Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
A 2018 Guardian article predicted a hopeless future for Icelandic （冰
岛语） as a language：“fighting the threat of ‘digital extinction’.” In
that report， it was explained how the mother tongue and the cultural
identity of Iceland you are getting stuck on an Internet that is almost
entirely in English. The same Government also warned a few years ago that
in a few generations， if it could not continue to be the country’s default
language （默认语言） in the face of rapid digitization， it would
disappear completely.
To protect it， the country even coins Icelandic terms for new
concepts rather than borrowing words from other puter，
for example， becomes t lva， which is a mix between tala and v lva.The
goal is for the language to remain linguistically “pure” and maintain the
essence of its Old Norse roots. But despite this， Icelandic is only used
today by about 340，000 people. And， at a time when Netflix， YouTube
and voice assistants have become the norm in the globalized world，
Icelandic is sinking into an ocean of English.
A few months ago， OpenAI released the long-awaited GPT-4
model， an upgrade （升级） to the technology behind its popular
ChatGPT， the fastest-growing application in history.The company claims
that GPT-4 is its most advanced system and can produce safer and more
useful responses. It declares that GPT-4 goes beyond ChatGPT in its
advanced reasoning abilities.Iceland has seen a solution to its problems.The
country’s president， Gu ni Th. J hannesson， has partnered with
OpenAI to use GPT-4 to preserve Icelandic.
And how can AI help Iceland？To answer that question， one must
understand that OpenAI’s GPT models are largely trained by text on the
Internet.That means that most of the technical knowledge and training is in
English.That， in turn， means GPT doesn’t have the same
comprehension abilities in smaller languages.Although GPT-4 performs
much better than its previous versions， it still has some grammatical，
“translation” and cultural errors.To address this， the Icelandic language
technology company Mi eind ehf has asked a team of 40 volunteers to
train GPT-4 on proper Icelandic grammar and cultural knowledge.

It’s dinner time.Susan Green sets the table. Her husband Michael and
two children take their seats at the table， and an awkward silence
descends （降临）. 14-year-old Carolyn plays restlessly with a fork，
while 16-year-old Billy frowns （皱眉） at the dish in front of him.
Meanwhile， Michael reaches absently for an object that isn’t there， an
unmistakable look of disappointment on his face.The Greens are
experiencing their first evening without electronic devices， as part of a
month-long experiment to see if going without technology will make them
a happier family.
The use of electronic devices has increased greatly over the past 10
years， and recent studies suggest that they may be responsible for
decreased levels of happiness. Susan Green had noticed these worrying
tendencies in her own family. “I was regularly telling Billy to turn off his
game and go and get some fresh air， or Carolyn to stop chatting with her
friends and get some sleep.What worried me more is that when they invited
their friends over， I would find them all sitting together looking at their
phones and not talking，” she says.
Susan’s concerns made her carry out her own research into the issue.
When she came across an article in a weekend newspaper about people
who gave up using electronic devices for a month， she was eager to try it
with her own family. However， she realised that it was going to take more
than reading an article to persuade them. “I found some of the research
mentioned in the article very worrying， but I doubted if my family would
be convinced，” she says.“But I wanted to avoid financial rewards， as
they felt a bit too individualistic.” In the end， the promise of a fun
family day out at a theme park persuaded the Greens to go tech-free for a
whole month.
The Green family’s experiment is now over， but they have made a
commitment to try and stick to some of the principles that they established
during their tech-free month. Susan feels delighted with the results of the
experiment and is certain that it helped her to achieve her aim of improving
her family’s happiness.

Claude Monet， Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci ...the art world
has never been short of talent.And now， a new painter is ready to join the
list， although this one isn’t even a human.
Next month， the auction house Christie’s Prints and Multiples will
make history by offering the first piece of artwork created by artificial
intelligence （AI） for sale.The painting is a portrait of a man called
Edmond de Belamy.The work， which features a man with a mysterious
look on his face， was created by software developed by the French art
group Obvious.
Nicolas Laugero Lasserre， an art collector， called the work
“strange and amazing at the same time”.This isn’t the first example of
AI-produced artwork， as AI has already been used to write poems and
compose songs.However， many people doubt whether it should be called
art.According to Russian writer Leo Tolstoy， art is about creating
emotion.He once said that art is a means of joining people of the same
feelings together.
So， if the emotion behind art is what makes it， the ability to create
and use tools is what makes human beings different from other species.And
as a tool itself， the AI technology used to create the portrait is the result of
a lot of effort made by several designers.Together， they “fed” the AI a
huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries， until it
was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own.
The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic
movement.However， not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech
artists just yet.“The human mind is what’s behind the AI technology.And
the human mind is not a cold， hard fact，” said Oscar Schwartz， a
researcher and writer.“Rather， it is something that’s created with our
opinions and something that changes over time.”

