A badly-injured fox spent two weeks recovering in a garden tent after attaching itself to a family in Glasgow, Scotland.
Liz Wink said the fox followed her home before they noticed a bad wound on its side. “My son Andrew came running in and said ‘there’s a fox following me’,” Wink said. “We opened the door and it was just standing there.”
“I have three dogs and they were barking (吠叫)but it was still trying to come in —its nose was going through the letterbox. We noticed the wound. We put food in the back garden and it made the back garden its home. There was also a chair in the back.” The fox was fed food including cooked chicken. “We also bought a tent, with an old quit cover in it.”
Wink said antibiotics(抗生素)were given after contacting a vet, and the fox finally left their garden with the wound healed after a fortnight. “It was here day and night,” Wink said. “My daughter Lucy is good with animals and would pat it. It was so quiet.”
“Clearly, when foxes are injured they take a thing called a rescue nap(抢救性小睡)and I think that’s what it has done with us,” Wink said. “They nap for however long it takes , and it completely healed. Then it was up and away and we never saw that fox again. We still have foxes but that one was so friendly, the other ones do run away. Maybe it will come back with babies one day.”
Although it’s great that the fox appeared to make a full recovery, we wouldn’t advise members of the public to attempt to treat sick or injured wild animals themselves. If people find a wounded wild animal in trouble, they should call animal helpline.

ChatGPT is a prototype (原型) dialogue-based AI chatbot (聊天 机 器人 ) which can understand natural human language and creating impressively detailed human-like written text. The new AI was created by OpenAI, a research center founded by Elon Musk. Musk co-founded the new company with other bosses. The research centre aims to advance digital intelligence in a way that benefits humans.
ChatGPT works by being trained on a large amount of text from the Internet using AI and machine learning. The system is designed to provide information and answer questions through a traditional interface (界面) .
Early users have described the technology as a tool to replace to Google because it can provide descriptions, answers, and solutions to different kinds of questions. Real-world applications could include producing content for websites, answering customer questions, providing recommendations (推荐) , and creating automated (自动化的) chatbots. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the system is “an early model of what’s possible.” He hopes to produce helpful assistants that talk to users, answer questions, and give advice. In the future, these assistants could periorm tasks for users and even discover new knowledge.
There has been prediction that jobs dependent on content production, such as playwrights, protessors, programmers, and journalists, could be obsolete because of ChatGPT. However, at its current stage, the chatbot lacks slight differences, critical thinking skills, and ethical (道德) decision-making ability which are necessary for successful journalism. In addition, its knowledge base ends in 2021, which means that some questions and searches are useless now. ChatGPT can also provide incorrect or misleading answers, because it is short of a source of truth in the data used to train the model.
In short, ChatGPT is a powerful AI chatbot and it may be used in various industries, but it is still in its early stages and has limitations. As AI technology continues to evolve, we can expect more advanced chatbots like ChatGPT in the future.
11. What is the purpose of OpenAI
A. To produce content for giving advice.
B. To train ChatGPT as a super computer.
C. To use ChatGPT as a tool to replace Google.
D. To improve digital intelligence that can benefit humans.
12. How does ChatGPT work according to the text
A. By answering questions for websites.
B. By being trained on a large amount of text.
C. By providing information and giving advice.
D. By producing detailed human-like written text.
13. Which of the following statements of future AI assistants will Sam Altman agree on
A. They will only answer questions and give advice.
B They will replace jobs dependent on content production.
C. They will have slight differences and critical thinking skills.
D. They will perform tasks for users and discover new knowledge.
14. What does the underlined word “obsolete” mean in paragraph 4
A. Curious. B. Responsible. C. Outdated. D. Humorous.
15. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A health article. B. A science fiction.
