Without a doubt,Cai’s impact on contemporary art is undeniable.His installations have attracted audiences around the world and will inspire future generations to break free and find beauty in the unpredictable(不可预测的).4.Which might be the best title for Cai Guo-Qiang?A.An explosive genius.B.A creative sculptor.C.A traditional painter.D.An artistic pioneer.5.What does the word“ephemeral”mean in the passage?A.Unique.B.Short-lived.C.Unconventional.D.Breath-taking.6.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Cai’s impact on art is unpredictable.B.Cai’s success results from global recognition.C.Cai’s art changes traditional concept of beauty.D.Cai’s art inspires artists to think outside the box.7.What is the text most likely to be?A.A diary entry of Cai Guo-Qiang.B.A profile of celebrity in a magazine.C.A scientific research paper on fireworks.D.An advertisement for a fireworks company.CThe world’s largest whales are more than just astonishing creatures.Much like the ocean, soil and forests,whales can help save humans from the increasing climate crisis by storing carbon.In a paper published recently,climate researchers suggest that whales are important,but often overlooked,carbon sinks.The enormous size of these marine mammals,which can reach150tons,means they can store carbon much more effectively than smaller animals.And because whales live longer than most animals,they could be“one of the largest stable living carbon pools”in the ocean.Even when whales die,their dead bodies fall down to the deepest parts of the sea and settle on the seafloor,trapping the carbon they’ve stored in their bodies.An indirect way whales can be critical carbon sinks is through their waste.Whale poop(粪便)is rich in nutrients which can betaken up by phytoplankton—tiny organisms that suck up carbon dioxide as they grow.The process of carbon sequestration helps reduce climate impact,because it locks away carbon that otherwise would have warmed the planet somewhere else for hundreds,if not thousands of years.Yet whales are threatened,with six out of13great whale species classified as endangered or vulnerable due to threats including industrial whaling,as well as trap in fishing equipment, climate change-caused shifts in prey availability,noise pollution and more.Heidi Pearson,a researcher at the University of Alaska Southeast,said the research shows that protecting whales has a double benefit—helping to stop the biodiversity crisis as well as human-caused climate change.Protecting whales is a low risk and low regret strategy,because there’s really no downside.She said there was no risk to this strategy compared to other untested, expensive solutions to capturing and trapping carbon,such as geoengineering.But there remain big gaps in knowledge to fully determine how whale carbon should be used to slow down climate changes.Pearson hopes the current paper pushes policymakers to consider whales as a significant part of climate change solution.8.What does paragraph2focus on about whales?A.What their life cycles are like.B.Why their roles are overlooked.C.Why they are called carbon sinks.D.Where they are on the food chain.9.What does the underlined“it”refer to?A.The waste of whales.B.The carbon trap of whales.C.The death of whales.D.The carbon cycle in nature.10.What does Heidi Pearson want to stress?A.Geoengineering is costly and untested.B.The strategy involving whales carries no risks.C.Protecting whales can be a natural climate solution.D.Whales’survival is the key to stopping biodiversity crisis.11.What is the purpose of the text?A.To call for further research on whales.B.To call on people to balance the ecosystem.C.To present a new reason for protecting whales.D.To stress the need of addressing climate changes.DCollege and high-school teachers are expressing concern about ChatGPT,an AI program that allows people with limited writing skills to create high-quality texts.It calls into question how and why we teach writing at all.If AI can do a fairly good job at most writing tasks,why spend so much time learning writing in school?In fact,learning to write goes beyond just mastering grammar,punctuation,and sentence structure.It involves much more.For one thing,it’s about learning to turn a loose set of thoughts into a clear line of reasoning—a skill that is useful for everyone,not just those who enjoy writing or need to do a lot of it for work.Learning to write also trains your imagination to construct the person who will read your words.It puts you in relation to someone you may not know,someone who may even not exist. When you learn to write,you