She passed away five years ago at the age of 65, but the impact she has left on the world of architecture is profound.Hadid was born into an upper-class Iraqi family in 1950. At the very beginning, she wanted to become a mathematician and studied science at the American University of Beirut, But at some point she realized that she preferred shapes to numbers. And she turned her concentration to architecture and went to London where she met the famous Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas.“There are 360 degrees, so why stick to one?” Hadid once said. Despite her abundance of amazing ideas, before the beginning of the 90s, not a single building based on her blueprints had been built. Her highly expressive style, while initially criticized and believed to be crazy, is now regarded as pioneering work. Her striking contemporary architecture, inspired by natural landforms, has graced the skylines of major metropolitan cities.“Women are always being told, ‘you’re not going to make it; It’s too difficult. You can’t do that Don’t enter this competition; You’ll never win it’,” Hadid said. “They need confidence in themselves and people around them for support.”Never one to be boxed in by conventions, Hadid proved society wrong. She received her first prize, the “Gold Medal Architectural Design” for her British Architecture in 1982. From then on, the awards kept rolling in. But the true triumph for Hadid came in 2004. Her project for the London Olympics Aquatic Center won her the Pritzker Architecture Prize. She became the first woman and first Muslim to earn the award, making a name for herself and paving the way for female architects. Hadid’s genius lives on in the array of many other spectacular build ings she has left behind in the world. Among them are the Guangzhou Opera House, the Beijing Daxing International Airport, as well as the Al Wakrah Stadium in Qatar where the 2022 FIFA World Cup will be held.Hadid may be gone, but her global influence on a new generation of female architects is here to stay.4. What made Hadid quit science to learn architecture?A．Her talent in architecture.B．Her interest in architecture.C．Her difficulty in learning science.D．Her encounter with Rem Koolhaas.5. What can we learn about Hadid’s works?A．Her architecture was inspired by mathematicsB．Her British Architecture won her the Pritzker Architecture Prize.C．Her architecture style was too bold to be accepted at the very beginning.D．Her works can only be found in European countries and the Middle East.6. What does paragraph 4 mainly about?A．The talk between Hadid and her colleague.B．The reason why women fail to be architects.C．The prejudice from society against women.D．The difficulty Hadid faced being an architect.7. What is the most profound impact Hadid has left on the world?A．She formed a unique style.B．She broke away from the convention.C．She received various architecture awardsD．She encouraged other women architects.The tea that has delighted and fascinated the world for thousands of years has finally received top-level global recognition as a shared cultural treasure of mankind. China’s traditional tea-making was added on Tuesday to the intangible cultural heritage list of UNESCO.The traditional tea processing techniques and associated social practices in China consist of knowledge, skills and practices concerning the management of tea plantations, picking of tea leaves, manual(手工的)processing, drinking and sharing of tea. Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea. Tea producers have developed six categories of tea: green, yellow, dark, white, oolong and black teas. Together with reprocessed teas, such as flower-scented teas, there are over 2, 000 tea products in China.Tea-related customs are not only found across the country, but also influence the rest of the world through the ancient Silk Road and trade routes. Tea is ubiquitous in Chinese people’s daily life, as steeped(浸泡)or boiled tea is served in families, workplaces, tea houses, restaurants and temples, etc. It is also an important part of socialization and ceremonies such as weddings and sacrifices. The practice of greeting guests and building relationships within families and among neighbors through tea- related activities is common to multiple ethnic groups, providing a sense of shared identity and continuity for the communities.In China, 44 registered national-level intangible cultural heritage entries are related to tea. There are over 40 vocational colleges and 80 universities that have set up majors in tea science or tea culture, resulting in over 3,000 graduates specializing in tea production and art every year, according to the ministry.China now has 43 items on the intangible cultural heritage list, continuing to be the most enlisted country in the world.8. What can be learnt from the passage?A．Chinese producers developed 44 categories of tea.B．Tea is quite popular with people all over the country.C．More than 2,000 tea products could be found in China.D．There’ re about 300 graduates specializing in tea production every year.9.

