As the U. K. and nations across the world mourn (哀悼) the death of Queen Elizabeth II, several aspects of the queen’s 70-year reign have been resurfacing over the past few days. From her personal life to her colonial legacy to her beloved dog — many are attracted by the life of the monarch (君主) . According to some experts, part of people’s attention towards the Royal Family not only comes from their respect for the queen but also from the trend of celebrity worshipping (名人崇拜) .
The idea of the British Royal Family taps into a collective desire for something that seems extraordinary, as opposed to the banality (平庸) of one’s own life, Cheryl Thompson, an assistant professor at the School of Performance at Toronto Metropolitan University, told Global News.
Thompson said the fairytaleish aspect of the British Royal Family is what attracts people, adding that many are attracted by their luxury weddings, seemingly perfect lives and the media attention that follows. “People have grown up hearing about fairy tales with princes and kings and queens,” she said. “So, you would imagine the castle has to be amazing compared to the two-bedroom apartment that you live in with your family … that whole idea of having servants upstairs, the luxuriousness of the dinner table — just brings all of that back into people’s imagination.”
Cele Otnes, head of the Department of Business Administration at the University of Illinois, said the Royal Family is “a complex brand” that is different from what one would normally associate with celebrities.
“They are a global brand that people love all over the world”, explained Otnes.
“They’re luxury”, she said. People far and wide are “very interested in the drama and the tension that happens in the Royal Family.”
“I think another one of the reasons the queen was so popular is that although everyone knew she was extremely wealthy, she didn’t show off her wealth.”
4 According to Thompson the fairytaleish aspect of the Royal Family lies in ________.
A. their life style B. their political performance
C. their charity image D. their social status
5. Which is not the reason why Otnes said the Royal Family is a different complex brand
A. Because they are very likely to call our attention.
B. Because they live a luxurious and admirable life.
C. Because they are keen on charity.
D. Because they are very modest with their fame and wealth.
6. What’s the passage mainly about
A. Mourning the death of the queen. B. Analyzing the popularity of the queen.
C. Showing our admiration to the queen. D. Stating the global importance of the queen.
7. How is the passage organized
A. By making comparisons. B. By giving examples.
C. By listing facts. D. By quoting experts’ ideas.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述了公众对于英国女王及王室关注的原因。
【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“The idea of the British Royal Family taps into a collective desire for something that seems extraordinary, as opposed to the banality of one’s own life, Cheryl Thompson, an assistant professor at the School of Performance at Toronto Metropolitan University, told Global News.(多伦多城市大学表演学院助理教授谢丽尔·汤普森在接受《环球新闻》采访时表示，英国王室的想法激发了人们对非凡事物的集体渴望，它与个人生活的平庸不同)”以及第三段“Thompson said the fairytaleish aspect of the British Royal Family is what attracts people, adding that many are attracted by their lavish weddings, seemingly perfect lives and the media attention that follows.(汤普森说，英国王室童话般的一面是吸引人们的原因。她补充说，很多人是被他们奢华的婚礼、看似完美的生活以及随之而来的媒体关注所吸引)”可知，根据汤普森的说法，王室的童话般的一面在于他们的生活方式。故选A项。
2. 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段““They are a global brand that people love all over the world”, explained Otnes.(Otnes解释说：“他们是一个全球品牌，全世界的人都喜欢。”)”可知，他们得到全世界人的喜欢，所以它们很可能引起我们的注意；根据倒数第二段““They’re luxury”, she said. People far and wide are “very interested in the drama and the tension that happens in the Royal Family.”(“它们是奢侈品，”她说。世界各地的人们都“对王室内部发生的戏剧和紧张局势非常感兴趣。”)”可知，他们过着奢侈而令人仰慕的生活；根据最后一段““I think another one of the reasons the queen was so popular is that although everyone knew she was extremely wealthy, she didn’t show off her wealth.”(“我认为女王如此受欢迎的另一个原因是，尽管每个人都知道她非常富有，但她从不炫耀自己的财富。”)”可知，他们对自己的名利都很谦虚。而C项“Because they willingly donate their wealth to the charity(因为他们愿意把自己的财富捐给慈善机构)”文中并未提及，不是Otnes提到的原因。故选C项。
3. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“From her personal life to her colonial legacy to her beloved dog — many are attracted by the life of the monarch. According to some experts, part of people’s attention towards the Royal Family not only comes from their respect for the queen but also from the trend of celebrity worshipping.(从她的个人生活到她的殖民遗产，再到她心爱的狗——许多人都被这位君主的生活所吸引。据一些专家称，人们对王室的关注不仅来自于对女王的尊重，也来自于名人崇拜的趋势)”以及第二段“The idea of the British Royal Family taps into a collective desire for something that seems extraordinary, as opposed to the banality of one’s own life, Cheryl Thompson, an assistant professor at the School of Performance at Toronto Metropolitan University, told Global News.(多伦多城市大学表演学院助理教授谢丽尔·汤普森在接受《环球新闻》采访时表示，英国王室的想法激发了人们对非凡事物的集体渴望，它与个人生活的平庸不同)”和第四段“Cele Otnes, head of the Department of Business Administration at the University of Illinois, said the Royal Family is “a complex brand” that is different from what one would normally associate with celebrities.(伊利诺斯大学工商管理系主任Cele Otnes表示，王室是一个“复杂的品牌”，与人们通常认为的名人形象不同)”可知，本文主要是分析公众为什么关注英国女王及王室。故选B项。
4. 推理判断题。根据第二段“The idea of the British Royal Family taps into a collective desire for something that seems extraordinary, as opposed to the banality of one’s own life, Cheryl Thompson, an assistant professor at the School of Performance at Toronto Metropolitan University, told Global News.(多伦多城市大学表演学院助理教授谢丽尔·汤普森在接受《环球新闻》采访时表示，英国王室的想法激发了人们对非凡事物的集体渴望，它与个人生活的平庸不同)”以及第四段“Cele Otnes, head of the Department of Business Administration at the University of Illinois, said the Royal Family is “a complex brand” that is different from what one would normally associate with celebrities.(伊利诺斯大学工商管理系主任Cele Otnes表示，王室是一个“复杂的品牌”，与人们通常认为的名人形象不同)”可知，这篇文章是引用专家的观点来布局的。故选D项。
C
Soldiers and other military people wear uniforms with various other symbols to indicate their status. But in the business world everyone wears more or less similar suits, and you cannot tell at a glance who ranks higher or lower than another. So how do people in the business world show their superiority
An attempt to study this was made by two researchers using a series of silent films. They had two actors play the parts of an executive and a visitor, and switch roles each time. The scene had one man at his desk playing the part of an executive, while the other, playing the part of a visitor, knocks at the door, opens it and approaches the desk to discuss some business matter.
The audience watching the films was asked to rate the executive and the visitor in terms of status. A certain set of rules about status began to emerge from the ratings. The visitor showed the least amount of status when he stopped just inside the door to talk across the room to the seated man. He was considered to have more status when he walked halfway up to the desk, and he had the most status when he walked directly up to the desk and stood right in front of the seated executive.
Another thing that affected the status of the visitor in the eyes of the observers was the time between knocking and entering. For the seated executive, his status was also affected by the time between hearing the knock and answering. The quicker the visitor entered the room, the more status he had. The longer the executive took to answer, the more status he had.
8. The experiment designed by the two researchers aimed at finding out ________.
A. how business is conducted by all executive and a visitor
B. how businessmen indicate status
C. how to tell businessmen at a glance
D. how to tell the differences between an executive and a visitor
9. Which of the statements can best sum up the passage
A. The executive has a higher status than the visitor.
B. Military people wear uniforms but the businessmen do not
C. A study revealing a set of rules about the status of businessmen.
D. It is a good method to use a series of silent film in research.
10. Having entered the room, the closer the visitor approaches the executive, ________.
A. the less it affected his status B. the lower his status
C. the more it affected his status D. the higher his status
11. The longer the seated man was in answering the knock, ________.
A. the higher his status was B. the less it affected his status
C. the lower his status was D. the more it affected his status
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了一项关于揭示商人地位的一系列规则的研究，旨在找出商人如何表明身份。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But in the business world everyone wears more or less similar suits, and you cannot tell at a glance who ranks higher or lower than another. So how do people in the business world show their superiority ”（但在商界，每个人或多或少都穿着相似的西装，你一眼就看不出谁的排名比另一个人高或低。那么，商界的人们是如何展示自己的优越感的呢？）根据第二段“An attempt to study this was made by two researchers using a series of silent films.”（两名研究人员使用一系列无声电影试图对此进行研究。）可知，这两位研究人员设计的实验旨在找出商人如何表明身份。故选B项。