world within a day， while computers operate at lightning speed.Indeed，
this love of 14 seems never-ending. Every year motor cars are
produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts of 15
precious seconds in handling tasks.
All these save time， but at a cost. When we lose or 16 half a day
in speeding across the world in an airplane， our bodies tell us so. We get
the uncomfortable feeling known as jet lag （时差反应）. Our bodies feel
that they have been 17 behind in another time zone. Again， spending
too long on 18 results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones
also have their dangers：Too much use may transmit harmful 19 into
our brains.
However， how do we 20 the time we have saved？ Certainly
not relax， or so it seems. We are so used to constant activity that we find
it 21 to sit down and do nothing or even just one thing at a 22 .
Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen 23 to a story on
the radio， letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to
the cultivation （耕作） of the 24 or the care of cattle.No
multitasking there； their lives went on at a much gentler pace. There is
much that we might envy about a 25 of life like this.Yet before we do
so， we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors 26 .Modern
machines have 27 people from that primitive existence.

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A 2018 Guardian article predicted a hopeless future for Icelandic （冰岛语） as a language：“fighting the threat of ‘digital extinction’.” In that report， it was explained how the mother tongue and the cultural identity of Iceland you are getting stuck on an Internet that is almost entirely in English. The same Government also warned a few years ago that in a few generations， if it could not continue to be the country’s default language （默认语言） in the face of rapid digitization， it would disappear completely.
To protect it， the country even coins Icelandic terms for new concepts rather than borrowing words from other puter， for example， becomes t lva， which is a mix between tala and v lva.The goal is for the language to remain linguistically “pure” and maintain the essence of its Old Norse roots. But despite this， Icelandic is only used today by about 340，000 people. And， at a time when Netflix， YouTube and voice assistants have become the norm in the globalized world， Icelandic is sinking into an ocean of English.
A few months ago， OpenAI released the long-awaited GPT-4 model， an upgrade （升级） to the technology behind its popular ChatGPT， the fastest-growing application in history.The company claims that GPT-4 is its most advanced system and can produce safer and more useful responses. It declares that GPT-4 goes beyond ChatGPT in its advanced reasoning abilities.Iceland has seen a solution to its problems.The country’s president， Gu ni Th. J hannesson， has partnered with OpenAI to use GPT-4 to preserve Icelandic.
And how can AI help Iceland？To answer that question， one must understand that OpenAI’s GPT models are largely trained by text on the Internet.That means that most of the technical knowledge and training is in English.That， in turn， means GPT doesn’t have the same comprehension abilities in smaller languages.Although GPT-4 performs much better than its previous versions， it still has some grammatical， “translation” and cultural errors.To address this， the Icelandic language technology company Mi eind ehf has asked a team of 40 volunteers to train GPT-4 on proper Icelandic grammar and cultural knowledge.

3.What does OpenAI say about its GPT-4 model？
A.It responds more quickly than ChatGPT.
B.It is the fastest-growing application in history.
C.It was originally designed for language preservation.

