NHL
Founded in 1917, the National Hockey League is the second-oldest sports league in the US and Canada and consists of a total of 32 teams. Three of the best performing teams from each division make it to the playoffs plus two wild card teams. All teams compete to win the prestigious Stanley Cup. Most of NHL’s revenue comes from TV and gate receipts with hockey-crazed Canadians being the primary market.

A few years ago, my husband Charlie and I had marriage problems. Growing family responsibilities and financial worries took a toll on us and we began arguing frequently, often late into the night.
However neither of us could take the step that would end our eleven-year marriage and bring heartbreak to our three young children. Deep down we knew we still loved each other, so we determined to work it out. Through countless discussions, we began to close the gulf. The more honest we were, the closer we became. When I felt we were reaching solid ground, I asked my husband to give me an “eternity (永恒) ring”. It was not so much the ring I wanted; it was the reassurance I thought it would bring.
We went shopping on a beautiful summer day. We walked hand in hand along a row of jeweler’s shops. Finally I found a ring I liked. While waiting for it to be adjusted, the jeweler took my left hand and glanced at my engagement ring. “May I clean it for you ” he asked. “It really doesn’t sparkle like it used to.” Charlie said as I slipped the ring off my finger. A few minutes later the jeweler was back. The ring shone like new!
On the drive home, I didn’t take my eyes off it. I forgot all about the eternity ring. I just couldn’t believe how this old ring suddenly sparkled the way it had the day Charlie gave it to me. I had taken it for granted these past years, but with a little polish it could still make my heart beat fast.
And that’s the way it is with a marriage. You have to work at keeping it polished and new, or else the grime (污垢) of the passing years will hide the joy. I put my hand on the seat between us and spread my fingers. Charlie covered my hand with his. I felt I was lucky to be able to see the sparkle in something old when I thought I needed something new.
24. The author and her husband had marriage problems partly because __________.
A. they frequently argued late into the night B. they were lack of money
C. they had countless discussions D. the author wanted to have an eternity ring
25. What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Free of trouble. B. Arriving at a square.
C. Wealthy and generous. D. In good relationship.
26. Why did the author forget all about the eternity ring on their way back home
A. The old ring’s light attracted her attention.
B. She was not satisfied with the eternity ring.
C. Her husband kept it for her.
D. The couple were talking all the way merrily.
27. What does the author mainly want to express in the last paragraph
A. We tend to prefer new objects to old ones.
B. One should remain thankful for what he has got.
C. Marriage should be constantly polished.
D. We should try to rediscover the use of old objects.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者和丈夫曾经有过婚姻问题，但双方均未想要离婚，而是努力解决双方之间的问题。当作者提出和丈夫一起去买永恒戒指的时候，由戒指除垢感悟到平凡的婚姻也应该像戒指一样经常除垢，让它重新生机勃勃。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Growing family responsibilities and financial worries took a toll on us and we began arguing frequently, often late into the night.(越来越多的家庭责任和经济上的担忧让我们付出了代价，我们开始频繁争吵，经常争吵到深夜。)”可知，作者和她的丈夫出现婚姻问题的部分原因是他们缺钱。故选B。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段上文“Through countless discussions, we began to close the gulf. The more honest we were, the closer we became.(经过无数次的讨论，我们开始弥合分歧。我们越诚实，我们就越亲密。)”可知，作者和丈夫解决了他们之间的问题，关系越来越融治；再根据画线部分所在句子中的“I asked my husband to give me an “eternity (永恒) ring”(我让我丈夫送我一枚“永恒戒指”。)”可推知，作者感觉她和丈夫的关系已经很好了，他们已经和好如初了。由此可推知，reaching solid ground意为“关系良好”。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“On the drive home, I didn’t take my eyes off it. I forgot all about the eternity ring. I just couldn’t believe how this old ring suddenly sparkled the way it had the day Charlie gave it to me. I had taken it for granted these past years, but with a little polish it could still make my heart beat fast.(在开车回家的路上，我目不转睛地盯着它。我把永恒戒指的事全忘了。我只是不敢相信这枚旧戒指突然又像查理送给我的那天一样闪闪发光。在过去的几年里，我认为这是理所当然的，但只要稍微润色一下，它仍然能让我心跳加速。)”可知，作者在回家的路上眼睛一直盯着那枚结婚戒指，因为它经过擦拭后重新放出了光芒，犹如丈夫刚给她的那天一样，即那枚旧戒指的光芒吸引了她的注意，早已忘记他们是要去买“永恒戒指”。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句“And that’s the way it is with a marriage. You have to work at keeping it polished and new, or else the grime (污垢) of the passing years will hide the joy.(婚姻就是这样的。你必须努力保持它的光亮和新鲜，否则过去岁月的污垢会掩盖喜悦。)”可知，作者认为对待婚姻也应该像对待那枚戒指一样，经常除垢，经常发现婚姻生活中的闪光点，使婚姻保持新鲜。由此可推知，作者在最后一段主要想表达婚姻要不断打磨。故选C。
C
Two thirds of the ice in the glaciers (冰川) of the Alps is doomed! These glaciers will melt by the end of the century as global temperatures rise, according to a recent study.
