When many people are worried that there are no more heroes in modern times, two university students who lost their lives to rescue drowning children have shown that heroes still exist.
According to the Inner Mongolia Morning Post, the accident occurred on the afternoon of December 14, 2022 when three school students skating on a frozen lake in Qingcheng Park in Hohhot fell through the ice into the freezing water.
More than 20 university students who happened to be near the spot immediately went to the rescue of the children.
Two children were quickly rescued, but the third died. The child’s body was not found for three hours. Two of the rescuers, Liu Ye and Hao Longbiao, also died of cold and exhaustion.
The body of Hao who took the lead in jumping into the lake was not found until the next day.
A student who was unwilling to tell his name said he and his classmates from the local college were taking photos at the lake. When they heard the children’s cries for help, they went to the ice hole hand in hand to rescue the children. But the ice kept breaking, causing most of them to fall into the icy water.
Local residents held mourning ceremonies (祭奠仪式) at the lake.

C
Among rich countries, people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed.
In most countries and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work less. In other words they have decided to “spend” a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be greatly lower taxes in America, which increase the rewards to work. Another may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives.
Longer hours do of course increase the GDP (国内生产总值). So the United States has produced more per worker than, say, France. The United States also has more of its people at work, while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher than in France, even though productivity per hour worked is the same.
It is not clear which of the two situations is better. As we have seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life, which often get lost in interest. It is too early to explain the different trends in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance
8. From the text we know that the author ________.
A. believes that longer working hours is better
B. prefers shorter working hours to longer ones
C. says nothing certain about which pattern is better
D. thinks neither of the patterns is good
9. In the last paragraph, the underlined word “which” refers to ________.
A. family life B. situations C. other values D. trends
10. What message can we get from the text
A. The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America.
B. Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US.
C. People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer.
D. Americans are happier than Europeans.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A. Americans and Europeans B. Staying at Home
C. Work and Productivity D. Work and Happiness
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了，在富裕国家中，美国人工作时间最长，但幸福感自1975年以来没有任何进展。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段中的“It is not clear which of the two situations is better.(目前还不清楚这两种情况中哪一种更好。)”可知，作者并未确切指出哪种模式更好。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章最后一段“As we have seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life, which often get lost in interest.(正如我们所看到的，工作必须与像家庭生活等其它价值观进行比较，而 往往会在兴趣中迷失方向)”可知，关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句，这里which应指代前面的先行词other values。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be greatly lower taxes in America, which increase the rewards to work. Another may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives.(在过去的五十年里，欧洲人一直延续着这种模式，工作时间急剧下降。但在美国却没有。我们不完全知道这是为什么。其中一个原因可能是美国大大降低了税收，这增加了工作的回报。另一种可能是更令人满意的工作，或是不太令人满意的个人生活。)”可知，在美国工作时间长的原因有两个。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Among rich countries, people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed.(在富裕国家中，美国人的工作时间最长。他们的工作时间比在欧洲长得多。这种差异非常令人惊讶，因为美国的每小时工作生产率与法国、西班牙和德国相同，而且增长速度相似。)”，最后一段“But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe.(但令人失望的是，自1975年以来，美国的幸福感没有任何进步，而欧洲的幸福感却在上升。)”以及后文可知，文章讲述美国人工作时间长，国内生产总值增加，但幸福感却没有像其它国家一样增长，可知文章中心内容讲“工作和幸福的关系”，D项“工作与幸福”符合文意。故选D项。
D
Recently, more than 1,000 researchers and executives signed an open letter calling for a pause in research on artificial intelligence. The letter warns that AI may threaten jobs, spread propaganda (宣传), and even lead to the “loss of control of our civilization”.
Many of the signatories (签署者) are thoughtful and experienced AI practitioners. Their concerns should be taken seriously. On balance, though, their approach is likely to evolve into an opposition to progress.
Consider the broader worldview expressed in this document. It said, “Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and risks manageable. ” This is a formula for complete stop, as no one can ever be so confident. The history of innovation is one of trial and error, risk and reward. One reason why the US leads the world in digital technology is that it did not constrain the industry with well-meaning but doubtful regulation. Slowing AI progress, moreover, carries risks all its own. Don’t forget that this technology is likely to make the world richer, healthier, smarter and more productive for decades to come. By 2030, it might be contributing more than $15 trillion to the global economy. Advances in medicine, biology, climate science, education, manufacturing, transportation and much more are on the horizon. Any new rules must be balanced against the vast potential of these efforts.