Ten years after introducing “Google Glass”, Alphabet Inc. has created a new kind of smart eyeglasses. The company says the wearable computer device can translate different languages in real time.
A working model of the yet-unnamed device was presented to the public this week during the yearly Google I/O developer conference. Google did not say when the glasses might go on sale to the public.
The first Google Glass device included a wearable camera that could film what the wearers saw. That caused widespread privacy concerns. The camera element also gave Google Glass a kind of science-fiction look. The latest device looks more similar to traditional glasses.
A brief demonstration of the new eyeglasses described its translation ability, but did not provide additional details. The company also did not say whether the new device would be equipped with a camera. A demonstration explained that a person, wearing the glasses and talking with someone who speaks a different language, can see the spoken words in their own language. The description showed translations involving English, Mandarin, Spanish and American Sign Language.
The new device is one of several products shared at the conference that are currently in development. The company says the products aim to better connect Google services with activities happening in the real world. This includes company offerings for searching and viewing maps, as well as other services using the latest developments in artificial intelligence.
Eddie Chung, a director of product management at Google, spoke to developers about the new eyeglasses. “What we’re working on is technology that enables us to break down language barriers, taking years of research in Google Translate and bringing that to glasses,” he said.
12. What’s the passage mainly about
A. A great breakthrough has been made in AI.
B. A new kind of smart eyeglasses will go on sale.
C. A new kind of smart eyeglasses is in development.
D. Different languages can be translated in real time.
13. What led to widespread privacy concerns
A. The wearable camera. B. The latest glasses device.
C. The science fiction look. D. The virtual maps.
14. What can we learn about the new device from paragraph 4
A. It won’t be equipped with a camera.
B. It has more precise translation abilities.
C. It can translate certain languages into oral English.
D. It can help certain people remove language barriers.

