By his second visit, the few members left in the dying organization had put him in charge of the whole thing. The club began in the 1920s. Back then, hunting and fishing were pastimes in rural areas. The culture, however, is different now. When Terry took over the century-old club, it was on its last legs. Only a couple dozen members remained, and most were older than its new 68-year-old president. They were no longer doing the things they’d been known for. Worst of all, their famous fishing tackle party had been canceled twice, once just because they simply didn’t have enough members to pull it off. He wanted to push hard to keep the organization going, because it is one of the things that make up the heart and soul of Newberry. He had to look for new members. He needed to broaden the club’s offerings to attract younger people. More than anything else, he had to make sure the tackle party for kids took place once again. Little by little, Terry’s efforts worked. People began asking about memberships. Some sent contributions. Others offered their time. A local company donated new siding for the clubhouse. Someone else said they would put a new roof on it. Someone came and mowed the lawn (草坪) when it got long in the summer. Others cleared the snow in the winter. All over town, people and businesses promised to help the club survive and succeed. On the day of the annual Kids Tackle Party, hundreds of kids and their families appeared. Terry started the event with a speech. A local fishing expert gave tips on how to catch fish. Then, one at a time, each of the 245 kids was called by name, and every one of them got a fishing pole and a tackle box. It took more than three hours to get through everyone who showed up. It was a big event, one that came close to dying, but was finally back. Terry fought to keep the club and party for kids, a longtime tradition in the Newberry community, going. Traditions are dying these days, but he was able to get people to hold onto this one. 34. When Terry took over the club,________. A. he was the youngest member B. the club was struggling to survive C. hunting was a popular pastime D. the culture of the club remained 35. To keep the organization going, what did Terry put at the top of his to-do list? A. Ensuring the return of the tackle party for kids. B. Broadening people’s minds in Newberry. C. Searching for help from his neighborhood. D. Offering appealing activities to attract new members. 36. What did the townspeople do to help the club? A. They fixed the clubhouse roof. B. They grew grass. C. They donated fishing poles. D. They removed the snow. 37. What can we learn from the story? A. Interest does not lie. B. A hero shows up during challenging times. C. The discovery of tradition matters. D. Sometimes hard work doesn’t pay off. In the 1970s, a gorilla (大猩猩) known as Koko became world-famous when scientists taught her to use human sign language to communicate with people. There were numerous attempts in the mid-1900s to teach human language to nonhumans, such as Koko. But what we should have been thinking about was their abilities to engage in complex communication on their own terms instead of trying to teach an animal to talk to us in human language. Today scientists are trying to figure out how living things already share information using their particular methods. This new field of study is known as digital bioacoustics and it involves using tools to understand the production of sounds and their effects on living things. Scientists in this field are using sensors, which are devices that pick up and record information on physical or chemical conditions. Some are also using artificial intelligence (AI) technology, an approach that uses algorithms (算法). The same algorithms that we use in tools such as Google Translate to translate documents can also be used to find patterns in nonhuman communication. Jeremy of Tel Aviv University studied nearly two dozen Egyptian fruit bats for two and a half months and recorded their vocalizations. His team adapted a voice-recognition program to study 15,000 of the sounds. The algorithm matched specific sounds with specific things the bats were doing. Using this program, the researchers were able to classify most of the bats’ sounds. Jeremy and other researchers have found that bats have a much more complex language than we previously understood. Bats argue over food; they distinguish (区分) between genders when they communicate with one another and they have individual names, or “signature calls”. That’s a great example of how AI is able to find these patterns from information gathered by sensors and microphones. AI reveals things that we can’t hear with our human ears alone because most bat communication happens above our hearing range, and because bats speak much faster than we do, we have to slow it down to listen to it. So we cannot listen like a bat, but our computers can. And our computers can also speak back to the bat by producing specific patterns. Digital bioacoustics is like an amazing hearing aid. It lets us listen to animals with both our digitally enhanced (增强的) ears and our imagination. This is slowly opening our minds not only to the wonderful sounds that nonhumans make, but to a fundamental set of questions about the so-called divide between humans and nonhumans, as well as our connection to other species. It’s also opening up new ways to think about protecting living things and our relationship with the planet. It’s pretty meaningful. 