Diogenes Diogenes (412 BC—323 BC) was an intelligent man in ancient Europe. For him, the way to be happy was to own as few things as possible. He only had three things—his clothes, a lantern (灯笼) and a bowl to eat with, but he was very happy. One day, Diogenes saw a boy drinking water from his hands by a river, and then he threw away his bowl. Diogenes used to walk through the city with his lantern during the day. When people asked him why he carried the lantern, he would hold it up to their faces, look at them and say, “I’m looking for an honest man.” (See a ) Whales Whales are the largest animals on Earth and they live in every ocean. The first fossil whales are found in rocks around 50 million years old. Some are 30 metres long and some are as heavy as 33 elephants. Whales are not fish. They live in the water, but they breathe air. Like humans, they are warm-blooded mammals (哺乳动物). Whales produce sounds that can be heard for miles underwater. They often use calls to sense (感知) the environment and to talk with each other. Nowadays, some kinds of whales are in danger, even after years of protection. People kill at least 300,000 whales and dolphins each year by fishing. (See b ) 26. According to the first article “Diogenes”, Diogenes ________. A. carried his lantern because it was dark B. gave his bowl to the boy by the river C. encouraged people to live an easy life D. thought no one was honest in the world 27. What does the underlined word “they” in the second article refer to? A. mammals B. fish C. humans D. whales 28. Which of the following words can be put into “a” and “b” separately (分别地)? A. People; Science B. Art; Science C. Art; Earth history D. People; Earth history 【答案】26. C 27. D 28. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了《百科全书》中的两篇文章，一个是关于智者过着简单的生活，另一个是关于鲸鱼的相关信息。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据“For him, the way to be happy was to own as few things as possible.”可知，对他来说，快乐的方式就是拥有尽可能少的东西，故推出Diogenes鼓励人们过轻松的生活。故选C。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Whales are not fish. They live in the water, but they breathe air. Like humans, they are warm-blooded mammals (哺乳动物).”可知鲸鱼不是鱼。它们生活在水中，但呼吸空气，与人类一样，它们是哺乳动物，这里的“they”指代前面提到的“Whales”。故选D。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。第一篇文章“Diogenes”讲述的是第欧根尼的个人行为和哲学观点，属于人文领域，因此“a”处应填入“People”。第二篇文章“Whales”介绍了鲸鱼的生物学特征、进化历史和现状，属于科学领域，因此“b”处应填入“Science”。故选A。 （B） What’s On?

They do much more than just count things. They help us understand life and solve difficult problems. Science & Health Numbers keep us safe and healthy. Builders use special numbers like 3.14 (π) to make strong bridges that won’t fall down. Doctors use numbers like 37℃ (normal body temperature) and 60-100 beats per minute (normal heartbeat) to check health. ________ Numbers tell us about people. Did you know that Asia has around 4.8 billion people? That’s more than half of all people on Earth! Leaders use these numbers to decide how many schools to build. In bad times, numbers help decide how much food or medicine is needed. Stores even use numbers to know which products sell well. Everyday Uses We see numbers every day. When baking a cake, you need twice as much flour as sugar. At stores, a 20% discount means you can pay less money. On the road, signs like “60 km/h” tell drivers the maximum speed. Dates also use numbers, like “June 26th”. There are also some fun facts about numbers. People think differently about some numbers. In China, people believe that the number 8 means good fortune. Meanwhile, in some Western countries, people think 13 is unlucky. Numbers help us describe everything—from small things to huge stars. They are the world’s special language. 33.

