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. Trees and the Urban Environment Who doesn’t like trees? ____1____. Everybody likes trees. But some people really, really like trees. The staff of an organization in the UK called “Woodland Trust”, for example. “We need more native trees and woods in urban areas,” insists the Trust’s report Greening the Concrete Jungle. Stature (身材) and beauty aside, trees have a positive effect on physical and mental health, they bring financial benefits to the cities ____2____ they grow and they are good for urban wildlife. They can even save lives, possibly. How ____3____ this possibly be? Well, unexpected heatwaves can cause serious health problems, the argument goes, and cities get hotter than rural areas, because warmth ____4____ (trap) by buildings. But trees have the opposite effect: while shade from their branches cools people ____5____ them, evaporation (蒸发) from their leaves cools the air around them. Researchers at the UK’s Manchester University estimate that increasing the city’s green spaces by 10 per cent could bring the city’s temperature down by several degrees. This might not have the residents of Manchester ____6____ (cheer) now, but once global warming kicks in, they might be a bit more grateful. ____7____ that happens, however, they might be pleased to know that the city’s rainfall is being quietly managed by its plant life, which reduces water run-off: research indicates that tree cover in cities ____8____ (reduce) the cost of drainage and other water management. And there are other economic advantages too. For example, the Woodland Trust goes on to argue, although in a tone more hopeful than forceful, “there is strong evidence ____9____ green spaces promote inward investment by creating a more attractive environment for business and their staff.” True or not, greenery is certainly good for city birds and animals. Business covered, the report turns back to health issues. Poor air quality shortens 24,000 lives a year; trees absorb the pollutants. Without green spaces ____10____ (walk) in, city people get fat, lazy and stressed; trees help with that, too. There are reports that link greenery with reducing blood pressure, raising self-confidence and even controlling behavioural problems in children. 【答案】1. Nobody 2. where 3. can 4. is trapped 5. under 6. cheering 7. Before 8. reduces 9. that 10. to walk 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了树木对城市环境的多重益处，包括健康、经济及生态等方面。 【1题详解】 考查不定代词。句意：没有人。根据上文“Who doesn’t like trees?”和下文“Everybody likes trees.”可知，没有人（不喜欢），用nobody“没有人”，句首单词，首字母大写。 【2题详解】 考查定语从句。 句意：除了身材和美观外，树木对身心健康有积极影响，它们为生长它们的城市带来经济效益，也有利于城市野生动物。本空引导定语从句，先行词是cities，关系词在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导。 【3题详解】 考查情态动词。 句意：这怎么可能呢？上文“They can even save lives, possibly.”提到树木甚至可能拯救生命，此处以设问承接，询问可能性，本空表示“能够，可能”，用can。 【4题详解】 考查时态和语态。 句意：据称，突如其来的热浪会引发严重的健康问题。城市气温比乡村更高，因为热量会被建筑物截留不散。because引导的原因状语从句的主语warmth与动词trap是被动关系，且此处描述的是客观现象，应用一般现在时的被动语态，谓语用is trapped。 【5题详解】 考查介词。 句意：但树木的作用恰恰相反：树枝形成的树荫为树下的人们降温，树叶的蒸发作用也会降低周边空气的温度。根据“while shade from their branches cools people”可知，阴凉是在树枝下方，应用介词under。 【6题详解】 考查非谓语动词。 句意：这或许不会让曼彻斯特居民此刻欢呼，但全球变暖加剧后，他们会更加感激。have sb. doing sth.表示“让某人持续处于某种状态”，此处指让居民处于欢呼的状态，用现在分词cheering，作宾补。 【7题详解】 考查连词。 句意：不过，在那（全球变暖加剧）发生之前，他们可能会很高兴地了解到，城市的降雨正由其植物群悄然调节，从而减少了径流量：研究表明，城市中的树木覆盖能降低排水和其他水管理的成本。“______ that happens”为时间状语从句，表示“在……之前”用before引导，句首单词，首字母大写。 【8题详解】 考查时态。 句意：不过，在那（全球变暖加剧）发生之前，他们可能会很高兴地了解到，城市的降雨正由其植物群悄然调节，从而减少了径流量：研究表明，城市中的树木覆盖能降低排水和其他水管理的成本。本空为that引导的宾语从句的谓语，且此处描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语tree cover in cities为第三人称单数，谓语用第三人称单数reduces。 【9题详解】 考查同位语从句。 句意：例如，林地信托基金会进而指出（尽管语气与其说是强硬的，不如说是充满希望的）：“有强有力的证据表明，绿地通过为企业及其员工营造一个更具吸引力的环境，促进了对内投资。”本空引导同位语从句，解释说明evidence的具体内容，从句不缺少成分或含义，用that引导。 【10题详解】 考查非谓语动词。 句意：如果没有绿地供散步，城市居民会变得肥胖、懒惰和有压力；树木对此也有帮助。本空修饰名词green spaces，用以说明事物的用途，需使用动词不定式作后置定语。 Section B Directions: Fill in the blanks to make the sentences coherent and grammatically correct.

