It took a long time. But now, we can send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news every day by watching TV or reading newspapers. Newspapers have been important since the 18th century. But how do editors decide which stories to print? Why do they choose some stories but not others? There are three main reasons. Firstly, it is important to report news stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. However, newspapers give more details about the same story. This is why people still read them. Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. They like to read about danger or “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely. Instead, they print stories about accidents. Thirdly, people care about where the news happens. Many people are interested in foreign countries, but they prefer to read stories about their own country. So, the stories on the front page of Chinese newspapers are usually different from those in American newspapers. 24. Compared with TV, newspapers can ________. A. report news much faster. B. give more details about the story. C. show moving pictures. D. make people feel bored. 25. How many reasons for choosing news are mentioned in the text? A. Two. B. Three. C. Five. D. Six. 26. Which story will likely be printed in a newspaper? A. You play football after school. B. Your teacher has a cold. C. A tiger runs out of the zoo. D. A bike is lost. 27. According to the last paragraph, people prefer news about ________. A. foreign countries. B. their own country. C. safe plane landings. D. everyday life. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了如今新闻传播十分快捷，报纸依旧发挥着重要作用。编辑选登新闻主要有三个标准：内容详实、新奇特殊，且优先选取贴合本国读者的新闻内容。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. However, newspapers give more details about the same story. This is why people still read them.( 电视台能够比报纸更快地报道新闻。然而，报纸对同一事件会提供更多的细节。这就是为什么人们仍然阅读它们的原因。)”可知，与电视相比，报纸能够提供关于新闻故事的更多细节。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Why do they choose some stories but not others? There are three main reasons.( 他们为什么选择某些新闻而舍弃其他新闻呢？主要有三个原因。)”可知，文中提到了选择新闻的三个原因。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. They like to read about danger or “bad” news.( 其次，一则新闻故事必须有趣且不同寻常。人们不想读关于日常生活的故事。他们喜欢读关于危险或“坏”消息的故事。)”可推知，一只老虎从动物园里跑了出来这则新闻可能会被刊登在报纸上。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Many people are interested in foreign countries, but they prefer to read stories about their own country.( 许多人对国外感兴趣，但他们更愿意阅读关于自己国家的故事。)”可知，根据最后一段内容，人们更倾向于读本国的新闻。 C When it comes to having a healthy body, seeing may be believing. Experiments suggest that people who are shown pictures of their clogged arteries (动脉阻塞) may be more likely to stay healthy than people who do not. Researchers studied just over 3,500 people. These people were between 40 and 60 years of age. Each person had at least one risk for heart disease, but no signs of the disorder. The researchers divided these subjects into two groups. The first group received what was called usual care — like taking medicine or talking with health care workers about heart disease. However, the members of the other group were shown pictures of their arteries. Researchers also gave them special guidance on why those pictures might be a sign of future health problems. One year later, the people who watched the images of their own arteries had less risk for heart disease than those who weren’t shown the pictures. That is where the “pictures” part may help. Doctors warn that many people think they have healthy hearts but, actually, they do not. Clogged arteries can be a silent killer. It takes many years to develop and patients may show no signs until the condition is serious and difficult to treat. Because it is a silent killer, experts say patients only remember a small part of what their doctor tells them to do. Seeing a picture is much more effective. To use a popular English expression, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Smoking, an unhealthy habit, and being short of exercise increase the risk of heart attacks. Exercising for at least 30 minutes every day of the week will help to prevent heart disease. Eating at least five servings of fruit and vegetables a day, and limiting (限制) your salt intake to less than one spoon a day, also helps to prevent heart attacks. 28. What can we learn from the second paragraph? A. Both of the two groups received so-called usual care. B. More than 3,500 people of all ages took part in the study. C. Seeing pictures of possible illness helps people to keep healthy. D. Heart disease is more difficult to treat without medicine. 29. What does the underlined word “effective” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A. Interesting. B. Dangerous. C. Common. D. Helpful. 30. What should we do to prevent heart attacks according to the text? A. Stop or avoid smoking. B. Take as much sugar as salt. C. Exercise once a week. D. Eat as many nuts as possible. 31. Where may the text be taken from? A. A travel guide. B. A novel. C. A science website. D. A personal diary. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。实验表明，那些看到动脉阻塞图片的人可能比那些没有看到的人更有可能保持健康。文章介绍了这一研究开展的过程以及看到可能生病的图片有助于人们保持健康的研究发现。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“One year later, the people who watched the images of their own arteries had less risk for heart disease than those who weren’t shown the pictures. That is where the “pictures” part may help.

