Sasha Masakowski remembers being six years old,seated at the piano next to her father — the well-known jazz guitarist,Steve Masakowski.
"He'd play harmonies in the background on the guitar,and he'd encourage me to improvise (即兴演奏)," Sasha recalls. "He'd tell me to play something using just the white keys or just the black keys,and I'd make up music." She says she was a little composer playing along with her dad in their New Orleans home. "I love those memories," she adds.
As Sasha got older,though,her interest in jazz began to flag.Sasha went to a local arts high school and focused on musical theater.Steve admits to hoping his daughter would develop a love for jazz.
The father's expectation was eventually met when the daughter rediscovered jazz music.Sasha says she admired a guy in the jazz department until the day they met.The first thing he said was, "I'm such a big fan of your dad's!" She says the experience helped her realize that her father and his music were,in fact,cool.Finally,Sasha decided to study jazz instead of musical theater at the University of New Orleans,where her father headed the Jazz Studies Program.
Now,Sasha and Steve love playing together and they treasure the common language jazz gives them.Both compose music,but while her father is more focused on traditional jazz and teaching,Sasha likes to produce music with more electronic trends than Steve's.Despite different interests,Steve's pride in his daughter is clear.Today,Sasha is known for her musicality and her ability to improvise.

Although baby dolls are usually targeted at children,the toys have been inspiring the imaginations of an older age group as well.One assisted living home company has brought dolls which sound like and look like tiny humans to live with the elderly people with Alzheimer's (老年痴呆症) as a way to help improve their health.
The dolls bring joy to the patients' days and help them remember what it means to look after and care for someone.One unexpected effect of the toys is that many patients have even been able to abate their anxiety medication as they focus on looking after the dolls.
During Cuddle (拥抱) Therapy,they cuddle,hold,rock,and tend to them,looking after the dolls as they were babies.While it has been shown that caring for the dolls greatly alleviates (减轻) the senior citizen's sadness and anxiety,it also allows them to express love and recreate a sense of connection to their environment and the world.
Although Cuddle Therapy isn't the most high-tech solution,patients have a strong emotional response and show signs of improvement when it comes to their mental health.Executive Director at Poet's Walk Warrenton,Terra Brown said, "Among the various forms of recreation therapy that our caregivers provide,we have found Cuddle Therapy is one of the simplest and most effective.It is also one of the most successful as it gives our residents a sense of purpose that they long for." The therapy is offered in four U.S.states.April Hannewald's mother is a patient at Poet's Walk Memory Care Community in Nevada,and because of Cuddle Therapy,she's become re-energized and feels a greater sense of purpose. "My mother is not very verbal any more,but when I'm pushing her around in a wheelchair,she immediately starts talking in full sentences when we pass the baby dolls," saying things like these, "Oh look!What are the babies doing?" Hannewald said.
8. What is the feature of the dolls brought by that assisted living home company? ______
A. They can take any shape.
B. They can do various things.
C. They can make sounds of various animals.
D. They're like real human babies in appearance.
9. What does the underlined word "abate" in Paragraph 2 mean? ______
A. Reduce. B. Double. C. Repeat. D. Check.
10. During Cuddle Therapy,what can dolls do? ______
A. They can remind the elderly patients of their childhood.
B. They can take care of the elderly patients when necessary.
C. They can help improve the elderly patients' mental condition.
D. They can replace the elderly patients' family and stay with them.
11. Why is April Hannewald's mother mentioned? ______
A. To explain how to use the dolls.
B. To show the dolls are very popular.
C. To show the dolls are really helpful.
D. To explain why people buy the dolls.
D
Schools in the US and elsewhere are announcing bans on the recently released AI – powered ChatGPT out of fear that students could use the technology to complete their assignments.However,bans may be practically impossible given how difficult it is to detect when text is composed by ChatGPT.Is it instead time to rethink how students are taught and evaluated?
Educators are starting to question what it means to assess student learning if an AI can write an essay or paper similar to,or even better than,a student would — and the teacher can't tell the difference.Many teachers believe the time - honored learning tradition will be destroyed from the ground up by Chat GPT.The Los Angeles Unified School District in California first blocked the use of ChatGPT on networks and devices in December 2022.
However,removing technology from the classroom can mean undesirable consequences,such as creating more obstacles for students with disabilities,says Trust.Additionally,restricting the use of ChatGPT on school networks and devices can't stop students from using ChatGPT at home and in libraries.
It is also unclear if anti - cheating software can reliably detect AI - assisted writing.OpenAI is working to develop a digital watermark that can help teachers and academics spot students who are using ChatGPT to write essays.OpenAI's attempts to watermark AI text,however,hit limits.