B．By making definitions.C．By giving examples. D．By making comparisons.11. In which kind of book may this text appear?A．A textbook. B．A travel journal.C．A story book. D．A cultural magazine.Award-winning Chinese shoe designer, Huang Qinqin, shares her transformative journey, combining cultural heritage and international design to shape the art of practical wear.Believing that the value of her products doesn’t lie in business operation, Huang always focuses on how to convey the stories behind her shoes to customers instead.“It is like storytelling, a natural ability I possess,” she said with a smile.However, Huang’s journey into design was unforeseen and it took her s everal years to discover her true passion. Huang switched her major from physics to international communications studies at university.While she found great enjoyment in these courses, she still didn’t know what she could do in the future.“One day, I grab bed a sheet of paper and began drawing some shoe designs I saw online.It was at that moment that the light suddenly dawned.” recalled Huang.To her astonishment, Huang discovered while international luxury shoe brands like Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin are household names, Chinese brands are rarely seen.This finding fueled Huang’s determination to pursue her career as a shoe designer, hoping to fill the blank in the international market.After returning to China from the UK, Huang established her own s hoe brand.“I think Chinese students studying abroad today all share a strong sense of mission—to showcase what China truly has to offer to the world,” Huang said.Looking back, Huang said that she took a long time to finally find her lifelong passion.“Ther e is a saying that one must achieve fame at a young age, but I believe it is never too late to unlock one’s potential, since everyone operates on their unique ‘time zone’,” she said.Before her current career path, Huang never stopped trying new things, including garden design and dance.These diverse experiences have all become precious treasures in her life, nurturing her self-directed learning abilities, which have turned out to be essential skills for her startup business today.12. What does Huang value most about her products?A．Design concept. B．Market share.C．Quality standard. D．Business operation.13. What further motivated Huang Qinqin to be a shoe designer?A．Passion for fashion and design.B．Lack of Chinese brands in the field.C．Desire to challenge conventional norms.D．Love for international luxury shoe brands.14. What can best describe Huang?A．Creative and flexible.B．Ambitious and easy-going.C．Talented and accessible.D．Responsible and humorous.15. What might Huang agree with?A．Well begun is half done.B．Think twice before you leap.C．Every step counts in your life.D．It matters much when you succeed.You know the feeling — your ears start to warm up, your tongue goes numb (麻木的), and you start sweating and taking deep brea ths. You’ve just eaten something spicy, knowing it would be painful, but you chose to do it anyway. Are humans just masochistic (自讨苦吃的), or is there something else going on? 16Spicy isn’t actually a taste like salty, sweet, sour and bitten —it’s a sens ation. 17 . When we eat foods containing capsaicin (辣椒素), our bodies are tricked into thinking the temperature is actually rising. In trying to relieve the burning sensation, our bodies release endorphins (内啡肽) which control pain and, at the same time, give a feeling of pleasure — like painkillers.This is what is happening chemically, but there is also a conscious side to choosing spicy food. Dr Tamara Rosenbaum, a Cognitive Neuroscientist, explains in an interview with the BBC that this is 18 . Furthermore, we obtain pleasure from the other ingredients chilli is generally cooked and eaten with—including fat, sugar and salt. So — like skydiving — eating chilli is a form of thrill-seeking, 19Humans, one of the few mammals on Earth that developed a taste for capsaicin, started cultivating chilli peppers about six thousand years ago. Human intervention changed the chilli pepper to suit human tastes and needs —including the pepper’s colour, size and capsaicin content-helping toexplain the many different types of chilli peppers now available. 20 . We eat around 57.3 million tons of peppers globally each year, and chilli is a key ingredient in traditional dishes from Mexico to Korea.When the bell rang on the last day of school, Susanna cheered along with her classmates.

I, as a mother, was tired from the anger and her inability to communicate because of her slowed language development.As I accompanied her into the car, I felt desperate. Nothing was right with our world. She’d been born around the same time when the nation was witnessing the birth of another Great Recession. My job and my house had been victims(牺牲品). Then this happened. My child’s language delay(语言发育迟缓)was identified, but doctors struggled to properly help her. I felt like we both needed to be rescued.I returned that afternoon as disenchanted with my little girl as when I left. Walking slowly toward the school’s playground gate, I found her preschool teacher racing to greet me. “You should have seen her today!” His breathy words were supported by excitement. I didn’t interrupt. “See that climber.” He pointed to a wooden piece of playground equipment that looked like a rock wall. I nodded. “Well, every day since she started school, she’s tried and failed to make it to the top.” He took a breath. “And today she did it!”He expressed his joy just as he’d witnessed her conquering Mount Everest! “She cheered and celebrated! I wish I’d recorded it!” His words comforted me. My daughter had conquered her mountain.As she ran toward me. I recognized something I hadn’t before. I saw her perseverance(毅力). I saw her strength.

