OpenAI developed its new artificial intelligence (AI) program, ChatGPT, in late 2022, educators began to worry. ChatGPT could create text and it seemed that 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 seeing 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.
8. What’s the author’s main concern about ChatGPT?
A. Whether it will lead to students’ cheating.
B. Whether it will write articles like humans.
C. How students will make use of it at school.
D. What effects it will have on students’ writing.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. What may the author think of the bot’s reply to his question?
A. Satisfactory. B. One-sided.
C. Ambiguous. D. Unacceptable.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了ChatGPT对学生写作的影响及其潜在问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“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 seeing writing as a tool for thinking. (作为一名研究科技对人们阅读、写作和思考方式影响的语言学家,我认为除了作弊之外,还有其他更紧迫的问题。这些问题包括人工智能是否会威胁到学生的写作技能,写作作为一个过程的价值,以及将写作视为一种思考工具的重要性)”可知,作者更关注它对学生写作会产生什么影响。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“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.” (哲学家Evan Selinger担心,预测性短信会削弱作为一种精神活动和个人表达形式的写作的力量。Selinger写道,通过鼓励我们不要太过深入地思考自己的语言,预测技术可能会改变我们对待彼此的方式,“我们给了别人更多的算法,却少了自己。”自动化可以阻止我们思考,生成的文本感觉不再是我的了。”)”可知,Evan Selinger认为预测性文本输入技术让表达出的自我更少,自动化会阻止我们思考,生成的文本也不再像自己写的,所以预测性技术会让我们像机器一样写作。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“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.” (机器人回答说:“对创造性的原创内容的需求总是存在的,这需要人类作家的独特观点。”它还说:“除了创造内容之外,写作还有很多目的,比如自我表达、交流和个人成长,即使某些类型的写作可以自动化,这也会继续鼓励人们写作。”)”可知,虽然未来有些写作会实现自动化,但是那些原创、个性化的写作永远是需要的。由此推知,人类完成的写作很重要,机器无法取而代之。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I was glad to find the program had seemingly admitted its limitations. (我很高兴地发现,这个项目似乎已经承认了它的局限性)” 可知,作者对ChatGPT的回答是满意的。故选A。
D
Over the past 300 years,1.5 billion hectares of forest have been lost, resulting in biodiversity loss, desertification, and increased flooding risks.
In the book Treewilding, ecologist Jake Robinson explains while the solution to forest clearing might appear straightforward — simply plant millions of trees — the reality is far more confusing. Random tree planting can threaten ecosystems and the livelihoods of local communities.
This engaging book mainly reveals how well-developed approaches are required — one that integrates the latest scientific advancements, for instance. Treewilding asks us to reflect on our interconnectedness with the woods, a realization that is perhaps the biggest “secret” to restoring nature.
Tree-planting initiatives have exploded since the turn of the century. Globally, the area of planted forests rose from 170 million hectares in 1990 to 293 million hectares in 2020. However, unless thoroughly researched and well organized, tree planting can backfire.
Often, only one type of tree is planted across pieces of land. This reduces biodiversity, in terms of plant species and the wildlife and microorganisms (微生物) associated with them. Because trees of the same species can all fall victim to the same diseases, a whole forest can be wiped out at once. Moreover, non-native trees can win out over local species, disturbing the local balanced ecosystems.
To solve environmental crises, Robinson advocates a more informed strategy. He speaks to Forrest Fleischman, a specialist in forest and environmental policy, who highlights how local people depend on forests for highly self-sufficient agricultural activities. Fleischman also proposes that locals know well what species are best suited to the environment and how these species are interconnected with the local wildlife and ecosystem.
The author also describes the concept of ecoacoustics (生态声学) . The approach uses the sounds made by organisms including birds and bats to explore the composition of and changes in ecosystems. Working with ecoacoustics specialist Carlos Abrahams Robinson concludes that as forests are recovered, the number of animals hidden in the soil increases, producing an “underground soundscape — a hidden symphony of life”.
Robinson ultimately emphasizes natural regeneration — just as a phoenix (a mythical bird) is reborn from its own ashes, a damaged forest can regenerate itself.
