A new study suggests people might like chatbot-produced poems for their simple and straightforward images,
emotions and themes.
In a recent experiment,the researchers tasked OpenAI's ChatGPT with generating poems in the styles of famous
poets,then presented 1,634 participants with ten poems-five human-written and five chatbot-generated-and assessed
how people rated the poems based on 14 qualities,including rhythm and originality.Interestingly,they tended to rate the
AI-generated poems higher on average,suggesting a preference for their straightforwardness and clarity.
Why readers seem to prefer AI-generated poetry is not entirely clear,but the researchers'best guess is that the AI
poems may be more appealing because they are relatively straightforward and simple to comprehend."Emily Dickinson
sometimes breaks the expected rhyme scheme()on purpose,"says Brian Porter,a researcher at the University of
Pittsburgh,"But the AI-generated poems in her style never did that once."Besides,modern readers don't seem to want
to bother themselves to read deep to think critically.Instead,they prefer texts giving them instant answers."When
readers say they prefer AI poetry,they would seem to be showing their frustration when faced with writing that does not
yield to their attention,"he adds.
While the findings raise concerns about AI potentially replacing human artists and putting them out of work one day,
Dorothea Lasky,the only living poet whose writings were included in the experiments,says it's not necessarily a bad
thing that readers enjoyed the AI-generated poems."Poetry will always be necessary,"Lasky says,"If they read AI
poems and like that poem better than a human-generated poem,then that,to me,is beautiful.They have a good
experience with a poem,and I don't care who wrote it.I feel there is room for all poets-even robot poets.
This study provided a platform for the intersection of technology and creativity,prompting reflection on the future of
poetry and artistic expression.
13.Why did the researchers conduct the experiment?
A.To create a technique.
B.To clarify a concept.
C.To detail an example.
D.To confirm a finding.
14.What does the example of Emily Dickinson imply?

B.AI meets modern readers'reading preference.
C.Chatbot is trained to write in creative patterns.
D.Classic poetry lacks unique charming features.
15.Which belief does Dorothea Lasky have about poetry?
A.All flowers bloom together.
B.No dish suits all tastes.

议论文
高频考点
研析透
议论文,也叫说理文,是一种剖析事物、论述事理、发表意见、提出主张的文体。文章主要是中外广泛关注的
社会话题和热点问题,作者通过摆事实、讲道理、辨是非等手法,大多以“总一分一总”的结构行文,即“提出问
题一分析问题一解决问题”。议论文的三要素是论点、论据和论证,其目的是说服他人、宣扬观点,或者说服读者
接受某种意见或采取某种行动。
●辨明题类
议论文阅读理解难度相对比较大,命题角度多样化,细节理解题、推理判断题、词句猜测题、主旨大意题都有
可能出现。因此,在阅读议论文时,应该从结构和内容两方面同时入手,先通读原文,再区分事实和观点,明确论
点、论证和论据,把握作者最后得出的结论。
051
●技法点拨
研读首段,确定论点:议论文的主旨,即论点往往在首段,尤其是首段中有however,but等转折词时,其后的内
容便是论点。
细读中间段,把握论证方式:中间段是文章的主体部分,即论证部分,作者会用两个或两个以上的段落通过举
例、引用、对比、列数字、引用事实和理论等进行论证,这一部分往往与细节理解题的考查点相对应。
关注尾段,理解结论:尾段是结论部分,要弄清楚作者所得出的结论。

