When Param Jaggi was five years old, he had a passion to take things apart to see what was inside. He started with toys and even broke a computer, which made his parents not too pleased. As he got older, he shifted from breaking things to building things, which greatly comforted his parents. In middle school, he started working on projects in his kitchen laboratory, and his first project was making biofuels.
Although Jaggi’s parents initially thought his experiments were just a boyhood fancy, he remained determined to make a difference to the environment. Eventually, his parents came around and started supporting his dreams. Jaggi’s interest continued as he grew up, but he focused more on solving real problems, especially those related to the environment.
At 17, Jaggi went beyond his school projects and co-founded Ecoviate, a company that uses technology to solve everyday energy and environmental problems. He planned to transform people’s idea that going green is expensive, by making available a series of affordable products that are easy to use. Through Ecoviate, he designed products that could contribute to a greener future. One of his notable inventions was the “CO2ube”, a device that could be attached to vehicle tailpipes to reduce carbon emissions, and it’s available to many people at low prices. He also created a smartwatch that changed body heat into energy, which can be used to power up the watch as well as mobile phones.
Young Jaggi, now a third-grade college student studying engineering and economics, has become a famous eco-innovator and his company is developing promisingly. However, Jaggi’s vision to save the environment goes beyond creating products. He plans to launch an online platform through Ecoviate, which will encourage young students interested in science and technology to get actively involved in innovation and invention. Students can submit a science project online, and talk about the help that they need to make the project a reality.
4. What can we learn about Jaggi?
A. He was curious by nature. B. He dreamed to be an engineer.
C. He always annoyed his parents. D. He was addicted to playing toys.
5. What does the underlined part “came around” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Won out. B. Paid a visit.
C. Walked around. D. Changed their minds.
6. What drove Jaggi to develop affordable and user-friendly products?
A. His love for greener devices. B. His pursuit of academic career.
C. His desire to make a difference. D. His ambition to make a profit.
7. Why does Jaggie plan to launch an online platform?
A. To promote smart products. B. To empower young inventors.
C. To provide eco-themed courses. D. To offer environmentalists funds.

Goldfish may seem like simple creatures swimming in a glass tank, but they possess a rather complicated navigation system, as discovered by researchers at the University of Oxford. Led by Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux, the study aims to shed light on our understanding of how fish, and potentially humans, estimate distances using what could be described as an internal GPS.
Writing in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Sibeaux and colleagues report how they created a tank in their experiment with 2cm-wide black and white vertical stripes (垂直条纹) on the walls, connected by similar stripes across the floor. The team trained nine goldfish to swim a set distance of 70cm and then return to their starting point when waved at. The experiment aimed to investigate how the fish would estimate this distance without any gestures, under different patterns.
Over multiple trials, the goldfish averaged a swim distance of 74cm, give or take 17cm, when presented with the vertical 2cm-wide stripes. However, when the stripe pattern was altered to either narrower vertical stripes or horizontal stripes (水平条纹), ① changed significantly. Narrower vertical stripes led them to overestimate the distance by 36%, while horizontal stripes resulted in highly inconsistent estimations.
According to the researchers, the goldfish appeared to be using an “optic (光学的) flow mechanism” based on the visual density (密度) of their environment. They kept track of how frequently the vertical pattern switched between black and white to estimate how far they had traveled. The study suggests that different optic flow mechanisms are used by mammals, including humans, based on angular (有角度的) motion of visual features. The study implies that the use of visually based distance information could have emerged early in the evolutionary timeline.
“This study is novel because, despite knowing that fish respond to geometric information regarding direction and distance, we don’t know how they estimate distances,” Professor Colin Lever, although not involved in the study, said, “it’s exciting to explore fish spatial mapping because fish navigation evolved earlier and better than most mammals.”
8. Why did Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux conduct the study on goldfish?
A. To test the accuracy of goldfish’s internal GPS.
B. To create an advanced navigation system for humans.
C. To uncover how an inbuilt GPS helps calculate distances.
D. To explore the relationship between goldfish and humans.
9. The underlined part ① in paragraph 2 can be best replaced by ________.
A. the stripe patterns B. the fish’s behaviour
C. the estimated density D. the trial’s accuracy
10. What can be learned in the last two paragraphs?
A. Goldfish calculated distance by tracking visual information.
B. Mammals developed navigation ability long before goldfish.
C. The optic flow mechanism is unique to human beings.
D. Visual density strengthened the goldfish’s locating ability.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the article?
