Sora: OpenAl will now let you create videos from verbal cues
Artificial intelligence leader OpenAI introduced a new AI model ____17____ (call) Sora which it claims ____18____ create “realistic” and “imaginative” 60-second videos from quick text instructions. In a blog posted on Wednesday, the company said Sora is capable of ____19____ (generate) videos up to 60 seconds in length from text instructions, serving up scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and detailed background details.
This is ____20____(late) effort from the company behind the viral chatbot ChatGPT, ____21____ continues to push the generative AI movement forward. ____22____ “multi-modal models” are not new and text-to-video models already exist, what sets this apart is the length and accuracy that OpenAI claims Sora to have, according to Reece Hayden. Hayden said these types of AI models can have a big impact ____23____ digital entertainment.
Sora ____24____ (make) available to online security professors soon in order to assess the product for harms or risks. It is also granting access to ____25____ number of visual artists, designers and filmmakers to collect feedback on ____26____ creative professionals could use it.
Section B

A. signal B. experience C.active D. nearly E.store F. typical G. keep H. protection I. survive J. fairly K.set
Some desert animals can ____27____ the summer heat and dryness because they are very unusual. The camel, for example, can experience and bear an increase in the temperature of its body and its blood of 9℃ without anything bad happening to it. In addition, it can drink a lot of water at one time; then ____28____ enough water in parts of its body to supply its needs for two weeks or more. The kangaroo rat, on the other hand, gets all the water from its food . However, most animals need to maintain a ____29____ constant body temperature, and will die if it rises more than 5℃. Therefore, they need to find some way to stay away from the heat of the summer sun. Nor can many animals either store or produce water in their bodies, as the camel and kangaroo rat can. So they must find ways to ____30____ their bodies from losing water because of the heat. Because very few desert animals can survive the high temperature of a ____31____ summer’s day, most of them are ____32____ only in the night. The desert comes fully to life only after the Sun has ____33____. The night is relatively cool, and the darkness provides ____34____, not only from the Sun, but also from other animals and from the birds. So the coming of darkness is the ____35____ for the large majority of animals and insects to start again their search for water and food. When morning comes, most of them seek shelter again: many go underground; ____36____ all find some dark and cool places where they can keep away from the sun’s heat.
III.Reading Comprehension (37 – 46题,每题1分;47 – 58题,每题2分;共34分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
There are lots of books to help people learn how to read literature. I personally didn’t ____37____ very much of How to Read Literature Like a Professor, but I know it was ____38____ a few years ago as an introduction on how to think about literature.
I would strongly suggest staying away from things that aren’t from your culture until you are better at reading literature because there is going to be a lot you don’t ____39____ as an outsider. You won’t have ____40____ to the same cultural traditions or symbols to understand the literature. Until you feel like you’ve strengthened yourself as a ____41____, stick to books from cultures you know very well or yourself ____42____. I, for instance, didn’t know anything about Nigeria, or Africa in general, when I first read Things Fall Apart by China Achebe, and now every time I reread it, I’m amazed at my own ignorance. Or even, like, Lord of the Flies. I didn’t know anything about the boarding school adventure genre (类型), so it was just a ____43____ story to me when it was first given to me.
And lastly, remember that you will just get better at ____44____. The more you read and the older you are. You will have more experiences to relate literature with and you will have more ____45____ working with the symbols and cultural references in literature. It’s less of a journey than it is a process — there isn’t a destination where you ____46____ and you’re suddenly good at literature.
37. A. read B. think C. know D. order
38. A. illegal B. expensive C. unusual D. popular
39. A. need B. possess C. recognize D. understand

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Holidays can be enjoyable and relaxing. But sometimes a holiday can change your life completely, which is what happened two years ago to Victoria Smith and Sally Gook.
Victoria Smith, six years ago, was working as a manager at Next, a British chain store. Then she went on holiday to Borneo. “It was a working holiday,” said Victoria, “Where you could study the orangutan in the wild — I have always been interested in apes, so I thought it would be fun.” The holiday was wonderful, and when Victoria came home she found it very difficult to return to her old life. Although everybody told her she was mad, she decided to go back to university and study biology. Four years later, she became a chimpanzee keeper.