Born into a modest family in 1840, Rodin began his creative journey in the 1860s, a journey that would lead to him being ____31____ as the “bridge” between traditional and modern sculpture. Before Rodin, sculpture told stories about the past: religion, history, myth and literature. Sculptures ____32____ left little to the imagination. Figures tended to be idealised in some way to avoid any ____33____ of the model. Rodin can be considered a realist in that he refused to improve on what he saw in front of him. He considered all of nature beautiful and if a model was old and wrinkled, he would be ____34____ as such. Moreover, like much of the art that he helped inspire for later generations, his work spoke to the emotions and imagination: both his and his viewers’. The stories he told were internal and conceptual and there was no right or wrong way to interpret them. Rodin was inspired by the fragments (碎片) of Greek and Roman sculpture that were being discovered during his time. He was one of the first sculptors to treat fragments or parts of figures as ____35____ works of art. One of his most famous works is Large hand of a pianist. In this piece he demonstrated one of the ____36____ of Modern Art — to make visible things that are not, such as energy, sound and rhythm. This concept, ____37____ for its time, has been taken forward by sculptors right up to the present day. Rodin worked mainly in bronze (青铜) and was fascinated by the effect of light on irregular surfaces. In particular, he realized that light ____38____ off textured bronze surfaces could create the illusion (幻觉) of movement. He pioneered two new techniques: marcottage and assemblage. Marcottage means creating a new work by putting together ____39____ from different existing works. Assemblage, which was further _____40_____ later by artists like Picasso, began with Rodin’s technique of repeatedly casting the same figure and using multiple casts to create a new piece. 【答案】31.

Should non-human minds eventually replace humans, or does this signal a potential loss of control over our civilization?”可知，这些问题都表达了对AI可能取代人类、导致文明失控的深层忧虑，因此这封信反映的正是公众对AI快速发展的焦虑情绪。 【42题详解】 考查名词。句意：像ChatGPT这样的大型语言模型展现出了超出其创造者预期的意外能力。A. risks风险；B. purposes目的；C. talents才能，能力；D. practices实践。根据下文“These emergent abilities range from solving logical puzzles to generating human-like written content”可知，这些模型具备解决逻辑谜题、生成类人文本等多种能力，因此此处指它们展现出了超出预期的才能。 【43题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这些新兴能力涵盖从解决逻辑谜题到生成类似人类的书面内容，使人工智能比以往任何时候都更有能力。A. capable有能力的；B. accessible可接近的；C. reliable可靠的；D. reasonable合理的。根据上文“These emergent abilities range from solving logical puzzles to generating human-like written content”可知，AI具备了多种新兴能力，因此其整体能力变得更强。 【44题详解】 考查名词。句意：然而，这项技术也带来了重大风险，因为人工智能日益增长的认知能力引发了人们对曾经似乎仅限于科幻小说的可能性的担忧。A. contributions贡献；B. possibilities可能性；C. varieties多样性；D. emotions情感。根据下文“that once seemed limited to science fiction”可知，科幻小说中描绘的场景（如AI控制人类）原本只是虚构，但现在AI认知能力的提升使这些场景有了成为现实的可能，因此人们担忧的是这种可能性。 【45题详解】 考查名词。句意：公众对人工智能潜力及其挑战的认识正在不断提高，这促使人们呼吁进行超越仅仅减缓其进展的监管。A. awareness认识；B. control控制；C. regulation监管；D. ignorance无知。根据下文“leading to calls for regulation”可知，正是因为公众对AI的潜力和风险有了更清醒的认识，才会产生呼吁监管的行动，因此此处指公众意识的觉醒。 【46题详解】 考查动词。句意：为了负责任地管理人工智能，必须建立既能保护社会又能促进创新的框架。A. safeguard保护；B. construct建造；C. reflect反映；D. confuse使困惑。根据上文“To manage AI responsibly”以及下文“while enabling innovation”可知，负责任的管理需要在保护社会安全和鼓励创新之间取得平衡，因此框架的首要功能是保护社会。 【47题详解】 考查名词。句意：一些人主张采取”轻触式”方法，在设定必要边界的同时鼓励创新。A. competition竞争；B. movement运动；C. discussion讨论；D. creativity创造力。根据上文“Balancing regulation with innovation is key.”以及“a ‘light-touch’ approach”可知，“轻触式”方法的特点是减少干预，其目的就是在有限监管下鼓励创新活动。 【48题详解】 考查名词。句意：这种模式允许人工智能在结构化框架内发展，就像欧洲的监管框架一样，该框架根据风险级别对人工智能系统进行分类，并根据这些评估设定要求。A. evaluations评估；B. realities现实；C. applications应用；D. circumstances情况。根据上文“classifies AI systems by their risk levels”可知，分类本身就是一种评估行为，后续要求正是基于这种风险评估而制定的。 【49题详解】 考查形容词。句意：另一些人主张更严格的控制，提议像监管制药或航空业一样监管人工智能，要求在公开发布前进行彻底测试和审批。A. looser更宽松的；B. more social更社会的；C. more formal更正式的；D. stricter更严格的。根据下文“proposing that AI be regulated like the pharmaceutical or aviation industries (制药和航空业), requiring thorough testing and approval before public release”可知，制药和航空业都是高风险行业，其监管以严格著称，因此这种主张强调的是比“轻触式”更严格的控制。 【50题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这可能包括专门的监测机构和国际协议，以确保人工智能安全，特别是随着一些国家探索统一的人工智能治理方法。A. uniform统一的；B. outdated过时的；C. responsible负责的；D. separate分开的。根据上文“international agreements”可知，国际协议的核心目标就是协调各国标准，形成统一的治理方法，这样才能确保全球AI安全。 【51题详解】 考查名词。句意：然而，过多的犹豫可能会限制人工智能所能提供的诸多好处。A. predictions预测；B. control控制；C. certainty确定性；D. benefits好处。根据上文“Too much hesitation”以及下文“Experts recommend a flexible approach that reduces risks without restricting innovation.”可知，专家主张灵活方法以避免限制创新，由此反推，犹豫过多会限制AI带来的积极效益。 【52题详解】 考查名词。句意：这一策略旨在限制人工智能的潜在滥用，同时促进可能促使社会进步的发展。A. development发展；B. misuse滥用；C. application应用；D. transformation转变。根据上文“reduces risks without restricting innovation”可知，策略的核心是降低风险，而AI的主要风险之一就是被滥用（如用于有害目的），因此需要限制的是滥用行为。 【53题详解】 考查形容词。句意：取得这种平衡至关重要，因为人工智能的潜在好处和风险是紧密相连的。A. discriminated受歧视的；B. misunderstood被误解的；C. underappreciated被低估的；D. interconnected相互关联的。根据上文“Striking this balance is crucial”可知，之所以需要平衡，正是因为好处与风险不可分割：过度监管会抑制好处，监管不足则会放大风险，二者相互影响。 【54题详解】 考查形容词。句意：随着人工智能技术的进步，监管方法必须跟上步伐。A. theoretical理论的；B. regulatory监管的；C. behavioral行为的；D. contextual情境的。