L.Grammar and Vocabulary(共30分，每小题1.5分) SectionA Directions:After reading the passage below,fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.For the blanks with a given word,fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word;for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank. The Power and Limitation of ChatGPT It can take a little imagination to see how some innovations might change an economy.Not so with the latest AI tools.It is easy (21)uurik)of contexts in which something like ChatGPT,a clever chatbot which(22)ke)the web by storm since its release in November 2022,could either dramatically boost a human worker's productivity or replace them outright. The ChatGPT in its name stands for"generative pre-trained transformer",(23)is a particular kind of language model.(24)feed)huge amounts of human-created text.ChatGPT looks for statistical regularities in this data,learns what words and phrases(25)tassociate)with others and therefore predict what words should come next in any given sentence and (26)sentences fit together.The result is a machine that can persuasively mimic human language. This capacity (27)mimicry allows ChatGPT to write essays and poetry,think up jokes, formulate code,and answer questions whether to a child or an expert.Its performance is so astonishing (28)many over the past months have been both celebrating and panicking."Essays are dead," wrote the cognitive scientist Tim Kietzmann.Others claim that it will finish off Google as a search engine. And the program(29)thinks it may be able to replace humans in jobs from insurance agent to court reporter. Nevertheless,there is an (30)(underli)problem that faces any form of artificial intelligence: A computer manipulates (symbols.Its progamn specifies a set of rules with which to transform one string of symbols into another,or to recognize statistical patterns.But it does not specify what those symbols or patters mean.To a computer,meaning is irrelevant.ChatGPT "knows"what appears meaningful to humans,but not what is meaningful to itself. Section B Directions:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need. A.fuels B.ethnic C.interconnected D.channeled E.outcomes F.influenced G.moral H.united I.extended J.scientifically K difference Control the Use of Science A recent study,while showing a generally positive attitude toward science,also suggests a 高二年级英语学科卷3/10 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP widespread worry that it may be "running out of control".This idea is dangerous. Science can be a force for evil as well as for good.Its applications can be31either way, depending on our decisions.The decisions we make,personally or collectively,will determine the 32 of science.But here is a real danger.Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly 33 by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little 34.And,rather than fighting for the best possible policies,we may step back and do nothing. Some people go even further.They say that despite the moral and legal objections,whatever is 35 possible will be done-somewhere,sometime.They believe that science will get out of control in the end.This belief is dangerous too,because it 36a sense of hopelessness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world. In our 37-world,the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science.Without a common understanding,the challenges of"controlling"science in this century will be really tough.Take human cloning for example.Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possibly huge impact on traditional 38 values,some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques.The outcomes are hard to predict. Therefore,discussions on how science is applied should be 39 far beyond scientific societies. Only through the 40 efforts of people with hope,can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.

Dr.Steven Weiniger,a posture expert,explains that many people sit cross-legged to ease the pressure on their lower backs.What they don't realize,however,is that(49)to ease the pressure on one part of the body can add pressure to other parts.

(A) My husband became very ill,leaving me to do everything in our home.By night time,I felt as if I was moving in slow motion.One such evening,I noticed that my Bluebird diamond wedding ring-which I had worn for more than half a century-was missing.I was devastated. I looked everywhere.No luck.My family told me to retrace my steps.That would be a task,for that day I had closed a bank account,taken my car in to get it fixed,and gone for an eye exam.I sat,feeling numb.My mind wandered back in time to when I had caught my first glimpse of the man I married.I was five and often tagged along with my dad.That particular day,we came upon a large herd of Black Angus cattle being driven near the roadside.I was looking at the youngest rider.He seemed to be about nine years old.I waved to him,but he just tended to the cattle.Perhaps he was shy. Next my memory travelled to my senior year in high school.It was on such a day that a black hardtop car went by real slow.A passenger yelled,"Girls,do you want to ride around with us?"Among the people in the car was the young cowboy who hadn't responded to my wave 13 years before!But he wasn't 高二年级英语学科卷510 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP ignoring me now.So,our love affair began.He offered the ring a few months later. The daydream passed.My daughter Jan called."Mum,you should shop for a new ring.Where do you want to go?"she asked.A pawn shop(当铺)，I said. At the shop.we found five jewelry cases to look through.One was too big,another too small,and the third too expensive.So we continued to the next case.As I slipped it on my finger,I shouted,"Here's my lost ring!Sce how it just fits."Everyone in the store turned to the young man helping us.He got a magnifying glass out and said,"It is a Bluebird."The police got involved.Weeks later,I got a call from an officer who told me that a girl had found it in the mall parking lot. I'm still in awe that I found my ring.How did I know to go to that pawn shop?Was it intuition?The work of angels?Just curiosity?I'm not sure I'll ever know.But I did learn that sometimes things are gone for a while before they reappear to be claimed.Just like my man.And just like my ring. 56.What was everyday life like for the writer when the story happened?