For the last two years Victoria has been working at Monkey World, a centre in southwest England that looks after apes which used to be ill-treated. She works long hours, and the pay isn’t very good, but she loves it. “I’m really happy now. Since I started working here, I feel that I’ve been doing something important, not just wasting my life.”
Sally Gook wakes up every morning to a deep blue sky and blazing sun. For the last two years she has been living on the tiny Greek island of Lipsi, which is only 16 square kilometres in size and has a population of just 650.
But until a few years ago she lived in London. “I was working for American Express, and I had a good social life and earned a lot of money. But I had to get up very early every morning, often in horrible weather, and got a train and the tube to work.”
Then one day she and a friend decided they needed a relaxing holiday, and they came to Lipsi. “I loved it — the people, the mountains, the sun, and the delicious food. Suddenly I knew there was a different life waiting for me here.” A few months later she applied for a job at the travel company which had organised her holiday. Since then, she has been living on Lipsi and working as a tourist guide. Sally said, “I’ve only been back to London once, and I can’t imagine ever living there again.”
47. What can be learned from the passage about Victoria Smith?
A. She hesitated over whether to become a chimpanzee keeper.
B. She quit her job as a manager regardless of others’ objection.
C. She finally chose to work and live in Borneo.
D. She felt it unnecessary to work long hours.
48. The underlined words “the orangutan” in Paragraph 2 most probably refers to“_________”.
A. a chain store B. a holiday resort
C. a kind of animal D. a zoo for wildlife
49. Which of the following is TRUE about Sally Gook’s former job?
A. She didn’t earn much. B. She worked as a tourist guide.
C. She often went to Greece on business. D. She spent much time on the way to work.
50. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How the two girls’ holidays changed their life.
B. Why the two girls preferred to live outside cities.
C. How the two girls planned their holidays.
D. Why holidays were enjoyable and relaxing for the two girls.
(B)
Would you hang out with R2-D2 if you got the chance? In the Star Wars movies, droids appear to form meaningful friendships with people. In real life, however, robots can’t actually care about anyone or anything--at least, not yet. Today’s robots can’t feel emotions. They also have no self-awareness. But that doesn’t mean they can’t act friendly in ways that help and support people.
Relating to robots can have its benefits. Other people won’t always be available when someone needs to talk or get a hug. The COVID-19 pandemic taught us all how difficult it can be when it’s not safe to spend time in person with our loved ones. Although not ideal companions, social robots might be better than no one.
Robots also can’t understand what people are saying or going through, so they can’t empathize. But they don’t really have to. Most people talk to their pets even though these animals don’t understand the words. The fact that an animal can react with a purr or a wagging tail is often enough to help someone feel a bit less lonely. Robots can serve a similar purpose.
Similarly, robot hugs will never feel the same as actually hugging a loved one. However, mechanical hugs do have some upsides. Asking for a hug from someone,especially someone who is not a very close friend or family member, may feel scary or awkward. “A robot, however, is just there to help you for whatever you need,” says Block, a roboticist who built a machine that gives hugs. “It can’t care about you, but it also can’t judge or reject you.”
Perhaps someday, someone will build a true R2-D2. Until then, social robots offer a new and interesting type of relationship. “Robots could be like friends,” says Robillard, a neuroscientist and expert in brain-health technology, “but also like a toy--and like a tool.”
51. What does the author think of a social robot according to Paragraph 2?
A. It is a perfect friend. B. It is an interesting toy.
C. It does more harm than good. D. It is better than nothing.
52 Why does the author mention pets in Paragraph 3?
A. To prove robots can understand people.
B. To show robots can perform a social function.
C. To show robots are smarter than animals.
D. To prove robots react to people’s needs.
53. What’s Block’s attitude towards robots?
A. Confused. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Ambiguous.
54. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Do Robots Have Emotions? B. Are Robots Our Toys or Tools?
C. Can Robots Be Our Friends? D. Do Robots Have Self-awareness?
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. Good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship, improves self-worth and promotes good health. There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our jobs or schools. Such changes often leave us without a friend. ____55____ But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.
