Teenagers who travel around the world alone have been making headlines(头条新闻) quite often. A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention and sponsors. Young sailors also attract various views. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to cancel her voyage, but the Prime Minister called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned. It seemed there is confusion about the competence and independence of young people.
The popular psychologists tell us that teenage brains are likely to make wrong judgments. But such ideas often do not apply to specific individuals. Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers vary greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by discussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and capable of childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys usually do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and well-qualified adult supporters.
But it’s also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can desire to get achievements as unusual as Jessica Watson’s. Watson calls herself “an ordinary girl who had a dream”. Her purpose is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all teens have such dreams? Actually, individuals face varying circumstances that restrict their dreams.
Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by preconceived (事先形成的) views about young people. Nor should young “ordinary” teenagers feel pressure to long for extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses individualism. The teenage years are when most of us “ordinary” people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others.
24. What can we learn about Jessica Watson?
A. She was criticized by the government.
B. She made a successful voyage.
C. She failed to finish her voyage and gave up halfway.
D. She finally canceled her voyage.
25. What can be inferred about teenagers from the text?
A. They have similar abilities.
B. They make decisions on their own.
C. They always make wrong judgments.
D. They need supports of responsible adults.
26. Who does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Parents. B. Teenagers. C. Psychologists. D. Adults.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Divided Opinions on Young Adventurers
B. Problems Faced by Adventurous Teens
C. Various Ways to Become Independent
D. Pressure to Achieve Personal Goals
C
Do you think artificial intelligence (AI) should be banned in schools? To improve the new development of education, experts and officials believe that generative AI tools should be safely and appropriately used in schools rather than being banned.
Zheng Qinghua, president of Tongji University, emphasized the importance of taking the opportunities and meeting challenges presented by AI-empowered education. He suggested that young people should be guided to improve their understanding of the knowledge created by technology. Meanwhile, their motivation for learning should also be encouraged.
AI technology has become increasingly important for getting and spreading knowledge, impacting teaching, learning, and school management. Zheng emphasized the widespread use of various models such as Emie Bot, an AI chatbot product developed by Baidu, among college students in China. The tool can write essays, solve science problems, and help students with homework and tests.
Furthermore, a survey conducted by the online learning platform Study showed that 89 percent of students had used ChatGPT for homework assistance, raising concerns about academic honesty. Instead of merely relying on AI to provide answers or complete homework and tests, people should focus on using AI to develop students’ innovation and integrate professional skills, enabling them to solve real-world problems, said Zheng.
According to Colin Bailey, president of Queen Mary University of London, as ChatGPT grows rapidly, the focus should not be on whether to use AI in education, but on how to use it safely, effectively, and appropriately. Banning AI in schools is not the solution, Bailey concluded. Bailey also warned about the potential harm caused by poorly designed AI.
Efforts to regulate (监管) AI have come out around the world, such as the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights in the US and a pro-innovation approach to AI regulation in the UK. In China, measures for managing generative AI services have been carried out. Chen Jie, vice-minister of education, emphasized the need for cooperation among education and research institutions to deal with AI-related issues like privacy leaks and bias.
28. What is Zheng Qinghua’s attitude towards using AI in education?
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Negative. D. Unclear.
29. What is the concern raised by the survey conducted by Study?
A. The privacy leaks of using AI tools.
B. The high cost of AI tools for schools.
C. The students’ academic honesty in homework.
D. The students’ preference for AI chatbots to human teachers.
30. What is Colin Bailey’s suggestion on AI tools in schools?
A. Using them in a proper and efficient way.
B. Stopping the use of AI tools in schools.
C. Replacing teachers with AI tools in the classroom.
D. Using them without control.
31. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The only way of China in regulating AI.
B. The global agreement on the ban of AI in education.
C. The international cooperation in preventing the use of AI.
D. The worldwide efforts to establish regulations on AI services.
D
It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related? ”
The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context.
Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context(语境)in which they are spoken.
Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency.
Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning.
32. What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?
A. The importance of remembering important moments.
B. The inconsistence between words and meaning.
C. The necessity of indirect communication.
D. The possibility of argument in a couple's life.
33. What may make human language different from true codes?
A. The context included in understanding meanings.
B. The definitions made by words in communication.
C. The coded communication between emitter and receiver.
D. The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning.
34. How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” show about irony?
A. It uses fewer words to save time.
B. It uses a long sentence to show simple feelings.
C. It needs detailed explanations to make sense.
D. It uses fewer words for complex meanings.
35. What does the author suggest in communication?
A. Focusing on the opposite. B. Taking language literally.
C. Reading beyond the words. D. Avoiding using ironic tones.