Ensure to look out for morris dancing. It is a folk dancing that dates back to the 15th centuryMen and women wearing old-fashioned clothing dance in the streets of towns and villages across the country during the holiday periods.Some groups carry heavy black sticks which they bash(敲击) against each other while they dance. Other groups wave handkerchiefs(手帕) in the air when they perform. The dances are usually performed near a pub so that when they are over, the dancers and audience can sing some traditional folk songs over a pint of beer. The festivities will often continue long into the night, by which point most people are too drunk to think about performing again!Morris dancing is a great English tradition but it’s facing a big crisis( 危机). As the years go by, fewer and fewer young people are joining morris dancing groups. The dancers are getting older and older and if nothing is done to change this trend, the tradition will die out within the next few decades.If you’ve ever had the fortune to see morris dancing, you may understand why teenagers aren’t rushing to sign up. Putting it clearly, it’s not exactly the coolest thing for an 18-year-oldto be doing! Why dress up in bells and funny clothes when you could be going clubbing? Or playing sport? Or doing anything else?However, it would be a great shame to lose such a fun part of England’s history and culture. It’s important to look after some traditions and customs especially when it’s something as harmless and happy as morris dancing. So here’s a toast(祝酒)to the next generation of would-be morris dancers!8．What can we learn about morris dancers?A．They sing songs about beerB．They beat each other with black sticks.C．They offer handkerchiefs to the audience.D．They usually drink beer after the performance9．What difficulty does morris dancing face?A．It may disappear in future B．All the dancers are too oldC．It is hard for people to learn.D．Nothing can be done to develop it. 10．What do the questions suggest in Paragraph 4?A．The young are busy with other things.B．The young think morris dancing is boring.C．The young have all kinds of interests in life.D．The young always like doing the coolest things.11．What does the author want to express in the last paragraph?A．Morris dancing brings fun to people.B．England has rich history and cultureC．Morris dancing should be passed down.D．Some traditions are harmless to be passed down.Shanghai residents passing through the city’s eastern Huangpu district in October might have astonished at an unusual sight: a “walking” building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground in its entirety and relocated using new technology named the “walking” machine.In the city’s latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers used nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-story building. The supports act like robotic legs. They’re split into two groups which in turns rise up and down, imitating the human step. Attached sensors helpcontrol how the building moves forward.The Lagena Primary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, faced a new challenge — it’s T-shaped, while previously relocated structures were square or rectangular. Experts and technicians met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the “walking machine”.Over the course of 18 days, the building was rotated 21degrees and moved 62 meters away to its new location. The old school building is set to become a center for heritage protection and cultural protection. The project marks the first time this “walking machine” method has been used in Shanghai to relocate a historical building.In recent years, China’s rapid modernization has seen many historic buildings razed to clear land for skyscrapers and office buildings. But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage loss as a result of destruction across the country.Shanghai has been China’s most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a number of 1930s buildings in the famous Bund district and 19th-century “Shikumen” houses in the repaired Xintiandi neighborhood has offered examples of how to give old buildings new life.

It is a lot of stress to have a complicated life, full of schedules, meetings, possessions, and so forth. Usually, a simpler life translates to lesslifestyle piece by piece.First, get rid of all the possessions you haven't used in the last year. If you haven't put a thing to use in one year, it is probably not worth keeping. 17 Put anything you haven't used in one year in that bag. Next, manage your social media and electronics usage. We usually spend more time on our devices than we imagine. These days, people can spend the majority of their days on social media and electronic devices. These all-in-one devices are great tools. 18On a deeper level, we can simplify our thinking. Most of our thinking is not necessary.19 If you do not want to go that far, try to ignore the thoughts that are not related to the present. A continuous stream of thoughts is not necessary. Sure, some planning should be done for the future, but there is no need to overthink.20 We can get rid of possession's that are non-essential, manage our social media and electronics usage, and also clean up our thinking so that we are more in the present and do not engage in unnecessary worry, or anxiety. All these things take energy and time, of which we have only have a limited amount.A．No thought is important.B．Get rid of electronic devices'C．So, how do we simplify our lives?D．Is planning our thoughts effort-making?E．Simplifying our lives is a complex task.F．But they should not become the main focus of our life.G．Get a big garbage bag and walk around your living space.三、完形填空Molai grew up in a tiny village in India.