Scientists claim that half the ice held in some 4,000 Alpine glaciers will disappear by 2050 due to global warming through the effect of past emissions. After that, even if carbon emissions drop to zero, two-thirds of the ice will still have melted by 2100. If emissions continue to rise at the current rate, the ice tongues will have all but disappeared from Alpine valleys by the end of the century. The most pessimistic prediction tells us that the Alps will be mostly ice-free by 2100. Only isolated ice patches would remain at high altitudes, representing five per cent, at most, of the ice volume seen today.
The researchers warn that the loss of these glaciers will mean much less water is available for farming and hydroelectricity, especially during droughts. It would also affect nature and tourism.
In February, a study found that a third of the huge ice fields in Asia’s towering mountain chains were also under threat for the same reasons. This will lead to serious consequences for almost two billion people who live downstream. Glaciers along the Hindu Kush and Himalayan range are at higher, colder altitudes. If global carbon emissions are not cut, however, two-thirds of their ice could be gone by 2100.
The latest research combined computer models with real-world data to forecast the fate of the glaciers. It used 2017 as its starting point. Unlike previous work, these models included how the glaciers move down the mountains. Applying this approach to other glaciated mountain chains could improve ice loss forecasts there.
Cutting the emissions from fossil-fuel burning, deforestation and other polluting activities is the biggest factor in minimizing the melting of the ice. The future of these glaciers is indeed at risk, but there is still a possibility of limiting their disappearance.
28. What does the underlined word “doomed” mean in paragraph 1
A. Polluted. B. Discovered. C. Endangered. D. Abandoned.
29. What can we infer from paragraph 2
A. Emissions have much to do with the ice melting.
B. The Alps is expected to lose all its ice by 2100.
C. Ice loss will be avoided with emissions prevented.
D. Large ice pieces will just exist at the mountain top.
30. Why are the Asia’s ice fields mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To explain how glacier melting came about.
