Jason Allen,a video game designer in Pueblo,Colorado,spent about 80 hours working on his entry to the Colorado State Fair’s digital arts competition.Judges awarded him first place,which came with a $300 prize.
Allen’s victory took a turn when he revealed online that he’d created his prize-winning art using Midjourney,an artificial intelligence (AI) program that can turn text descriptions into images.He says he also made that clear to state fair officials when he dropped off his submission(提交) called Théátre D’péra Spatial.
Colorado’s 150-year-old state fair is held each summer in Pueblo,a town about 185 kilometers south of Denver.The fair’s submission guide lines do not directly mention AI-generated art,but they define(定义) digital arts as “artistic practice that uses digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process.”
The competition’s two judges say they were unaware that Allen had used AI to create his piece.But even if they had known,they still would have given him first place.They said they awarded the top prize based on the story Théátre D’péra Spatial tells,as well as the spirit it inspires.
Allen created Théátre D’péra Spatial by entering various words and phrased into Midjourney,which then produced more than 900 versions for him to choose from.He selected his three favorite,then continued adjusting them in Photo shop until he was satisfied.He boosted their resolution(分辨率) using a tool called Gigapixel and printed the works.He entered all three pieces into the competition,and one of them won.
Allen said he believes the criticism of his work originate from artists’ fear that technology will one day become so advanced that they’ll be out of jobs.
In the meantime,as state fair spokesperson alga Robak says,it’s bringing out “a broader conversation about how we decide what art is,and how we judge it appropriately.”
24.What does the underlined word “that” refer to in paragraph 2
A.Taking a turn. B.Revealing the truth online.
C.Turning text descriptions into images. D.Applying an AI program to the creation.
25.Why did the two judges award Allen first place
A.He followed guide lines for AI-generated art.
B.They were unaware of the use of ad in his piece.
C.He is a pioneer of using digital technology in creation.
D.They are impressed with the ideas that his work presents.
26.What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A.How Allen created his works. B.What AI technologies Allen used.
C.Why Allen chose to employ Midjourney. D.Where the advantage of Allen’s works lay.
27.What can we learn about Allen’s victory according to the text
A.It costs artists their jobs. B.It helps enhance AI technology.
C.It ensures fairness in arts competitions. D.It generates a discussion on defining art.

The end of any life is a time to look back and reflect on the historic events it has witnessed and rarely can that be so more than in the case of Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ,whose life witnessed several significant changes of the world stage.
The 96-year-old,whose death in Scotland was announced by Buckingham Palace shortly after 6 p.m.on Thursday Sep 8th,2022,was born before the birth of talking pictures,and lived to see the era of virtual reality.She arrived in a world where her grandfather King George Ⅴ was the Emperor of India,and left it with Britain still finding its feet on the world stage.Her life also saw the conquer of space and the fight with the pandemic.

Her death marks the end of a bond which ties modern Britain to the wartime era which continues to cast a giant shadow across the modern British political landscape.Her passing is also the end of an era for the world,as of all the world’s major political leaders,only US President Joe Biden,born in 1942,shares any connection to World War Ⅱ.
She is now the past,and her successor,King Charles Ⅲ,is the future.Where Britain goes from here,in what state of mind,and how it handles the challenge of keeping a balance between dealing with its past,working out its present challenges,and embracing its future,remain to be seen.