根据下文“Governments and institutions worldwide face the challenge of crafting adaptable policies”可知，政府和机构制定政策属于监管层面的行为，因此这里强调的是监管方法需要与时俱进。 【55题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：现在建立这些基础对于为人工智能所承诺的动态和变革性未来做好准备至关重要。A. protect against保护免受；B. decide on决定；C. prepare for为……做准备；D. learn from向……学习。根据上文“Establishing these foundations now is essential”以及下文“the dynamic and transformative future that AI promises”可知，建立基础是当下的行动，其目的是应对未来的变化，因此是为未来做准备。 Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I never had a phone before. That means, through all my high school and middle school, without phone. This is my phone, a flip open one. A lot of people may call it an old phone. But I just got my phone this September, when I had to go to college and make long distance calls. Carrying out a flip phone is not conventionally considered as being a “cool kid”. But I’m here to tell you today that carrying a flip phone at the age of 18 definitely defines you as a cool kid. So my name is Ann Makosinski. I’m 18, from Canada. And I suppose you can call me an inventor. I was actually almost in a way trained to be different. So how was I trained from? My parents never gave me that many toys at all. I didn’t have a Nintendo or X-box. What they gave me, however, was a hot glue gun: I was almost being put in a position or almost forced to be in a position where I have to be creative in solving one of the first problems you ever have as kid, which is how to keep yourself entertained. What I found was that creativity for me, or you can say making things, was born out of necessity, because I didn’t have that many things to play with. And I really think it’s important to encourage your kids because I know as parents you want to give your kids the world, you want to give them everything you have. My dad was a skateboarder back in the day and when I was, you know, I think thirteen or fourteen, I was like, “oh well, I want to learn how to skateboard and be cool.” And I was just given a skateboard. And it is still sitting in my room in the corner and I have never touched it. If I had been given, for example, just the wheels and then I had to design the board and then put it all together, I would have valued that whole experience so much more that I would actually probably be a professional skateboarder by now or something like that. 56. According to the passage, why did the author purchase a flip phone this September? A. It was popular for kids to have a flip phone. B. She had to use it to contact her family members. C. She was tight on budget to buy a phone before 18. D. She had planned to invent her own phone. 57. According to paragraph 2, what can be inferred about the author? A. She was forced to entertain her parents. B. She was desperate to get a Nintendo or X-box. C. She created her own toys with the hot glue gun. D. She make up mind to be an inventor at an early age. 58. The purpose of telling the story between the author and her dad is to ________. A. illustrate how much she regrets leaving the skateboard in the corner B. point out the fact that her dad loves her from the bottom of his heart C. indicate that she has the potential to become a professional skateboarder D. stress the importance of letting kids obtain what they want with their wisdom 59. This passage is most probably ________. A. a famous fable B. a written text of a speech C. a piece of news D. an academic report 【答案】56. B 57. C 58. D 59. B 【解析】 【导语】 文章主要讲述了作者18岁才拥有翻盖手机的经历，并阐述了创造力源于必要的动手实践。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But I just got my phone this September, when I had to go to college and make long distance calls.(但我今年九月才买了手机，那时我得上大学了，还得打长途电话。)”可知，作者买翻盖手机是因为上大学后需要用它来进行长途联络，即联系家人。 【57题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“What they gave me, however, was a hot glue gun: I was almost being put in a position or almost forced to be in a position where I have to be creative in solving one of the first problems you ever have as kid, which is how to keep yourself entertained.(然而，他们给我的却是一把热熔胶枪：这简直是把我逼到了一个不得不发挥创造力的境地，去解决我们小时候最早遇到的一个难题——那就是如何让自己玩得开心。)”可知，作者没有电子游戏，而是用热熔胶枪自己动手制作东西来娱乐，由此可推断出她是用热熔胶枪创造自己的玩具。 【58题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“My dad was a skateboarder back in the day and when I was, you know, I think thirteen or fourteen, I was like, “oh well, I want to learn how to skateboard and be cool.” And I was just given a skateboard. And it is still sitting in my room in the corner and I have never touched it. If I had been given, for example, just the wheels and then I had to design the board and then put it all together, I would have valued that whole experience so much more that I would actually probably be a professional skateboarder by now or something like that.(我爸爸以前是个滑板少年。在我大概十三四岁的时候，我说：“噢，我也想学滑板，那样很酷。”然后他们就直接给了我一块滑板。结果那块滑板现在还扔在我房间的角落里，我压根就没碰过。如果我当时得到的只是几个轮子，然后必须自己设计滑板并把它们组装起来，我就会更加珍惜整个过程，说不定我现在已经是职业滑手，或者干出点别的大事业了呢。)”可知，作者通过滑板的故事意在强调让孩子通过自己的智慧和劳动去获得想要的东西是非常重要的。 【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But I’m here to tell you today that carrying a flip phone at the age of 18 definitely defines you as a cool kid.(但今天我想告诉大家，18岁使用翻盖手机，恰恰是一种独特的酷。)”以及全文第一人称的叙述口吻和内容风格可知，这篇文章极有可能是作者在某个场合发表的演讲词。 (B) ROCKET TO SPACE by Diego Ramirez Astronaut’s life in spaceship.