learn to meet their needs in an unfamiliar context.Even ordinary assignments teach students to predict what another person knows and expects.Writing is never simply self-expression.It’s expression to a specific audience for a specific purpose.In some cases,like a love letter,a writer knows their audience very well.In others,the audience is every bit a work of the imagination as a novel’s characters are.Writers,then,should give up trying to address the public at large,but should imagine that a friend,though not the closest friend,is listening to our talk.When this act of imagination is done well,a reader can feel deeply understood,as if a stranger has told them some previously unknown truth about themselves.That’s how I felt reading“Difference Maker”—an essay about parenthood.While our situations were unique, naming the problem provided a deeper understanding.It seems unavoidable that large-language models of AI will allow us to offload some of the writing tasks that students learn in school.But we can’t allow ourselves to lose the capacity to empathize(共情)with distant strangers at just the moment when we’re more able than ever tocommunicate with them.12.What is teachers’concern about ChatGPT?A.It’s a challenge to apply it to teaching.B.It’s hard to grade a paper written by it.C.It limits students’imagination and creativity.D.It questions the necessity of teaching writing.13.What does the author think of learning to write?A.It helps with logical thinking.B.It is a basic skill for everyone.C.It focuses on correct expression.D.It is closely related to social skills.14.What makes writing effective according to the text?A.Expressing oneself.B.Targeting intended readers.C.Conveying imaginative ideas.D.Creating attractive characters.15.What may be a suitable title for the text?A.What AI Can’t Teach the Writing StudentsB.ChatGPT Writing VS Traditional WritingC.Never Lose the Capacity for EmpathyD.What Is the Future for AI Writing第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In this post, we will explore four interesting cultural traditions around the world. Giving cinnamon (肉桂) in Denmark In the western part of Denmark, if a person is not yet married by the time they reach their 25th birthday, they will be restrained by their friends and have cinnamon thrown on them in the New Year’s Eve. The unique tradition can be translated to “giving cinnamon”. The Festival of Light in Thailand The Festival of Light, also called “Loy Krathong”, is on the evening of the full moon on the 12th month of the Thai lunar calendar. The maker of the krathong attaches a candle to the handcrafted flower arrangement, which will be floating down riverways to pray for financial luck and happiness in the coming year. Wife-carrying Competition in Finland More of a competitive sport than it is a tradition, a Wife-carrying Competition in Finland. Athletes participate in a race where a male competitor carries a female competitor through an obstacle course. The winners are the fastest team, which will be awarded an interesting bonus — the wife’s weight in beer. Baking money into food in Bolivia While many people anticipate watching fireworks and tasting delicious dishes on the New Year’s Eve, Bolivians bake money into sugary dessert such as cakes. The lucky person receiving the monetary surprise can look forward to enjoying a prosperous year. Do you want to know more? Check out the following post about traditions from around the world. 21．Who will be thrown cinnamon on in Denmark? A．A 24-year-old fiancée. B．A single person over 25. C．A father on his 25th birthday. D．A 26-year-old divorced friend. 22．What does the traditions in Thailand and in Bolivia have in common? A．Both are celebrated in the New Years’ Eve. B．Both are concerned with the moon goddess. C．Both involve fireworks and delicious dishes. D．Both are related to people’s wish for wealth. 23．Where will you probably find this text? A．https://www.worldwide.com/blog. B．https://www.artexhibit.com/portrait. C．https://www.livebroadcast.com/soccer. D．https://www.onlinevideo.com/diasters. B Ricky lived in a lovely, futuristic house, which had everything you could ever want. Though he didn’t help much around the house, Ricky was still very pleased when his parents bought him the latest model of robot. As soon as it arrived, off it went, cooking, cleaning, ironing, and—most importantly—gathering up clothes from Ricky’s bedroom floor. On that first day, when Ricky went to sleep, he had left his bedroom in a truly disastrous state. When he woke up the next morning, everything was perfectly clean and tidy.

