A
Stories behind Masterpieces
Great paintings inspire feelings of awe and wonder centuries after they were created. Often the inspiration for a masterpiece came from something very specific: a person the artist knew, a personal experience or a well-known story.
Mona Lisa
There have been many doubts about who the woman in the Mona Lisa is, due in part to her mysterious smile. Most scholars nowadays believe the woman as Lisa del Giocondo, the wife of a wealthy silk merchant (商人). Her husband most likely made the painting to celebrate the birth of their second son.
Whistler’s Mother
James Abbott McNeill Whistler originally planned to use a model for this painting and to have her standing. The model did not show up for the appointment, so he asked his mother to stand in. Since she found standing for so long uncomfortable, he changed plans and painted her sitting. He originally titled the painting Arrangement in Grey and Black-Portrait of the Painter’s Mother, following the model used by composers to name pieces of music. But over time, people began to shorten the painting’s name, so now it is usually called Whistler’s Mother.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh was a talented artist who struggled with mental health problems throughout his short life. Arguably his most famous painting, The Starry Night describes a view from his window in an asylum(精神病院) where he stayed because of these mental health issues. Van Gogh painted 21 versions of this view. He may have been surprised to learn that The Starry Night was the one destined(注定) for fame. He wrote to his brother that he did not think this painting was one of his better works.
Portrait of Dr. Gachet
Van Gogh was eventually released from the asylum, so he needed a new place to stay. His brother connected him with Dr. Gachet, who took Van Gogh in. At first, the artist was skeptical of the doctor’s ability to help him because Dr. Gachet also struggled with mental illness. But just two days after expressing these doubts to his brother, Van Gogh wrote to his sister that he considered the doctor a true friend. Van Gogh finally painted Portrait of Dr. Gachet in honor of his friend.
These paintings resonate even with people who do not know the stories behind them, but the stories make them even more meaningful.
1. Which masterpiece is different from others in content
A. Mona Lisa B. Whistler’s Mother
C. The Starry Night D. Portrait of Dr. Gachet
2. Which one of the following statements is wrong
A. Mona Lisa was painted due to a newly-born baby.
B. James Whistler’s mother was the appointed model originally.
C. The Starry Night was not positively thought of by Van Gogh.
D. Portrait of Dr. Gachet expressed Van Gogh’s appreciation to his doctor.
3. Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from
A. How Maps Tell Stories of the World B. A short History of Famous Artists
C. A history of the World 100 Objects D. How Art Works Tell Stories
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D
【解析】

In the dead of winter, a small village in a valley found itself in extremely low temperature.
The townspeople huddled (蜷缩) in their homes, protecting themselves against the cold wind and never-ending snowfall.
In the middle of this, a young woman named Lily was snowbound in her cozy cottage, feeling like a prisoner.
Frustration began to settle in, but then Lily decided to make the best of the situation. With a determined spirit, she welcomed the idea of breaking the ice with her neighbors.
Lily began inviting people in her village to her cottage. She hoped a welcoming atmosphere would create some warmth among people. The villagers accepted her invitations, curious to see what Lily had planned.
As the guests came and went, Lily’s home became a place of laughter and joy. Lily’s enthusiasm (热情) helped to melt the icy walls that had formed between people. They shared stories and played games, putting their worries on ice for a while.
Little did they know that their gatherings would have a snowball effect. Word of the heartwarming occasions spread throughout the valley to other villages. Soon other homes became retreats from the cold, with families gathering to enjoy one another’s company.
Villagers realized that the true beauty of winter wasn’t its frosty white snow. It was the opportunity to come together and support one another. They had only scratched the surface of the friendships that awaited them.
Days turned into weeks, and Lily’s cottage was snowed under with laughter and love. People found comfort in sharing meals, stories and dreams. The cold light of day seemed less daunting (令人生畏的) when they faced it together.
The villagers learned that human connection could warm a very cold heart. And so, the valley’s villages seemed better than ever from the cold. Everyone learned that there was power in uniting. They had created a world where warmth and compassion shone through in the darkest winter nights.

