One summer night in a seaside cottage, a boy felt himself lifted from bed. Then, with the
swiftness of a dream, he was held in his father’s arms out onto the nearby beach. Overhead the sky
blazed with stars. “Watch!” Incredibly, as his father spoke, one of the stars moved. In a line of
golden fire it flashed across the astonished heavens. And before the wonder of this could fade,
another star leaped from its place, then another, plunging towards the restless sea.
“What’s this ” the child whispered.
“Shooting stars. They come every year on a certain August night. I thought you’d like to see
the show.”
That was all: just an unexpected glimpse of something mysterious and beautiful. But, back in
bed, the child stared for a long time into the dark, knowing that all around the quiet house, the
night was full of the silent music of the falling stars.
Decades have passed, but I remember that night still, because I was the fortunate boy whose
father believed that a new experience was more important for a small boy than an unbroken
night’s sleep. No doubt I had all the usual childhood entertainment, but those are forgotten now.
What I remember is the night of the shooting stars, and the day we rode in a caboose (列车末尾的
职工车厢), the telegraph we made that really worked, and the “trophy table” in the dining room
where we children were encouraged to exhibit things we had found — anything unusual or
beautiful — snake skins, seashells, flowers, arrowheads... I remember the thought-provoking (引
人深思的) books left by my bedside that pushed back my horizons and sometimes actually
changed my life.
My father had, to a marvellous degree, the gift of opening doors for his children, of leading
them into areas of splendid newness. This subtle art of adding dimensions to a child’s world
doesn’t necessarily require a great deal of time. It simply involves doing things more often with
our children instead of for them or to them.
24. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean
A. The child was still immersed in the beautiful scenery just now.

B. The child was too frightened to fall asleep because of darkness.
C. The child wanted to listen more to the music about falling stars.
D. The child felt grateful to his father for what he showed him.
25. All the things the author remember from his childhood are ________.
A. unusual and novel B. dangerous and demanding
C. strange and uncommon D. educational and thought-provoking
26. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Parents should interfere more with their children’s learning.
B. Parents should push their children to try to do everything on their own.
C. Parents should devote energy to exploring new things for their children.
D. Parents should encourage children to be curious and explore new things in life.
27. What’s the best title for this passage
A. Limitless knowledge B. Father, the hero of my life
C. Curiosity aroused that night D. The unusual things in my life

Computer scientist Pascale Fung can imagine a bright future in which AI helpers like
ChatGPT bridge language barriers. In that world, Indonesian store owners fluent only in local
dialects might reach new shoppers by listing their products online in English.
“It can open opportunities,” Fung says—then pauses. She’s spotted the bias (偏好) in her
vision of a more interconnected future: The AI-aided shopping would be one-sided, because few
Americans would bother to use AI translation to help research products advertised in Indonesian.
Fung, director of the Center for AI Research at the Hong Kong University of Science and
Technology, who herself speaks seven languages, sees this bias in her own field. Fung would like
to see Al change that, not further strengthen the primary position of English.
Fung is part of a global community of AI researchers testing the language skills of ChatGPT
and sounding the alarm about evidence that they are significantly less capable in languages other
than English. “One of my biggest concerns is that we’re going to exacerbate the bias for English
and English speakers,” says Thien Huu Nguyen, a University of Oregon computer scientist.
“People are going to follow the norm (标准) and not think about their own identities or culture. It
kills innovation.”
The AI systems are good at translating other languages into English, but they struggle with
rewriting English into other languages. Nguyen’s study reports that tests on ChatGPT in March
showed it performed substantially (基本上) worse at answering factual questions or summarizing
complex text in non-English languages and was more likely to fabricate (捏造) information. “This
is an English sentence, so there is no way to translate it to Vietnamese,” the robot responded
inaccurately to one question.
At a US conference, Senator Alex Padilla of California asked Sam Altman, CEO of
ChatGPT’s creator, OpenAI, which is based in the state, what his company is doing to close the
language gap. About 44 percent of Californians speak language other than English. Padilla, who
also speaks Spanish, is questioning about the systems delivering fair linguistic (语言的) outcomes
without big shifts in strategies by their developers.
28. What’s Fung’s attitude to the non-English language skills of ChatGPT
A. Optimistic. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
29. What does the underlined word “exacerbate” mean in Paragraph 3
高三英语 第 4 页，共 9 页
{#{QQABRQIUogAoQJAAABgCAQGKCAIQkAEAASgOhAAIoAABQAFABAA=}#}
A. Restrict. B. Worsen. C. Encourage. D. Disturb.
30. What is in line with Nguyen’s study regarding ChatGPT
A. It struggles with turning English to other languages.
B. It performs better in translating into English.
C. It excels in non-English language translation.
D. It tends to invent information in translations.
31. What’s the most suitable title for the text
A. ChatGPT: Exposing linguistic bias
B. ChatGPT: AI Translation Revolution
C. ChatGPT: Bridging Language Barriers
D. ChatGPT: Leaving Non-English Out in AI
D
When we encounter a troublesome problem, we often gather a group to brainstorm. However,
substantial evidence has shown that when we generate ideas together, we fail to maximize
collective intelligence.
To unearth the hidden potential in teams, we’re better off shifting to a process called
“brainwriting”. You start by asking group members to write down what is going on in their brains
separately. Next, you pool them and share them among the group without telling the authors. Then,
each member evaluates them on his or her own, only after which do the team members come
together to select and improve the most promising options. By developing and assessing ideas
individually before choosing and expanding on them, the team can surface and advance
possibilities that might not get attention otherwise.
An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped underground in
Chile. Given the urgency of the situation, the rescue team didn’t hold brainstorming sessions.
Rather, they established a global brainwriting system to generate individual ideas. A 24-year-old
engineer came up with a tiny plastic telephone. This specialized tool ended up becoming the only
means of communicating with the miners, making it possible to save them.
Research by organizational behavior scholar Anita Woolley and her colleagues helps to
explain why this method works. They find that the key to collective intelligence is balanced
participation. In brainstorming meetings, it’s too easy for participation to become one-sided in
favor of the loudest voices. The brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table
and all voices are brought into conversation. The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the room.
It’s to make the room smarter.
Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesn’t end there. Individuals
produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone. That means they not
only come up with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas. Therefore, it takes
collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and bring out the best ideas.
32. What is special about brainwriting compared with brainstorming
A. It highlights independent work. B. It encourages group cooperation.
C. It prioritizes quality over quantity. D. It prefers writing to oral exchanges.
33. Why does the author mention the Chile mining accident in paragraph 3
A. To introduce a tool developed during brainwriting.
B. To praise a young man with brainwriting technique.
C. To illustrate a successful application of brainwriting.

