Sasha Masakowski remembers being six years old, seated at the piano next to her father — the well-known jazz guitarist, Steve Masakowski.
“He’d play harmonies in the background on the guitar, and he’d encourage me to improvise (即兴演奏),” Sasha recalls. “He’d tell me to play something using just the white keys or just the black keys, and I’d make up music.” She says she was a little composer playing along with her dad in their New Orleans home. “I love those memories,” she adds.
As Sasha got older, though, her interest in jazz began to flag. Sasha went to a local arts high school and focused on musical theater. Steve admits to hoping his daughter would develop a love for jazz.
The father’s expectation was eventually met when the daughter rediscovered jazz music. Sasha says she admired a guy in the jazz department and on the day they met, the first thing he said was, “I’m such a big fan of your dad’s!” She says the experience helped her realize that her father and his music were, in fact, cool. Finally, Sasha decided to study jazz instead of musical theater at the University of New Orleans, where her father headed the Jazz Studies Program.
Now, Sasha and Steve love playing together and they treasure the common language jazz gives them. Both compose music, but while her father is more focused on traditional jazz and teaching, Sasha likes to produce music with more electronic trends than Steve’s. Despite different interests, Steve’s pride in his daughter is clear. Today, Sasha is known for her musicality and her ability to improvise. “Improvising scares a lot of singers, but for me I feel like a little composer again at the piano next to my dad. I love it in large part because of him,” Sasha says.
14. What do we know about young Sasha
A. She was well-known as a jazz guitarist.
B. She learned to compose when she’s little.
C. She was good at improvising on a piano.
D. She performed with her father worldwide.

College and high-school teachers are expressing concern about ChatGPT, an AI program that allows people with limited writing skills to create high-quality texts. It calls into question how and why we teach writing at all. If AI can do a fairly good job at most writing tasks, why spend so much time learning writing in school
In fact, learning to write goes beyond just mastering grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure. It involves much more. For one thing, it’s about learning to turn a loose set of thoughts into a clear line of reasoning — a skill that is useful for everyone, not just those who enjoy writing or need to do a lot of it for work.
Learning to write also trains your imagination to construct the person who will read your words. It puts you in relation to someone you may not know, someone who may even not exist. When you learn to write, you learn to meet their needs in an unfamiliar context. Even ordinary assignments teach students to predict what another person knows and expects.
Writing is never simply self-expression. It’s expression to a specific audience for a specific purpose. In some cases, like a love letter, a writer knows their audience very well. In others, the audience is every bit a work of the imagination as a novel’s characters are. Writers, then, should give up trying to address the public at large, but should imagine that a friend, though not the closest friend, is listening to our talk.
When this act of imagination is done well, a reader can feel deeply understood, as if a stranger has told them some previously unknown truth about themselves. That’s how I felt reading “Difference Maker” — an essay about parenthood. While our situations were unique, naming the problem provided a deeper understanding.
It seems unavoidable that large-language models of AI will allow us to offload some of the writing tasks that students learn in school. But we can’t allow ourselves to lose the capacity to empathize (共情) with distant strangers at just the moment when we’re more able than ever to communicate with them.
18. What is teachers’ concern about ChatGPT
A. It’s a challenge to apply it to teaching. B. It’s hard to grade a paper written by it.
C. It limits students’ imagination and creativity. D. It questions the necessity of teaching writing.
19. What does the author think of learning to write
A. It helps with logical thinking. B. It is a basic skill for everyone.
C. It focuses on correct expression. D. It is closely related to social skills.
20. What makes writing effective according to the text
A. Expressing oneself. B. Targeting intended readers.
C. Conveying imaginative ideas. D. Creating attractive characters.
21 What may be a suitable title for the text
A. What AI Can’t Teach the Writing Students B. ChatGPT Writing VS Traditional Writing
C. Never Lose the Capacity for Empathy D. What Is the Future for AI Writing
D
Across the world, studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in reading. These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and have a more positive attitude toward reading.
There are several reasons that help explain these gender-based differences. Parents read more with their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage. Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents.
So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially-engineered gap for boys’ reading
To improve boys’ reading performance, parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading. This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so-called “boy-friendly” books that boys supposedly “prefer” These are typically assumed to be non-fiction works, as many people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction.
But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read non-fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability.
Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books. Firstly, don’t assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests.
Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling. Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class. Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading.
In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model. Let your children or students see you read for pleasure.
22. According to the author, what is the main cause of the difference in boys’ and girls’ reading ability
A Social factors.
B. Teaching methods.
C. Personal preferences.
D. Psychological differences.
23. Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading
A. To persuade boys to read more often.
B. To learn what boys are most interested in.
C. To help boys improve their language ability.
D. To show that adults are good reading role models.
24. When should schools give students additional library access according to the author
A. Before and after class.
B. At any time of the school day.
C. At regular times during class.
D. When they are in the lower grades.
25. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To show students ways to improve their reading.
B. To explain why boys are not as good at reading as girls.
C. To urge governments to provide more reading resources.
D. To provide strategies that can help improve boys’ reading ability.