The AI in stories like this is known as an AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). A true AGI would be intelligent in many different areas and would be able to learn on its own. Currently, there are no AGIs. Most experts believe it will be many years before an AGI could possibly be created. Most current AI tools are good at just one task. But scientists have been working to improve AI models. The Al tool that’s gotten the most attention recently is ChatGPT, which allows users to “chat” with a powerful Large Language Model (LLM). When asked a question, ChatGPT answers quickly in perfect sentences. It makes up stories and games, writes essays, and much more. ChatGPT appears to be extremely intelligent. But really, ChatGPT is simply guessing—based on its training information—which word is most likely to come next, over and over again. Last month, OpenAI announced a more powerful model—GPT-4. GPT-4 can create and explain jokes, and pass tests difficult for humans. GPT-4 has also been trained on pictures, and can be used in powerful ways. For example, it can create a working website from a description and a rough drawing of the site. The rapid progress and more general skills of recent AI models worry some people. Last week, many computer experts published a letter calling for a six-month pause for any work on AI tools stronger than GPT-4 to make sure AI tools are safe. However, some AI experts say the letter makes today’s AI tools sound more intelligent than they really are. Others say it’s more important to worry about real problems in current AI tools rather than imaginary ones in the future. Anyway, the letter has sent a strong warning that many people, including leaders, will be thinking about carefully. 32. What’s most experts’ opinion on an AGI? A. It is relatively easy to access. B. It lacks the ability to teach itself. C. It takes time to turn it into reality. D. It is certain to take over the world. 33. Strictly speaking, what ChatGPT does is ________. A. full of creativity B. pure guesswork C. well worth promoting D. a reflection of high intelligence 34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Not all AI experts agree with the letter. B. The intelligence of today’s AI tools is understated. C. Potential problems of future AI tools need attention. D. The letter appeals for focus on real problems in current AI tools. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. Problems Resulting from AI Tools B. The Fast Development of AI Tools C. Are AI Tools the Trend of the Future? D. Are AI Tools Becoming Too Powerful? 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能工具的强大，以及专家对此表示的担忧。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Most experts believe it will be many years before an AGI could possibly be created.(大多数专家认为，人工智能可能还需要很多年才能被创造出来。)”可知，大多数专家认为还需要很多年才能创造出AGI。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But really, ChatGPT is simply guessing—based on its training information—which word is most likely to come next, over and over again.(但实际上，ChatGPT只是根据它的训练信息来猜测，哪个词最有可能是下一个，反复出现。)”可知，从严格意义上说，ChatGPT只是根据它的训练信息进行猜测。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, some AI experts say the letter makes today’s AI tools sound more intelligent than they really are. Others say it’s more important to worry about real problems in current AI tools rather than imaginary ones in the future. Anyway, the letter has sent a strong warning that many people, including leaders, will be thinking about carefully.(然而，一些人工智能专家表示，这封信让今天的人工智能工具听起来比实际情况更智能。另一些人则表示，更重要的是担心当前人工智能工具的实际问题，而不是未来想象出来的问题。无论如何，这封信发出了一个强烈的警告，包括领导人在内的许多人都将仔细考虑。)”可判断，不是所有的人工智能专家都认同这封信的内容。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Most people have probably read a book or seen a movie or show about an AI (Artificial Intelligence) or robot that has become so smart that it can take over the world. The AI in stories like this is known as an AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). A true AGI would be intelligent in many different areas and would be able to learn on its own. (大多数人可能读过或看过关于人工智能或机器人变得如此聪明以至于可以接管世界的书籍或电影或节目。像这样的故事中的人工智能被称为AGI(人工通用智能)。一个真正的AGI在许多不同的领域都是智能的，并且能够自主学习。)”，以及最后一段“However, some AI experts say the letter makes today’s AI tools sound more intelligent than they really are. Others say it’s more important to worry about real problems in current AI tools rather than imaginary ones in the future. Anyway, the letter has sent a strong warning that many people, including leaders, will be thinking about carefully. (然而，一些人工智能专家表示，这封信让今天的人工智能工具听起来比实际情况更智能。另一些人则表示，更重要的是担心当前人工智能工具的实际问题，而不是未来想象出来的问题。无论如何，这封信发出了一个强烈的警告，包括领导人在内的许多人都将仔细考虑。)”可知，文章主要讨论了人工智能工具是否变得过于强大。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下列短文，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。 It takes time to really get to know someone, but first impressions often determine whether someone is willing to spend more time learning about you.