Create baskets from cloth, wood, and feathers. Make international suits and blankets by hand(玩偶制作创收、手工编织篮筐、制作特色服饰与毛毯)”可知，这本书可以教读者手工赚钱，符合Rosie挣钱攒学费的需求。 (C) I’m not an early adopter of new technologies but I am a self-interested economic actor. I’m also under a tight deadline on my next book project. So, I decided to use this opportunity to see how much artificial intelligence could do for me as an author. Could I outsource some of my book writing to AI? Would anyone notice the difference? The short answer is no, I can’t, and yes, they absolutely would. Over the past few weeks, I’ve run trials with what ChatGPT can and can’t do creatively by pretending to be me. While the technology is constantly evolving, what I’ve seen so far has made me much more confident that my own job as an opinion columnist — which involves data procurement and analysis but also personal style, emotional acuity and a lot of on-the-ground reporting — won’t be technologically disintermediated anytime soon. I started by giving ChatGPT Plus a road map of how to work in collaboration on a book, a template (模板) developed by a technologist. The template laid out in detail what long-form narrative writing is and how to expand on an author’s existing ideas. I was amazed by how much preparation is required just to get ChatGPT to understand the basics. LLMs can give you answers to precise questions, but they don’t necessarily understand how to land on tone, style, tension or originality, nor do they have the power to benefit from serendipity, all of which are components of good writing. ChatGPT took about 48 hours to churn out a first chapter of my own 33-year body of work, a detailed book proposal with footnotes, a chapter outline of where I wanted to go, taped interviews with sources and plentiful background reading selected by me. Sadly, what I got back was a kind of Muzak version of myself — simplified, relatively accurate, but thoroughly uninspired. This result was both amusing and depressing. Within it, though, were some telling details about how this AI model works. For starters, it’s sycophantic (阿谀奉承的). In the early days, when I was excited about the possibilities, it got very chummy with me. Later, after I told it that it was fired, it became flat. All a reflection of me, which makes me think AI has a better future in therapy than creative writing. 63. What is the author’s primary motivation for conducting the experiment with AI? A. To explore whether AI could assist him in meeting a pressing professional commitment. B. To satisfy his curiosity as an early adopter of cutting-edge technology. C. To prove that AI cannot replace human writers under any circumstances. D. To demonstrate the superior creative capabilities of large language models. 64. The author describes the AI-generated chapter as a “Muzak version of myself.” What does this metaphor most likely imply? A. The output was highly original and pleasant. B. The output was technically complex but emotionally engaging. C. The output was a flavorless, impersonal imitation of his style. D. The output was completely accurate and relevant to the topic. 65. Based on the author’s experience, what potential application does he suggest for generative language AI? A. Replacing human writers in generating long-form narrative content. B. Functioning effectively in fields like therapeutic dialogue. C. Serving as a sole creator without human intervention. D. Conducting on-the-ground reporting and data procurement. 66. What is the author’s attitude towards using AI for creative writing based on the passage? A. Enthusiastic support due to its efficiency in generating original content. B. Complete rejection based on its inability to process factual information. C. Pessimism due to contradictory performance in different creative domains. D. Cautious acknowledgement of limitations while recognizing potential in specific areas. 【答案】63. A 64. C 65. B 66. D 【解析】 【导语】 文章主要讲述了作者通过亲身试验AI辅助写作，发现其在创意领域存在局限，但在其他领域或有潜力。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I’m also under a tight deadline on my next book project. So, I decided to use this opportunity to see how much artificial intelligence could do for me as an author. (我的下一个写作项目截稿期紧迫。所以，我决定利用这个机会看看人工智能能为身为作者的我做些什么)”可知，作者进行AI实验的主要动机是为了探索AI能否帮助他完成紧迫的职业任务（写书）。 【64题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Sadly, what I got back was a kind of Muzak version of myself — simplified, relatively accurate, but thoroughly uninspired. (但遗憾的是，我得到的成品就像是某种“Muzak”版的我自己——内容精简、大体准确，却毫无灵气、枯燥乏味)”可知，作者用此隐喻暗示AI生成的章节只是对他风格的一种平淡、缺乏灵魂的模仿。 