B. To imply pollution is a worldwide problem.
C. To show what consequences ice melting will cause.
D. To indicate the Alps is not alone to face ice melting.
31. What is the writer’s attitude towards the future of glaciers
A. Objective. B. Optimistic. C. Critical. D. Doubtful.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了阿尔卑斯山和亚洲的冰川面临严重威胁，可能在本世纪末融化，文中分析了其原因，同时也提出了解决问题的思路。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后“These glaciers will melt by the end of the century as global temperatures rise, according to a recent study. (根据最近的一项研究，随着全球气温的上升，这些冰川将在本世纪末融化)”可知，冰川将在本世纪末融化，由此推知，划线词所在句中的“阿尔卑斯山的冰川”也面临同样的威胁，结合选项可知，划线词doomed与endangered同义，意为“有危险的”。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Scientists claim that half the ice held in some 4,000 Alpine glaciers will disappear by 2050 due to global warming through the effect of past emissions. After that, even if carbon emissions drop to zero, two-thirds of the ice will still have melted by 2100. If emissions continue to rise at the current rate, the ice tongues will have all but disappeared from Alpine valleys by the end of the century.(科学家们预测，到2050年，由于全球变暖，由于过去排放的影响，阿尔卑斯山4000多座冰川中一半的冰将消失。在那之后，即使碳排放降至零，到2100年仍会有三分之二的冰融化。如果排放量继续以目前的速度增长，到本世纪末，这些冰舌将几乎从阿尔卑斯山谷中消失)”可推知，碳排放与冰融化有很大关系。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“In February, a study found that a third of the huge ice fields in Asia’s towering mountain chains were also under threat for the same reasons.(今年2月，一项研究发现，由于同样的原因，亚洲高耸山脉中三分之一的巨大冰原也面临威胁)”可推知，第四段提到亚洲的冰原是为了表明阿尔卑斯山并不是唯一面临冰融化的地方。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，并结合文章最后一段“Cutting the emissions from fossil-fuel burning, deforestation and other polluting activities is the biggest factor in minimizing the melting of the ice. The future of these glaciers is indeed at risk, but there is still a possibility of limiting their disappearance.(减少化石燃料燃烧、森林砍伐和其他污染活动的排放是最大限度地减少冰融化的最大因素。这些冰川的未来确实处于危险之中，但仍然有可能限制它们的消失)”可知，文中作者表达了对碳排放造成冰川融化的担忧，但同时也提出改变这一情况的可能，所以作者认为冰川的未来取决于人类自身，对冰川的未来持客观的态度。故选A项。
D
In one horrible film plot, AI eventually outsmarts humans and takes over computers and factories. In another, large language models (LLMs) of the sort that power generative AI like ChatGPT give bad guys the know — how to create destructive cyberweapons.
It is time to think hard about these film plots, not because they have become more probable but because policymakers around the world are considering measures to guard against them. The idea that AI could drive humans to extinction is speculative — no one yet knows how such a threat might materialise and no common methods exist for determining what counts as risky. Plenty of research needs to be done before standards and rules can be set.
Governments cannot ignore a technology that could change the world deeply. Regulators have been too slow in the past, but there is danger, too, in acting hurriedly. If they go too fast, policymakers could create global rules that are aimed at the wrong problems and are ineffective against the real ones.
Because of the computing resources and technical skills required, only a handful of companies have so far developed powerful “frontier” models. New hurried regulations could easily block out competitors to the “handful of companies”, especially because these companies are working closely with governments on writing the rule book. A focus on extreme risks is likely to make regulators careful of open-source models, which are freely available and can easily be revised.
The best that governments can do now is to set up the basic systems to study the technology and its potential risks, and ensure that those working on the problem have enough resources. As AI develops further, regulators will have a far better idea of what risks they are guarding against, and consequently what the rule book should look like. A fully mature body could eventually take shape. But creating it will take time and reflection.
32. What does the first paragraph function as
A. An argument. B. An explanation. C. A lead-in. D. A comment.
33. What does the author think of AI driving humans to extinction
A. He believes it is a realistic possibility.
B. He considers it fictional and unworthy for policymakers to pay attention to.
C. He views it as an uncertain threat that needs more research.
D. He perceives it as a seemingly reasonable situation that requires serious consideration.
34. What is the harm of regulators’ going too fast on the AI issue
A Competition in this area is prevented. B. The development of AI is restricted.
