参考答案

1. Dear Jim,

Good to hear from you, and what an interesting activity! We can really tell a lot about a city from its buildings.

I know you are a fan of Chinese architecture, so if you haven't decided which city to pick, you may consider Beijing, with the Forbidden City as a distinctive landmark.

Located in the centre of Beijing, the Forbidden City, the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, has a history of over 600 years. It has witnessed the changes of the city. Thus, it is surely a worthy landmark of Beijing and a good choice for your project.

I hope my advice will be helpful. Wish you every success.

Yours,

Li Hua

3. Dear Jim,

I’m writing with great honor to accept your invitation to your “China Day” event. Thank you so much for offering me this precious opportunity to be part of it.

I’m thinking of presenting Chinese calligraphy. I will introduce and demonstrate the basic techniques of calligraphy, after which I would ask some audience to try writing some characters.

I choose this topic because it is a unique way to appreciate the beauty of Chinese characters and understand the essence of Chinese culture. Moreover, I think only when the audience get involved can they truly understand the beauty of Chinese culture.

How do you like this idea? Tell me if you would like me to change. Best wishes to the event.

Yours,

Li Hua

4. Dear Jim,

Thank you for your recommendation of the English novel The Old Man and the Sea.

Having finished reading, I’ve harvested a lot. The tough man who fights against the big fish and sharks alone in the sea inspires me to brave frustrations in my life. And I have learned that we should stick to our dreams no matter what hardships we may encounter.

The book unfolds a new world to me. Thus, I make a plan for further reading. English novels enlightening my

mind will be included in my reading list. I intend to read one book a month. While reading, I will take down my understanding in time to gain more beyond the lines.

I would appreciate it if you could give me more recommendations.

Yours,

Li Hua

6. Good morning, everyone!

It's a great honor to deliver my last speech here as the President of English Drama Club.

Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind. Never will I forget the colorful activities during the past two years, such as the lectures on Shakespeare's plays, the course of drama appreciation and our amazing performances at the annual Art Festival. Our club not only gave us a platform to show ourselves, but also offered me a chance to witness the magic of communication and cooperation. My personal ability has been improving as well.

Today I must express my sincere gratitude to all of you. Thank you for always being there to support me. Wish

our club a brighter future. Thanks again.

2023北京高三二模英语汇编:阅读理解D篇

2023北京高三二模英语汇编 阅读理解D篇 (2023 北京东城统考二模)September 2022 was apparently the month artificial intelligence essay anxiety boiled over in academia, after a user of an AI writing service claimed to be getting straight A’s with essays “written” using artificial intelligence. Most professors expressed concern. One wrote, “Grading something an AI wrote is an incredibly depressing waste of my life.” As all this online depression was playing out, I asked my students, who were mostly majors in writing, to submit a 2,000-word proposal about a local issue. I asked them to rely on the AI as much as possible. After reviewing their 22 AI essays, I can tell you confidently that the technology just isn’t there. My students used free accessible text generators online and put in a lot of effort. But, if I had believed these were genuine student essays, the very best would have earned somewhere around a C or C-minus. Many of the essays had obvious red flags for AI generation: outdated facts, quotes from prior university presidents presented as current presidents, fictional professors and named student organizations that don’t exist. At the same time, the students reported that using AI required far more time than simply writing their essays the old-fashioned way would have. There has been a fair amount written about the supposed impressiveness of AI-generated text. There are even several high-profile AI-written articles, essays or even scientific papers or screenplays that showcase this impressiveness. In many of these cases, the “authors” have access to higher-quality language models than most students are currently able to use. But, more importantly, the published examples are generally the polished form of professional writers and editors. In contrast, many of my students’ AI-generated essays showed the common problems of student writing—uncertainty about the appropriate writing style, issues with organization and transitions, and inconsistent paragraphing. Obviously, producing a quality essay with AI requires having high writing skill and revising skill to produce appropriate outputs. My experimental so tells me that a good assignment sheet is the best defense against AI essays. If your assignment is “Describe the reasons for the U.S. Civil War”, you are more likely to get AI or downloaded essay submissions. My assignment was a challenge because it asked students to address local issues of concern. There are just not enough relevant examples in the data the AI text generators are drawing from. It has been just over five years since computer scientists declared, “We should stop training radiologists(放射科医生) now. Deep learning is going to do better than radiologists.” Well, we’re still training radiologists, and there’s no indication that deep learning is going to replace human doctors anytime soon. In much the same way, I strongly suspect full-on robot writing will always and forever be “just around the corner”. 1. What can we learn about the students in the experiment? A. Their writing efficiency was affected. B. Their essays were better structured. C. They preferred AI-written essays. D. They overcame AI’s weaknesses. 2. What does the author imply in Paragraph 3? A. Online text generators are far from reliable. B. Genuine student essays deserve higher marks.

2023北京高三二模英语汇编:阅读表达

2023北京高三二模英语汇编 阅读表达 (2023 北京东城统考二模)With society’s high pressures to achieve, it’s understandable that individuals prefer to hide their weak points—but doing so comes at a cost. I learned that lesson when I participated in a hiking expedition. As a new hiker, I struggled. The trip was difficult to me even without needing to carry my heavy camping packs. I was slowed down, yet I refused to tell my teammates in hopes that I would seem perseverant. To my delight and surprise, one of the more active members requested that we stop for a break. I quickly realized I wasn’t the only one hiding my weaknesses after noticing the rest of the team’s apparent relief. For many of us, authenticity, or behaving as one’s true self in daily life, is quite challenging. As social beings, we’ve learned to adapt and fit into our environment, making it challenging to display who we are at times. Yet, the advantage of authenticity is evident, driving its recent popularity among thought leaders. Authenticity even improved my hiking experience—the moment my group admitted to our shortcomings was when we started working better as a team. So, can being ourselves not only help us work better, but help those who workaround us? The truth is, it can. Researchers have found that not only did authentic workers have higher work engagement and lower work tiredness, but their teammates had the same results, regardless of whether they were genuine themselves. The results suggest that the benefits of authenticity go beyond the individual, and spread to teammates as well. So, we can improve our teammates’ work behavior by merely being ourselves. Why does authenticity boost our teammates? This is because authentic teammates do not prioritize protecting themselves at the cost of their work or relationships. Instead, they recognize the interests of both themselves and others when making decisions. This allows those they work with to feel safe while being themselves at work. By focusing lesson appearing hard-working in hopes to get ahead—and more on trying to be better all-around individuals—authentic teammates can make a great impact on their work environment. 1. How did the author feel when one team member asked for a rest during the hiking? _______________________________________________________________ 2. Why is it hard for people to display their true selves? _______________________________________________________________ 3. Decide which part of the following statement is wrong. Underline it and explain why. Authentic workers feel safe by being then selves at work, so authenticity boosts their teammates. _______________________________________________________________ 4. Apart from what is mentioned in the passage, what other benefit(s) do you think authenticity can bring to us?(In about 40 words) _______________________________________________________________ (2023 北京西城统考二模)In the mornings, as I walked from the train station to the office, I planned my day by making a to-do list in my head: the scientific articles I would read, the data sets I would analyze, and-most urgent of all-the insights into human nature that it was my job to discover.