When it came to choosing the right students to take part in such competitions, I was always the first choice. Naturally, I was once again chosen to represent my school in the coming contest this year. Upon hearing that I was chosen again, my classmates and friends believed that I would surely become the champion again. So I became too proud. I was so proud that I forgot the importance of practicing for the contest. A week before the contest, my teacher Ms. Sara asked, “Selena, would you like to stand in front of the class to practice for the contest?” She had taught me in the past two competitions and knew how important practice was. “Just imagine you are on the stage in front of the audience,” she added. “I’m sorry, Ms. Sara,” I replied. “I have a sore throat.” I always found some excuses to avoid practicing. The contest was held in the local community hall. On the day of the contest, the hall was full of people. My school teachers and principal were there. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150词左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Soon, it was my turn to talk. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally, the results came out after the contest. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Paragraph 1: Soon, it was my turn to talk. I walked onto the stage confidently, ready to show off my talent. However, as I opened my mouth, a terrible thing happened — my voice cracked. My throat was so dry and painful that I could barely make a sound. Panic seized me. I tried to clear my throat and start again, but my mind went blank. The audience began to whisper, and I could feel my face burning with embarrassment. I stumbled through the rest of the story, skipping details and losing all the emotion I should have expressed. It was a disaster. Paragraph 2: Finally, the results came out after the contest. As expected, I didn’t win the championship, nor did I get any prize. Seeing my disappointment, Ms. Sara came up to me and patted my shoulder gently. She didn’t blame me but said, “Talent is a gift, but hard work is what makes it shine. Humility takes you further.” Her words struck me deeply. I realized that my pride had cost me the success. From then on, I never skipped a single practice and learned to stay humble, no matter how many times I had won before. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Selena参加校际讲故事比赛的经历为线索展开，讲述了Selena因骄傲自满而疏于练习，最终在比赛现场表现失常、错失冠军，并在老师Ms. Sara的点拨下认识到勤奋与谦逊重要性的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写Selena自信上台，却因嗓子干涩导致声音破裂、大脑空白，在观众窃窃私语中狼狈讲完故事的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写Selena未能获奖，老师Ms. Sara安慰并告诫她“天赋是礼物，但勤奋才能让它发光”，Selena深受触动、决心改过自新。 2.续写线索：被选中参赛——骄傲自满拒绝练习——比赛当天自信上台——现场发挥失常——比赛结果公布——老师点拨醒悟——决心勤奋谦逊 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走上（舞台）：walk onto/step onto/mount ②走近：come up to/approach/draw near 情绪类 ①恐慌：panic/terror/fright ②尴尬：embarrassment/shame/humiliation 【点睛】【高分句型1】My throat was so dry and painful that I could barely make a sound.

It took a long time. But now, we can send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news every day by watching TV or reading newspapers. Newspapers have been important since the 18th century. But how do editors decide which stories to print? Why do they choose some stories but not others? There are three main reasons. Firstly, it is important to report news stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. However, newspapers give more details about the same story. This is why people still read them. Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. They like to read about danger or “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely. Instead, they print stories about accidents. Thirdly, people care about where the news happens. Many people are interested in foreign countries, but they prefer to read stories about their own country. So, the stories on the front page of Chinese newspapers are usually different from those in American newspapers. 24. Compared with TV, newspapers can ________. A. report news much faster. B. give more details about the story. C. show moving pictures. D. make people feel bored. 25. How many reasons for choosing news are mentioned in the text? A. Two. B. Three. C. Five. D. Six. 26. Which story will likely be printed in a newspaper? A. You play football after school. B. Your teacher has a cold. C. A tiger runs out of the zoo. D. A bike is lost. 27. According to the last paragraph, people prefer news about ________. A. foreign countries. B. their own country. C. safe plane landings. D. everyday life. C When it comes to having a healthy body, seeing may be believing. Experiments suggest that people who are shown pictures of their clogged arteries (动脉阻塞) may be more likely to stay healthy than people who do not. Researchers studied just over 3,500 people. These people were between 40 and 60 years of age. Each person had at least one risk for heart disease, but no signs of the disorder. The researchers divided these subjects into two groups. The first group received what was called usual care — like taking medicine or talking with health care workers about heart disease. However, the members of the other group were shown pictures of their arteries. Researchers also gave them special guidance on why those pictures might be a sign of future health problems. One year later, the people who watched the images of their own arteries had less risk for heart disease than those who weren’t shown the pictures. That is where the “pictures” part may help. Doctors warn that many people think they have healthy hearts but, actually, they do not. Clogged arteries can be a silent killer. It takes many years to develop and patients may show no signs until the condition is serious and difficult to treat. Because it is a silent killer, experts say patients only remember a small part of what their doctor tells them to do. Seeing a picture is much more effective. To use a popular English expression, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Smoking, an unhealthy habit, and being short of exercise increase the risk of heart attacks. Exercising for at least 30 minutes every day of the week will help to prevent heart disease. Eating at least five servings of fruit and vegetables a day, and limiting (限制) your salt intake to less than one spoon a day, also helps to prevent heart attacks. 