Located 20 miles southwest of Cleveland, Ohio, Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a mixed ecosystem of forest and wetlands sheltering a variety of animals.

If you’re a keen reader, you have probably heard of Chilean American author Isabel Allende and may have read one of her 20+ books of fiction and non-fiction.
One of Latin America’s most famous living writers, Isabel Allende primarily writes in Spanish. But her work has been translated into English and adapted for the big screen, too, so it’s accessible to readers and viewers beyond her homeland.
Isabel Allende was born in 1942 in Peru to Chilean parents. Her parents separated when she was very young, and she spent a few years of her childhood in Chile with her mother, two siblings and grandfather. When Allende was 11, her mother remarried and Allende spent the rest of her childhood in Bolivia and Lebanon.
Before her first book was published, Allende worked as a journalist. She co-founded the first feminist magazine, Paula, in Chile, in 1967, worked in television, wrote and produced a play, and wrote children’s stories and magazines. In 1973, Allende and her family moved to Venezuela, where they lived for the next 13 years.
In 1981, the foundations of her first novel, The House of the Spirits, were laid: after learning that her 99-year-old grandfather was dying, Allende wrote a letter to him. This eventually became The House of the Spirits, a magical-realist family long story.
Allende had a long, productive and celebrated writing career. Over four decades she has published 24 books, which have been translated into more than 40 languages and sold more than 75 million copies, making her one of the best-selling authors in the world. She is a fairly rare author who has achieved widespread popularity among general readers and acclaim among literary critics. She herself and her books have been the subject of many academic literary studies, and she’s an essential part of the Latin American Spanish literary canon(经典).
24. What language does Allende mostly write in
A. Latin. B. Spanish. C. English. D. French.
25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Allende’s early life. B. Allende’s homeland.
C. Allende’s education. D. Allende’s marriage.
26. Who is directly related with Allende’s first novel
A. Her mother. B. Her father. C. Her child. D. Her grandfather.
27. What does the underlined word “acclaim” in the last paragraph mean
A. Worry. B. Doubt. C. Praise. D. Comfort.
C
Given the excitement it has created, there’s a good chance that you’ve heard about ChatGPT. It’s a powerful, new artificial intelligence tool, which can do a lot of things such as answering a question, explaining a concept, composing an email or writing a college essay, all in a matter of seconds.
“The essay, in particular the college essay, is dead,” said Edward Tian, a student at Princeton University. “For generations, we have been taught how to research, think, and write. That entire tradition is about to be completely changed.”
Despite having studied AI, Edward, like the rest of us, was so shocked by the power of ChatGPT that he couldn’t shake thoughts about the challenges presented by the AI tool. Then he had an idea. What if he applied what he had learned over the last couple of years to help the public identify whether something has been written by a machine
On January 2, Edward released his app, GPTZero.
It basically uses ChatGPT against itself. To determine whether an essay is written by ChatGPT, GPTZero uses two indicators: the familiarity of text and the variations of sentences. If the text is very familiar to GPTZero — because ChatGPT has also been trained on such data — then it’s more likely to be AI-generated.
Separately, GPTZero compares the variations of sentences. Humans tend to write with greater varieties, for example, with some longer or complex sentences alongside shorter ones. AI sentences are usually less varified.
Edward isn’t trying to stop ChatGPT in its tracks. He believes that’s impossible, and opposes blanket bans (禁止) against the use of ChatGPT, like the one recently announced by New York City public schools. Students, he believes, will use the technology anyway.
“GPTZero is not meant to be a tool to stop these technologies from being used,” he said. “But with any new technology, we need to be able to use it responsibly and we need to have safeguards.”
28. What does Edward Tian think of ChatGPT
A. It is very harmful to the society. B. It is a powerful and perfect AI tool.
C. It might cause problems for educators. D. It can share the burden with students.
29. What is a feature of the Al-produced essay, according to the text
A. It has longer sentences. B. It contains more familiar words.
C. There are more difficult words. D. There are fewer changes of sentences.
30. What does Edward Tian suggest we do about new technologies
A. Wait and see at first. B. Use them responsibly.
C. Put them under strict control. D. Accept them as early as possible.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. GPTZero, a Safeguard Against ChatGPT
B. GPTZero, a Necessary Helper for Students
C. ChatGPT, a Huge Threat to College Students
D. ChatGPT, a Promising AI Tool in the Future
D
When we talk more broadly of body language, rather than good postures, we can actually see the effects it has on relationships right throughout the animal kingdom. In particular, body language is used to express power through expansive (扩张的) postures.
You might know about Amy Cuddy’s famous Ted Talk and her incredible insights on how posture changes our thoughts. Cuddy and her team study body language particularly what they call “high-power” and “low-power” poses.
“High-power” poses refer to the act of taking a posture of confidence, which can help you feel more self-confident, even after only two minutes. Typical high-power poses are about opening up. You stretch and expand your body to take up as much space as possible. For example, bosses are doing high-power poses when they lean back in their chairs, put their hands behind their heads, and kick their feet up onto their desks. Meanwhile, people take low-power positions when they’re feeling helpless or defeated. They close up, arms around themselves, taking up the smallest space.
Some even more recent studies took this even further: A study by researchers from Columbia and Harvard Universities showed that body language symbolizing power can actually affect our decision-making, unintentionally. The researchers measured the desire for risk of participants in either expansive, powerful poses or constricted (收缩的) poses. Those in the powerful poses not only felt more powerful and in control, but were 45% more likely to take risky actions.
“This isn’t about what your body language is communicating to others; it’s about what your body language is communicating to you. Your body language is changing your mind, which changes your behavior, which changes your outcomes,” said Cuddy.
So if you want to take advantage of the benefits of these poses to live a healthier and happier life where should you start
32. Which is probably a low-power pose according to the text
A. Sitting with hands crossed in the lap.
B. Arms raised in a “V” above the head.
C. Standing with your legs open.
D. Sitting with your arms spreading out on the chair.
33. What can we say about people in the expansive poses
A. They are hesitant. B. They are very shy.
C. They feel out of control. D. They feel more confident.
34. What is the text mainly about
A. The posture of confidence. B. Cuddy’s research on behavior.
C. The surprising power of body language. D. The research about decision-making.
35. What might be talked about in the following paragraph
A. How to correct bad habits. B. How to improve your body language.
C. How posture affects your health. D. Why good posture matters for employees.

