A man sat at a metro station in Washington D.C. and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by, and a middle-aged man noticed there was musician playing. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him. They stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet their schedule.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3-year-old boy. His mother followed him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded（鼓掌）, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theatre in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell’s playing in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment.
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing

A. People were in a hurry.

C They would stop to enjoy the music.
D. They would give him some money.
6. Why did Joshua Bell play in the metro station

B. To practise his skills in playing music.
C. To made an advertisement for his concert.
D. To find out people’s reaction under such a circumstance.
7. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To tell us the importance of music.

C. To set us to think about our life.

C
The conflict (冲突) between Russia and Ukraine itself may be a questionable topic, yet it is the people who suffer the most. More than 4 million Ukrainians had fled from their homeland one month after it began. It was the biggest migration (移民) wave since World War Ⅱ.
I wanted to help by being a volunteer. However, it was difficult because I don’t speak Russian or Ukrainian. Luckily, after searching on the internet, I was finally able to sign up to volunteer in a modern gallery called Svetova.
The gallery is owned by an overseas Chinese in Prague, Czech Republic, and had over 40 volunteers to provide help for the Ukrainian refugees (难民). During a two-week intensive (集中的) aid program, the gallery provided a place to live and food for up to five people for free and also served as a safe and interesting space for children, where English classes, games and other fun activities were organized.
Because of my busy school and work timetable, I was only able to volunteer there twice. But besides the owner and his family, I was the first Chinese volunteer. My role was to help the refugees fill out registration papers. Sometimes, it was difficult with the language barrier, but there were translators to help.
I was so impressed by one Ukrainian mother and her two kids, who still had such kind smiles and bright eyes, though they must have experienced all the awful things. Some other people may not be able to easily understand their feelings, but I really valued this chance to be with those people in need, doing what I could. Because we are all humans, we should come together in difficult times.
8. What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine lasted one month.
B. People in Ukraine have suffered a lot in the conflict.
C. More than 4 million Russians left their homeland.
D. The conflict is worse than World War Ⅱ.
9. What does the underlined word “sign up” in paragraph 2 mean
A. register B. compete C. prefer D. expect
10. What was the writer’s work at Svetova
A. To provide food and living place for the refugees. B. To treat the injured refugees.
C. To help the refugees fill out registration papers. D. To deal with the language barrier.
11. Which of the following could be the best title
A. A terrible conflict B. A devoted gallery owner
C. A unique chance D. A valuable volunteer experience
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者在俄乌冲突期间成为志愿者帮助难民的事情。作者帮助别人感到快乐，明白了我们应该在困难时期走到一起，因为我们都是人类。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The conflict (冲突) between Russia and Ukraine itself may be a questionable topic, yet it is the people who suffer the most.(俄罗斯和乌克兰之间的冲突本身可能是一个值得怀疑的话题，但受害最深的却是乌克兰人民)”可知，在这次俄乌冲突中，乌克兰人民遭受了很多。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“I wanted to help by being a volunteer.(我想做一名志愿者来帮忙)”和划线短语所在句子“Luckily, after searching on the internet, I was finally able to sign up to volunteer in a modern gallery called Svetova.(幸运的是，在网上搜索之后，我终于能够在一家名为Svetova的现代画廊sign up成为志愿者)”并结合下文讲述作者志愿者工作的经历可知，作者在Svetova报名，并成功成为一名可以帮助他人的志愿者。由此可知，划线部分意为“报名，登记”，与register同义。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“My role was to help the refugees fill out registration papers.(我的职责是帮助难民填写登记文件)”可知，作者在Svetova的工作是帮助难民填写登记文件。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第二段的“I wanted to help by being a volunteer.(我想做一名志愿者来帮忙)”和最后一段的“Some other people may not be able to easily understand their feelings, but I really valued this chance to be with those people in need, doing what I could. Because we are all humans, we should come together in difficult times.(有些人可能不容易理解他们的感受，但我真的很珍惜这个机会，和那些需要帮助的人在一起，尽我所能。因为我们都是人类，我们应该在困难时期团结起来)”可知，本文主要讲述了作者在俄乌冲突期间成为志愿者帮助难民的事情，这次经历对作者来说是非常珍贵的，因为作者知道了我们应该在困难时期团结起来，因为我们都是人类。因此D项“一次珍贵的志愿者经历”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选D。

