Here are some top unmissable festivals from around the world. Rio Carnival, Brazil It is a five-day festival which takes place forty days before Easter. Rio de Janeiro has earned its title as the Carnival capital of the world with its famous samba dancing, colourful eye-catching clothes and live music. Holi Festival, India Holi is a Hindu spring festival, also known as the “festival of colours”. It is a sign of the victory of good over evil, the end of winter, and the arrival of spring. Starting with a nighttime bonfire where people gather, sing and dance, Holi is celebrated the next day by people throwing coloured powder and water at each other. St. Patrick’s Day, Ireland Held on March 17 every year, it is a celebration to mark the death of Ireland’s patron saint (守护神) Saint Patrick. Since 1996, an entire festival of parades, fireworks as well as food and drinks has surrounded the celebration.

(欣赏传统歌曲和舞蹈，观看音乐街头戏剧表演，并穿上全绿色的衣服来庆祝爱尔兰遗产和文化。)”可知，圣帕特里克节的活动包括传统歌舞、街头戏剧表演和穿绿色衣服，文中未提及传统艺术展。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Rio Carnival, Brazil部分中“It is a five-day festival (这是一个为期五天的节日)”可知，里约狂欢节持续5天；根据Holi Festival, India部分中“Starting with a nighttime bonfire where people gather, sing and dance, Holi is celebrated the next day by people throwing coloured powder and water at each other. (洒红节以一个夜间篝火活动开始，人们聚集在一起唱歌跳舞；第二天，人们通过互相抛洒彩色粉末和泼水来庆祝。)”可知，洒红节持续2天；根据St. Patrick’s Day, Ireland部分中“Held on March 17 every year (每年3月17日举行)”可知，圣帕特里克节持续1天；根据Burning Man Festival, United States部分中“As a week-long event (作为一个为期一周的活动)”可知，火人节持续7天。因此火人节持续时间最长。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Rio Carnival, Brazil部分中“its famous samba dancing (其著名的桑巴舞)”、Holi Festival, India部分中“people gather, sing and dance (人们聚集、唱歌和跳舞)”、St. Patrick’s Day, Ireland部分中“Enjoy traditional songs and dances (欣赏传统歌曲和舞蹈)”、Burning Man Festival, United States部分中“followed by a big dance party that lasts all night long (随后是一场持续整晚的大型舞会)”可知，跳舞是这些节日共同的庆祝方式。 B Whenever I think of Ms. Anita Moore, I always smile and feel lucky to have her as my teacher. All of her students knew she loved being a teacher. Her classroom was always a safe place where we were encouraged to share, think, and express ourselves. One of the memories that always stuck with me was a reading class when Ms. Moore read a story aloud and started to cry. The main character in the story reminded her of her grandmother. She stopped to share about her relationship with her grandmother and made the connection as to how that relationship helped understand the story. Ms. Moore tried her best to make a connection with each student in her classroom. She knew what we liked and used that information to bring our interests into the classroom. That is one of the reasons why Ms. Moore will always be my favourite teacher. She brought various types of books to our classroom and allowed us to take them home. It was she that helped my love for reading grow. Ms. Moore also went beyond classroom instruction. She decided that our school should have a choir (合唱团) and that all of her students should audition (试演). Without her, I would never have taken part in this type of after-school activity. Once it was time for the annual 5th grade weekend camping trip, my parents refused to let me attend. Ms. Moore came to my home to persuade (说服) them. Although I was still not allowed to go, it was amazing to me that a teacher would visit my home to help me be part of a school tradition with my classmates. Ms. Moore was a wonderful example of a caring teacher. From her, I’ve learned to make connections with students and look for ways to help them learn and feel successful. 4. Why did Ms. Moore cry in the reading class? A. The story was too sad. B. She was moved by the students. C. She thought of her own grandmother. D. She helped her students understand the story. 5. What can we learn about Ms. Moore from Paragraph 3? A. She was good at writing books. B. She bought many books for poor students. C. She inspired the writer’s love for reading. D. She was the favourite teacher of the whole class. 6. Which of the following can best describe Ms. Moore? A. Positive and humorous. B. Responsible and caring. C. Inspiring and strict. D. Knowledgeable and confident. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To express opinions on teaching literature. B. To discuss how to become a caring teacher. C. To introduce the classes and activities in her school. D. To share her memory about her teacher, Ms. Moore. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述作者对安妮塔·摩尔老师的美好回忆。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One of the memories that always stuck with me was a reading class when Ms. Moore read a story aloud and started to cry. The main character in the story reminded her of her grandmother. (让我一直铭记的一段回忆是在阅读课上，摩尔老师大声朗读一个故事时开始哭泣。故事中的主角让她想起了自己的祖母。)”可知，摩尔老师在阅读课上哭泣是因为她想起了自己的祖母。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“She brought various types of books to our classroom and allowed us to take them home. It was she that helped my love for reading grow. (她把各种各样的书带到我们教室，还允许我们把书带回家。正是她帮助我对阅读的热爱不断增长。)”可知，摩尔老师激发了作者对阅读的热爱。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Ms. Moore tried her best to make a connection with each student in her classroom. (摩尔老师尽力与教室里的每个学生建立联系。)”以及第四段“Ms. Moore also went beyond classroom instruction. She decided that our school should have a choir (合唱团) and that all of her students should audition (试演). (摩尔老师还不局限于课堂教学。她决定我们学校应该有一个合唱团，并且她所有的学生都应该参加试演。)”和“Ms. Moore came to my home to persuade (说服) them. (摩尔老师来到我家去说服他们。)”可知，摩尔老师关心学生，并且对教学工作尽职尽责。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Whenever I think of Ms. Anita Moore, I always smile and feel lucky to have her as my teacher. (每当想起安妮塔·摩尔，我总会心生笑意，也很庆幸曾有她做我的恩师。)”可知，文章围绕作者对摩尔老师的回忆展开，讲述了摩尔老师在课堂上、激发阅读兴趣以及组织课后活动等方面的事，所以作者写这篇文章的目的是分享对摩尔老师的回忆。 C To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains, but at first the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade (遮挡) against the sun! Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the eleventh century B. C. We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honour. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was commonly used in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered as a symbol of power. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later in England. By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colours. 8. Where was the umbrella probably first used according to the text? A. In ancient China. B. In ancient Greece. C. In ancient Egypt. D. In ancient Rome. 9. What can we know about the umbrella from the text? A. Scientists already knew exactly who invented the umbrella. B. The umbrella changed much in style in the eighteenth century. C. The Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade in Europe. D. The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection against the rain. 10. What was special about the umbrella during the Middle Ages? A. It disappeared completely. B. It was made much lighter. C. It was used as women’s decoration. D. It was seen as a symbol of power. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The meaning of the umbrella. B. The history and use of the umbrella. C. When and how the umbrella was invented. D. Why the umbrella was so popular in Europe. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以雨伞的发展历程为主线，介绍其从最初作为遮阳工具的功能起源，到不同历史时期与地域的用途演变及文化象征。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the eleventh century B. C.( 最早使用它的可能是公元前11世纪的中国人)”可知，雨伞很可能最早在中国被使用。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.( 在欧洲，希腊人是最早把伞用作遮阳的人)”可知，希腊人是欧洲最早把伞用作遮阳伞的人。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered as a symbol of power.( 在中世纪，伞的使用几乎消失了。16世纪后期，它又出现在意大利。它再次被认为是权力的象征)”可知，中世纪伞的特别之处是它被视为权力的象征。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章从雨伞最早的使用（在中国，最初用于遮阳），到在古埃及、巴比伦、古希腊、古罗马等不同地区的使用情况，以及在中世纪的消失、之后在意大利的再次出现、在欧洲其他国家的传播，还提到了雨伞风格和用途等方面的变化，主要讲述的是雨伞的历史和用途。故选B项。 