Picking the right hotel for your trip is very important for tourists in Athens as it’s a fairly sprawling city with a lot of different neighborhoods to choose from. To help you choose, here’s my list of the best hotels in Athens:
A Athens Center Square Hotel
In Plaka, this hotel has a minimalist design with welcoming pastel colors throughout, and most rooms have a view of the Acropolis (雅典卫城). Rooms are simple but decently sized, with flat-screen TVs, desks, mini fridges, air conditioning. The delicious buffet breakfast is complimentary and quite expansive, featuring Greek and American cuisine. There’s also free coffee and tea in the lobby all day long.
B. Athensdot
This newer property is in Psyrri, has a cool, pop-art design throughout, with large scale drawings on the walls and bright bursts of red everywhere. Rooms vary from internal rooms with no window to rooms with a balcony and views of the Acropolis. While there’s no breakfast served at the property, there’s a cute 24-hour café just a few doors down that serves food at all hours.
C. Coco-Mat Hotel
This design-forward 4-star hotel, run by the mattress company Coco-Mat, is in the heart of Kolonaki, a quiet neighborhood renowned for its upscale boutiques and art galleries. All rooms are equipped with high-quality mattresses, and you can even choose your pillow from a menu with 12 different pillow types. There’s a fantastic Greek breakfast buffet in the mornings.
D. Plaka Hotel
Comfortable and friendly, Plaka Hotel is (you guessed it) in the heart of Plaka. You’ll find the majority of ruins and tourist attractions here. This simply decorated hotel boasts the starry scenery of the Acropolis from both in-room balconies and the rooftop terrace bar/restaurant. There’s also a complimentary (and huge) buffet breakfast featuring local specialties.
1. Which one can provide a variety of pillows
A. Athens Center Square Hotel. B. Athensdot.

2. All of the mentioned hotels serve local food EXCEPT .
A. Athens Center Square Hotel B. Athensdot
C. Coco-Mat Hotel D. Plaka Hotel

It’s been three decades since The Color Purple (1985) brought Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel to life. The 1985 film earned 11 Academy Award nominations with its heart-wrenching yet inspiring story of a young Black woman getting through the hardships of rural Georgia in the early 1900s. The Color Purple 2023 film is a musical adaptation with a different vibe, though according to award-winning filmmaker Dawn Porter, it’s still “a timeless story of love, friendship and power.”
Oprah Winfrey—the film’s producer—has encouraged viewers to wear purple when seeing the movie, referring to its holiday release as a “purple Christmas.” In a video posted to her Instagram account in May, she said, “OK, y’all have seen the trailer, and I’m giving you six months to get your outfit together for opening day. All things purple. What you gonna wear Color purple.” And she’s led the way to promote the movie at press events, award shows, talk shows and early screenings.
But beyond pure marketing, purple holds a greater meaning here. According to cultural critics, it’s a symbol of power, ambition and luxury, as well as creativity, independence and peace—things the movie’s main character, Celie, does not have due to years of domestic violence. Thus, it’s very much a cultural moment when people wear purple in solidarity(团结一致) to support the movie and embrace this theme of empowerment, just like wearing pink to see Barbie (and black to see Oppenheimer, for that matter).
Thirty-three years later The Color Purple continues to attract audiences, especially Black women. It’s these themes of sisterhood, spirituality and self-discovery that make the book and its adaptations so timeless. “Shakespeare can be performed so many times and in so many forms,” Porter says. “This is a classic text that has the same power.”
4. What is the difference between the old and new film versions of The Color Purple
A. The old attracts more audience. B. Only the old is a timeless story.
C. The new is adapted freely with a vibe. D. A different art style is brought into the new.
5. Which of the statements below is wrong
A. The film’s first screening is on Christmas day. B. The film tells a story of a woman without suffering.
C. Oprah Winfrey urges people to wear purple. D. Oprah Winfrey tries every means to advertise her film.
6. Why do people wear purple to theaters
A. Because people respond to Oprah Winfrey’s post to wear purple.
B. Because people back up the film and accept its theme.
C. Because people get misled by the marketing campaign.
D. Because people always wear different colors to watch films.
7. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph
A. To explain the permanence of The Color Purple B. To stress the achievement of The Color Purple
C. To show the themes related to The Color Purple D. To appeal to people to read The Color Purple
C
Inside a fishbowl, the goldfish — a species of carp native to East Asia, bred for aesthetic delight and traditionally believed to bring good fortune — is among the easiest of pets to keep. But released into the wild, the seemingly humble goldfish, freed from glass boundaries, can grow to large proportions. They can even kill off native marine wildlife and help destroy fragile and economically valuable ecosystems.
