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） Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money, research has shown. Penny-pinching (节俭的) UK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidl rather than luxury alternatives. This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK. It has shrunk from 1.19 billion pounds in 2011 to 1.12 billion pounds in 2015, according to a new report from market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall further to 1.11 billion pounds in 2016. In the last year alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2%, with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from 43 pounds in 2014 to 41 pounds in 2015. Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper — including facial tissue and kitchen roll—to save money. “Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality, with just a small proportion of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such as those with flower patterns or perfume,” said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. “These extra features are considered unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer.” While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain picky — in theory at least — when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons’ toilet paper wish list is softness (57%) followed by strength (45%) and thickness (36%). One in 10 buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufacturers, 81% of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper. 39. The market sales of toilet paper have decreased because ______. A. Britons have cut their spending on it B. its prices have gone up over the years C. its quality has seen marked improvement D. Britons have developed the habit of saving 40. What does the author think of the future of the tissue paper market in the UK? A. It will expand in time. B. It will remain gray. C. It will experience ups and downs. D. It will recover as population grows. 41. What does Jack Duckett say about toilet paper? A. Special offers would promote its sales. B. Consumers are loyal to certain brands. C. Luxurious features add much to the price. D. Consumers have a variety to choose from. 42. What do we learn about Britons concerning toilet paper? A. They are particular about the quality of toilet paper. B. They emphasize the strength of toilet paper the most. C. They prefer cheap toilet paper to recycled toilet paper. D. They reject using toilet paper with unnecessary features. 【答案】39. A 40. B 41. C 42. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国消费者为节省开支减少卫生纸消费的现象，以及卫生纸市场的现状、消费者的选择偏好等相关信息。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money, research has shown. Penny-pinching (节俭的) UK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidl rather than luxury alternatives.(研究显示，英国消费者为了省钱，在卫生纸上的开销变少了。节俭的英国消费者会选择Aldi、Lidl等折扣店的便宜产品，而非高端替代品)”可知，卫生纸的市场销售额下降是因为英国人削减了在这方面的开支。故选A。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall further to 1.11 billion pounds in 2016.(此外，该市场的前景远称不上乐观，预计2016年销售额会进一步下滑至11.1亿英镑)”可知，英国卫生纸市场的未来并不乐观，前景依然黯淡。故选B。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“These extra features are considered unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer.(大多数消费者认为这些额外功能是不必要的，这或许反映出这类产品通常比普通卫生纸更贵——即便在特价促销时也是如此)”可知，Jack Duckett认为卫生纸的奢华附加功能会大幅增加其价格。故选C。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain picky — in theory at least — when it comes to paper quality.(尽管消费者在卫生纸上的支出减少了，但至少从理论上来说，他们在卫生纸的质量方面依然很挑剔)”可知，英国人在卫生纸方面对质量是比较讲究的。故选A。 （B） What to See in Langkawi Underwater World Langkawi Set along the Pantai Cenang beach town, Underwater World Langkawi houses more than 500 species of sea creatures including harbor seals, rockhopper penguins, seahorses, as well as mandarin ducks.

Recent visitors to the Louvre report that tourists can now spend only a minute in front of the Mona Lisa before being asked to move on. Much of that time, for some of them, is spent taking photographs not even of the painting but of themselves with the painting in the background. One view is that we have democratized (平民化) tourism and gallery-going so much that we have made it effectively impossible to appreciate what we’ve travelled to see. In this oversubscribed society, experience becomes a commodity like any other. There are queues to climb Mount Qomolangma as well as to see famous paintings. Leisure, thus considered, is hard labour, and returning to work becomes a well-earned break from the tough experience. What gets lost in this industrialized haste (加速) is the quality of looking. Think about an extreme example, the late philosopher Richard Wollheim. When he visited the Louvre, he could spend as much as four hours sitting before a painting. The first hour, he claimed, was necessary for misperceptions to be eliminated. It was only then that the picture would begin to disclose itself. This seems unthinkable today, but it is still possible to organize. Even in the busiest museums there are many rooms and many pictures worth hours of contemplation (沉思) which the crowds largely ignore. Sometimes the largest crowds are partly the products of bad