A. Goldfish: Simple Creatures with Powerful Abilities
B. The Evolution of Navigation: From Goldfish to Humans
C. Optic Flow Mechanism: How to Measure Distance
D. The Internal GPS: How Goldfish Navigate Their Ways
D
September 2022 was apparently the month artificial intelligence essay anxiety boiled over in academia, after a user of an AI writing service claimed to be getting straight A’s with essays written “using AI”. Most professors expressed concern. One wrote, “Grading something an AI wrote is an incredibly depressing waste of my life.”
As all this online depression was playing out, I asked my students to submit a proposal about a local issue, relying on the AI as much as possible. My students used free accessible text generators online and put in a lot of effort. But, if I had believed these were genuine student essays, the very best would have earned somewhere around a C or C-. Many of the essays had obvious red flags for AI generation.
There have been plenty of articles about the supposed impressiveness of AI-generated text. There are even several high-profile AI-written articles, essays or even scientific papers or screenplays that showcase this impressiveness. In many of these cases, the “authors” have access to higher-quality language models than most students are currently able to use. But, more importantly, the published examples are generally the polished form of professional writers and editors. In contrast, many of my students’ AI-generated essays showed the common problems of student writing — uncertainty about the appropriate writing style, inconsistent paragraphing, etc. Obviously, producing a quality essay with AI requires having high writing skill and revising skill to produce appropriate outputs.
My experiment so tells me that a good assignment sheet is the best defense against AI essays. If your assignment is “Describe the reasons for the U. S. Civil War”, you are more likely to get AI or downloaded essay submissions. My assignment was a challenge because it asked students to address local issues of concern. There are just not enough relevant examples in the data the AI text generators are drawing from.
It has been just over five years since computer scientists declared, “We should stop training radiologist (放射科医生) now. Artificial intelligence is going to do better than radiologists.” Well, we’re still training radiologists, and there’s no indication that AI is going to replace human doctors anytime soon. In much the same way, I strongly suspect full-on robot writing will always and forever be “just around the corner”.
12. What does the author imply in paragraph 3?
A. Online text generators are not reliable enough.
B. Students should be provided with better models.
C. Revising APPs decide the quality of AI essays.
D. AI-generated texts are more impressive.
13. In the author’s opinion, what may discourage the use of AI text generators?
A. Historical issues. B. Unique writing tasks.
C. Accessible information. D. Clear learning guidance.
14. The author mentions the radiologists in the last paragraph to _______.
A. warn against using robot writing
B. explore the future of medical science
C. show the limitations of AI application
D. stress the necessity to train doctors
15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To assess AI’s influence on students’ writing.
B. To discuss the threat of AI to the teaching of writing.
C. To appeal for the appropriate application of AI text generators.
D. To analyse the differences between genuine and AI-written essays.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When I was asked to take part in a forest bathing, I packed a swimsuit, assuming it must involve a refreshing swim in the water. ____16____
I met Forest Therapy (治疗) guide Melanic Choukas- Bradley and several other women who’d come along for the adventure at an urban forest. Here, I began to get it. Forest bathing isn’t a bath. We sat on the banks of the river, but we did not get in the water. ____17____ We did walk the forest tracks, but we wandered with no destination in mind.
The aim of forest bathing, Choukas-Bradley explained, is to slow down and become fully bathed in the natural environment. She helped us tune in to the forest’s smells, tastes and sights. ___18___ As we passed through the trees, we touched their trunks, feeling the roughness beneath our fingers. We smelled the flowers, each breath being a celebration of nature’s beauty.
There’s a growing body of evidence that shows forest bathing can help boost mood and reduce stress. ____19____ A 2011 study comparing city walks to forest walks found the forest environment led to greater reductions in blood pressure, despite both activities requiring equal physical effort.
____20____ Most of human history was spent in environments that lack buildings and walls, and our bodies have adapted to living in the natural world. But today most of us spend much of our life indoors. Perhaps the new forest bathing trend is a recognition that many of us need a little nudge to get back out there.