We would all like to increase our cognitive(认知的) ability beyond the limits set by Mother Nature.So it’s no wonder that brain-training programs—which typically focus on training our working memory—are a multibillion-dollar industry.But can this kind of training really improve your intelligence
Cognitive training sees the brain as a kind of muscle that can be made stronger with the right kind of practice.It consists of tasks or games carried out on computers or smartphones.Despite much research,there has so far been no agreement about its effectiveness.Some think that cognitive training increases a broad range of cognitive abilities,while others less optimistic.
Yet we do know that some cognitive skills,such as working memory and intelligence,tend to go together and are predictors of real-life skills such as work performance.Thus,training one cognitive skill might lead to an improvement in many other cognitive and non-cognitive skills.That is exactly the underlying hypothesis(假设) on which working-memory training is based.
To test this hypothesis,we examined all the studies about working-memory training we could find with normally developing children:26 experiments and 1,601 total participants.Children represent an ideal test group:during childhood,skills are still at the beginning of their development.Thus,cognitive training is more likely to succeed with children than adults.
The results were very clear.Working-memory training did not show any effect on children’s fluid intelligence—a person’s ability to solve new problems and adapt to new situations.It didn’t influence their academic achievement or other cognitive abilities,either.The only reliable effect was that children got better at what they trained to do.Nonetheless,the fact that participants got better at working-memory tasks does not necessarily mean that their working-memory ability increased.They may just have learnt how to perform that particular type of task.
The results do indicate that the use of working-memory training programs as an educational tool is fruitless.However,the results mustn’t discourage us from training our cognitive and non-cognitive skills.We just have to be aware of the actual limitations of such practice in areas outside what we are actually training.But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it—the most efficient way to develop a skill is,after all,to train that skill.
32.What is the benefit of cognitive training according to the passage
A.It brings much profit to the training companies.
B.It makes one’s brain stronger through practice.
C.It uncovers the secrets of how human brains work.
D.It earns a good reputation for the training company.
33.How did the author find out the effects of working memory training
A.By conducting several scientific experiments.
B.By comparing test groups of different ages.
C.By reviewing the available previous researches.
D.By interviewing normally developing children.
34.Which of the following shows the effects of the experiments on children
A.They tend to gain greater academic achievements.
B.They are able to adapt to new situations more quickly.
C.They can perform better in the field they are trained in.
D.They are likely to succeed in dealing with real life problems.
35.What may be the best title for the passage
A.Will Cognitive Training Enjoy Lasting Popularity
B.Can Working-memory Training Make You Smarter
C.Why Is Working-memory Training of Little Use
D.Would You Develop a Skill Through Cognitive Training

A scientist is a person who explores and examines aspects of a certain field to better understand how they function.The process of exploration follows a strict set of rules known as the scientific method. 36
The primary duty of a scientist in any fields is to do research. 37 A scientist who specializes in microbiology could study germs,while a scientist who studies the atmosphere could research the pattern of the wind.
Apart from devoting himself to the research,a scientist can also work for employers. 38 Besides,universities and some governmental organizations also require scientists to teach and research.Some scientists are able to get research funds independently or participate in a funded scientific project and spend their time working towards a clear goal.
39 This usually means getting a PhD in the chosen field.In many cases,it also means finding work opportunities during the school year.They can provide the person with practical experience.Many scientists regularly publish their findings or notes of their work.
Some scientists,such as a doctor,might require official certificates(证书). 40 The requirements and duties of scientists are as broad and various as the area which they study.
A.Being a scientist requires a very good education.
B.In different fields,the research can be different.
C.Others might only need membership in an association.
D.A scientist may make use of the results of others’ researches.
E.The purpose of science is to produce useful models of reality.

Recently I graduated from high school,and as a gift I received a huge hunch of flowers,40 to be exact! I had so many that I didn’t know what to do with them.The next weekend my niece and nephew,Sue and Mike,aged 6 and 7,came and suddenly I had an idea.I might let them give out these flowers to people they met on the street,and in this way,they could learn how to be friendly to others.So,I told them about my plan and explained that these flowers would make people feel happy and smile.They loved the idea and were eager to have a try.So,at once we took every single flower and tied a smile card to it.We then went to the street with the flowers.
The first flower went to a policeman.As soon as she saw the policeman,my niece ran up to him and handed him a flower.His smile was so big,but hers was even bigger!
In no time,we neared the end of our flowers.It was lunch time and we went to Subway for lunch.There the kids gave a flower to the waitress,who was really excited to receive the flower.As we were eating our lunch,the waitress came up to the kids with two big chocolate cookies! She said the chocolate cookies were for them and that she really liked the flower! As they ate the cookies,my niece and nephew looked at me with the biggest smiles I had ever seen.