Finally, the bell rang. “Don’t forget to practice your class presentation at home!” Miss Bella cried as everyone started talking and packing their school bags. Jessy felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her. Once, when Jessy was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jessy watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain so rt of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jessy sighed. As she turned the corner, she saw Lee’s watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jessy knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn’t want to run after him. Jessy bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jessy put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her. “I’m going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I’ve won lots of competitions. But when I’m in a race, I’m not really thinking about winning. I’m just loving the feeling of being in the water...”Jessy laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain so rt of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jessy saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee’s watch really did have something magic about it.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Bella asked who was going to be brave and go first. Nobody moved. Jessy slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Bella could say anything, there was a shout from behind. “She’s stolen my watch!” Lee said angrily, “It went missing at school yesterday.”

Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jessy, waiting for an explanation.

Miss Bella smiled and asked the class to listen to Jessy’s speech first.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。虽然人工智能可以完成高水平的写作任务，但有些东西是它无法做到的，例如写作可以把一套松散的想法变成一条清晰的推理线，写作训练人们的想象力，针对不同的目标读者写作方式不同。
【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“If AI can do a fairly good job at most writing tasks, why spend so much time learning writing in school (如果人工智能在大多数写作任务中都能做得相当好，那为什么要花那么多时间在学校学习写作呢？)”可知，关于ChatGPT，老师关注是它质疑教学写作的必要性。故选D。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“For one thing, it’s about learning to turn a loose set of thoughts into a clear line of reasoning — a skill that is useful for everyone, not just those who enjoy writing or need to do a lot of it for work.(首先，它是关于学习将一套松散的想法变成一条清晰的推理线——这是一项对每个人都有用的技能，而不仅仅是那些喜欢写作或需要为工作做很多事情的人)”可知，作者认为学习写作有助于逻辑思维。故选A。

【21题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段“College and high-school teachers are expressing concern about ChatGPT, an AI program that allows people with limited writing skills to create high-quality texts. It calls into question how and why we teach writing at all. If AI can do a fairly good job at most writing tasks, why spend so much time learning writing in school (大学和高中教师对ChatGPT表达了担忧，这是一个人工智能程序，可以让写作技能有限的人创作高质量的文本。这引发了我们如何以及为什么要教写作的问题。如果人工智能在大多数写作任务中都能做得相当好，那为什么要花那么多时间在学校学习写作呢？)”可知，虽然人工智能可以完成高水平的写作任务，但有些东西是它无法做到的，例如写作可以把一套松散的想法变成一条清晰的推理线，写作训练人们的想象力，针对不同的目标读者写作方式不同。因此A选项“人工智能不能教给写作学生的东西”最符合文章标题。故选A。
D
Across the world, studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in reading. These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and have a more positive attitude toward reading.
There are several reasons that help explain these gender-based differences. Parents read more with their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage. Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents.
So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially-engineered gap for boys’ reading
To improve boys’ reading performance, parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading. This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so-called “boy-friendly” books that boys supposedly “prefer” These are typically assumed to be non-fiction works, as many people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction.
But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read non-fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability.
Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books. Firstly, don’t assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests.
Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling. Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class. Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading.
In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model. Let your children or students see you read for pleasure.
22. According to the author, what is the main cause of the difference in boys’ and girls’ reading ability
A. Social factors.
B. Teaching methods.
C. Personal preferences.
D. Psychological differences.
23. Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading
A. To persuade boys to read more often.
B. To learn what boys are most interested in.
C. To help boys improve their language ability.
D. To show that adults are good reading role models.
24. When should schools give students additional library access according to the author
A. Before and after class.
B. At any time of the school day.
C. At regular times during class.
D. When they are in the lower grades.
25. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To show students ways to improve their reading.
B. To explain why boys are not as good at reading as girls.
C. To urge governments to provide more reading resources.
D. To provide strategies that can help improve boys’ reading ability.
【答案】22. A 23. B 24. C 25. D

推理判断题。根据第六段Firstly, don’t assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time.