from2012,India generates15,000tonnes of plastics a day,of which the gathered ones only achieve60%.The trashed-but-not-gathered plastic waste leads to land and water pollution. posing serious threat to the environment.After seeing that,Ankur Chawla,a drink expert,undertook research to find a solution,after which he realised the biggest problem the country faced was disposing of plastic waste.To address it,he wanted to come up with a solution where they do not add to the problem of waste.Fortunately,Ankur was not alone.He met Bhrigu Seth who was into green farming.Both of them found that they shared a common goal and it didn’t take long for them to draft a plan of action.It is estimated that over90percent of aluminium(铝)drink cans in India are recycled.Instead,70percent of the cans are manufactured through recycled waste.After going through challenges at hand,the pair made up their minds.Before taking the next step.both co-founders visited five-star hotels and took samples of water in aluminium cans,asking them whether they would give it a shot if something like that comes in the market.The pair received an overwhelmingly positive response.They then determined to launch Responsible Whatr,natural spring water drink packed in an aluminium can to solve the problem of waste plastic water bottles.As one of India’s first natural spring water drink,Responsible Whatr offered an environmentally friendly and endlessly recyclable aluminium can.It’s a non-alcoholic drink that was launched with a vision for an eco-friendly future and an agenda to reduce single-use plastic pollution.Going forward,Ankur and Bhrigu aim to cooperate with airports and ecommerce gates which would help them in directly reaching the homes of high networth individuals(HNIs).They also plan to tie up with corporate firms and cinema halls and join hands with NGOs that are fighting for the conservation of beaches and oceans.4.What inspired Ankur to conduct his research?A.Plastics remained the major bottle material.B.Uncollected plastics caused severe pollution.C.Plastics accounted for most of the daily waste.D.The amount of plastic waste was beyond control.5.What was Ankur and Bhrigu’s solution to the problem?A.Creating a new packaging design.B.Developing an alternative to plastics.unching a rubbish sorting program.D.Increasing the recycling of plastic cans.6.What was Responsible Whatr aimed at?A.Removing plastic pollution.B.Promoting aluminium cans.C.Advertising non-alcoholic drinks.D.Advocating a sustainable approach.7.How do Ankur and Bhrigu plan to expand their market?A.By cooperating with NHIs.B.By introducing new products.C.By targeting profitable NGOs.D.By establishing diverse channels.CA new finding from Cambridge scientists has shown that an artificial intelligent(AI)system can acquire features of the brains of humans in order to solve tasks.“Not only is the brain great at solving complex problems,but it does so while using very little energy.In ournew work we show that considering the brains’problem-solving abilities alongside its goal of spending as few resources as possible can help us understand why brains look like they do,”said Jascha Achterberg,a scholar at the University of Cambridge.In a study published in Nature Machine Intelligence,Achterberg and his colleagues created an artificial system intended to model a simplified version of the brain.Instead of real neurons(神经元)in brains,the system used computational nodes(节点).The researchers gave the system a simple task to complete,where it had to combine multiple pieces of information to decide upon the shortest route to get to the destination.One of the reasons the team chose this particular task is that to complete it,the system needs to maintain a number of elements-start location,end location and intermediate steps-and once it has learned to do the task reliably,it is possible to observe,at different moments in a trial,which nodes are important.Initially,the system does not know how to complete the task and makes mistakes.But when it is given feedback it gradually learns to get better at the task.The system then repeats the task until eventually it learns to perform it correctly.Co-author Professor Duncan Astle said,“This simple task forces artificial systems to produce some quite complicated characteristics.Interestingly,they are characteristics shared by biological systems.I think that tells us something fundamental about why our brains are organised the way they are.”The team also believes their findings are likely to be of interest to the AI community,too,where they could allow for the development of more efficient systems.8.Which best describes the brains of humans according to the text?A.Intelligent.B.Efficient.C.Adaptive.D.Imaginative.9.Why did researchers assign the route-finding task?A.To require decision-making process.B.To complete it without any effort.C.To result in various node sizes.D.To involve specific procedures.10.What can we infer about the system from the last two paragraphs?A.It shows limits of artificial intelligence.B.It needs human instructions to progress.C.It performs complicated tasks by learning.D.It has much in common with human brains.11.What is the research team’s attitude toward the finding?A.Cautious.B.Enthusiastic.C.Hopeful.D.Skeptical.DMost people would be terrified of entering waters with crocodiles(鳄鱼),but not Sao Chan.Like others living in a jungle village,the73-year-old farmer says the Siamese crocodiles found in the waterways may look ferocious,but they should not be treated with prejudice.