management; the Mona Lisa is such a hurried experience today partly because the museum is being reorganized. The Uffizi in Florence, another site of cultural pilgrimage (朝圣), has cut its entry queues down to seven minutes by clever management. And there are some forms of art, those designed to be spectacles as well as objects of contemplation, which can work perfectly well in the face of huge crowds. Olafur Eliasson’s current Tate Modern show, for instance, might seem nothing more than an entertainment, overrun as it is with kids romping (喧嚣地玩耍) in fog rooms and spray mist installations. But it’s more than that: where Eliasson is at his most entertaining, he is at his most serious too, and his disorienting installations bring home the reality of the destructive effects we are having on the planet — not least what we are doing to the glaciers of Eliasson’s beloved Iceland. Marcel Proust, another lover of the Louvre, wrote: “It is only through art that we can escape from ourselves and know how another person sees the universe, whose landscapes would otherwise have remained as unknown as any on the moon.” If any art remains worth seeing, it must lead us to such escapes. But a minute in front of a painting in a hurried crowd won’t do that. 46. Why did the late philosopher Richard Wollheim spend four hours before a picture? A. It takes time to appreciate a piece of art fully. B. It is quite common to misinterpret artistic works. C. The longer people contemplate a picture, the more likely they will enjoy it. D. The more time one spends before a painting, the more valuable one finds it. 47. What does the case of the Uffizi in Florence show? A. Art works in museums should be better taken care of. B. Sites of cultural pilgrimage are always flooded with visitors. C. Good management is key to handling large crowds of visitors. D. Large crowds of visitors cause management problems for museums. 48 What do we learn from Olafur Eliasson’s current Tate Modern show? A. Children learn to appreciate art works most effectively while they are playing. B. It is possible to combine entertainment with appreciation of serious art. C. Art works about the environment appeal most to young children. D. Some forms of art can accommodate huge crowds of visitors. 49. What can art do according to Marcel Proust? A. Enable us to live a much fuller life. B. Allow us to escape the harsh reality. C. Help us to see the world from a different perspective. D. Urge us to explore the unknown domain of the universe. 【答案】46. A 47. C 48. B 49. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕“注意力分散文化下艺术的处境”展开，探讨了当下艺术欣赏的匆忙现象，同时结合案例说明深度欣赏艺术的价值与可能性。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Think about an extreme example, the late philosopher Richard Wollheim. When he visited the Louvre, he could spend as much as four hours sitting before a painting. The first hour, he claimed, was necessary for misperceptions to be eliminated. It was only then that the picture would begin to disclose itself.(想一个极端的例子：已故哲学家Richard Wollheim。当他参观卢浮宫时，能在一幅画前静坐长达四小时。他认为，第一个小时是消除误解的必要时间。只有在那之后，这幅画才会开始展现它的内涵)”可知，充分欣赏一件艺术作品需要花费时间。故选A。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The Uffizi in Florence, another site of cultural pilgrimage (朝圣), has cut its entry queues down to seven minutes by clever management.(佛罗伦萨的Uffizi美术馆是另一处文化朝圣地，它通过巧妙的管理，将入场排队时间缩短到了7分钟)”可知，良好的管理是应对大量游客的关键。故选C。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Olafur Eliasson’s current Tate Modern show, for instance, might seem nothing more than an entertainment, overrun as it is with kids romping (喧嚣地玩耍) in fog rooms and spray mist installations. But it’s more than that: where Eliasson is at his most entertaining, he is at his most serious too, and his disorienting installations bring home the reality of the destructive effects we are having on the planet — not least what we are doing to the glaciers of Eliasson’s beloved Iceland.(比如Olafur Eliasson当前在泰特现代美术馆的展览，看起来或许不过是一场娱乐活动——展厅里满是在雾室和喷雾装置中喧闹玩耍的孩子。但它不止于此：在Eliasson最具娱乐性的作品里，也藏着最严肃的内核，且他那些让人迷失方向的装置作品，让人们真切意识到人类对地球造成的破坏性影响——尤其是我们对Eliasson深爱的冰岛冰川所做的一切)”可推知，娱乐和严肃艺术的欣赏是可以结合的。故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Marcel Proust, another lover of the Louvre, wrote: “It is only through art that we can escape from ourselves and know how another person sees the universe, whose landscapes would otherwise have remained as unknown as any on the moon.” (另一位卢浮宫的爱好者Marcel Proust写道：“唯有通过艺术，我们才能摆脱自我，了解他人眼中的宇宙；若非如此，那些宇宙图景会像月球上的景象一样，始终不为我们所知。”)”可知，艺术能帮助我们从不同的视角看待世界。故选C。 Section C（8%） Directions: Read the passage carefully. 