A. It’s not a hike, either.
B. It turns out that my interpretation was literal.
C. The benefits of nature can be accessed simply.
D. Forest bathing frees us from worldly engagements.
E. The idea that spending time in nature is good is not new.
F. Indeed, medical researchers have demonstrated its benefits.
G. We took in the peaceful surroundings by using all our senses.

Human brain cannot learn all by itself. We need to train ourselves to be better learners — to ___21___ take part in the learning process. These kinds of learning behaviors are called “active learning”.
There are two kinds of voices. Your inner voice expresses your ____22____ opinions, while the outer voice tells you about opinions from what you hear or read. Although your inner voice can be useful, it can also ____23____ in the way of learning. If you keep paying too much attention to it, you risk missing important information. Instead, active learners are open-minded and focus on what the speaker is saying, not on what their ____24____ is saying in the background.
If you find your inner voice difficult to control, you can ____25____ with it as most active learners do. When your inner voice tells you a speaker is wrong, think about why the speaker may be right. Be flexible in your opinions and you might end up ____26____ the speaker after all.

The ____28____ will lead you to further learning, and the very act of working out questions will help you to achieve a higher level of understanding about the topic. In short: Do not stop being ____29____.
Active learners do not _____30_____ everything they learn. They attempt to find the truth at the heart of each idea.

If you try to find out the _____32_____ of an idea, no matter how crazy it seems, you will increase your chance of learning something.
Many people refuse to learn what is said because of who the speaker is. It is true that we cannot help _____33_____ some people. But do not forget you can still learn from them. Active learners do not _____34_____ people based on first impressions or personal feelings. This _____35_____ the other way as well — do not just assume that some people are always right just because they are your friends.

第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The English word “garden” gives an entirely wrong idea of the Chinese yuan, for “garden” suggests a lawn and a wide ____36____ (vary) of flowers, altogether too formal and tidy to suit Chinese taste. The Chinese yuan suggests first of all a wild landscape, perhaps better arranged and more ____37____ (artistic) planned than nature, but still a bit of nature itself, with trees, creeks, and flowers. Dotted in this natural landscape ____38____ (be) the human structures like pavilions and long winding corridors, so perfectly belonging to the scenery as to become a whole with it. The Chinese garden ____39____ (characterize) by studied disorderliness. There are no even-cut bushes or symmetric (对称的) rows lining avenues.
No Chinese house allows an outsider ____40____ (look) through the iron gates, for that would be against the principle of concealment (隐蔽). ____41____ (face) the gate, we see a small courtyard giving no idea of the expansiveness of space inside, and leading one step by step into newer views, in ____42____ continual series of surprises and astonishments. ____43____ wooden framework supporting most of the weight of the house, windows, doors and walls are not limited to certain locations. The essential idea of interior (室内的) decoration is the beauty of simplicity. Home designs are not something impressive we buy from a first-class firm. What tells a home from a public building is the personal touch that we give ____44____. It is only when the spirit of leisure and loving care exists ____45____ living at home can become an art and a pleasure.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Amanda lived in a big modern city. Due to the high-speed development of economy, families from different backgrounds came here to find a better life. Amanda’s classmate and friend, Rama, was from one of those families.
One day after school, Amanda and Rama were chatting and Rama mentioned how much she missed her friends and hometown. “It is hard to leave,” Rama sighed, “but my family needed to be somewhere that is easier to make a living. Holding Rama’s hands, Amanda encouraged her to share more and she knew Rama loved to sing and dance with her friends back in her hometown.
After learning about Rama’s story, Amanda started to notice more students like Rama in her school. For the first time she realized that those students looked sad in their eyes. Sometimes because of their different accents, they couldn’t communicate well with others, which made them always sit or stand silently at the back of the classroom.
“They are having a hard time, we should show them kindness and love!” she told her mother one day. Amanda asked her mother what she could do to help make them feel welcome. Amanda’s mother suggested, “What about using art? Maybe it will be easier to communicate through art.” Amanda thought for a while and nodded. Like her friend Rama, Amanda loved all forms of art, like painting, singing, dancing, and performing, through which she could tell different stories about her family, and her life.