1.Associate with others.
The first step to making friends is associating with other people. ____56____ Besides, you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member of such places.
2.Start a conversation
Starting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends.Do not wait to be spoken to.You can always start the conversation. Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating with other people.
3 ___57___
Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests would always bring you and your friend together. Hanging out will always be a pleasant experience.
4. Let it grow.
It is a good thing to stay in touch. However try not to press your new friend with calls, messages or visits as this would likely wear him or her out and finally you may lose your friend. So you will need to give your friend time to react to you. ____58____
5. Enjoy your friendship
The best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves.Try not to find fault with your friends.Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be. Become the kind of friend you will want your friend to be to you.
A. Do things together.
B. You can go to public places to meet new people.
C. Making new friends comes easy for some people.
D. For a friendship to develop you need to stay in touch.
E. The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally.
F. So you will need to give your friend time to react to you.

In addition, it can drink a lot of water at one time; then ____28____ enough water in parts of its body to supply its needs for two weeks or more.

Therefore, they need to find some way to stay away from the heat of the summer sun. Nor can many animals either store or produce water in their bodies, as the camel and kangaroo rat can. So they must find ways to ____30____ their bodies from losing water because of the heat. Because very few desert animals can survive the high temperature of a ____31____ summer’s day, most of them are ____32____ only in the night. The desert comes fully to life only after the Sun has ____33____. The night is relatively cool, and the darkness provides ____34____, not only from the Sun, but also from other animals and from the birds. So the coming of darkness is the ____35____ for the large majority of animals and insects to start again their search for water and food. When morning comes, most of them seek shelter again: many go underground; ____36____ all find some dark and cool places where they can keep away from the sun’s heat.

Holidays can be enjoyable and relaxing. But sometimes a holiday can change your life completely, which is what happened two years ago to Victoria Smith and Sally Gook.
Victoria Smith, six years ago, was working as a manager at Next, a British chain store. Then she went on holiday to Borneo. “It was a working holiday,” said Victoria, “Where you could study the orangutan in the wild — I have always been interested in apes, so I thought it would be fun.” The holiday was wonderful, and when Victoria came home she found it very difficult to return to her old life. Although everybody told her she was mad, she decided to go back to university and study biology. Four years later, she became a chimpanzee keeper.
For the last two years Victoria has been working at Monkey World, a centre in southwest England that looks after apes which used to be ill-treated. She works long hours, and the pay isn’t very good, but she loves it. “I’m really happy now. Since I started working here, I feel that I’ve been doing something important, not just wasting my life.”
Sally Gook wakes up every morning to a deep blue sky and blazing sun. For the last two years she has been living on the tiny Greek island of Lipsi, which is only 16 square kilometres in size and has a population of just 650.
But until a few years ago she lived in London. “I was working for American Express, and I had a good social life and earned a lot of money. But I had to get up very early every morning, often in horrible weather, and got a train and the tube to work.”
Then one day she and a friend decided they needed a relaxing holiday, and they came to Lipsi. “I loved it — the people, the mountains, the sun, and the delicious food. Suddenly I knew there was a different life waiting for me here.” A few months later she applied for a job at the travel company which had organised her holiday. Since then, she has been living on Lipsi and working as a tourist guide. Sally said, “I’ve only been back to London once, and I can’t imagine ever living there again.”
47. What can be learned from the passage about Victoria Smith?
A. She hesitated over whether to become a chimpanzee keeper.
B. She quit her job as a manager regardless of others’ objection.
C. She finally chose to work and live in Borneo.
D. She felt it unnecessary to work long hours.
48. The underlined words “the orangutan” in Paragraph 2 most probably refers to“_________”.
A. a chain store B. a holiday resort
C. a kind of animal D. a zoo for wildlife
49. Which of the following is TRUE about Sally Gook’s former job?
A. She didn’t earn much. B. She worked as a tourist guide.
C. She often went to Greece on business. D. She spent much time on the way to work.
50. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How the two girls’ holidays changed their life.
