Cheapest Islands in the World to Visit
Grand Bahama Island, The Bahamas
As the northernmost of the 700 islands of the Bahamas, Grand Bahama dishes up plenty of cheap activities alongside its white-sand beaches. Visiting Lucayan National Park, which is home to both beloved Gold Rock Beach and one of the largest underwater cave（洞穴） systems in the world, is an affordable trip. There are hotel rooms at $80 a night.
Madeira, Portugal
Though closer to mainland Africa, Madeira is a part of Portugal known for its breathtaking natural beauty. Visitors can find hotels starting at $85 a night, and enjoy plenty of low-cost activities, like rowing a boat around the volcanic Porto Moniz natural swimming pools, and admiring the never-ending views around the island. No wonder it’s been called the “Hawaii of Europe”.
Dominican Republic
Looking for one of the least expensive Caribbean islands The Dominican Republic is full of affordable surprises. In Santo Domingo, walk around Zona Colonial, the historic heart of the country’s capital, you’ll find castles, cathedrals（教堂）, cobblestone streets, and cafés around every corner. During the low season（summer）, you can find hotel deals starting at $33 a night.

For most of December, Adele Adkins had the top-selling album in Australia, followed by Ed Sheeran, and then there was a collection of songs that took everyone by surprise.
Songs Of Disappearance is a collection of calls from endangered Australian birds. Last month, it briefly reached No.3 on the country’s top 50 albums chart（排行榜）—ahead of Taylor Swift.
Anthony Albrecht, a PhD student at Charles Darwin University, produced the album with Professor Stephen Garnett. “I knew it was a crazy thing to suggest. But Stephen’s a little bit crazy like me and he let me do it,” Albrecht said.
Songs Of Disappearance was published with a university report which found that 1 in 6 Australian bird species are now threatened. The album records 53 of those species.
“Some sing what you might think of as bird songs, but not all of them,” said Sean Dooley, who represents the conservation organization Birdlife Australia. “Songs from the golden bowerbird sound like a death cry from some sci-fi series. And the love songs from Christmas Island frigatebird, which has a piece of skin hanging under its mouth that can inflate（膨胀）like a huge red balloon, sound as bizarre as its unusual looks.”
There’s also the Christmas Island pigeon. When people hear that pigeon, they might think that it’s a human making silly noises, Dooley added.
The Charles Darwin University and Birdlife Australia report does document successes in protecting endangered birds, the hope being that the album will protect more species.
“The increased awareness can make a difference,” Dooley said. “When we have a community on board, that brings pressure to the government to do the right thing. We know that these conservation actions do work.”
24. Whose album reached No.1 on the chart in December
A. Taylor Swift’s. B. Adele Adkins’.
C. Ed Sheeran’s. D. Anthony Albrecht’s.
25. What can be learned from the university report
A. About 53 bird species are threatened in Australia.
B. It has not found success in protecting endangered birds.
C. One sixth of Australian bird species are now endangered.
D. Music is very powerful in encouraging people to protect birds.
26. Which is closest in meaning to “bizarre” in paragraph 5
A. Strange. B. Beautiful. C. Loud. D. Sharp.
27. What does Sean Dooley think of Anthony Albrecht’s project
A. Crazy. B. Amusing. C. Uncreative. D. Helpful.
C
The first wave of concerns over artificial intelligence（AI）in 2023 appeared soon after New Year’s Day when classrooms reopened and schools from Seattle to Paris started blocking ChatGPT, a powerful software based on Al large language models, because teenagers were using it to do their homework.
The AI large language models behind such products as ChatGPT work by repeatedly guessing the next word in a sentence after having “learned” the rules from a huge amount of human-written works. Although they often get facts wrong, their answers appear so natural that even their inventors begin to worry about their possible use for spreading false information.
People became more worried when various AI products started to create not just texts but novel images, music and human voices, which threatened the livelihoods of anyone who writes, draws or sings for a living. It led to strikes by Hollywood writers and actors and legal challenges from artists and bestselling authors. Some of the most respected scientists even warned that the technology’s unchecked progress was possibly threatening human existence.