It’s dinner time.Susan Green sets the table. Her husband Michael and two children take their seats at the table， and an awkward silence descends （降临）. 14-year-old Carolyn plays restlessly with a fork， while 16-year-old Billy frowns （皱眉） at the dish in front of him. Meanwhile， Michael reaches absently for an object that isn’t there， an unmistakable look of disappointment on his face.The Greens are experiencing their first evening without electronic devices， as part of a month-long experiment to see if going without technology will make them a happier family.
The use of electronic devices has increased greatly over the past 10 years， and recent studies suggest that they may be responsible for decreased levels of happiness. Susan Green had noticed these worrying tendencies in her own family. “I was regularly telling Billy to turn off his game and go and get some fresh air， or Carolyn to stop chatting with her friends and get some sleep.What worried me more is that when they invited their friends over， I would find them all sitting together looking at their phones and not talking，” she says.
Susan’s concerns made her carry out her own research into the issue. When she came across an article in a weekend newspaper about people who gave up using electronic devices for a month， she was eager to try it with her own family. However， she realised that it was going to take more than reading an article to persuade them. “I found some of the research mentioned in the article very worrying， but I doubted if my family would be convinced，” she says.“But I wanted to avoid financial rewards， as they felt a bit too individualistic.” In the end， the promise of a fun family day out at a theme park persuaded the Greens to go tech-free for a whole month.
The Green family’s experiment is now over， but they have made a commitment to try and stick to some of the principles that they established during their tech-free month. Susan feels delighted with the results of the experiment and is certain that it helped her to achieve her aim of improving her family’s happiness.
5.Why did everybody at the table seem unhappy？
A.They didn’t like the food.
B.Someone argued with the others.
C.Someone was absent from this family gathering.
D.They were experiencing an evening without technology.
6.What about Billy and Carolyn troubled Susan most？
A.They had fallen behind with their studies.
B.They failed to get on with their friends.
C.They were afraid to talk when being in front of others.
D.They were glued to their screens when being with their friends.
7.How did Susan persuade her family to get involved in her experiment？
A.By reading them an article.
B.By promising them a day out at a park.
C.By providing financial rewards for them.
D.By introducing them to people with similar issues.
8.What would be the best title for this text？
A.Technology Has Never Been Far From Us

Claude Monet， Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci ...the art world has never been short of talent.And now， a new painter is ready to join the list， although this one isn’t even a human.
Next month， the auction house Christie’s Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of artwork created by artificial intelligence （AI） for sale.The painting is a portrait of a man called Edmond de Belamy.The work， which features a man with a mysterious look on his face， was created by software developed by the French art group Obvious.
Nicolas Laugero Lasserre， an art collector， called the work “strange and amazing at the same time”.This isn’t the first example of AI-produced artwork， as AI has already been used to write poems and compose songs.However， many people doubt whether it should be called art.According to Russian writer Leo Tolstoy， art is about creating emotion.He once said that art is a means of joining people of the same feelings together.
So， if the emotion behind art is what makes it， the ability to create and use tools is what makes human beings different from other species.And as a tool itself， the AI technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several designers.Together， they “fed” the AI a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries， until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own.
The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement.However， not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet.“The human mind is what’s behind the AI technology.And the human mind is not a cold， hard fact，” said Oscar Schwartz， a researcher and writer.“Rather， it is something that’s created with our opinions and something that changes over time.”
9.What can we learn about the AI-produced artwork？
A.It is about to be sold.
B.It is created by a robot.
C.It is designed by a portrait painter.
D.It is the second artwork produced by AI.
10.Why is Leo Tolstoy mentioned？
A.To present his opinion about art.
B.To stress the value of the artwork.
C.To show the definition of emotion.
D.To question the AI-produced artwork.
11.What can be inferred from Oscar Schwartz’s words？
A.AI art doesn’t change over time.
B.AI art is similar to human artworks.
C.AI art comes from the human mind.
D.AI art is beyond humans’s imagination.
12.Where is the text most likely from？
A.A guidebook. B.A textbook.
C.A science novel. D.A newspaper.

All these save time， but at a cost. When we lose or 16 half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane， our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet lag （时差反应）. Our bodies feel that they have been 17 behind in another time zone. Again， spending too long on 18 results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers：Too much use may transmit harmful 19 into our brains.
However， how do we 20 the time we have saved？ Certainly not relax， or so it seems. We are so used to constant activity that we find it 21 to sit down and do nothing or even just one thing at a 22 . Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen 23 to a story on the radio， letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation （耕作） of the 24 or the care of cattle.No multitasking there； their lives went on at a much gentler pace. There is much that we might envy about a 25 of life like this.Yet before we do so， we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors 26 .Modern machines have 27 people from that primitive existence.