English is among them.Scientists say that this sleep study method greatly speeds language learning. They say that the ordinary person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day —and this does not affect his rest in any way. However, sleep teaching will only put into your head what you have studied already while you are awake.In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio for two weeks. Each lesson lasted twelve hours — from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary were given with the students awake. At 11 p.m. a lullaby (催眠曲) was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio in a soft and low voice broadcast the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 a.m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to go over the lesson. The soft music sent him back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 o'clock his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast. 41.By the learn while you sleep method, one____ . A. starts to learn a new lesson in sleep B. learns how to sleep betterC. is made to remember his lesson in sleepD. can listen to the radio broadcast while lying in bed 42.In the experiment, lessons were given____ . A. in the night timeB. after lullabies were broadcastC. while the student was awakeD. all through the twelve hours43.Before each lesson finishes, the student has to____ . A. get up and take breakfast B. be woken up by a loud voiceC. listen to the lesson again in sleepD. review the lesson by himself44.The sleep study method is being tried in many countries to teach____ . A. the English language B. grammar and vocabulary C. a number of subjects D. foreign languages Passage BFrom Monday until Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax and enjoy themselves. Some watch TV or go to the movies; others take part in sports. It depends on individual interests. There are many different ways to spend our spare time. Almost everyone has some kinds of hobbies. It may be anything fromcollecting stamps to making model airplanes. Some hobbies are very expensive, but others don't cost anything at all. Some collections are worth a lot of money; others are valuable only to their owners.I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare fifty cent piece worth S ｜250! He was very happy about his buying and thought the price was reasonable . On the other hand, my youngest brother collects matchboxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt if they are worth any money. However, to my brother they are very valuable. Nothing makes him happier than to find a new matchbox for his collection.That's what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is.：45.The underlined word “individual” in the first paragraph most probably means____ .A. differentB. strangeC. secretD. one's own46. In the writer's opinion, ____.A. all hobbies are very expensiveB. some hobbies don't cost anythingC. hobbies are worthlessD. hobbies are valuable to everybody47.Something that one enjoys doing in one's spare time is a____ .A. jobB. pleasureC. hobbyD. habit48.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The writer's brother has a large collection of matchboxes, which makes him very happy.B. We collect a subject in our spare time simply for the fun of it.C. The pleasure that a hobby can give is important.D. To have a hobby means to spend a lot of money.Passage CMillions of years ago there were many types of dinosaurs on earth. Most dinosaurs were plant eaters. The Apatosaurus, for example, had a long thin neck so that it could eat leaves from trees. Other dinosaurs were meat eaters. The Tyrannosaurus Rex killed smaller dinosaurs for food.Dinosaurs were real animals that once lived on the earth, but they died out about 65 million years ago. The disappearance of the dinosaurs is in some way a great mystery. Some scientists think that the climate changed suddenly. Fossils (化石) of trees tell us that the temperature dropped a lot and that the level of the sea dropped as well. This means that it got suddenly much colder. Perhaps the dinosaurs were too slow to change with the climate.A new idea is that a meteor (流星) crashed into the earth. Scientists discovered a place in Mexico where they think the meteor crashed. They think that there was a lot of dust from the meteor. The dust landed on the plants. Also the dust blocked (阻挡) the sun's light for as long as five years. Many animals, including dinosaurs, were plant eaters, and perhaps the dust killed them. This means there was nothing left for meat eating dinosaurs to eat, and so they died out. But, as many animals from that time didn’t die, we are not 100% su re what really happened.49.What is the subject discussed in the text?A. Dinosaurs, the real animals living millions of years ago.B. The two types of dinosaurs.C. The probable reasons for dinosaurs disappearance.D. A meteor crashed into the earth.50.What are the two possible explanations to the dinosaurs disappearance?A. Temperature dropping and sea level dropping.B. Climate changing and meteor's crashing.C. The dropping of temperature and sea level.D. Climate changing and the dust blocking the sun.○…………装…………○…………订…………○…………线…………○…… 姓名 考号 考场号51.What is the direct cause of the disappearance of meat eating dinosaurs? A. A meteor's crashing. B.

