According to China’s Ministry of Education, any foreign students to be enrolled in Chinese university should at least hold a HSK Level 4 certificate. Learners who want to apply for the Confucius Institute Scholarships should take the score reports of both HSK and HSKK. All test takers taking HSK abroad are eligible (合格) to apply for the Chinese Test Summer Camp to experience Chinese culture and learn Chinese in a short period in China. HSK and HSKK scores are valid for a long time. As a proof of the Chinese language ability of foreign students entering Chinese colleges and universities, the scores are valid for two years (counting from the day of the test). HSK TEST Test levels include HSK (Level 1), HSK (Level 2), HSK (Level 3), HSK (Level 4). HSK (Level 5) and HSK (Level 6). Exam Object: HSK (Level 4) is mainly for candidates who have learned Chinese for four semesters (two academic years) with a schedule of 2-4 class hours per week and mastered 1, 200 commonly used words. HSKK TEST HSKK Test is designed to test the ability to express oneself orally in Chinese and includes the HSKK (Elementary), HSKK (Intermediate) and HSKK (Advanced). Exam Object: HSKK (Intermediate) is mainly for candidates who have leaned Chinese for one to two academic years at a schedule of 2-3 class hours per week and master about 900 of the most commonly used words. 1. What is required for a foreigner to get into a Chinese college? A. To pass Level 4 of HSK. B. To score above average in HSKK. C. To speak Chinese as their mother tongue. D. To take part in Chinese Test Summer Camp. 2. How many levels does HSKK Test include? A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6. 3. Where can we most probably see this article? A. In Chinese art galleries. B. On inter-city subways. C. In elementary schoolbooks. D. On overseas study websites. B “It was written in some sense,” that National Geographic Explorer Cynthia Chiang would end up in observational cosmology — the study of the origin and development of the universe using specialized detectors and telescopes. “I’m not going to lie, my father was a physicist. My mother was an astronomer. But no kid wants to be like their parents,” she jokes, semi-seriously. Chiang always enjoyed building things. It wasn’t unusual for her to disassemble her father’s research equipment and put them back together like a child engineer. She thanks, in part, her short attention span for her evolving curiosity: “I am always looking for something.” For the last few years, Chiang has been looking for signs of the universe’s early existence — the birth of the first stars more than 13 billion years ago — and she’s building her own equipment to do it. As a professor of physics at McGill University, she focuses on peering beyond the universe as it is known today, into its distant past, using novel radio technology. Initially, Chiang planned to do her PhD in particle (粒子的) physics but switched direction after a visit to a lab at the California Institute of Technology. “It was complete chaos. There are specialized equipment and tools everywhere. I didn’t know about observational cosmology at the time but thought ‘Whatever this is, I want to do that.’” “This was also a leap of faith because I really couldn’t continue the work I was doing before,” Chiang recalls. “I had never done radio before but I thought, ‘Let me give this a try and see how it goes.’” 4. What is the intention of Cynthia Chiang’s joke? A. To illustrate her pursuit. B. To prove her innocence. C. To show her parents’ achievements. D. To reflect her attitude to her parents. 5. Why did Cynthia Chiang decide to pursue observational cosmology? A. She was inspired by a lab. B. She wanted to pursue her PhD. C. She wanted to build radio telescopes. D. She had a lifelong interest in astronomy. 6. Which words can be used to describe Cynthia Chiang? A. Sensible and reliable B. Hardworking and considerate. C. Adventurous and determined. D. Knowledgeable and talented. 7. What is the best title of this passage? A. The Influence of Family on Career Choices B. Overcoming Challenges in Scientific Research C. The Evolution of a Scientist’s Interests D. Innovations in Radio Technology C In all the time I’ve spent in China, I’ve had my share of emotional crises. I can’t remember which one it was in particular, but I do remember how my adopted “aunt” Li once took care of me, tucking (塞被角) me up in an armchair in her Chengdu apartment, bringing me a cup of green tea, peeling and cutting fruit for me, chatting about unrelated matters as she prepared one of her wonderful Sichuanese suppers. Like many Chinese people, particularly those of the older generation, she didn’t show her love for me by hugging or requesting emotional outpourings, but through food and over-concern. It took me a while to become used to this way of expressing affection. At first I found it brusque and bossy: “Have some porridge! Drink some soup! Put on some more clothes!” But over time I came to understand what it meant. I can always tell, now, when someone Chinese is becoming fond of me because they start to become over-worried about my physical needs, urging me to eat