12. What is the main focus of Jake Robinson’s Treewilding?
A. The importance of technology in modern agriculture.
B. The changes of global forests over the past 300 years.
C. Major benefits of maintaining healthy ecosystems.
D. Effective methods in solving the loss of forests.
13. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “backfire” in paragraph 4?
A. Lead to negative outcomes. B. Produce predictable results.
C. Facilitate relevant initiatives. D. Encourage sustainable growth.
14. What might Fleischman expect tree-planting organizers to do?
A. Increase the number of non-native species.
B. Standardize planting practices across different regions.
C. Take account of natives’ knowledge in planting processes.
D. Encourage locals to adopt advanced agricultural methods.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Forest Clearing Poses a Serious Threat to Us
B. Repairing Forests Is More Than Just Planting Trees
C. Natural Regeneration Is the Key to Ecosystem Restoration
D. The Underground Soundscape Allows Us to Know Nature Better
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章文章介绍了随机植树的潜在问题,强调了科学植树的重要性,并探讨了生态声学及自然再生在森林恢复中的作用。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In the book Treewilding, ecologist Jake Robinson explains while the solution to forest clearing might appear straightforward — simply plant millions of trees — the reality is far more confusing. Random tree planting can threaten ecosystems and the livelihoods of local communities.(在《Treewilding》一书中,生态学家杰克·罗宾逊解释说,虽然解决森林砍伐问题的方法似乎很简单——只需种植数百万棵树——但现实要复杂得多。随意植树会威胁生态系统和当地社区的生计)”和第三段中“This engaging book mainly reveals how well-developed approaches are required — one that integrates the latest scientific advancements, for instance.(这本引人入胜的书主要揭示了需要采用成熟的方法——例如,一种融合了最新科学进展的方法)”可知,Jake Robinson在《Treewilding》一书中介绍了解决森林砍伐问题看似简单,但现实要复杂得多,需要使用融合了最新科学成果的成熟方法来处理。所以,这本书主要关注的是解决森林砍伐导致的森林减少问题的有效方法。故选D项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“However, unless thoroughly researched and well organized, tree planting can backfire.(然而,除非进行彻底的调查和组织,否则植树可能会……)”和下文“Often, only one type of tree is planted across pieces of land. This reduces biodiversity, in terms of plant species and the wildlife and microorganisms (微生物) associated with them. Because trees of the same species can all fall victim to the same diseases, a whole forest can be wiped out at once. Moreover, non native trees can win out over local species, disturbing the local balanced ecosystems.(通常,在一片片土地上只种植一种树。这会减少生物多样性,包括植物物种以及与之相关的野生动物和微生物。因为同一物种的树木都可能成为同一种疾病的受害者,整个森林可能会一下子被摧毁。此外,外来树木可能会胜过本地物种,扰乱当地的生态平衡)”中对随意植树带来的不良后果的介绍可推知,如果没有经过彻底的调查和组织就随意植树,植树就会“导致负面的结果”,所以backfire与意思一致A项“Lead to negative outcomes.”。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“He speaks to Forrest Fleischman, a specialist in forest and environmental policy, who highlights how local people depend on forests for highly self sufficient agricultural activities. Fleischman also proposes that locals know well what species are best suited to the environment and how these species are interconnected with the local wildlife and ecosystem.(他与森林和环境政策专家福雷斯特·弗莱施曼交谈,弗莱施曼强调了当地人如何依靠森林进行高度自给自足的农业活动。弗莱施曼还提出,当地人很清楚哪些物种最适合当地环境,以及这些物种与当地野生动物和生态系统是如何相互关联的)”可知,弗莱施曼认为当地人很清楚哪些物种最适合当地环境,以及这些物种与当地野生动物和生态系统是如何相互关联的,由此推知,他会希望植树组织者在植树过程中考虑当地人的知识。故选C项。
15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第二段中“In the book Treewilding, ecologist Jake Robinson explains while the solution to forest clearing might appear straightforward — simply plant millions of trees — the reality is far more confusing. Random tree planting can threaten ecosystems and the livelihoods of local communities.(在《Treewilding》一书中,生态学家杰克·罗宾逊解释说,虽然解决森林砍伐问题的方法似乎很简单——只需种植数百万棵树——但现实要复杂得多。随意植树会威胁生态系统和当地社区的生计)”以及后面提到植树要考虑科学成果、当地人的知识、采用生态声学等多种因素来解决森林问题,而不只是单纯种树。所以“Repairing Forests Is More Than Just Planting Trees(修复森林不仅仅是种树)”能概括文章主旨,最适合做文章标题。故选B项。

47. 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。
Price of a Miracle
Only a very costly operation could save him now and it was looking like there was no one to lend them the money. She heard Dad say to her tearful mom with desperation, “Only a miracle can save him now.”