D. To explain the role of brainwriting in communication.
34. How does brainwriting promote collective intelligence according to paragraph 4
A. By blocking the loudest voices. B. By allowing equal involvement.
C. By improving individual wisdom. D. By generating more creative ideas.
35. Which step of brainwriting does the author stress in the last paragraph
A. Individual writing. B. Group sharing.
C. Personal evaluation. D. Joint discussion.

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。
Being overly emotional may mean reacting to negative feelings quickly instead of letting
your intelligence weigh in. Chances are that you are relating to your emotions in a way that isn’t
always constructive if you feel overly emotional. 36 Here are approaches to make it.
Identify your emotions. It’s important to know what you feel so that you can address each
emotion appropriately. 37 If you feel anger, for instance, you may start to notice your
breathing quickening, your muscles tensing, or your skin feeling flushed. If you’re happy, you
may notice smiling or feelings of lightness in your limbs.
Interpret each emotion’s message. 38 For instance, you may feel anxiety as a way to
express fear of something. Emotions can set off emotional or physical perceived stressors that we
choose to move toward or away from. When your emotions come up, ask them what they are
conveying to you.
Increase your empathy (共情 ). Empathy means observing your emotions less but the
emotions of those around you more. If you find yourself focusing largely on your own emotions,
take a step back and notice the emotions of the people around you. 39 Increasing your
empathy helps you relate to people more effectively, respect their emotional experience, and take
the spotlight off of yourself.
40 Sometimes it’s difficult to relate to your emotions positively or cannot find ways to
control your emotions. A therapist (治疗师) can help you process your difficult emotions while
also providing an opportunity for you to release your emotions in a positive and constructive way.
Your therapist should be someone you can trust and with whom you are comfortable sharing
personal or embarrassing things.
A. Turn to professional aid.
B. Challenge your negative emotions.
C. Often, you feel emotions as a communication system.
D. However, it’s vital to listen to your emotions in beneficial ways.
E. Consider their emotional experience and recognize how they feel.
F. Reflect on how your body reacts when you notice an emotion coming through.
G. It means you allow your thoughts to come and observe them without judgement.

At one time children made May Day baskets to celebrate spring and enjoy the rewards of
giving surprising gifts to their beloved ones. When I was in perhaps the third grade, our class took
on such an adventure. For several days, we worked on creating paper baskets. We cut colorful
stripes of construction paper and wove them together, following our teacher, Miss Anderson. We
cut and wove and glued. Then we decorated them with our crayons and more cutting and gluing.
Finally, we fitted paper handles onto the tops so that we could secretly hang our creations on the
doors of unsuspecting receivers: surely our mothers.
We were finished right on time. Miss Anderson brought armloads of flowers for us to use in
stuffing our prizes. Lilacs and tulips and al the colorful flowers of spring. We had to wait until the
day was nearly over before we were allowed to choose the flowers that were just right for our
baskets. I chose the biggest, most beautiful blossoms, allowing myself to be selfish for the sake of
my mother. Then we fidgeted (烦躁) away what remained of our day, waiting for the clock to tick
down the minutes to our release.
Finally, mercifully, the bell rang! We threw on our coats, gathered our homework and our

