Once upon a time, there was a small village in the center of a big forest. All the villagers were used to their robotic farm work and none of them had the imagination or the will (意愿) to try something new, except for one girl named Jo. Very few could read or write, and Jo was one of them.
One afternoon, when Jo was on one of her explorations in the forest, she came upon an abandoned cottage (废弃的小屋). Though she’d been warned to stay away from abandoned places, her curiosity got the best of her. She slid in and was amazed to find a room full of books! Jo’s excitement was huge when she realized she had found a hidden treasure.
She ran to tell the villagers everything, thinking that they would share her excitement but instead, she heard roars of laughter! Jo was confused by this reaction (反应) and a little hurt too, but she did not give up on her books.
She came to the cottage every day and got down to reading the books. For her, each page was an adventure with characters who challenged difficulties with their determination and who struggled for good. Knowing the power of stories in impressing on people the values of life, she decided to share the stories with the villagers, though she knew it would be a difficult journey. Making this her mission (使命), Jo started telling stories every day at her cottage.
In the beginning, only a few came to the readings. But word spread rapidly, causing more and more people to come, some of whom even traveled from far away to just listen to her stories. She also conducted workshops in which she taught people how to read and write. She was remembered and lived in her stories even after she was long gone.

“Hallucinate” — the Word of 2023
Cambridge Dictionary has named “hallucinate” as the word of the year for 2023 — while giving it an added new meaning relating to AI (artificial intelligence) technology.
The added Cambridge Dictionary definition (定义) reads: “When an AI hallucinates, it produces false information, which can vary (变化) from suggestions that seem perfectly believable to ones that are clearly non-sense.”
Wendalyn Nichols, Cambridge Dictionary’s publishing manager, said: “The fact that AIs can ‘hallucinate’ reminds us that humans still need to bring their critical (批判的) thinking skills to the use of these tools. AIs can draw out specific information we need from huge amounts and piece it together. That’s amazing. But they just stop there. The more original (原创的) you ask them to be, the likelier they are to go wrong.”
Actually, at their best, AIs can only be as dependable as their training information. Humans’ professional knowledge is more important than ever, to create the truthful and up-to-date information that AIs can be trained on.
AIs can hallucinate in a confident and thus more misleading manner. Their influences have been shown in real-world examples. In Google’s advertisement for its chatbot Bard, the AI tool made an error about the James Webb Space Telescope. A US law company used cases made up by AIs in court after using ChatGPT for legal research.
“The widespread use of the word ‘hallucinate’ to refer to mistakes by AIs offers us a quick look at how we’re treating them as our equals,” said Dr Henry, an AI ethicist at Cambridge University. “‘Hallucinate’ is originally a verb suggesting someone experiencing a disconnect from reality,” he continued. “It mirrors an unnoticeable change in perception (认知): the AI, not the user, is the one ‘hallucinating’”. It seems that as time progresses, psychological vocabulary will be further enlarged to describe the strange abilities of the new intelligences we’re creating.
8. What can be learned about the false information AIs produce
A. It doesn’t make any sense to us. B. We didn’t know about it until 2023.
C. It happens because of AIs’ limitation. D. We invented a new word to describe it.
9. What may be the key to training AIs
A. The information they’re offered. B. The way they’re trained in.
C. The human experts they work with. D. The thinking skills they use.
10. Why does the author mention Google’s advertisement in paragraph 5
A. To introduce a new topic. B. To prove an established fact.
C. To compare the effects AIs produce. D. To list AIs’ different applications.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The proper way to treat AIs.
B. People’s understanding of AIs.
C. Comments on the new use of “hallucinate”.
D. The change in the meaning of “hallucinate”.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You probably believe that weight loss has to be tied to countless hours at the gym or eating nothing but vegetables. Luckily, dropping a couple dress sizes doesn’t take anything that extreme. ____12____ Read on and I ensure you’ll be helped in your weight loss efforts.
