Not far away,three robbers ()hiding behind a rock found the hermit running hurriedly.The chief robber stopped him and asked curiously why he was running.Breathless,the hermit replied,"I am running away from evil."The robbers,seeing nothing behind him,laughed and insisted he show them this so-called bad thing.Though he hesitated,the hermit agreed and led them to the cave. Pointing to the gold coins,he said,"There it is.The evil is before your eyes." The robbers thought the hermit was mad and laughed off his warning.Delighted by their discovery, they sent the hermit on his way.Then,they began discussing how to deal with the gold.Too weak to carry it and afraid someone else might find it,they decided one of them should go and bring food from town.The third robber volunteered,secretly planning to poison the food and take the treasure for himself. While he was away,the two remaining robbers planned to kill him upon his return and took his share of the gold.When the third robber returned with food,the others attacked and killed him. Afterward,they ate the poisoned food and died as well. The hermit's warning came true.The gold stayed hidden,shining quietly in the cave.Outside,the winds blew over the lifeless desert.The treasure was left behind,silent and untouched,as if waiting. Perhaps it was never meant to belong to anyone-only to show the cost of certain actions. 24.Why did the hermit run away from the cave? A.He thought the gold was a danger. B.He wanted to report the discovery C.He went out to ask for others'help. D.He was afraid of the three robbers. 25.What caused the three robbers'death? A.The hermit's magic warning. B.Poisonous food from town C.Fighting for the gold coins. D.Misunderstanding among them. 26.Which of the following can best describe the hermit? A.Lazy and stupid. B.Shy and energetic. C.Wise and careful. D.Brave and polite. 27.What lesson can we learn from the story? A.It's wrong to trust strangers. B.It's unfair to share wealth. C.It's wise to avoid robbers. D.It's dangerous to be selfish. c 第4页/供10页 扫描全能王创建 A new study shows that forests where aspens are the main trees face a lower risk of serious fires than those with mostly conifer()trees.It suggests that planting more suitable trees is a good way to protect local people when serious wildfires happen more often. A single aspen tree catches fire easily because its outside skin is thin.However,large groups of connected trees-forests made up of the same kind of trees with similar age and structure () are better at fighting fires than conifer forests and can work as a firebreak.Researchers think the resistance (has several explanations,including the more water in the aspens'leaves and the absence of bumable resin(树脂). Flavie Pelletier,one of the researchers,hoped to find out whether large groups of aspen trees have kept their fire-resisting ability as climate change makes fire seasons more serious.She put together new maps of most common tree types with satellite maps of wildfires.She found that aspen trees were more than twice as common at the edges (of fires as inside them,while conifers were equally present in both places.Having more aspen trees also lowered the amount that burned during a fire. "This proves that aspen has an effect on fire edge formation and can slow the fire down,"she said. A forester,Anthony Taylor,said the study does a good job of examining a fact that native people and foresters have understood."The idea that broadleaved trees burn less has been known,but knowing something through experience is different from testing it,"he said. The research supports planting aspens around at-risk communities.However,a single line of trees will not work-the stands must be 300 to 1,000 feet deep.Pelletier hopes her work will help push forestry companies to stop killing broadleaved trees."There needs to be less of a war on aspen,"she said,noting that protecting aspens could reduce the risk of losing large numbers of trees to fire. 28.What are aspen-covered forests like compared with conifer forests? A.They need more protection. B.They produce more resin C.They experience fewer big fires. D.They catch fewer plant diseases. 29.What makes large groups of aspens fire-resistant? A.Their water-rich leaves. B.Their thick outer covering. C.Their uniform（一致的)structure.. D.Their average height. 30.What did Pelletier's research find about aspens? A.They are popular with locals. B.They are equally present with conifers in forests. C.They can live well in many places D.They can slow the spread of wildfires. 31.What can be the best title for the text? A.Conifer Trees:AMajor Fire Risk B.Climate Change:A Reason for Wildfire C.Aspen Trees:A Natural Firebreak D.Wildfire Research:A Promising Future 第5页/供10页 架 扫描全能王创建 百宾 D According to new research,people gave the highest scores to stories made by AI that they were told had been written by humans and were unable to tell the difference between human-and AI-created stories.The study,led by researchers at Villanova University,suggests that many people's ability to tell contents(内容)made by AI apart is poor. In this research,adult participants(read three short imaginary stories.They were written either by real people or by ChatGPT.In the first test,1,682 participants read one story.Participants were told either the true information or wrong information about whether the story came from a human or AI.Then the participants scored how good the story was and how much fun they thought it was.In the second and third tests,there were 424 and 481 participants separately.Each of them read one story from a human and one from AI.They didn't know who wrote them and needed to find out the writer of each story. The results showed that stories made by AI got higher scores for quality and interest than human-written ones.What's more,participants gave even higher scores to AI-made stories when they thought humans had written them.Only 39.93%of participants could correctly tell AI-made content in the second test,and the rate (was 51.97%in the third one. Dr.Deena Weisberg,senior author of the study,said,"In our research,participants gave top scores to stories that they believed were from humans,though AI actually wrote them.This shows a preference for stories written by real people.We think creative writing needs special human advantages,such as emotional understanding and real-life experience,which leads people to belittle AI's abilities." As for why AI-made stories got better scores,Weisberg explained,"AI usually writes in a clearer and simpler way,so readers can follow it easily.But stories written by humans are often less clear. Sometimes their real meaning is not shown openly.For example,AI usually shows the main ideas straight in its stories.Unlike that,human writers let readers get the meaning from the characters'words and actions.” 32.What is the primary finding of the new research? A.AI is good at copying human stories. B.Most stories we read are written by AI. C.Human-written stories are more interesting. D.AI-created stories are likely to get higher scores. 33.How were the second and third tests different from the first one? A.Participants were asked to rewrite two stories. B.Participants received only stories written by AI. C.Participants needed to grade the quality of stories. 第6页/共10页 扫描全能王创建 百宾 D.Participants were given no information about writers. 34.What does the underlined word "belittle"in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A.Uncover. B.Undervalue. C.Enlarge. D.Review. 35.What advantage does AI writing have over human writing? A.It makes understanding easier. B.It carries more emotions. C.It improves readers'thinking ability. D.It has more hidden meanings. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据文章内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It's almost impossible to never complain ()but if you can learn to stop complaining or just complain less,your life will change for the better.It's not easy to change your way of thinking from negative and critical(爱挑剔的)to more positive.36 Here are some practical ways to stop complaining.