考查非谓语动词。句意：ChatGPT是由OpenAI训练的高级AI聊天机器人，以会话方式进行交互。这里为非谓语动词担当后置定语，被修饰词“an advanced AI chat robot”和动词“train”之间为被动关系，用过去分词形式。故填trained。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：对话格式允许ChatGPT回答后续问题、承认错误、质疑不正确的前提和拒绝不适当的请求。这里为非谓语动词担当宾语补足语，宾语“ChatGPT”和动词“answer”之间为主动关系，用动词不定式形式，构成固定短语：allow…to do…，意为“允许……去做某事”。故填to answer。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：一位资深教育专家表示，ChatGPT的到来将推动教育工作者更多地关注技术不擅长的教学科目。修饰名词“expert”，表示泛指，用不定冠词。senior首字母的发音为辅音音素。故填a。

考查固定短语。句意：他说：“未来不是科技对抗人类，而是科技与人类结合。ChatGPT促使我们更努力地思考是什么让我们成为人类。”固定短语：combine…and/with…，意为“结合……”，符合句意。故填with/and。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：然而，如今世界奖励你用你所知道的东西做的事情，我认为ChatGPT推动我们在这方面更加努力。空前“In the past, the world rewarded you for what you know.”和空后“nowadays the world rewards you for what you can do with what you know, and I think ChatGPT pushes us to work harder on this.”之间存在转折关系，用副词however；出现在句首，首字母大写。故填However。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：他说，如果学生只有智能手机那么聪明，那就意味着教育工作者做得不够。根据句意可知，空处为教育工作者“educator”，根据“are”可知，用名词复数。故填educators。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：人们应该专注于培养真正重要的人类技能，这意味着人们应该培养想象力和创造力等技能。这里为定语从句的关系词，代指主句一句话，在非限制性定语从句担当主语，用which引导。故填which。

Mum went to the kitchen, and Mano and Ali started doing their homework. But soon Ali noticed Mano deep in thought so he asked what the matter was. “Ali, I was thinking that our parents do everything for us and in return they want nothing. Isn’t it bad that we never think about them and are always concerned about our needs ” Mano replied. “Sometimes we are so busy with our lives that we don’t pay proper attention to our parents. We should listen to whatever they say properly and answer them. We must also study hard to get good grades.” Ali nodded.
The next day, all three of them, Mano, Ali and their mum, got busy preparing their surprise celebration for Father’s Day.

French toast and chicken porridge, both of which were father’s favorite dishes, were ready. Eventually, everything was settled. Ali and Mano stood beside the door, waiting for their father eagerly. Then Dad came in.
Ali and Mano cried out together, “Happy Father’s Day!” Hearing the words, so glad was Dad that his face lit up. “We have a surprise for you!” added Ali, pointing at the decorations. When he saw the dinner, his eyes widened and twinkled with excitement. He couldn’t help tasting a bit of chick soup, explaining that it was the best dish he had ever had.