How to Learn Several Languages at a Time
Learning a new language is a challenging and wonderfully rewarding experience. At some point, you may find yourself needing or wanting to learn several languages at the same time. ___36___ However, it also allows you to challenge your brain and take advantage of the similarities and differences between the languages you’re learning.
___37___ If you have a choice, choose to learn one language that is easier for you, and another or others that are more difficult. An easier language will be one that is similar to your native language or another language that you know, while a more difficult language will be one that is less similar.
Make one language your priority. ___38___ This way, at the end of your hard work, you are more likely to be skilled in at least one of your languages, rather than only knowing a small amount of each of them.
Translate between the languages you’re learning. One way to keep all the languages you are learning active in your mind is to try translating between them, rather than translating them back to your native language. ___39___
Add all of the languages to a language-learning app or website. Several language-learning apps and websites, such as Duolingo, Memrise, Clozemaster, Anki and Lingvist allow you to add several languages at once. ___40___ This way, when you are on-the-go, you have quick access to a way to study any of the languages you are trying to learn.
A. This process can be very difficult.
B. Choose languages that vary in difficulty.
C. Study the same topic in all of the languages.
D. You can use a website to find a group like this.
E. This can help you understand the languages on a deeper level.

About a month ago, my husband and I found kindness in an unlikely place: standing in line at a Subway sandwich shop to pick up a quick dinner.
It was extremely busy on this particular night, and I noticed a dad behind us with his little girl, who looked to be around four. The man seemed as tired as my husband, but the little girl was cheerful and excited as she waited for her sandwich and cookie.
I watched as the man behind us got closer to the front of the line. He started to look worried. Right before we checked out, I heard the man say to the woman who had made his sandwiches that he was sorry to just leave his out because he didn’t have enough money to pay for them all. He looked very embarrassed. His little girl continued jumping around excitedly.
I quietly asked the cashier to add the man’s whole order to ours. I paid the $ 87.73, and we got out of there before the man behind us knew what had happened.
Like many others since COVID-19 hit, our family of five was living on one income. I was holding our debit card (借记卡) and knew that we only had $ 90.16 in our account. That was all we would have until payday three days later. But still, it felt great to be able to help that family, even though we would be out of money for a few days.
What happened next was amazing. My husband went back to that Subway the next week to pick up five sandwiches that I thought would cost $ 44.58. There was $ 47 in our account.
But it turned out that the dinner cost more than we had on the card. My husband told them to put his sandwich back because he couldn’t afford it. Then he paid for the four sandwiches and headed to our car.