C. AI will be applied to a limited degree. D. The public will be misled about danger.
35. Which can be the best title of the text
A. AI: a Real Threat B. Don’t Rush into Policing AI
C. AI: Humans’ Friend or Enemy D. Time for Government to Regulate AI
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是议论文，主要讲的是世界各地的政策制定者正在考虑采取措施来防范人工智能发展太快，但是监管机构在人工智能问题上走得太快是会带来一些坏处的。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。第一段“In one horrible film plot, AI eventually outsmarts humans and takes over computers and factories. In another, large language models (LLMs) of the sort that power generative AI like ChatGPT give bad guys the know — how to create destructive cyberweapons.(在一部恐怖的电影情节中，人工智能最终战胜了人类，接管了电脑和工厂。在另一种情况下，为ChatGPT等生成式人工智能提供动力的大型语言模型(LLMs)为坏人提供了制造破坏性网络武器的技术。)”提到了两个电影情节中人工智能的行为，第二段“It is time to think hard about these film plots, not because they have become more probable but because policymakers around the world are considering measures to guard against them.(现在是认真思考这些电影情节的时候了，不是因为它们变得更有可能发生，而是因为世界各地的政策制定者正在考虑采取措施防范它们。)”说到世界各地的政策制定者正在考虑采取措施防范它们，故第一段的作用就是充当引子，引出主题——针对可能会出现的问题，世界各地的政策制定者正在考虑采取措施防范人工智能。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The idea that AI could drive humans to extinction is speculative—no one yet knows how such a threat might materialise and no common methods exist for determining what counts as risky. Plenty of research needs to be done before standards and rules can be set.(人工智能可能导致人类灭绝的想法是推测性的——没有人知道这种威胁如何实现，也没有通用的方法来确定什么是危险的。在制定标准和规则之前，需要进行大量的研究。)”可知，作者认为人工智能可能导致人类灭绝的想法是推测性的，需要不断研究探索。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“If they go too fast, policymakers could create global rules that are aimed at the wrong problems and are ineffective against the real ones.(如果它们走得太快，政策制定者可能会制定针对错误问题的全球规则，而对真正的问题则无效。)”和第四段“Because of the computing resources and technical skills required, only a handful of companies have so far developed powerful “frontier” models. New hurried regulations could easily block out competitors to the “handful of companies”, especially because these companies are working closely with governments on writing the rule book. (由于需要计算资源和技术技能，迄今为止只有少数公司开发了强大的“前沿”模型。匆忙出台的新法规很容易将“少数公司”的竞争对手拒之门外，尤其是因为这些公司正与政府密切合作制定规则。)”可知，监管机构在人工智能问题上走得太快的坏处是这一领域的竞争受到阻碍。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“If they go too fast, policymakers could create global rules that are aimed at the wrong problems and are ineffective against the real ones.(如果它们走得太快，政策制定者可能会制定针对错误问题的全球规则，而对真正的问题则无效。)”，第四段“Because of the computing resources and technical skills required, only a handful of companies have so far developed powerful “frontier” models. New hurried regulations could easily block out competitors to the “handful of companies”, especially because these companies are working closely with governments on writing the rule book. (由于需要计算资源和技术技能，迄今为止只有少数公司开发了强大的“前沿”模型。匆忙出台的新法规很容易将“少数公司”的竞争对手拒之门外，尤其是因为这些公司正与政府密切合作制定规则。)”和最后一段“As AI develops further, regulators will have a far better idea of what risks they are guarding against, and consequently what the rule book should look like. A fully mature body could eventually take shape. But creating it will take time and reflection. (随着人工智能的进一步发展，监管机构将对自己要防范的风险有更好的了解，从而知道规则手册应该是什么样子。一个完全成熟的身体最终会成形。但创造它需要时间和思考。)”可知，本文主要讲的是世界各地的政策制定者正在考虑采取措施来防范人工智能发展太快，但是监管机构在人工智能问题上走得太快是会带来一些坏处的，因此B项“Don’t Rush into Policing AI(不要急于监管人工智能)”作文章标题最合适。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当别人阅读你的信息后，不回复你时，要学会心平气和的面对，不要让社交软件影响到你的生活。
【36题详解】
根据后文“Here are a few tips.(这里有一些建议)”以及前文“it’s also pretty common.(这种情况很常见）”可知，空处应该是承上启下说明可以应用这些建议避免被影响，所以F项“You can keep the situation from bothering you until you hear back.(你可以避免这种情况困扰你)”符合文意。故选F项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Here are a few other reasons for a delayed response.(以下是延迟响应的其他一些原因。)”以及下文“They put their phone away to focus on work or school. They accidentally forgot to reply. Maybe they thought about what they wanted to say but didn’t actually text it. (他们把手机收起来，专注于工作或学习。他们不小心忘了回复。也许他们想到了他们想说什么，但实际上并没有发短信。)”可知，空处是延迟响应的可能原因，与D项“They want to give you a longer response but can’t right now. (他们想给你更长的回复，但现在不能)”上下文一致，符合文意。故选D项。
【38题详解】
根据前文“Resist the temptation to double- text.(不要信息轰炸对方)”以及后文“If you send a lot of follow- up texts, it’ll be hard for them to keep up and they might get stressed.