“In the longer term, they might manage our attention,” pioneering AI scientist Fei Fei Lisaid. “They would tell us which video to watch, which book to read or whose communication to respond as AI technology’s abilities improve rapidly. They could be a very good assistant, but also with really big risks.”
Li hoped that 2023 is going to be a year for people to think about what AI is, how to use it and what the effects are—all the good, the bad and the ugly.
“It’s easy to forget that they are not the first wave of AI puter vision techniques developed by Li and other scientists have helped sort through a huge database of photos to recognize objects and individual faces and guide self-driving cars. Speech recognition advances have made voice assistants like Siri and Alexa a normal thing in many people’s lives,” said Tom Gruber, co-founder of Siri Inc.
28. Why did schools try to stop their students from using ChatGPT
A. ChatGPT often got facts wrong in the class.
B. Students spent too much time on the software.
C. ChatGPT helped students spread false information.
D. Students used the software to cheat at their homework.
29. What are the second and third paragraphs mainly about
A. AI’s training costs. B. AI’s amazing abilities.
C. AI’s possible threats. D. AI’s fast developments.
30. What would Tom Gruber most probably suggest people do
A. Think carefully about AI’s impact. B. Welcome AI technology.
C. Do use ChatGPT more carefully. D. Upgrade ChatGPT in time.
31. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A news report. B. A guidebook to a software.
C. A product review. D. An introduction to a person.
D
A study published Tuesday in the journal Psychonomic Bulletin & Review found that words expressing angry feelings sound alike in several unrelated languages. They’re less likely than other words to include the sounds L, R, W or Y. And more friendly versions of such words often have these sounds added. The finding suggests that certain rules may link the world’s languages, no matter how different they are.
Ryan McKay, co-author of the paper, happened to discover that some of the English curses（诅咒语）seem to have something in common: They’re often short and include the sounds B, P, T or K. Then Dr. McKay teamed up with his colleague Shiri Lev-Ari to learn whether these rules went beyond English.
During the experiment, they asked fluent speakers of Arabic, Korean, German and Spanish to list the worst words they could think of. Once they’d made a list of each language’s most commonly used curses, the researchers compared these with neutral（中性的）words from the same language. To their surprise, the rules still apply.
Next, the scientists asked the same people to listen to pairs of invented words, such as “yog” and “tsog” and guess which word in each pair was a curse. The subjects were more likely to guess that words without L, R, W and Y, such as “tsog”, were curses.
Finally, the researchers looked through the dictionary for English curses and their cleaned-up versions. Once again, the cleaned-up versions included more of the sounds L, R, W and Y.
“Most 20th-century language scientists held that any word could have any meaning,” said Dr. McKay. “With curses, though, the sounds themselves seem to carry meaning. This can shape and change our understanding of how languages are formed.”
“It is the first time for researchers to study curses across languages and the finding is very interesting,” said Benjamin Bergen, a language scientist at the University of California, who was not involved in the study. “But it is just another case of what’s called sound symbolism in the language study: A word sounds like what it means.”
32. Which word is most probably an uncleaned-up curse according to the text
A. Rucy. B. Buk. C. Yayad. D. Walawala.
33. What did the researchers do in their last step
A. Applying their study to more unrelated languages.
B. Studying the neutral words and curses side by side.
C. Asking people to listen to pairs of non-existing words.
D. Comparing English curses with their friendly versions.
34. What did Benjamin Bergen mean
A. The study method is really unscientific.
B. It will change our understanding in a way.
C. It is not a totally new discovery at all.
D. The selected languages are too limited.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce a newly published study.
B. To prove the unique rules in English.
C. To tell another way of memorizing words.
D. To show how to use more friendly curses.
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。
Walking might seem simple. “But it’s not,” explains Peggy Cawthon, a professor at Harvard Medical School. “It’s an amazingly complex behavior when we try to understand how to improve our lives as we age.” 36 Here are a few ideas.