【解析】
【详解】考查过去分词。句意：他沉浸在自己的音乐世界中，感觉自己好像可以“看到”周围世界的美丽，就像他在以前的生活中那样。本句的谓语部分为felt，且前后之间没有连词连接，所以空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语he和absorb之间是动宾关系，所以应用过去分词，作状语，句首单词首字母应大写。故填Absorbed。

【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：我清楚地听到那个人在雨中大声喊叫。hear that…句型可以用“hear+宾语+宾补”结构替换。原句中的was shouting表示动作正在进行，所以这里应用hear sb. doing sth.，表示“听见某人正在做某事”，现在分词作宾补。这里指那个人，应用the man作宾语。原句使用了一般过去时，这里也应用一般过去时。故填heard；the；man；shouting。

→_______________________________________________________________
【答案】Nanshe Ancient Village where I stayed with my family last year has unique scenery.
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：去年我和家人一起住的南社古村景色独特。原句中，第二句的there指代第一句的Nanshe Ancient Village，作地点状语，所以可用Nanshe Ancient Village作先行词，将第二句改为where引导的定语从句。故答案为：Nanshe Ancient Village where I stayed with my family last year has unique scenery.
62. He succeeded in the final contest due to hard work instead of good luck. (强调划线部分) (句型转换)
→_______________________________________________________________
【答案】It was due to hard work instead of good luck that he succeeded in the final contest.

【详解】考查强调句型和时态。句意：他在决赛中获胜不是靠运气，而是靠努力。根据题目要求可知使用强调句型“It+be+被强调部分+that/who（指人可以用who）+句子其他部分”改写句子。结合succeeded可知句子时态为一般过去时，所以be动词用was；被强调部分为due to hard work instead of good luck，强调句型中用that。故答案为It was due to hard work instead of good luck that he succeeded in the final contest.
63. 在过去的20年里，人们的生活极大地被智能手机改变了。（汉译英）
_______________________________________________________________
【答案】Over the past 20 years, people’s lives have been dramatically changed by smartphones.
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语、动词、名词和副词。表示“在过去的20年里”为短语over the past 20 years；表示“人们的生活”用people’s lives，作主语；表示“改变”应用动词change，与主语构成被动关系，此处用现在完成时的被动语态；表示“极大地”应用副词dramatically；表示“被智能手机”为by smartphones。故翻译为Over the past 20 years, people’s lives have been dramatically changed by smartphones.

Jessy knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn’t want to run after him. Jessy bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jessy put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her. “I’m going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I’ve won lots of competitions. But when I’m in a race, I’m not really thinking about winning. I’m just loving the feeling of being in the water...”Jessy laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain so rt of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jessy saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee’s watch really did have something magic about it.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Bella asked who was going to be brave and go first. Nobody moved. Jessy slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Bella could say anything, there was a shout from behind. “She’s stolen my watch!” Lee said angrily, “It went missing at school yesterday.”

【答案】Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jessy, waiting for an explanation. A flush of embarrassment came to her cheeks, making Jessy biting her lips. Dead silence suddenly fell. Then came Miss Bella’s voice, “Why is Lee’s watch on your wrist ” Jessy hesitated for a while and decided to tell the truth. However, on second thoughts of the well-prepared speech and the magic of the watch, she changed her mind. “Miss Bella, could I give the speech first and then explain ” She made a request in a tone of begging.
Miss Bella smiled and asked the class to listen to Jessy’s speech first. Jessy put away her fright, took a deep breath, and made for the platform. Casting a glance at the sea of faces watching her, Jessy cleared her throat and began her speech. “I’m going to talk about swimming...” Word began to flood out of her. “What a terrific speech.” Whispers went around the classroom, and even Miss Bella nodded with approval. Immediately Jessy finished her speech, a storm of applause erupted from the class. Relieved, Jessy told everyone the truth, and especially the magic of the watch. She returned the watch to Lee as she eventually realized the real source of confidence.