“If we come close to them,they just run away,”Chan says.He’s right.There have been extremely few reported attacks by Siamese crocodiles on humans in the world, and reportedly none anywhere in Cambodia.Instead,it’s the crocodiles that have every reason to fear people.Once common throughout Southeast Asia,the particularly shy Siamese crocodile,which can grow up to10feet long,was for decades hunted for its skin and meat to such an extent that,in the early1990s,the species was thought to be extinct in the wild.Some of them survived in the Cardamoms,however,where populations of the reptiles,likely numbering fewer than200individuals in total,were rediscovered in2000.Since then,local people have conducted regular patrols (巡逻)to protect them from threats.While the patrols and other conservation efforts have helped prevent the extinction of the Siamese crocodiles,concerns about the species’long-term survival have remained because population numbers have stayed largely flat since their rediscovery.In2022,conservationists have introduced more Siamese crocodiles into the wild than ever before,not just in the Cardamoms but for the first time into a wildlife reserve in the northern part of the country,where the crocodiles historically were found.Advances in genetic testing have identified crocodiles suitable for release,and satellite tracking of reintroduced crocodiles has improved protection efforts.“We have a long way to go,but the potential comeback of the Siamese crocodile could be Cambodia’s most successful conservation story,”says Pablo Sinovas,who leads a nonprofit reintroducing the animals.“Its survival isn’t just an ecological necessity,but a symbolic matter of urgency if we have any hope of preserving nature on Earth.”12.What does the underlined word“ferocious”in Paragraph1mean?A.Violent.B.Friendly.C.Ugly.D.Abnormal.13.What put Siamese crocodiles on the edge of extinction?A.Habitat loss.B.Water pollution.C.Human activities.D.Poor adaptability.14.Why are protectors worried about Siamese crocodiles?A.They are regularly disturbed by touristsB.Their quantity isn’t increased as expected.C.The locals lack awareness of protecting themD.They fail to adjust to unfamiliar surroundings15.What plays a great role in crocodiles’reintroduction?A.Frequent patrols.B.Modern technology.C.Economic advances.D.Genetic transformation.第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

benefits,particularly for introverts,who are___31___to tell their thoughts to others.British researchers analyzed150conversations exchanged by231teens.In100of these chats,the study participant began IM'ing while in a negative emotional state such as sadness or anger.The rest were conversations begun when the participant was feeling good or neutral.After the chat,participants reported a20%reduction in their distress—not enough to completely___32___it but enough to leave them feeling better than they had before reaching out.“Our findings suggest that IM'ing between distressed adolescents and their peers may___33___contribute to their well-being,"the authors write,noting provide emotional relief and that prior research has shown that people___34___to talk to strangers

provide a sense of relief—and doing so,knowing that your words are reaching a(n)___38___friend may be even more therapeutic.Researchers also found that introverted participants reported more relief from IM conversations when they were distressed than extroverts did.In fact,introverts care deeply for their friends,family and colleagues,but even the most socially skilled ones sometimes long for a

always rectangular and located in the Core of a house,either___44___by rooms on four sides or three sides plus a wall. Skywells were designed to cool buildings before air-conditioning existed.When wind blows above a skywell house,it can enter the indoor space through the opening.Because outdoor air is often cooler than indoor air,the___45___breeze travels down the walls to the lower storeys and create air___46___by replacing warmer indoor air,which rises and leaves through the opening.The main purpose of a skywell is to allow in light,improve ventilation(通风)and___47___ rainwater.In Huizhou,a skywell is small but tall,and the rooms around it can___48___sunlight on hot days,enabling the bottom of the skywell to stay cool.___49___hot air inside the house can rise and escape through the opening above the skywell,which“works just like a___50___”As a(n)___51___space between indoor life and the outdoor environment,a skywell acts as an effective heat buffer(缓冲)to shield residents from the hot air outside.But the largest part of skywell's cooling effect actually comes when there are bodies of water in the enclosure.Evaporated water cools hot air,a process known as evaporative cooling which is___52___in Huizhou skywells.In the past,Huizhou families collected rainwater in their skywells because they believed this could safeguard and boost their wealth.Skywells therefore have channels around them to___53___rainwater coming from the roofs.Though existing in China for hundreds of years,in recent times they have often been forgotten by people who prefer modern___54___.Over the past two decades,however,due to a___55___of traditional Chinese architecture,skywell buildings have been making a comeback.41.A.Parallel with B.Different from.