28. What can we learn from the second paragraph? A. Both of the two groups received so-called usual care. B. More than 3,500 people of all ages took part in the study. C. Seeing pictures of possible illness helps people to keep healthy. D. Heart disease is more difficult to treat without medicine. 29. What does the underlined word “effective” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A. Interesting. B. Dangerous. C. Common. D. Helpful. 30. What should we do to prevent heart attacks according to the text? A. Stop or avoid smoking. B. Take as much sugar as salt. C. Exercise once a week. D. Eat as many nuts as possible. 31. Where may the text be taken from? A. A travel guide. B. A novel. C. A science website. D. A personal diary. D Most people have probably read a book or seen a movie or show about an AI (Artificial Intelligence) or robot that has become so smart that it can take over the world. The AI in stories like this is known as an AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). A true AGI would be intelligent in many different areas and would be able to learn on its own. Currently, there are no AGIs. Most experts believe it will be many years before an AGI could possibly be created. Most current AI tools are good at just one task. But scientists have been working to improve AI models. The Al tool that’s gotten the most attention recently is ChatGPT, which allows users to “chat” with a powerful Large Language Model (LLM). When asked a question, ChatGPT answers quickly in perfect sentences. It makes up stories and games, writes essays, and much more. ChatGPT appears to be extremely intelligent. But really, ChatGPT is simply guessing—based on its training information—which word is most likely to come next, over and over again. Last month, OpenAI announced a more powerful model—GPT-4. GPT-4 can create and explain jokes, and pass tests difficult for humans. GPT-4 has also been trained on pictures, and can be used in powerful ways. For example, it can create a working website from a description and a rough drawing of the site. The rapid progress and more general skills of recent AI models worry some people. Last week, many computer experts published a letter calling for a six-month pause for any work on AI tools stronger than GPT-4 to make sure AI tools are safe. However, some AI experts say the letter makes today’s AI tools sound more intelligent than they really are. Others say it’s more important to worry about real problems in current AI tools rather than imaginary ones in the future. Anyway, the letter has sent a strong warning that many people, including leaders, will be thinking about carefully. 32. What’s most experts’ opinion on an AGI? A. It is relatively easy to access. B. It lacks the ability to teach itself. C. It takes time to turn it into reality. D. It is certain to take over the world. 33. Strictly speaking, what ChatGPT does is ________. A. full of creativity B. pure guesswork C. well worth promoting D. a reflection of high intelligence 34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Not all AI experts agree with the letter. B. The intelligence of today’s AI tools is understated. C. Potential problems of future AI tools need attention. D. The letter appeals for focus on real problems in current AI tools. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. Problems Resulting from AI Tools B. The Fast Development of AI Tools C. Are AI Tools the Trend of the Future? D. Are AI Tools Becoming Too Powerful? 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下列短文，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。 It takes time to really get to know someone, but first impressions often determine whether someone is willing to spend more time learning about you.

When it came to choosing the right students to take part in such competitions, I was always the first choice. Naturally, I was once again chosen to represent my school in the coming contest this year. Upon hearing that I was chosen again, my classmates and friends believed that I would surely become the champion again. So I became too proud. I was so proud that I forgot the importance of practicing for the contest. A week before the contest, my teacher Ms. Sara asked, “Selena, would you like to stand in front of the class to practice for the contest?” She had taught me in the past two competitions and knew how important practice was. “Just imagine you are on the stage in front of the audience,” she added. “I’m sorry, Ms. Sara,” I replied. “I have a sore throat.” I always found some excuses to avoid practicing. The contest was held in the local community hall. On the day of the contest, the hall was full of people. My school teachers and principal were there. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150词左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Soon, it was my turn to talk. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally, the results came out after the contest. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