“They can eat anything and everything,” said Christine Boston, an aquatic research biologist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Over the past several years, Ms. Boston and her colleagues have been tracking invasive goldfish in Hamilton Harbour, which is on the western tip of Lake Ontario (安大略湖), about 35 miles southwest of Toronto.
Their study, published last month in the Journal of Great Lakes Research, could help pinpoint goldfish populations for culling, said Ms. Boston, who is the lead author. “We found out where they are before they start spawning (产卵),” she said. “That’s a good opportunity to get rid of them.”
The fast-growing female goldfish, Ms. Boston noted, can also reproduce several times in one season. “They have the resources,” she added, “and they can take advantage of them.” Their football-shaped bodies can swell to a size that makes them too large a meal for predators (捕食者) — up to about 16 inches long. The feral goldfish are also destructive, uprooting and consuming plants that are home to native species.
Nicholas Mandrak, a professor of biological sciences at the University of Toronto Scarborough, studies in the “dramatically increase” of the wild population in the past two decades. Their spawning explosion, he said, resulted partly from people in densely-populated areas releasing pets in urban ponds. He added, environmental managers tend to forget the goldfish. “They just assume, ‘It’s been there for 150 years — there’s nothing we can do about it.’”
The problem is not unique to Canada. In Australia, a handful of unwanted pet goldfish and their offspring took over a river in the country’s southwest. And the discovery of football-size creatures in a lake in 2021 even led British officials to beg their citizens: “Please don’t release your pet goldfish into ponds and lakes!”
People wrongly believe that because goldfish are “small and cute” they won’t pose a problem when released into the wild, said Anthony Ricciardi, a professor of invasion ecology at McGill University in Montreal.
Goldfish, he added, are just a small part of a vast invasion of non-native species whose outcomes can be unpredictable, and in some cases, are worsened by climate change.
“Under human influence beasts are moving faster farther in greater numbers, reaching parts of the planet they could never reach before,” he said. “We’re talking about the redistribution of life on Earth.”
8. Which of the statements about the goldfish is correct
A. Their place of origin is Canada. B. They are capable of reproducing.
C. They will grow well over 16 inches. D. They only invade Lake Ontario.
9. What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 mean
A. Killing B. Controlling C. Catching D. Observing
10. All of the following statements are the reasons for the spawning explosion Except:
A. Citizens wrongly set free the fish. B. Climate change has a negative impact.
C. The environmental management is absent. D. The food increases in habitats.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Now goldfish are turning into wild monsters.
B. Now goldfish are on the way to become a global issue.
C. Now goldfish are attracting scientists to study in.
D. Now goldfish are threatening the Great Lakes.
D
Last week, I sent the same request to ChatGPT, the latest artificial-intelligence chatbot from OpenAI. “Upon the Firth of Forth, a bridge doth stand,” it began. In less than a minute, the program had created in full a rhyming Shakespearean sonnet (莎士比亚十四行诗). Tools like ChatGPT seem poised to change the world of poetry — and so much else — but poets also have a lot to teach us about artificial intelligence. If algorithms (算法) are getting good at writing poetry, it’s partially because poetry was always an algorithmic business.
Even the most rebellious (叛逆的) poets follow more rules than they might like to admit. When schoolchildren are taught to imitate the structure of sonnet, they are effectively learning to follow algorithmic constraints. Should it surprise us that computers can do so, too
But considering how ChatGPT works, its ability to follow the rules for sonnets seems a little more impressive. No one taught it these rules. It is based on a newer kind of AI known as a large language model (LLM). To put it simply, LLMs analyze large amounts of human writing and learn to predict what the next word in a string of text should be, based on context. One frequent criticism of LLMs is that they do not understand what they write; they just do a great job of guessing the next word.
When a private verse by Dickinson makes us feel like the poet speaks directly to us, we are experiencing the effects of a technology called language. Poems are made of paper and ink — or, these days, electricity and light. There is no one “inside” a Dickinson poem any more than one by ChatGPT. Of course, every Dickinson poem reflects her intention to create meaning. When ChatGPT puts words together, it does not intend anything. Some argue that writings by LLMs therefore have no meaning, only the appearance of it. If I see a cloud in the sky that looks like a giraffe, I recognize it as an accidental similarity. In the same way, this argument goes, we should regard the writings of ChatGPT as merely imitating real language, meaningless and random as cloud shapes.
When I showed my friends the sonnet by ChatGPT, they called it “soulless and barren.” Despite following all the rules for sonnets, the poem is predictable. But is the average sonnet by a human any better If we now expect computers to write not just poems but good poems, then we have set a much higher bar.