You can have fun together and make each other happ y. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will r un away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliabil ity.Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and wewould enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!52.Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?A. Understanding.B. honesty.C. Reliability.D. a sense of humor. 53.If you have fair weather friends, ______ .A. they will give you all that they have when you need helpB. you will be refused when you get into troubleC. you will become richD. you can be sure that you get real friends 54.Good friends need to ______.A. always point out each other's mistakesB. be helped with moneyC. understand each other's feelingsD. have money or luck 55.This passage mainly discuss ______ .A. the qualities of a friendB. where to choose friendsC. how to get along with friendsD. the importance of having a friend第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共40分）四、单词拼写（共计10 小题；每题1分；共10分）56.The society is always developing and we can't make exact____________(预测) of the future.57.Y ou should ______(当然) stay in the bed if the doctor tells you to.58.She is always ___________(乐观的) when she meets with difficulties.59.Will it be _______________(方便的)to come in the afternoon?60.She was __________(遭受) from a headache.61.Several official were_________（卷入）in the matter.62.She ______(变化) her dress as fashion changes.63.The orchestra will give two more ________(表演) this week.64.Students shouldn't leave school without the teacher's______(许可)65.Being deaf and dumb makes_________(交流) very difficult.五、写作（30分）近几年，由于汽车产业的迅速发展，私家车的购买量猛增。

陕西省延安中学2023-2024学年高一下学期第二次月考英语试卷
陕西省延安中学2023-2024学年高一下学期第二次月考英语试卷一、阅读理解Four Places to Listen to Free Music OnlinePandoraPandora is a popular Internet radio service that lets users create personalized stations and listen to music. To use Pandora, you will have to create an account using your email address and a password. As you find music you like, you can save songs to your collection. However, you can’t download any specific tracks to your computer or phone.LiveOneOn LiveOne, you’ll mostly find big artists, bands and songs along with interviews and news. While you won’t be able to stream all songs on demand for free due to licensing restrictions (限制), you will be able to create a station of similar tracks/artists from nearly any song. There’s a tab (标签) named “My Library” where you can save and share your favourite music.iHeartRadioiHeartRadio is a great website or app for listening to live radio stations. You can find local stations or check out stations from around the country. You won’t have to create an account to begin listening on iHeartRadio. but you can make one for free to save stations and playlists. Whether you decide to create an account or not. you won’t be able to download music from iHeartRadio.SpotifyIf you’re looking for free music online, you’ve most likely come across Spotify already. This resource is great for streaming popular hits while discovering new favourites. You can keep track of what you’ve recently played, and “favourite” songs. In addition to music. Spotify offers playlists of its most-played songs and information on local upcoming concerts.1．Which is a must before using Pandora?A．Saving some songs.B．Creating an account.C．Calling other users.D．Sending a private email.2．What can you do on “My Library” of LiveOne?A．Download popular songs.B．Make new friends online.C．Share your favourite music.D．Discover radio stations.3．What is special about Spotify?A．It offers news on local upcoming concerts.B．It requires no membership card.C．It allows users to download music for free.D．It features a station of similar artists.Binge-watching (刷剧) is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in a row. With developments in the speed and connectivity of the Internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now have their favorite shows stream (流播) directly to their television at their convenience.This behavior is nothing new. In fact, binge-watching has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015. The entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it. Often, instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis, an entire series will become available concurrently. Once the episode finishes, many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like” suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode.However, recent research suggests that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back (一集接一集地), almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and 25% have neglected their household chores (家务活). Next we’ll be missing work!Bingeing has other connections — binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking. All of them are often associated with a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. Lindsey Fussell, consumer group director, said, “The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist (抗拒) watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.” If people find binge-watching hard to resist, are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction?The countless number of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, when the activity begins to bleed into other areas, causing us to stop functioning, then it becomes a problem. So, what’s the answer? Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, “A little ofwhat you fancy does you good.”4．How did the writer develop the first paragraph?A．By giving a definition.B．By telling a story.C．By listing some examples.D．By analyzing the cause and effect. 5．Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “concurrently” in Paragraph2?A．For convenience.B．At the same time.C．In detail.D．Free of charge.6．What Lindsey said in Paragraph 4 implies that ______.A．people can’t control their feelings B．people can’t resist the temptation of Bingeing C．people have no patience to do work D．people are addicted to waiting for a new episode7．What advice did the writer give at last?A．To keep online media from stopping functioning.B．To enjoy entertainment as much as possible.C．To learn life lessons from the episodes.D．