Tess went to her bedroom and poured all the change she had saved out on the floor and counted it carefully: 47 cents. She slipped out of home and made her way to Rexall’s Drug Store. She waited patiently for the pharmacist (药剂师) to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. Finally, she took a quarter from her pocket and banged it on the glass counter. That did it! “And what do you want?” the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago Medical University whom I haven’t seen in ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question.
“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone.“He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.”
“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said, softening a little. “Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn’t enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs.” Tess answered with a blind faith.
The pharmacist’s brother was a well-dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?” “I don’t know,” Tess replied with her eyes welling up.
“I just know he’s really sick and Mom says he needs an operation. But my dad can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.”
注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
“How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago.

【答案】参考范文:
“How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago. “47 cents!” Tess replied without any hesitation. To her surprise, the man said that he was a doctor and that it was a fair price for a miracle. Overcome with excitement, Tess grasped his hand, leading him to her home. With doubt and hope, Dad and Mom had Andrew checked by the man, who declared that he would perform an operation on the boy and promised it wouldn’t be long before he could pick himself up. Hearing his words, the whole family burst into tears of joy.
The operation was completed. Hardly had Andrew been sent back home when his parents went to thank the doctor with Tess, for they knew that 47 cents was a joke for an operation. They promised to save enough money to pay for the bill only to be told that Tess had paid for it.“It’s a fair deal," the doctor explained to the parents, and then looked into Tess’s eyes, smiling, “47 cents was what it cost—plus the faith of a little girl.”
【解析】

By the time she turned 18, Khadijah Williams had attended twelve schools. She had lived in shelters, in parks, and in motels, never in a permanent residence for more than a few months. She had tolerated the blames of students who considered her as “different”.
Homeless since early childhood, Khadijah struggled all her life to hide her circumstances from teachers and fellow students. However, academics proved to be a way for her to find confidence in herself again. For instance, at the age of 9, she placed in the 99th percentile on a state exam, and her teacher told her she was “gifted”. From that moment forward, Khadijah decided to do whatever it took to keep herself in that category. “I was so proud of being smart. I never wanted people to say, ‘You got the easy way out because you’re homeless,’” she said. “I never saw it as an excuse.”
By the second year of high school, she realized that she could not succeed in getting the further education she dreamed of without getting help to go beyond what her current school could offer. She talked to teachers and counselors (辅导员) who helped her apply to summer community college classes, scholarships, and enrichment programs. And in 11th grade, when she enrolled at Jefferson High School, she decided to complete the rest of her school career there—a decision that meant taking a bus each morning at 4 a. m. and not getting home until 11 p. m.
Her perseverance and hard work paid off, however. When she poured the story of her life into her Harvard University college application, she was accepted.
Once Khadijah felt ready to tell her story, it won her notice not only from college admissions boards but also from the news media, including Oprah, who introduced Khadijah on her show. Now as a successful student at Harvard, Khadijah continues to use the lessons of her extraordinary life to help and inspire other students.

6. Why did Khadijah apply for summer community college program?

When the company OpenAI developed its new artificial intelligence (AI) program, ChatGPT, in late 2022, educators began to worry. ChatGPT could create text and it seemed that 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 seeing 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.
