If you walk around Huntington Beach, California, you may spot a woman holding five leashes (绳套) with one hand and pulling a wagon (马车) with the other. A closer look will show she has seven dogs with her—and none of them are walking on all four legs. Her name is Debbie Pearl,and all of her dogs have disabilities and use wheelchairs or prosthetic limbs (义肢).
There is no doubt Pearl is a dog lover—she trains them for movies and said she has always had “quite a few” of her own dogs at home. In 2005, she created a nonprofit called Dream Fetchers, which helps rescue dogs from the streets. As part of the organization’s mission, members of Pearl’s personal pack work as therapy(治疗)dogs.
About nine years ago,she adopted her first dog with a disability, Fast Eddie. He had a spinal injury and was left on the street. Now, he runs around using a wheelchair.
“Eddie was definitely my inspiration for adopting other disabled dogs,” Pearl said. “He was so full of life.He never let anything slow him down. I mean, he truly was unstoppable.” About once a week, she gathers up her crew and takes them to hospitals, schools or the Easter Seals—a nonprofit that helps adults with disabilities.
“I look for dogs that have been through traumatic (创伤的) events, but they have this amazing gift of forgiveness,” Pearl said. “And that’s a powerful thing for a lot of people, because they can see the courage, the resilience (韧性) that these dogs have. And all of mine have been through the worst—and they’ve come out shining.”
She says all her dogs are here because they’ve gotten a second chance at life. And for other survivors of abuse, or those with disabilities, that can be a powerful thing to see.
4. What can we know about the seven dogs
A. They walk on all their four legs.
B. They are physically challenged.
C. They are famous in many movies.
D. They are trained to help each other.
5. What does Dream Fetchers do
A. Save homeless dogs.
B. Train therapy dogs.
C. Provide leashes for dogs.
D. Offer treatment to adults.
6. What contributed to Pearl’s adopting more disabled dogs
A. Her love of dogs.
B. The needs of a nonprofit.
C. Her wish to rescue dogs.
D. Eddie’s unstoppable spirit.
7. What do Pearl’s dogs show to those receiving therapy
A. Love and help connecting each other.
B. Power and reliance seen in everyday life.
C. Strength and courage facing sufferings.
D. Approaches and wisdom dealing with trouble.
C
The problem of food borne metal contamination (污染) has taken on new urgency, thanks in part to a 2021 US Congressional Report detailing high levels of metals found in baby food pulled off grocery shelves. More recently, high levels of lead (铅) were discovered in children’s fruit puree pouches. Now, two new studies provide information on the correlation between exposure to heavy metals in food and the risk of cancers and other serious health risks.
Food crops can absorb heavy metals from contaminated soil, air, and water. As a result, traces of dangerous heavy metals — lead, arsenic (砷) and cadmium (镉) — are found in common foods from rice and cereals to nuts and vegetables. Felicia Wu, Michigan State University food scientist, is leading several investigations to gain a better understanding of the health risks of heavy metal exposure.
In the studies, Wu and her colleague, gathered data on the dietary intake of each metal from various sources such as food and water samples and existing studies and reports. There searchers analysand the data to determine the strength of the association between dietary exposure and bad health effects. Both cancer and non-cancer health effects were considered.
Lead is a poisonous metal commonly found in old paint, water pipes, and contaminated soil. Food sources of lead include root vegetables like beets. In the study, lead showed moderate (中度的) to high risk scores for causing lung, kidney, bladder, stomach, and brain cancers. It also showed moderate to high scores for non-cancer risks.
Their initial estimates suggest that every year, more than 6, 000 additional cases of bladder and lung cancers and over 7, 000 cases of skin cancers can be attributed (归因于) to the consumption of inorganic arsenic in the United States. The researchers also found that certain food products can be associated with higher cancer risk than others. These include rice, wheat, and leafy green vegetables.
8. What do the new studies focus on
A. Food safety and children’s health.
B. Food crops and metal contamination.
C. Heavy metals and its danger extent.
D. Metal contamination in food and health risks.
9. Why do heavy metals exist in food
A. Food crops need metal to grow well.
B. Heavy metals are added by producers.
C. They can help with scientific research.
D. Food crops grow up in polluted conditions.
10. How did Wu and her colleague conduct their studies
A By doing surveys online.
B. By analyzing data.
C. By performing experiments.
D. By referring to previous textbooks.
11 Which can best describe Wu’s findings
A. Dramatic. B. Alarming.
C. Confusing. D. Awesome.
D
The poster child for generative Ai software is a shocking human mimic. It represents a potential new era in research, but brings risks.
It co-wrote scientific papers-sometimes secretly. It drafted outlines for presentations, proposals and classes, churned out computer code, and served as a sounding board for research ideas. It also invented references, made up facts and repeated hate speech. Most of all, it caught people’s imaginations. ChatGPT took on whatever role its interlocutors desired—and some they didn’t.
ChatGPT’s only objective is to plausibly continue dialogues in the style of its training data. But in doing so, it and other generative artificial-intelligence(AI) programme are changing how scientists work. They have also reopened debates about the limits of AI, the nature of human intelligence and how best to adjust the interaction between the two.
For some researchers ChatGPT has become an invaluable lab assistant—helping to summarize or write manuscripts, polish applications and write codes. ChatGPT and related software can help to brainstorm ideas, enhance scientific search engines and identify research gaps in the literature, says Marinka Zitnik, who works on AI for medical research at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts.
But the technology is also dangerous. Automated conversational agents can aid cheats and plagiarists; left unchecked, they could damage the well of scientific knowledge. Undisclosed AI-made content has begun to spread through the Internet and some scientists have admitted using ChatGPT to generate articles without declaring it.
No one knows how much more there is to get from ChatGPT-like systems. Their capabilities might yet be limited by the availability of computing power or new training data. But the generative AI revolution has started. And there’s no turning back.
12. Which aspect of ChatGPT is Paragraph 2 about
A. Its potential. B. Its influence C. Its application. D. Its working theory.
13. What does the underlined word “plausibly” probably mean in Paragraph 3
A. Secretly. B. Fairly. C. Reasonably. D. Immediately
14 What is Marinka Zitnik’s attitude towards ChatGPT
A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Concerned. D. Unclear.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. More Users’ Welfare: ChatGPT B. AI Revolution; No Turning Back
C. ChatGPT: More Functions Developed D. ChatGPT and Science: for Good and Bad