Nor is AI research advancing into a void (空白领域). The industry already operates within legal parameters (范畴) in response to potential panies have ensured their products are safe. Trade associations are developing codes of conduct and ethical frameworks. Far from the “out-of-control race”, the AI business is constrained by law and politics and consumer sentiment.
It’s natural to worry about new technologies. But the wealth and abundance of American society is due in no small part to risks taken in the past, in a spirit of openness and optimism. The AI revolution deserves no less.
12. Why did the researchers and executives sign the open letter
A. Because the research on AI had been paused.
B. Because AI had uncontrollably destroyed human civilization.
C. Because they were worried about the potential risks of AI.
D. Because they were more experienced than others in AI field.
13. Why is the US mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To support that innovation comes from taking risks.
B. To stress that the US is very important in the digital field.
C. To draw attention to the benefits of well-meaning regulations.
D. To reveal those people’s real purpose of signing the letter.
14. What can we infer from this passage
A. AI technology consumes more money than it can earn.
B. Society will hugely benefit from AI technology in the future.
C. The AI industry is now developing without any restrictions.
D. The development of AI technology is just a solo effort.
15. What’s the writer’s attitude towards AI revolution
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。最近，1000多名研究人员和高管签署了一封公开信，呼吁暂停人工智能的研究。这封信警告说，人工智能可能会威胁到就业，传播宣传，甚至导致“对我们文明的失控”。许多签名者都是深思熟虑且经验丰富的人工智能从业者。他们的担忧应该得到认真对待。但总的来说，他们的做法很可能演变成反对进步。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The letter warns that AI may threaten jobs, spread propaganda (宣传), and even lead to the “loss of control of our civilization”.(这封信警告说，人工智能可能会威胁到就业，传播宣传，甚至导致“对我们文明的失控”)”可知，研究人员和高管们签署了这封公开信是因为他们担心人工智能的潜在风险。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The history of innovation is one of trial and error, risk and reward. One reason why the US leads the world in digital technology is that it did not constrain the industry with well-meaning but doubtful regulation.(创新的历史是一部试错、冒险和回报的历史。美国在数字技术领域领先世界的一个原因是，它没有用善意但令人怀疑的监管来限制该行业)”可推知，第3段提到了美国是为了支持创新需要承担风险的论点。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Advances in medicine, biology, climate science, education, manufacturing, transportation and much more are on the horizon. Any new rules must be balanced against the vast potential of these efforts.(医学、生物学、气候科学、教育、制造业、交通运输等领域的进步即将到来。任何新规则都必须与这些努力的巨大潜力相平衡)”可推知，未来社会将从人工智能技术中受益匪浅。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s natural to worry about new technologies. But the wealth and abundance of American society is due in no small part to risks taken in the past, in a spirit of openness and optimism. The AI revolution deserves no less.(对新技术的担忧是很自然的。但是，美国社会的财富和丰富在很大程度上要归功于过去本着开放和乐观的精神所承担的风险。人工智能革命理应如此)”可推知，作者对人工智能革命的态度是支持的。故选B。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。一场突如其来的停电让作者意识到电的宝贵，也使作者开始反思自己浪费电的行为。作者决定从自己做起，开始节约用电。
【16题详解】
上面内容提到突然停电，“我”想修但没修好，D选项“这使我一个晚上都没有电”是上面内容的结果。故选D。
17题详解】
上一句提到：平时，我都是通过看电视，浏览社交媒体来度过晚上的（My typical evening is spent watching the TV and looking through social media），下一句提到：所以，对我而言，今天晚上是一个很早的晚上（So for me it was an early night）；A选项“今天晚上，这不可能了”是停电后的结果，承上启下。故选A。
【18题详解】
上一句提到，电像自来水一样是必需的（As basic as running water），下一句提到：我一直使用电，甚至当真的没必要的时候（我也用电）（I use electricity all the time, even when it’s not really necessary）。F选项“但是，我们把电当成了理所当然的东西”符合上下文逻辑，承上启下，故选F。
【19题详解】
下一句提到：它导致了全球变暖。再结合上一段末提到的自己浪费电的情况可知，该空应指浪费电的这种现象。故C选项“我们过度使用电，这是一个大问题。”承上启下，故选C。
【20题详解】
由下一句提到的“And if everyone does the same”可知，该句应当提到需要做什么，故G选项“我知道我能削减对电的使用”符合上下文逻辑，故选G。
【点睛】七选五解题技巧：线索法。
线索法，就是在空格前后圈定线索词，然后在选项中查找该线索词的原词或反义词复现。线索词主要包括代词、名词（尤其是时间、地点、名称等专有名词）、数词、动词等。在第一小题中，上一句提到的“我只得第二天上午找电工”。很明显，当天晚上作者只能在没电的情况下过一晚上了。由此可知，D选项正确。D选项中的This代指上文提到的停电，且只能第二天找电工这个情况。