ChatGPT is an AI chatbot (智能聊天程序) from OpenAI, an AI technology company In San Francisco. It can produce any kind of writing as required. Many schools are afraid that ChatGPT could result in dishonesty and harm learning. So the tool, called AI Text Classifier from the same maker, is invented. Its task is to decide whether the writing was produced by students or by AI programs.
OpenAI warns that its new tool—like others already in use—is not perfect. The method for detecting AI-written writing “will be wrong sometimes,” said Jan Leike of OpenAI. “Because of that,” he added, “it shouldn’t be only relied upon when making decisions.”
Teenagers and college students were among the millions of people who began experimenting with ChatGPT after it was put into use on November 30. The tool is a free service on OpenAI’s website. Many people have found ways to use it creatively and harmlessly. Still, some teachers are worried that it could be used to cheat.
So far public schools in some cities, such as New York City and Los Angeles, began to block (阻止) its use in classrooms and on school computers. Public schools in Seattle blocked ChatGPT on all school computers but then opened it to teachers. One spokesman Tim Robinson said teachers wanted to use ChatGPT as a teaching tool. “We can’t afford to ignore (忽视) it,” Robinson said. Students could also use the service as a “personal teacher” or to help create ideas when doing homework, Robinson said.
OpenAI talked about its new tool on a blog recently. But the company added that the tool could help to find some mistakes in writing as well as catch cheating. The longer a piece of writing is, the better the tool is at deciding whether an AI system or a human wrote something.
12. Who are more likely to use AI Text Classifier
A. Students. B. Teachers. C. Parents. D. Writers.
13. What is Leike’s attitude towards AI Text Classifier
A. Positive. B. Unconcerned C. Cautious D. Satisfied
14. Why are some teachers worried about ChatGPT
A. It costs the users a lot of money. B. It often makes wrong decisions.
C. They can’t use it as a teaching tool. D. Students will take advantage of it to cheat.
15. What can we learn from the example of ChatGPT
A. Every coin has its two sides. B. Rome was not built in one day.
C. A good beginning is half done. D. A bit is better than nothing.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍OpenAI针对人们担忧学生会利用ChatGPT作弊这个问题研发了AI Text Classifier，它能判断作文是学生还是人工智能完成。但该程序目前也不完美，会出错。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“So the tool, called AI Text Classifier from the same maker, is invented. Its task is to decide whether the writing was produced by students or by AI programs. (于是，同一家公司发明了名为AI Text Classifier的工具。它的任务是判断作文是学生写的还是人工智能程序写的)”可知，AI Text Classifier的作用是判断文章是学生还是人工智能程序写的。由此推知，老师更有可能使用它。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“The method for detecting AI-written writing “will be wrong sometimes,” said Jan Leike of OpenAI. “Because of that,” he added, “it shouldn’t be only relied upon when making decisions.” (OpenAI的Jan Leike说，检测人工智能书写的方法“有时会出错”。“正因为如此，”他补充说，“在做决定时不能只依赖它。”)”推知， Leike对 AI Text Classifier的态度是谨慎的，建议人们不要完全依赖它。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Still, some teachers are worried that it could be used to cheat. (尽管如此，一些老师还是担心它可能被用来作弊)”可知，老师对 ChatGPT担忧是因为他们认为一些学生可能用它来作弊。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“OpenAI warns that its new tool—like others already in use—is not perfect. (OpenAI警告说，它的新工具——就像其他已经在使用的工具一样——并不完美)”，第三段的“Many people have found ways to use it creatively and harmlessly. Still, some teachers are worried that it could be used to cheat. (许多人已经找到了创造性地、无害地使用它的方法。尽管如此，一些老师还是担心它可能被用来作弊)”，倒数第二段的“Public schools in Seattle blocked ChatGPT on all school computers but then opened it to teachers. One spokesman Tim Robinson said teachers wanted to use ChatGPT as a teaching tool. “We can’t afford to ignore (忽视) it,” Robinson said. Students could also use the service as a “personal teacher” or to help create ideas when doing homework, Robinson said. (西雅图的公立学校在所有学校电脑上屏蔽了ChatGPT，但随后向教师开放。一位发言人Tim Robinson表示，教师们希望将ChatGPT作为一种教学工具。“我们不能忽视它，”Robinson说，学生们也可以将这项服务作为“私人老师”，或者在做家庭作业时帮助创造想法)”可知，ChatGPT在给老师和学生带来便利的同时也带来了一些隐患——学生可能利用ChatGPT作弊。由此推知，我们从这文章可以得出事物都有两面性。故选A。