How to Retain (保留) Knowledge
Retaining knowledge is important for success at school and in the workplace. While there’s no set rule for how much people will forget over a given amount of time, everyone will sometimes struggle to remember important information.___16___
Use spaced repetition. If you want to remember something, don’t repeat it over and over to yourself—this is known as massed repetition.___17___Ideally, you want to try to retrieve the information exactly at the moment when you were about to forget it. The difficulty of retrieving the information correlates to how strongly you will remember it.
Quiz yourself.___18___The process of retrieving the information from your brain seems to strengthen your mental connection to it, making it easier to remember that information over the long term.
Take notes long-hand. Even if you only use your laptop for note-taking, and stay away from distractions like e-mail or social media, typing is still less effective than hand writing your notes.___19___This is the first step towards understanding and retaining knowledge, rather than merely recording it.
___20___Teaching the knowledge you need to retain to a friend, roommate, or family member forces you to translate the information into clear, understandable language. This is an important activity in “active learning”, which has been shown to improve memory and understanding of knowledge.
A. Link your knowledge to larger concepts.
B. Explain your knowledge to someone else.
C. Instead, let some time go by before you repeat it.
D. Reflect on what aspects of the learning process have worked for you.
E. Taking a short test helps to keep information you’ve just learned in your mind.
F. Writing by hand is slower and forces you to put the teacher’s words into your own words.
G. However, it’s possible to strengthen memorization skills and ensure important knowledge is retained.

But before I could explain, she____30____out of the classroom. I hurried after her, but she kept her back to me ____31____I were her enemy.
After school. I saw Rochelle and her mother moving their hands quickly.

All of a sudden, Rochelle was coming over to me. Her anger from earlier____34____into a vulnerable (脆弱的) sadness. She whispered, “I am sorry for shouting at you.” “I understand now, Rochelle.

For as long as I can remember. I have spent every Sunday afternoon until I was a teen, around the table at Grandma’s house. As soon as Grandma and I would return from Sunday Morning Mass at St Joseph’s Parish. Grandma got started on the meatball.
Ever since I was just two years old, Grandma would always allow me, her only granddaughter at the time, to sneak a meatball before dinner was served. There was something about that snuck meatball. For some reason, it tasted so much better than the one she placed beside my macaroni, once we all sat down. My Italian Gamma had a way of keeping an eye on all of her meatballs, to make sure no one snuck a meatball but me, who she gave that special VIP sneak. How did she do it Well, she would make my “before dinner meatball” slightly bigger than the rest.
The meatball stealing games was all fun until Jeanine came along. Allow me to introduce you to my sister Jeanine, my Gramma’s second granddaughter born five years after me, just three years after I fell in love with Gramma’s yummy meatballs.
My younger sister Jeanine was quite the fussy eater. She did not care that her gramma made the world’s best meatballs, or that our mama made almost as yummy meatballs as her mother did. All Jeanine cared about was being done with dinner as fast as possible so she can go back to playing, and so she can get her evening snack, cocoa and popcorn. Jeanine knew the rules. She knew no snack unless you finish your dinner at least 90 percent. Jeanine was not giving up her favourite snack. She knew she had to develop a plan! She did indeed!