1.续写词数应为150个左右;

If you’re a keen reader, you have probably heard of Chilean American author Isabel Allende and may have read one of her 20+ books of fiction and non-fiction.
One of Latin America’s most famous living writers, Isabel Allende primarily writes in Spanish. But her work has been translated into English and adapted for the big screen, too, so it’s accessible to readers and viewers beyond her homeland.
Isabel Allende was born in 1942 in Peru to Chilean parents. Her parents separated when she was very young, and she spent a few years of her childhood in Chile with her mother, two siblings and grandfather. When Allende was 11, her mother remarried and Allende spent the rest of her childhood in Bolivia and Lebanon.
Before her first book was published, Allende worked as a journalist. She co-founded the first feminist magazine, Paula, in Chile, in 1967, worked in television, wrote and produced a play, and wrote children’s stories and magazines. In 1973, Allende and her family moved to Venezuela, where they lived for the next 13 years.
In 1981, the foundations of her first novel, The House of the Spirits, were laid: after learning that her 99-year-old grandfather was dying, Allende wrote a letter to him. This eventually became The House of the Spirits, a magical-realist family long story.
Allende had a long, productive and celebrated writing career. Over four decades she has published 24 books, which have been translated into more than 40 languages and sold more than 75 million copies, making her one of the best-selling authors in the world. She is a fairly rare author who has achieved widespread popularity among general readers and acclaim among literary critics. She herself and her books have been the subject of many academic literary studies, and she’s an essential part of the Latin American Spanish literary canon(经典).
24. What language does Allende mostly write in
A. Latin. B. Spanish. C. English. D. French.
25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Allende’s early life. B. Allende’s homeland.
C. Allende’s education. D. Allende’s marriage.
26. Who is directly related with Allende’s first novel
A. Her mother. B. Her father. C. Her child. D. Her grandfather.
27. What does the underlined word “acclaim” in the last paragraph mean
A Worry. B. Doubt. C. Praise. D. Comfort.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】