To watch episodes in a moderate way.This week, Google researchers published a paper describing results from an AI tool built to create music. The tool, called MusicLM, is not the first AI music tool to be launched. But the examples Google provided demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words.Several different music examples produced by MusicLM were published online. Some of the generated music came from just one-or two-word descriptions, such as “jazz”, “rock” or “techno (高科技舞曲)”. The tool also created other examples from more detailed descriptions containing whole sentences.In one example, Google researchers included these instructions to MusicLM, “It is a soundtrack of a game. It is fast-paced and upbeat, with a catchy electric guitar riff (反复乐节). The music is repetitive and easy to remember, but with unexpected sounds ...” In the resulting recording, the music seemed to keep very close to the description. The team said the more detailed the description was, the better the system could attempt to produce it.The MusicLM model operates similarly to the machine-learning systems used by ChatGPT. ChatGPT and MusicLM both require powerful computers to operate complex machine-learning models. The San Francisco-based company OpenAI launched ChatGPT late last year. ChatGPT has recently received a lot of attention because of its ability to generate complex writings and other content from just a simple description in natural languages. Such tools can produce human-like results because they are trained on huge amounts of data. Many different materials are fed into the systems to permit them to learn complex skills to create realistic works.However, the MusicLM researchers said there were some risks linked to the new tool. One of the biggest issues the researchers identified was biases (偏好) present in the training data. A bias might be including too much of one side and not enough of the other. The researchers said this raised a question about appropriateness for music generation for cultures underrepresented in the training data.8．What can we learn about MusicLM?A．It is the first AI music tool to be launched.B．It requires detailed descriptions of full sentences.C．It creates music based on simple descriptive words.D．It generates complex writings from a simple description.9．What is the similarity between ChatGPT and MusicLM?A．They can take the place of musicians.B．They have gained commercial success.C．They don't have any practical use in life.D．They are based on huge amounts of data. 10．Which of the following is an issue of the MusicLM model?A．Creating music with strong biases.B．Requiring too much training data.C．Being difficult for some people to use.D．Producing music works with no creativity. 11．What would be the best title for the text?A．The future of humans with AI B．A new AI tool to make musicC．Music created by some AI tools D．AI and its function in culture developmentCyber-bullying (网络欺凌) may take place in the online world, but it is no less damaging than in the real world. The Internet has become a kindness desert, a place where few flowers bloom. Bullying is pretty common. 12 According to those bullied, they’re usually seen asbeing different from the crowd.

This is a journalist’s interview with him. Interviewer: Did you have a lot of toys as a child?Steven Aarons:No. My parents were not in any sort of financial position to buy toys as gifts. If I had any toys, they were from my uncle.Interviewer: Why did you want to have a toy store?Steven Aarons: When I was thinking about starting a toy store, I had friends who were artists. I was discussing with them the idea that kids are a blank page. And I think the materials you give to a child are really important to fill it. Interviewer: What makes for a great toy store?Steven Aarons: A toy store should consider the development of a child and can mix in thefact that some things are only for play. We’ll have a small shelf of Barbie dolls, but we are not going to put it out there predominately(占绝大多数地). I try to think of play time as being the same as nutrition(营养). When you work on a dietfor your children you are trying to make sure they are eating healthy things. There’s a little bit of dessert mixed in, but you’re not going to give them just dessert. Interviewer: Are there any problems of owning a toy store?Steven Aarons: The hardest moment for me is when I’m helping someone who I sense doesn’t really enjoy having children. I think having children is one of the greatest things in life. I have a really good relationship with my kids.21. Why did Steven Aarons set up the toy store?A. To thank his uncle.B. To meet his friends’ needs.C. To provide good toys for kids.D. To achieve his childhood dream.22. What should a good toy store be like according to Steven Aarons?A. It should offer kids dessert.B.

The house is now in the early stages of building.Six years ago, Josh and his dad went into a Habitat for Humanity Restore, a home improvement store and donation center run by the nonprofit organization. They were there to buy a sink. Josh, then 11, also noticed a collection of pennies. “I instantly felt the urge to help out with that,〞 he said. Josh set a fundraising deadline of four years. Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100,000, but it didn’t shake his faith. He raised money at his school and other nearby schools. He collected money from neighbors, got publicity from local newspapers, and placed cans in stores so that people could donate extra change.Josh’s fundraising efforts began to produce results. Still, there were challenges. Four months before his deadline, he was $30,000 short. He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner in Uxbridge, which is in the province of Ontario. The event raised $19,000.“I didn’t care how long it took me,〞 Josh said. “I would raise $100,000.〞With three weeks left, a company called Josh’s house, offered to donate $18,000. Eventually, Josh reached a total of $124,000 before his deadline. “The momentum just kept going, and we decided to do more,〞 he said. “Josh’s Penny House〞 is being built by Habitat for Humanity in the city of Oshawa, along with 24 new townhouses. Josh has helped with some of the construction, as have other volunteers. He will choose the family that moves into the unit.Next year, the 17-year-old will head to college in British Columbia, Canada’swesternmost province.