The next day, Amanda went to the Activity Center in her school and proposed her plan of an art show. The officer thought it a great idea. Inspired and excited, Amanda set about her plan with several friends. At the Activity Center they filled a room with paper, paint and pencils. They even made a small stage! Everything ready, they invited all the new students in her school and Amanda encouraged them to share something special about their hometown in any art form. To Amanda’s surprise, no one responded.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Amazingly, Rama stepped forward to break the ice.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Everything seemed to change after that art show.

Goldfish may seem like simple creatures swimming in a glass tank, but they possess a rather complicated navigation system, as discovered by researchers at the University of Oxford. Led by Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux, the study aims to shed light on our understanding of how fish, and potentially humans, estimate distances using what could be described as an internal GPS.
Writing in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Sibeaux and colleagues report how they created a tank in their experiment with 2cm-wide black and white vertical stripes (垂直条纹) on the walls, connected by similar stripes across the floor. The team trained nine goldfish to swim a set distance of 70cm and then return to their starting point when waved at. The experiment aimed to investigate how the fish would estimate this distance without any gestures, under different patterns.
Over multiple trials, the goldfish averaged a swim distance of 74cm, give or take 17cm, when presented with the vertical 2cm-wide stripes. However, when the stripe pattern was altered to either narrower vertical stripes or horizontal stripes (水平条纹), ① changed significantly. Narrower vertical stripes led them to overestimate the distance by 36%, while horizontal stripes resulted in highly inconsistent estimations.
According to the researchers, the goldfish appeared to be using an “optic (光学的) flow mechanism” based on the visual density (密度) of their environment. They kept track of how frequently the vertical pattern switched between black and white to estimate how far they had traveled. The study suggests that different optic flow mechanisms are used by mammals, including humans, based on angular (有角度的) motion of visual features. The study implies that the use of visually based distance information could have emerged early in the evolutionary timeline.
“This study is novel because, despite knowing that fish respond to geometric information regarding direction and distance, we don’t know how they estimate distances,” Professor Colin Lever, although not involved in the study, said, “it’s exciting to explore fish spatial mapping because fish navigation evolved earlier and better than most mammals.”
8. Why did Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux conduct the study on goldfish?
A. To test the accuracy of goldfish’s internal GPS.
B. To create an advanced navigation system for humans.
C. To uncover how an inbuilt GPS helps calculate distances.
D. To explore the relationship between goldfish and humans.
9. The underlined part ① in paragraph 2 can be best replaced by ________.
A. the stripe patterns B. the fish’s behaviour
C. the estimated density D. the trial’s accuracy
10. What can be learned in the last two paragraphs?
A. Goldfish calculated distance by tracking visual information.
B. Mammals developed navigation ability long before goldfish.
C. The optic flow mechanism is unique to human beings.
D. Visual density strengthened the goldfish’s locating ability.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the article?
A. Goldfish: Simple Creatures with Powerful Abilities
B. The Evolution of Navigation: From Goldfish to Humans
C. Optic Flow Mechanism: How to Measure Distance
D. The Internal GPS: How Goldfish Navigate Their Ways
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了牛津大学的研究人员对金鱼内部导航系统的研究发现,研究人员通过实验发现,金鱼似乎使用一种“光学流机制”来估算自身的运动距离,其行为受到视觉密度和环境中的光学纹理等因素的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Led by Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux, the study aims to shed light on our understanding of how fish, and potentially humans, estimate distances using what could be described as an internal GPS.(这项研究由牛津大学的Adelaide Sibeaux博士领导,旨在增进我们对鱼类(以及可能对人类)如何利用所谓的内部全球定位系统来估算距离的理解)”可知,这项研究旨在揭示内置GPS如何帮助计算距离。