Earlier this year, Bad Bunny rejected a saying that he was about to release a new song with Justin
Bieber. But last month, a song featuring what sounded like his and Bieber’s voices started spreading on
TikTok, gaining millions of likes. Bad Bunny hadn’t lied, though: the song was created with AI. An
artist named FlowGPT had used AI technology to recreate the voices of Bad Bunny, Bieber and Daddy
Yankee. Bad Bunny himself hated it, discouraging his fans from listening. But many fans of all three
stars loved it all the same.
The song and the polarized reactions to it show how AI has stormed the music industry in a
troublesome way. Over the past couple of years, advancements in machine learning have made it
possible for anyone sitting in their homes to reproduce the sound of their favourite musicians.
Some boosters argue that these advancements will allow anyone with an idea to create music. But
some artists have reacted with anger that something so personal as their voice or musical style could be
commercialised for someone else’s gain. The push-and-pull between protecting artists, driving
innovations, and determining the supportive roles for man and machine in music creation will be
explored for years to come.
The singer-songwriter Holly Herndon is among the artists trying to get ahead of these changes.
She created an imitation of her own voice called Holly+, allowing anyone to transform their own voice
into hers. The purpose of the project is not to force other artists to also surrender (让出) their voices,
but to encourage them to also take on an active role in these larger conversations. “I think it’s an
opportunity to rethink what the role of the artist is,” she tells TIME. “There’s a way to still have some
control over the digital version of yourself, but be more playful and less strict.”
24. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By making a comparison. B. By presenting a survey.
公众号：高三试卷群 公众号：高一高二高三试卷群 公众号：初三高三试卷群 公众号：高三资料 高三试卷 公众号：高三资料群
C. By quoting an incident. D. By sharing a song.
25. What does the underlined phrase “The push-and-pull” in paragraph 3 mean
A. The competition. B. The responsibility. C. The equality. D. The balance.
26. What is the purpose of creating Holly+
A. To involve artists in AI discussions.
B. To challenge artists’ traditional role.
C. To commercially use the digital voice.
D. To offer ideas for fans’ music creation.
27. What does the text mainly convey about AI music
A. Its popularity. B. Its controversy. C. Its feature. D. Its profit.
C
Have you ever imagined an insect-inspired robot, which weighs less than a gram, could one day
help out in surgery
Scientists have designed this small, “insect-bot” called mCLARI that can control and even change
its body shape as it travels in different environments to fit through gaps. It’s 2 centimeters long, weighs
less than 0.97 grams and can travel at a speed of 6 centimeters per second.It’s the smaller, faster
replacement to CLARI, which was designed by the same team.
“Because of the robot’s small size and ability to change shape, we expect usage of this technology
in four important areas,” the lead author Kaushik Jayaram said. These include disaster response, check
on high-value objects, environmental monitoring and medical treatment.
“In the long term, we hope such robots will be used more widely in moving through human bodies
and performing surgeries that can’t be easily done at present,” Jayaram said. With mCLARI, Jayaram’s
team is moving closer to creating robots that can fit in different environments—just like the insects
they’re inspired by.
The mCLARI robot has four legs and can move in narrow spaces by changing between running
forward and side-to-side and can use different speeds in human bodies. Its legs are joined to its body
through joints, which enables mCLARI to change its body shape based on the environment it is in. For
example, its legs can be lengthened up to 50% in certain spaces.
As follow-up work, the scientists want to give mCLARI more power and sensing ability while
helping the surgeries. “We are also excited about understanding the effect of shape change on
improving functions of robots,” Jayaram said. “And this is sure a great one-step forward of the
technology. The robot will have entered the market by 2025 and will bring greater benefits to mankind,
especially in medical treatment.”
28. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Possible application fields of the robot. B. Different types of the robot.
C. Several important features of the robot. D. Working process of the robot.
29. Which of the following can best describe mCLARI
A. Valuable but uncontrollable. B. Modern but high-cost.
C. Heavy and time-consuming. D. Advanced and effective.
30. What is Jayaram’s attitude towards the robot
A. Concerned. B. Optimistic. C. Skeptical. D. Indifferent.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Jayaram: A Scientist Studying Robot Intelligence
B. mCLARI Is Already Widely Available in the Market
C. CLARI: A Robot Invented by Inspiration from the Insects