【28题详解】

What do you think of Sally’s study habits You can have ____44____ try. Sally ____45____ (make) great success since she entered high school, therefore, I hope you will also make a lot of progress in your study with the help of these hints.
【答案】36. subjects
37. finishing
38. herself
39. be stopped
40. that 41. actually 42. to
43. to solve 44. a
45. has made
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Sally的一些好的学习习惯。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：Sally是一个好学生，她各科成绩都很好，你一定想知道她是怎么学得这么好的。分析句子，设空处应该使用名词作宾语。subject为名词，意为“科目”，其为可数名词，此处表示复数意义。故填subjects。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：首先，Sally每天放学后花两个小时完成作业，她总是按时从七点到九点自学。句中spend+时间+doing sth.为固定短语，意为“花费时间做某事”。故填finishing。
【38题详解】
考查代词。句意同上。分析句子，设空处使用代词作宾语，此处表示“自学”用study by oneself即用反身代词作宾语。故填herself。
【39题详解】
考查谓语。句意：Sally是一个非常坚决的女孩，所以什么也阻止不了她去做那件事。设空处置于情态动词can之后，应该使用动词原形。此处she与stop之间为被动关系，故使用情态动词的被动语态结构。故填be stopped。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：她会把一切与学习无关的东西放在一边，比如手机。分析句子，设空处引导的是限制性定语从句，引导词在从句中作主语，从句修饰先行词everything，当先行词为复合不定代词时，引导词用that。故填that。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：事实上，她的桌子上只剩下书了。分析句子，设空处应该使用actual的副词actually作状语，意为“事实上”。故填actually。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：当她遇到一些难以解决的难题时，她会向别人寻求帮助。句中turn to sb. for help为固定短语，意为“向某人求助”。故填to。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：她迫不及待地想在第二天解决这些问题。句中can’t wait to do意为“迫不及待做某事”。故填to solve。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：你可以试试。句中have a try为固定短语，意为“试一试”。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查动词。句意：Sally自从进入高中以来取得了巨大的成功，因此，我希望在这些建议的帮助下，你的学习也会取得很大的进步。空处为主句谓语动词，根据时间状语“since she entered high school”判断主句为现在完成时，主语是第三人称单数，助动词用has。故填has made。

My parents decided to drive me to the countryside for relaxation (放松) after a busy month. Then, on a Saturday morning, my dad started his car and we set off with great expectation.
Before long, we left the noisy city and came to the mountains. There were few vehicles on the road and the trees alongside were pretty. We felt so excited! As a few hours passed we drove onto a narrow road. And minutes later, we found a river not far away from the road. The beach was very wide, and we wanted to have a rest there for a while. So my dad turned our car and drove towards it. Soon, we were driving on the sandy beach. Our car wheels were struggling in the increasingly soft sand. But my dad wanted to get closer to the river.
Before he regretted it, our car had got stuck in the sand. My dad tried to turn around or move back but the car didn’t move. We were trapped in the middle of nowhere. What was worse, it began raining We got out of the car and tried to push it, but failed. We were tired and our hair and coats were a little wet. But the car only sank further into the sand.
Anxiously, we walked to the road, hoping to stop a vehicle for help. But after waiting for a long time, there wasn’t one vehicle passing. Just when we were helpless, we saw a farmhouse not far away. “Can they help us I asked. My dad was doubtful. Still, we reached there, and found it was a big family. They seemed poor but friendly. My dad told them our problem and begged them to help us pull our car out.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
To our surprise, they nodded without thinking. They quickly found some ropes and tools. And they all, including a sixty-year-old man, two tall sons, their wives and several cheerful children, followed us. When reaching the beach, some of us pushed the car while others pulled it out with all strength. We tried hard, but the car didn’t move. Just then, my father saw that many faces of this family were covered with sweat, but they didn’t leave. Finally, after we tried many times, the car was pulled out of the sand.
My dad was so grateful that he handed some money to the family to thank them. However, they refused. Instead, they invited us to have a meal and offered to dry our coats. At their insistence, we returned to their home again, where the women went to prepare the meal while the men lit a big fire using firewood. The family offered us clean coats and hung our wet ones near the fire. We sat around the fire, and soon felt warm. Later, we enjoyed their delicious meal. That experience made me know that there are many helpful people who don’t expect anything in return.

A man sat at a metro station in Washington D.C. and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by, and a middle-aged man noticed there was musician playing. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him. They stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet their schedule.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3-year-old boy. His mother followed him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded（鼓掌）, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theatre in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell’s playing in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment.
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing
4. Why did few people stop to listen to Joshua Bell playing
A. People were in a hurry.
B. They were not interested in music.
C. It was too cold in the subway.
D. The performance was not good enough.
5. What did the parents do when children stopped to look at the violinist