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Over multiple trials, the goldfish averaged a swim distance of 74cm, give or take 17cm, when presented with the vertical 2cm-wide stripes. However, when the stripe pattern was altered to either narrower vertical stripes or horizontal stripes (水平条纹), ① changed significantly. Narrower vertical stripes led them to overestimate the distance by 36%, while horizontal stripes resulted in highly inconsistent estimations.(经过多次试验,金鱼在看到2厘米宽的垂直条纹时,平均游动距离为74厘米,误差在17厘米以内。然而,当条纹图案改为更窄的垂直条纹或水平条纹时,①发生了显著变化。较窄的竖条纹导致它们高估了36%的距离,而水平条纹则导致了极不一致的估计结果)”可知,前文提到金鱼在看到2厘米宽的垂直条纹时估算的距离。后文提到看到较窄的竖条纹和水平条纹时金鱼对距离的估算。由此推知,此处指改变条纹图案后,金鱼对距离的估算发生了显著变化,也就是金鱼的行为发生了改变。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“According to the researchers, the goldfish appeared to be using an “optic (光学的) flow mechanism” based on the visual density (密度) of their environment. They kept track of how frequently the vertical pattern switched between black and white to estimate how far they had traveled.(据研究人员称,金鱼似乎是在基于其周围环境的视觉密度的“光学流机制”基础上进行估算的。它们通过观察竖条纹颜色的黑白交替频率来估算自己移动的距离)”可知,金鱼通过追踪视觉环境信息来计算距离。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段“Goldfish may seem like simple creatures swimming in a glass tank, but they possess a rather complicated navigation system, as discovered by researchers at the University of Oxford. Led by Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux, the study aims to shed light on our understanding of how fish, and potentially humans, estimate distances using what could be described as an internal GPS.(金鱼看似只是在玻璃缸里游来游去的简单生物,但研究人员发现,它们其实拥有相当复杂的导航系统。这项研究由牛津大学的Adelaide Sibeaux博士领导,旨在增进我们对鱼类(以及可能对人类)如何利用所谓的内部全球定位系统来估算距离的理解)”可知,本文介绍了牛津大学的研究人员对金鱼内部导航系统的研究发现,研究人员通过实验发现,金鱼似乎使用一种“光学流机制”来估算自身的运动距离,其行为受到视觉密度和环境中的光学纹理等因素的影响,D项“内部导航系统:金鱼如何确定自身方位”为最佳标题。故选D。

September 2022 was apparently the month artificial intelligence essay anxiety boiled over in academia, after a user of an AI writing service claimed to be getting straight A’s with essays written “using AI”. Most professors expressed concern. One wrote, “Grading something an AI wrote is an incredibly depressing waste of my life.”
As all this online depression was playing out, I asked my students to submit a proposal about a local issue, relying on the AI as much as possible. My students used free accessible text generators online and put in a lot of effort. But, if I had believed these were genuine student essays, the very best would have earned somewhere around a C or C-. Many of the essays had obvious red flags for AI generation.
There have been plenty of articles about the supposed impressiveness of AI-generated text. There are even several high-profile AI-written articles, essays or even scientific papers or screenplays that showcase this impressiveness. In many of these cases, the “authors” have access to higher-quality language models than most students are currently able to use. But, more importantly, the published examples are generally the polished form of professional writers and editors. In contrast, many of my students’ AI-generated essays showed the common problems of student writing — uncertainty about the appropriate writing style, inconsistent paragraphing, etc. Obviously, producing a quality essay with AI requires having high writing skill and revising skill to produce appropriate outputs.
My experiment so tells me that a good assignment sheet is the best defense against AI essays. If your assignment is “Describe the reasons for the U. S. Civil War”, you are more likely to get AI or downloaded essay submissions. My assignment was a challenge because it asked students to address local issues of concern. There are just not enough relevant examples in the data the AI text generators are drawing from.
It has been just over five years since computer scientists declared, “We should stop training radiologist (放射科医生) now. Artificial intelligence is going to do better than radiologists.” Well, we’re still training radiologists, and there’s no indication that AI is going to replace human doctors anytime soon. In much the same way, I strongly suspect full-on robot writing will always and forever be “just around the corner”.
12. What does the author imply in paragraph 3?
A. Online text generators are not reliable enough.
B. Students should be provided with better models.
C. Revising APPs decide the quality of AI essays.
D. AI-generated texts are more impressive.
13. In the author’s opinion, what may discourage the use of AI text generators?
A. Historical issues. B. Unique writing tasks.
C. Accessible information. D. Clear learning guidance.
14. The author mentions the radiologists in the last paragraph to _______.
A. warn against using robot writing
B. explore the future of medical science
C. show the limitations of AI application
D. stress the necessity to train doctors
15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To assess AI’s influence on students’ writing.