So, one day when she was given a meatball on her plate, she stole that meatball.

If you walk around Huntington Beach, California, you may spot a woman holding five leashes (绳套) with one hand and pulling a wagon (马车) with the other. A closer look will show she has seven dogs with her—and none of them are walking on all four legs. Her name is Debbie Pearl,and all of her dogs have disabilities and use wheelchairs or prosthetic limbs (义肢).
There is no doubt Pearl is a dog lover—she trains them for movies and said she has always had “quite a few” of her own dogs at home. In 2005, she created a nonprofit called Dream Fetchers, which helps rescue dogs from the streets. As part of the organization’s mission, members of Pearl’s personal pack work as therapy(治疗)dogs.
About nine years ago,she adopted her first dog with a disability, Fast Eddie. He had a spinal injury and was left on the street. Now, he runs around using a wheelchair.
“Eddie was definitely my inspiration for adopting other disabled dogs,” Pearl said. “He was so full of life.He never let anything slow him down. I mean, he truly was unstoppable.” About once a week, she gathers up her crew and takes them to hospitals, schools or the Easter Seals—a nonprofit that helps adults with disabilities.
“I look for dogs that have been through traumatic (创伤的) events, but they have this amazing gift of forgiveness,” Pearl said. “And that’s a powerful thing for a lot of people, because they can see the courage, the resilience (韧性) that these dogs have. And all of mine have been through the worst—and they’ve come out shining.”
She says all her dogs are here because they’ve gotten a second chance at life. And for other survivors of abuse, or those with disabilities, that can be a powerful thing to see.
4. What can we know about the seven dogs
A. They walk on all their four legs.
B. They are physically challenged.

D. Offer treatment to adults.
6. What contributed to Pearl’s adopting more disabled dogs
A. Her love of dogs.

C. Her wish to rescue dogs.
D. Eddie’s unstoppable spirit.
7. What do Pearl’s dogs show to those receiving therapy

The problem of food borne metal contamination (污染) has taken on new urgency, thanks in part to a 2021 US Congressional Report detailing high levels of metals found in baby food pulled off grocery shelves. More recently, high levels of lead (铅) were discovered in children’s fruit puree pouches. Now, two new studies provide information on the correlation between exposure to heavy metals in food and the risk of cancers and other serious health risks.
Food crops can absorb heavy metals from contaminated soil, air, and water. As a result, traces of dangerous heavy metals — lead, arsenic (砷) and cadmium (镉) — are found in common foods from rice and cereals to nuts and vegetables. Felicia Wu, Michigan State University food scientist, is leading several investigations to gain a better understanding of the health risks of heavy metal exposure.
In the studies, Wu and her colleague, gathered data on the dietary intake of each metal from various sources such as food and water samples and existing studies and reports. There searchers analysand the data to determine the strength of the association between dietary exposure and bad health effects. Both cancer and non-cancer health effects were considered.
Lead is a poisonous metal commonly found in old paint, water pipes, and contaminated soil. Food sources of lead include root vegetables like beets. In the study, lead showed moderate (中度的) to high risk scores for causing lung, kidney, bladder, stomach, and brain cancers. It also showed moderate to high scores for non-cancer risks.
Their initial estimates suggest that every year, more than 6, 000 additional cases of bladder and lung cancers and over 7, 000 cases of skin cancers can be attributed (归因于) to the consumption of inorganic arsenic in the United States. The researchers also found that certain food products can be associated with higher cancer risk than others. These include rice, wheat, and leafy green vegetables.
8. What do the new studies focus on
A. Food safety and children’s health.
B. Food crops and metal contamination.
C. Heavy metals and its danger extent.
D. Metal contamination in food and health risks.
9. Why do heavy metals exist in food
A. Food crops need metal to grow well.
B. Heavy metals are added by producers.
C. They can help with scientific research.
D. Food crops grow up in polluted conditions.
10. How did Wu and her colleague conduct their studies
A. By doing surveys online.
B. By analyzing data.
C. By performing experiments.
D. By referring to previous textbooks.
11. Which can best describe Wu’s findings
A. Dramatic. B. Alarming.
C. Confusing. D. Awesome.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. B
【解析】