B. Why the two girls preferred to live outside cities.
C. How the two girls planned their holidays.
D. Why holidays were enjoyable and relaxing for the two girls.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了维多利亚・史密斯和萨莉・古克的假期如何彻底改变了她们的生活,一个从商店经理转变为黑猩猩饲养员,另一个从伦敦的白领变成希腊小岛的导游。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Victoria Smith, six years ago, was working as a manager at Next, a British chain store.(六年前,维多利亚·史密斯在英国连锁商店Next担任经理)”以及“Although everybody told her she was mad, she decided to go back to university and study biology. Four years later, she became a chimpanzee keeper.(尽管每个人都说她疯了,但她决定回到大学学习生物学。四年后,她成为了一名黑猩猩饲养员)”可知,她不顾别人的反对辞去了经理的工作。故选B项。
【48题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段““It was a working holiday,” said Victoria, “where you could study the orangutan in the wild — I have always been interested in apes, so I thought it would be fun. (“这是一个工作假期,”维多利亚说,“在那里你可以研究野外的____,我一直对类人猿很感兴趣,所以我觉得这会很有趣)”可知,“study the orangutan in the wild”说明 orangutan是可以在野外被观察和研究的对象,通常为野生动物;后文紧接着提到“I have always been interested in apes”说明orangutan属于ape(类人猿)的一种,由此可推知,orangutan是一种动物。故选C项。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“But I had to get up very early every morning, often in horrible weather, and got a train and the tube to work.(但我每天早上都得很早起床,而且经常天气恶劣,还要坐火车和地铁去上班)”可知,很早就得起床上班说明上班路上花时间很多。故选D项。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Holidays can be enjoyable and relaxing. But sometimes a holiday can change your life completely, which is what happened two years ago to Victoria Smith and Sally Gook.(假期可以是愉快和放松的。但有时一个假期可以彻底改变你的生活,就像两年前发生在维多利亚・史密斯和萨莉・古克身上的那样)”可知,本文主要讲了两个女孩的假期如何改变了她们的生活的故事。故选A项。
(B)
Would you hang out with R2-D2 if you got the chance? In the Star Wars movies, droids appear to form meaningful friendships with people. In real life, however, robots can’t actually care about anyone or anything--at least, not yet. Today’s robots can’t feel emotions. They also have no self-awareness. But that doesn’t mean they can’t act friendly in ways that help and support people.
Relating to robots can have its benefits. Other people won’t always be available when someone needs to talk or get a hug. The COVID-19 pandemic taught us all how difficult it can be when it’s not safe to spend time in person with our loved ones. Although not ideal companions, social robots might be better than no one.
Robots also can’t understand what people are saying or going through, so they can’t empathize. But they don’t really have to. Most people talk to their pets even though these animals don’t understand the words. The fact that an animal can react with a purr or a wagging tail is often enough to help someone feel a bit less lonely. Robots can serve a similar purpose.
Similarly, robot hugs will never feel the same as actually hugging a loved one. However, mechanical hugs do have some upsides. Asking for a hug from someone,especially someone who is not a very close friend or family member, may feel scary or awkward. “A robot, however, is just there to help you for whatever you need,” says Block, a roboticist who built a machine that gives hugs. “It can’t care about you, but it also can’t judge or reject you.”
Perhaps someday, someone will build a true R2-D2. Until then, social robots offer a new and interesting type of relationship. “Robots could be like friends,” says Robillard, a neuroscientist and expert in brain-health technology, “but also like a toy--and like a tool.”
51. What does the author think of a social robot according to Paragraph 2?
A. It is a perfect friend. B. It is an interesting toy.
C. It does more harm than good. D. It is better than nothing.
52. Why does the author mention pets in Paragraph 3?
A. To prove robots can understand people.
B. To show robots can perform a social function.
C. To show robots are smarter than animals.
D. To prove robots react to people’s needs.
53. What’s Block’s attitude towards robots?
A. Confused. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Ambiguous.
54. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Do Robots Have Emotions? B. Are Robots Our Toys or Tools?