Instead of worrying about how ChatGPT could enable cheating,educators should ask what motivates students to cheat in the first place and work on developing relationships of trust,says Jesse Stommel at the University of Denver in Colorado.
"Talk to students really frankly about what ChatGPT's capable of,what it's not," says Stommel. "Have students use it to write an essay about Jane Austen and gender dynamics,and then have them read that essay and peer review it and think about what ChatGPT gets right and wrong."
12. What does the author suggest schools do? ______
A. Adjust teaching and assessment.
B. Meet different demands from students.
C. Prohibit the use of ChatGPT in classrooms.
D. Break with the traditional teaching method.
13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? ______
A. Dark future of ChatGPT.
B. Educators' worrying concern.
C. Crisis of traditional learning.
D. Difficulty in telling AI's writing.
14. What is the author's attitude toward OpenAI's watermark technology? ______
A. Amused. B. Hopeful. C. Shocked. D. Doubtful.
15. What can be inferred from Jesse Stommel? ______
A. AI helps students tell right and wrong.
B. Students should write about famous writers.
C. Educators should guide students to use AI properly.
D. The trust between teachers and students is hard to form.

"Huh?" Ava jumped.
"Do you think you could come a little early?I could use your help inflating (使充气) the floating basketball hoops (篮筐) and the ball.And I will need you to help me set the tables."
Ava didn't know what to say.Melanie was one of her best friends.She couldn't miss her party.But she didn't want the whole school to find out she couldn't swim.That would be too embarrassing. "I think I might be busy this Saturday," Ava said,lowering her head.She saw the disappointment on Melanie's face. "Maybe I could stop by for a little while,but I definitely wouldn't have time to swim."
Ava spent the rest of the school day trying to avoid Melanie's questions about what she had to do on Saturday and why she couldn't stay for the whole party.Ava felt awful.That night she asked her parents to ground her or make other plans so she couldn't go to Melanie's party.
"Ava,this is silly," her mother said. "Melanie is your best friend.She won't care that you can't swim." Ava wasn't so sure.

(2)段落大意题。根据第二段Educators are starting to question what it means to assess student learning if an AI can write an essay or paper similar to,or even better than,a student would — and the teacher can't tell the difference.Many teachers believe the time - honored learning tradition will be destroyed from the ground up by Chat GPT.(教育工作者开始质疑,如果人工智能可以写出与学生相似甚至更好的论文或论文,那么评估学生的学习意味着什么---而老师无法分辨出其中的区别。许多教师认为,时间 - 受人尊敬的学习传统将被聊天GPT从头开始摧毁。)可知,教育者开始质疑,如果老师分不清是AI还是学生写的作文时,评估学生学习情况的意义,且ChatGPT也完全摧毁这种历史悠久的学习传统,由此可知,该段主要讲的是教育者的担忧。故选B项。
(3)观点态度题。根据第四段OpenAI is working to develop a digital watermark that can help teachers and academics spot students who are using ChatGPT to write essays.OpenAI's attempts to watermark AI text,however,hit limits.(OpenAI正在努力开发一种数字水印,可以帮助教师和学者发现使用ChatGPT撰写论文的学生。然而,OpenAI为AI文本加水印的尝试达到了极限。)可知,OpenAI正致力于开发一种数字水印,帮助教师和学者发现使用ChatGPT写论文的学生,但作者认为水印处理技术的尝试有限,由此可推断,作者对OpenAI的水印技术持怀疑态度。A.Amused.有趣的;B.Hopeful.充满希望的;C.Shocked.惊讶的;D.Doubtful.怀疑的。故选D项。
(4)推理判断题。根据尾段"Talk to students really frankly about what ChatGPT's capable of,what it's not," says Stommel. "Have students use it to write an essay about Jane Austen and gender dynamics,and then have them read that essay and peer review it and think about what ChatGPT gets right and wrong."(斯托梅尔说:"坦率地和学生们谈谈ChatGPT能做什么,不能做什么。""让学生用它来写一篇关于简 奥斯汀和性别动态的文章,然后让他们阅读这篇文章,并进行同行评审,思考ChatGPT在哪些方面是对的,哪些是错的。")可知,Stommel建议教育者与学生开诚布公的谈谈ChatGPT,然后让他们使用ChatGPT写一篇文章,然后对ChatGPT的文章进行评论,由此可推断Stommel建议教育者正确引导学生使用ChatGPT。因此C.Educators should guide students to use AI properly.(教育者要引导学生正确使用AI。)符合题意。故选C项。