I live in the center of the city.It rarely rains there,so cars parked in the open parking lot can easily become dusty.
One sunny day,I decided to surprise the owners with a car wash.At first,people would come by and ask me,“Who told you to wash the cars ” or “Who paid you to wash their cars ” I had to explain that I just wanted to do something kind.My reply was often met with an even more confused look.
But as the afternoon went on,some other people that came by understood my goal of the activity.They started helping out with some of the chores.When the day was over,we were all satisfied with the work we have done.
Then I realized that there is special energy created when you choose to think bigger and serve others.Though I didn’t make any money that day,I have found the greatest gift I’ll ever get.

30.A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知,伊丽莎白女王的去世标志着英国与战时时代的联系的结束,也标志一个时代的结束,世界上的领导人中只有美国总统拜登与战时有联系,因此推断提到美国总统拜登是为了说明女王的重要历史意义。故选A项。
31.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,伊丽莎白去世,查理三世继任,英国未来还要面临很多挑战和许多未知,这些都有待观察,需要查理三世去面对和处理。故选D项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要探讨通过工作记忆培训能否使你变得更聪明这个问题。作者在文章中陈述了对于此问题的不同观点,并通过分析以前的一些研究报告得出结论:工作记忆训练会让你训练的那一方面有所提高,但不会使你变得更聪明。
32.A 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“We would all like to increase our cognitive...industry.”可以推测出认知训练给培训公司带来很大的利益,故答案为A项。

34.C 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The results were very clear.Working-memory training did not show any effect on...They may just have learnt how to perform that particular type of task.”可知,工作记忆训练对儿童的流动智力没有显示出任何影响。这也不会影响他们的学业成就或其他认知能力。唯一可靠的结果是,孩子们在他们训练做的事情上做得更好。他们可能只是学会了如何执行这种特定类型的任务。也就是说,孩子们在他们所接受训练的领域表现得更好。故选C项。
35.B 主旨大意题。文章第一段首先提出了问题:工作记忆培训真的能提高你的智力吗 文章下文阐述了人们对于工作记忆训练能否提高认知能力的不同观点,通过分析研究能够找到的以前的研究成果来弄清楚工作记忆训练的效果,并得出结论:工作记忆不能使人变得更聪明。所以B项可以概括全文,适合作为文章标题。

第一节
Good morning,everyone!Today I would like to show respect for Dr.Yuan Longping.
The first thing that strikes me most is that he put the country’s needs before his personal interest.When he saw farmers working all the year round still suffered from starvation,he decided to devote himself to agriculture.The second thing is that he never gave up his belief regardless of what difficulty he came across.He continued to make intensive efforts and eventually achieved substantial progress in developing high-yielding rice,which helped the world solve food shortage.
All in all,I admire Dr.Yuan so much that I determine to be a person like him.Thank you!
第二节
With just one flower left,I said it should be given to the person who needed it most.Just then,my nephew caught sight of an old woman in a wheelchair nearby.“I think she’s the very person for the flower.She lives a hard life because of bad health.She needs smiles most,” said my nephew.With these words,my nephew,followed by my niece,took the flower up to her.You can imagine how happy the old woman looked! She smiled,and gave each of the kids a big kiss.
It turned out to be a great day for us.We spread a lot of smiles by giving out flowers,and received a lot of smiles in return.The flowers not only made us feel good about ourselves,but also made 40 other people feel happy.I feel there is nothing more enjoyable than being friendly to people.Meanwhile,the kids learned an important lesson in the process.In fact,they can’t wait until next time they have such a chance again.They want to give out more flowers!综合测评(一)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
When people think of working animals,what often comes to mind are dogs that watch sheep,horses that work on farms and animals that perform in movies.But there are lots of other jobs animals have had over the years.
Dogs have greater sense of smell than humans.This made dogs the traditional hunting partners,making their owners able to follow foxes and other animals.Police departments have taken advantage of this skill to help find missing people and escaped criminals.Recently,dogs have been trained to find drugs and explosives (爆炸物).
The honey guide lives in the southeast African nation of Mozambique.It has developed a win-win relationship with a group called the Yao.If a Yao member makes a certain sound,the honey guide will fly from tree to tree directing him to a hidden bee box.Once the box is discovered,the person breaks open the box for honey,and the honey guide could enjoy the honey,too.
Ferrets (雪貂) are cute and furry animals that are from 1.5 to 4 pounds.People have taken advantage of a ferret’s natural ability to run through tiny space.Ferrets wear a special harness(甲胄) that makes them able to pull a string through hundreds of feet of tiny space,which is then used to pull computer wires through tiny space.
Baby flies are called maggots.The job of a maggot is to eat and grow until it turns into a fly.This is similar to how a caterpillar eats and grows until it becomes a butterfly.However,there is a big difference between these insects.Caterpillars feed on plants,while maggots eat meat.Actually,they only enjoy bad meat.Maggots are used with patients who get serious infections that can’t be treated with antibiotics (抗生素).The maggots are used to the infected area for a number of days.They eat the dead part but leave the living part alone,thereby helping patients recover from the infection.
21.From the passage,we can learn that dogs .
A.are the friendly friends of sheep
B.have developed a win-win relationship with people
C.have greater sense of smell than foxes and other animals
D.help human beings a lot in many areas
22.With the help of the honey-guide,the Yao member can .
A.find the hidden bee box B.develop a great relationship with bees
C.pay attention to dangerous things D.stay away from criminals
23.What can we know from the passage
A.The honey guide can be used as medicine.
B.People can learn much from dogs and horses.
C.Ferrets are good at running through tiny space.
D.The baby fly is always called the caterpillar.
24.People can take advantage of the baby flies to treat .