As the U. K. and nations across the world mourn (哀悼) the death of Queen Elizabeth II, several aspects of the queen’s 70-year reign have been resurfacing over the past few days. From her personal life to her colonial legacy to her beloved dog — many are attracted by the life of the monarch (君主) . According to some experts, part of people’s attention towards the Royal Family not only comes from their respect for the queen but also from the trend of celebrity worshipping (名人崇拜) .
The idea of the British Royal Family taps into a collective desire for something that seems extraordinary, as opposed to the banality (平庸) of one’s own life, Cheryl Thompson, an assistant professor at the School of Performance at Toronto Metropolitan University, told Global News.
Thompson said the fairytaleish aspect of the British Royal Family is what attracts people, adding that many are attracted by their luxury weddings, seemingly perfect lives and the media attention that follows. “People have grown up hearing about fairy tales with princes and kings and queens,” she said. “So, you would imagine the castle has to be amazing compared to the two-bedroom apartment that you live in with your family … that whole idea of having servants upstairs, the luxuriousness of the dinner table — just brings all of that back into people’s imagination.”
Cele Otnes, head of the Department of Business Administration at the University of Illinois, said the Royal Family is “a complex brand” that is different from what one would normally associate with celebrities.
“They are a global brand that people love all over the world”, explained Otnes.
“They’re luxury”, she said. People far and wide are “very interested in the drama and the tension that happens in the Royal Family.”
“I think another one of the reasons the queen was so popular is that although everyone knew she was extremely wealthy, she didn’t show off her wealth.”
4. According to Thompson the fairytaleish aspect of the Royal Family lies in ________.
A. their life style B. their political performance
C. their charity image D. their social status
5. Which is not the reason why Otnes said the Royal Family is a different complex brand
A. Because they are very likely to call our attention.
B. Because they live a luxurious and admirable life.
C. Because they are keen on charity.
D. Because they are very modest with their fame and wealth.
6. What’s the passage mainly about
A. Mourning the death of the queen. B. Analyzing the popularity of the queen.
C. Showing our admiration to the queen. D. Stating the global importance of the queen.
7. How is the passage organized
A. By making comparisons. B. By giving examples.
C. By listing facts. D. By quoting experts’ ideas.
C
Soldiers and other military people wear uniforms with various other symbols to indicate their status. But in the business world everyone wears more or less similar suits, and you cannot tell at a glance who ranks higher or lower than another. So how do people in the business world show their superiority
An attempt to study this was made by two researchers using a series of silent films. They had two actors play the parts of an executive and a visitor, and switch roles each time. The scene had one man at his desk playing the part of an executive, while the other, playing the part of a visitor, knocks at the door, opens it and approaches the desk to discuss some business matter.
The audience watching the films was asked to rate the executive and the visitor in terms of status. A certain set of rules about status began to emerge from the ratings. The visitor showed the least amount of status when he stopped just inside the door to talk across the room to the seated man. He was considered to have more status when he walked halfway up to the desk, and he had the most status when he walked directly up to the desk and stood right in front of the seated executive.
Another thing that affected the status of the visitor in the eyes of the observers was the time between knocking and entering. For the seated executive, his status was also affected by the time between hearing the knock and answering. The quicker the visitor entered the room, the more status he had. The longer the executive took to answer, the more status he had.
8. The experiment designed by the two researchers aimed at finding out ________.
A. how business is conducted by all executive and a visitor
B. how businessmen indicate status
C. how to tell businessmen at a glance
D. how to tell the differences between an executive and a visitor
9. Which of the statements can best sum up the passage
A. The executive has a higher status than the visitor.
B. Military people wear uniforms but the businessmen do not
C. A study revealing a set of rules about the status of businessmen.
D. It is a good method to use a series of silent film in research.
10. Having entered the room, the closer the visitor approaches the executive, ________.
A. the less it affected his status B. the lower his status
C. the more it affected his status D. the higher his status
11. The longer the seated man was in answering the knock, ________.
A. the higher his status was B. the less it affected his status
C. the lower his status was D. the more it affected his status
D
Ten years after introducing “Google Glass”, Alphabet Inc. has created a new kind of smart eyeglasses. The company says the wearable computer device can translate different languages in real time.
A working model of the yet-unnamed device was presented to the public this week during the yearly Google I/O developer conference. Google did not say when the glasses might go on sale to the public.

“Do you have any idea how we should celebrate this day and make it memorable for Dad ” Ali asked.
“Hmm... I was thinking about it too and have some ideas.” Mano answered excitedly. “What are you kids talking about ” their mum asked, entering their room.
“Mum, we were wondering about how to celebrate Father’s Day.” Mano said.
“Oh, I am surprised you kids remembered! Well, I am thinking of cooking some favorite dishes for your father. You both should think of ways to decorate the house beautifully.”Mum said.
“That would be great!”said Mano and Ali together. Both of them got up smiling, thinking of hundreds of ways to celebrate Father’s Day. Mum went to the kitchen, and Mano and Ali started doing their homework. But soon Ali noticed Mano deep in thought so he asked what the matter was. “Ali, I was thinking that our parents do everything for us and in return they want nothing.