Stop Eating Out. Think back to when your mother fed you. Do you remember what the dinner plates looked like Now compare that to what the “plates” look like at those chain restaurants. ____13____ There are dozens of studies about eating out and they all lead to one conclusion: if you eat out, you overeat! Take a break from eating out for the next six weeks and see how easily you can drop a dress size or even two.
____14____ You don’t have to avoid the foods that you enjoy — you just can’t eat big servings of them. An easy way to do this is to use smaller plates for your meals. ____15____ And don’t think that just because something is on your plate, you have to eat it. Different from what your mother told you, you don’t have to “clean your plate”. In fact — you shouldn’t. Eat slowly and stop when you aren’t hungry any more.
Make Better Choices. I know I just said that you can eat the foods you enjoy and still lose weight. ____16____ The key is moderation (适量). So when you shop, go to a wet market instead of a supermarket. When you’re at work, keep health snacks handy so you don’t have to turn to the company’s vending machine (自动贩卖机). Improving your choices will speed up your weight loss.
A. Lessen your intake.
B. Eat with smaller plates.
C. It’s no wonder you are putting on weight.
D. You will find that they have a lot in common.
E. But that doesn’t mean contenting yourself with candy and chips.
F. What it does take is making some small changes in your bad behaviors.
G. That way, you’re not losing the fun of eating while still exercising good judgment.

At first he was shy about ____21____ questions in Spanish. I told him I could relate to his shyness, but he needed to get over it and join in more ____22____ about his family and interests. Little by little Vincent became braver. Some classes even saw him not only ____23____ to answer questions but also share his opinions. I was beginning to view him as a ____24____ role model for the other students.
Once spring came I recommended he ____25____ the National Spanish Competition. Much to my ____26____ , he won the second prize. One of my ____27____ moments as his teacher was to call Vincent to the stage at our yearly Foreign Language Awards Night to ____28____ him for his outstanding performance.

“Hallucinate” — the Word of 2023
Cambridge Dictionary has named “hallucinate” as the word of the year for 2023 — while giving it an added new meaning relating to AI (artificial intelligence) technology.
The added Cambridge Dictionary definition (定义) reads: “When an AI hallucinates, it produces false information, which can vary (变化) from suggestions that seem perfectly believable to ones that are clearly non-sense.”
Wendalyn Nichols, Cambridge Dictionary’s publishing manager, said: “The fact that AIs can ‘hallucinate’ reminds us that humans still need to bring their critical (批判的) thinking skills to the use of these tools. AIs can draw out specific information we need from huge amounts and piece it together. That’s amazing. But they just stop there. The more original (原创的) you ask them to be, the likelier they are to go wrong.”
Actually, at their best, AIs can only be as dependable as their training information. Humans’ professional knowledge is more important than ever, to create the truthful and up-to-date information that AIs can be trained on.
AIs can hallucinate in a confident and thus more misleading manner. Their influences have been shown in real-world examples. In Google’s advertisement for its chatbot Bard, the AI tool made an error about the James Webb Space Telescope. A US law company used cases made up by AIs in court after using ChatGPT for legal research.
“The widespread use of the word ‘hallucinate’ to refer to mistakes by AIs offers us a quick look at how we’re treating them as our equals,” said Dr Henry, an AI ethicist at Cambridge University. “‘Hallucinate’ is originally a verb suggesting someone experiencing a disconnect from reality,” he continued. “It mirrors an unnoticeable change in perception (认知): the AI, not the user, is the one ‘hallucinating’”. It seems that as time progresses, psychological vocabulary will be further enlarged to describe the strange abilities of the new intelligences we’re creating.