12. What is the main idea of paragraph 1 and paragraph 2
A. ChatGPT will make a difference to poetry based on algorithms.
B. There is no doubt that AI can copy the grammatical rules of poetry.
C. Poetry guidelines provide a possibility for AI’s poetry writing.
D. There is a similarity between algorithms and poetry.
13. How does ChatGPT write poems
A. ChatGPT is trained to follow the rules by LLMs.
B. ChatGPT can analyze and predict human languages.
C. ChatGPT is technologically supported by LLMs.
D. ChatGPT itself learn to follow the rules.
14 Why does the author mention Dickinson and cloud in paragraph 4
A. He talks about cloud to describe the meaninglessness of AI’s poetry.
B. He tells of Dickinson to describe the meaninglessness AI’s poetry.
C. He mentions cloud to suggest its close relationship with AI’s poetry.
D. He refers to Dickinson to suggest her close relationship with AI’s poetry.
15. Which of the following can best describe the author’s attitude towards AI poetry
A. Acceptable and favorable B. Amazed and admiring
C. Indifferent and uncaring D. Doubtful and uneasy

How to Express Love
In the complex human relationships, understanding how to show love is important for individuals. There are several tips from Dr Gary Chapman’s bestselling book The Five Love Languages.
1. Say words of affirmation(肯定)
___16___ The kind of language is about saying “I love you” in a heartfelt way, offering compliments( 赞 美 ), or providing words of encouragement. Don’t forget that there are various ways to express your admiration beyond “I love you;” you’d be surprised at the effects achieved by “You mean the world to me,” or “I am proud of you for trying your best.”
2. Do acts of service
Love isn’t just about letting honey-coated words leap from your lips; it’s about taking meaningful actions. Think of making breakfast, doing the dishes when they are tired or helping with house chores without being asked. ___17___; it’s the thoughtfulness behind these actions that matter. So, when you make their morning coffee or help them with a challenging task, you’re showing love in action.
3. Send some gifts
For some, sending gifts is a way of saying “You’re special to me.” ___18___ Those who appreciate gifts often value the thought and effort put into the gifts rather than the monetary value of the gift itself. A small, meaningful gift such as a handwritten letter, a bouquet of hand-plucked flowers or scrapbook can speak volumes about your love.
4.___19___
Quality time is about setting aside time for deep, meaningful interactions. This can be a heart-to-heart conversation, going for a long walk together or enjoying a quiet evening at home without the intrusion of phones or other distractions.___20___
By recognising and speaking these love languages, you will create deeper connections.
A. Share quality time.
B. Imagine being in a garden of compliments where words bloom like flowers.
C. Don’t assume that these gifts in question have to come with a big price tag.
D. The focus is on making every moment count and valuing their company.
E. To affirm others is a good way to begin a relationship.
F. Increase quality time.
G. It’s not merely about the tasks.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内界和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On July 8, 2017, eight members of a family in total, were enjoying an evening together at the beach in Panhandle, Florida. As the sun sank lower on the horizon, the two boys Noah 11 and Stephen 8 swam into the waves without the grown-ups noticing. Soon they realized that the ocean had pulled them into the sea. After trying and failing to swim back, they started waving and screaming for help. But the lifeguards had been off duty for the evening.
The boys had been struggling for several minutes when Jacky and Tabatha a couple from Georgia, heard them. They dived into the water and soon reached the two brothers. But after a few minutes, they were all trapped in a rip current (离岸流),a powerful one that could sweep even the strongest swimmer out to sea! By then, some teenagers had heard the cry. One of the teens rushed into the water, grabbed Jacky. and pulled him back to shore. Meanwhile, Tabatha could feel herself being pulled farther out. She was already exhausted and beginning to feel desperate as she was trying to save both boys alone.
Onshore, Jacky was terrified. A man stopped. “What’s wrong ” asked Shaun, who was heading back to his car. “My wife is drowning!" Brittany said. Shaun immediately strode (大步跨) into the water. But several minutes later, a gaping 15 feet still lay between him and Tabatha and the boys. He knew that if he continued, he’d become another victim. He turned around to seek help.
It was about that time that Roberta, the boys’ mother, returned from the bathroom and looked around for her children. She was shocked to spot them floating much farther out than they were allowed to go. She fought the waves to get to her screaming sons and the stranger who was trying to save them, but she quickly discovered it was nearly impossible to make headway in any direction. Looking around, Roberta sighed with relief to see some more people coming to help.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1
When they tried in vain to rescue the brothers and Tabatha, a risky idea came to them.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
By then, more swimmers had also noticed the group in trouble and rushed to join the human chain.

