C Victorian state schools have blocked students and staff from ChatGPT while they assess the implications of the popular AI technology. The move comes amid fears from educators that students will use ChatGPT to cheat on as- signments,accidentally introduce inaccuracies in their work,or write essays in a way that will keep them from learning the material. The Department of Education confirmed that access to the site at Victorian government schools has been blocked from Department servers and devices as a temporary measure due to ChatGPT's terms of use specifying(明确规定)that users must be at least 18 years of age.“The department is undertaking further analysis of the implications of these emerging technologies and is preparing advice for schools,"a spokesman for the department said. Many international education bodies have banned the AI system,fearing students will use it to generate written work,although a number of educational experts have argued it has potential to help improve the work of disadvantaged students. University leaders from across Australia have held emergency meetings on how to deal with the new plagiarism()threat.They are set to meet again for further discussions.Andrew Dal- gleish,president of the Victorian Principals'Association covering primary schools,said the Vic- torian Education Department had not brought in a blanket ban but was quick to assess the benefits for teachers and children,but also the risks."We want to see schools support the safe and appro- priate use of these tools,Andrew Dalgleish said. Australian Primary Principals Association president Malcolm Elliott said it was "sensible" for schools to block access to ChatGPT."We need to approach this with our eyes open and think its negative implications as well.We have to understand this technology well and have very clear rules around how it's used,"Mr Elliott said."Clearly,artificial intelligence is here to stay and we need to come to grips with it because it will have an impact on all of our society. 28.What is the main reason for banning Victorian public schools from ChatGPT? 【U18盟校模拟卷内部专用版·英语（八）（含听力）·共8页·第4页】 A.ChatGPT sets an age limit on getting access to it. B.ChatGPT may have a negative impact on learning. C.The government hasn't put forward guiding proposals. D.Victorian public schools'devices cannot support the system. 29.What is Andrew Dalgleish's attitude towards ChatGPT? A.Opposed. B.Objective. C.Cautious. D.Doubtful. 30.Which of the following would Malcolm Elliott agree with? A.The use of ChatGPT in schools should be regulated. B.Students poor at writing should use ChatGPT wisely. C.ChatGPT should be applied to education as soon as possible. D.ChatGPT will have a significant impact on educational reforms. 31.What does the underlined phrase "come to grips with"in the last paragraph probably mean? A.Find fault with.B.Let go of. C.Make notes of. D.Face up to. D When leaves move in the gentle wind,the frequency of their vibrations may indicate whether the plant has lost too much water.This finding could lead to new ways of monitoring farm crops and help us understand how rainwater reaches the forest floor. Think of a leaf as a ruler held by one end while the other end is flicked ()says Sungh- wan Jung at Cornell University in New York.A stiffer(ruler will vibrate at a higher fre- quency than one that is more flexible. Previous studies have found that the frequency of vibrating leaves goes down as they dry out. "That's obvious because as it loses inside water pressure,the leaf will be more flexible,"says Jung.But some researchers have reported the opposite.Jung's research,which was presented at a conference of the American Physical Society,explains the inconsistency. After four days in which Jung didn't water his bean plants,60%of their leaves curled up and became stiffer.The cells in the curling leaves were packed closer,making water transport harder,which caused the edges to dry out faster than the centre.The frequency of vibrations in these leaves doubled.The other 40%of the leaves went faded;in these leaves,the vibration fre- quency decreased by 30%.Jung thinks the leaves that curl up are the younger ones,though he hasn't proved this yet. The study is exciting because it helps to understand how rainwater enters an ecosystem,says Curt Holder from the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs."During a common rainfall e- vent,an average of 15-20%of rainfall is absorbed by plants.The degree to which leaves vibrate because of raindrop impact or wind during rainfall events can influence the amount of water ab- sorbed by the leaves and branches of trees,"he says. By analyzing videos of crop fields and measuring the frequency of leaf vibrations,Jung hopes that software will be able to reveal whether the plants are experiencing water stress and give irriga- tion advice to farmers. 32.What is Jung's purpose in comparing a leaf to a ruler? A.To show their similarities. B.To provide convincing evidence. C.To make the finding understood. D.To define the vibrations of leaves. 33.What happened to the leaves that curled up in the study? A.They lost the ability to absorb water.B.They vibrated much more frequently. C.They became stiff enough to survive.D.They dried out and faded faster. 34.Which opinion does Jung most probably agree with? A.Young leaves lose water more easily.B.Vibrations make a leaf curl up easily. U18盟校模拟卷内部专用版·英语（八）（含听力）·共8页·第5页】 C.Stiffer leaves vibrate less frequently.D.Old leaves are more likely to curl up. 35.Which is the most suitable title for the text? A.Leaf vibrations can affect the amount of rainfall B.Leaf vibrations can speed up leaves fading away C.Leaf vibrations can be measured to monitor the weather D.Leaf vibrations can reveal when plants need more water 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 If you think the only advantages of learning a foreign language are speaking and hearing in a second tongue,think again.Often it's not only what we are able to do,but also who we become in learning how to do it.Here are some advantages of learning a foreign language. It increases your memory power.36 Having first to understand and then later remember grammar rules and vocabulary makes new development happen in the brain.That's why people who know more than one language are more likely to memorize information. It improves your creativity.As you start to learn a language,you learn about the culture of the place where that language is spoken.The more you learn about new cultures,the more you'll look at the world around you from different points of view.37 It helps you master your native tongue better.Children naturally pick up the native tongue they hear.38 You'll get introduced to grammar and vocabulary first.As you learn more,you understand what you know in the native tongue better.While before you couldn't quite explain a specific rule in your native tongue,learning a new language helps you put a name to it. 39 For one thing,your self-confidence grows by mastering a second language,which can help in job interviews.For another,you can also more easily communicate with other interna- tional markets,which makes you more attractive in an increasingly global economy.40 Be- cause it can increase your salary by 10%-15%according to research. A.It makes your brain grow larger. B.It leaves you an advantage in the job market. C.Knowing a foreign language never goes to waste. D.The change of views will make you more creative.