8. What can be learned about the false information AIs produce
A. It doesn’t make any sense to us. B. We didn’t know about it until 2023.
C. It happens because of AIs’ limitation. D. We invented a new word to describe it.
9. What may be the key to training AIs
A. The information they’re offered. B. The way they’re trained in.
C. The human experts they work with. D. The thinking skills they use.
10. Why does the author mention Google’s advertisement in paragraph 5
A. To introduce a new topic. B. To prove an established fact.
C. To compare the effects AIs produce. D. To list AIs’ different applications.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The proper way to treat AIs.
B. People’s understanding of AIs.
C. Comments on the new use of “hallucinate”.
D. The change in the meaning of “hallucinate”.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了剑桥词典近日宣布 2023 年年度词汇为“hallucinate”并赋予了它与人工智能技术相关的新含义。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The added Cambridge Dictionary definition (定义) reads: “When an AI hallucinates, it produces false information, which can vary (变化) from suggestions that seem perfectly believable to ones that are clearly non-sense.”(剑桥词典新增的定义是这样的:‘当人工智能产生幻觉时,它会产生虚假信息,这些信息可能会变化,从看似完全可信的建议到明显毫无意义的建议。’)”以及第三段Wendalyn Nichols所说话中的“AIs can draw out specific information we need from huge amounts and piece it together. That’s amazing. But they just stop there. The more original (原创的) you ask them to be, the likelier they are to go wrong. (人工智能可以从大量信息中提取出我们需要的特定信息,并将其拼凑在一起。这是惊人的。但他们就止步于此。你越要求他们原创,他们出错的可能性就越大。)”可知,人工智能可以从大量信息中提取出我们需要的特定信息并将其拼凑在一起,但是也仅限于此,当你越要求他们原创,他们出错的可能性就越大。由此可知,人工智能产生幻觉时会产生虚假信息,这是由于人工智能的局限性所导致的。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Actually, at their best, AIs can only be as dependable as their training information. Humans’ professional knowledge is more important than ever, to create the truthful and up-to-date information that AIs can be trained on.(实际上,在最好的情况下,人工智能只能和它们的训练信息一样可靠。人类的专业知识比以往任何时候都更重要,因为它可以为人工智能提供真实和最新的信息。)”可知,人工智能的可靠性取决于训练信息,而人类的专业知识比以往任何时候都更重要,因为它可以为人工智能提供真实和最新的信息;由此可知,培训人工智能的关键是人类运用专业知识提供给它们真实和最新的信息,这可以提高人工智能的可靠性。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。文章第五段“AIs can hallucinate in a confident and thus more misleading manner. Their influences have been shown in real-world examples. In Google’s advertisement for its chatbot Bard, the AI tool made an error about the James Webb Space Telescope. A US law company used cases made up by AIs in court after using ChatGPT for legal research.(人工智能可以自信地产生幻觉,从而更容易误导人。它们的影响已经在现实世界的例子中得到了体现。在谷歌的聊天机器人Bard的广告中,这个人工智能工具在詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜的问题上犯了一个错误。一家美国律师公司在使用ChatGPT进行法律研究后,在法庭上使用了人工智能编造的案例。)”指出,人工智能可以自信地产生幻觉,从而更容易误导人,作者运用谷歌的聊天机器人Bard的广告中Bard犯了错误以及一家美国律师公司在法庭上使用ChatGPT编造的案例,来证明证明一个既定的事实:人工智能可以自信地产生幻觉更容易误导人,这在现实世界得到了体现;故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。最后一段““The widespread use of the word ‘hallucinate’ to refer to mistakes by AIs offers us a quick look at how we’re treating them as our equals,” said Dr Henry, an AI ethicist at Cambridge University. “‘Hallucinate’ is originally a verb suggesting someone experiencing a disconnect from reality,” he continued. “It mirrors an unnoticeable change in perception (认知): the AI, not the user, is the one ‘hallucinating’”. It seems that as time progresses, psychological vocabulary will be further enlarged to describe the strange abilities of the new intelligences we’re creating.(剑桥大学人工智能伦理学家亨利Henry说:“‘幻觉’这个词被广泛用于指代人工智能的错误,这让我们迅速了解到,我们是如何平等地对待它们的。”“‘Hallucinate’最初是一个动词,表示某人与现实脱节,”他继续说道。“这反映了一种难以察觉的认知变化:产生‘幻觉’的是人工智能,而不是用户。”似乎随着时间的推移,心理学词汇将进一步扩大,以描述我们正在创造的新智能的奇怪能力。)”阐述了剑桥大学人工智能伦理学家亨利Henry对于“Hallucinate”被赋予了它与人工智能技术相关的新含义的评价,他认为这反应了我们是如何平等对待人工智能以及一种认知变化;C选项“Comments on the new use of “hallucinate”.(对‘hallucinate’新用法的评论)”能够概括本段主旨。故选C。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You probably believe that weight loss has to be tied to countless hours at the gym or eating nothing but vegetables. Luckily, dropping a couple dress sizes doesn’t take anything that extreme. ____12____ Read on and I ensure you’ll be helped in your weight loss efforts.