It’s been three decades since The Color Purple (1985) brought Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel to life. The 1985 film earned 11 Academy Award nominations with its heart-wrenching yet inspiring story of a young Black woman getting through the hardships of rural Georgia in the early 1900s. The Color Purple 2023 film is a musical adaptation with a different vibe, though according to award-winning filmmaker Dawn Porter, it’s still “a timeless story of love, friendship and power.”
Oprah Winfrey—the film’s producer—has encouraged viewers to wear purple when seeing the movie, referring to its holiday release as a “purple Christmas.” In a video posted to her Instagram account in May, she said, “OK, y’all have seen the trailer, and I’m giving you six months to get your outfit together for opening day. All things purple. What you gonna wear Color purple.” And she’s led the way to promote the movie at press events, award shows, talk shows and early screenings.
But beyond pure marketing, purple holds a greater meaning here. According to cultural critics, it’s a symbol of power, ambition and luxury, as well as creativity, independence and peace—things the movie’s main character, Celie, does not have due to years of domestic violence. Thus, it’s very much a cultural moment when people wear purple in solidarity(团结一致) to support the movie and embrace this theme of empowerment, just like wearing pink to see Barbie (and black to see Oppenheimer, for that matter).
Thirty-three years later, The Color Purple continues to attract audiences, especially Black women. It’s these themes of sisterhood, spirituality and self-discovery that make the book and its adaptations so timeless. “Shakespeare can be performed so many times and in so many forms,” Porter says. “This is a classic text that has the same power.”
4. What is the difference between the old and new film versions of The Color Purple
A. The old attracts more audience. B. Only the old is a timeless story.
C. The new is adapted freely with a vibe. D. A different art style is brought into the new.
5. Which of the statements below is wrong
A. The film’s first screening is on Christmas day. B. The film tells a story of a woman without suffering.
C. Oprah Winfrey urges people to wear purple. D. Oprah Winfrey tries every means to advertise her film.
6. Why do people wear purple to theaters
A. Because people respond to Oprah Winfrey’s post to wear purple.
B. Because people back up the film and accept its theme.
C. Because people get misled by the marketing campaign.
D. Because people always wear different colors to watch films.
7. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph
A. To explain the permanence of The Color Purple B. To stress the achievement of The Color Purple
C. To show the themes related to The Color Purple D. To appeal to people to read The Color Purple
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新版《紫色》这部电影的特点以及受欢迎的原因。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The Color Purple 2023 film is a musical adaptation with a different vibe, though according to award-winning filmmaker Dawn Porter, it’s still “a timeless story of love, friendship and power.”(《紫色2023》是一部有着不同氛围的音乐改编电影，尽管根据获奖电影制作人道恩·波特的说法，它仍然是“一个关于爱、友谊和力量的永恒故事”)”可知，《紫色》的新旧电影版本的不同在于一种不同的艺术风格被带入新版本中。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“According to cultural critics, it’s a symbol of power, ambition and luxury, as well as creativity, independence and peace—things the movie’s main character, Celie, does not have due to years of domestic violence.(根据文化评论家的说法，这是权力、野心和奢华的象征，也是创造力、独立和和平的象征，而电影的主角茜莉由于多年的家庭暴力而没有这些)”可知，B选项“这部电影讲述了一个没有痛苦的女人的故事”错误。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Thus, it’s very much a cultural moment when people wear purple in solidarity(团结一致) to support the movie and embrace this theme of empowerment, just like wearing pink to see Barbie (and black to see Oppenheimer, for that matter). (因此，这在很大程度上是一个文化时刻，穿紫色来声援这部电影，并拥抱这一赋权主题，就像穿粉色去看芭比娃娃（而穿黑色去看奥本海默）一样)”可知，人们穿紫色衣服去剧院是因为人们支持这部电影并接受它的主题。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Thirty-three years later, The Color Purple continues to attract audiences, especially Black women. It’s these themes of sisterhood, spirituality and self-discovery that make the book and its adaptations so timeless. “Shakespeare can be performed so many times and in so many forms,” Porter says. “This is a classic text that has the same power.”(33年后，《紫色》继续吸引着观众，尤其是黑人女性。正是这些关于姐妹情谊、精神和自我发现的主题，使这本书及其改编版如此永恒。波特说：“莎士比亚可以以多种形式多次演出。这是具有同样力量的经典文本。”)”可推知，最后一段的主要目的是为了解释《紫色》的经久不衰。故选A。
C
Inside a fishbowl, the goldfish — a species of carp native to East Asia, bred for aesthetic delight and traditionally believed to bring good fortune — is among the easiest of pets to keep. But released into the wild, the seemingly humble goldfish, freed from glass boundaries, can grow to large proportions. They can even kill off native marine wildlife and help destroy fragile and economically valuable ecosystems.