It’s okay if you review your message again and notice that it might have been a little unclear—it happens! (看看是否有什么令人困惑的文本需要澄清。如果你再次查看你的信息，并注意到它可能有点不清楚，这是没有关系的——这种情况发生了!)可知，再次查看信息可能会发现一些被误读的东西，与G项“You might feel relieved when you find something that is easy to misread.(可能会感到宽慰，当你发现了一些容易被误读的东西)”上下文一致，符合文意。故选G项。
【40题详解】
根据下句“Keep it out of sight and get some peace of mind.(把它放在你看不到的地方，让你的内心平静下来)”以及后文“Don’t let it upset or confuse you. If you get your mind off any notifications, you’ll be able to brainstorm new ways to spend your time.(不要让它困扰或迷惑你。如果你不去想任何通知，你就能头脑风暴出新的打发时间的方法)”可知，本段主题是把手机放到一边，眼不见，心不烦。与其纠结为什么会被“已读不回”，不如放下手机，做些更有意义的事。所以A项“Put your phone away.(把手机收起来)”起到概括作用，符合文意。故选A项。

To act with integrity was a habit with Susan who always follows the Golden Rule: “Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.” But when she thought over her past conduct a blush of shame crept to her cheeks, as many little acts of selfishness and unkindness came back to her memory. She resolved that for the future, both in great things and small. she would remember and follow the Golden Rule.
It was not long after this that an opportunity occurred, which tried Susan’s principles. One Saturday evening when she went, as usual, to Mr. Thompson’s inn, to receive the money of her mother’s washing for him, which amounted to five dollars, she found Mr. Thompson apparently in a terrible rage with some horse dealers with whom he had been bargaining. He held in his hand an open pocketbook (钱袋子) , full of bills and scarcely noticing Susan as she made her request, except to swear at her for troubling him when he was busy, he handed her a banknote.
Glad to escape so easily, Susan hurried out of the gate. Pausing to put the money safely in her purse, she discovered that he had given her two bills instead of one. She looked around; nobody was near and her first impulse was joy at the unexpected prize.
“It is all mine,” said she to herself. “I will buy my mother a new coat with it, and she can give her old one to my sister Mary, and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter. I wonder if I can buy a pair of shoes for my brother Tom, too.”
At that moment she remembered that he must have given it to her by mistake. But again the voice of the tempter whispered, “He gave it, and how do you know that he did not intend to make you a present of it Keep it! He will never know it, for he had too many such bills in that great pocketbook.”

【答案】 This conflict was going on in her mind between good and evil. she was hurrying home as fast as possible. However, before she got home, the Golden Rule sounded in her ears. Suddenly she turned around and rushed along the road with breathless speed. A few minutes later, she found herself at Mr. Thompson’s inn. He was very surprised to see her.
“Sir, you paid me two bills instead of one,” she handed him the extra note. Moved by the little girl’s honesty, Mr. Thompson pulled out a shilling and offered it to her. Susan refused the money for she didn’t want to be paid for doing right -- she only wished he wouldn’t think her dishonest. Desperate to tell her mother what she had done, Susan waved goodbye to Mr. Thompson and returned to her humble home with a lightened heart. Never would she forget this day through the course of her whole life.

The MLB might not be popular as NFL in other parts of the world, but international supporters still make a large portion of the total fanbase.

NHL
Founded in 1917, the National Hockey League is the second-oldest sports league in the US and Canada and consists of a total of 32 teams. Three of the best performing teams from each division make it to the playoffs plus two wild card teams. All teams compete to win the prestigious Stanley Cup.