Stop Eating Out. Think back to when your mother fed you. Do you remember what the dinner plates looked like Now compare that to what the “plates” look like at those chain restaurants. ____13____ There are dozens of studies about eating out and they all lead to one conclusion: if you eat out, you overeat! Take a break from eating out for the next six weeks and see how easily you can drop a dress size or even two.
____14____ You don’t have to avoid the foods that you enjoy — you just can’t eat big servings of them. An easy way to do this is to use smaller plates for your meals. ____15____ And don’t think that just because something is on your plate, you have to eat it. Different from what your mother told you, you don’t have to “clean your plate”. In fact — you shouldn’t. Eat slowly and stop when you aren’t hungry any more.
Make Better Choices. I know I just said that you can eat the foods you enjoy and still lose weight. ____16____ The key is moderation (适量). So when you shop, go to a wet market instead of a supermarket. When you’re at work, keep health snacks handy so you don’t have to turn to the company’s vending machine (自动贩卖机). Improving your choices will speed up your weight loss.
A. Lessen your intake.
B. Eat with smaller plates.
C. It’s no wonder you are putting on weight.

【12题详解】
上文“Luckily, dropping a couple dress sizes doesn’t take anything that extreme.(幸运的是,减小几个裙子尺寸并没有那么极端)”提到了减肥没那么极端,可知本句是在说明减肥的正确方法。故F选项“真正需要做的是在你的坏习惯上做一些小的改变”符合语境,故选F。
【13题详解】

Do you remember what the dinner plates looked like Now compare that to what the “ plates” look like at those chain restaurants.(停止外出就餐。回想一下你妈妈给你提供食物时候。你还记得餐盘是什么样子吗?现在把它和那些连锁餐馆里的“盘子”相比较)”以及后文“There are dozens of studies about eating out and they all lead to one conclusion: if you eat out, you overeat! Take a break from eating out for the next six weeks and see how easily you can drop a dress size or even two.(有很多关于外出就餐的研究,它们都得出了一个结论:如果你外出就餐,你会吃得过多!在接下来的六个星期里,休息一下,不要出去吃饭,看看你是如何轻松地减掉一个甚至两个尺码的衣服)”可知,外出就餐会导致吃的更多,从而导致长胖。故C选项“难怪你长胖了”符合语境,承上启下。故选C。
【14题详解】
根据后文“You don’t have to avoid the foods that you enjoy — you just can’t eat big servings of them. An easy way to do this is to use smaller plates for your meals.(你不需要避开你喜欢的食物——你只是不能吃很多。一个简单的方法就是用小盘子吃饭)”可知,本段的建议是减少摄入量。故A选项“减少摄入量”符合语境,故选A。
【15题详解】
根据上文“An easy way to do this is to use smaller plates for your meals.(一个简单的方法就是用小盘子吃饭)”可知,本句承接上文,说明用小盘子吃饭对减肥的好处。故G选项“这样,你既不会失去吃东西的乐趣,又能保持良好的判断力”符合语境,故选G。
【16题详解】
根据上文“I know I just said that you can eat the foods you enjoy and still lose weight.(我知道我刚刚说过,你可以吃你喜欢的食物,仍然可以减肥)”以及后文“The key is moderation (适量).(关键是适度)”可知,上文提到吃喜欢的东西仍然可以减肥,后文提到了适度,故本句是在说明遵循“吃喜欢的东西仍然可以减肥”原则需要注意的问题。故E选项“但这并不意味着满足你吃糖果和薯条”符合语境,故选E。