“They can eat anything and everything,” said Christine Boston, an aquatic research biologist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Over the past several years, Ms. Boston and her colleagues have been tracking invasive goldfish in Hamilton Harbour, which is on the western tip of Lake Ontario (安大略湖), about 35 miles southwest of Toronto.
Their study, published last month in the Journal of Great Lakes Research, could help pinpoint goldfish populations for culling, said Ms. Boston, who is the lead author. “We found out where they are before they start spawning (产卵),” she said. “That’s a good opportunity to get rid of them.”
The fast-growing female goldfish, Ms. Boston noted, can also reproduce several times in one season. “They have the resources,” she added, “and they can take advantage of them.” Their football-shaped bodies can swell to a size that makes them too large a meal for predators (捕食者) — up to about 16 inches long. The feral goldfish are also destructive, uprooting and consuming plants that are home to native species.
Nicholas Mandrak, a professor of biological sciences at the University of Toronto Scarborough, studies in the “dramatically increase” of the wild population in the past two decades. Their spawning explosion, he said, resulted partly from people in densely-populated areas releasing pets in urban ponds. He added, environmental managers tend to forget the goldfish. “They just assume, ‘It’s been there for 150 years — there’s nothing we can do about it.’”
The problem is not unique to Canada. In Australia, a handful of unwanted pet goldfish and their offspring took over a river in the country’s southwest. And the discovery of football-size creatures in a lake in 2021 even led British officials to beg their citizens: “Please don’t release your pet goldfish into ponds and lakes!”
People wrongly believe that because goldfish are “small and cute” they won’t pose a problem when released into the wild, said Anthony Ricciardi, a professor of invasion ecology at McGill University in Montreal.
Goldfish, he added, are just a small part of a vast invasion of non-native species whose outcomes can be unpredictable, and in some cases, are worsened by climate change.
“Under human influence, beasts are moving faster farther in greater numbers, reaching parts of the planet they could never reach before,” he said. “We’re talking about the redistribution of life on Earth.”
8. Which of the statements about the goldfish is correct
A. Their place of origin is Canada. B. They are capable of reproducing.
C. They will grow well over 16 inches. D. They only invade Lake Ontario.
9. What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 mean
A. Killing B. Controlling C. Catching D. Observing
10. All of the following statements are the reasons for the spawning explosion Except:
A. Citizens wrongly set free the fish. B. Climate change has a negative impact.
C. The environmental management is absent. D. The food increases in habitats.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Now goldfish are turning into wild monsters.
B. Now goldfish are on the way to become a global issue.
C. Now goldfish are attracting scientists to study in.
D. Now goldfish are threatening the Great Lakes.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了五大湖的生态系统因为大量的金鱼入侵遭到破坏，文章分析了金鱼激增的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The fast-growing female goldfish, Ms. Boston noted, can also reproduce several times in one season. (波士顿指出，生长迅速的雌性金鱼在一个季节里也可以繁殖好几次)”可知，关于金鱼的陈述中，B选项“它们有繁殖能力”正确。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文““We found out where they are before they start spawning(产卵),” she said. “That’s a good opportunity to get rid of them.”(“我们在它们开始产卵之前就找到了它们的位置，”她说。“这是摆脱他们的好机会。”)”可知，后文提到了在金鱼产卵之前找到它们的位置从而摆脱金鱼，所以这项研究可能有助于确定需要杀死的金鱼数量。故划线词意思是“杀死”。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Their spawning explosion, he said, resulted partly from people in densely-populated areas releasing pets in urban ponds. He added, environmental managers tend to forget the goldfish.(他说，它们的产卵量激增，部分原因是人口稠密地区的人们在城市池塘里放养宠物。他补充说，环境管理者往往会忘记金鱼)”以及倒数第二段“Goldfish, he added, are just a small part of a vast invasion of non-native species whose outcomes can be unpredictable, and in some cases, are worsened by climate change.(他补充说，金鱼只是大量外来物种入侵的一小部分，它们的结果是不可预测的，在某些情况下，气候变化会使情况恶化)”可知，栖息地的食物增加了不是产卵激增的原因。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段““They can eat anything and everything,” said Christine Boston, an aquatic research biologist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Over the past several years, Ms. Boston and her colleagues have been tracking invasive goldfish in Hamilton Harbour, which is on the western tip of Lake Ontario(安大略湖), about 35 miles southwest of Toronto.(“它们可以吃任何东西，”加拿大渔业和海洋部的水生研究生物学家克里斯汀·波士顿说。在过去的几年里，波士顿和她的同事一直在追踪汉密尔顿港的入侵金鱼。汉密尔顿港位于安大略湖的西端，位于多伦多西南约35英里处)”结合文章主要说明了五大湖的生态系统因为大量的金鱼入侵遭到破坏，文章分析了金鱼激增的原因。可知，D选项“现在金鱼正在威胁五大湖”最符合文章标题。故选D。

Last week, I sent the same request to ChatGPT, the latest artificial-intelligence chatbot from OpenAI. “Upon the Firth of Forth, a bridge doth stand,” it began. In less than a minute, the program had created in full a rhyming Shakespearean sonnet (莎士比亚十四行诗). Tools like ChatGPT seem poised to change the world of poetry — and so much else — but poets also have a lot to teach us about artificial intelligence. If algorithms (算法) are getting good at writing poetry, it’s partially because poetry was always an algorithmic business.