The poster child for generative Ai software is a shocking human mimic. It represents a potential new era in research, but brings risks.
It co-wrote scientific papers-sometimes secretly. It drafted outlines for presentations, proposals and classes, churned out computer code, and served as a sounding board for research ideas. It also invented references, made up facts and repeated hate speech. Most of all, it caught people’s imaginations. ChatGPT took on whatever role its interlocutors desired—and some they didn’t.
ChatGPT’s only objective is to plausibly continue dialogues in the style of its training data. But in doing so, it and other generative artificial-intelligence(AI) programme are changing how scientists work. They have also reopened debates about the limits of AI, the nature of human intelligence and how best to adjust the interaction between the two.
For some researchers ChatGPT has become an invaluable lab assistant—helping to summarize or write manuscripts, polish applications and write codes. ChatGPT and related software can help to brainstorm ideas, enhance scientific search engines and identify research gaps in the literature, says Marinka Zitnik, who works on AI for medical research at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts.
But the technology is also dangerous. Automated conversational agents can aid cheats and plagiarists; left unchecked, they could damage the well of scientific knowledge. Undisclosed AI-made content has begun to spread through the Internet and some scientists have admitted using ChatGPT to generate articles without declaring it.
No one knows how much more there is to get from ChatGPT-like systems. Their capabilities might yet be limited by the availability of computing power or new training data. But the generative AI revolution has started. And there’s no turning back.
12. Which aspect of ChatGPT is Paragraph 2 about
A. Its potential. B. Its influence C. Its application. D. Its working theory.
13. What does the underlined word “plausibly” probably mean in Paragraph 3
A. Secretly. B. Fairly. C. Reasonably. D. Immediately
14. What is Marinka Zitnik’s attitude towards ChatGPT
A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Concerned. D. Unclear.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. More Users’ Welfare: ChatGPT B. AI Revolution; No Turning Back
C. ChatGPT: More Functions Developed D. ChatGPT and Science: for Good and Bad
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了ChatGPT对科学的有利和不利之处。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“It co-wrote scientific papers-sometimes secretly.

How to Retain (保留) Knowledge
Retaining knowledge is important for success at school and in the workplace. While there’s no set rule for how much people will forget over a given amount of time, everyone will sometimes struggle to remember important information.___16___
Use spaced repetition. If you want to remember something, don’t repeat it over and over to yourself—this is known as massed repetition.___17___Ideally, you want to try to retrieve the information exactly at the moment when you were about to forget it. The difficulty of retrieving the information correlates to how strongly you will remember it.
Quiz yourself.___18___The process of retrieving the information from your brain seems to strengthen your mental connection to it, making it easier to remember that information over the long term.
Take notes long-hand. Even if you only use your laptop for note-taking, and stay away from distractions like e-mail or social media, typing is still less effective than hand writing your notes.___19___This is the first step towards understanding and retaining knowledge, rather than merely recording it.
___20___Teaching the knowledge you need to retain to a friend, roommate, or family member forces you to translate the information into clear, understandable language. This is an important activity in “active learning”, which has been shown to improve memory and understanding of knowledge.
A. Link your knowledge to larger concepts.
B. Explain your knowledge to someone else.
C. Instead, let some time go by before you repeat it.
D. Reflect on what aspects of the learning process have worked for you.
E. Taking a short test helps to keep information you’ve just learned in your mind.
F. Writing by hand is slower and forces you to put the teacher’s words into your own words.
G. However, it’s possible to strengthen memorization skills and ensure important knowledge is retained.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. E 19. F 20. B

【17题详解】
根据上文“If you want to remember something, don’t repeat it over and over to yourself—this is known as massed repetition.(如果你想记住什么,不要一遍又一遍地对自己重复——这就是所谓的大量重复)”推知,本句应指出什么才是正确的方法。故C选项“相反,让一段时间过去,然后再重复”符合语境,故选C。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Quiz yourself.(测试你自己)”可知,本段的建议是通过测试自己来记忆知识,本句是对上文主旨句的展开说明。故E选项“做一个简短的测试可以帮助你把刚学到的知识记住”符合语境,故选E。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Even if you only use your laptop for note-taking, and stay away from distractions like e-mail or social media, typing is still less effective than hand writing your notes.(手写笔记。即使你只是用笔记本电脑做笔记,远离电子邮件或社交媒体等干扰,打字的效率仍然不如手写)”可知,本句应解释手写比打字效率高的原因。故F选项“手写比较慢,而且强迫你把老师的话变成自己的话”符合语境,故选F。
【20题详解】
根据本段内容“Teaching the knowledge you need to retain to a friend, roommate, or family member forces you to translate the information into clear, understandable language. This is an important activity in “active learning”, which has been shown to improve memory and understanding of knowledge.(把你需要记住的知识教给朋友、室友或家人,迫使你把这些信息翻译成清晰易懂的语言。这是“主动学习”中的一项重要活动,已被证明可以提高记忆力和对知识的理解)”可知,本段建议通过给别人解释自己学到的知识来加强记忆。故B选项“向别人解释你的知识”可以作为主旨句,总领全段。故选B。