lunch boxes, tied on our scarves and then, carefully, we cradled our offerings of love and off we
ran to our individual homes! I was so excited! I ran as fast as I could down the hill, across the
street, up the block, heading home. I paused at the corner of my house, to catch my breath and
savor the moment. Then I glanced down to admire my offering one last time before I hung it
lovingly over the doorknob. Horrors! Shock, dread and depression! My flowers were gone!
Apparently, bouncing out on my mad dash home, all that was left was a sad, messed-up, wrinkled
little empty basket! I stood on the doorway and burst into mournful sobbing tears.

25．推理判断题。根据第五段中的“I was the fortunate boy whose father believed that a new experience was more important for a small boy than an unbroken night’s sleep(我是一个幸运的男孩，他的父亲认为，对一个小男孩来说，一次新的经历比一个完整夜晚的睡眠更重要)”和“What I remember is the night of the shooting stars, and the day we rode in a caboose (列车末尾的职工车厢), the telegraph we made that really worked, and the ‘trophy table’ in the dining room where we children were encouraged to exhibit things we had found — anything unusual or beautiful — snake skins, seashells, flowers, arrowheads...(我记得的是流星的夜晚，我们坐在列车末尾的职工车厢里的那一天，我们制作的真的很管用的电报，还有餐厅里的‘奖杯桌’，在那里我们这些孩子被鼓励展示我们发现的东西——任何不寻常或美丽的东西——蛇皮、贝壳、花、箭头……)”可推出，作者记得的童年里的那些事物都非常独特、新颖。故选A。
26．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“My father had, to a marvellous degree, the gift of opening doors for his children, of leading them into areas of splendid newness. (我父亲有一种了不起的天赋，那就是为他的孩子们打开大门，带领他们进入一个崭新的领域。)”可知，父亲为他的孩子们打开大门，带领他们进入一个崭新的领域，激发出了他们探索的兴趣。由此可推测出，父母应该鼓励孩子们保持好奇心，探索生活中的新事物。故选D
27．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文首先描述了几十年前的一个夏日夜晚父亲抱起熟睡的作者，带作者去看流星，再根据第五段中的“Decades have passed, but I remember that night still, because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed that a new experience was more important for a small boy than an unbroken night’s sleep.(几十年过去了，但我仍然记得那个夜晚，因为我是一个幸运的男孩，他的父亲认为，对一个小男孩来说，一次新的经历比一个完整的夜晚更重要。)”和最后一段中的“My father had, to a marvellous degree, the gift of opening doors for his children, of leading them into areas of splendid newness. (我父亲有一种了不起的天赋，那就是为他的孩子们打开大门，带领他们进入一个崭新的领域。)”可知，那个夜晚父亲让作者体验了新的事物，父亲总能够激发孩子们去探索新事物，使孩子保持好奇心。由此可推测出，C项“那晚激发的好奇心”最适合作本文标题。故选C。
【C】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了AI系统擅长将其他语言翻译成英语，但它们在将英语改写成其他语言时却很吃力，Chat GPT 正在将非英语语言排除在人工智能革命之外。
28．推理判断题。根据文章第二段““It can open opportunities,” Fung says—then pauses. She’s spotted the bias (偏好) in her vision of a more interconnected future: The Al-aided shopping would be one-sided, because few Americans would bother to use AI translation to help research products advertised in Indonesian.(“它可以打开机会，”Fung说，然后停顿了一下。她发现了她对更加互联的未来的设想中的偏见：人工智能辅助购物将是片面的，因为很少有美国人会费心使用人工智能翻译来帮助研究印尼语广告中的产品。)”和文章第三段“Fung is part of a global community of AI researchers testing the language skills of ChatGPT and sounding the alarm about evidence that they are significantly less capable in languages other than English.(Fung是全球人工智能研究人员社区的一员，他们测试了ChatGPT的语言技能，并对有证据表明他们在英语以外的语言能力上明显较差发出了警告。)”可知，Fung发现了自己对更加互联的未来的设想中的偏好：人工智能辅助的购物将是片面的，此外，人工智能在非英语的语言方面能力明显不足。由此可推知，Fung对ChatGPT翻译成其他语言能力持怀疑态度。故选C。
29．词句猜测题。第二段“She’s spotted the bias (偏好) in her vision of a more interconnected future: ...sees this bias in her own field.”多次提到“bias（偏好）”，说明全球人工智能研究人员对人工智能在非英语语言方面的能力有偏见，根据上文“Fung is part of a global community of AI researchers testing the language skills of ChatGPT and sounding the alarm about evidence that they are significantly less capable in languages other than English.(Fung是全球人工智能研究人员社区的一员，他们测试了ChatGPT的语言技能，并对有证据表明他们在英语以外的语言能力上明显较差发出了警告。)”可知，ChatGPT语言技能存在缺陷，此处指Fung最担心的是他们的研究和行为将加剧对英语和英语使用者的偏见，因此“exacerbate”的含义是“使恶化，加剧”。故选B。