Even the most rebellious (叛逆的) poets follow more rules than they might like to admit. When schoolchildren are taught to imitate the structure of sonnet, they are effectively learning to follow algorithmic constraints. Should it surprise us that computers can do so, too
But considering how ChatGPT works, its ability to follow the rules for sonnets seems a little more impressive. No one taught it these rules. It is based on a newer kind of AI known as a large language model (LLM). To put it simply, LLMs analyze large amounts of human writing and learn to predict what the next word in a string of text should be, based on context. One frequent criticism of LLMs is that they do not understand what they write; they just do a great job of guessing the next word.
When a private verse by Dickinson makes us feel like the poet speaks directly to us, we are experiencing the effects of a technology called language. Poems are made of paper and ink — or, these days, electricity and light. There is no one “inside” a Dickinson poem any more than one by ChatGPT. Of course, every Dickinson poem reflects her intention to create meaning. When ChatGPT puts words together, it does not intend anything. Some argue that writings by LLMs therefore have no meaning, only the appearance of it. If I see a cloud in the sky that looks like a giraffe, I recognize it as an accidental similarity. In the same way, this argument goes, we should regard the writings of ChatGPT as merely imitating real language, meaningless and random as cloud shapes.
When I showed my friends the sonnet by ChatGPT, they called it “soulless and barren.” Despite following all the rules for sonnets, the poem is predictable. But is the average sonnet by a human any better If we now expect computers to write not just poems but good poems, then we have set a much higher bar.