D More American businesses are starting to use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to come up with new ideas and to deal with customers. Mattel is known for making children’s toys. The company recently used an AI image generator (生成器) called DALL-E to come up with ideas for new Hot Wheels toy cars. The used vehicle seller CarMax is using ChatGPT to gather thousands of customer comments. The social media service Snapchat has added a chatbot (聊天机器人) to its messaging service. And Instacart, a delivery service, now uses ChatGPT to answer food questions. Even the Coca-Cola company plans to use AI to help create new marketing content. It has not said exactly how it plans to use the technology. But the move shows that businesses are under pressure to use the tools that many of their employees and customers are already trying on their own. Some experts warn that businesses should carefully consider possible harms to customers, society, and their own companies before choosing to use AI tools in the workplace. Chaire Leibowicz works at The Partnership on AI, a nonprofit group. The group recently released recommendations for companies producing AI-generated images, audio and other media. “I want people to think deeply before deploying this technology,” Leibowicz said. “They should play around... but we should also think, what purpose are these tools serving in the first place?” While text generators like ChatGPT can make the process of writing emails and marketing documents faster and easier, they also appear to present misinformation as fact. And image generators like DALL-E are trained in copying widely available digital art and photography. This has raise copyright(版权) concerns from the creators of those works. “It is safer to use AI tools as a ‘thought partner ‘but still people as the creator of final products.” said Anna Gressel. She works at the law company Debevoise &. Plimpton, which advises businesses on how to use AI. 12. Which company made creative products with AI tools’ help? A. Mattel. B. Instacart. C. CarMax. D. Snapchat. 13. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. Customers are more and more connected online. B. AI tools are widely used to help businesses grow. C. People spend too much time on AI in their daily life. D. AI tools have an influence on improving business conditions. 14. What does the underlined word “deploying” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Applying effectively. B. Improving successfully. C. Debating freely. D. Presenting confidently. 15. What does Anna Gressel think of AI tools? A. They are useless. B. They can create more products. C. They do serious harm to customers. D. They should just be humans’ assistants. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了人工智能工具在美国的流行使用及社会各界对此现象的观点与看法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The company recently used an AI image generator (生成器) called DALL-E to come up with ideas for new Hot Wheels toy cars.(该公司近期利用一款名为“DALL-E”的人工智能图像生成器，为新款“热轮”玩具车构思了设计方案)”可知, 儿童玩具公司Mattel最近利用人工智能图片生成器DALL-E为新的风火轮玩具车提供创意，也就是说，该玩具公司在人工智能的帮助下生产出富有创意的产品。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Mattel is known for making children’s toys. The company recently used an AI image generator (生成器) called DALL-E to come up with ideas for new Hot Wheels toy cars. The used vehicle seller CarMax is using ChatGPT to gather thousands of customer comments. The social media service Snapchat has added a chatbot (聊天机器人) to its messaging service. And Instacart, a delivery service, now uses ChatGPT to answer food questions. Even the Coca-Cola company plans to use AI to help create new marketing content. It has not said exactly how it plans to use the technology.(美泰公司以生产儿童玩具而闻名。该公司最近使用了一种名为DALL-E的人工智能图像生成器来为新的风火轮玩具车提供创意。二手车销售商CarMax正在使用ChatGPT收集数千条客户评论。社交媒体服务Snapchat在其即时通讯服务中增加了一个聊天机器人。外卖服务Instacart现在使用ChatGPT来回答有关食物的问题。甚至可口可乐公司也计划使用人工智能来帮助创造新的营销内容。该公司尚未明确表示计划如何使用这项技术)”可知，人工智能工具被广泛应用，助推企业发展。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Some experts warn that businesses should carefully consider possible harms to customers, society, and their own companies before choosing to use AI tools in the workplace.(一些专家警告说，在选择在工作场所使用人工智能工具之前，企业应该仔细考虑对客户、社会和自己公司可能造成的危害)”及本句““I want people to think deeply before deploying this technology,” Leibowicz said.(“我希望人们在deploying这项技术之前能深思熟虑，”莱博维茨说)”可知，专家与Leibowicz都是在针对人工智能技术的利用提建议。由此推知，画线单词deploying意为“有效利用”。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is safer to use AI tools as a ‘thought partner ‘but still people as the creator of final products.(使用人工智能工具作为“思想伙伴”更安全，但人类仍然是最终产品的创造者)”可知，Anna Gressel的话旨在说明人类应该是技术的主宰者，是最终产品的创造者，技术只是帮助人类的“思想伙伴”而已。所以人工智能工具只是人类的助手。故选D。 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。 After months of winter, it lifts your spirits to see the natural world wake up in spring.