B. To discuss the threat of AI to the teaching of writing.
C. To appeal for the appropriate application of AI text generators.
D. To analyse the differences between genuine and AI-written essays.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能引发的学术焦虑,作者通过实验告诉我们,我们不需要过于担忧人工智能的使用。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But, more importantly, the published examples are generally the polished form of professional writers and editors. In contrast, many of my students’ AI-generated essays showed the common problems of student writing — uncertainty about the appropriate writing style, inconsistent paragraphing, etc. Obviously, producing a quality essay with AI requires having high writing skill and revising skill to produce appropriate outputs. (但更重要的是,所公布的实例通常都是专业作家和编辑们精心打磨后的成果。相比之下,我的许多学生的由人工智能生成的论文则暴露出学生写作常见的问题——对恰当的写作风格缺乏把握、段落排列不一致等等。显然,利用人工智能创作出高质量的论文需要具备高超的写作技巧和修改能力,以生成恰当的输出结果)”可知,网上广为人知的优质AI文本是经过专业作家编辑的润色;而普通学生用AI生成的作文普遍存在风格不对、分段混乱等问题,由此推知AI文本生成器并不可靠。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“My experiment so tells me that a good assignment sheet is the best defense against AI essays. If your assignment is “Describe the reasons for the U.S. Civil War”, you are more likely to get AI or downloaded essay submissions. My assignment was a challenge because it asked students to address local issues of concern. There are just not enough relevant examples in the data the AI text generators are drawing from.(我的实验表明,一份优秀的作业说明是抵御人工智能生成论文的最佳防线。如果你的作业是“描述美国内战的原因”,那么很可能会收到人工智能或下载来的论文提交。而我的作业则是一个挑战,因为它要求学生探讨当地关注的问题。由于人工智能文本生成器所依据的数据中缺乏足够的相关示例,所以很难找到合适的例子来支持这些论述)”可知,作者认为好的作业设计是防范AI代写的最好方式:泛泛的题目(比如美国内战原因)AI容易生成,但要求学生关注本地议题这类独特的、个性化的写作任务,AI训练数据中没有足够相关内容,无法生成合格作文,因此能阻碍学生使用AI。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It has been just over five years since computer scientists declared, “We should stop training radiologist (放射科医生) now. Artificial intelligence is going to do better than radiologists.” Well, we’re still training radiologists, and there’s no indication that AI is going to replace human doctors anytime soon.(自从计算机科学家宣称“我们现在应该停止训练放射科医生了。人工智能会比放射科医生做得更好。”以来,已经过去了超过五年的时间。然而,我们仍在培训放射科医生,而且目前也没有迹象表明人工智能会很快取代人类医生)”可知,五年前有人宣称AI会取代放射科医生,不用再培训医生,但至今AI也没能取代人类医生。因此举例目的是说明AI应用的局限性。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“September 2022 was apparently the month artificial intelligence essay anxiety boiled over in academia, after a user of an AI writing service claimed to be getting straight A’s with essays written “using AI”. Most professors expressed concern. One wrote, “Grading something an AI wrote is an incredibly depressing waste of my life.”(2022年9月显然是人工智能写作焦虑在学术界爆发的月份,此前一位使用人工智能写作服务的用户声称其通过“使用人工智能”所写的论文获得了全优成绩。大多数教授都表示了担忧。其中一人写道:“给一个由人工智能撰写的论文打分简直是一种极其令人沮丧的浪费我的生命的行为。”)”以及最后一段“In much the same way, I strongly suspect full-on robot writing will always and forever be “just around the corner”.(同样地,我强烈怀疑完全的机器人写作将永远是“指日可待”)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要讨论了人工智能对于写作教学的威胁,作者认为人们无需太过于担忧机器人写作会代替学生写作。故选B。

When I was asked to take part in a forest bathing, I packed a swimsuit, assuming it must involve a refreshing swim in the water. ____16____
I met Forest Therapy (治疗) guide Melanic Choukas- Bradley and several other women who’d come along for the adventure at an urban forest. Here, I began to get it. Forest bathing isn’t a bath. We sat on the banks of the river, but we did not get in the water. ____17____ We did walk the forest tracks, but we wandered with no destination in mind.