Summer sea ice in the Arctic could melt almost completely by the 2030s — roughly a decade
earlier than projected — even if humans cut back drastically on greenhouse gas emissions, new
research suggests.
An ice-free summer, also called a “blue ocean event”, will happen when the sea ice drops below
one million square kilometers, writes Jonathan Bamber, a professor of physical geography at the
University of Bristol, in the Conversation.
Previous assessments using models have estimated an ice-free summer under high and
intermediate emissions scenarios(高中等的排放情形) by 2050. But researchers noticed differences
between what climate models predicted about what would happen to sea ice and what they’ve actually
seen through observations. “The models, on average, underestimate sea ice decline compared with
observations,” says Nathan Gillett, an Environment and Climate Change Canada scientist.
Now, in a new study published in Nature Communications, Gillett and his teammates changed
these models to more closely fit satellite data collected over the past 40 years. Using these adapted
models, the researchers projected ice changes under different possible levels of greenhouse gas
emissions. Their paper suggests that regardless of the emissions scenario, “we may experience an
unprecedented ice-free Arctic climate in the next decade or two.”
While sea ice naturally decreases in the summer and refreezes during the winter, summer ice
coverage has steadily been declining over the past few decades because of climate change. And Arctic
ice melting happens faster itself — as ice disappears, it exposes more of the dark blue ocean, which
absorbs more heat and leads to more melting. This process has led to the region warming nearly four
times faster than the rest of the globe since 1979.
Sea ice decline could have disastrous consequences that extend to the rest of the planet, including
sea level rise and disturbance to weather patterns and ecosystems. Animals like polar bears and seals
that rely on Arctic ice to survive could be placed at risk.
32. According to the new research, what will happen concerning summer sea ice in the Arctic
A. Its nearly complete melting may occur earlier than expected.
B. Its disappearing once and for all will be in less than 10 years.
C. Its dropping will give rise to so-called “blue ocean event”.
D. Its melting can be prevented in greenhouse gas emissions.
33. What effort did the researchers make after figuring out the problem of the previous assessments
A. They abandoned the attempt to use models.
B. They collected satellite data over the past 40 years.
C. They adapted the models to be consistent with the actual cases.
D. They predicted accurately ice changes in regions of the Arctic.
34. How is the paragraph 5 developed
A. By listing statistics. B. By giving definitions.
C. By making a comparison. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
35. What message may the text be trying to convey to readers
A. Pride comes before a fall. B. Man proposes, god disposes.
C. A good beginning is half done. D. If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.

After my family got comfortably settled in Hotel Ramada in Bangkok, we started exploring the
公众号：高三试卷群 公众号：高一高二高三试卷群 公众号：初三高三试卷群 公众号：高三资料 高三试卷 公众号：高三资料群
city. After endless hours of shopping, it was finally time to go back.
This was when the trouble started. We forgot there are two Ramada hotels in the opposite
directions. Absolutely unaware of this, we started searching for the way back. Google maps suggested
us the shortest route which was just 20 minutes away by walk. 36
Bangkok felt different after sunset. Walking along the heavily-crowded roads with the dark-red
sky felt beautiful. Lost in our talk, we didn’t realize that we passed onto the quieter part of the town.
37 It was closed for redecoration. To our luck, nobody around us then spoke English.
Worse still, we stepped in a local tuk-tuk (三轮车), which took us to an unknown area for an enormous
pay. We had no idea where we were, our mobile phones nearly out of charge.
38 He was a taxi driver. Recounting the day’s events proved to be a great conversation
starter. We ended up talking through the way. He was so kind as to offer to drive us around for the rest
of our stay. 39 For the next four days, from floating markets to the temples of Wat Pho, our
trip wouldn’t have been so trouble free without him.
Sometimes when things don’t go according to plan, I think about the stranger we met on the
streets and how a tiny mistake on our part led to unexpected results. 40
A. That was when our hero arrived.
B. Our thankfulness knew no bounds.
C. We reached a completely different Hotel Ramada.
D. We set off into the city with little research on transport.
E. We decided not to waste our money but our time instead.
F. The trip rings as a reminder that every cloud has a silver lining.
G. He then informed us that our hotel was just a few blocks away.