However, over the next few months, Lipkin found herself with less and less work to do. In April, she lost her job with no explanation. She realized why she had lost her job later when she heard managers talking about how using ChatGPT was cheaper than hiring (雇用) a human writer. Lipkin was not alone. Eric Fein, a 34-year-old man in the U. S. state of Illinois, had been running a writing company for ten years. He became jobless last March. All his clients (客户) told him they no longer needed his services because they were turning to ChatGPT. Fein warned them that ChatGPT couldn’t write with his level of creativity. His clients said they understood, but it was far cheaper to use the chatbot (聊天机器人) than to pay him. Experts think that A. I. systems (人工智能系统) like ChatGPT could make hundreds of millions of people lose their jobs in the future. But for those who write posts and advertisements on the internet, the effect is already here. They also say that even the best A. I. systems can’t compare with the writing skills of a human. They don’t have personal voices or styles. Besides, they often give the wrong answers. After being replaced by ChatGPT, Fein and Lipkin decided to do a job that A. I. can’t do. “People are looking for the cheapest method, and that’s not a person—it’s a robot.” Lipkin says. 37. Why did Lipkin have less and less work to do? A. Because managers hired a new copywriter. B. Because she was not good at finishing her work. C. Because she used ChatGPT to complete her work. D. Because her managers gave more work to ChatGPT. 38. The writer used the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 to ________. A. list some numbers B. answer a question C. give another example D. express some feelings 39. Fein thought his writing services were better than those of ChatGPT in terms of (在……方面) ________. A. creativity B. cost C. personal style D. writing skills 40 Which of the following statements do experts agree with? A. A. I. systems like ChatGPT can be as good as humans in the writing skills. B. A. I. systems like ChatGPT may make many people lose jobs, and they have some disadvantages. C. Writers should learn to use A. I. systems like ChatGPT to keep their jobs. D. People can’t get right answers from A. I. systems like ChatGPT. 【答案】37. D 38. C 39. A 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了ChatGPT对文案写手等职业的影响，以及人工智能系统在写作领域的优势和局限性。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, over the next few months, Lipkin found herself with less and less work to do...She realized why she had lost her job later when she heard managers talking about how using ChatGPT was cheaper than hiring (雇用) a human writer.”可知，是因为她的经理把更多的工作交给了ChatGPT，ChatGPT比雇用人类作家更便宜。故选D。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Lipkin was not alone. Eric Fein, a 34-year-old man in the U. S. state of Illinois, had been running a writing company for ten years. He became jobless last March.”可知，作者用第二段中划线的句子是为了给出另一个例子，说明不只是Lipkin一个人因为ChatGPT失去了工作。故选C。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Fein warned them that ChatGPT couldn’t write with his level of creativity.”可知，Fein认为他的写作服务在创造力方面比ChatGPT更好。故选A。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Experts think that A. I. systems (人工智能系统) like ChatGPT could make hundreds of millions of people lose their jobs in the future. But for those who write posts and advertisements on the internet, the effect is already here. They also say that even the best A. I. systems can’t compare with the writing skills of a human. They don’t have personal voices or styles. Besides, they often give the wrong answers.”可知，专家认为像ChatGPT这样的人工智能系统未来可能会使数亿人失业。但对于那些在网上撰写帖子和广告的人来说，这种影响已然显现。专家还表示，即便是最出色的人工智能系统，其写作技能也无法与人类相提并论。它们没有个人化的表达或风格。此外，它们还经常给出错误答案。故选B。 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A~E选项，选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项，并在 答题卡上将该项涂黑。 What inventions do you think are the most important? Here are four important ones. Paper is one of the most important inventions in the world. It’s not easy for people to write without paper. ____41____ Cai Lun’s invention allowed people to write down information, stories and history on paper. The toilet is a simple and important invention. Before toilets, waste would go into the rivers from people’s homes. ____42____ However, with toilets, people can deal with their waste in a cleaner way. This has helped to make people less sick and keep cities cleaner. Another great invention is animal food. ____43____ But then, hay (干草) came along and became a popular and easy-to-get food for animals.

Diogenes Diogenes (412 BC—323 BC) was an intelligent man in ancient Europe. For him, the way to be happy was to own as few things as possible. He only had three things—his clothes, a lantern (灯笼) and a bowl to eat with, but he was very happy. One day, Diogenes saw a boy drinking water from his hands by a river, and then he threw away his bowl. Diogenes used to walk through the city with his lantern during the day. When people asked him why he carried the lantern, he would hold it up to their faces, look at them and say, “I’m looking for an honest man.” (See a ) Whales Whales are the largest animals on Earth and they live in every ocean. The first fossil whales are found in rocks around 50 million years old. Some are 30 metres long and some are as heavy as 33 elephants. Whales are not fish. They live in the water, but they breathe air. Like humans, they are warm-blooded mammals (哺乳动物). Whales produce sounds that can be heard for miles underwater. They often use calls to sense (感知) the environment and to talk with each other. Nowadays, some kinds of whales are in danger, even after years of protection. People kill at least 300,000 whales and dolphins each year by fishing. (See b ) 26. According to the first article “Diogenes”, Diogenes ________. A. carried his lantern because it was dark B. gave his bowl to the boy by the river C. encouraged people to live an easy life D. thought no one was honest in the world 27 What does the underlined word “they” in the second article refer to? A. mammals B. fish C. humans D. whales 28. Which of the following words can be put into “a” and “b” separately (分别地)? A. People; Science B. Art; Science C. Art; Earth history D.