本文是一篇说明文。主要分析了当前美国很多学校宣布禁止最近发布的人工智能驱动的ChatGPT的原因以及人们对这一问题引发的讨论。
一、速读全文,了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力,考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读,搜寻关键词、主题句,捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点,并且理清文章脉络,把握语篇实质。
二、看题干,带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型,客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案;而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等,这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次,了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息,然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读,对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性,提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理,做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中,有时作者并未把意图说出来,阅读者要根据字面意思,通过语篇逻辑关系,研究细节的暗示,推敲作者的态度,理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理,不能就事论事,以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有:infer,imply,suggest,indicate等。
四、猜词悟义,扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜",通过构词,语法,定义,同位,对比,因果,常识,上下文等线索确定词义。
16~20.【答案】F、C、A、E、D
【解析】(1)联系上文题。根据上文We all want to reduce our personal footprints,and a big part of this is reducing the amount of waste we produce at home.Here,we bring you four strategies for reducing waste in commonly wasteful areas of your life.(我们都想减少我们的个人足迹,其中很大一部分是减少我们在家里产生的废物量。在这里,我们为你带来四个减少生活中常见废物领域浪费的策略)提到了减少生活中常见废物浪费领域的废物的策略,F项"它们包括电子产品、食品、床上用品和衣服,以及花园。"符合语境,具体解释了这四个领域。故选F。
(2)语境衔接题。根据上文A high repairability score means significantly less waste.Whether a household item is fixable often translates to whether it ends up in a garbage can.(高可修复性评分意味着更少的浪费。一件家居用品是否可以修复,往往意味着它最终会不会被扔进垃圾桶)指出有些东西可以修复,这样就不用扔掉,减少浪费,下文That's why France now requires electronic products,such as smartphones and laptops,to have a label indicating a repairability score.(这就是为什么法国现在要求智能手机和笔记本电脑等电子产品必须贴上可修复性分数的标签)表明空处介绍了一个原因,一个要求在电子产品上贴上可修复性得分的标签的理由,结合上文可以修复就可以减少浪费可推断,C项"修复你的东西是减少电子垃圾的好方法。"符合语境,承上启下。故选C。
(3)联系下文题。根据下文After noticing that good dining hall food was ending up in garbage cans every day,a group of students at the University of Maryland,College Park,created the Food Recovery Network,a nationwide student movement collecting surplus (剩余的) cafeteria food and donating it to hunger-fighting nonprofits.You can learn more about their work and join the movement at foodrecoverynet work org.(马里兰大学帕克分校的一群学生注意到,每天好的食堂食物被扔进了垃圾桶,于是他们创建了"食物回收网络",这是一个全国性的学生运动,收集食堂剩余的食物,并将其捐赠给抗击饥饿的非营利组织。你可以在fooddrecoverynet work org.网站上了解更多关于他们的工作,并加入这项运动)可知,本段讲述回收多余的食物,减少浪费。A项"回收多余的食物。"符合语境。故选A。
(4)联系下文题。根据下文In recent years,an increasing number of companies have started gathering feathers for new products from reclaimed bedding and clothes.(近年来,越来越多的公司开始从回收的床上用品和衣服中收集羽毛来制作新产品)讲述了衣物回收,E项中的collecting呼应下文的gathering,E项"了解当地企业是否在收集它们进行回收利用。"符合语境。故选E。
(5)联系下文题。根据下文When left on the ground,the leaves of a tree serve as shelter and food for beneficial insects and other wildlife,contributing to a balanced ecosystem.Fallen leaves also make for great fertilizer (肥料);cut them into pieces and add them to the compost (堆肥) container to feed your garden later.(当树叶留在地面上时,它们为益虫和其他野生动物提供了庇护所和食物,有助于维持生态系统的平衡。落叶也是很好的肥料;把它们切成小块,放入堆肥容器中,以后可以用来喂养花园)讲述了落叶的益处。D项"利用落叶有很多好处。"符合语境。故选D。
本文是说明文。文章介绍了减少日常浪费的简单方法。
七选五阅读是完成性阅读,和完形填空很类似,不同的是一个选词,一个选句子。解题时,要注意上下文语境,充分考虑信息词(选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词),选出最符合语境的句子。

【解析】(1)考查现在分词。句意:亚马逊雨林是世界上最大的雨林,横跨8个国家。分析可知,此处应用非谓语动词形式作状语,cross与其逻辑主语the Amazon rainforest之间是主动关系,故应用现在分词作状语。故填crossing。