The aim of forest bathing, Choukas-Bradley explained, is to slow down and become fully bathed in the natural environment. She helped us tune in to the forest’s smells, tastes and sights. ___18___ As we passed through the trees, we touched their trunks, feeling the roughness beneath our fingers. We smelled the flowers, each breath being a celebration of nature’s beauty.
There’s a growing body of evidence that shows forest bathing can help boost mood and reduce stress. ____19____ A 2011 study comparing city walks to forest walks found the forest environment led to greater reductions in blood pressure, despite both activities requiring equal physical effort.
____20____ Most of human history was spent in environments that lack buildings and walls, and our bodies have adapted to living in the natural world. But today most of us spend much of our life indoors. Perhaps the new forest bathing trend is a recognition that many of us need a little nudge to get back out there.
A. It’s not a hike, either.
B. It turns out that my interpretation was literal.
C. The benefits of nature can be accessed simply.
D. Forest bathing frees us from worldly engagements.
E. The idea that spending time in nature is good is not new.
F. Indeed, medical researchers have demonstrated its benefits.
G. We took in the peaceful surroundings by using all our senses.

【20题详解】
根据后文“Most of human history was spent in environments that lack buildings and walls, and our bodies have adapted to living in the natural world. But today most of us spend much of our life indoors. Perhaps the new forest bathing trend is a recognition that many of us need a little nudge to get back out there.(人类历史的大部分时间都是在没有建筑和墙壁的环境中度过的,我们的身体已经适应了在自然界的生活。但是今天,我们大多数人的大部分时间都在室内度过。也许新的森林浴潮流是一种认识,即我们中的许多人需要一点推动才能回到那里)”可知,后文提到人类的身体已经适应了在自然界的生活,且需要推动回到大自然,说明是在建议花时间亲近大自然。故E选项“花时间在大自然中是件好事的想法并不新鲜”符合语境,故选E。

Asking questions is the easiest way to ____27____ active learning. When you get information from someone, from books or the Internet, ask some questions about the topic. The ____28____ will lead you to further learning, and the very act of working out questions will help you to achieve a higher level of understanding about the topic. In short: Do not stop being ____29____.
Active learners do not _____30_____ everything they learn. They attempt to find the truth at the heart of each idea. Even when an idea sounds entirely _____31_____, there may be an aspect of it that is based on truth. If you try to find out the _____32_____ of an idea, no matter how crazy it seems, you will increase your chance of learning something.
Many people refuse to learn what is said because of who the speaker is. It is true that we cannot help _____33_____ some people. But do not forget you can still learn from them.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The English word “garden” gives an entirely wrong idea of the Chinese yuan, for “garden” suggests a lawn and a wide ____36____ (vary) of flowers, altogether too formal and tidy to suit Chinese taste. The Chinese yuan suggests first of all a wild landscape, perhaps better arranged and more ____37____ (artistic) planned than nature, but still a bit of nature itself, with trees, creeks, and flowers. Dotted in this natural landscape ____38____ (be) the human structures like pavilions and long winding corridors, so perfectly belonging to the scenery as to become a whole with it. The Chinese garden ____39____ (characterize) by studied disorderliness. There are no even-cut bushes or symmetric (对称的) rows lining avenues.
