If all the world is a stage and all the men and women merely players, where does that leave non-human figures, like artificial intelligence chatbots? As it turns out, AI can hold its own against humans when it comes to writing poetry.AI chatbots can imitate famous poets like William Shakespeare well enough to fool many human readers, according to a new paper published Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports.In addition, many study participants actually preferred the chatbot's poetry over the works of well-known writers.
In an experiment, researchers asked a group of participants to read and rate poems on 14 qualities, ranging from rhythm to originality.The participants were given a mix of poems written by humans and by AI, and the scientists didn't share anything about the poems' authorship.The team uncovered a surprise: The participants who didn't know anything about the poems' origins gave higher ratings, on average, to those written by the chatbot.
Why do readers seem to prefer AI-generated poetry? It's not entirely clear, but part of guess is that they are relatively straightforward and simple to comprehend.Understanding poems written by humans requires deep, critical thinking — and that's a big part of poetry's appeal.But modern readers don't seem to want to do this labor, preferring texts that give them “instant answers”.
The study's findings seem to confirm (证实) some fears about AI, which is that they'll one day replace human artists and put them out of work.But 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 tells the media.“If these people in the study read AI poems and liked that poem better than a human-generated poem, then that, to me, is beautiful.They had 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.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究表明,在诗歌创作领域,人工智能可与人类抗衡。
8.What is the main idea of paragraph 1?

B.AI performs well in poetry writing.
C.AI is so playful that it fools the readers.
D.AI works well together with all humans.
解析:选B 段落大意题。根据第一段可知,本段主要讲的是AI在写诗方面表现很好。
9.What were participants asked to do with the given poems in the experiment?
A.Identify their authors.
B.Discuss their meanings.
C.Grade them from different aspects.
D.Compare them with their own poems.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In an experiment, researchers asked a group of participants to read and rate poems on 14 qualities, ranging from rhythm to originality.”可知,在实验中,参与者被要求对给定的诗歌从不同方面打分。

A.Doubtful. B.Welcoming.
C.Passionate. D.Indifferent.
解析:选B 观点态度题。根据最后一段中Lasky说的话可知,Lasky对人工智能生成的诗歌持欢迎态度。

“Mathematical symbolism and metaphor (隐喻) are present in every kind of literature, from fairy tales to War and Peace,” says mathematician Sarah Hart.In Once Upon a Prime, she lays_bare some of this hidden math and meaning in a host of poetry, novels and legends.
She starts with nursery rhymes, often full of counting — such as One, Two, Buckle My Shoe — showing how numbers go into our very first encounters with the world of words.This is not just through counting but also through the rhythms and rhyme patterns.It's also through trebling — where a word or phrase is repeated three times, such as “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”.
The number three is everywhere in common expressions — “Ready, Set, Go!” or “Learning your ABCs”. It's also central to story structure.Characters tend to come in threes, too, like The Three Little Pigs, and even in jokes.
Hart suggests this emphasis on three has some basis in geometry.Three is the smallest number of sticks that can make a triangle.Therefore the number three is given “a sense of strength and completeness,” Hart writes.
For a book about math and literature, it's not surprising that Hart focuses quite a bit on poetry, which is often defined by patterns of some sort.Perhaps more meaningful is her look at how math also creates the structure of novels.
Some readers may wonder if Hart's love of math simply leads her to find these patterns in literature.But the chances must be extremely high for the examples she presents to be only chance.
Hart's simple breakdowns of both math and literature make the book easy for anyone to follow, no matter their proficiency in either subject.Not everyone will finish the book and discover the mathematical treasures hidden in a book or poem.But that takes little away from the pleasure of reading it.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了数学家莎拉·哈特所著的《昔日盛世》,书中揭示了文学中隐藏的数学元素及意义,并阐述了数学对文学结构的影响。