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. How to Tell If a Photo Is an AI-Generated Fake You may have seen photographs that suggest otherwise, but former president Donald Trump wasn’t arrested last month, and the dog didn’t walk in a wheelchair. These recent hits were the fruits of artificial intelligence systems that process a user’s text descriptions to create images. ___50___ “It’s pretty amazing, in terms of what AI image generators (生成器) are able to do,” says S. Shyam Sundar, a researcher at Pennsylvania State University who studies media technologies. “___51___” Some of the factors behind this leap in ability include the ever-increasing number of images available to train such AI systems, as well as advances in data processing that make the technology accessible to regular Internet users, Sundar notes. The result is that artificially generated images are everywhere and can be “next to impossible to detect,” he says. Ironically, experts say that humans’ best defense from being fooled by an Al system may be yet another AI system: one trained to detect artificial images. As AI image generation progresses, algorithms (算法) are better equipped than humans to detect some of the tiny fingerprints of robotic creation. Creating these AI detective programs works the same way as any other machine learning task, says Yong Jae Lee, a computer scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “___52___ Then you can train a machine-learning model to distinguish the two,” Lee says. ___53___ Most such algorithms are trained on images from a specific AI generator and are unable to identify fakes produced by different algorithms. Most detectors also lack the user-friendly interfaces (界面) that have tempted so many people to try the generative AI systems. A. Still, these programs have significant shortcomings. B. There’s been a giant leap in the last year or so in terms of image-generation abilities. C. AI detectors will therefore always be struggling to keep up with AI image generators. D. You collect a data set of real images, and you also collect a data set of AI-generated images. E. They demonstrate how these systems have now become convincing enough to fool any viewer. F. Also, users need to evaluate visual information by asking whether it’s AI-generated before sharing. 【答案】50. E 51. B 52. D 53.

Data from their survey of trends in home cooking show that in almost every country in the world, women cooked more than men. In 2022, women made, on average, close to nine meals a week, while men cooked about four. The ___26___, of course, leaves many women frustrated. Emily Kephart, a 41-year-old mother of two, says she enjoyed being in ___27___ of food when it was just her and her husband, but having kids changed the equation (平衡局面). “Now we have two children and two full-time jobs and I still do 100% of the grocery shopping and meal planning, and about 75% of the actual cooking or food preparation,” she says.

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） Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money, research has shown. Penny-pinching (节俭的) UK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidl rather than luxury alternatives. This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK. It has shrunk from 1.19 billion pounds in 2011 to 1.12 billion pounds in 2015, according to a new report from market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall further to 1.11 billion pounds in 2016. In the last year alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2%, with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from 43 pounds in 2014 to 41 pounds in 2015. Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper — including facial tissue and kitchen roll—to save money. “Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality, with just a small proportion of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such as those with flower patterns or perfume,” said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. “These extra features are considered unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer.” While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain picky — in theory at least — when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons’ toilet paper wish list is softness (57%) followed by strength (45%) and thickness (36%). One in 10 buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufacturers, 81% of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper. 39. The market sales of toilet paper have decreased because ______. A. Britons have cut their spending on it B. its prices have gone up over the years C. its quality has seen marked improvement D. Britons have developed the habit of saving 40. What does the author think of the future of the tissue paper market in the UK? A. It will expand in time. B. It will remain gray. C. It will experience ups and downs. D. It will recover as population grows. 41. What does Jack Duckett say about toilet paper? A. Special offers would promote its sales. B. Consumers are loyal to certain brands. C. Luxurious features add much to the price. D. Consumers have a variety to choose from. 42. What do we learn about Britons concerning toilet paper? A. They are particular about the quality of toilet paper. B. They emphasize the strength of toilet paper the most. C. They prefer cheap toilet paper to recycled toilet paper. D. They reject using toilet paper with unnecessary features. （B） What to See in Langkawi Underwater World Langkawi Set along the Pantai Cenang beach town, Underwater World Langkawi houses more than 500 species of sea creatures including harbor seals, rockhopper penguins, seahorses, as well as mandarin ducks.