30．推理判断题。根据第四段“Nguyen’s study reports that tests on ChatGPT in March showed it performed substantially worse at answering factual questions or summarizing complex text in non-English languages and was more likely to fabricate (捏造) information.( Nguyen的研究报告称，3月份对ChatGPT的测试显示，它在回答非英语事实性问题或总结复杂文本方面的表现要差得多，而且更有可能编造信息。)”可知，Nguyen的研究汇报显示，ChatGPT无法准确回答非英语语言中的事实问题或总结复杂的文本，并且更容易捏造信息。因此，ChatGPT在将英语转换成其他语言方面遇到了困难。故选A。
31．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Fung is part of a global community of AI researchers testing the language skills of ChatGPT and sounding the alarm about evidence that they are significantly less capable in languages other than English.(Fung是全球人工智能研究人员社区的一员，他们测试了ChatGPT的语言技能，并对有证据表明他们在英语以外的语言能力上明显较差发出了警告。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了AI系统擅长将其他语言翻译成英语，但它们在将英语改写成其他语言时却很吃力，Chat GPT 正在将非英语语言排除在人工智能革命之外。D项：ChatGPT: Leaving Non-English Out in AI(ChatGPT：将非英语排除在AI之外)是合适的标题。故选D。
【D】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。大量证据表明，当我们运用头脑风暴共同产生想法时，我们无法最大限度地提高集体智慧。为了挖掘团队中隐藏的潜力，我们最好进行“书面头脑风暴法”。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“You start by asking group members to write down what is going on in their brains separately. Next, you pool them and share them among the group without telling the authors. Then, each member evaluates them on his or her own, only after which do the team members come together to select and improve the most promising options. (你首先要求小组成员分别写下他们大脑中发生的事情。接下来，你将它们汇集在一起，并在不告诉作者的情况下在小组中共享。然后，每个成员自己对其进行评估，只有在评估之后，团队成员才会聚集在一起，选择并改进最有希望的选项。)”可知，与头脑风暴相比，书面头脑风暴法的特别之处在于它强调独立工作。故选A。
33．推理判断题。根据第三段的首句“An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped underground in Chile. (2010年，智利有33名矿工被困井下，这就是一个伟大的脑力写作的例子。)”可推知，作者在本段提到智利的采矿事故是为了说明书面头脑风暴法的成功应用。故选C。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into conversation. The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the room. (书面头脑风暴法确保所有的想法都能被带到桌面上，所有的声音都能被带入对话。我们的目标不是成为房间里最聪明的人。)”可知，书面头脑风暴法要求每个人都参与，贡献自己的智慧。因此，通过允许平等参与促进集体智力。故选B。
35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesn’t end there. Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone. That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas. Therefore, it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and bring out the best ideas. (集体智慧始于个人创造力，但它并没有就此结束。当个人独自工作时，他们会产生更多的新颖想法。这意味着他们不仅提出了比团体更聪明的想法，而且提出了更可怕的想法。因此，需要集体判断才能在噪声中找到信号并提出最佳想法。)”可知，集体智慧始于个人创造力，但是在个人产生想法后，要有集体判断才能得到最佳想法。因此本段强调了共同讨论的重要性。故选D。
【七选五】

67.大作文范文：
By and by, my mom came to the door to discover the source of the sorrow. As she let me in and relieved me of my school things, I tried to relate my horrible dilemma and the depth of my sadness. Mom listened attentively, and her comforting presence brought a glimmer of hope to my disappointed heart. Having wiped my tears tenderly, she gave me the scissors fetched from the kitchen and suggested I find some replacement flowers from our garden. This time, I chose smaller and more resilient flowers, carefully arranging them inside the basket. Seeing each petal radiating the purest colors of spring, I felt my enthusiasm began to return.
Soon, my newly-decorated basket was ready to be offered again. With the revived basket cradled in my arms, I embarked on a second journey towards home. Awkwardly, I placed the paper handle over the knob, knocked hesitantly, and made an embarrassed retreat. Mom slowly came and answered the door. Oh! She was SO surprised! I stepped out of my hiding place. “Well, Mary!” she exclaimed! “Look what someone left here! Aren’t they lovely! “ With her excitement all my worries vanished. My pride of giving barely allowed me to maintain the surprise but what mattered was to show mom she was remembered on this special day.
