The first visit to a foreign country that I can remember was when I was about seven years old. We live about 5 miles away from the Canadian border(边界). My family and I went to Parc Safari, Quebec, a wonderful place that has animals and rides. We drove down a nice long road. My sister and I sat in the back of the car, and it was a hatchback(有仓门式后背的汽车) so we opened it up. I remember feeding the animals snacks we had bought for ourselves.
The time we went we were told there would not be monkeys because they had escaped and had not been found. I remember thinking to myself, how cool it would be to see a monkey in our backyard.
Even though the monkeys were not there it was still so much fun. When we reached the area that had camels, giraffes and other animals, I remember one of the camels reached into the car to get our snacks. However, we were a little gross out because the camels seemed to froth(吐白沫) at the mouth and we had camel slobber(口水) all over the car and us.
It was one of the best family vacations that I can remember. It was not too far from home, it was in a different country and it was with my family. I cannot remember if we went on the rides or not but seeing many animals was a great time. Now I am grown up and have a son, and I am planning to go there again. He is 7 years old and I think he is at a great age to enjoy a trip like this. I am sure it has changed a lot over the years but it will still be a great family trip.

Due to social events in recent years, the relationship between social media and teenagers mental health has been under heated discussion.
On Sept 30 a British court decided that content on social media platforms contributed to the depression of 14-year-old Molly Russell. Russell interacted with 2,100 posts related lo pessimistic, self-harm in the six months, leading up to her depression, reported the Observer website.
The correlation has also been proved by science. A study in 2019 showed that the frequent use of social media by teenagers can lead to a decrease in their mental health.
So, how can we make sure that teenagers won’t get hurt while using social media Chan, 18, from the University of Macao shared her experience. Chan said that she once came across short videos romanticizing mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. She immediately reported them to the platform.
But she said that the users’ power to regulate videos is still limited. “It is ultimately the responsibility of the social media platforms to filter out content that is potentially harmful.” She also noticed that the age of social media users has become increasingly younger. Society should pay attention to this, she said. “Since it’s not possible to cut off access to social media for younger users, why not introduce a ‘supervision mode’ with which parents can regulate the content to be viewed by teenagers beforehand ” she said.
Wu Chengyu, 18, studies at Tianjin Experimental High School. He said that several years ago he came across a game that lures teenagers to self-abuse and depression. He quickly chose to ignore it so he wouldn’t be influenced. This is the same way he reacts when exposed to negative content on social media.
In Wu’s opinion, teenagers today should improve their social media literacy (素养), telling real from fake and good from bad. “Also, everyone can be a content creator on social media.” he said, “We should all strengthen our awareness of ethics”.
8. What led to Russell’s depression according to a British court
A. Her interaction with others online.
B. Negative information on social media platforms.
C. Short videos she watched on the Internet.
D. Her addiction to online posts.
9. Which of the following statements does Chan probably agree with
A. The number of younger Social media users should be limited.
B. Parents should monitor the content to be viewed by teenagers in advance.
C. A supervision mode ought to be introduced by parents.
D. It is the responsibility of the society to romanticize mental illnesses.
10. Who should be ultimately responsible for removing negative content according to Chan
A. Parents. B. Social media platforms
C. Content creators. D. Social media platforms.
11. What does Wu suggest teenagers should do
A. Use social media wisely. B. Reduce social media usage.
C. Stay away from online games. D. Learn more about social media.

The release of GPT-4, the latest language model developed by OpenAI, has raised concerns about its potential impact on the job market. In the finance industry, fears around AI disruption are particularly bitter, as many jobs involve the processing of data that could easily be done by machines.
This has raised questions about what it means for the CFA Institute, which offers chartered financial analyst qualifications to humans who pay a considerable fee to take the exams. If an AI algorithm can pass the CFA exam, it could threaten the CFA Institute’s revenue model and potentially affect several hundred thousand bank employees.
However, recent experiments have shown that GPT-4 is not yet capable of passing the CFA exam. The simulation scored only 8 out of a possible 24 points, demonstrating that faking logical thought is very different from fake reasoning through the application of rules and definitions. Humans still keep an edge in this area.
The CFA exam relies heavily on memorization and pattern matching, rather than processing the meaning of each question. This has allowed humans to continue to take the advantage at the exam compared to machines that rely on algorithms and logical deductions.
While the development of advanced AI may pose a threat to some industries, including finance, it appears that in the case of CFA accreditation, humans still have the upper hand. For now, those working in financial regulations and those responsible for setting exams in this field can breathe a small sigh of relief knowing their jobs are safe – at least for a little while longer.
In conclusion, the release of GPT-4 has sparked concerns about its potential to disrupt the job market, especially in finance. However, experiments have demonstrated that AI still has limitations, particularly in areas requiring fake reasoning through memorized answers. While this news may reassure those in the finance industry, there is no denying that AI technology continues to transform many aspects of work and life.
12. What is the CFA Institute
A. An organization that develops artificial intelligence algorithms.
B. An organization that offers financial analyst qualifications.
C. An organization that is threatened by the development of AI in finance.
D. An organization responsible for setting exams for bank employees.
13. Why are there concerns about GPT-4’s impact on the job market in finance
A. It could potentially replace humans in processing data.
B. It is capable of passing the CFA exam and taking over jobs.
C. The finance industry has been slow to adopt new technology.
D. Bank employees are actively protesting against AI adoption.
14. How do humans currently keep an upper hand over advanced AI in passing the CFA exam
A. They are better at memorization and pattern matching.
B. They have greater logical reasoning abilities.
C. They have access to more resources during the exam.
D. They have a deeper understanding of financial regulations.
15. How do recent experiments with GPT-4 affect the job market in finance
A. They demonstrate that humans’ jobs are safe for the foreseeable future.
B. They suggest that banks will soon be replacing humans with AI.
C. They prove that AI has already surpassed humans in financial analysis.
D. They have no impact on the job market.