Recent visitors to the Louvre report that tourists can now spend only a minute in front of the Mona Lisa before being asked to move on. Much of that time, for some of them, is spent taking photographs not even of the painting but of themselves with the painting in the background. One view is that we have democratized (平民化) tourism and gallery-going so much that we have made it effectively impossible to appreciate what we’ve travelled to see. In this oversubscribed society, experience becomes a commodity like any other. There are queues to climb Mount Qomolangma as well as to see famous paintings. Leisure, thus considered, is hard labour, and returning to work becomes a well-earned break from the tough experience. What gets lost in this industrialized haste (加速) is the quality of looking. Think about an extreme example, the late philosopher Richard Wollheim. When he visited the Louvre, he could spend as much as four hours sitting before a painting. The first hour, he claimed, was necessary for misperceptions to be eliminated. It was only then that the picture would begin to disclose itself. This seems unthinkable today, but it is still possible to organize. Even in the busiest museums there are many rooms and many pictures worth hours of contemplation (沉思) which the crowds largely ignore. Sometimes the largest crowds are partly the products of bad management; the Mona Lisa is such a hurried experience today partly because the museum is being reorganized. The Uffizi in Florence, another site of cultural pilgrimage (朝圣), has cut its entry queues down to seven minutes by clever management. And there are some forms of art, those designed to be spectacles as well as objects of contemplation, which can work perfectly well in the face of huge crowds. Olafur Eliasson’s current Tate Modern show, for instance, might seem nothing more than an entertainment, overrun as it is with kids romping (喧嚣地玩耍) in fog rooms and spray mist installations. But it’s more than that: where Eliasson is at his most entertaining, he is at his most serious too, and his disorienting installations bring home the reality of the destructive effects we are having on the planet — not least what we are doing to the glaciers of Eliasson’s beloved Iceland. Marcel Proust, another lover of the Louvre, wrote: “It is only through art that we can escape from ourselves and know how another person sees the universe, whose landscapes would otherwise have remained as unknown as any on the moon.” If any art remains worth seeing, it must lead us to such escapes. But a minute in front of a painting in a hurried crowd won’t do that. 46. Why did the late philosopher Richard Wollheim spend four hours before a picture? A. It takes time to appreciate a piece of art fully. B. It is quite common to misinterpret artistic works. C. The longer people contemplate a picture, the more likely they will enjoy it. D. The more time one spends before a painting, the more valuable one finds it. 47. What does the case of the Uffizi in Florence show? A. Art works in museums should be better taken care of. B. Sites of cultural pilgrimage are always flooded with visitors. C. Good management is key to handling large crowds of visitors. D. Large crowds of visitors cause management problems for museums. 48. What do we learn from Olafur Eliasson’s current Tate Modern show? A. Children learn to appreciate art works most effectively while they are playing. B. It is possible to combine entertainment with appreciation of serious art. C. Art works about the environment appeal most to young children. D. Some forms of art can accommodate huge crowds of visitors. 49. What can art do according to Marcel Proust? A Enable us to live a much fuller life. B. Allow us to escape the harsh reality. C. Help us to see the world from a different perspective. D. Urge us to explore the unknown domain of the universe. Section C（8%） Directions: Read the passage carefully.

How to Tell If a Photo Is an AI-Generated Fake You may have seen photographs that suggest otherwise, but former president Donald Trump wasn’t arrested last month, and the dog didn’t walk in a wheelchair. These recent hits were the fruits of artificial intelligence systems that process a user’s text descriptions to create images. ___50___ “It’s pretty amazing, in terms of what AI image generators (生成器) are able to do,” says S. Shyam Sundar, a researcher at Pennsylvania State University who studies media technologies. “___51___” Some of the factors behind this leap in ability include the ever-increasing number of images available to train such AI systems, as well as advances in data processing that make the technology accessible to regular Internet users, Sundar notes. The result is that artificially generated images are everywhere and can be “next to impossible to detect,” he says. Ironically, experts say that humans’ best defense from being fooled by an Al system may be yet another AI system: one trained to detect artificial images. As AI image generation progresses, algorithms (算法) are better equipped than humans to detect some of the tiny fingerprints of robotic creation. Creating these AI detective programs works the same way as any other machine learning task, says Yong Jae Lee, a computer scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “___52___ Then you can train a machine-learning model to distinguish the two,” Lee says. ___53___ Most such algorithms are trained on images from a specific AI generator and are unable to identify fakes produced by different algorithms. Most detectors also lack the user-friendly interfaces (界面) that have tempted so many people to try the generative AI systems. A. Still, these programs have significant shortcomings. B. There’s been a giant leap in the last year or so in terms of image-generation abilities. C. AI detectors will therefore always be struggling to keep up with AI image generators. D. You collect a data set of real images, and you also collect a data set of AI-generated images. E. They demonstrate how these systems have now become convincing enough to fool any viewer. F. Also, users need to evaluate visual information by asking whether it’s AI-generated before sharing.