On Thursday morning, Cathy Brennan sat on a sofa at the Washington sailing Marina in Alexandria preparing to start her nine-and-a-half-foot kayak (皮艇) on day 25 of the journey. The Mississippi is on her wish list. What she had prepared were simple: sleeping bag, small tent, rain jacket, change of clothes, first aid kit. Apples, granola bars, cheese sticks. When she’s thirsty, she scoops water from the rivers and pumps it through a filter (过滤器). “I always drink the river,’’ she says.
Every few days Brennan will find a hotel for the night where she can get a shower and eat a cheeseburger. She’ll check in with her husband John, who has helped her select the river and research the trips at their new Jersey home. “He’s my virtual Sherpa (牧羊人) with benefits,’’ Brennan says, laughing. But most of her time is paddling on the river or camping on its banks. She has a phone with her but hardly calls or texts anyone. Her husband and her grown children can keep track of her via the transponder (应答器) that sends them her location every 10 minutes or so.
Brennan knows that solo kayaking is not for everyone and she’s not careless. Brennan grew up on a lake and was a strong swimmer and boater from an early age. She moved around rough rapids and watches the weather carefully. Brennan is careful about where she camps and who is around her. She has packed up her equipment and headed back out on the river when she has felt unsafe.
However, she persists because she loves being on the rivers, seeing the bald eagles above, deer on the banks and a fascinating number of bugs and insects that never find their way into homes and offices. She wants others to see that, too, especially women. “Women, I think, are unreasonably afraid about being alone,” she said. “Sometimes people think kayaking alone is so dangerous. And I tell them in my imagination, that is far more dangerous than what I do.”
8. How can we describe Brennan’s kayak trip according to the passage
A. easily-achieved B. heavily-cost
C. widely-known D. simply-prepared
9. Why does Brennan regard her husband as “virtual Sherpa with benefits”
A. Her husband keeps track of her
B. Her husband accompanies her on the river
C. Her husband provides a lot of support and help
D. Her husband always contacts her with calls and texts
10 What can we infer from Brennan’s words in the last paragraph
A. It is acceptable of a woman to be afraid of being alone
B. It is hard to estimate how dangerous kayaking is
C. It is her hope that more women can enjoy the adventure of kayaking
D. Kayaking is suitable for everyone to take part in
11. Which of the following best describe Brennan
A. generous and determined B. dependent and careful
C. curious and warm-hearted D. confident and outgoing
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. B

She moved around rough rapids and watches the weather carefully. Brennan is careful about where she camps and who is around her. Brennan knows that solo kayaking is not for everyone and she’s not careless.(布伦南知道单独皮划艇并不适合所有人,而且她也并不粗心。布伦南在湖边长大,从小就是一名出色的游泳运动员和划船运动员。她绕过崎岖的急流,仔细观察天气。布伦南对自己扎营的地点以及周围的人非常小心。布伦南知道单独皮划艇并不适合所有人,而且她也并不粗心。)”可知,布伦南是可依赖和小心谨慎的人。故选B。

Holidaymakers typically rely on experienced tour guides and local companies to recommend excursions (短途旅行) to castles and spectacular waterfalls, but the world’s biggest tour operator says it will entrust (委托) the service to artificial intelligence instead. The German travel company Tui has started using Chat GPT in its app to provide holiday recommendations, in the latest sign of traditional businesses racing to harness AI.
The travel company said its new Chabot would provide “informative responses about holiday destinations and personalized recommendations for excursions, activities and attraction tickets”. The firm is also exploring using the technology in post-holiday customer communication, language translation of its content and in coding.
The future development of generative AI Chabot that can comb through huge amounts of data in seconds has led to possibility of increasing job cuts as humans become too expensive. Tui employed 61000 people at the end of last September, but it cut thousands of jobs during the coronavirus pandemic.
Tui believed that its use of generative AI would not replace humans. A spokesperson pointed to a call center in the Netherlands that it is more quickly to search using Chat GPT, cutting waiting times on phones. “Gen AI is rapidly replacing tasks but not jobs,” said Pieter Jordan, the travel group’s chief information officer, in an interview with German media. “However, humans using Gen AI will far outperform (胜过) humans without the help of Gen AI.”
