Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共10分)
With the sudden breakthroughs in artificial intelligence over the last year，a sudden realization has come for those of us in the writing circle that the robots have come for our jobs at last.Recently，Hollywood writers went on a strike over concerns about being replaced.It ended in a modest victory，but it seemed like a losing battle，like the 18th-century craftsmen trying to stop new machines but in vain.
The replacement of physical labour by machines was often beneficial in itself，even if it did not feel that way at the time.In all previous waves of technological change，the jobs lost have been made up for by the jobs created，usually better ones.Can the same be said when it comes to writing Language is hard-wired into us，which is the property of human.Writing is how we do our best thinking，as Joan Didion observed，“I don't know what I think until I write it down”，and thinking is what makes us human.What happens when we no longer rely on our own thoughts to address more complex problems
Probably it won't come to that，or not yet.I remember when we said the same thing about computers playing chess，the technology is still in its early stage.In a few years，we may no longer be able to tell the difference.What then
Most likely the first writing to be replaced will be patterned writing like business and promotional writings.It may be that writers will take on a role similar to today's artisans and craftsmen，pride for their “handmade” honour.The best writing may be produced neither entirely by computer nor by humans，but by the two combined.For however it is produced，some writing will always be better than other writing.Who says You，the reader.It may be possible to teach a computer to write，but only a human can feel the pleasure of reading，or the pain.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能在写作领域的进步以及对作家职业的潜在威胁，探讨了技术进步如何影响工作，并提出了作者对这一现象的看法和对未来作家职业方向的预测。
1.What was the main concern of Hollywood writers
A.The increase in working hours.
B.The use of AI in writing rooms.
C.The decrease in salaries for them.
D.The lack of full control over work.
解析　B　细节理解题。根据第一段中“Recently...but in vain.”可知，好莱坞作家们抗议的主要原因是他们担心自己的工作被AI取代。故选B。
2.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 probably mean
A.We are born with language.
B.Language is hard to replace.
C.Language is difficult to change.
D.We benefit from language.
解析　A　句意猜测题。根据下文“which is the property of human”可知，语言是人类的固有属性，推知 hard-wired的意思是“天生的，固有的”，与之意义最接近的是“be born with”，意思是“与生俱来的”。故选A。
3.What might be the first type of writing to be replaced by AI
A.Creative fiction writing.
B.Scientific research paper.
C.Advertisement and brochure.
D.Children literature and poetry.
解析　C　推理判断题。根据最后一段“Most likely the first writing...and promotional writings.”可知，最有可能首先被AI取代的写作类型是那些模式化的写作，如商务促销类写作。“广告和宣传册”这类写作通常结构固定，规则性强，目的是促销推广，因此更容易被AI模仿和取代。故选C。
4.What would be the best title of the text
A.Can AI redefine human's future
B.Will the pen be mightier than AI
C.Is AI a threat to human creativity
D.Will literature be dead due to AI
解析　B　标题归纳题。本文主要讨论了人工智能在写作领域的进步以及对作家职业的潜在威胁，探讨了技术进步如何影响工作，所以B项是本文最佳标题。故选B。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分，共12.5分)
Does alien life exist It's a question many people have tried to answer. 1 AI is a type of program that allows a computer to learn from experience and perform tasks that usually require human intelligence.AI works by taking in lots of data，then making predictions based on it.
The research team used their AI method to analyze different materials and determine whether they were biotic (生物性的) or abiotic. 2-
To train the AI program，the researchers gave it data on 134 biotic and abiotic materials.The program then used that knowledge to predict whether things like human hair，bones，teeth，leaves，coal，and chemicals were alive or not. 3-
4 “We may be able to find a life-form from another planet，” said Robert Hazen of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington，D.C.“If we do find signs of life elsewhere，we can tell if life on Earth and other planets derived from a common or different origin.” For now，though，the team is focused on ancient rock samples from Earth to learn more about life on our own planet and where it originated.For example，the tool could be used to settle a disagreement among scientists about 3.5-billion-year-old rocks from Western Australia. 5 However，others think the rocks just have unusual patterns.