Given the excitement it has created, there’s a good chance that you’ve heard about ChatGPT. It’s a powerful, new artificial intelligence tool, which can do a lot of things such as answering a question, explaining a concept, composing an email or writing a college essay, all in a matter of seconds.
“The essay, in particular the college essay, is dead,” said Edward Tian, a student at Princeton University. “For generations, we have been taught how to research, think, and write. That entire tradition is about to be completely changed.”
Despite having studied AI, Edward, like the rest of us, was so shocked by the power of ChatGPT that he couldn’t shake thoughts about the challenges presented by the AI tool. Then he had an idea. What if he applied what he had learned over the last couple of years to help the public identify whether something has been written by a machine
On January 2, Edward released his app, GPTZero.
It basically uses ChatGPT against itself. To determine whether an essay is written by ChatGPT, GPTZero uses two indicators: the familiarity of text and the variations of sentences. If the text is very familiar to GPTZero — because ChatGPT has also been trained on such data — then it’s more likely to be AI-generated.
Separately, GPTZero compares the variations of sentences. Humans tend to write with greater varieties, for example, with some longer or complex sentences alongside shorter ones. AI sentences are usually less varified.
Edward isn’t trying to stop ChatGPT in its tracks. He believes that’s impossible, and opposes blanket bans (禁止) against the use of ChatGPT, like the one recently announced by New York City public schools. Students, he believes, will use the technology anyway.
“GPTZero is not meant to be a tool to stop these technologies from being used,” he said. “But with any new technology, we need to be able to use it responsibly and we need to have safeguards.”
28. What does Edward Tian think of ChatGPT
A It is very harmful to the society. B. It is a powerful and perfect AI tool.
C. It might cause problems for educators. D. It can share the burden with students.
29. What is a feature of the Al-produced essay, according to the text
A. It has longer sentences. B. It contains more familiar words.
C. There are more difficult words. D. There are fewer changes of sentences.
30. What does Edward Tian suggest we do about new technologies
A. Wait and see at first. B. Use them responsibly.
C. Put them under strict control. D. Accept them as early as possible.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. GPTZero, a Safeguard Against ChatGPT
B. GPTZero, a Necessary Helper for Students
C. ChatGPT, a Huge Threat to College Students
D. ChatGPT, a Promising AI Tool in the Future
【答案】28 C 29. D 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要是介绍了一款反ChatGPT作弊的软件GPTZero。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“For generations, we have been taught how to research, think, and write, That entire tradition is about to be completely changed.”(几代人以来,我们一直被教导如何研究、思考和写作。这整个传统即将被彻底改变。)以及第三段中“Despite having studied AI, Edward, like the rest of us, was so shocked by the power of ChatGPT that he couldn’t shake thoughts about the challenges presented by the AI tool.”(尽管研究过人工智能,爱德华和我们其他人一样,被ChatGPT的力量所震惊,以至于他无法摆脱对人工智能工具带来的挑战的思考。)可推知, Edward Tian认为ChatGPT将给教育带来冲击,可能会给教育工作者带来问题。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Separately, GPTZero compares the variations of sentences. Humans tend to write with greater varieties, for example, with some longer or complex sentences alongside shorter ones. AI sentences are usually less varified.”(另外,GPTZero会比较句子的变化。人类倾向于用更大的变化来写作,例如,一些较长或复杂的句子和较短的句子。人工智能语句通常变化较少。)可知,人工智能论文的特点是句子的变化较少。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But with any new technology, we need to be able to use it responsibly and we need to have safeguards.”(但对于任何新技术,我们都需要能够负责任地使用它,我们需要有保障措施。)可知,Edward Tian建议我们负责任地使用新技术。故选B项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第五段“It basically uses ChatGPT against itself. To determine whether an essay is written by ChatGPT, GPTZero uses two indicators: the familiarity of text and the variations of sentences. If the text is very familiar to GPTZero — because ChatGPT has also been trained on such data — then it’s more likely to be AI-generated.”(它基本上对自己使用ChatGPT。为了确定一篇文章是否由ChatGPT撰写,GPTZero使用两个指标:文本的熟悉度和句子的变化。如果GPTZero非常熟悉文本——因为ChatGPT也接受过此类数据的训练——那么它更有可能是人工智能生成的。)可知,本文主要是介绍了一款反ChatGPT作弊的软件GPTZero。故文章最好的标题是“GPTZero,针对ChatGPT的报护措施”。故选A项。
D
When we talk more broadly of body language, rather than good postures, we can actually see the effects it has on relationships right throughout the animal kingdom. In particular, body language is used to express power through expansive (扩张的) postures.
You might know about Amy Cuddy’s famous Ted Talk and her incredible insights on how posture changes our thoughts. Cuddy and her team study body language, particularly what they call “high-power” and “low-power” poses.
“High-power” poses refer to the act of taking a posture of confidence, which can help you feel more self-confident, even after only two minutes. Typical high-power poses are about opening up. You stretch and expand your body to take up as much space as possible. For example, bosses are doing high-power poses when they lean back in their chairs, put their hands behind their heads, and kick their feet up onto their desks. Meanwhile, people take low-power positions when they’re feeling helpless or defeated. They close up, arms around themselves, taking up the smallest space.
Some even more recent studies took this even further: A study by researchers from Columbia and Harvard Universities showed that body language symbolizing power can actually affect our decision-making, unintentionally. The researchers measured the desire for risk of participants in either expansive, powerful poses or constricted (收缩的) poses. Those in the powerful poses not only felt more powerful and in control, but were 45% more likely to take risky actions.
“This isn’t about what your body language is communicating to others; it’s about what your body language is communicating to you. Your body language is changing your mind, which changes your behavior, which changes your outcomes,” said Cuddy.
So if you want to take advantage of the benefits of these poses to live a healthier and happier life, where should you start
32. Which is probably a low-power pose according to the text
A. Sitting with hands crossed in the lap.
B. Arms raised in a “V” above the head.
C. Standing with your legs open.
D. Sitting with your arms spreading out on the chair.
33. What can we say about people in the expansive poses
A. They are hesitant. B. They are very shy.
C. They feel out of control. D. They feel more confident.
34. What is the text mainly about
A. The posture of confidence. B. Cuddy’s research on behavior.
C. The surprising power of body language. D. The research about decision-making.
35. What might be talked about in the following paragraph
A. How to correct bad habits. B. How to improve your body language.
C. How posture affects your health. D. Why good posture matters for employees.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了身体语言对动物以及人际关系的影响,特别是通过扩张性姿势来表达权力。作者介绍了研究发现,高权力姿势能够提高个人自信心,进而影响个人决策。文章最后给出了建议,提醒人们从改变自己的身体语言开始,改变自己的思考和行为,从而实现更好的生活。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Meanwhile, people take low-power positions when they’re feeling helpless or defeated. They close up, arms around themselves, taking up the smallest space.(与此同时,当人们感到无助或被打败时,他们会采取低权力姿势。他们紧闭身体,双臂紧贴身体,占据最小的空间)”可推断,手交叉放在腿上坐着,缩小自己占用的空间,属于“低权利”姿势。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““High-power” poses refer to the act of taking a posture of confidence, which can help you feel more self-confident, even after only two minutes. (“强势”姿势指的是摆出一种自信的姿势,这种姿势即使在两分钟后也能让你感觉更自信)”及第四段“The researchers measured the desire for risk of participants in either expansive, powerful poses or constricted (收缩的) poses. Those in the powerful poses not only felt more powerful and in control, but were 45% more likely to take risky actions.(研究人员测量了参与者在舒展的、有力的姿势和收缩的姿势中对风险的渴望。那些摆出强势姿势的人不仅感觉自己更强大、更有控制力,而且采取冒险行动的可能性也高出45%)”可知,那些摆着扩张式的姿势的人通常会感觉更加自信。故选D。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In particular, body language is used to express power through expansive (扩张的) postures.(特别是,肢体语言被用来通过扩张的姿势来表达权力)”以及通读全文可知,文章讲述了身体语言对动物以及人际关系的影响,特别是通过扩张性姿势来表达权力即神奇的具有能量的肢体语言。由此可知,C选项“The surprising power of body language.( 肢体语言的惊人力量)”概括文章主要内容。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“So if you want to take advantage of the benefits of these poses to live a healthier and happier life, where should you start (所以,如果你想利用这些姿势的好处,过上更健康、更快乐的生活,你应该从哪里开始呢?)”可知,此处强调如果想通过利用这些姿势的好处,想要过上更健康、更快乐的生活,要从哪儿里开始。由此推知,接下来文章可能会讨论应该从哪些方面入手如何改善肢体语言。故选B。