A few years ago, my husband Charlie and I had marriage problems. Growing family responsibilities and financial worries took a toll on us and we began arguing frequently, often late into the night.
However, neither of us could take the step that would end our eleven-year marriage and bring heartbreak to our three young children. Deep down we knew we still loved each other, so we determined to work it out. Through countless discussions, we began to close the gulf. The more honest we were, the closer we became. When I felt we were reaching solid ground, I asked my husband to give me an “eternity (永恒) ring”. It was not so much the ring I wanted; it was the reassurance I thought it would bring.
We went shopping on a beautiful summer day. We walked hand in hand along a row of jeweler’s shops. Finally I found a ring I liked. While waiting for it to be adjusted, the jeweler took my left hand and glanced at my engagement ring. “May I clean it for you ” he asked. “It really doesn’t sparkle like it used to.” Charlie said as I slipped the ring off my finger. A few minutes later the jeweler was back. The ring shone like new!
On the drive home, I didn’t take my eyes off it. I forgot all about the eternity ring. I just couldn’t believe how this old ring suddenly sparkled the way it had the day Charlie gave it to me. I had taken it for granted these past years, but with a little polish it could still make my heart beat fast.
And that’s the way it is with a marriage. You have to work at keeping it polished and new, or else the grime (污垢) of the passing years will hide the joy. I put my hand on the seat between us and spread my fingers. Charlie covered my hand with his. I felt I was lucky to be able to see the sparkle in something old when I thought I needed something new.
24. The author and her husband had marriage problems partly because __________.
A. they frequently argued late into the night B. they were lack of money
C. they had countless discussions D. the author wanted to have an eternity ring
25. What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Free of trouble. B. Arriving at a square.
C. Wealthy and generous. D. In good relationship.
26. Why did the author forget all about the eternity ring on their way back home
A. The old ring’s light attracted her attention.
B. She was not satisfied with the eternity ring.
C. Her husband kept it for her.
D. The couple were talking all the way merrily.
27. What does the author mainly want to express in the last paragraph
A. We tend to prefer new objects to old ones.
B. One should remain thankful for what he has got.
C. Marriage should be constantly polished.
D. We should try to rediscover the use of old objects.

Two thirds of the ice in the glaciers (冰川) of the Alps is doomed! These glaciers will melt by the end of the century as global temperatures rise, according to a recent study.
Scientists claim that half the ice held in some 4,000 Alpine glaciers will disappear by 2050 due to global warming through the effect of past emissions. After that, even if carbon emissions drop to zero, two-thirds of the ice will still have melted by 2100. If emissions continue to rise at the current rate, the ice tongues will have all but disappeared from Alpine valleys by the end of the century. The most pessimistic prediction tells us that the Alps will be mostly ice-free by 2100. Only isolated ice patches would remain at high altitudes, representing five per cent, at most, of the ice volume seen today.
The researchers warn that the loss of these glaciers will mean much less water is available for farming and hydroelectricity, especially during droughts. It would also affect nature and tourism.
In February, a study found that a third of the huge ice fields in Asia’s towering mountain chains were also under threat for the same reasons. This will lead to serious consequences for almost two billion people who live downstream. Glaciers along the Hindu Kush and Himalayan range are at higher, colder altitudes. If global carbon emissions are not cut, however, two-thirds of their ice could be gone by 2100.
The latest research combined computer models with real-world data to forecast the fate of the glaciers. It used 2017 as its starting point. Unlike previous work, these models included how the glaciers move down the mountains. Applying this approach to other glaciated mountain chains could improve ice loss forecasts there.
Cutting the emissions from fossil-fuel burning, deforestation and other polluting activities is the biggest factor in minimizing the melting of the ice. The future of these glaciers is indeed at risk, but there is still a possibility of limiting their disappearance.