Whether in the home or the workplace,social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years.Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way,said Cynthia Breazeal,chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.
While household robots today do the normal housework,social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools.For example,these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad.This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.
The Jibo robot,arranged to ship later this year,is designed to be a personalized assistant.You can talk to the robot,ask it questions,and make requests for it to perform different tasks.The robot doesn’t just deliver general answers to questions;it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household.It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home.They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market.The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store,which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store.It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.
The more interaction the robot has with humans,the more it learns.But Oshbot,like other social robots,is not intended to replace workers,but to work alongside other employees.“We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us,but with us,” said Breazeal.
25.How are social robots different from household robots
A.They can control their emotions. B.They are more like humans.
C.They do the normal housework. D.They respond to users more slowly.
26.What can a Jibo robot do according to paragraph 3
A.Communicate with you and perform operations.
B.Answer your questions and make requests.
C.Take your family pictures and deliver milk.
D.Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.
27.What does the passage mainly present
A.A new design idea of household robots. B.Marketing strategies for social robots.
C.Information on household robots. D.An introduction to social robots.

Record fires sweeping across the Amazon have been catching global headlines as scientists and environmental groups are worried that they will worsen climate change and threaten biodiversity(生物多样性).
As the largest rainforest in the world,the Amazon is often called “the lungs of the world”.It is also home to about 3 million species of plants and animals,and 1 million local people.The vast lands of rainforest play an important role in the world’s ecosystem because they take in heat instead of it being reflected back into the atmosphere.They also store carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) and produce oxygen,making sure that less carbon is given off,mitigating the effects of climate change.
“Any forest destroyed is a threat to biodiversity and the people who use that biodiversity,” Thomas Lovejoy,an ecologist at George Mason University told National Geographic.“The shocking threat is that a lot of carbon goes into the atmosphere,” he stressed.“Facing the global climate change,we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity.The Amazon must be protected,” UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said.
Data from the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) show that the number of forest fires in Brazil quickly increased by 82 percent from January to August this year from a year ago.A total of 71,497 forest fires were recorded in the country in the first eight months of 2019,up from 39,194 in the same period in 2018,INPE said.“It’s reported that the forest areas in the Brazilian Amazon have decreased something between 20 and 30 percent compared to the last 12 months,” Carlos Nobre,a researcher at the University of Sao Paulo,told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.
Brazil owns about 60 percent of the Amazon rainforest,whose drop could have severe results for global climate and rainfall.The size of the area ruined by fires has yet to be determined,but the emergency has transcended(超出)Brazil’s borders,reaching Peruvian,Paraguayan and Bolivian areas.
28.Which of the following best explains “mitigating” underlined in paragraph 2
A.Easing. B.Causing. C.Worsening. D.Benefiting.
29.What can we learn from Thomas’s and Antonio’s words
A.The biodiversity makes the rainforests unique.
B.The rainforest fires result in serious consequences.
C.The global climate crisis brings more rainforest fires.
D.The dry weather leads to the rainforest fires.
30.Which section of a magazine is this text probably taken from
A.Sports and music. B.Science and technology.
C.Nature and geography. D.Business and culture.
31.What is the second paragraph mainly talking about
A.The effects of climate change. B.The role of the Amazon rainforest.
C.The results of the Amazon rainforest fires. D.The causes of the decreasing biodiversity.