C. A nature magazine. D. A science website.
【答案】11. D 12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了由OpenAI开发的新型AI对话机器人ChatGPT。它通过AI和机器学习训练，在回答问题、提供建议等方面展示了潜力。尽管有着取代谷歌的预测，但目前仍存在限制，如缺乏批判性思维和道德决策能力。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The new AI was created by OpenAI, a research center founded by Elon Musk. Musk co-founded the new company with other bosses. The research centre aims to advance digital intelligence in a way that benefits humans.(新的人工智能是由埃隆·马斯克创立的研究中心OpenAI开发的。马斯克与其他老板共同创立了这家新公司。该研究中心旨在以造福人类的方式推进数字智能)”可知，OpenAI的目的是推进数字智能，让它能够造福人类。故选D项。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“ChatGPT works by being trained on a large amount of text from the Internet using AI and machine learning.(ChatGPT的工作原理是使用人工智能和机器学习对来自互联网的大量文本进行训练)”可知，ChatGPT通过进行大量的文本训练来运行。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the system is “an early model of what’s possible.” He hopes to produce helpful assistants that talk to users, answer questions, and give advice. In the future, these assistants could periorm tasks for users and even discover new knowledge.(OpenAI首席执行官萨姆·奥特曼表示，该系统是“可能实现的早期模型”。他希望制造出能够与用户交谈、回答问题并提供建议的有用助手。在未来，这些助手可以为用户执行任务，甚至发现新的知识)”可推知，萨姆·奥特曼认为在未来，人工智能助手可以为用户执行任务，甚至发现新的知识。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“There has been prediction that jobs dependent on content production, such as playwrights, protessors, programmers, and journalists, could be obsolete because of ChatGPT.(有人预测，依赖于内容创作的工作，如剧作家、教授、程序员和记者，可能会因为ChatGPT而obsolete)”中“because of ChatGPT”可推知，能回答问题、提供建议的AI对话机器人ChatGPT的出现可能影响到一些依赖于内容创作的工作，如作家、教授、程序员和记者等，因为他们的工作内容有重叠的地方。ChatGPT可能会替代这些工作，也就是这些工作会被淘汰。划线词obsolete与outdated同义，意为“过时的；淘汰的”。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“ChatGPT is a prototype (原型) dialogue-based AI chatbot (聊天机器人) which can understand natural human language and creating impressively detailed human-like written text.(ChatGPT是一个基于对话的人工智能聊天机器人原型，它可以理解自然的人类语言，并创建令人印象深刻的详细的类似人类的书面文本)”和最后一段中“In short, ChatGPT is a powerful AI chatbot and it may be used in various industries, but it is still in its early stages and has limitations. As AI technology continues to evolve, we can expect more advanced chatbots like ChatGPT in the future.(总之，ChatGPT是一个功能强大的AI聊天机器人，它可能会在各个行业中使用，但它仍然处于早期阶段，有局限性。随着人工智能技术的不断发展，我们可以期待未来出现更多像ChatGPT这样的高级聊天机器人)”可知，文章介绍了由OpenAI开发的新型AI对话机器人ChatGPT，它可以理解自然的人类语言，并创建令人印象深刻的详细的类似人类的书面文本，它可能会在各个行业中使用。文章内容与科学技术相关，所以很可能出自一个科学网站。故选D项。

Everyone knows that it is a good thing to practice drawing and painting every day. ____16____ Daily drawing can easily become a repeated and boring activity that needs great effort it, it simply occupies the busy life without any reflection or sense of purpose. If you can practice frequently with an air of relaxation and small achievable goal, you will find it more rewarding and enjoyable.
If you produce frequent small-scale paintings, you will learn much faster. ____17____ Of course, when you are producing so much work, the odd failure doesn’t matter nearly as much either. Alongside developing your technical skills I would encourage you to study as much art as you can. Learn as much as you can about the paintings and artists that inspire you. ____18____
It is likely that the paintings which inspire you will have qualities that you feel are lacking from your own. ____19____ All these make a difference to leading you forwards. This journey is never-ending and a large part of what makes it all so richly interesting.
____20____ This helps in several ways: firstly you’ll know better when the work is finished, secondly it helps you keep clarity of purpose and thirdly, you can judge its success against your original aim. Of course, wonderful and unexpected things will occur as you paint, but these can throw you off course too. Thus do keep your focus as you go.
A. However, how many of us actually do it
B Produce works that are in line with people’s taste.