28. What does the underlined word “doomed” mean in paragraph 1
A. Polluted. B. Discovered. C. Endangered. D. Abandoned.
29. What can we infer from paragraph 2
A. Emissions have much to do with the ice melting.
B. The Alps is expected to lose all its ice by 2100.
C. Ice loss will be avoided with emissions prevented.
D. Large ice pieces will just exist at the mountain top.
30. Why are the Asia’s ice fields mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To explain how glacier melting came about.
B. To imply pollution is a worldwide problem.
C. To show what consequences ice melting will cause.
D. To indicate the Alps is not alone to face ice melting.
31. What is the writer’s attitude towards the future of glaciers
A. Objective. B. Optimistic. C. Critical. D. Doubtful.
D
In one horrible film plot, AI eventually outsmarts humans and takes over computers and factories. In another, large language models (LLMs) of the sort that power generative AI like ChatGPT give bad guys the know — how to create destructive cyberweapons.
It is time to think hard about these film plots, not because they have become more probable but because policymakers around the world are considering measures to guard against them. The idea that AI could drive humans to extinction is speculative — no one yet knows how such a threat might materialise and no common methods exist for determining what counts as risky. Plenty of research needs to be done before standards and rules can be set.
Governments cannot ignore a technology that could change the world deeply. Regulators have been too slow in the past, but there is danger, too, in acting hurriedly. If they go too fast, policymakers could create global rules that are aimed at the wrong problems and are ineffective against the real ones.
Because of the computing resources and technical skills required, only a handful of companies have so far developed powerful “frontier” models. New hurried regulations could easily block out competitors to the “handful of companies”, especially because these companies are working closely with governments on writing the rule book. A focus on extreme risks is likely to make regulators careful of open-source models, which are freely available and can easily be revised.
The best that governments can do now is to set up the basic systems to study the technology and its potential risks, and ensure that those working on the problem have enough resources. As AI develops further, regulators will have a far better idea of what risks they are guarding against, and consequently what the rule book should look like. A fully mature body could eventually take shape. But creating it will take time and reflection.
32. What does the first paragraph function as
A. An argument. B. An explanation. C. A lead-in. D. A comment.
33. What does the author think of AI driving humans to extinction
A. He believes it is a realistic possibility.
B. He considers it fictional and unworthy for policymakers to pay attention to.
C. He views it as an uncertain threat that needs more research.
D. He perceives it as a seemingly reasonable situation that requires serious consideration.
34. What is the harm of regulators’ going too fast on the AI issue
A. Competition in this area is prevented. B. The development of AI is restricted.
C. AI will be applied to a limited degree. D. The public will be misled about danger.
35. Which can be the best title of the text
A. AI: a Real Threat B. Don’t Rush into Policing AI
C. AI: Humans’ Friend or Enemy D. Time for Government to Regulate AI

67. 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。
To act with integrity was a habit with Susan who always follows the Golden Rule: “Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.” But when she thought over her past conduct, a blush of shame crept to her cheeks, as many little acts of selfishness and unkindness came back to her memory. She resolved that for the future, both in great things and small. she would remember and follow the Golden Rule.
It was not long after this that an opportunity occurred, which tried Susan’s principles. One Saturday evening when she went, as usual, to Mr. Thompson’s inn, to receive the money of her mother’s washing for him, which amounted to five dollars, she found Mr. Thompson apparently in a terrible rage with some horse dealers with whom he had been bargaining. He held in his hand an open pocketbook (钱袋子) , full of bills and scarcely noticing Susan as she made her request, except to swear at her for troubling him when he was busy, he handed her a banknote.
Glad to escape so easily, Susan hurried out of the gate. Pausing to put the money safely in her purse, she discovered that he had given her two bills instead of one. She looked around; nobody was near and her first impulse was joy at the unexpected prize.
“It is all mine,” said she to herself. “I will buy my mother a new coat with it, and she can give her old one to my sister Mary, and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter. I wonder if I can buy a pair of shoes for my brother Tom, too.”
At that moment she remembered that he must have given it to her by mistake. But again the voice of the tempter whispered, “He gave it, and how do you know that he did not intend to make you a present of it Keep it! He will never know it, for he had too many such bills in that great pocketbook.”