(你可能会注意到蜜蜂、蝴蝶、巢穴中的小鸟或河中的鸭子。即使在城市里，你也可以听到鸟鸣，找到蜘蛛网，看到植物在人行道裂缝中生长。如果你留意它们，周围都有春天的迹象。)”都是在说春天的迹象。故选F项。 【18题详解】 前问“That’s because you’re lost in thought about something that just happened. Your thoughts often take you on journeys into the past or future.(那是因为你迷失在对刚刚发生的事情的思考中。你的思想经常带你进入过去或未来的旅程。)”与空后“By paying attention to what is here now, you can enjoy life’s little pleasures more and worry less. (通过关注现在的情况，你可以更多地享受生活中的小乐趣，少一些担忧。)”为转折关系，与G项“However being out in the open is a great way to focus on the present(然而，公开是专注于当下的好方法)”引起下文，下文指出了专注的好处，同时和上文是转折关系，故选G项。 【19题详解】 此处是本段小标题，下文“You have several senses-sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. Explore how many of your senses you can use in nature. (你有几种感官——视觉，听觉，嗅觉，味觉和触觉。探索您可以在大自然中使用多少感官。)”提出用感官来体验大自然，A项“Use all your senses to experience nature(用你所有的感官来体验大自然)”能概括本段内容，故选A项。 【20题详解】 前文“If you’re with a friend or family member, talk about what you’re seeing. (如果您与朋友或家人在一起，请谈谈您所看到的内容。)”提到和家人朋友在一起的时候，谈谈所看到的内容，空处承接上文，指出这么做的好处，C项“It will help you both enjoy your time outdoors(它将帮助你们俩享受户外时光)”符合，且C项的“you both”呼应上文中出现的“you’re with a friend or family member”。故选C项。 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。 Cats bring bad luck.

I decided to walk to the neighbourhood store where it sold my favourite thing, ice cream. I pulled a friend towards the ice cream store, almost passing out from the burning sun on the way. As we walked on, my friend kept saying that it was too hot. She thought that she was stupid to decide to come with me to buy ice cream. I felt sorry and tried to encourage her. “We’re almost there. Just think of the cool and sweet taste of ice cream in your mouth. It’ll be worth the walk,” I told her. But I had to admit that the store was quite far from our houses. During the journey, my mouth began to become dry and I wanted to drink. When we were about a block away from the store, I noticed an old lady who was walking in our direction. She was about 70 years old. She had a big back problem, so she was unable to keep her back straight. She was struggling, pushing a shopping cart (购物车) full of things like the soap, bread and water. With each step towards her, we began to see her appearance more clearly. It appeared that she was often unhappy and easy to get angry. I looked at my friend to see if she had noticed her. I could see that she had and that she disliked the old lady due to the lady’s appearance. As we approached the lady pushing the shopping cart, my friend directed me away from the old lady and the cart. I began to observe other passers-by. They were also trying to avoid her. Suddenly I heard a loud sound behind me. I quickly turned around to see what it was. I found the lady’s cart had been knocked over by something on the ground. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Things in the shopping cart like the soap all dropped on the ground. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then we quickly walked towards the lady. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Things in the shopping cart like the soap all dropped on the ground. I watched in shock as the lady bent down slowly and tried hard to collect her things. I turned to my friend and asked, “Shall we go and help her?” “It is not we who knocked her shopping cart over,” my friend said impatiently, walking ahead. I stood there for a moment, suddenly feeling sorry for this pitiful lady. “I'll help her,” I said with determination. Then we quickly walked towards the lady. “Let me help you,” I said as I helped her get the cart up. The lady looked up and said tearfully, “Thank you!” Then I helped her put things back into her cart. To my surprise, some passers-by joined me, including my friend. With everything put into her cart, my friend and I helped push it to her house. If it were not for the incident, we would have had delicious ice cream to eat, but we didn't feel regretful, for what we did was meaningful. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和朋友去买冰淇淋的时候，注意到了一个背部有严重问题的老太太的购物车翻了，东西都掉到了地上，作者和朋友帮助她把东西都捡了起来。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“购物车里的东西，比如肥皂，全都掉到了地上”可知，第一段可描写老太太东西掉了以后的反应以及作者对此的做法。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后我们迅速朝那位女士走去”可知，第二段可描写作者他们帮助老太太捡东西。 2.续写线索：东西掉到地上——老太太弯腰捡东西——作者为女士感到难过——作者和朋友帮助老太太捡东西——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①捡起：collect /pick up ②往前走：walk ahead /go ahead ③放入：put into/ place into 情绪类 ①可怜的：pitiful / poor ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] It is not we who knocked her shopping cart over (运用了强调句) [高分句型2] If it were not for the incident, we would have had delicious ice cream to eat, but we didn't feel regretful, for what we did was meaningful.