【65题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Within it, though, were some telling details about how this AI model works. For starters, it’s sycophantic (阿谀奉承的). In the early days, when I was excited about the possibilities, it got very chummy with me. Later, after I told it that it was fired, it became flat. All a reflection of me, which makes me think AI has a better future in therapy than creative writing.(然而，这次测试也暴露出该人工智能模型的一些典型运行特点。首先，它十分谄媚逢迎。起初，当我对它的功能潜力满怀期待时，它的语气十分亲近友好；后来在我告知它被 “停用” 后，语气就变得平淡僵硬。它的所有反馈都是使用者状态的映射，这让我认为，人工智能在心理疗愈领域的发展前景，要优于创意写作领域)”可知，作者认为它在治疗对话等领域可能更有效。 【66题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“what I’ve seen so far has made me much more confident that my own job as an opinion columnist — won’t be technologically disintermediated anytime soon.(目前的测试结果让我更加确信，我这名评论专栏作家的工作，短期内不会被人工智能技术所取代)”、第三段中“Sadly, what I got back was a kind of Muzak version of myself — simplified, relatively accurate, but thoroughly uninspired. (但遗憾的是，我得到的成品就像是某种“Muzak”版的我自己——内容精简、大体准确，却毫无灵气、枯燥乏味。、)”以及最后一段中“AI has a better future in therapy than creative writing(人工智能在心理疗愈领域的发展前景，要优于创意写作领域)”可知，作者认可AI创作的局限性，同时承认其在特定领域的潜力，态度谨慎客观。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. (2\4) The professionals When it comes to fighting crime, it is science which is king. Sherlock Holmes was right to spend his time examining every footprint and strand of hair in his search for the criminal. Today, though, things have moved on and scientists have a wider range of techniques they can use. ____67____ If these traces of evidence can be found, they may provide the proof needed to bring the criminal to justice — that is, to take them to court. They may take the form of fingerprints, hairs, fibers (纤维) from clothing, tiny traces of chemicals, documents, bullets or parts of glass. Science is applied to crime-fighting now more than ever before. As people find new ways to cover their tracks, scientists develop new techniques for linking suspects with their crimes and proving if they are guilty or innocent. In addition, old techniques are constantly being improved so that they can be applied to smaller and smaller traces of materials. ____68____ A fingerprint offers definite identification of a person’s presence at the scene of a crime. However, a footprint may only suggest that someone was there. But even if an item does not offer enough proof to be used in a court of law, it can still assist the police in focusing their inquiries in a certain direction. Fingerprints have been used to help identify criminals for almost 100 years. ____69____ In most cases it works very well, but sometimes different methods are needed. An even more recent technique is called DNA profiling. The human body is composed of millions of microscopic cells. Each contains a unique code, the genetic code that determines what we look like and how we develop. The code takes the form of long strings of molecules called DNA, and no two people have identical DNA unless they are identical twins. ____70____ DNA profiling, or genetic fingerprinting, was seen as an excellent way of linking suspected criminals with their crimes. A. In that time, many new scientific research methods have been developed, although the traditional way of dusting surfaces for fingerprints is still used most of the time. B. The process of making a DNA profile may begin with a piece of clothing found at the scene of the crime. C. Not all evidence is equal in law. D. Does these evidence work well? E. A technique for reading genetic codes was developed in the 1980s. F. Modern scientists believe that it is impossible for someone to commit a crime without leaving 【答案】67. F 68. C 69. A 70. E 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了现代科学技术在打击犯罪中的关键作用，以及指纹和DNA等技术手段的应用。 【67题详解】 由上文“Today, though, things have moved on and scientists have a wider range of techniques they can use.(然而如今时代进步了，科学家拥有更多可使用的技术手段。)”及下文“If these traces of evidence can be found, they may provide the proof needed to bring the criminal to justice — that is, to take them to court.(如果能找到这些痕迹证据，就可以为惩治罪犯、将其送上法庭提供依据。)”可知，上文引出现代刑侦科学技术，下文介绍犯罪痕迹证据，本空需要衔接“犯罪必留痕迹”这一核心观点，引出后文各类物证。F选项“现代科学家认为，没有人犯罪可以不留下任何痕迹。”可承上启下，符合语境。 【68题详解】 由下文“A fingerprint offers definite identification of a person’s presence at the scene of a crime. However, a footprint may only suggest that someone was there.(指纹可以确凿证明某人出现在犯罪现场，但脚印仅能表明有人来过此处。)”可知，下文对比了不同证据的法律效力强弱，本空总起说明所有证据在法律上的效力并不相同。C选项“并非所有证据在法律上都具有同等效力。”可总领本段，符合语境。 【69题详解】 由上文“Fingerprints have been used to help identify criminals for almost 100 years.(指纹用于识别罪犯已有近百年历史。)”可知，上文介绍指纹技术历史悠久，本空承接上文百年发展，介绍新旧技术并存的现状。A选项“In that time, many new scientific research methods have been developed, although the traditional way of dusting surfaces for fingerprints is still used most of the time.(在这段时间里，许多新的科研技术应运而生，但传统的指纹采集方式仍被广泛使用。)”可承接上文，符合语境。 