第四部分 写作(共两节;满分35分)
第一节 英汉互译(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)
根据提示翻译下列句子。
52. It is not unusual to feel stressed when you first start high school.(英译汉)
【答案】当你刚上高中时,感到有压力 是很正常的。
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构。本句是主从复合句。主句为It is not unusual to feel stressed,其中it是形式主语,真正的主语是动词不定式,其中unusual翻译为“不正常的”与not连用表示“正常的”,动词不定式短语to feel stressed翻译为“感到有压力的”所以主句翻译为“感到有压力是很正常的”;从句为when引导的时间状语从句,其中first翻译为“第一次”,start high school翻译为“开始上高中”,所以从句翻译为“当你刚上高中时”,所以整句翻译为“当你刚上高中时,感到有压力 是很正常的”。故答案为:当你刚上高中时,感到有压力 是很正常的。
53. Those who will take part in the activity must provide their personal information.(英译汉)
【答案】那些要参加活动的人必须提供他们的个人信息。
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,who will take part in the activity是定语从句,修饰先行词those,take part in固定搭配,意为“参加”,Those who will take part in the activity翻译为“那些要参加活动的人”,“must”翻译为“必须”,“provide”为动词,翻译为“提供”,personal为形容词,翻译为“个人的”,information为名词,翻译为“信息”,故整句翻译为:那些要参加活动的人 必须提供他们的个人信息。
54. 我钦佩的是他的责任感。(强调句)(汉译英)
【答案】It is his sense of responsibility/duty that I admire./It was his sense of responsibility/duty that I admired.
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句型和时态。“钦佩”表达为动词admire,“他的责任感”表达为名词短语his sense of responsibility/duty,作动词admire的宾语;题干分析可知,此句用强调句型“It is/was +被强调部分+that…”表达,对“他的责任感(his sense of responsibility/duty)”进行强调;根据句意可知,此句既可用一般现在时表示陈述目前的状态,也可用一般过去时陈述过去的事情;故此句翻译为:It is his sense of responsibility/duty that I admire./It was his sense of responsibility/duty that I admired.
55. 1976 年7月唐山发生了一场强地震。 (strike) (汉译英)
【答案】A strong earthquake struck Tangshan in July, 1976.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语和时态。表示“一场强地震”翻译为a strong earthquake,作主语;表示“发生”此处应用动词strike,后跟Tangshan作宾语;表示“1976 年7月”翻译为in July, 1976。为一般过去时。故翻译为A strong earthquake struck Tangshan in July, 1976.
56. 不管你在哪, 你都有可能遇到麻烦。 (no matter, likely) (汉译英)
【答案】No matter where you are, you are likely to get into / meet / come across trouble(s).或No matter where you are, it’s likely that you’ll get into / meet / come across trouble(s).
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句和固定短语。表示“不管你在哪”应用no matter where,引导让步状语从句,翻译为no matter where you are;表示“可能”可用短语be likely to do sth.,为一般现在时;或用it’s likely that句型,it作形式主语,从句用一般将来时;表示“遇到麻烦”短语为get into / meet / come across trouble(s)。故翻译为No matter where you are, you are likely to get into / meet / come across trouble(s).或No matter where you are, it’s likely that you’ll get into / meet / come across trouble(s).