8. What’s the author’s main concern about ChatGPT?
A. Whether it will lead to students’ cheating.
B. Whether it will write articles like humans.
C. How students will make use of it at school.
D. What effects it will have on students’ writing.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. What may the author think of the bot’s reply to his question?
A. Satisfactory. B. One-sided.
C. Ambiguous. D. Unacceptable.
D
Over the past 300 years,1.5 billion hectares of forest have been lost, resulting in biodiversity loss, desertification, and increased flooding risks.
In the book Treewilding, ecologist Jake Robinson explains while the solution to forest clearing might appear straightforward — simply plant millions of trees — the reality is far more confusing. Random tree planting can threaten ecosystems and the livelihoods of local communities.
This engaging book mainly reveals how well-developed approaches are required — one that integrates the latest scientific advancements, for instance. Treewilding asks us to reflect on our interconnectedness with the woods, a realization that is perhaps the biggest “secret” to restoring nature.
Tree-planting initiatives have exploded since the turn of the century. Globally, the area of planted forests rose from 170 million hectares in 1990 to 293 million hectares in 2020. However, unless thoroughly researched and well organized, tree planting can backfire.
Often, only one type of tree is planted across pieces of land. This reduces biodiversity, in terms of plant species and the wildlife and microorganisms (微生物) associated with them. Because trees of the same species can all fall victim to the same diseases, a whole forest can be wiped out at once. Moreover, non-native trees can win out over local species, disturbing the local balanced ecosystems.
To solve environmental crises, Robinson advocates a more informed strategy. He speaks to Forrest Fleischman, a specialist in forest and environmental policy, who highlights how local people depend on forests for highly self-sufficient agricultural activities. Fleischman also proposes that locals know well what species are best suited to the environment and how these species are interconnected with the local wildlife and ecosystem.
The author also describes the concept of ecoacoustics (生态声学) . The approach uses the sounds made by organisms including birds and bats to explore the composition of and changes in ecosystems. Working with ecoacoustics specialist Carlos Abrahams, Robinson concludes that as forests are recovered, the number of animals hidden in the soil increases, producing an “underground soundscape — a hidden symphony of life”.
Robinson ultimately emphasizes natural regeneration — just as a phoenix (a mythical bird) is reborn from its own ashes, a damaged forest can regenerate itself.
12. What is the main focus of Jake Robinson’s Treewilding?
A. The importance of technology in modern agriculture.
B. The changes of global forests over the past 300 years.
C. Major benefits of maintaining healthy ecosystems.
D. Effective methods in solving the loss of forests.
13. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “backfire” in paragraph 4?
A. Lead to negative outcomes. B. Produce predictable results.
C. Facilitate relevant initiatives. D. Encourage sustainable growth.
14. What might Fleischman expect tree-planting organizers to do?
A. Increase the number of non-native species.
B Standardize planting practices across different regions.
C. Take account of natives’ knowledge in planting processes.
D. Encourage locals to adopt advanced agricultural methods.
15 What can be the best title for the text?
A. Forest Clearing Poses a Serious Threat to Us
B. Repairing Forests Is More Than Just Planting Trees
C. Natural Regeneration Is the Key to Ecosystem Restoration
D. The Underground Soundscape Allows Us to Know Nature Better

Price of a Miracle
Only a very costly operation could save him now and it was looking like there was no one to lend them the money. She heard Dad say to her tearful mom with desperation, “Only a miracle can save him now.”
Tess went to her bedroom and poured all the change she had saved out on the floor and counted it carefully: 47 cents. She slipped out of home and made her way to Rexall’s Drug Store. She waited patiently for the pharmacist (药剂师) to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. Finally, she took a quarter from her pocket and banged it on the glass counter. That did it! “And what do you want?” the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago Medical University whom I haven’t seen in ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question.
“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone.“He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.”
“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said, softening a little. “Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn’t enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs.” Tess answered with a blind faith.
The pharmacist’s brother was a well-dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?” “I don’t know,” Tess replied with her eyes welling up.
“I just know he’s really sick and Mom says he needs an operation. But my dad can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.”
注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
“How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago.