考查冠词。句意:“人们称我们为‘古籍医生’,”湖北省武汉图书馆的古籍修复师杨明丽说。分析句子可知,此处介绍Yang Mingli的身份,空处表示泛指,意为“一个,一位”,应用不定冠词,且ancient的发音以元音音素开头,应用an。故填an。
【39题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:“我真的很喜欢这个名字,我们最年轻的‘病人’至少100岁了。”结合杨明丽是古籍修复师,以及“at least 100 years old”可推知,此处指“最年轻的”古籍的岁数,空处应用形容词young的最高级形式,作定语,修饰patient。故填youngest。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:杨明丽一开始在图书馆从事读者服务和古籍数据录入工作。分析句子可知,句子主干成分完整,空处作句子的状语,非谓语动词work“工作”和主语Yang逻辑上是主动关系,应用work的现在分词形式。故填working。

【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:这本书的碎片大小不一,最小的只有几毫米长。根据“with the smallest being only a few millimetre”和“length”可推知,此处用固定短语in length表示“长度为”。故填in。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:受损古籍的主要病因是老化、酸性、火等因素,这些因素可能导致易破页、纸张变质、发黄。分析句子可知,空处作illness的后置定语,是非谓语动词,see“看见”和illness逻辑上是被动关系,应用see的过去分词形式。故填seen。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:受损古籍的主要病因是老化、酸性、火等因素,这些因素可能导致易破页、纸张变质、发黄。分析句子可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词aging, acidity (酸性), fire, and other factors指物,关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which作引导词。故填which。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
For as long as I can remember. I have spent every Sunday afternoon until I was a teen, around the table at Grandma’s house. As soon as Grandma and I would return from Sunday Morning Mass at St Joseph’s Parish. Grandma got started on the meatball.
Ever since I was just two years old, Grandma would always allow me, her only granddaughter at the time, to sneak a meatball before dinner was served. There was something about that snuck meatball. For some reason, it tasted so much better than the one she placed beside my macaroni, once we all sat down. My Italian Gamma had a way of keeping an eye on all of her meatballs, to make sure no one snuck a meatball but me, who she gave that special VIP sneak. How did she do it Well, she would make my “before dinner meatball” slightly bigger than the rest.
The meatball stealing games was all fun until Jeanine came along. Allow me to introduce you to my sister Jeanine, my Gramma’s second granddaughter born five years after me, just three years after I fell in love with Gramma’s yummy meatballs.
My younger sister Jeanine was quite the fussy eater. She did not care that her gramma made the world’s best meatballs, or that our mama made almost as yummy meatballs as her mother did. All Jeanine cared about was being done with dinner as fast as possible so she can go back to playing, and so she can get her evening snack, cocoa and popcorn. Jeanine knew the rules. She knew no snack unless you finish your dinner at least 90 percent. Jeanine was not giving up her favourite snack. She knew she had to develop a plan! She did indeed!

【答案】One possible version:
So, one day when she was given a meatball on her plate, she stole that meatball. She stole it right off her dinner plate. However, rather than making its way to her eight-year-old mouth, it found its way in her bedroom closet! Yes, you heard me right! My little sister hid that meatball and put it in her bedroom closet, so she can pass herself off as finishing her dinner and can be free to go play, and then afterwards be rewarded hot cocoa and popcorn later that evening for finishing her dinner.
One day my mother noticed that something smelt funny in our closet. My curious mother followed her nose to the back of our clothes closet. Sure enough, there were about 4 weeks of our family dinner meatballs hidden behind all of our summer jelly shoes! Seeing these, Mum immediately understood her trick. What was the cost of making Mum angry No snacks for a week. However, I would say nothing was going to stand in the way of Jeanine and her favourite snack! Who knew if she had another plan.
