Documentaries are built on truth,transparency and trust.If they use so-called AI-made materials but show them as“real”,it is not just a betrayal(背叛)ofthe_37_between filmmaker and audience.The results are much wider and more serious:a century of our shared history is 38 Rumors that documentary makers were using generative AI materials started39several years ago.Roadrunner,the 2021 film about Anthony Bourdain,caused a big argument when people found out that some of his voice lines were made by computer software. In2023,some documentary producers set up the Archival Producers Alliance(档案制作者联盟 )and published an open letter40to their industry for more transparency.A year later,they put out a list of good rules to follow.The main rule is openness and trust.The audience should be told when any AI tool is used-maybe to 41 a broken photo or make an audio file clearer. But one thing matters even more:These rules are about protecting history itself-about not damaging the historical record.If 42 material is used,the alliance says,the note should appear on screen while watching,not only in the ending credits.Why?Any online film can be 43cut into small clips.A single clip then becomes part of"the archive".People can find it online without the full story of the film.It is easy for viewers to think the clip is real.Believe it or not,once AI software is44 easy to get,anyone can quickly make a video of almost anything Our history is 45protection,and we all need to help solve this problem. III.Reading Comprehension (38%) Section A (15%) 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. Music is nice,people seem to say,but not important.When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance,the music arts are 46 at the bottom of the list.Too often,music is viewed as mere entertainment,but certainly not an education which should be first taken into account.This view is47.In fact,music education is beneficial and important for all students. Music tells us who we are.Because music is an expression of the beings who create it,it48 their thinking and values,as well as the social49 it came from.Rock music 50 a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song.The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical 51.Music expresses our character and values.It gives us identity as a society. Music provides a kind of feeling that cannot be52 any other way. 53 can explain how the sun rises and sets.The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same phenomenon. 期中-5 We need every possible way to discover and54 to our world for one simple but powerful reason:No one way can get it all. The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols.They are ways we human beings "talk"to each other.They are the55of civilization through which we express our fears,our curiosities,our hungers,our discoveries,our hopes.The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be56 others.When we do not give children57 to an important way of expressing themselves such as music,we58from them the meanings that music expresses. Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human.The59 do.Music is an important way we express the meaning and value of peace and love. So music education is far more 60 than people seem to realize 46.A.embarrassedly B.doubtfully C.unavoidably D.fortunately 47.A.aggressive B.shortsighted C.reasonable D.instructive 48.A.reflects B.promotes C.dominates D.changes 49.A.position B.benefit C.standard D.environment 50.A.takes in B.stands for C.makes up D.looks through 51.A.instruments B.families C.traditions D.seasons 52.A.acquired B.understood C.abandoned D.noticed 53.A.Music B.Entertainment C.Mathematics D.Science 54.A.stick B.refer C.lead D.respond 55.A.decisions B.languages C.features D.achievements 56.A.compared with B.regarded as C.shared with D.drawn from 57.A.solution B.access C.entrance D.direction 58.A.take away B.set aside C.draw up D.work out 59.A.parents B.teachers C.courses D.arts 60.A.enjoyable B.wasteful C.necessary D.negative Section B(15%) 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.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. If you have ever had a stent(支架)fitted to open a narrowed or blocked artery(动脉)，it may have been a waste of time and money.A large study has just shown that people receiving a stent are no better off than those who have had a so-called"sham"operation.In this operation,the doctor puts in a catheter but does not really place a stent. 期中-6 The scientists behind the study divided 200 patients into two groups.One group had a stent fitted. The other had a sham operation.Neither group knew which treatment they got.After six weeks,the two groups reported similar improvements in their symptoms,such as chest pain or difficulty breathing. This is not the first time medicine has been surprised by the“placebo(安慰剂)effect'”.The word "placebo"comes from Latin,meaning"I shall please".A placebo is a substance or procedure with no medical effect,but it is given to a patient like a real treatment.The patient's belief in the treatment can sometimes bring real improvements to their health In the 1950s,a US anaesthetist ()named Henry Beecher noticed many patients felt less pain after receiving an injection of salt water.Beecher recorded many cases where patients got better after taking placebos.His work made placebos widely used in clinical trials.Researchers use them for comparison to test the effects of new drugs. But the placebo effect is not limited to pills and injections.In the 1990s,a Danish researcher, Asbjorn Hrobjartsson,examined all placebo studies he could find.He found that in most cases,there was no proof that placebos produced any real effect.However,newer research suggests the placebo effect is real,though scientists still do not fully understand it. One thing is clear:the mind has a strong influence on how the body reacts to treatment.The stent study tells us that in medicine,patients'belief can matter as much as doctors'actions. 6l.What is true about the“sham”operation? A.It helps open blocked arteries. B.It costs more than a real stent operation. C.A catheter is used but no stent is placed. D.It proves that stents work well for patients. 62.How was the study conducted? A.200 patients were divided into two groups without their knowledge. B.All the patients received a real stent operation. C.The doctors told each patient which procedure he would get. D.The two groups were compared after six months. 63.What can we learn about the placebo effect? A.It only works with pills and injections. B.It was first discovered by Henry Beecher. C.Patients'belief may bring real improvements. D.It has been fully understood by scientists. 64.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Stent operations are no longer used in hospitals. B.The mind can influence how the body responds to treatment. C.Placebos are more effective than real medicine. D.Clinical trials should stop using placebos as a control B The following notice is displayed in a car park operated by Oxfordshire County Council. 期中-7 Oxfordshire County Council Car Park Charges Up to I hour ￡1.00 Up to 2 hours e1.80 Up to 3 hours 2.60 Up to 4 hours 3.30 Up to 5 hours 4.00 Up to 6 hours 4.50 Up to 10 hours 5.50 Up to 12 hours ￡6.50 Up to 16 hours 8.00 Up to 24 hours ￡10.00 Evening charge(6.30 pm-10 pm) No charge Overnight (10 pm-8 am) 2.00 Sunday No charge Bank Holiday No charge Lost tickets will be charged at the rate for the maximum stay.Pay and display machines are located at the entrance to the car park.Please note that the car park is closed between 10 pm and 8 am. 65.How much does it cost to park for up to 5 hours?