The bot handled a request for the “best destinations in France”, offering Paris, Nice, Bordeaux, Lyon and the French Alps (along with three links to Tui holidays) and a question about the user’s preferred city. But then it was unable to understand the word “Paris”. It said: “I apologize for the confusion, but I am an AI travel assistant and do not have personal preferences.” Only when told “I am interested in Paris” did the app offer well-known sites, including the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame.
Sebastian Elbe, Tui Group’s chief executive, said Chat GPT would “help simplify services or make information more easily available”.
12. The underlined word “harness” can best be replaced by_________.
A. control B. design C. fight D. improve
13. Which of the following is not true concerning AI Chabot
A. They can provide personalized recommendations.
B. They are able to offer post-holiday services.
C. They can get huge amounts of data in seconds.
D. They will make the cost of human resources cheap.
14. What can we learn from Pieter Jordan’s comments in paragraph four
A. Gen AI is rapidly reducing jobs that are outdated.
B. Gen AI can far outperform human beings in difficult jobs.
C. Gen AI cannot replace humans but help them with different tasks.
D. Gen AI can lead to immediate job losses.
15. How is paragraph five developed
A. By comparing. B. By quoting.
C. By taking examples. D. By listing figures.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要介绍德国旅游公司途易已开始在其应用程序中使用Chat GPT提供旅行目的地的推荐服务。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Holidaymakers typically rely on experienced tour guides and local companies to recommend excursions (短途旅行) to castles and spectacular waterfalls, but the world’s biggest tour operator says it will entrust (委托) the service to artificial intelligence instead. The German travel company Tui has started using Chat GPT in its app to provide holiday recommendations, in the latest sign of traditional businesses racing to harness AI. (度假者通常依靠经验丰富的导游和当地公司推荐游览城堡和壮观的瀑布,但这家世界上最大的旅游运营商表示,它将把这项服务委托给人工智能。德国旅游公司途易已开始在其应用程序中使用Chat GPT提供假期推荐,这是传统企业竞相harness人工智能的最新迹象。)”可知,途易将把推荐游览城堡和壮观的瀑布这项服务委托给人工智能,所以harness的意思应该是“利用,控制”,和选项A意思一致。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The future development of generative AI Chabot that can comb through huge amounts of data in seconds has led to possibility of increasing job cuts as humans become too expensive. (未来开发的生成性人工智能Chabot可以在几秒钟内梳理大量数据,这导致了随着人类变得过于昂贵而增加裁员的可能性。)”可知,未来开发的生成性人工智能Chabot可以在几秒钟内梳理大量数,这导致了随着人类变得过于昂贵而增加裁员的可能性。所以人工智能Chabot将使人力资源成本变得昂贵,而不是低廉。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““Gen AI is rapidly replacing tasks but not jobs,” said Pieter Jordan (Pieter Jordan在接受德国媒体采访时表示:“人工智能正在迅速取代任务,而不是工作。”)”可知,Pieter Jordan表示,第二代人工智能不能取代人类的工作,而是帮助他们完成不同的任务。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“The bot handled a request for the “best destinations in France”, offering Paris, Nice, Bordeaux, Lyon and the French Alps (along with three links to Tui holidays) and a question about the user’s preferred city. But then it was unable to understand the word “Paris”. It said: “I apologize for the confusion, but I am an AI travel assistant and do not have personal preferences.” Only when told “I am interested in Paris” did the app offer well-known sites, including the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame. (该机器人处理了一个“法国最佳目的地”的请求,提供巴黎、尼斯、波尔多、里昂和法国阿尔卑斯山(以及三条通往途易假期的链接),以及一个关于用户首选城市的问题。但后来它无法理解“巴黎”这个词。它说:“我为大家的困惑道歉,但我是一名人工智能旅行助理,没有个人偏好。”只有当被告知“我对巴黎感兴趣”时,该应用程序才提供知名网站,包括卢浮宫、埃菲尔铁塔和圣母院。)”可知,这一段利用举例子的方法来说明该机器人是如何处理请求的。故选C。

Stories behind Masterpieces
Great paintings inspire feelings of awe and wonder centuries after they were created. Often the inspiration for a masterpiece came from something very specific: a person the artist knew, a personal experience or a well-known story.