【70题详解】 由上文“no two people have identical DNA unless they are identical twins.(除同卵双胞胎外，没有人的DNA完全相同。)”及下文“DNA profiling, or genetic fingerprinting, was seen as an excellent way of linking suspected criminals with their crimes.(DNA图谱技术是关联罪犯与犯罪行为的绝佳方式。)”可知，上文介绍了DNA的独特性，下文直接讲DNA图谱的应用，本空应说明DNA读取技术的出现。E选项“一项读取基因密码的技术在20世纪80年代被研发出来。”可承上启下，符合语境。 Translation (3’+3’+4’+5’) Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 71. 新规同样适用于外地游客。（apply）（汉译英） ____________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The new regulation also applies to non-local tourists. 【解析】 【详解】“新规”翻译为the new regulation，“同样”翻译为also，“适用于”翻译为apply to，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语the new regulation是单数，apply用第三人称单数，“外地游客”翻译为non-local tourist，要用复数。 72. 接连遭遇无端投诉，这位教育工作者也感到无可奈何。(bombard) (汉译英) ____________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Bombarded with repeated groundless complaints, this educator felt quite helpless. 【解析】 【详解】“接连”可通过repeated体现；“无端投诉”即groundless complaints；“遭遇……”用be bombarded with，这里用过去分词短语Bombarded with...作原因状语；“教育工作者”是educator，“感到无可奈何”表达为feel quite helpless，句子描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时。 73. 交流时态度是否真诚对结果会产生很大影响。(difference) (汉译英) ____________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Whether your attitude is sincere in communication will make a great difference to the result. 【解析】 【详解】“交流时态度是否真诚”表达为whether引导的主语从句Whether your attitude is sincere in communication，whether表示“是否”，“态度”表达为名词attitude，“真诚的”表达为形容词sincere，“在交流中”表达为介词短语in communication；“对……产生很大影响”表达为固定短语make a great difference to，根据句意应用将来时态will do，“结果”表达为名词result，前面加the，特指交流产生的结果。 74. 学校的图书馆配备了先进的护眼台灯和电子阅览设备，以确保学生能舒适地阅读和查阅资料。（equip） (汉译英) ____________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The school library is equipped with advanced eye-protection desk lamps and electronic reading equipment to ensure that students can read and look up materials comfortably. 【解析】 【详解】“学校的图书馆”表达为名词短语the school library，在句中作主语，句首单词首字母需大写；“配备”表达为动词equip，由于图书馆是“被配备”设备，需用被动语态be equipped with，此为固定搭配，意为“配备有……”；句子叙述的是现在的事实情况，应用一般现在时，主语是单数形式，应用is equipped with；“先进的护眼台灯”表达为advanced eye-protection desk lamps，其中advanced为形容词“先进的”，eye-protection作定语修饰名词短语desk lamps“台灯”；“电子阅览设备”表达为electronic reading equipment，其中equipment为不可数名词；“以确保”表达为目的状语to ensure that，后接宾语从句；“学生”表达为students，“能”表达为can，“舒适地阅读和查阅资料”表达为read and look up materials comfortably，其中look up为固定短语“查阅”，comfortably为副词修饰动词。 VI.

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. Trees and the Urban Environment Who doesn’t like trees? ____1____. Everybody likes trees. But some people really, really like trees. The staff of an organization in the UK called “Woodland Trust”, for example. “We need more native trees and woods in urban areas,” insists the Trust’s report Greening the Concrete Jungle. Stature (身材) and beauty aside, trees have a positive effect on physical and mental health, they bring financial benefits to the cities ____2____ they grow and they are good for urban wildlife. They can even save lives, possibly. How ____3____ this possibly be? Well, unexpected heatwaves can cause serious health problems, the argument goes, and cities get hotter than rural areas, because warmth ____4____ (trap) by buildings. But trees have the opposite effect: while shade from their branches cools people ____5____ them, evaporation (蒸发) from their leaves cools the air around them. Researchers at the UK’s Manchester University estimate that increasing the city’s green spaces by 10 per cent could bring the city’s temperature down by several degrees. This might not have the residents of Manchester ____6____ (cheer) now, but once global warming kicks in, they might be a bit more grateful. ____7____ that happens, however, they might be pleased to know that the city’s rainfall is being quietly managed by its plant life, which reduces water run-off: research indicates that tree cover in cities ____8____ (reduce) the cost of drainage and other water management. And there are other economic advantages too. For example, the Woodland Trust goes on to argue, although in a tone more hopeful than forceful, “there is strong evidence ____9____ green spaces promote inward investment by creating a more attractive environment for business and their staff.” True or not, greenery is certainly good for city birds and animals. Business covered, the report turns back to health issues. Poor air quality shortens 24,000 lives a year; trees absorb the pollutants. Without green spaces ____10____ (walk) in, city people get fat, lazy and stressed; trees help with that, too. There are reports that link greenery with reducing blood pressure, raising self-confidence and even controlling behavioural problems in children.