No Chinese house allows an outsider ____40____ (look) through the iron gates, for that would be against the principle of concealment (隐蔽). ____41____ (face) the gate, we see a small courtyard giving no idea of the expansiveness of space inside, and leading one step by step into newer views, in ____42____ continual series of surprises and astonishments. ____43____ wooden framework supporting most of the weight of the house, windows, doors and walls are not limited to certain locations. The essential idea of interior (室内的) decoration is the beauty of simplicity. Home designs are not something impressive we buy from a first-class firm. What tells a home from a public building is the personal touch that we give ____44____. It is only when the spirit of leisure and loving care exists ____45____ living at home can become an art and a pleasure.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国园林的特点、布局理念以及中式住宅的设计与内涵。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:英文单词“garden”完全不能准确表达中文“园”的含义,因为“garden”让人联想到草坪和种类繁多的花卉,整体过于规整、整洁,不符合中国人的审美。根据冠词a可知,用名词形式构成固定短语a (wide) variety of,意为“各种各样的”。故填variety。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:中国园林首先呈现的是自然野趣的景致,或许比天然景致布局更精巧、设计更具艺术感,但仍保有自然本色,有树木、溪流与花草。提示词修饰动词“plan”,用副词形式artistically作状语,表示“艺术地、精巧地”。故填artistically。

考查谓语动词。句意:亭台、蜿蜒长廊等人文建筑点缀在这片自然景致之中,与风景浑然一体、相得益彰。这是一个倒装句,提示词为本句谓语动词,结合语境,描述客观事实,用一般现在时态,主语为“the human structures”是复数名词,谓语动词用复数形式。故填are。
【39题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:中国园林的特点是刻意营造的错落之美。提示词characterize(使……具有特点)为本句谓语动词,与主语“The Chinese garden”之间是被动关系,描述客观事实,用一般现在时的被动语态,且主语是单数名词,谓语动词用单数形式。故填is characterized。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中式住宅不会让外人透过铁门一眼望穿,因为这违背了“藏”的原则。allow sb. to do sth.是固定搭配,意为“允许……做某事”,用不定式作宾语补足语。故填to look。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:正对大门,我们会看到一处小庭院,完全看不出内部空间的开阔,而是一步步引人步入新景,带来接连不断的惊喜。空处为非谓语动词形式作伴随状语,与其逻辑主语“we”之间为主动关系,用现在分词形式表主动;句首单词首字母大写。故填Facing。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:正对大门,我们会看到一处小庭院,完全看不出内部空间的开阔,而是一步步引人步入新景,带来接连不断的惊喜。a series of是固定短语,意为“一系列……、一连串……”。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:由于木质框架承担了房屋的大部分重量,门窗和墙体不必局限于固定位置。空处为介词“with”引导的独立主格形式,构成“with+名词+现在分词”复合结构,表示“由于……”,作原因状语。故填With。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:家与公共建筑的区别,在于我们赋予它的个人温度。设空处作宾语,代指“a home”,用指示代词it。故填it。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Amanda lived in a big modern city. Due to the high-speed development of economy, families from different backgrounds came here to find a better life. Amanda’s classmate and friend, Rama, was from one of those families.
One day after school, Amanda and Rama were chatting and Rama mentioned how much she missed her friends and hometown. “It is hard to leave,” Rama sighed, “but my family needed to be somewhere that is easier to make a living. Holding Rama’s hands, Amanda encouraged her to share more and she knew Rama loved to sing and dance with her friends back in her hometown.
After learning about Rama’s story, Amanda started to notice more students like Rama in her school. For the first time she realized that those students looked sad in their eyes. Sometimes because of their different accents, they couldn’t communicate well with others, which made them always sit or stand silently at the back of the classroom.
“They are having a hard time, we should show them kindness and love!” she told her mother one day. Amanda asked her mother what she could do to help make them feel welcome. Amanda’s mother suggested, “What about using art? Maybe it will be easier to communicate through art.” Amanda thought for a while and nodded. Like her friend Rama, Amanda loved all forms of art, like painting, singing, dancing, and performing, through which she could tell different stories about her family, and her life.
The next day, Amanda went to the Activity Center in her school and proposed her plan of an art show. The officer thought it a great idea. Inspired and excited, Amanda set about her plan with several friends. At the Activity Center they filled a room with paper, paint and pencils. They even made a small stage! Everything ready, they invited all the new students in her school and Amanda encouraged them to share something special about their hometown in any art form. To Amanda’s surprise, no one responded.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Amazingly, Rama stepped forward to break the ice. She introduced herself to all of us formally on the stage, including her name, her hometown, her interests and so on. Following is her beautiful and amazing dance. As she was dancing, another student called Mike, began to play the violin as her background music. Such a shy and silent boy is he that they never know he is good at playing the violin. Students off the stage clapped their hands loudly as the final note ended. And then, they began to come to the stage and share their stories one by one. The art show lasted for two hours that day and everyone enjoyed it so much.
Everything seemed to change after that art show. They began to communicate with others and make new friends. Besides, they took part in the class and school activities actively, which made them integrate into the new class and school better.