A Piggyback Ride from a Stranger
Once a year, Bannister climbs to High Rock Lookout where she scattered(撒)her mother’s ashes(骨灰)23 years ago. 36 Last August, Bannister, then 79, went on her own, figuring she’d be fine because she’s an experienced hiker.
She arrived at the trail early and made her way to the lookout. As she headed back down, her foot got caught in a hole in the ground. 37 When sitting up, she knew immediately she had broken her leg. She cried out for help, and before long, a stranger approached and called 911. They were told a search and rescue team would arrive in five hours.
“It wasn’t very encouraging,” Bannister says. “I asked if anyone had painkillers(止痛药),because the pain was pretty substantial then.” 38 But two young men, Troy May, an Air Force airman and his friend Layton Allen, came over to see what was going on. When seeing Bannister in extreme pain, they offered to carry her to the bottom of the trail.
May eased Bannister onto his back and started hiking downward. He carried her for most of the nearly three-hour journey, and Allen carried her for the rest. “That was just one kindness,” says Bannister. 39 One, a physical therapist, bandaged Bannister’s foot and built a makeshift splint (夹板) for her leg. The other did breathing exercises with her to help calm her. During the long hike down, her rescuers shared stories to distract her from the mounting pain. Once reaching the parking lot, they rushed Bannister to the nearest hospital.
40 “I think we’ll be lifelong friends,” Bannister says.
A. The local rescue team sent her to the hospital.
B. No one in the surrounding area had.
C. She fell forward against all expectations.
D. A couple hiking that day also lent a hand.
E. They have visited her several times afterwards.
F. She immediately called her family and waited for them to pick her up.
G. She usually hikes with someone along the 3.2-mile trail.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了在埃菲尔铁塔的一楼人们可以体验的一种独特的虚拟现实体验活动。
21.细节理解题。根据第一段中“This adventure, brought to you by the Eiffel Tower and designed by start-up Mira, presents new opportunities and invites visitors to take part in a virtual reality adventure charged with emotions, suspense and excitement!(本次冒险由埃菲尔铁塔为您带来,由初创公司Mira设计,提供新的机会,邀请游客参与一场充满情感、悬念和刺激的虚拟现实冒险!)”可知,这是虚拟现实的冒险体验,故选A项。
22.细节理解题。根据Who can play?部分的“Please note: Because of the technology involved, virtual reality experiences are not recommended for pregnant women, people with heart problems, or people with balance or vision problems.(请注意:由于所涉及的技术,不建议孕妇、心脏病患者或有平衡或视力问题的人进行虚拟现实体验)”可知,有心脏病的人不适合进行这项冒险,故选D项。
23.细节理解题。根据Prices for the experience部分的“Standard price(over age 12): €15(12岁以上标准价:15欧元)”和“Discount rate for children(aged 8—11)and people with disabilities: €12(8至11岁儿童和残疾人优惠价:12欧元)”可知,这名母亲的票价是15欧元,9岁儿子的票价是12欧元,因此一共需支付27(=15+12)欧元,故选C项。

【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了独自一人环游世界的青少年经常成为头条新闻,一个年轻人Jessica Watson成为了澳大利亚年轻人的英雄,为此各方有着不同的看法。
24. 细节理解题。根据第一段的“For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to cancel her voyage, yet the Prime Minister called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned.”可知,政府要求Jessica Watson取消航行,但在她返回时总理称她为澳大利亚年轻人的英雄。由此可知,Jessica Watson进行了一次成功的航行。故选B。
25. 推理判断题。根据第二段的“ The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by discussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and capable of childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys normally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and well-qualified adult supporters.”可知,允许每个人独立的程度不仅应由他们的年龄决定,还需要与相关的负责任的成年人讨论。有些青少年肯定是没有经验的,并且容易犯幼稚的错误,但是那些尝试危险旅行的青少年那样做通常是得到了精明冷静的和有学识的成人支持者的信任。由此可知,青少年需要负责任的成年人的支持。故选D。
26. 指代猜测题。根据第三段的“But it’s also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can desire to get achievements as unusual as Jessica Watson’s. Watson calls herself “an ordinary girl who had a dream”. Her intention is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all teens have such dreams? Actually, individuals face varying circumstances that restrict their dreams.”可知,认为任何16岁的年轻人都渴望获得Jessica Watson一样出色的成就也是错误的。Watson称自己为一个有梦想的普通女孩。她这样做的目的是为了鼓励青少年,但是这个想法可能产生相反的效果,使他们感到自己不够好,因为在他们看来伟大的成就是他们不可触及的。所有的青少年都应该有这样的梦想吗?实际上,每个人面临着各种不同的情况,这限制了他们的梦想。由此可知,划线词they指代的是前文提到的青少年。故选B。
27. 标题判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了独自一人环游世界的青少年经常成为头条新闻,一个处境危险的年轻人Jessica Watson成为了澳大利亚年轻人的英雄,为此各方有着不同的看法。下文具体地分析了人们的不同看法。根据第二题的分析可知,第二段提到“青少年需要负责任的成年人的支持”。第三段提到“认为任何16岁的年轻人都渴望获得Jessica Watson一样出色的成就也是错误的”。最后一段中提到作者的看法“不应仅凭对年轻人的先入为主的看法来判断在世界各地旅行的青少年。青少年也不应感到压力去渴望达到非凡的个人目标。实际上,我相信单人航行的例子过分强调个人主义。十几岁的时候,我们大多数普通人都知道我们可以与他人合作来成就伟大的事情”。因此A项(对年轻冒险者的不同看法。)可以作为文章的标题。故选A。
C