While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years,transport studies also show declines
in pedestrian()mobility,especially among young children.Many parents say there's too much traffic on the roads
for their children to walk safely to school,so they pack them into the car instead.
Dutch authors Thalia Verkade and Marco te Brommelstroet are bothered by facts like these.In their new book
Movement:How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives,they call for a rethink of our streets and the role they
play in our lives.
Life on city streets started to change decades ago.Whole neighbourhoods were destroyed to make way for new road
networks and kids had to play elsewhere.Some communities fought back.Most famously,a Canadian journalist who had
moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the destruction of her local park.Describing her
alarm at its proposed replacement with an expressway,Jane Jacobs called on her mayor()to champion "New York
as a decent place to live,and not just rush through".Similar campaigns occurred in Australia in the late 1960s and
1970s as well.
Although these campaigns were widespread,the reality is that the majority of the western cities were completely
redesigned around the needs of the motor car.The number of cars on roads has been increasing rapidly.In Australia we
now have over twenty million cars for just over twenty-six million people,among the highest rate of car ownership in the
world.
We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through,but we fail to account for the true costs.Do we really recognise
what it costs us as a society when children can't move safely around our communities?The authors of Movement have it
right:it's time to think differently about that street outside your front door.
28.What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A.Cars often get stuck on the road.
B.Traffic accidents occur frequently.
C.People walk less and drive more
D.Pedestrians fail to follow the rules.
29.What were the Canadian joumalist and other campaigners trying to do?
A.Keep their cities livable.
B.Promote cultural diversity.
C.Help the needy families
D.Make expressways accessible.
30.What can be inferred about the campaigns in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s?
A.They boosted the sales of cars.
B.They turned out largely ineffective.
C.They won government support.
D.They advocated building new parks.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Why the Rush?B.What's Next?
C.Where to Stay?
D.Who to Blame?

Most have probably heard of Henry David Thoreau and his book Walden,even though his message of simplicity may
sound outdated.Nowadays,smartphones flood us with text messages.Many consumers are buying the latest digital
devices,from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones.Simple living seems to be a thing of the past.
Thoreau would beg to differ.As a writer who advocated the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago,he was a
contrarian()for his time.He lived during the height of the Industrial Age,distinguished by the rise of large
factories,expanding urban developments,and powerful machines.
Turned off by the constant busyness of this time,Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods.He
brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden.In the book,Thoreau is
basically making a philosophical statement.We are not living meaningful lives due to modern technology.We created
powerful machines to make life more convenient.Unfortunately,these machines have done the opposite.In his words,
“men have become the tools of their tools”.
That is to say,we are not the ones controlling technology.Technology is controlling us.Every few minutes,
smartphones may distract us with messages.At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour.
Meanwhile,information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion.
When technology causes that much distraction and confusion,it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing
technology overuse.Personally,I've done so in two ways.First,I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on
it to a minimum.Most time,I only use my phone to call or text.Second,I quit most social media.Sure,those two things
aren't as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods.Nevertheless,they're realistic moves I can make toward living a
more meaningful life.
1.Why does the author refer to Thoreau's book Walden in Paragraph 1?
A.To tell the characters of Thoreau.
B.To attract more consumers.
C.To bring in the concept of simple life.
D.To discuss the advantage of smartphones.
2.What might drive Thoreau to live in the woods?
A.The purpose to keep fit.
B.His plan of writing a book.
C.The pace of his time.
D.His worry about technology.
053
3.What is the author's attitude to Thoreau's words "men have become the tools of their tools"?
A.Tolerant.
B.Doubtful.
C.Approving.
D.Critical.
4.What is the author's main argument in this text?
A.Modern technology improves our lives.
B.Simplicity in a way helps live a meaningful life.
C.We should withdraw from modern society.
D.Powerful machines are necessary for progress.