38. Regarding scientists’ efforts to teach animals human language, the author feels ________. A. negative B. unconcerned C. uncertain D. supportive 39. Scientists in digital bioacoustics are trying to study ________. A. how animals use different tools to share information B. how animals are affected by the production of sounds C. how animals are taught to talk in human sign language D. how animals communicate with one another using sounds 40. What can we learn about AI applied in digital bioacoustics? A. It pairs certain animals’ sounds with their behaviors. B It slows down animals’ sounds within humans’ hearing range. C. It adapts voice-recognition programs to analyze animals’ sounds. D. It translates specific nonhuman sound patterns into human language. 41. According to the passage, the author may agree that ________. A. animals can be classified according to their sound patterns B. scientists need to keep studying how animals produce sounds C. digital bioacoustics may inspire humans to rethink their relationship with animals D. the focus of digital bioacoustics should be the divide between humans and nonhumans D After years of blue-collar (蓝领) jobs being replaced by machines, advanced chatbots are now breathing down white collars. Generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, have made impressive progress in generating human-sounding language and understanding context. So much so that humans are no match for them in some tasks. Up to 300 million full-time jobs could be lost around the world, which is as much as 18% of the global workforce. A recent study by OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, looked at the potential for automation across 1,016 jobs. Humans and AI separately rated how well software powered by large-language models, which are trained on a sea of information from the Internet and then reacted quickly to specific functions, could perform 19,000 tasks involved in the jobs. If the software was considered able to reduce the time it takes humans to complete the task by at least half, without a drop in quality, the task was considered ready for AI replacement. For other tasks, the company imagined additional software that could be added to the model, such as computer tools that can automatically pull fresh data from the Internet. They found that 80% of Americans could have at least 10% of their work tasks done by advanced AI tools. The figure rises to 50% of tasks for around 19% of workers. This automation should not be feared. It could free workers from repeated tasks, contributing to greater productivity. A study published on April 5 suggests that generative AI could bring about sweeping changes to the global economy. As these tools could drive a 7% increase in global GDP and lift productivity by 1.5 percentage points over a 10-year period. But studies like this may overstate the potential for automation, ignoring some tacit skills (隐性技能) in professions they know less about. Human qualities important for some jobs, such as empathy or charisma (感召力), will be overlooked. And not all tasks capable of being carried out by AI should be: a man in love should feel it a shame for using it to write a love letter to his beloved girlfriend however touching and sincere it may sound. Many businesses are also not willing to accept AI. And those who have already accepted it are at the risk of practical and legal (法律的) confusion. When chatbots do not know what to say, they often talk nonsense. The “creative” output they produce is based on a mixture of data sourced from the Internet, raising issues around accuracy, privacy and intellectual property (知识产权). While much is unknown about how generative AI will influence the world economy and society, and it will take time to play out, there are clear signs that the effects could be profound. But in the real world, AI tools will still need handlers. That may even end up creating new jobs. 42. What is the function of Paragraph 1? A. To show the popularity of AI tools. B. To compare the impacts of AI on blue and white collars. C. To give examples of using generative AI tools. D. To draw readers’ attention to the possible threat of AI. 43. According to the study by Open AI, AI can replace humans when________. A. it can perform certain creative tasks B. it can develop important human qualities like empathy C. AI tools improve productivity without damaging quality D. automation is powered by large-language models 44. The author would probably agree that________. A. AI and automation do more harm than good B. AI will eventually take over human jobs C. AI tools may help increase employment D. human qualities are not necessary for automation 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） Why Boundaries at Work Are Essential What is a boundary, you ask? A boundary is a limit defining you in relation to someone or something. _____45_____ If you have informed someone that this is your office space, your desk, or your chair, you have attempted to set physical boundaries. Letting co-workers know you are not comfortable shaking their hands or hugging them at a holiday party, especially with Covid at this time, is another example of setting a physical boundary. It is often easier to understand a physical boundary. Emotional or mental boundaries may be subtler (更微妙的). _____46_____ Emotional boundaries are related to our feelings and how something or someone’s behavior affects us. For example, if a boss treats you disrespectfully by yelling at you or a colleague frequently interrupts you in meetings, you are likely to feel hurt, embarrassed, and perhaps angry. Understandably, by having a courageous conversation with both your boss and co-worker about their behavior, the impact it has on you, and your expectations regarding future behavior, you are setting healthy emotional boundaries for yourself at work. Sometimes we set a boundary that is a combination of both a physical and emotional one. ____47____ One example of this is being repeatedly asked to work late during the week/weekends or while on vacation. Another example is being required to see too many clients or patients to the point we feel tired at the end of the day and exhausted by Friday. Often, the above workplace demands lead to increased stress and a high potential for burnout (倦怠) over time. Mental boundaries are related to our beliefs, values, cultural norms, ethics (道德), and standards. For example, you value a workplace culture that treats employees and clients with respect and dignity and acts ethically. After six months, you realize that company leaders are repeatedly behaving in ways not consistent with this. ____48____ Over time, this may lead to significant stress and physical symptoms within. ____49____ Boundaries serve many functions. They help protect us, clarify our responsibility, preserve our physical and emotional energy, and live our values and standards. Learning the skill of boundary setting helps empower us to prioritize our values and well-being and better manage our stress. Identifying, setting, and maintaining boundaries are skills—valuable skills that, unfortunately, we are often not taught in school or the workplace. A. Why are boundaries important? B. However, they are equally, if not more, important. C. Therefore, we need to tell the difference between them. D. Setting a boundary in the above example may be quite helpful. E. Boundaries can be physical, mental, emotional, tangible, or intangible. F. Your values and ethical standards don’t match with your company’s, which likely will lead to internal conflict. G. Such boundaries often involve being asked to do more than we feel capable of for an extended period of time 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第50、51题各2分，第52题3分，第53题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 For most 12-year-olds, any free time after school is spent hanging out with friends, competing in sports, or playing video games. But Alejandro Buxton has another dream: making all-natural candles that he sells online and at a local mall. The idea was inspired by his mother, who had to give up many of the scented candles she’d filled their home with after realizing the chemicals within them were worsening her allergies (过敏), causing her frequent headaches. So, in 2019, at just 9 years old, the boy started experimenting with making his own, mixing ingredients like soy and coconut waxes with essential oils. He called his first work “Jurassic Orange,” for its color and pleasant smell. Though his mother was a big fan, and the scent didn’t cause her head to ache, Buxton wanted to improve upon his work. Within the next few months, he’d developed a line of six uniquely scented candles. By the following year, during the worldwide lockdowns, he’d created his own online shop. Soon after, Alejandro began selling his products on his own website, “Smell of Love Candles,” where shoppers can find offerings with creative names like “Sage the Day!” and “Alexa, clean the house.” He also lists other products such as room sprays for sale. According to the site, his younger sister Valentina serves as assistant of operations while his mother takes the role of assistant to the CEO. Now, he is operating his business in a local mall as well. This past September, he opened a stand in D.C.’s Tysons Corner shopping center—making him the youngest leaseholder (承租人) at the mall. Besides inspiring fellow kids with his entrepreneurial spirit and talent, Alejandro is also a positive role model for giving back and making a difference: He donates a part of his profits to a local charity. With the experience and knowledge he’s gaining from running this business at such a young age, Alejandro hopes to one day go on to create an engineering business. 50. What is Alejandro’s dream? ________________ 51. Why did the boy come up with the idea? ________________ 52. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. • Alejandro is a successful businessman because he began his candle business and started an engineering business at a young age. ________________ 53.