A company in San Francisco,California,has found a way to turn used plastic bottles into women’s shoes.
Every day,millions of Americans drink water and other liquids from plastic bottles.More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day.Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.
A San Francisco start-up company called Rothy’s,however,turns this plastic waste into environmentally friendly shoes.Roth Martin is the company’s co-founder.He explains how they turn plastics into soft materials for women’s feet.They take the plastic,clean it,and break it down into small pieces.Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers.Those fibers are then combined together.This is done by a 3D machine.It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes.The knitted stuff and the inner part of the shoe are then attached to the shoe’s outer part,called the sole (鞋底).This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly material: responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.
Rothy’s shoes are sold online.They are flat shoes,with either a rounded or pointed toe.They come in different colors and designs.They cost either $125 or $145 per pair,depending on the design.After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year,the demand for the shoes grew.Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand.“We’re not going to run out of water bottles any time soon.So we have a limitless supply of material,and I think that is a good sign for our future.” When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out,customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled materials to make other products.
For now,the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States.However,the company says it will add international shipping in the near future.
32.How are used plastic bottles usually dealt with
A.They are buried or burned. B.They are used to make shoes.
C.They are changed into soft materials. D.They are returned to factories for reuse.
33.What does the underlined word “knitted” in the third paragraph mean
A.Attached. B.Fixed.
C.Combined. D.Repaired.
34.Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothy’s shoes
A.The design and colour. B.The reasonable price.
C.The company’s advertisement. D.The star power of Gwyneth Paltrow.
35.What is the purpose of the text
A.To advertise a new kind of shoes.
B.To describe the process of making shoes.
C.To introduce a new way of recycling plastic waste.
D.To stress the importance of environmental protection.

The Meredith family lived in a small community.As the economy was in decline,some people in the town had lost their jobs.Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet.People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.
Mrs.Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman.She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor.She knew they had problems,and they needed all kinds of help.When she had time,she would bring food and medicine to them.
One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before.There was a man sick in bed,his wife,who took care of him and could not go out to work,and their little boy.The little boy—his name was Bernard—had interested her very much.
“I wish you could see him,”she said to her own children,John,Harry,and Clara.“He is such a help to his mother.He wants very much to earn some money,but I don’t see what he can do.”
After their mother left the room,the children sat thinking about Bernard.“I wish we could help him to earn money,”said Clara.“His family is suffering so much.”
“So do I,”said Harry.“We really should do something to assist them.”

I like reading,so my favourite place in our city is the city library.I’d like to share with you a little about our city library.When the city library was first built in 1970,it had only two floors,but as the population in the city grew,more and more people visited the library,so two more floors were added to it 10 years later.Today the library has a collection of over 140,000 books and 100 kinds of newspapers and magazines,though not all of those can be taken out.I like visiting the third floor because that’s where all the science books and older books are located.Sometimes I also visit the second floor to read the latest magazines and newspapers.I go to the first floor almost every weekend to get novels and textbooks to take home to read.The library is open from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday to Friday,but on the weekend,it closes one hour earlier.

第二节
When Mrs.Meredith heard of John’s idea,she thought it was a good one,too.Very soon,the children were busy popping the corn,while their mother went out to buy the paper bags.When she came back,she brought Bernard with her.Bernard was very glad to join in the work and said,“So good an idea! I’ll try right now.” They worked together until all the corn they prepared was all popped,the paper bags filled and arranged in the basket.
With everything ready,Bernard started out on his new business.Much sooner than expected,he returned with an empty basket.He had never earned so much money before in his life.For many weeks,the Meredith family continued to offer popcorn to Bernard.People began to watch for the “little popcorn boy”,and every week he had at least fifty cents,a significant income for him and his family,to take home.All of this was thanks to the good idea that John came up with.