C. It’s a good idea to start by defining a clear achievable goal.
D. In this way, you clearly know what you like and what you don’t.
E. Imagine how much more you can learn from ten paintings than one.
F. Drawing has many benefits and can improve our lives in a variety of ways.
G. Besides, while learning, you will naturally seek out new artists and artworks.
【答案】16. A 17. E 18. D 19. G 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要强调了实践对于绘画的重要性，并提供了一些建议帮助人们更好地进行绘画练习。
【16题详解】
根据上文的“Everyone knows that it is a good thing to practice drawing and painting every day.(每个人都知道每天练习画画是一件好事。)”和下文的“Daily drawing can easily become a repeated and boring activity that needs great effort it, it simply occupies the busy life without any reflection or sense of purpose.(日常绘画很容易成为一项重复而枯燥的活动，需要付出巨大的努力。它只是占据了繁忙的生活，没有任何反思或目标感。)”可知，画画需要每天练习，这是枯燥的，由此推测很多人都没有做到每天练习，A项“然而，我们中有多少人真正做到了？”承接上文，说明了每天坚持画画是很难做到的，下文解释了原因。故选A项。
【17题详解】
根据上文的“If you produce frequent small-scale paintings, you will learn much faster. (如果你经常画小尺寸的画，你会学得更快。)”和下文的“Of course, when you are producing so much work, the odd failure doesn’t matter nearly as much either. Alongside developing your technical skills I would encourage you to study as much art as you can. Learn as much as you can about the paintings and artists that inspire you. (当然，当你做了这么多工作时，偶尔的失败也没什么大不了的。在发展你的技术技能的同时，我鼓励你尽可能多地学习艺术。尽可能多地了解给你灵感的绘画和艺术家。)”可知，E项(想象一下，你从十幅画中学到的东西比从一幅画中学到的东西要多得多。)承接上文，说明了画小尺寸的画带来的收获多，下文指出即使你在画很多小尺寸的画作时遭遇了失败也是正常的，你还是要在培养技能的同时去尽可能地多学习艺术。故选E项。
【18题详解】
空处位于段末，应承接上文；根据上文的“Of course, when you are producing so much work, the odd failure doesn’t matter nearly as much either. Alongside developing your technical skills I would encourage you to study as much art as you can. Learn as much as you can about the paintings and artists that inspire you. (当然，当你做了这么多工作时，偶尔的失败也没什么大不了的。在发展你的技术技能的同时，我鼓励你尽可能多地学习艺术。尽可能多地了解给你灵感的绘画和艺术家。)”推知，偶尔的失败以及对绘画和艺术家的了解可以让我们更清楚自己喜欢什么。D项“这样，你就清楚地知道自己喜欢什么，不喜欢什么”符合题意，指出在遭遇偶尔的失败时要坚持学习艺术，这样才能发现自己的喜好在哪里。故选D项。
【19题详解】
根据上文的“It is likely that the paintings which inspire you will have qualities that you feel are lacking from your own.(很可能给你灵感的画作会有你觉得自己缺乏的品质。)”和下文的“All these make a difference to leading you forwards. This journey is never-ending and a large part of what makes it all so richly interesting.(所有这些都会对你的进步产生影响。这段旅程是永无止境的，也是这一切如此丰富有趣的很大一部分原因。)”可知，G项“此外，在学习的过程中，你自然会寻找新的艺术家和艺术品”符合题意，承接上文，指出除了有些画作能够给你启示，让你知道缺少什么绘画品质之外，在学习的过程中你还会有寻找新的艺术家和艺术品的需求，以进一步为自己带来灵感，下文指出了寻求灵感是永无止境的，也是学习绘画艺术的快乐所在。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据下文的“This helps in several ways: firstly you’ll know better when the work is finished, secondly it helps you keep clarity of purpose and thirdly, you can judge its success against your original aim. Of course, wonderful and unexpected things will occur as you paint, but these can throw you off course too. Thus do keep your focus as you go.(这在几个方面有帮助：首先，你会更好地了解什么时候工作完成了，其次，它可以帮助你保持清晰的目标，第三，你可以根据你最初的目标来判断它的成功与否。当然，在你画画的过程中，会有奇妙和意想不到的事情发生，但这些也会让你偏离方向。因此，当你画下去的时候，一定要保持你的注意力)”可知，要有一个清晰的、可实现的目标。C项“从定义一个明确的可实现的目标开始是个好主意”符合题意，说明了符合实际的明确的目标是必要的，下文具体解释了拥有这样的目标的好处所在。故选C项。

第二节（满分15分）
57. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段结尾，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My fear of performing started early on in my life. I was a shy child who preferred staying in the background and avoiding attention. However, as I grew older, I realized that I had a hidden desire to express myself creatively and share my talents with others. This desire led me to find out various art forms, including music, dance, and theater.
But I used to struggle with stage fright. Whenever I was asked to perform in front of others, I would feel a sense of dread (惧怕) and anxiety, and my body would tense up. I would worry about making mistakes, forgetting my lines, or embarrassing (使尴尬、难堪) myself in front of others.
I remember very well my first audition (试演) for a school play. The play was a musical adaptation (改编) of a classic fairy tale, and I was excited about the chance to be a part of it. However, as the audition day approached, my excitement turned into anxiety. I started to doubt myself, and I started to question whether I was ready to take on such a demanding (要求高的) role. Despite my doubts, I decided to go through with the audition, hoping to overcome my fear and prove to myself that I could perform.
The day of the audition arrived, and I stood nervously in front of the audiences. I could feel my heart racing and my palms sweating as I prepared to sing my song and deliver my lines.
However, as I started to perform, something excellent and unusual happened. I fully put myself in the role I was playing and felt a sense of freedom and joy that I had never experienced before. I began to lose myself in the moment, and didn’t feel nervous and anxious. When the audition was over, I was surprised to learn I had been chosen to play a leading role. I was both excited and worried at the same time, but I knew I had to push through my fear and give it my all.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为90左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Since then, performing became an important part of my life.

A badly-injured fox spent two weeks recovering in a garden tent after attaching itself to a family in Glasgow, Scotland.