A.The one who has already got a novel published. B.A medalist of the International Mathematical Olympiad. The one who has designed an original engineering project. D.An applicant for York's Scientific Community. (C) While more and more scientists are working on nonfiction science books for the general reader.I think we also need a change 高二年级英语学科卷7/10 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP The typical expert-voiced monologues (that scientists write are a wonderful component of the engagement cffort,but the form is limited.Such books are largely read by people already willing to pick up a science book,or who are open to the authoritative academic's voice telling them how to think.There are plenty of people who can engage with science but who find those kinds of books a sometimes unwelcome reminder of the classroom. Following from my belief that science is for everyone.I suggest that publishers need to work with scientists to expand the kinds of books on offer.assured that there is an audience for them.Progress is possible.Many years ago,I realized it is hard to find books on the nonfiction science shelf that let readers see themselves as part of the conversation about science.So I thought about an entire book of conversations about scicnce taking place between ordinary people.While "overhearing"those conversations,readers learn some science ideas.It's a resurrection of the dialogue form.known to the ancient Grecks.and to Galileo.as a device for exchanging idcas,but with contemporary settings:cafes, restaurants.trains and so on. I decided it would be engaging for the reader to actually sce who's having those conversations,and where,instead of describing them in words.This led me to realize that I was thinking about a powerful form of visual storytelling:Graphic novels for adults have matured and exploded in popularity in recent years.Spiegelman's "Maus:A Survivor's Tale"and Bechdel's "Fun Home"are just two well-known examples. But the storytelling tools of the graphic book have been little used to convey nonfiction science ideas to a general adult audience.The vast majority of contemporary graphic books with a science focus are presented instead as"explainer/adventure comics"for younger audiences.This is an important genre,but graphic books about science should not be limited to that. And while there are several excellent graphic books for adults that include science,they typically focus instead on the lives of famous scientists,with discussion of the science itself as a secondary goal. Some excellent recent examples that balance the two aspects well include Ottaviani and Myrick's "Feyaman"and Doxiadis and Papadimitriou's "Logicomix".The scarcity of science-focused nom-biographical(非自传体的)graphic books for adults is especially true in my field of physics..SoI decided that here was an opportunity to broaden the kinds of nonfiction science book available to engage the public 63.It can be inferred from Para.2 that the expert-voiced monologues don't appeal to A.those who are interested in scientific ideas B.those who have no talents for scientific research C.those who would like to know how scientists think D.those who think science classes in school are uninteresting 64.The word"resurrection"(in paragraph 3)most probably means A.announcement B.comeback C.explanation D.representation 65.According to the writer,which might be the best form of nonfiction science books for general readers? A.A collection of scientists'life stories. D.A book written by a Nobel Prize winner. C.An adventure novel focusing on science. D.A comic book conveying scientific ideas 66.What is passage mainly about? A.A well-known writer who writes to promote science among the public. 高二年级英语学科毪8/10 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP B.A possible way to get nonfiction science books to appeal to the public. C.A new approach to have the public get interested in new scientific ideas. D.An easy access for the public to have a general idea of what science is. Section C 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. A.The researchers then had a group of 178 outside observers rate the photos for attractiveness. B.The study isn't the first one to focus on the negative sides of the selfie craze. C.It also puts them in control of their own image. D.They were also photographed by the researchers. E.This isn't news,but those feelings are greatly strengthened when people take selfies. E.They refused to define themselves as narcissistic（自a恋的). If you like filling up your Wechat Moments with selfies,you might want to change the habit now.A new study suggests that you are probably not as beautiful as you think you are,and posting your face all over the Internet isn't giving the world the best impression. The study was conducted by researchers from the University of Toronto.The scientists gathered 198 college students.One hundred of these students were selfie-lovers,while the other 98 were non-selfie-takers. These students were asked to take a selfie fit for social media.67As a result,each participant had a selfie and a standard picture. With these pictures in hand,the students rated how attractive they thought other people would find them.68 The result:Both selfie-lovers and non-selfie-takers thought they would be seen as more attractive in their photos than they were seen by the outside group.Besides,the researcher suggests that not only do people think they are hotter than they actually are,but taking selfies also greatly decreases people's opinions of you. Then,why do so many people like taking selfies?It comes down to a well-known psychological phenomenon called "self-favouring bias",which states that "people tend to think they are better than others.._69” When taking selfies,people almost all possible control because they can adjust the angle of the shot, the filter ()when they post them to social media and every other aspect.The study suggests that this causes people to have a more narcissistic personality. 70 Last year,researchers from Ohio State University said that male selfie-lovers tend to show signs of mental disorder. Maybe it's time to cool the craze down.After all,your WeChat friends probably know what your face looks like.There is no need to remind them dozens of times a day. 71.IV.Summary Writing Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible. How to Be a Successful Team Leader? Every weH-organised team needs to have an outstanding leader with specific skills.Sometimes the leader's abilities can come to affect the whole team.Although we students are still young,it's never too early to cultivate leadership skills. 高二年级英语学科卷9/10 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP Ateam consists of both leaders and followers.Neither side can exist and work effectively without the other.What is essential to the role of leader is the ability to unite the whole team.A great leader enables their team to achieve a common goal through the giving of clear directions and support.Meanwhile, everyone on a team also desires personal success,so a balance can be hard to strike.If a leader doesn't have fierce determination the followers will lose their confidence and things will not be done well What's more,a successful and charming leader ought to be able to handle mnterpersonal relationships well.They should be honest,fair,objective and impartial (when it comes to both rewards and punishments.These kinds of leaders are trustworthy,and thus,the working atmosphere will only come to be improved.They are role models who ean-have a strong influence on the whole team. To become a powerful leader at school,students have to take the initiative in connecting with their fellow students.Good:coramunication skills allow people to build good relationships,which is an essential part of being a good leader.If you find it hard to express your ideas clearly to those who you collaborate with,it may be rather difficult for you to be a good leader. It's a well-known fact that,whatever field you wish to work in,leadership skills are necessary for anyone who desires to have a successful career So it's never too early to train yourselves as promising future leaders V.Translation Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.