When a tornado touched down in a small town nearby, many families were left completely ruined. One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of an entirely ruined home.A young boy, seven or eight years old, stood at her side, eyes downcast. Clutching (紧握) at her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, eyes wide with confusion and fear. The article that went with the picture gave the clothing sizes of each family member. With growing interest, I noticed that their sizes closely matched ours.This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those less fortunate than themselves. I taped the picture of the young family to our refrigerator, explaining their difficulty to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and to three-year-old Meghan.
“These poor people now have nothing,” I said. “We’ll share what we have with them.”
I brought three large boxes and placed them on the living room floor, encouraging the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favourite things. Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods that they no longer needed.
Meghan walked up to Lucy, her much-loved doll, and hugged it tightly to her chest. She stopped in front of the box, gave her doll a final kiss, and then laid her gently on top of the other toys.
“Oh, honey,” I said. “You don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much.”
Meghan nodded seriously, “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy, too.”
注意：1.续写词数应为90左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
The boys had watched, open-mouthed, when their sister placed her favourite doll in the box.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The boys had watched, open-mouthed, when their sister placed her favourite doll in the box. Inspired by their sister, the boys immediately went to their rooms and came back to the living room, carrying their favourite toys and saying gently, “Mum, we also hope our favourite toys can make the boy happy.” All of a sudden, I realized that the boys had understood what little Meghan meant. I was so touched that I pulled all three of them into my arms, tears in my eyes. Then it occurred to me that I should replace the old coat I had put in the box with a new one I loved. That day, my little Meghan taught us a good lesson that the true spirit of donating is to give with our heart and love.
【解析】

When many people are worried that there are no more heroes in modern times, two university students who lost their lives to rescue drowning children have shown that heroes still exist.
According to the Inner Mongolia Morning Post, the accident occurred on the afternoon of December 14, 2022 when three school students skating on a frozen lake in Qingcheng Park in Hohhot fell through the ice into the freezing water.
More than 20 university students who happened to be near the spot immediately went to the rescue of the children.
Two children were quickly rescued, but the third died. The child’s body was not found for three hours. Two of the rescuers, Liu Ye and Hao Longbiao, also died of cold and exhaustion.
The body of Hao who took the lead in jumping into the lake was not found until the next day.
A student who was unwilling to tell his name said he and his classmates from the local college were taking photos at the lake. When they heard the children’s cries for help, they went to the ice hole hand in hand to rescue the children. But the ice kept breaking, causing most of them to fall into the icy water.
Local residents held mourning ceremonies (祭奠仪式) at the lake.
Eight of the students were seriously affected by the freezing water and were being kept in hospital for further observation, but their lives were no longer in danger.
4. When the three students fell into water, the university students were ________.
A. skating on the ice B. taking photos at the lake
C. having a picnic D. walking along the lake
5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Three students died on the same day in all.
B. Hao Longbiao’s body was found on December 14, 2022.
C. The university students didn’t think it dangerous to save the drowning children.
D. Local residents were not brave in the face of danger.
6. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A people think little of the two university students’ death
B. the ice on the lake wasn’t strong enough to skate on
C. some students regretted for what they had done
D. heroes don’t agree with the steps of modern times
7. The author wrote the passage to ________.

B. call on people to learn from the brave university students
C. tell us an accident at the lake
D. advise university students to value their lives
C
Among rich countries, people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed.