“Surprise!” was the first thing I heard when I opened the door. My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were colorful balloons all over the house, a big poster saying “HAPPY BIRTHDAY”, and of course a cake with 12 candles. It was a wonderful feeling, I knew that I had finally turned twelve and I might possibly get the thing I wanted most.
I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box which seemed to be a birthday present. When I opened the box, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had really gotten a mobile phone! Throwing myself into their arms, I let out a cry of joy, “Thank you! I love you guys!” “You’re welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy but we didn’t only get you this because you turned twelve, but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades.” “Of course I will.” I said confidently.
As soon as I got to school the next morning I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts on the first day. It felt like I didn’t even exist in that class anymore. I wouldn’t pay much attention to the teachers because 1 was too busy on my phone. However, I didn’t get caught using it.
I am pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I failed. What was worse, my mom had to sign the test.
It was hard to show my mom the test. She was used to seeing A’s and B’s on my tests. Finally, I showed it to her, and she couldn’t believe it. She was angry but most of al, she was disappointed.

The first visit to a foreign country that I can remember was when I was about seven years old. We live about 5 miles away from the Canadian border(边界). My family and I went to Parc Safari, Quebec, a wonderful place that has animals and rides. We drove down a nice long road. My sister and I sat in the back of the car, and it was a hatchback(有仓门式后背的汽车) so we opened it up. I remember feeding the animals snacks we had bought for ourselves.
The time we went we were told there would not be monkeys because they had escaped and had not been found. I remember thinking to myself, how cool it would be to see a monkey in our backyard.
Even though the monkeys were not there it was still so much fun. When we reached the area that had camels, giraffes and other animals, I remember one of the camels reached into the car to get our snacks. However, we were a little gross out because the camels seemed to froth(吐白沫) at the mouth and we had camel slobber(口水) all over the car and us.
It was one of the best family vacations that I can remember. It was not too far from home, it was in a different country and it was with my family. I cannot remember if we went on the rides or not but seeing many animals was a great time. Now I am grown up and have a son, and I am planning to go there again. He is 7 years old and I think he is at a great age to enjoy a trip like this. I am sure it has changed a lot over the years but it will still be a great family trip.

Due to social events in recent years, the relationship between social media and teenagers mental health has been under heated discussion.
On Sept 30 a British court decided that content on social media platforms contributed to the depression of 14-year-old Molly Russell. Russell interacted with 2,100 posts related lo pessimistic, self-harm in the six months, leading up to her depression, reported the Observer website.
The correlation has also been proved by science. A study in 2019 showed that the frequent use of social media by teenagers can lead to a decrease in their mental health.
So, how can we make sure that teenagers won’t get hurt while using social media Chan, 18, from the University of Macao shared her experience. Chan said that she once came across short videos romanticizing mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. She immediately reported them to the platform.
But she said that the users’ power to regulate videos is still limited. “It is ultimately the responsibility of the social media platforms to filter out content that is potentially harmful.” She also noticed that the age of social media users has become increasingly younger. Society should pay attention to this, she said. “Since it’s not possible to cut off access to social media for younger users, why not introduce a ‘supervision mode’ with which parents can regulate the content to be viewed by teenagers beforehand ” she said.
Wu Chengyu, 18, studies at Tianjin Experimental High School. He said that several years ago he came across a game that lures teenagers to self-abuse and depression. He quickly chose to ignore it so he wouldn’t be influenced. This is the same way he reacts when exposed to negative content on social media.
In Wu’s opinion, teenagers today should improve their social media literacy (素养), telling real from fake and good from bad. “Also, everyone can be a content creator on social media.” he said, “We should all strengthen our awareness of ethics”.
8. What led to Russell’s depression according to a British court
A. Her interaction with others online.
B. Negative information on social media platforms.
C. Short videos she watched on the Internet.
D. Her addiction to online posts.
9. Which of the following statements does Chan probably agree with
A. The number of younger Social media users should be limited.
B. Parents should monitor the content to be viewed by teenagers in advance.
C. A supervision mode ought to be introduced by parents.
D. It is the responsibility of the society to romanticize mental illnesses.
10. Who should be ultimately responsible for removing negative content according to Chan
A. Parents. B. Social media platforms
C. Content creators. D. Social media platforms.
11. What does Wu suggest teenagers should do
A. Use social media wisely. B. Reduce social media usage.
C. Stay away from online games. D. Learn more about social media.