The Penny House DreamCA tiny Alaska village has experienced a boom in tourism in recent years as polarbears spend more time on land than on Arctic sea ice.More than 2,000 people visited the Northern Alaska village of Kaktovik in 2021 to see polar bears in the wild. The far north community lies in an area where increasingly higher temperature has sped up the movement of sea ice, the primary habitat of polar bears. As ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond the continental shelf, more bears are remaining on land to look for food.Polar bears have always been a common sight on sea ice near Kaktovik, but villagers started noticing a change in the mid-1990s. More bears seemed to stay on land, and researchers began taking note of more female bears making home in the snow on land instead of on the ice to raise their babies. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists began hearing reports of the increasing number of polar bears in the area in the early 2000s. As more attention was given to the plight(困境) of polar bears about a decade ago, more tourists started heading to Kaktovik.The village had fewer than 50 visitors annually before 2021, said Jennifer Reed, of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. “Today we’re talking about hundreds and hundreds of visitors, many from around the world each year,〞 Reed said. Most tourists visit in the fall, when bears are forced toward land because sea ice is farthest away from the shore. Bruce Inglangasak, a local hunter who sometimes offers wildlife-viewing tours, said he’s been offering polar bear tours since 2021. Most of his clients(客户) are from China and Europe, as well as from the lower 48 U.S. states. Many tourists stay several days in the village, which has two small hotels. The villagers have benefited a lot from that. In turn, they provide more effectiveprotection for polar bears with financial support from tourism development.28. What causes more polar bears to stay on land in Kaktovia?A. Food shortage.B. Climate change.C. Habitats’ movement to shore.D. Their preference for land.29. How did common people feel about more sight of bears on land?A. Excited.B. Puzzled.C. Concerned.D. Shocked.30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Hotels in Kaktovik are in demand in autumn.B. Kaktovik has about 50 visitors annually.C. Inglangasak makes a living as a tour guide.D. Tourism affects the balance of nature.31. Which saying can describe the text?A. The fittest can survive.B. After a storm comes a calm.C. There is always opportunity in crisis.D. Every coin has two sides.DIf you have tried to ripen a piece of fruit by sticking it in a bag with a banana, you have used the power of ethylene(乙烯). Ethylene is an important plant hormone(激素). In banana and many other fruits, production of ethylene rises when the fruit is ready to ripen. This causes a hard, green, tasteless fruit to change into a soft,showy, sweet thing that’s ready-to-eat.Scientists have studied ethylene’s role in plants for more than a century and the food industry has long used the gas to control ripening. But how fruits control production of the hormone was unknown. Now scientists have found a master switch that leads the plant to start ethylene production when the time is, well, ripe.In a study published in Nature Plants, researchers found that before a fruit is ready to ripen, this master switch prevents ripening-related genes from being turned on before it’s time.Turning on the master switch “is like breaking the glass on a fire alarm,〞says study co-author James Giovannoni, a scientist at Cornell University. “Once you hit the switch, things really start happening.〞 The switch is important because ripening too early can have disastrous consequences for the plant--- it might miss its chance to reproduce.When the plant hits the ripening switch, some genes become active. This finally makes the fruit ready-to-eat. In some fruits, turning the ripening switch also leads to activation of machinery for making ethylene. Ripening fruit doesn’t happen in a moment; it happens over time. Once the fruit starts producing ethylene, the hormone turns on everything that needs to be turned on, keeping or even speeding up the ripening process. We now know that for fruits like apples, bananas, pears and tomatoes, this happens when the master switch is pressed. For fruits that ignore ethylene, like grapes, pineapples and many berries, the bag trick won’t work.32. Which of the following is responsible for ripening fruit?A. A group of hormones in a plant.B. The physical change of a plant.C. A kind of liquid in a plant .D. Certain genes in a plant.33. Why does Giovannoni make the comparison in Paragraph 4?A. To explain the key role of the master switch.B. To explain the advantages of the master switch.C. To show the process of studying the master switch.D. To show the difficulty of turning on the master switch.34. What happens after the master switch is turned on?A. The fruit stops the ripening process.B. The fruit becomes ripe very quickly.C. The plant begins to produce ethylene.D. The plant misses its chance to reproduce.35. What is the purpose of the text?A. To solve a problem.B. To make a prediction.C. To give a practical advice.D. To present a research finding.第二节〔一共5小题；每一小题2分，满分是10分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