D. They would give him some money.
6. Why did Joshua Bell play in the metro station
A. To make more money.
B. To practise his skills in playing music.
C. To made an advertisement for his concert.
D. To find out people’s reaction under such a circumstance.
7. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To tell us the importance of music.
B. To show us how to play music.
C. To set us to think about our life.
D. To report a subway performance.
C
The conflict (冲突) between Russia and Ukraine itself may be a questionable topic, yet it is the people who suffer the most. More than 4 million Ukrainians had fled from their homeland one month after it began. It was the biggest migration (移民) wave since World War Ⅱ.
I wanted to help by being a volunteer. However, it was difficult because I don’t speak Russian or Ukrainian. Luckily, after searching on the internet, I was finally able to sign up to volunteer in a modern gallery called Svetova.
The gallery is owned by an overseas Chinese in Prague, Czech Republic, and had over 40 volunteers to provide help for the Ukrainian refugees (难民). During a two-week intensive (集中的) aid program, the gallery provided a place to live and food for up to five people for free and also served as a safe and interesting space for children, where English classes, games and other fun activities were organized.
Because of my busy school and work timetable, I was only able to volunteer there twice. But besides the owner and his family, I was the first Chinese volunteer. My role was to help the refugees fill out registration papers. Sometimes, it was difficult with the language barrier, but there were translators to help.
I was so impressed by one Ukrainian mother and her two kids, who still had such kind smiles and bright eyes, though they must have experienced all the awful things. Some other people may not be able to easily understand their feelings, but I really valued this chance to be with those people in need, doing what I could. Because we are all humans, we should come together in difficult times.
8. What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine lasted one month.
B. People in Ukraine have suffered a lot in the conflict.
C. More than 4 million Russians left their homeland.
D. The conflict is worse than World War Ⅱ.
9. What does the underlined word “sign up” in paragraph 2 mean
A. register B. compete C. prefer D. expect
10. What was the writer’s work at Svetova
A. To provide food and living place for the refugees. B. To treat the injured refugees.
C. To help the refugees fill out registration papers. D. To deal with the language barrier.
11. Which of the following could be the best title
A A terrible conflict B. A devoted gallery owner
C. A unique chance D. A valuable volunteer experience
D
ChatGPT is an AI chatbot (智能聊天程序) from OpenAI, an AI technology company In San Francisco. It can produce any kind of writing as required. Many schools are afraid that ChatGPT could result in dishonesty and harm learning. So the tool, called AI Text Classifier from the same maker, is invented. Its task is to decide whether the writing was produced by students or by AI programs.
OpenAI warns that its new tool—like others already in use—is not perfect. The method for detecting AI-written writing “will be wrong sometimes,” said Jan Leike of OpenAI. “Because of that,” he added, “it shouldn’t be only relied upon when making decisions.”
Teenagers and college students were among the millions of people who began experimenting with ChatGPT after it was put into use on November 30. The tool is a free service on OpenAI’s website. Many people have found ways to use it creatively and harmlessly. Still, some teachers are worried that it could be used to cheat.
So far public schools in some cities, such as New York City and Los Angeles, began to block (阻止) its use in classrooms and on school computers. Public schools in Seattle blocked ChatGPT on all school computers but then opened it to teachers. One spokesman Tim Robinson said teachers wanted to use ChatGPT as a teaching tool. “We can’t afford to ignore (忽视) it,” Robinson said. Students could also use the service as a “personal teacher” or to help create ideas when doing homework, Robinson said.
OpenAI talked about its new tool on a blog recently. But the company added that the tool could help to find some mistakes in writing as well as catch cheating. The longer a piece of writing is, the better the tool is at deciding whether an AI system or a human wrote something.
12. Who are more likely to use AI Text Classifier
A. Students. B. Teachers. C. Parents. D. Writers.
13. What is Leike’s attitude towards AI Text Classifier
A. Positive. B. Unconcerned C. Cautious D. Satisfied
14. Why are some teachers worried about ChatGPT
A. It costs the users a lot of money. B. It often makes wrong decisions.
C. They can’t use it as a teaching tool. D. Students will take advantage of it to cheat.
15. What can we learn from the example of ChatGPT
A Every coin has its two sides. B. Rome was not built in one day.
C. A good beginning is half done. D. A bit is better than nothing.

My parents decided to drive me to the countryside for relaxation (放松) after a busy month. Then, on a Saturday morning, my dad started his car and we set off with great expectation.
Before long, we left the noisy city and came to the mountains. There were few vehicles on the road and the trees alongside were pretty. We felt so excited! As a few hours passed we drove onto a narrow road. And minutes later, we found a river not far away from the road. The beach was very wide, and we wanted to have a rest there for a while. So my dad turned our car and drove towards it. Soon, we were driving on the sandy beach. Our car wheels were struggling in the increasingly soft sand. But my dad wanted to get closer to the river.
Before he regretted it, our car had got stuck in the sand. My dad tried to turn around or move back but the car didn’t move. We were trapped in the middle of nowhere. What was worse, it began raining We got out of the car and tried to push it, but failed. We were tired and our hair and coats were a little wet. But the car only sank further into the sand.
Anxiously, we walked to the road, hoping to stop a vehicle for help. But after waiting for a long time, there wasn’t one vehicle passing. Just when we were helpless, we saw a farmhouse not far away. “Can they help us I asked. My dad was doubtful. Still, we reached there, and found it was a big family. They seemed poor but friendly. My dad told them our problem and begged them to help us pull our car out.
