WhatsApp Lots of us use WhatsApp for messaging and calling, but do you know it also has a Live Location feature that can let a loved one know your whereabouts in case you’re in danger? You simply press the “+” key in a chat, select “Location”, and then press “Share Live Location”, which enables any participant in the chat to see your location in real time for the duration you choose. SkinVision You will have to pay for this digital skin check app, either on an ad hoc or a subscription basis, but with an estimated fifth of skin cancers going undiagnosed during lockdown, it could be well worth it. You simply take a photo of any suspicious spot with your phone and you’ll then receive a risk indication from Skin Vision’s clinically acknowledged technology within 30 seconds. StayAlive With mental health problems on the increase, this prevention app could be extremely helpful. Developed by Grassroots, it offers a wealth of resources, ranging from strategies for staying grounded when you feel overwhelmed, to breathing exercises to direct links to national and local crisis resources. St John Ambulance First Aid An app like this is more useful for saving someone else’s life than your own, but arguably it’s a must-have on your smartphone. It gives advice in dealing with emergencies, including choking, allergic reactions and performing CPR. You don’t have to have an Internet connection in order to use it. 21. What can SkinVision users do? A. They can learn first aid skills. B. They can take beautiful photos. C. They can do skin check easily. D. They can share their accurate locations. 22. What makes St John Ambulance First Aid unique? A. It helps save both users and others. B. It offers advice on mental health. C. It is accessible only to online users. D. It is of great benefit to cancer patients. 23. Which app may help track users? A. St John Ambulance First Aid. B. SkinVision. C. StayAlive. D. WhatsApp. B We were designing a wheelchair for a college engineering course. While my classmates were certain that we needed to use steel and felt only steel would be strong enough, I thought steel would be too heavy and aluminum（铝）would be a better option. But the student who strongly argued for steel worked at a bike shop. A few days later, when the big and heavy steel arm kept dropping down, I wished I had shown more determination to defend my position. I was a crafty kid. Not crafty like a fox, but crafty to the point that my parents would come home ready for whatever “artistic” explosion I had made that day — painting, clay sculpting clothes, and more. But when I studied engineering in college, these pursuits were deep-sixed. Not only was I stretched for time, but I didn’t think they were relevant to my academic work. I hesitated to highlight my female crafting interests in the male-dominated engineering environment where I already felt like an outsider. When I went on to pursue a Ph. D. early in the pandemic, I felt anxious and turned to crafting. One day I was making a set of dice as a gift for a friend. While putting the liquid resin（树脂）into the silicone mold（硅胶模具）, I made a joke to my partner that I was “injection molding” — a standard engineering manufacturing process. I suddenly realized that although resin art is not injection molding in the technical sense, it shares the spirit and probably some skills. Soon I saw more connections between engineering and crafting that I had previously ignored. And crafting taught me not to give up when my product didn’t match my initial vision and to consider the failed creation a learning experience, just as an engineer must. Since then, I’ve built crafting back into my free time. I mentioned my dice-making experience at a robotics conference and explained in a team meeting how we could gain inspiration from art experiences. I was glad that the responses were positive — not rude or unfriendly, as I used to fear. 24. What can we know about the author and her classmates? A. They didn’t get along well with each other. B. They worked part-time at a local bike shop. C. They had disagreements when creating a wheelchair. D. They knew little about the structure of wheelchairs. 25. What does the underlined word “deep-sixed” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. dug out. B. put up. C.followed through. D. put aside. 26. What did the author realize after making a gift for a friend? A. She should develop new hobbies. B. Crafting can help make her a better engineer. C. She should become more determined. D. Crafting needs great practical skills. 27. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Creative and sensitive. B. Smart but headstrong. C. Confident but unrealistic. D. Honest and frank. C Research into whether the human voice helps plants isn’t conclusive. Even so, there are convincing reasons that chatting with your houseplants is good for them—and you. In a 2022 survey by trees.com, 50 percent of the 1250 respondents reported talking to their plants. When asked why, 65 percent said they believe it helps them grow. The research, however, isn’t definitive about this point. While studies have found that vibrations（震动）caused by sound do affect plants, the jury is still out on whether the human voice offers any specific benefit. For many plant owners, though, the science is beside the point. Marquis Matson, co-founder of the blog the Indoor Nursery, says she talks to her plants every day because “it feels nice and I think plants get a sense of community from my talking to them and that keeps them going”. On the plant side, a study in a 2003 issue of the journal Ultrasonics investigated the effects of the classical music and the sounds of birds, insects and water on the growth of Chinese cabbage and cucumber. Both forms of sound exposure increased the vegetables’ growth. In a 2015 study, researchers exposed marigold （金盏花） and chickpea（鹰嘴豆） plants to light Indian music as well as to traffic noise. They found that both types of plants grew and developed better after being exposed to the music for four hours per day, but not to the traffic sounds. “Plants definitely respond to vibrations in their environment—which can cause plants to grow differently and become more resistant to falling over,” says Heidi Appel, leader of the study. She points out, “While sound absolutely matters to plants, we don’t know if talking to them makes them grow differently.” Despite the lack of studies and evidence about the benefits of talking to your plants, there is at least one theoretical bonus, “If we identify with a living organism that we’re taking care of, we’re going to take better care of it and help them thrive,” Appel says. 28. What do the underlined words “the jury is still out” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. There is uncertainty. B. The jury has decided. C. The jury is playing outside. D. People have different ideas. 29. What do Marquis Matson’s words suggest? A. Vibrations caused by sound affect plants. B. Chatting with the plants benefits both sides. C. Scientific research in this area makes no sense. D. A sense of community is a must for plants’ growth. 30. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. Traffic sounds probably have a negative influence on plant growth. B. Talking to plants can make them more sensitive to the environment. C. Plants do not fall over because of the vibrations in their environment. D. Classical music is beneficial to plant growth as sounds of nature do. 31. What is Appel’s attitude towards the study? A. Approving. B. Neutral. C. Unfavorable. D. Unclear. D This week, Google researchers published a paper describing results from an AI tool built to create music. The tool, called MusicLM, is not the first AI music tool to be launched. But the examples Google provided demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words. Several different music examples produced by MusicLM were published online. Some of the generated music came from just one- or two-word descriptions, such as “jazz”, “rock” or “techno（高科技舞曲）”. The tool also created other examples from more detailed descriptions containing whole sentences. In one example, Google researchers included these instructions to MusicLM, “It is a soundtrack of a game. It is fast-paced and upbeat, with a catchy electric guitar riff（反复乐节）. The music is repetitive and easy to remember, but with unexpected sounds...” In the resulting recording, the music seemed to keep very close to the description. The team said the more detailed the description was, the better the system could attempt to produce it. The MusicLM model operates similarly to the machine-learning systems used by ChatGPT. ChatGPT and MusicLM both require powerful computers to operate complex machine-learning models. The San Francisco-based company OpenAI launched ChatGPT late last year. ChatGPT has recently received a lot of attention because of its ability to generate complex writings and other content from just a simple description in natural languages. Such tools can produce human-like results because they are trained on huge amounts of data. Many different materials are fed into the systems to permit them to learn complex skills to create realistic works. However, the MusicLM researchers said there were some risks linked to the new tool. One of the biggest issues the researchers identified was biases（偏好）present in the training data. A bias might be including too much of one side and not enough of the other. The researchers said this raised a question about appropriateness for music generation for cultures underrepresented in the training data. 32. What can we learn about MusicLM? A. It is the first AI music tool to be launched. B. It requires detailed descriptions of full sentences. C. It creates music based on simple descriptive words. D. It generates complex writings from a simple description. 33. What is the similarity between ChatGPT and MusicLM? A. They are based on huge amounts of data. B. They have gained commercial success. C. They don’t have any practical use in life. D. They can take the place of musicians. 34. Which of the following is an issue of the MusicLM model? A. Requiring too much training data. B. Creating music with strong biases. C. Being difficult for some people to use. D. Producing music works with no creativity. 