In most countries and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work less. In other words they have decided to “spend” a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be greatly lower taxes in America, which increase the rewards to work. Another may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives.
Longer hours do of course increase the GDP (国内生产总值). So the United States has produced more per worker than, say, France. The United States also has more of its people at work, while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher than in France, even though productivity per hour worked is the same.
It is not clear which of the two situations is better. As we have seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life, which often get lost in interest. It is too early to explain the different trends in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance
8. From the text we know that the author ________.
A. believes that longer working hours is better
B. prefers shorter working hours to longer ones
C. says nothing certain about which pattern is better
D. thinks neither of the patterns is good
9. In the last paragraph, the underlined word “which” refers to ________.
A. family life B. situations C. other values D. trends
10. What message can we get from the text
A. The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America.
B. Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US.
C. People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer.
D. Americans are happier than Europeans.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A. Americans and Europeans B. Staying at Home
C. Work and Productivity D. Work and Happiness
D
Recently, more than 1,000 researchers and executives signed an open letter calling for a pause in research on artificial intelligence. The letter warns that AI may threaten jobs, spread propaganda (宣传), and even lead to the “loss of control of our civilization”.
Many of the signatories (签署者) are thoughtful and experienced AI practitioners. Their concerns should be taken seriously. On balance, though, their approach is likely to evolve into an opposition to progress.
Consider the broader worldview expressed in this document. It said, “Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and risks manageable. ” This is a formula for complete stop, as no one can ever be so confident. The history of innovation is one of trial and error, risk and reward. One reason why the US leads the world in digital technology is that it did not constrain the industry with well-meaning but doubtful regulation. Slowing AI progress, moreover, carries risks all its own. Don’t forget that this technology is likely to make the world richer, healthier, smarter and more productive for decades to come. By 2030, it might be contributing more than $15 trillion to the global economy. Advances in medicine, biology, climate science, education, manufacturing, transportation and much more are on the horizon. Any new rules must be balanced against the vast potential of these efforts.
Nor is AI research advancing into a void (空白领域). The industry already operates within legal parameters (范畴) in response to potential panies have ensured their products are safe. Trade associations are developing codes of conduct and ethical frameworks. Far from the “out-of-control race”, the AI business is constrained by law and politics and consumer sentiment.
It’s natural to worry about new technologies. But the wealth and abundance of American society is due in no small part to risks taken in the past, in a spirit of openness and optimism. The AI revolution deserves no less.
12. Why did the researchers and executives sign the open letter
A. Because the research on AI had been paused.
B. Because AI had uncontrollably destroyed human civilization.
C Because they were worried about the potential risks of AI.
D. Because they were more experienced than others in AI field.
13. Why is the US mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To support that innovation comes from taking risks.
B. To stress that the US is very important in the digital field.
C. To draw attention to the benefits of well-meaning regulations.
D. To reveal those people’s real purpose of signing the letter.
14 What can we infer from this passage
A. AI technology consumes more money than it can earn.
B. Society will hugely benefit from AI technology in the future.
C. The AI industry is now developing without any restrictions.
D The development of AI technology is just a solo effort.
15. What’s the writer’s attitude towards AI revolution
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent.

57. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When a tornado touched down in a small town nearby, many families were left completely ruined. One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of an entirely ruined home.A young boy, seven or eight years old, stood at her side, eyes downcast. Clutching (紧握) at her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, eyes wide with confusion and fear. The article that went with the picture gave the clothing sizes of each family member. With growing interest, I noticed that their sizes closely matched ours.This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those less fortunate than themselves. I taped the picture of the young family to our refrigerator, explaining their difficulty to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and to three-year-old Meghan.
“These poor people now have nothing,” I said. “We’ll share what we have with them.”
I brought three large boxes and placed them on the living room floor, encouraging the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favourite things. Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods that they no longer needed.
Meghan walked up to Lucy, her much-loved doll, and hugged it tightly to her chest. She stopped in front of the box, gave her doll a final kiss, and then laid her gently on top of the other toys.
“Oh, honey,” I said. “You don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much.”
Meghan nodded seriously, “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy, too.”

The boys had watched, open-mouthed, when their sister placed her favourite doll in the box.