Then one of the neighbors tipped us off that a single elderly man who lived a short distance from us was seen selling vegetables in a nearby town.Benny didn't have a garden,had no regular job and lived in a small,poor house.My parents figured he was taking our vegetables to earn a few extra dollars.And later,they found it was true.My father decided to handle this situation in his own way.

51-55:DCCDA 21.D细节理解题。根据Aesthetica Creative Writing Award 2024介绍中的The competition is organized by the interna- tional art and culture magazine Aesthetica可知，该比赛由 一家国际公司组织。 22.D细节理解题。根据各赛事对词数的要求可知，Masters Review Winter Short Story Award for New Writers要求参赛 作品词数不超6000，所以John写了5500词符合该赛事 要求。 23.C细节理解题。根据各赛事对参赛作品的要求可知，这 四个比赛都提到了所提交作品应是用英文写作而成，故 选C项。 24.D推理判断题。根据第一段中的“He has always been the student who does all of his work,never misses school,al- ways helps the teacher out,and is always a happy human being,”Sofi said about Jahiem可知，Sofi说Jahiem一直 是一个做好所有功课的学生，他从不缺课、总是帮助老 师，他一直是一个快乐的人。由此可知，根据So所言， Jahiem是一个优秀的人。 25.B细节理解题。根据第二段中的Sofi kept in mind that Jahiem was in need of shoes and she wanted to help her friend.Finally,Sofi had the way and the confidence to help out

improves your creativity可知，本空应该是角度变换 对创造力的提升，即“角度的转换会让你更有创造力”， 因此D项最合适。 38.G空前提到孩子们自然而然地就学会了他们听到的母 语，再结合空后的“你会先了解语法和词汇”可知，本空 内容是说学习外语和学习母语是不同的。G项“然而， 学习另一种语言是完全不同的事情”符合逻辑。 39.B根据该段中的which can help in