35. What would be the best title for the text? A. The future of humans with AI B. AI and its function in culture development C. Music created by some AI tools D. A new AI tool to make music 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 Dancing is natural and almost any child can dance. However, why do so many people find it hard to dance when they reach their teens or adulthood? 36 . Most people have heard the words Dance like nobody is watching. 37 . When we’re learning something new, we hate having an audience watching our silly mistakes. Actually everyone else is too busy worrying about their own mistakes. Chances are that you’re not the only one struggling with the steps! We all have patterns of muscle memory. Your body likes doing repetitive movements that it doesn’t have to think about. 38 . Your brain may understand, but it can take a while to direct your limbs to interpret these new and unfamiliar movements. Be patient with yourself and understand it’s the way your body works. 39 . If you’ve never danced before, the complex rhythms and fast footwork of flamenco（佛拉明戈舞）would be a big challenge as the first dance style. If you’re inflexible, I wouldn’t recommend starting cold with ballet, either. Instead, do some yoga first to get your body used to the new demands ballet will place on it. A lack of rhythm is the biggest obstacle to learning to dance. However, it can be overcome with enough practice. 40 . Then learn to dance when you begin to feel the beat. Dance can be a very rewarding and enjoyable hobby. Just be patient with yourself and learn to dance. A. It’s human nature to dislike looking foolish B. You’ll be able to do them almost without thinking C. If you have no rhythm, try to master dance steps first D. Learning a musical instrument is a good way to learn rhythm E. Dance requires you to move your arms and legs in unusual ways F. The other possibility is that you picked a style of dance that doesn’t suit you G. There are many things that can hold people back when they try to learn dancing 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）  阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I am a professor of psychology.

Even adults can easily learn cursive,” said Lauren Mooney Bear, president of the American Handwriting Analysis Foundation (AHAF). Including handwriting as part of curricula can bring several physical, emotional and academic benefits to students regardless of their grade level, to 60 most schools in the above states attach great importance . 61 skill can bring about “an increase in eye hand coordination, social 62 (adapt) and self confidence.” Bear also notes handwriting is a tool that, once 63 (learn), can serve students as they travel throughout their academic journey 64 beyond. “Studies have found that when students have taken notes by hand, their memory tends to be more 65 (consistency) and longer lasting,” she said. “Thus, the students do better on exams and in future endeavors, as in college exams.” 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是某国际学校学生李华，你的爱尔兰笔友Kelly对你提到的学校“多元文化日”（Multicultural Day）活动很感兴趣。请回信告知他关于该活动的相关信息。内容包括： 1． 活动时间； 2．活动目的和内容。 注意：1．写作词数应为80左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear Kelly, Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） My family moved in a small house in Brighton, Colorado on my seventh birthday. My first memory, is our neighbor Bill, an old man, handing me strawberries from his garden through a hole in the chain-link fence. “We need to make the hole bigger,” he said jokingly. Later I knew that he lived alone. Bill spent much time working in the garden, and I was always talking to him from our yard. I was a chatterbox. I think what drew me to Bill is that he never got tired of listening to me. I also think Bill saw a lot of himself in me—we were both lonely and anxious—and that may be why he always took the time to listen to me. It was a wonderful connection. There weren’t any kids of my age in the neighborhood, and my parents were very busy, so I mostly played in the yard with my dog. I had a lot of imaginary friends—a whole family, actually, with a wife, children, a best friend... no joke. Weird kid. One day, my parents asked Bill whether he’d watch me while they were away on business. This worked for everyone, so it became a somewhat monthly occurrence. Bill had a spare room in his house, which became “my” room. Bill promised to teach me to drive the lawn tractor（割草机） someday and I was always looking forward to it. In winter, Bill would attach a snowplow（铲雪机） to the front of the dawn tractor. I seriously told him that I would invent a better snowplow when I grew up. “Sure you will. You’ll get a patent certificate. It takes a certificate to prove an important thing,” Bill said with a smile. One snowy morning, an idea suddenly hit me. My parents were watching TV when I spit it out, “What if I adopted Bill as my grandpa?” My parents said I could go over and ask him. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I knocked on his door, sat down in his living room, and asked, “Can I adopt you as my grandpa?” The next morning, while learning to drive the lawn tractor with a snowplow, I accidentally plowed down our chain-link fence. 高二上英语周练（八）第 1 页 共 12 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