B. All take place on the weekend. C. They all need paid tickets. D. All are connected with science （C） Numbers are everywhere in our world. They do much more than just count things. They help us understand life and solve difficult problems. Science & Health Numbers keep us safe and healthy. Builders use special numbers like 3.14 (π) to make strong bridges that won’t fall down. Doctors use numbers like 37℃ (normal body temperature) and 60-100 beats per minute (normal heartbeat) to check health. ________ Numbers tell us about people. Did you know that Asia has around 4.8 billion people? That’s more than half of all people on Earth! Leaders use these numbers to decide how many schools to build. In bad times, numbers help decide how much food or medicine is needed. Stores even use numbers to know which products sell well. Everyday Uses We see numbers every day. When baking a cake, you need twice as much flour as sugar. At stores, a 20% discount means you can pay less money. On the road, signs like “60 km/h” tell drivers the maximum speed. Dates also use numbers, like “June 26th”. There are also some fun facts about numbers. People think differently about some numbers. In China, people believe that the number 8 means good fortune. Meanwhile, in some Western countries, people think 13 is unlucky. Numbers help us describe everything—from small things to huge stars. They are the world’s special language. 33. Which of the following is best for “________”? A. Numbers in Art B. Numbers for Decisions C. Numbers and Cultures D. Numbers for Fun 34. Why do stores use numbers according to the passage? A. To make the prices of their products higher. B. To count how many products they have. C. To check if people pay the right money. D. To find out popular products easily. 35.

Numbers have different meanings in different cultures. D People use numbers to solve difficult scientific problems. 36. Where is this passage probably from? A. A magazine about daily science. B. A guidebook for travelling C. A sports news report. D. A storybook about magical numbers （D） When ChatGPT came out last November Olivia Lipkin, a copywriter (文案写手) in San Francisco, didn’t care too much about it. However, over the next few months, Lipkin found herself with less and less work to do. In April, she lost her job with no explanation. She realized why she had lost her job later when she heard managers talking about how using ChatGPT was cheaper than hiring (雇用) a human writer. Lipkin was not alone. Eric Fein, a 34-year-old man in the U. S. state of Illinois, had been running a writing company for ten years. He became jobless last March. All his clients (客户) told him they no longer needed his services because they were turning to ChatGPT. Fein warned them that ChatGPT couldn’t write with his level of creativity. His clients said they understood, but it was far cheaper to use the chatbot (聊天机器人) than to pay him. Experts think that A. I. systems (人工智能系统) like ChatGPT could make hundreds of millions of people lose their jobs in the future. But for those who write posts and advertisements on the internet, the effect is already here. They also say that even the best A. I. systems can’t compare with the writing skills of a human. They don’t have personal voices or styles. Besides, they often give the wrong answers. After being replaced by ChatGPT, Fein and Lipkin decided to do a job that A. I. can’t do. “People are looking for the cheapest method, and that’s not a person—it’s a robot.” Lipkin says. 37. Why did Lipkin have less and less work to do? A. Because managers hired a new copywriter. B. Because she was not good at finishing her work. C. Because she used ChatGPT to complete her work. D. Because her managers gave more work to ChatGPT. 38. The writer used the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 to ________. A. list some numbers B. answer a question C. give another example D. express some feelings 39. Fein thought his writing services were better than those of ChatGPT in terms of (在……方面) ________. A. creativity B. cost C. personal style D. writing skills 40. Which of the following statements do experts agree with? A. A. I. systems like ChatGPT can be as good as humans in the writing skills. B. A. I. systems like ChatGPT may make many people lose jobs, and they have some disadvantages. C. Writers should learn to use A. I. systems like ChatGPT to keep their jobs. D. People can’t get right answers from A. I. systems like ChatGPT. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A~E选项，选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项，并在 答题卡上将该项涂黑。 What inventions do you think are the most important? Here are four important ones. Paper is one of the most important inventions in the world.

This has helped to make people less sick and keep cities cleaner. Another great invention is animal food. ____43____ But then, hay (干草) came along and became a popular and easy-to-get food for animals. Then animals could live through the long winter. ____44____ When people are more than 45 years old, they often start having trouble seeing things up close. It is called far-sightedness (远视眼). This makes it hard to see things clearly that are close to them. Thankfully, reading glasses were invented to solve this problem. ____45____ Do you know of other important inventions? A. This made people sick in cities. B. The fourth great invention is reading glasses. C. In 105 AD, Cai Lun in ancient China invented paper. D.