Mona Lisa
There have been many doubts about who the woman in the Mona Lisa is, due in part to her mysterious smile. Most scholars nowadays believe the woman as Lisa del Giocondo, the wife of a wealthy silk merchant (商人). Her husband most likely made the painting to celebrate the birth of their second son.
Whistler’s Mother
James Abbott McNeill Whistler originally planned to use a model for this painting and to have her standing. The model did not show up for the appointment, so he asked his mother to stand in. Since she found standing for so long uncomfortable, he changed plans and painted her sitting. He originally titled the painting Arrangement in Grey and Black-Portrait of the Painter’s Mother, following the model used by composers to name pieces of music. But over time, people began to shorten the painting’s name, so now it is usually called Whistler’s Mother.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh was a talented artist who struggled with mental health problems throughout his short life. Arguably his most famous painting, The Starry Night describes a view from his window in an asylum(精神病院) where he stayed because of these mental health issues. Van Gogh painted 21 versions of this view. He may have been surprised to learn that The Starry Night was the one destined(注定) for fame. He wrote to his brother that he did not think this painting was one of his better works.
Portrait of Dr. Gachet
Van Gogh was eventually released from the asylum, so he needed a new place to stay. His brother connected him with Dr. Gachet, who took Van Gogh in. At first, the artist was skeptical of the doctor’s ability to help him because Dr. Gachet also struggled with mental illness. But just two days after expressing these doubts to his brother, Van Gogh wrote to his sister that he considered the doctor a true friend. Van Gogh finally painted Portrait of Dr. Gachet in honor of his friend.
These paintings resonate even with people who do not know the stories behind them, but the stories make them even more meaningful.

In the dead of winter, a small village in a valley found itself in extremely low temperature.
The townspeople huddled (蜷缩) in their homes, protecting themselves against the cold wind and never-ending snowfall.
In the middle of this, a young woman named Lily was snowbound in her cozy cottage, feeling like a prisoner.
Frustration began to settle in, but then Lily decided to make the best of the situation. With a determined spirit, she welcomed the idea of breaking the ice with her neighbors.
Lily began inviting people in her village to her cottage. She hoped a welcoming atmosphere would create some warmth among people. The villagers accepted her invitations, curious to see what Lily had planned.
As the guests came and went, Lily’s home became a place of laughter and joy. Lily’s enthusiasm (热情) helped to melt the icy walls that had formed between people. They shared stories and played games, putting their worries on ice for a while.
Little did they know that their gatherings would have a snowball effect. Word of the heartwarming occasions spread throughout the valley to other villages. Soon other homes became retreats from the cold, with families gathering to enjoy one another’s company.
Villagers realized that the true beauty of winter wasn’t its frosty white snow. It was the opportunity to come together and support one another. They had only scratched the surface of the friendships that awaited them.
Days turned into weeks, and Lily’s cottage was snowed under with laughter and love. People found comfort in sharing meals, stories and dreams. The cold light of day seemed less daunting (令人生畏的) when they faced it together.
The villagers learned that human connection could warm a very cold heart. And so, the valley’s villages seemed better than ever from the cold. Everyone learned that there was power in uniting. They had created a world where warmth and compassion shone through in the darkest winter nights.

On Thursday morning, Cathy Brennan sat on a sofa at the Washington sailing Marina in Alexandria preparing to start her nine-and-a-half-foot kayak (皮艇) on day 25 of the journey. The Mississippi is on her wish list. What she had prepared were simple: sleeping bag, small tent, rain jacket, change of clothes, first aid kit. Apples, granola bars, cheese sticks. When she’s thirsty, she scoops water from the rivers and pumps it through a filter (过滤器). “I always drink the river,’’ she says.
Every few days Brennan will find a hotel for the night where she can get a shower and eat a cheeseburger. She’ll check in with her husband John, who has helped her select the river and research the trips at their new Jersey home. “He’s my virtual Sherpa (牧羊人) with benefits,’’ Brennan says, laughing. But most of her time is paddling on the river or camping on its banks. She has a phone with her but hardly calls or texts anyone. Her husband and her grown children can keep track of her via the transponder (应答器) that sends them her location every 10 minutes or so.