The 18th century German philosopher Immanuel Kant lived very firmly in a world of time.He was so strict about
routine that his fellow citizens of Kocnigsberg could set their watches by his aftemoon walk.However,in his philosophical
work,Kant was doubtful about time.He believed time is created by the human mind.Out there beyond our minds,there
is no time.It's simply a "category"of our minds that helps us to perceive objects and order our experience.
The flexibility of our time perception()supports Kant's doubt.We all know time is not a fixed phenomenon but
seems to pass at different speeds in different situations.For example,it seems to go slowly when we travel to unfamiliar
places,or when we are bored or in pain.It seems to speed up when we're absorbed,such as when we play music or
paint.
Our perception of time can change in a dramatic way.Perhaps,at least once in your life,you've had what is called
a "Time Expansion Experience (TEE)",when seconds have stretched out into minutes.TEEs happen most frequently in
accidents where perception becomes more intense than normal and thus people notice more details.
In accident situations,people are often surprised by the amount of time they have to think and act.In fact,many
people are convinced that time expansion spared them from their serious injury,or even death.For example,a woman
who reported a TEE in which she avoided a metal barrier falling on to her car said,"For me the slowing down of the
moment allowed me to decide how to escape the falling metal on us."
All of this suggests that Kant was right.Perhaps the reason why time is variable is that it doesn't really exist-at
least,outside our minds.There is no objective time out there in the universe.What we experience as time is filtered(i
through our minds,and so varies according to our state of mind.
5.Which of the following would Immanuel Kant approve of?
A.Time is a basic quality of the world.
B.Time is a record of human experience.
C.Time is a situation measured by daily routine.
D.Time is a mental concept generated by humans.
6.What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A.Time progresses at a constant speed.
B.Full attention affects people's sense of time.
C.Time perception varies depending on context.
D.People feel time slows down on special occasions.
7.What do people think of TEEs in accidents?
A.Inspiring.
B.Beneficial.
C.Temporary.
D.Painful.
8.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.The Secret of Time:A State of Mind
B.Time Expansion:Real or Imaginary?
C.Time Perception:A Philosophical Exploration
D.The Clockwork of the Mind:How to Measure Time?

Are you a logical thinker,or would you say that you're more free-spirited and artistic?If you're the former,
somebody's probably told you at some point that you're a left-brained person,and if you're the latter,right-brained.The
idea that the right half of the brain is the creative half and the left half is the analytical half and that our individual
characteristics are determined by which half is dominant is widespread in popular psychology.However,this idea is a
fiction.
Although we all obviously have different personalities and talents,there's no reason to believe these differences can
be explained by the dominance of one half of the brain over the other half.Recent research using brain imaging
054
technology hasn't found any evidence of hemispheric()dominance.Math,for example,requires logical thought
and,thus,is generally said to be connected with the left brain.But mathematics involves a highly creative effort in
addition to being a logical one.So would a gifted mathematician be a right-brained or a left-brained person?
If there's no evidence for the fiction of right-brained and left-brained people,why do so many people accept it?
Perhaps it just makes intuitive()sense that people's brains would be dominant on one side or the other just as
their hands,feet,or eyes are.It may also have something to do with our seemingly unlimited appetite that allows us to
sort ourselves (and our friends)into"types"based on our emotional and intellectual characteristics.
When people are offered general descriptive statements that are presented as individualized descriptions of their own
personalities,they tend to accept them as meaningful and true,especially if the statements are positive.The "insights"
they generate are both universal and congenial.After all,who would reject a description of themselves as "artistic and
creative'”or“reasonable and analytical"?The fiction is popular,in the end,because it gives us a“scientific”way to
talk about our favorite subject-ourselves.
9.What can we learn from the passage?
A.A free-spirited artist is a right-handed person.
B.The left half of the brain deals with analytical work.
C.Different personalities are determined by the brain.
D.The idea of which half of the brain is dominant is a fiction.
10.Which is a possible reason for people believing left-brained or right-brained dominance?
A.Roles of different brain regions.
B.Distinctions between different people.
C.The tendency to classify people.
D.The conclusion from daily phenomena.

It's been quite a while since the world saw exactly how deadly these deep-sea voyages can be.On June 18,2023,
the private submersible()Titan carried five men on a mission to view the remains of the Titanic,which is about
400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland.The dive was expected to take a few hours and reach a depth of more than
12,000 feet.But 105 minutes after the Titan went down below the waves,it lost contact.
The U.S.and Canadian Coast Guards and the U.S.Navy were called in for a desperate search to rescue the
passengers,only to discover the Titan had collapsed inward with no survivors.The disaster dominated global news for
weeks,touching off debates:Are human-led deep-sea missions worth their risks and costs?
On social media,some expressed sympathy,while others opposed the effort.Critics labeled the passengers "risk-
takers"or"senseless"and journalists strongly criticised the media focus on wealthy explorers instead of 700 drowned
victims in the Aegean Sea.The obloquy continues today-I've been targeted myself.
For a decade,I've supported undersea exploration,arguing its importance.Critics object that remotely operated
machines make human missions unnecessary.Why dive deep when we can study hidden secrets in high-definition from
safe offices?
Yet I defend humanity's drive to explore-the hands-on,unpredictable pursuit that sent us to the moon and across
oceans.Without such exploration,scientists can't confirm theories;nor can journalists share real stories.Through many
attempts and mistakes,I've learned:To truly describe a subject,you must encounter it.Discovery requires being present.
The path to knowledge is challenging,filled with setbacks and failures.It's costly and often unrewarding,but that's
exactly why it matters.Trying various approaches-even following uncertain clues-is crucial to discovery.We lose
something vital if we abandon the courage to go deep.