The AI could also be used to examine samples from Mars collected by the Perseverance over.NASA put this wheeled robot on the red planet to search for evidence that Mars has the right conditions to support life.Perseverance is gathering rock samples that will be brought to Earth in 2033.
A.People's answers are various.
B.Some experts believe AI can't tell their origin.
C.The researchers said the AI was 90% accurate.
D.The scientists also think the AI tool could detect alien life-forms.
E.Some experts believe the rocks contain Earth's oldest fossil samples.
F.Now scientists have identified a new method for finding alien life using AI.
G.The AI also could tell whether a biotic sample was currently living or a fossil.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新的方法，即使用人工智能(AI)来寻找外星生命。
1.F　根据上文以及下文可知，上文讲述外星生命，下文讲述人工智能，所以空处应和提及人工智能和外星生命的内容有关，F项符合文意，承接上文，引出下文。故选F。
2.G　本段主要讲述人工智能在分析材料方面的运用，G项承接上文，符合本段主题。故选G。
3.C　设空位于段尾，是对上文的总结，根据上文可知，本段讲述研究人员如何训练人工智能，C项说明训练的结果，符合本段主题。故选C。
4.D　设空位于段首，为本段的中心句，根据下文可知，本段讲述人工智能可以帮助探测生命形式，D项介绍科学家的观点，引出下文，符合本段主题，为本段中心句。故选D。
5.E　根据上文以及下文可知，此处在举例西澳大利亚的35亿年前的岩石进行说明，E项讲述岩石的研究，承上启下，符合此处主题。故选E。
Ⅲ.语法填空(每小题1.5分，共15分)
A celebrated saying has been around in China for centuries：“1. (innovate) leads to success，while standing still leads to failure.” The traditional Chinese opera successors' efforts to carve out their path with the help of high technology such as AI have certainly paid off 2. the ancient art form has achieved new life among the younger generation.More than 7 million netizens were fascinated by a live stream 3. (theme) “When technology meets the beauty of traditional opera” in February 2024.
One of the 4. (appeal) parts of the live stream was how nearly 50 classic operas 5. (bring) to audiences in a brand-new way by relying on digital technologies，including AI and “six degrees of freedom”，6. refers to the six mechanical degrees of freedom of movement of a rigid body (刚体).

[语篇解读]　 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国的传统戏曲正在借助人工智能、虚拟现实等前沿技术焕发新生。
1.Innovation　考查名词。根据本空后的动词短语leads to可知，本空需填名词形式，作主语。innovation意为“创新”，为不可数名词。句首字母大写，故填Innovation。
2.as/because　考查连词。“the ancient art form has achieved new life among the younger generation”是原因，空处可用as/because引导原因状语从句，故填as/because。
3.themed　考查非谓语动词。本句中theme(以……为主题)和a live stream存在逻辑上的动宾关系，故填过去分词形式themed作后置定语。故填themed。
4.appealing　考查形容词。此空设在名词parts前，需用形容词形式作定语。appealing意为“有吸引力的”。故填appealing。
5.were brought　考查动词的时态和语态。根据句中的was和上文中的in February 2024可知，该动作发生在过去，且bring和50 classic operas是动宾关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态。主语为复数，be动词用were。故填were brought。
6.which　考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是six degrees of freedom，并在从句中作主语，所以应用which。故填which。
7.for　考查介词。praise for sth是固定搭配，意为“对……的表扬”。故填for。
8.demonstrating　考查非谓语动词。主语the netizens与动词demonstrate之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用动词-ing形式，在句中作伴随状语。故填demonstrating。
9.instances　考查名词的单复数。根据空前修饰语one of可知，本空需填instance的复数形式。故填instances。
10.edgy　考查形容词。空处修饰versions，应用形容词作定语。edgy意为“前卫的”。故填edgy。