12. What is the main idea of paragraph 1 and paragraph 2
A. ChatGPT will make a difference to poetry based on algorithms.
B. There is no doubt that AI can copy the grammatical rules of poetry.
C. Poetry guidelines provide a possibility for AI’s poetry writing.
D. There is a similarity between algorithms and poetry.
13. How does ChatGPT write poems
A. ChatGPT is trained to follow the rules by LLMs.
B. ChatGPT can analyze and predict human languages.
C. ChatGPT is technologically supported by LLMs.
D. ChatGPT itself learn to follow the rules.
14. Why does the author mention Dickinson and cloud in paragraph 4
A. He talks about cloud to describe the meaninglessness of AI’s poetry.
B. He tells of Dickinson to describe the meaninglessness AI’s poetry.
C. He mentions cloud to suggest its close relationship with AI’s poetry.
D. He refers to Dickinson to suggest her close relationship with AI’s poetry.
15. Which of the following can best describe the author’s attitude towards AI poetry
A. Acceptable and favorable B. Amazed and admiring
C. Indifferent and uncaring D. Doubtful and uneasy
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者从自身出发对人工智能创作诗歌这一热点问题进行探讨
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Tools like ChatGPT seem poised to change the world of poetry — and so much else — but poets also have a lot to teach us about artificial intelligence. If algorithms (算法) are getting good at writing poetry, it’s partially because poetry was always an algorithmic business.(像ChatGPT这样的工具似乎已经准备好改变诗歌世界 —— 以及其他许多领域 —— 但诗人也有很多关于人工智能的知识可以教给我们。如果算法越来越擅长写诗，部分原因是诗歌一直是一门算法生意。)”和第二段的“Even the most rebellious (叛逆的) poets follow more rules than they might like to admit. When schoolchildren are taught to imitate the structure of sonnet, they are effectively learning to follow algorithmic constraints.(即使是最叛逆的诗人也会遵循比他们愿意承认的更多的规则。当学生被教导模仿十四行诗的结构时，他们实际上是在学习遵循算法的约束。)”可知，从第一、二段来看，作者认为人工智能能够写诗部分在于诗歌本身就具有类似算法规则的诗歌规则和结构。即诗歌指南为人工智能的诗歌写作提供了可能性。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“It is based on a newer kind of AI known as a large language model (LLM).(它基于一种被称为大型语言模型(LLM)的新型人工智能。)”可得知，ChatGPT之所以能获得诗歌的规则，是得到了一个叫做大型语言模型的AI 的技术支持。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段前半部分“When a private verse by Dickinson makes us feel like the poet speaks directly to us, we are experiencing the effects of a technology called language. Poems are made of paper and ink — or, these days, electricity and light. There is no one “inside” a Dickinson poem any more than one by ChatGPT. Of course, every Dickinson poem reflects her intention to create meaning. When ChatGPT puts words together, it does not intend anything.( 当狄金森的一首私人诗让我们觉得诗人直接对我们说话时，我们正在体验一种被称为语言的技术的影响。诗是由纸和墨水构成的——或者，现在是由电和光构成的。没有人“在”狄金森的诗里，就像ChatGPT的一首诗一样。当然，狄金森的每首诗都反映了她创造意义的意图。当ChatGPT把单词放在一起时，它没有任何意图。)”可得知，作者将狄金森的诗歌和 AI 诗歌进行对比，认为两者诗歌虽然都不涉及他人，但前者诗歌有创造意义的意图，而后者没有这种意图而因此是无意义的；根据第四段后半部分“Some argue that writings by LLMs therefore have no meaning, only the appearance of it. If I see a cloud in the sky that looks like a giraffe, I recognize it as an accidental similarity. In the same way, this argument goes, we should regard the writings of ChatGPT as merely imitating real language, meaningless and random as cloud shapes.(一些人认为，LLMs的作品因此没有意义，只有表面上的意义。如果我看到天空中有一朵云看起来像长颈鹿，我就会认为这是偶然的相似。同样，这种观点认为，我们应该把ChatGPT的文字仅仅看作是对真实语言的模仿，像云的形状一样毫无意义和随机。)”可得知作者认为 AI 诗歌是去模仿真正的语言，是无意义的、任意的，就如同自己将云看作长颈鹿一样是偶然相似。因此作者通过对比手法用狄金森引出AI 诗歌的无意义，后面用类比的手法用云描述AI 诗歌的无意义，因此推断作者提到狄金森和云是为了他用来形容 AI 诗歌的无意义。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“When I showed my friends the sonnet by ChatGPT, they called it “soulless and barren.” Despite following all the rules for sonnets, the poem is predictable. But is the average sonnet by a human any better If we now expect computers to write not just poems but good poems, then we have set a much higher bar.(当我给朋友们看ChatGPT的十四行诗时，他们说这首诗“没有灵魂，贫瘠”。尽管遵循了十四行诗的所有规则，但这首诗是可以预测的。但是人类的一般十四行诗会更好吗 如果我们现在期望电脑不仅能写诗，而且能写出好诗，那么我们就设定了一个更高的标准。)”可知，作者认为 AI 诗歌尽管是没有灵魂的，贫瘠的，但是人类的诗歌也不会更好，如果我们想要更好的诗歌，我们可以设定更高的标准，因此推断作者认为AI诗歌是可接受，可欣赏的，虽称不上令人惊艳，但也算是达到人的一般水平。故选A。

How to Express Love
In the complex human relationships, understanding how to show love is important for individuals. There are several tips from Dr Gary Chapman’s bestselling book The Five Love Languages.
1. Say words of affirmation(肯定)
___16___ The kind of language is about saying “I love you” in a heartfelt way, offering compliments( 赞 美 ), or providing words of encouragement. Don’t forget that there are various ways to express your admiration beyond “I love you;” you’d be surprised at the effects achieved by “You mean the world to me,” or “I am proud of you for trying your best.”
2. Do acts of service
Love isn’t just about letting honey-coated words leap from your lips; it’s about taking meaningful actions. Think of making breakfast, doing the dishes when they are tired or helping with house chores without being asked. ___17___; it’s the thoughtfulness behind these actions that matter. So, when you make their morning coffee or help them with a challenging task, you’re showing love in action.
3. Send some gifts
For some, sending gifts is a way of saying “You’re special to me.” ___18___ Those who appreciate gifts often value the thought and effort put into the gifts rather than the monetary value of the gift itself. A small, meaningful gift such as a handwritten letter, a bouquet of hand-plucked flowers or scrapbook can speak volumes about your love.