13.What was the initial purpose of the Titan's mission?
A.To test an underwater vehicle.
B.To study undersea creatures.
C.To rescue Aegean Sea victims.
D.To observe the ruins of a ship.
14.What does the underlined word "obloquy"in paragraph 3 refer to?

A machine can now not only beat you at chess,it can also outperform you in debate.Last week,in a public debate
in San Francisco,a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents,including Noa Ovadia,Israel's
former national debating champion.
Brilliant though it is,Project Debater has some weaknesses.It takes sentences from its library of documents and
prebuilt arguments and strings them together.This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make.Such wrinkles
will no doubt be ironed out,yet they also point to a fundamental problem.As Kristian Hammond,professor of electrical
engineering and computer science at Northwestern University,put it:"There's never a stage at which the system knows
what it's talking about.
What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning,and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least
intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines.A computer works with symbols.Its program specifies a set of
rules to transform one string of symbols into another.But it does not specify what those symbols mean.Indeed,to amachine and the size of the laundry load may take

“general”对应“universal'”,“positive”对应“congenial'”。画线
词后提到谁会拒绝将自己描述为“有艺术性和创造力”或
“理性且具分析力”呢。综合以上分析可知,“congenial'”应指
人们不会拒绝的且令人高兴的。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。2023年6月18日,“泰
坦”号私人潜水船在前往查看泰坦尼克号残骸途中失联并导致
乘客无一生还,这一灾难引发了关于人类主导的深海任务是否
值得冒险和付出成本的辩论。作者认为尽管深海探索充满风
险、代价高昂且可能没有回报,但通过权衡其风险与意义,肯定
了人类探索的价值,强调亲身参与对于发现是至关重要的。
13.D细节理解题。根据第一段中“On June18,2023,the
private submersible(潜水船)Titan carried five men on a
mission to view the remains of the Titanic”可知,“泰坦”号此
次任务的最初目的是查看一艘船(泰坦尼克号)的残骸。
l4.B词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Critics labeled the
passengers 'risk-takers'or 'senseless'and journalists strongly
criticised the media focus on wealthy explorers instead of 700
drowned victims in the Aegean Sea.The obloquy continues
today-一I've been targeted myself.”可知,前文讲述了社会各界
的批评,所以“obloquy'”指的是社会的批评。
l5.C推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Yet I defend humanity's
drive to explore-the hands-on,unpredictable pursuit that sent
us to the moon and across oceans.Without such exploration,
scientists can't confirm theories;nor can journalists share real
stories.”以及最后一段中“The path to knowledge is
challenging,filled with setbacks and failures.It's costly and often
unrewarding,but that''s exactly why it matters.”可知,作者通过
权衡深海探索的风险和其对科学家、记者等的重要意义来为
其价值辩护。
16.D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Through many attempts
and mistakes,I've leamed:To truly describe a subject,you must
encounter it..Discovery requires being present..”可知,作者认为
对于发现来说,直接参与是至关重要的。

domestic animals in many parts of the country and may be
infecting unaware vets(兽医).”可知,第一段提到谚语是为了
引出这项关于H5N1禽流感病毒的研究。
2.A段落大意题。根据第二段内容可知,第二段主要介绍了这
项分析的研究结果。
3.A细节理解题。根据第三段中“But she said she was even
more surprised that none of them had known they were infected or