or drink, to wrap up warm, to rest. When serious-faced chef barks at me to have some more baozi for breakfast or Li presses me to have another mouthful of her red-braised pork, I know they are offering me the edible equivalent of a hug. Food in China can mean many things. It is also art and craft and magic. It is the slices of fish that fall like snow from the knife of the chef, the slivers of meat that dance in the shimmering heat of the wok (炒菜锅), the grains of millet or rice that swell in the steamer. It is the employment of armies of microorganisms in the clay vat of jiang (酱菜缸) or the wine jar, the creating of a hundred flavors in a tiny kitchen, the transformation of natural raw materials into numerous forms. It is finding ways to generate delight in everything from a duck’s tongue to the peel of an orange. It is one of the supreme expressions of human wit and creativity. Above all, it is what connects us and makes us human. 8. Why does the writer mention her mental distress at the beginning? A. To compare the difference in two cultures. B. To introduce how Chinese express their love. C. To highlight how fragile the writer used to be. D. To remind readers of the writer’s homesickness. 9. Which of following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “brusque”? A. Abrupt and simple. B. Impolite and bitter. C. Brave and direct. D. Demanding and abusive. 10. How does the writer develop paragraph 3 to further explain her idea? A. By making comparison. B. By offering more examples. C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By classifying cooking methods. 11. What message does the author intend to convey through the text? A. Every region has its own specialty. B. Food is culture, and culture is food. C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. D. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. D Big Tech companies are “training” generative AI (生成式人工智能) models by stealing music, books, photographs, paintings and videos off the Internet using copyright “fair use” as an excuse. Last month, Getty Images took legal action against Stability AI — the maker of the popular image generator Stable Diffusion — for not only using 2 million of Getty’s photos, but also for changing or removing copyright management information from the images. It seems clearly unlawful, but that doesn’t mean the courts will agree. Big Tech has successfully skated through legal matters for years, waving the banner (旗帜) of “permissionless innovation”. Only the biggest of Big Tech players will dominate generative AI, because it requires massive amounts of computing power. But copyright appears to be anything but a top priority for Google and Microsoft. So while human creators rationally (理智地) explore and debate this issue, tech companies are using their work to train the generative machines that ultimately may make the artists irrelevant in the future. The problem goes beyond artists losing incomes. AI operates on the theory that all the possible original ideas in the universe are already contained in the data sets from the Internet. So, the intelligence of AI merely requires reorganizing this data into something that differs enough from the original work to not risk a copyright problem. Surely, the world has plenty of standardized artistic content already. What’s needed: ensuring a continuous flow of original ideas and fresh perspectives — to build a culture that goes beyond what is already found on the Internet and can be enriched by artists who might grow in ways no AI could predict. We realize that Big Tech’s involvement in AI has raised concerns that may make the endangering of artists’ rights seem pale. Yet a nation’s cultural life is not a minor matter, and preserving artists’ rights is essential to ensuring their continued contribution. Existing copyright laws should ideally prevent abuses, but this is not always the case. Another solution may be needed: new laws governing AI and safeguarding the human core of artistic creativity. 12. How do Big Techs justify their use of copyrighted material? A. By claiming “permissionless innovation”. B. By arguing AI operates on existing photos. C. By editing management information of the images. D. By avoiding legal consequences with permission. 13. What can be inferred from the passage? A. AI should be banned by law. B. Artists should adopt less rational approaches. C. AI may harm sustainable artistic ecosystem. D. The courts are to blame for the copyright theft. 14. Which statement will the author probably agree with? A. Artists will finally be replaced by AI. B. Artists’ low incomes are caused by AI. C. A nation’s cultural life will be harmed. D. Artistic creativity will be totally ruined. 15. What is the purpose of the article? A. To blame Big Techs for stealing. B. To focus on a copyright law case. C. To introduce generative AI technology. D. To call for a copyright law reform. 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。 Choosing a career path is one of the most important decisions that senior high graduates have to make. ___16___ Therefore, it is essential to consider various factors before making a final decision.