C. Can Robots Be Our Friends? D. Do Robots Have Self-awareness?
【答案】51. D 52. B 53. C 54. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了机器人是否能够成为人类的朋友这一话题,表明社交机器人虽无情感,但能给人类提供陪伴和支持,带来一定的情绪价值和帮助。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Although not ideal companions, social robots might be better than no one.(社交机器人虽非理想伴侣,但总比没有强。)”可知,作者认为社交机器人要好过无人陪伴。故选D。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The fact that an animal can react with a purr or a wagging tail is often enough to help someone feel a bit less lonely. Robots can serve a similar purpose.(动物能通过咕噜声或摇尾巴做出回应的事实往往足以帮助人们减轻些许孤独感,而机器人也能起到类似的作用。)”可知,作者提到宠物时为了表明机器人也能够发挥社交功能。故选B。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““A robot, however, is just there to help you for whatever you need,” says Block, a roboticist who built a machine that gives hugs. “It can’t care about you, but it also can’t judge or reject you.”(“然而,机器人只是在那里为你提供你需要的任何帮助,”制造出拥抱机器的机器人专家布洛克说道,“它无法真正关心你,但也绝不会评判或拒绝你。”)”可知,布洛克认为机器人既不能真心关心你,但也不会评判或拒绝你,只是提供你所需要的帮助,可见他持有客观的态度。故选C。
【54题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Would you hang out with R2-D2 if you got the chance?(如果有机会,你会和R2-D2一起出去玩吗?)”、“But that doesn’t mean they can’t act friendly in ways that help and support people.(但这并不意味着他们不能以友好的方式帮助和支持人们。)”和最后一段““Robots could be like friends,” says Robillard, a neuroscientist and expert in brain-health technology, “but also like a toy--and like a tool.”(“机器人可以像朋友一样,”脑健康技术专家、神经科学家罗比拉德说,“也可以像玩具——或者工具。”)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要探讨了机器人是否能够成为人类的朋友这一话题,表明社交机器人虽无情感,但能给人类提供陪伴和支持,带来一定的情绪价值和帮助。所以最佳标题为“机器人能成为我们的朋友吗?”。故选C。

【详解】考查介词和短语。despite表示“尽管”,是介词,后面加名词,“尽管有暴风雨”应用Despite the storm表达,本句主语是the workers ,谓语动词是try,这里是描述过去发生的事实,应该用一般过去时,即tried。“尽最大努力做某事”用try one's best to do sth表达。“按时”用on time表达。结合句子其他部分,故翻译成Despite the storm, the workers still tried their best to complete the project on time。
62. 这段长达14公里的城墙最初是为御敌而建,如今已成为举世闻名的历史古迹。(defend)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】This 14-kilometer-long wall, originally built to defend against enemies, has now become a world-famous historic site.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态、非谓语动词和固定短语。主语“这段长达14公里的城墙”译为This 14-kilometer-long wall,“为御敌”表目的,且enemy在此为泛指,需用复数形式enemies,译为to defend against enemies,“最初”是副词,译为originally。为使句子简洁,用过去分词短语作定语。“最初是为御敌而建”译为built to defend against enemies。“如今已成为举世闻名的历史古迹”中,“已成为”强调过去动作对现在造成的结果和影响,故使用现在完成时has become, “举世闻名的”译为固定短语world-famous作定语, “历史古迹”译为historic site。故翻译为:This 14-kilometer-long wall, originally built to defend against enemies, has now become a world-famous historic site.

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Student Union,
I am writing to provide some feedback on the morning exercise routine that has been implemented in our school since October. There have been some concerns regarding the intensity of exercise. Many students have reported feeling physically uncomfortable. This strenuous routine may be too demanding for some students, especially those who are not accustomed to such intense exercise.
In light of these concerns, I would like to propose some suggestions. Firstly, the school can vary the types to cater to different fitness levels. This could include alternatives to push-ups and planks such as jogging, stretching, or other less intense sports. Secondly, students can be allowed to choose their preferred sports within a given range. These modifications would not only address the physical discomfort experienced by some students but also promote a more inclusive and enjoyable exercise routine for all.
I hope these suggestions will be considered.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