A.Picks. B.Creates.
C.Uncovers. D.Receives.
解析:选C 词义猜测题。根据画线词前文“‘Mathematical symbolism and metaphor are present in every kind of literature, from fairy tales to War and Peace,’ says mathematician Sarah Hart.”可知,莎拉·哈特认为文学作品中都存在着数学象征和隐喻,所以莎拉·哈特在她作品《昔日盛世》揭示了诗歌、小说和传说中隐藏的数学和意义。故画线短语意为“揭露,揭示”。
13.How does Sarah Hart support her opinions in her book?
A.By referring to a subject.
B.By drawing comparisons.
C.By providing examples.
D.By using experts' words.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第二段中“She starts with nursery rhymes, often full of counting — such as One, Two, Buckle My Shoe — showing how numbers go into our very first encounters with the world of words.”及第三段内容可知,莎拉·哈特在书中通过列举童谣、常见表达、故事等例子来支持她的观点。
14.What is a feature of Once Upon a Prime according to the text?
A.It highlights the charm of poetry.
B.It focuses on the origin of geometry.
C.It explains a difficult mathematical theory.
D.It reveals the mathematical impact on novels.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Perhaps more meaningful is her look at how math also creates the structure of novels.”可知,《昔日盛世》这本书揭示了数学对小说的影响。
15.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A Glimpse into Mathematics
B.The Hidden Math in Literature
C.Strength and Completeness of Numbers
D.Mathematical Symbolism and Metaphor
解析:选B 标题归纳题。通读全文,并结合第一段可知,本文主要介绍了数学家莎拉·哈特在她的著作《昔日盛世》中揭示了诗歌、小说和传说等文学作品中隐藏的数学元素和意义。故B项“文学中隐藏的数学”适合作为文章标题。

39.which 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整个句子,在从句中作主语,故用关系代词which引导。
40.and 考查连词。根据句意可知,mountains, rivers和the changing seasons之间是并列关系,故用连词 and连接。
41.depth 考查名词。根据空前形容词可知,此处应用名词形式。故填depth。
42.globally 考查副词。此处应用副词修饰inspiring poets and writers,故填globally。
43.expanding 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果,故用现在分词expanding。
44.to 考查介词。contribution to ...是固定短语,意为“对……的贡献”。故填to。
45.greatest 考查形容词最高级。“one of the+形容词最高级+名词复数”是固定结构,意为“最……之一”,故填greatest。

An activity named Reading Classic Works was held in our school last week with the aim of inspiring students' interest in reading.
More than 1,000 students took part in the activity.We read classic works, which covered a wide variety of subjects and content, ranging from traditional Chinese tales to Western classics.During the activity, we exchanged ideas about the books that we had read and shared the feelings while reading.
Not only did it serve as a stage for us to exchange ideas, but also it promoted universal reading on campus.
第二节(满分25分)
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。
18-year-old Sadiya was born in Deora, a small village in eastern India, but moved to the city of Mumbai when she was three. Her father's small business was forced to close temporarily in 2020 and the family returned to her ancestral village.
However, it greatly shocked her when she found that attending school was uncommon in Deora, where almost half of the villagers couldn't read.Unable to afford textbooks, many families often withdrew their children from schools.They didn't wish to educate their children, many of whom had to work in the fields with parents though some had the desire to read.
Sadiya, the college girl with a strong sense of social responsibility, has been trying to seize opportunities to open doors for others.Fluent in Hindi, Urdu, and English, she often speaks at inter-college events on the right to education and enjoys a high reputation among college students.
Used to taking on challenges, Sadiya was determined to do something for the children.One day last July, Sadiya sat down with her family elders and proposed the idea of setting up a library.Many shook their heads in disagreement — this wasn't how a young girl should spend her time.
After many discussions, Sadiya finally convinced them and gained access to her relative's guesthouse, mending it with D|S67 that she'd won in public-speaking awards.She took the help of her uncle, Akbar, and cousin, Nawaz, and got to work.Walls were repainted, the bamboo roof was repaired and lights and bookshelves were fixed, and the room was filled with chairs and a long table.Vivid charts stuck on the walls — from anatomy (解剖) to transportation, lightened the space.Looking at the newly-decorated “library”, Sadiya couldn't hold back her excitement while imagining the children reading books here by light.
All was ready except books.So what Sadiya was desperate to do next was fill the shelves with books.She drew on all her savings and purchased many books suitable for children online.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
But these books were far from enough.

But these books were far from enough.To ensure children get access to more books, Sadiya took pictures of the library and uploaded them online, calling on students to donate books to the children library.Before long, hundreds of new and second-hand books poured in, but they needed checking, classifying and arranging in order on the shelves, which took Sadiya, her uncle and cousin a whole week.Tired as Sadiya was, a smile lit up her face when she pictured the scene where children were buried in reading by the book-filled shelves.
With everything ready, the library finally opened.Several children stepped in curiously, asking Sadiya, “Can we read the books?” “Sure.Welcome!” Sadiya encouraged them.Some chose what they liked, while others hesitated.Realizing they had trouble reading, Sadiya gathered them in a corner, teaching them from the very beginning.Soon more children joined in.Every night Sadiya spared some time to give lessons so that more children could gain knowledge from the books.Sadiya's efforts opened the wisdom door for them, which would surely make a great difference to their lives.