Liz Wink said the fox followed her home before they noticed a bad wound on its side. “My son Andrew came running in and said ‘there’s a fox following me’,” Wink said. “We opened the door and it was just standing there.”
“I have three dogs and they were barking (吠叫)but it was still trying to come in —its nose was going through the letterbox. We noticed the wound. We put food in the back garden and it made the back garden its home. There was also a chair in the back.” The fox was fed food including cooked chicken. “We also bought a tent, with an old quit cover in it.”
Wink said antibiotics(抗生素)were given after contacting a vet, and the fox finally left their garden with the wound healed after a fortnight. “It was here day and night,” Wink said. “My daughter Lucy is good with animals and would pat it. It was so quiet.”
“Clearly, when foxes are injured they take a thing called a rescue nap(抢救性小睡)and I think that’s what it has done with us,” Wink said. “They nap for however long it takes , and it completely healed. Then it was up and away and we never saw that fox again. We still have foxes but that one was so friendly, the other ones do run away. Maybe it will come back with babies one day.”

ChatGPT is a prototype (原型) dialogue-based AI chatbot (聊天 机 器人 ) which can understand natural human language and creating impressively detailed human-like written text. The new AI was created by OpenAI, a research center founded by Elon Musk. Musk co-founded the new company with other bosses. The research centre aims to advance digital intelligence in a way that benefits humans.
ChatGPT works by being trained on a large amount of text from the Internet using AI and machine learning. The system is designed to provide information and answer questions through a traditional interface (界面) .
Early users have described the technology as a tool to replace to Google because it can provide descriptions, answers, and solutions to different kinds of questions. Real-world applications could include producing content for websites, answering customer questions, providing recommendations (推荐) , and creating automated (自动化的) chatbots. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the system is “an early model of what’s possible.” He hopes to produce helpful assistants that talk to users, answer questions, and give advice. In the future, these assistants could periorm tasks for users and even discover new knowledge.
There has been prediction that jobs dependent on content production, such as playwrights, protessors, programmers, and journalists, could be obsolete because of ChatGPT. However, at its current stage, the chatbot lacks slight differences, critical thinking skills, and ethical (道德的) decision-making ability which are necessary for successful journalism. In addition, its knowledge base ends in 2021, which means that some questions and searches are useless now. ChatGPT can also provide incorrect or misleading answers, because it is short of a source of truth in the data used to train the model.
In short, ChatGPT is a powerful AI chatbot and it may be used in various industries, but it is still in its early stages and has limitations. As AI technology continues to evolve, we can expect more advanced chatbots like ChatGPT in the future.
11. What is the purpose of OpenAI
A. To produce content for giving advice.
B To train ChatGPT as a super computer.
C. To use ChatGPT as a tool to replace Google.
D. To improve digital intelligence that can benefit humans.
12. How does ChatGPT work according to the text
A. By answering questions for websites.
B. By being trained on a large amount of text.
C. By providing information and giving advice.
D. By producing detailed human-like written text.
13. Which of the following statements of future AI assistants will Sam Altman agree on
A. They will only answer questions and give advice.
B. They will replace jobs dependent on content production.
C. They will have slight differences and critical thinking skills.
D. They will perform tasks for users and discover new knowledge.
14. What does the underlined word “obsolete” mean in paragraph 4

57. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段结尾，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My fear of performing started early on in my life. I was a shy child who preferred staying in the background and avoiding attention. However as I grew older, I realized that I had a hidden desire to express myself creatively and share my talents with others. This desire led me to find out various art forms, including music, dance, and theater.
But I used to struggle with stage fright. Whenever I was asked to perform in front of others, I would feel a sense of dread (惧怕) and anxiety, and my body would tense up. I would worry about making mistakes, forgetting my lines, or embarrassing (使尴尬、难堪) myself in front of others.
I remember very well my first audition (试演) for a school play. The play was a musical adaptation (改编) of a classic fairy tale, and I was excited about the chance to be a part of it. However, as the audition day approached, my excitement turned into anxiety. I started to doubt myself, and I started to question whether I was ready to take on such a demanding (要求高的) role. Despite my doubts, I decided to go through with the audition, hoping to overcome my fear and prove to myself that I could perform.
The day of the audition arrived, and I stood nervously in front of the audiences. I could feel my heart racing and my palms sweating as I prepared to sing my song and deliver my lines.
However, as I started to perform, something excellent and unusual happened. I fully put myself in the role I was playing and felt a sense of freedom and joy that I had never experienced before. I began to lose myself in the moment, and didn’t feel nervous and anxious. When the audition was over, I was surprised to learn I had been chosen to play a leading role. I was both excited and worried at the same time, but I knew I had to push through my fear and give it my all.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为90左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Since then, performing became an important part of my life.