All of her students knew she loved being a teacher. Her classroom was always a safe place where we were encouraged to share, think, and express ourselves. One of the memories that always stuck with me was a reading class when Ms. Moore read a story aloud and started to cry. The main character in the story reminded her of her grandmother. She stopped to share about her relationship with her grandmother and made the connection as to how that relationship helped understand the story. Ms. Moore tried her best to make a connection with each student in her classroom. She knew what we liked and used that information to bring our interests into the classroom. That is one of the reasons why Ms. Moore will always be my favourite teacher. She brought various types of books to our classroom and allowed us to take them home. It was she that helped my love for reading grow. Ms. Moore also went beyond classroom instruction. She decided that our school should have a choir (合唱团) and that all of her students should audition (试演). Without her, I would never have taken part in this type of after-school activity. Once it was time for the annual 5th grade weekend camping trip, my parents refused to let me attend. Ms. Moore came to my home to persuade (说服) them. Although I was still not allowed to go, it was amazing to me that a teacher would visit my home to help me be part of a school tradition with my classmates. Ms. Moore was a wonderful example of a caring teacher. From her, I’ve learned to make connections with students and look for ways to help them learn and feel successful. 4. Why did Ms. Moore cry in the reading class? A. The story was too sad. B. She was moved by the students. C. She thought of her own grandmother. D. She helped her students understand the story. 5. What can we learn about Ms. Moore from Paragraph 3? A. She was good at writing books. B. She bought many books for poor students. C. She inspired the writer’s love for reading. D. She was the favourite teacher of the whole class. 6. Which of the following can best describe Ms. Moore? A. Positive and humorous. B. Responsible and caring. C. Inspiring and strict. D. Knowledgeable and confident. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To express opinions on teaching literature. B. To discuss how to become a caring teacher. C. To introduce the classes and activities in her school. D. To share her memory about her teacher, Ms. Moore. C To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains, but at first the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade (遮挡) against the sun! Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the eleventh century B. C. We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honour. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was commonly used in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered as a symbol of power. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later in England. By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colours. 8. Where was the umbrella probably first used according to the text? A. In ancient China. B. In ancient Greece. C. In ancient Egypt. D. In ancient Rome. 9. What can we know about the umbrella from the text? A. Scientists already knew exactly who invented the umbrella. B. The umbrella changed much in style in the eighteenth century. C. The Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade in Europe. D. The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection against the rain. 10. What was special about the umbrella during the Middle Ages? A. It disappeared completely. B. It was made much lighter. C. It was used as women’s decoration. D. It was seen as a symbol of power. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The meaning of the umbrella. B. The history and use of the umbrella. C. When and how the umbrella was invented. D. Why the umbrella was so popular in Europe. D More American businesses are starting to use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to come up with new ideas and to deal with customers. Mattel is known for making children’s toys. The company recently used an AI image generator (生成器) called DALL-E to come up with ideas for new Hot Wheels toy cars. The used vehicle seller CarMax is using ChatGPT to gather thousands of customer comments. The social media service Snapchat has added a chatbot (聊天机器人) to its messaging service. And Instacart, a delivery service, now uses ChatGPT to answer food questions. Even the Coca-Cola company plans to use AI to help create new marketing content. It has not said exactly how it plans to use the technology. But the move shows that businesses are under pressure to use the tools that many of their employees and customers are already trying on their own. Some experts warn that businesses should carefully consider possible harms to customers, society, and their own companies before choosing to use AI tools in the workplace. Chaire Leibowicz works at The Partnership on AI, a nonprofit group. The group recently released recommendations for companies producing AI-generated images, audio and other media. “I want people to think deeply before deploying this technology,” Leibowicz said. “They should play around... but we should also think, what purpose are these tools serving in the first place?” While text generators like ChatGPT can make the process of writing emails and marketing documents faster and easier, they also appear to present misinformation as fact. And image generators like DALL-E are trained in copying widely available digital art and photography. This has raise copyright(版权) concerns from the creators of those works. “It is safer to use AI tools as a ‘thought partner ‘but still people as the creator of final products.” said Anna Gressel. She works at the law company Debevoise &. Plimpton, which advises businesses on how to use AI. 12. Which company made creative products with AI tools’ help? A. Mattel. B. Instacart. C. CarMax. D. Snapchat. 13. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. Customers are more and more connected online. B. AI tools are widely used to help businesses grow. C. People spend too much time on AI in their daily life. D. AI tools have an influence on improving business conditions. 14. What does the underlined word “deploying” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Applying effectively. B. Improving successfully. C. Debating freely. D. Presenting confidently. 15. What does Anna Gressel think of AI tools? A. They are useless. B. They can create more products. C. They do serious harm to customers. D. They should just be humans’ assistants. 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。 After months of winter, it lifts your spirits to see the natural world wake up in spring.

I decided to walk to the neighbourhood store where it sold my favourite thing, ice cream. I pulled a friend towards the ice cream store, almost passing out from the burning sun on the way. As we walked on, my friend kept saying that it was too hot. She thought that she was stupid to decide to come with me to buy ice cream. I felt sorry and tried to encourage her. “We’re almost there. Just think of the cool and sweet taste of ice cream in your mouth. It’ll be worth the walk,” I told her. But I had to admit that the store was quite far from our houses. During the journey, my mouth began to become dry and I wanted to drink. When we were about a block away from the store, I noticed an old lady who was walking in our direction. She was about 70 years old. She had a big back problem, so she was unable to keep her back straight. She was struggling, pushing a shopping cart (购物车) full of things like the soap, bread and water. With each step towards her, we began to see her appearance more clearly. It appeared that she was often unhappy and easy to get angry. I looked at my friend to see if she had noticed her. I could see that she had and that she disliked the old lady due to the lady’s appearance. As we approached the lady pushing the shopping cart, my friend directed me away from the old lady and the cart. I began to observe other passers-by. They were also trying to avoid her. Suddenly I heard a loud sound behind me. I quickly turned around to see what it was. I found the lady’s cart had been knocked over by something on the ground. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Things in the shopping cart like the soap all dropped on the ground. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then we quickly walked towards the lady. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