Don’t stop exercising
Cawthon agrees that the worst thing a person can do is to stop exercising. “You’ll feel the effects almost immediately,” says Cawthon. Sitting for hours leaves her uncomfortable, and it’s the days when she types that her arthritis（关节炎）doesn’t cause much pain. 37 .
Train yourself to walk with skill
To truly improve your walking, you need to think like an athlete. Imagine you want to play tennis, but you have a bad backhand. Playing lots of tennis won’t fix the problem, Cawthon says. 38 . It’s the same thing with walking.
Give your brain a boost（激励）
39 . So don’t forget that when working out your fitness plan. Cawth on has been studying an area of the brain related to motivation（动机）and executive function. Subjects with a boost walk more steps on average than the control group, and they have been maintaining that even several months later.
40
So when should we face the music about our mobility There is no final answer for when walking problems begin to come up. “You should be as active as you can at any age,” Cawth on says, noting that people who are healthy in their 20s and 30s are best equipped to deal with future age-related challenges. “The best time to start is now. Next best is tomorrow,” she says.
A. Start planning now
B. Be in pretty good shape
C. You need to improve your skill
D. So what steps should we take to do it right
E. How can you sweat your way to good health
F. It is a helpful reminder that our bodies need action
G. Basically, the body part controlling everything is your brain

48 in District 214 three years ago, 214 Cares is here to stay, now addressing 49 needs of students and their families, from helping pay the rent to putting food on the table. But the needs have 50 , so social workers are trying to 51 the 214 Cares fund（专款）by calling on people to donate（捐赠）money.
“There have been other needs that have come forward, like medical costs for students,” said Michael Happ, the program’s director. “So there’s a real 52 for us to have a fund, which is trustworthy, and 53 by the community. People know they can give 54 to 214 Cares and it will go to help those kids and their families 55 in our community.”

I grew up in southeastern Michigan. I was a fan of Detroit Tigers, a famous baseball team, as a young boy.
My childhood dream was to be like my hero, Al Kaline, and someday play for the Tigers. My Dad would take me to Tiger Stadium several times a year and my hero Al Kaline would never let me down. We never attended a game that he didn’t get at least one hit.
I was crazy about baseball. If there was a game in my high school, I was never absent. I kept practising so that I could achieve my dream of playing for the Tigers, and I was doing well at each level of play. Later, I got a chance to sign up for a strong American Legion baseball program. There I met our coach, Bob Ohm, who knew a lot of baseball and taught each of us the basics as well as more advanced baseball skills. With Bob Ohm’s help and my hard work, I had set new records in many baseball championships.
My dream to be like my hero seemed to draw near. One summer, I went up to play the final season in Marinette. There were scouts who came to find the best players. This was it! My big chance!
Well, as the game progressed I hit the ball very well getting five hits in the game. Unfortunately, I also made four mistakes. The final mistake actually drew laughter from the crowd.

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Sir or Madam,
Learning from the newspaper that you will hold the international Stand Up Paddle（SUP）race, I am writing to apply for the race.
I come from a senior high school in China. I am fond of sports, especially SUP. I am good at it. Last year, I won the first prize in the SUP race organized by our school. Besides, I have a good command of spoken English. Taking part in this activity, I expect to broaden my vision and experience the international spirits of SUP sports. What’s more, I am looking forward to making more international friends.
I do hope I can be accepted.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
After the game, I knew my dream of playing professional baseball was lost. I was crushed at the time about the loss of my dream. I talked with my coach Bob Ohm about my failure. He shared the way he became himself now and comforted, “There can be many kinds of dreams in life. As long as you never give up, you can have the chance to realize your dream. The key point is that you need to maximize your strengths and be who you really are.” Thinking of my coach’s words, I decided to continue to play and practise to achieve my next dream of being a baseball teacher in a school.
Today, I teach baseball in a high school. The relationships that I have enjoyed with the students and athletes through the years are things that no one can put a price tag on. Although my early dream to play baseball for the Tigers didn’t come true, it created a new dream for me to be a teacher. I am proud of what I am doing because I can help the young go beyond their dreams with my most positive influence on them.