The release of GPT-4, the latest language model developed by OpenAI, has raised concerns about its potential impact on the job market. In the finance industry, fears around AI disruption are particularly bitter, as many jobs involve the processing of data that could easily be done by machines.
This has raised questions about what it means for the CFA Institute, which offers chartered financial analyst qualifications to humans who pay a considerable fee to take the exams. If an AI algorithm can pass the CFA exam, it could threaten the CFA Institute’s revenue model and potentially affect several hundred thousand bank employees.
However, recent experiments have shown that GPT-4 is not yet capable of passing the CFA exam. The simulation scored only 8 out of a possible 24 points, demonstrating that faking logical thought is very different from fake reasoning through the application of rules and definitions. Humans still keep an edge in this area.
The CFA exam relies heavily on memorization and pattern matching, rather than processing the meaning of each question. This has allowed humans to continue to take the advantage at the exam compared to machines that rely on algorithms and logical deductions.
While the development of advanced AI may pose a threat to some industries, including finance, it appears that in the case of CFA accreditation, humans still have the upper hand. For now, those working in financial regulations and those responsible for setting exams in this field can breathe a small sigh of relief knowing their jobs are safe – at least for a little while longer.
In conclusion, the release of GPT-4 has sparked concerns about its potential to disrupt the job market, especially in finance. However, experiments have demonstrated that AI still has limitations, particularly in areas requiring fake reasoning through memorized answers. While this news may reassure those in the finance industry, there is no denying that AI technology continues to transform many aspects of work and life.
12. What is the CFA Institute
A. An organization that develops artificial intelligence algorithms.
B. An organization that offers financial analyst qualifications.
C. An organization that is threatened by the development of AI in finance.
D. An organization responsible for setting exams for bank employees.
13. Why are there concerns about GPT-4’s impact on the job market in finance
A. It could potentially replace humans in processing data.
B. It is capable of passing the CFA exam and taking over jobs.
C. The finance industry has been slow to adopt new technology.
D. Bank employees are actively protesting against AI adoption.
14. How do humans currently keep an upper hand over advanced AI in passing the CFA exam
A. They are better at memorization and pattern matching.
B. They have greater logical reasoning abilities.
C. They have access to more resources during the exam.
D. They have a deeper understanding of financial regulations.
15. How do recent experiments with GPT-4 affect the job market in finance
A. They demonstrate that humans’ jobs are safe for the foreseeable future.
B. They suggest that banks will soon be replacing humans with AI.
C. They prove that AI has already surpassed humans in financial analysis.
D. They have no impact on the job market.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. A

考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：在过去的16年里，来自世界各地的100多个品牌成功参加了这一活动。根据时间状语over the past 16 years可知，此处应用现在完成时；且主语More than100 brands为复数，谓语动词也应用复数形式。故填have joined。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成篇完整的短文。
“Surprise!” was the first thing I heard when I opened the door. My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were colorful balloons all over the house, a big poster saying “HAPPY BIRTHDAY”, and of course a cake with 12 candles. It was a wonderful feeling, I knew that I had finally turned twelve and I might possibly get the thing I wanted most.
I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box which seemed to be a birthday present. When I opened the box, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had really gotten a mobile phone! Throwing myself into their arms, I let out a cry of joy, “Thank you! I love you guys!” “You’re welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy but we didn’t only get you this because you turned twelve, but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades.” “Of course I will.” I said confidently.
As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts on the first day. It felt like I didn’t even exist in that class anymore. I wouldn’t pay much attention to the teachers because 1 was too busy on my phone. However, I didn’t get caught using it.
I am pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I failed. What was worse, my mom had to sign the test.
It was hard to show my mom the test. She was used to seeing A’s and B’s on my tests. Finally, I showed it to her, and she couldn’t believe it. She was angry but most of al, she was disappointed.
注意:
1.续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头已给出。
Realizing why I failed, my parents started to dislike that I had a phone.

From that day, I had a different opinion towards phones.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Realizing why I failed, my parents started to dislike that I had a phone. They said they had noticed that I never paid attention to them. It was like I had my own little world. So they thought we didn’t communicate as much with my phone. They regretted having given me a phone, which made me ignore the family and study. Then I started to wonder if I was wrong. A week later I tried going a whole day without a phone and it didn’t go that badly. I had so much fun because I was actually spending time with my family and paying attention to them.
From that day, I had a different opinion towards phones. Phones really take you away from the rest of the world. I am not saying that phones are bad and not to use them, but you do have to spare some time to spend with your family and not get stuck with your phone all day.