28.推理判断题。根据第二段“Zheng Qinghua, president of Tongji University, emphasized the importance of taking the opportunities and meeting challenges presented by AI-empowered education.(同济大学校长Zheng Qinghua强调,要抓住机遇,迎接人工智能教育带来的挑战)”以及第三段“ Zheng emphasized the widespread use of various models such as Emie Bot, an AI chatbot product developed by Baidu, among college students in China.(郑强调了各种模型在中国大学生中的广泛使用,例如百度开发的人工智能聊天机器人产品Emie Bot)”可推知, Zheng Qinghua强调了AI在教育中的重要性,以及对于在教育中使用人工智能持支持态度,故选B。
29.细节理解题。根据第四段“Furthermore, a survey conducted by the online learning platform Study showed that 89 percent of students had used ChatGPT for homework assistance, raising concerns about academic honesty.( 此外,在线学习平台Study进行的一项调查显示,89%的学生曾使用聊天答疑工具帮助完成作业,这引发了人们对学术诚信的担忧)” ,故选 C。
30.细节理解题。根据第五段中“the focus should not be on whether to use AI in education, but on how to use it safely, effectively, and appropriately.(重点不应该是是否在教育中使用人工智能,而应该是如何安全、有效和适当地使用它)”可知,Colin Bailey认为重点不应放在是否在教育中使用人工智能,而应放在如何安全、有效和适当地使用它,故选 A。
31.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Efforts to regulate(监管)AI have come out around the world, such as the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights in the US and a pro-innovation approach to AI regulation in the UK.( 世界各地都在努力监管人工智能,比如美国的《人工智能权利法案蓝图》(Blueprint for AI Bill of Rights),英国的人工智能监管支持创新)”可推知, 本段主要介绍了全球在建立人工智能服务监管规定方面做出的努力。D选项“The worldwide efforts to establish regulations on AI services.(世界范围内建立人工智能服务法规的努力)”概括文章主要内容,符合段旨,故选D。

【知识点】语言与文化 、说明文
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍人类语言交流特点及反语在交流中的作用。
32. 推理判断题。根据第一段“She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related?(她说她不介意我忘记她的生日!那她为什么在厨房里摔盘子呢?这两件事有关系吗?)”以及第二段“Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word.(交流不仅仅是言语。还包括这些话是怎么说的,语气,顺序,甚至是某个特定单词的选择)”可推知,第一段的抱怨主要表明了言语和意思之间的不一致。故选B。
33. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken.(人类语言不是一种编码。真正的编码与意义有着一一对应的关系。一种声音,一种定义。这就是我们在动物身上看到的情况。威尔逊和斯珀伯解释说:“当发出者和接收者拥有完全相同的编码时,编码交流效果最佳。”人类则不是这样。我们交流的内容比我们所说的单词的定义要多。这是一种推理交流,这意味着我们不仅理解所说的单词,而且理解它们所使用的语境)”可知,理解意义时所包含的语境使人类语言不同于真正的编码。故选A。
34. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency.(反语是一个很好的例子,说明我们如何用几个简单的词来有力地传达语境。它不仅仅是陈述相反的意思。例如,当玛丽在一个无聊的聚会后说“那很有趣”时,她既不是说聚会真的很有趣,也不是“讽刺地”说聚会很无聊。相反,她在表达一种情感。三个字代替了段落,展示了语言的效率)”可知,玛丽的陈述“那很有趣”用更少的词表达了复杂的意思,从而说明了反语的特点。故选 D。
35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning.(威尔逊和斯珀伯得出结论,人类语言之所以发展并变得如此强大,是因为人类有两种独特的能力:语言能力和试图解读他人心理状态的能力。我们为听到的单词寻找语境。我们应该非常善于吸收这种语境来推断意义)” 可推知,作者认为在交流中应该理解话语背后的意思,也就是不仅仅局限于字面意思。故选C。

M: Oil-paper umbrellas in China are still popular nowadays. Beijing boasts a variety of shops selling uniquely crafted umbrellas. In the historic Dashilanr business street area, Chang Tao’s Qinfenghanyue Craft Shop is one of the many places where this craft is still a lifestyle. Chang is a master of this art. Chang—painter, poet and umbrella maker—was born in 1978 in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. He established a small studio in Guangxi, combining modern techniques with a love for the art of umbrella making. Artists in Guangxi and Beijing now work under his guidance, following his 86 steps to make a single umbrella. A process sometimes takes 20 days, Chinese legend has it that, during the Spring and Autumn Period, the wife of the famous carpenter Lu Ban made the first umbrella to protect him from the elements while he worked. Umbrellas are also used in some traditional Chinese wedding ceremonies. A red umbrella in a wedding is a symbol of protection against the obstacles that the new couple will face. In China, the umbrella was initially used during important ceremonies as a symbol of elegance, admiration and power.