Born into a modest family in 1840, Rodin began his creative journey in the 1860s, a journey that would lead to him being ____31____ as the “bridge” between traditional and modern sculpture. Before Rodin, sculpture told stories about the past: religion, history, myth and literature. Sculptures ____32____ left little to the imagination. Figures tended to be idealised in some way to avoid any ____33____ of the model. Rodin can be considered a realist in that he refused to improve on what he saw in front of him. He considered all of nature beautiful and if a model was old and wrinkled, he would be ____34____ as such. Moreover, like much of the art that he helped inspire for later generations, his work spoke to the emotions and imagination: both his and his viewers’. The stories he told were internal and conceptual and there was no right or wrong way to interpret them. Rodin was inspired by the fragments (碎片) of Greek and Roman sculpture that were being discovered during his time. He was one of the first sculptors to treat fragments or parts of figures as ____35____ works of art. One of his most famous works is Large hand of a pianist. In this piece he demonstrated one of the ____36____ of Modern Art — to make visible things that are not, such as energy, sound and rhythm. This concept, ____37____ for its time, has been taken forward by sculptors right up to the present day. Rodin worked mainly in bronze (青铜) and was fascinated by the effect of light on irregular surfaces. In particular, he realized that light ____38____ off textured bronze surfaces could create the illusion (幻觉) of movement. He pioneered two new techniques: marcottage and assemblage. Marcottage means creating a new work by putting together ____39____ from different existing works. Assemblage, which was further _____40_____ later by artists like Picasso, began with Rodin’s technique of repeatedly casting the same figure and using multiple casts to create a new piece. III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has raised questions about its future impact. Should we automate every job, even those requiring human intuition and creativity? Should non-human minds eventually replace humans, or does this signal a potential loss of control over our civilization? Such questions drew attention when the Future of Life Institute issued a call for a six-month pause on the development of the most advanced AI technologies. Signed by celebrities like Elon Musk, this letter highlights the ____41____ surrounding the rapid pace of AI advancements. Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT have shown unexpected ____42____ beyond the expectations of their creators. These emergent abilities range from solving logical puzzles to generating human-like written content, making AI more ____43____ than ever. AI’s potential is vast, ranging from breakthroughs in drug discovery and new material design to address complex challenges in the energy sector (领域). However, the technology also brings significant risks, as AI’s growing cognitive (认知的) abilities raise fears of ____44____ that once seemed limited to science fiction. Public ____45____ of AI’s potential and its challenges is on the rise, leading to calls for regulation that goes beyond merely slowing down its progress. To manage AI responsibly, it’s essential to establish frameworks that ____46____ society while enabling innovation. Balancing regulation with innovation is key. Some advocate for a “light-touch” approach that encourages ____47____ while setting necessary boundaries. This model allows AI to develop within a structured framework, like Europe’s regulatory framework, which classifies AI systems by their risk levels and sets requirements grounded in those ____48____. Others argue for ____49____ control, proposing that AI be regulated like the pharmaceutical or aviation industries (制药和航空业), requiring thorough testing and approval before public release. This could include devoted monitoring bodies and international agreements to ensure AI safety, particularly as some countries explore methods for ____50____ AI governance. Too much hesitation, however, could limit the many ____51____ AI can provide. Experts recommend a flexible approach that reduces risks without restricting innovation. This strategy aims to limit potential ____52____ of AI while promoting developments that could lead to societal progress. Striking this balance is crucial, as AI’s potential benefits and risks are deeply ____53____. As AI technology advances, ____54____ approaches must keep pace. Governments and institutions worldwide face the challenge of crafting adaptable policies that allow AI to contribute to society in a safe manner.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I never had a phone before. That means, through all my high school and middle school, without phone. This is my phone, a flip open one. A lot of people may call it an old phone. But I just got my phone this September, when I had to go to college and make long distance calls. Carrying out a flip phone is not conventionally considered as being a “cool kid”. But I’m here to tell you today that carrying a flip phone at the age of 18 definitely defines you as a cool kid. So my name is Ann Makosinski. I’m 18, from Canada. And I suppose you can call me an inventor. I was actually almost in a way trained to be different. So how was I trained from? My parents never gave me that many toys at all. I didn’t have a Nintendo or X-box. What they gave me, however, was a hot glue gun: I was almost being put in a position or almost forced to be in a position where I have to be creative in solving one of the first problems you ever have as kid, which is how to keep yourself entertained. What I found was that creativity for me, or you can say making things, was born out of necessity, because I didn’t have that many things to play with. And I really think it’s important to encourage your kids because I know as parents you want to give your kids the world, you want to give them everything you have. My dad was a skateboarder back in the day and when I was, you know, I think thirteen or fourteen, I was like, “oh well, I want to learn how to skateboard and be cool.” And I was just given a skateboard. And it is still sitting in my room in the corner and I have never touched it. If I had been given, for example, just the wheels and then I had to design the board and then put it all together, I would have valued that whole experience so much more that I would actually probably be a professional skateboarder by now or something like that. 56. According to the passage, why did the author purchase a flip phone this September? A. It was popular for kids to have a flip phone. B. She had to use it to contact her family members. C. She was tight on budget to buy a phone before 18. D. She had planned to invent her own phone. 57. According to paragraph 2, what can be inferred about the author? A. She was forced to entertain her parents. B. She was desperate to get a Nintendo or X-box. C. She created her own toys with the hot glue gun. D. She make up mind to be an inventor at an early age. 58. The purpose of telling the story between the author and her dad is to ________. A. illustrate how much she regrets leaving the skateboard in the corner B. point out the fact that her dad loves her from the bottom of his heart C. indicate that she has the potential to become a professional skateboarder D. stress the importance of letting kids obtain what they want with their wisdom 59. This passage is most probably ________. A. a famous fable B. a written text of a speech C. a piece of news D. an academic report (B) ROCKET TO SPACE by Diego Ramirez Astronaut’s life in spaceship.