C.E10.00,the charge for the maximum stay. D.f6.50,the charge for up to 12 hours 0 A busy brain can mean a hungry body.We often seek food after focused mental activity,like preparing for an exam.Researchers think that heavy bouts()of thinking drain energy from the brain,whose capacity to store fuel is very limited. 期中-8 So the brain,sensing that it may soon require more calories to keep going,apparently stimulates bodily hunger,and even though there has been little in the way of physical movement or calorie consumption,we eat.This process may partly account for the weight gain so commonly seen in college students. Scientists at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and another institution recently experimented with exercise to courter such immoderately post--study food consumption. Gary Hunter,an exercise physiologist at U.A.B.,oversaw the study.Hunter notes that tough activity both increases the amount of blood sugar and lactate(乳酸盐)一a byproduct of intense muscle contractions )-circulating in the blood and increases blood flow to the head.Because the brain uses sugar and lactate as fuel,researchers wondered if the increased flow of fuel-rich blood during exercise could feed an exhausted brain and reduce the urge to overeat. Thirty-eight healthy college students were invited to U.A.B.'s exercise lab to report what their favorite pizza was.At a later date,the volunteers returned and spent 20 minutes dealing with selections from college and graduate-school entrance exams.Next,half the students sat quietly for 15 minutes, before being given pizza.The rest of the volunteers spent those 15 minutes doing intervals on a treadmill:two minutes of hard running followed by about one minute of walking,repeated five times. Hunter says,that should stimulate the release of sugar and lactate into the bloodstream.These students were then allowed to gorge on pizza,too.But by and large,they did not overeat.In fact,the non- exercisers,however,consumed about 100 calories more. The study has limitations,of course.We only looked at lunch,Hunter says;the researchers do not know if the runners consumed extra calories at dinner.They also cannot tell whether other types of exercise would have the same effect as running,although Hunter says they suspect that if an activity causes someone to break into a sweat,it should also increase blood sugar and lactate,feeding the brain and weakening hunger's call. 68.According to the passage, may cause many college students to overeat and gain weight. A.a lot of energy-consuming mental activities B.numerous physical movements or calorie burning C.failure to resist the temptation of delicious food D.bodily hunger caused by physical growth 69.The underlined word"counter"is closest in meaning to A.stimulate B.maximize C.balance D.prevent 70.What can be inferred from the passage? A.Running is more beneficial than walking. B.Sweating in exercise can make people hungrier. C.The amount of blood sugar and lactate can affect people's appetite. D.When the brain feels exhausted,people tend to do exercise for relaxation. 71.Which of the following statements is FALSE? A.Mental activities can make people feel hungry. 期中9 B.Physical exercise can make people refreshed and stay hungry C.Sugar and lactate can help energize and restore people's brain. D.It's uncertain what types of exercise can effectively feed the brain Section C(8%) Directions:Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need A.However,my work has its challenges. B.Then a second bit of inspiration came my way. C.Distressed as I was,I resolved to pursue my interest in research. D.Besides the spiritual reward,there are other less apparent benefits. E.So I decided to leave the academic path to find a better match. F.Here,at last,was a way to combine my interest in science with my passion for teaching. Ten years ago,after 2 years as a postdoc,I found myself wondering whether I should take a different road.Up to that point,I had followed a traditional path studying cancer genetics,but I was losing interest in the research.At the same time,federal funding had flattened,which added to my dissatisfaction.72 Then came the hard part:finding a new career that could nurture my passion for science and allow me to make an impact with my work. As I was considering my options,I drew inspiration from my first graduate school research tutor. His work reminded me that scientists could still achieve a lot outside the lab.But I still didn't know exactly what I should do.73 A colleague mentioned that a professor at a nearby 2-year college was training students to produce monoclonal(单克隆的)antibodies for campus labs..Iwas impressed that the professor carried out this ambitious project with inexperienced students.Curious to learn more,I met John and was struck by his sincerity.He valued student training more than grants, publications,and personal ambition.His passion for teaching brought back my dream of becoming a high school biology teacher. _74I got a faculty position and joined John at the same quiet junior college.Now, I effectively take on two roles:classroom instructor and research co-adviser of 15 inexperienced but eager undergraduates.Both roles give me a chance to help students transform themselves,which is enormously rewarding .75 It's discouraging when others see both my students and me as less worthy because we are not at universities.We often struggle to get access to federal funding,scientific conferences,and other key resources.My pay is below the standard at 4-year research institutions, even though my teaching workload is greater.But whenever I feel frustrated,thinking of the students I've trained cheers me up. 期中-10 Looking back at these 10 years,I realize how much this position on campus has helped me grow,both as an academic and a tutor.I'm grateful that I stepped away from the traditional carer path and found my own way to serve students and the research community. 第Ⅱ卷（共17分） I.Words and Phrases (6%) Words (0.5*6) 1.常规，正常顺序 2.描述，描绘n 3.历史上重要的 4.目的地 5.昂贵的，奢华的 6.当前，现代adv.