In many countries, the two sources of heat used for cooking are natural gas or electric stoves. The World Health Organization(WHO) warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. The WHO finds that poor cooking, heating and lighting technologies are killing millions of people each year.Indoor air pollution results from the use of dangerous fuels and cook stoves in the home. WHO officials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating and lighting. And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Of that number, the WHO says about 4.3 million people die from household air pollution given off by simple biomass(生物燃料）and coal stoves.These findings show that the home use of poisonous fuels is to blame for many of these deaths. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste and so on. Carlos Dora is Coordinator in the WHO’ s Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health. He says people should not use unprocessed coal and kerosene(煤油）fuel indoors. He says opening a window or door to let out the harmful air will not correct the situation. It will only pollute the outdoors. “New technologies and clean fuels can rid people of this problem.”The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of families in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatemala and Peru, are also at risk.Nigel Bruce is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way.“There are already many technologies for clean fuels available now. An effective and reasonably low-cost ethanol(酒精）stove that is made by Dometic (a Sweden-based company)is now being tested out. Another interesting development is electric induction stoves.” In India, you can buy an induction stove for about $8. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.1. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A．By making classifications. B．By listing numbers.C．By following time order. D．By describing a process.2. According to Carlos Dora, what is the best solution to indoor air pollution?A．People should use an effective air cleaner.B．People should use new technologies and clean fuels.C．People should open a window or door to let out the harmful air.D．People should prevent themselves from being exposed to harmful air..3. What can we learn from the passage?A．Most of the deaths from indoor pollution are in developing countries.B．Burning solid fuels can help limit indoor air pollution .C．People can buy ethanol stoves made by Dometic in India.D．There are already two technologies for clean fuels available for use.4. Which would be the best title for the passage?A．The way we cook is changing.B．Cause of indoor air pollution.C．The development of electric stoves.D．Indoor air pollution kills millions each year.3. Is your doctor telling you the truth? Possibly not, according to a new survey in Health Affairs of nearly 1,900 doctors around the country.The researchers found that 55% of the doctors said that in the last year they had been more positive about a patient s prognosis (预判) than his medical history. And 10% said they had told their patient s something that wasn’t true. About a third of the doctors said they did not completely agree that they should disclose medical errors to their patients, and 40% said they didn’t feel the need to disclose financial ties to drug companies.Really? The study’s lead author, Dr. Lisa Iezzoni, a medicine professor at Harvard Medical School and director of the Mongan Institute for Health Policy at Massachusetts General Hospital, was surprised to learn how dishonest her colleagues were. “Some of the numbers were l arger than I expected they might be,” she says.Why the white lies? In some cases, Iezzoni says it was for self- protection. Nearly 20% of the doctors admitted that they didn’t disclose a medical error to their patients because they were afraid of being punished for improper treatment. In other cases, it may have been for the patient’s benefit. Some might spare an anxious patient from hearing about the slightly abnormal results of a lab test, for example, if it has no negative effect on the patient’s heal th.“After all doctors are human too,” says Iezzoni. “ They don’t want to upset their patients, they don’t want their patients to look unhappy or burst into tears. But they also need to be professionals; so they need to tell themselves that if there is a difficult truth they need to tell their patients, they need to work out a way of communicating that effectively.”That’s important for doctors to appreciate, because as well-intentioned as their lies may be, other studies consistently show that patients prefer the truth, and would rather hear unpleasant news thanremain ignorant about an awful medical condition. Being fully informed is a way that patients can prepare for whatever might occur. Therefore, it is necessary for doctors to learn to express themselves.1. About the new survey in Health Affairs, we can learn that .A．10% of the doctors admitted that they had lied to their patientsB．about half of the doctors were unwilling to disclose medical errorsC．40% of the doctors preferred to work in drug companiesD．about 30% of the doctors were positive on predicting the patients’ disease2. Some doctors surveyed tell the white lies because they .A．were trying to defend themselves B．wanted to prove they were professionals C．knew little about the patient s’ situations D．wanted the patients to spend more money 3. The author writes the text mainly to .A．report some medical errors B．talk about the needs of patientsC．persuade doctors to improve skills D．discuss the doctor-patient relationship4. 将下列几个部分(A、B、C、D和E)按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。