4.___19___
Quality time is about setting aside time for deep, meaningful interactions. This can be a heart-to-heart conversation, going for a long walk together or enjoying a quiet evening at home without the intrusion of phones or other distractions.___20___
By recognising and speaking these love languages, you will create deeper connections.
A. Share quality time.
B. Imagine being in a garden of compliments where words bloom like flowers.
C. Don’t assume that these gifts in question have to come with a big price tag.
D. The focus is on making every moment count and valuing their company.

第二节(满分 25 分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内界和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On July 8, 2017, eight members of a family in total, were enjoying an evening together at the beach in Panhandle, Florida. As the sun sank lower on the horizon, the two boys Noah 11 and Stephen 8 swam into the waves without the grown-ups noticing. Soon they realized that the ocean had pulled them into the sea. After trying and failing to swim back, they started waving and screaming for help. But the lifeguards had been off duty for the evening.
The boys had been struggling for several minutes when Jacky and Tabatha, a couple from Georgia, heard them. They dived into the water and soon reached the two brothers. But after a few minutes, they were all trapped in a rip current (离岸流),a powerful one that could sweep even the strongest swimmer out to sea! By then, some teenagers had heard the cry. One of the teens rushed into the water, grabbed Jacky. and pulled him back to shore. Meanwhile, Tabatha could feel herself being pulled farther out. She was already exhausted and beginning to feel desperate as she was trying to save both boys alone.
Onshore, Jacky was terrified. A man stopped. “What’s wrong ” asked Shaun, who was heading back to his car. “My wife is drowning!" Brittany said. Shaun immediately strode (大步跨) into the water. But several minutes later, a gaping 15 feet still lay between him and Tabatha and the boys. He knew that if he continued, he’d become another victim. He turned around to seek help.
It was about that time that Roberta, the boys’ mother, returned from the bathroom and looked around for her children. She was shocked to spot them floating much farther out than they were allowed to go. She fought the waves to get to her screaming sons and the stranger who was trying to save them, but she quickly discovered it was nearly impossible to make headway in any direction. Looking around, Roberta sighed with relief to see some more people coming to help.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1
When they tried in vain to rescue the brothers and Tabatha, a risky idea came to them.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
By then, more swimmers had also noticed the group in trouble and rushed to join the human chain.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
When they tried in vain to rescue the brothers and Tabatha, a risky idea came to them. To keep themselves from losing their footing in the rip current, they began holding on to one another to form a human chain extending from the beach all the way out to the struggling boys and Tabatha. They stayed linked tightly and managed to ensure they were safe by making their feet firmly planted in the sand. However, that required more links — probably dozens of them. Shaun spotted other swimmers on the beach and shouted, “Don’t just stand there! Come and help.”
Paragraph 2:
By then, more swimmers had also noticed the group in trouble and rushed to join the human chain. One by one, link by link, total strangers walked into the waves and grasped one another by the wrists, determined that no one would die on that beach. At last, they made it and Tabatha and the two brothers were saved! “Those people on the beach are angels on earth,” said Roberta, showing her appreciation. Whether it is the first person or the last person in the chain, they are all our heroes, who helped get our family out of trouble.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写。文章主要讲述了一家八口在海边度假时，两个孩子不幸被海水卷入海中，其他人发现情况后主动救援的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“当他们尽力营救兄弟俩和Tabatha无果后，他们想到了一个冒险的方法。”可知，关键词是“冒险的”，所以可以接着写：他们手拉手形成“人链”，希望可以拉住那些受困的人，避免他们被暗流带走。但似乎人手还不够，他们朝游泳的人大喊，让他们也过来帮忙。
②由第二段首句内容“更多游泳的人看到这种情况，都跑过来帮忙。”可知，关键词是“人多力量大”，故可以接着写：他们紧紧地相互拽着，终于可以够得着受困的人。在他们的努力下，两兄弟和Tabatha都被救上了岸。他们的妈妈对所有帮助的人表示感激。
2.续写线索：组成人链——朝向落水者——设法保证安全——呼唤他人加入——落水者成功得救——表示感激
3.词汇激活
行为类
①组成人链：form a human chain/stand in a queue
②朝向：extend all the way out to/move towards
③设法：manage to do/think of any possible means
④呼唤：shout/cry/scream
⑤成功：make it/succeed in doing sth/do sth successfully
情绪类
①感谢：showing her appreciation/show her gratitude/be grateful
②决心：be determined to do/decide to do/make up one’s mind to do

[高分句型2] They stayed linked tightly and managed to ensure they were safe by making their feet firmly planted in the sand. 本复合句中使用了宾语从句，它在ensure后面省略了连接词that。