Translate between the languages you’re learning. One way to keep all the languages you are learning active in your mind is to try translating between them, rather than translating them back to your native language. ___39___
Add all of the languages to a language-learning app or website. Several language-learning apps and websites, such as Duolingo, Memrise, Clozemaster, Anki and Lingvist allow you to add several languages at once. ___40___ This way, when you are on-the-go, you have quick access to a way to study any of the languages you are trying to learn.
A. This process can be very difficult.
B. Choose languages that vary in difficulty.
C. Study the same topic in all of the languages.
D. You can use a website to find a group like this.
E. This can help you understand the languages on a deeper level.

【57题详解】
考查形容词作定语。句意:据科学班老师陈友介绍,在6节课的时间里,学生们先学习了基础知识,然后再画草图,选择蔬菜制作美食车。此处knowledge是名词,由形容词修饰,base的形容词是basic。故填basic。
【58题详解】

考查主语从句。句意:最让老师们感动的是孩子们之间的团结和友谊。该句主语是主语从句,主语从句缺少引导词,从句的谓语动词缺少主语,所填词要其双重作用,这里是连接代词what引导的主语从句,位于句首用大写。故填What。
【65题详解】
考查情感形容词。句意:例如,虽然比赛很激烈,但学生们对冠军车感到很兴奋,就像他们自己脱颖而出一样。此处指“学生感到兴奋”,所以用动词excite的情感形容词excited。故填excited。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
About a month ago, my husband and I found kindness in an unlikely place: standing in line at a Subway sandwich shop to pick up a quick dinner.
It was extremely busy on this particular night, and I noticed a dad behind us with his little girl, who looked to be around four. The man seemed as tired as my husband, but the little girl was cheerful and excited as she waited for her sandwich and cookie.
I watched as the man behind us got closer to the front of the line. He started to look worried. Right before we checked out, I heard the man say to the woman who had made his sandwiches that he was sorry to just leave his out because he didn’t have enough money to pay for them all. He looked very embarrassed. His little girl continued jumping around excitedly.
I quietly asked the cashier to add the man’s whole order to ours. I paid the $ 87.73, and we got out of there before the man behind us knew what had happened.
Like many others since COVID-19 hit, our family of five was living on one income. I was holding our debit card (借记卡) and knew that we only had $ 90.16 in our account. That was all we would have until payday three days later. But still, it felt great to be able to help that family, even though we would be out of money for a few days.
What happened next was amazing. My husband went back to that Subway the next week to pick up five sandwiches that I thought would cost $ 44.58. There was $ 47 in our account.
But it turned out that the dinner cost more than we had on the card. My husband told them to put his sandwich back because he couldn’t afford it. Then he paid for the four sandwiches and headed to our car.

As he opened the door, one of the female workers ran to him.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The two men nodded at one another and went on their way.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
As he opened the door, one of the female workers ran to him. When he was confusedly wondering what she was for, the worker handed him his sandwich. Without a word, she ran back into the store. With a grateful heart, he assumed that the lady had just given it to him. About two minutes later, he was getting ready to leave when he saw the same man and little girl from a week earlier. At that moment, my husband knew what had happened.
The two men nodded at one another and went on their way. Although they didn’t say a word to each other, gratitude took roots in their hearts. They made sure for the second time that they both left the store with dinner for their families. My husband told me what had happened on arriving home. I was touched and lost in thought. In a world where distance means safety, it’s refreshing and soul-lifting when someone does something kind for you, even if it’s only at a local Subway.