Brennan knows that solo kayaking is not for everyone and she’s not careless. Brennan grew up on a lake and was a strong swimmer and boater from an early age. She moved around rough rapids and watches the weather carefully. Brennan is careful about where she camps and who is around her. She has packed up her equipment and headed back out on the river when she has felt unsafe.
However, she persists because she loves being on the rivers, seeing the bald eagles above, deer on the banks and a fascinating number of bugs and insects that never find their way into homes and offices. She wants others to see that, too, especially women. “Women, I think, are unreasonably afraid about being alone,” she said. “Sometimes people think kayaking alone is so dangerous. And I tell them in my imagination, that is far more dangerous than what I do.”
8. How can we describe Brennan’s kayak trip according to the passage
A. easily-achieved B. heavily-cost
C. widely-known D. simply-prepared
9. Why does Brennan regard her husband as “virtual Sherpa with benefits”
A. Her husband keeps track of her
B. Her husband accompanies her on the river
C. Her husband provides a lot of support and help
D. Her husband always contacts her with calls and texts
10. What can we infer from Brennan’s words in the last paragraph
A. It is acceptable of a woman to be afraid of being alone
B. It is hard to estimate how dangerous kayaking is
C. It is her hope that more women can enjoy the adventure of kayaking
D. Kayaking is suitable for everyone to take part in
11. Which of the following best describe Brennan
A. generous and determined B. dependent and careful
C. curious and warm-hearted D. confident and outgoing
D
Holidaymakers typically rely on experienced tour guides and local companies to recommend excursions (短途旅行) to castles and spectacular waterfalls, but the world’s biggest tour operator says it will entrust (委托) the service to artificial intelligence instead. The German travel company Tui has started using Chat GPT in its app to provide holiday recommendations, in the latest sign of traditional businesses racing to harness AI.
The travel company said its new Chabot would provide “informative responses about holiday destinations and personalized recommendations for excursions, activities and attraction tickets”. The firm is also exploring using the technology in post-holiday customer communication, language translation of its content and in coding.
The future development of generative AI Chabot that can comb through huge amounts of data in seconds has led to possibility of increasing job cuts as humans become too expensive. Tui employed 61,000 people at the end of last September, but it cut thousands of jobs during the coronavirus pandemic.
Tui believed that its use of generative AI would not replace humans. A spokesperson pointed to a call center in the Netherlands that it is more quickly to search using Chat GPT, cutting waiting times on phones. “Gen AI is rapidly replacing tasks but not jobs,” said Pieter Jordan, the travel group’s chief information officer, in an interview with German media. “However, humans using Gen AI will far outperform (胜过) humans without the help of Gen AI.”
The bot handled a request for the “best destinations in France”, offering Paris, Nice, Bordeaux, Lyon and the French Alps (along with three links to Tui holidays) and a question about the user’s preferred city. But then it was unable to understand the word “Paris”. It said: “I apologize for the confusion, but I am an AI travel assistant and do not have personal preferences.” Only when told “I am interested in Paris” did the app offer well-known sites, including the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame.
Sebastian Elbe, Tui Group’s chief executive, said Chat GPT would “help simplify services or make information more easily available”.
12. The underlined word “harness” can best be replaced by_________.
A. control B. design C. fight D. improve
13. Which of the following is not true concerning AI Chabot
A. They can provide personalized recommendations.
B. They are able to offer post-holiday services.
C. They can get huge amounts of data in seconds.
D. They will make the cost of human resources cheap.
14. What can we learn from Pieter Jordan’s comments in paragraph four
A. Gen AI is rapidly reducing jobs that are outdated.
B. Gen AI can far outperform human beings in difficult jobs.
C. Gen AI cannot replace humans but help them with different tasks.
D. Gen AI can lead to immediate job losses.
15. How is paragraph five developed
A By comparing. B. By quoting.
C. By taking examples. D. By listing figures.