Kevin is a very nice young boy, but he doesn’t like to study. He prefers to play games (using his
father’s laptop). Recently, Kevin has been bored with those old games and wants a new game. So he
公众号：高三试卷群 公众号：高一高二高三试卷群 公众号：初三高三试卷群 公众号：高三资料 高三试卷 公众号：高三资料群
asks his mother. “Can I have a Lego game for the laptop ”
His mother rejects his demand, for fear that the game will do harm to his studies. Kevin wants
the Lego game very much. He asks his mother many times, but she always says, “No.” Finally,
Kevin’s mother has an idea. “You have a math test at school soon. You must know all the
multiplication tables (乘法表) from 1 to 12. If you can get 80% in your math test, I will buy you the
Lego game.”
Kevin is not happy but he wants the Lego game so he tries to study. He works very hard. Soon
he knows many of the answers but the nine times table is very difficult. Kevin cannot remember the
answers.
The day before the math test, Kevin is coming home from school on the bus. Today at school
they had a practice test. Kevin still couldn’t remember the nine times table. I tried hard but I won’t get
80%, he thinks. My mother will not buy me the game.
He kicks the seat. The man sitting next to him on the bus looks at him. “Are you OK ” he asks.
“Are you having trouble at school ”
Kevin’s mother always says “Do not talk to strangers!” But Kevin thinks this man has a kind
face. He tells the man that his mother won’t buy a Lego game for him until he gets more than 80% on
the math test.
“Well, that’s no problem,” says the man. “You can do it!”
“No, I can’t!” says Kevin. “I can remember 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 times table answers.
But I can’t remember 9 times!”
“Let me give you some clues!” the man says. “What is nine times one ”
“Nine! Everyone knows that!”
“And what is nine times two ”
“Eighteen!”
“Good! Eighteen is one and eight and one plus eight is nine.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右。

第一节 A possible version:
Recently, a heated discussion has been held/launched by our class held on whether students
should watch short videos. Opinions concerned are divided.
Some students approve of it. Their reasons are as follows. Short videos, rich in various contents,
can convey a large amount of information readily, which broadens our horizons. Besides, they serve as
excellent stress relievers after a long day of study, allowing us to relax. However, just as every coin
has two sides, others hold the opposite view, arguing that watching short videos is a waste of time,
especially for those with poor self-control. Once addicted, students will find it extremely tough to
focus on study, thus negatively affecting their academic performance.
As far as I’m concerned, I hold the view that short videos themselves are harmless in that the key
lies in self-discipline. As long as we can control the time spent and prevent them from distracting us,
watching short videos can be a beneficial form of entertainment.
第二节
Para 1: “Nine times three is twenty-seven, and two plus seven is nine!” the man continues. Kevin
is very surprised. “Wow! You are a math wizard (天才)!” he says. “How did you do that Can you
help me with all the answers to the nine times table ” The man smiles. “Of course! But you must learn
how to do it by yourself.” Then the man told Kevin the rule and he quickly remembered all the answers
to the nine times table.
Para 2:The next day Kevin went to school and took the math test. He remembered the rule the man
taught him and did all the multiplication problems very quickly. When he finished the test, he checked
his answers carefully. He was very happy to find that he got more than 80%! When Kevin got home,
he told his mother the good news. His mother was surprised and happy. “I knew you could do it,
Kevin!” she said. “I’m proud of you!”Kevin smiled. “Thanks, Mom! And thank you, kind stranger on
the bus! Without your help, I wouldn’t have done so well in the math test.”

10-12【原文】M: Honey, I’m back. Here is my last month’s salary.
W: Oh, it is $500 more than before. What happened
M: My boss said I did a great job in the last several months. So I have just been promoted to the
position of department manager and given a pay raise.
W: Oh, that’s great. Honey, I have got a plan.
M: What is it
W: What about doing this Let’s put all your salary into our savings account and use 30% of my salary
as Nelson and Jessica’s education fund from now on.
M: What Do you think the rest of your salary would be enough to cover our daily expenses
W: Don’t worry. If I buy fewer dresses and you don’t eat out too often, everything will be all right.

Besides, don’t you forget I have just got a new job and the pay is not bad.
M: OK. It’s up to you. Anyway, I only hope we can still take our children out and see a film every
weekend.
13-16【原文】W: Dr. Spenser, thanks for joining our program today.
M: It’s my pleasure.
W: So, what exactly are scientists at your company doing
M: We’ re developing a tool to help blind people to see again. I’m talking about people who lost their
sight because of an accident.
W: So, tell us about the tool you’re working on now.
M: Well, it uses a computer chip and special glasses. We start by putting the chip in a blind person’s
eyes. The chip is very, very small, of course. And the glasses have a very small video camera inside.
W: So, how do the computer chip and glasses work together
M: Well, a blind person puts on the glasses and looks at something, for example, this pen. First the
video camera in the glasses takes a picture of the pen. Then the camera sends the picture to the
computer chip in the person’s eyes.
W: And then the person can see the pen!
M: Exactly! This whole process happens very quickly, of course.
W: Wow! Now, using this tool, will a blind person be able to see as well as a normal one
M: No, they won’t have perfect vision, but they will be able to see many things. This tool is still new,
but for many of the people in our study, it’s changed their lives.