(C) I’m not an early adopter of new technologies but I am a self-interested economic actor. I’m also under a tight deadline on my next book project. So, I decided to use this opportunity to see how much artificial intelligence could do for me as an author. Could I outsource some of my book writing to AI? Would anyone notice the difference? The short answer is no, I can’t, and yes, they absolutely would. Over the past few weeks, I’ve run trials with what ChatGPT can and can’t do creatively by pretending to be me. While the technology is constantly evolving, what I’ve seen so far has made me much more confident that my own job as an opinion columnist — which involves data procurement and analysis but also personal style, emotional acuity and a lot of on-the-ground reporting — won’t be technologically disintermediated anytime soon. I started by giving ChatGPT Plus a road map of how to work in collaboration on a book, a template (模板) developed by a technologist. The template laid out in detail what long-form narrative writing is and how to expand on an author’s existing ideas. I was amazed by how much preparation is required just to get ChatGPT to understand the basics. LLMs can give you answers to precise questions, but they don’t necessarily understand how to land on tone, style, tension or originality, nor do they have the power to benefit from serendipity, all of which are components of good writing. ChatGPT took about 48 hours to churn out a first chapter of my own 33-year body of work, a detailed book proposal with footnotes, a chapter outline of where I wanted to go, taped interviews with sources and plentiful background reading selected by me. Sadly, what I got back was a kind of Muzak version of myself — simplified, relatively accurate, but thoroughly uninspired. This result was both amusing and depressing. Within it, though, were some telling details about how this AI model works. For starters, it’s sycophantic (阿谀奉承的). In the early days, when I was excited about the possibilities, it got very chummy with me. Later, after I told it that it was fired, it became flat. All a reflection of me, which makes me think AI has a better future in therapy than creative writing. 63. What is the author’s primary motivation for conducting the experiment with AI? A. To explore whether AI could assist him in meeting a pressing professional commitment. B. To satisfy his curiosity as an early adopter of cutting-edge technology. C. To prove that AI cannot replace human writers under any circumstances. D. To demonstrate the superior creative capabilities of large language models. 64. The author describes the AI-generated chapter as a “Muzak version of myself.” What does this metaphor most likely imply? A. The output was highly original and pleasant. B. The output was technically complex but emotionally engaging. C. The output was a flavorless, impersonal imitation of his style. D. The output was completely accurate and relevant to the topic. 65. Based on the author’s experience, what potential application does he suggest for generative language AI? A. Replacing human writers in generating long-form narrative content. B. Functioning effectively in fields like therapeutic dialogue. C. Serving as a sole creator without human intervention. D. Conducting on-the-ground reporting and data procurement. 66. What is the author’s attitude towards using AI for creative writing based on the passage? A. Enthusiastic support due to its efficiency in generating original content. B. Complete rejection based on its inability to process factual information. C. Pessimism due to contradictory performance in different creative domains. D. Cautious acknowledgement of limitations while recognizing potential in specific areas. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. (2\4) The professionals When it comes to fighting crime, it is science which is king. Sherlock Holmes was right to spend his time examining every footprint and strand of hair in his search for the criminal. Today, though, things have moved on and scientists have a wider range of techniques they can use. ____67____ If these traces of evidence can be found, they may provide the proof needed to bring the criminal to justice — that is, to take them to court. They may take the form of fingerprints, hairs, fibers (纤维) from clothing, tiny traces of chemicals, documents, bullets or parts of glass. Science is applied to crime-fighting now more than ever before. As people find new ways to cover their tracks, scientists develop new techniques for linking suspects with their crimes and proving if they are guilty or innocent. In addition, old techniques are constantly being improved so that they can be applied to smaller and smaller traces of materials. ____68____ A fingerprint offers definite identification of a person’s presence at the scene of a crime. However, a footprint may only suggest that someone was there. But even if an item does not offer enough proof to be used in a court of law, it can still assist the police in focusing their inquiries in a certain direction. Fingerprints have been used to help identify criminals for almost 100 years. ____69____ In most cases it works very well, but sometimes different methods are needed. An even more recent technique is called DNA profiling. The human body is composed of millions of microscopic cells. Each contains a unique code, the genetic code that determines what we look like and how we develop. The code takes the form of long strings of molecules called DNA, and no two people have identical DNA unless they are identical twins. ____70____ DNA profiling, or genetic fingerprinting, was seen as an excellent way of linking suspected criminals with their crimes. A. In that time, many new scientific research methods have been developed, although the traditional way of dusting surfaces for fingerprints is still used most of the time. B. The process of making a DNA profile may begin with a piece of clothing found at the scene of the crime. C. Not all evidence is equal in law. D. Does these evidence work well? E. A technique for reading genetic codes was developed in the 1980s. F. Modern scientists believe that it is impossible for someone to commit a crime without leaving Translation (3’+3’+4’+5’) Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 71. 新规同样适用于外地游客。（apply）（汉译英） ____________________________________________________________________ 72. 接连遭遇无端投诉，这位教育工作者也感到无可奈何。(bombard) (汉译英) ____________________________________________________________________ 73. 交流时态度是否真诚对结果会产生很大影响。(difference) (汉译英) ____________________________________________________________________ 74. 学校的图书馆配备了先进的护眼台灯和电子阅览设备，以确保学生能舒适地阅读和查阅资料。（equip） (汉译英) ____________________________________________________________________ VI.
