Coming of age is that time in each of our lives when we begin to see the possibilities.The world opens up in ways that mature our vision and give us a sense of responsibility and grate- fulness.Connor had just started college and loved being at that stage in his life where he could eat all the pizza he wanted，yet engage in adult conversations with his parents about the responsibility to make life better for others.Connor's optimism was infectious.There was so much he could do，and so much he could become.
But it all ended one night when Connor was distracted while driving on a Colorado high- way.A young man，who gave off so much light，suddenly went dark.
Connor's father，David，took it particularly hard.A father sees more than his own traits（性格）in his son；he sees greater possibilities than he achieved.Taking that hope away left David feeling at a loss.But Connor's optimism was one of those traits passed on to him by his father.So，David got to work.
First，he established the Honor Connor Scholarship Fund to reward students who served in the community.Next，he went to work creating a research-based curriculum that educates University of Colorado Boulder students and their families about the dangers of texting while driving.It includes a very simple three-partpromise：Do not text or use social media while driving，speak out if riding with a driver who is distracted and encourage friends and family to drive phone-free.
David now works with lecturers at various colleges and high schools，ensuring young minds understand how statistically at risk they are when they text while driving.He's become a passionate advocate for preparing young people to drive safely and not reach for their phones while they're at the wheel."I just don't want other parents to go through what I did when I lost Connor，"says David."It's just so preventable."
5. What's the purpose of paragraph 1？ ______

8. Why did David work with lecturers under a research-based curriculum？ ______

This was a major week in AI （Artificial Intelligence），with some of the largest companies announced their most updated and leading models：GPT-4 from OpenAI's made its first show to the public，while Google put out its Med-PaLM 2，a new-and-improved medical model etc.Meanwhile，Company Anthropic introduced its lighter and cheaper Claude API，which is a ChatGPT competitor.And in China，Tsinghua launched ChatGLM，a chat-based Chinese-English model，in somewhat as a reminder of ChatGPT.In this AI spring，much awaits for customers.
Designs are on the rise.November's release ChatGPT turned AI a breaking news.Two months later，it increased to 100 million monthly active users，making it the fastest-growing consumer application in history.Earlier this month，OpenAI came to market for the first time—the ChatGPT，with its models still advancing.Finally，both Google and Microsoft put out AI plans as well.
Funds are flooding.Recent attention turns to a large amount of investment on Microsoft's ﹩10 billion OpenAI.The past few months have witnessed a "gold rush" for new AI model startups （新企业）.Some outstanding ones：Adept raised ﹩350 million，Google dropped another ﹩300 million into Anthropic，Character AI raised ﹩200 million from Andreesen Horowitz，Perplexity raised ﹩25 million，and Salesforce Ventures launched a ﹩250 million fund.
Demands for policy.As foundation models change rapidly，the demand for AI policy grows as well，which catches the attention of top policymakers across the world，attempting to ensure AI security.In the U.S.，Congressman Ted Lieu presented a report calling for AI regulation that was written by ChatGPT，accompanied by a column （专栏） in the New York Times.
"AI is no longer a matter of science fiction，nor is it a technology confined or restricted to research labs.AI will dramatically change our lives.Jobs like journalists，lawyers and doctors are facing challenges.AI is a technology that is already being highly concerned."

Do you like spicy food？
What's your opinion on spicy food？Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili peppers in their dinner while others can't get enough of them.
Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love the chili while others loathe it.Plenty of research has been done on the subject，dating as far back as the 1970s.Previous results showed that a love of chilies is related to childhood experiences，and that cultural influences affect our taste too.But the latest study has found that a person's love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality more than anything else，CBC News reported.
"We have always assumed that liking drives intake - we eat what we like and we like what we eat.But no one has actually directly bothered to connect personality with intake of chili peppers，" said Professor John E.Hayes from Pennsylvania State University，who led the study.
But before you look at the study，you should first know that "spicy" is not a taste，unlike sour，sweet，bitter and salty taste.It is，in fact，a burning feeling that you feel on the surface of your tongue.This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by people's longing for thrill，something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster.
In the study，97 participants，both male and female，were asked to fill out questionnaires about their personality，for example，whether they like new experiences or tend to avoid risks.They were then given a glass of water with capsaicin （辣椒素），the plant chemical that makes a chili burn，mixed into it.
By comparing the answers to the questionnaire and what participants said they felt about the spicy water，researchers found that those who tended to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water.
Interestingly，we used to believe that the reason why some people can withstand（耐受） spicy food is that their tongues have become less sensitive to it.However，this latest study has found otherwise. "It's not that it doesn't burn as badly，but that you actually learn to like the burning feeling，" Hayes explained.
13. What's the meaning of the underlined word "loathe" in the second paragraph？ ______
A. Dislike. B. Fear. C. Put up with. D. Adapt to.
14. What did Professor John E.Hayes and his team discover from their study？ ______
A. What we eat actually helps to develop our personality.
B. Males are more likely to enjoy spicy food than females.
C. Those trying to avoid risks tend to be less interested in spicy food.
D. People are wrong to treat "spicy" as a kind of taste rather than a feeling.
15. Why do some people like spicy food according to the recent study？ ______
A. Because their taste has become less sensitive.
B. Because they love the burning feeling.
C. Because they want to challenge themselves.
D. Because the more they try spicy food，the less it burns.
16. What's the main idea of the passage？ ______
A. What one likes to eat mainly depends on one's personality.
B. Whether one enjoys spicy food depends largely on one's personality.
C. One's personal experiences have nothing to do with their taste.
D. Different people have different taste.

阅读理解解题步骤：首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意，因为阅读理解题一般没有标题，所以，速读全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速读的过程中，应尽可能多地捕获信息材料；其次细读题材，各个击破，掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读每篇材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息，要善于抓住每段的主题句，阅读时，要有较强的针对性，对于捕获到的信息，要做认真分析，仔细推敲，理解透彻，只有这样，针对题目要求，才能做到稳、准。

5~8.【答案】C、B、D、C
【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据第一段Connor had just started college and loved being at that stage in his life where he could eat all the pizza he wanted，yet engage in adult conversations with his parents about the responsibility to make life better for others.Connor's optimism was infectious.There was so much he could do，and so much he could become.（康纳刚刚开始上大学，他喜欢在他生命中的那个阶段，他可以吃所有他想吃的披萨，但也可以与他的父母进行成人对话，谈论让他人生活得更好的责任。康纳的乐观很有感染力。他能做的事情很多，他能成为的人也很多。）可知主要讲述了Connor的成长和美好前程，其目的是衬托David失去儿子后的痛苦。因此C.To set off David's great pain of losing his son.（来缓解大卫失去儿子的巨大痛苦。）符合题意。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据第二段But it all ended one night when Connor was distracted while driving on a Colorado high- way.A young man，who gave off so much light，suddenly went dark.（但这一切在一天晚上结束了，当时康纳在科罗拉多的高速公路上开车时分心了。一个年轻人，他发出如此多的光，突然变得黑暗。）可知，Connor开车时分心了，在交通事故中失去了生命。故选B。
（3）细节理解题。根据第三段A father sees more than his own traits（性格）in his son；he sees greater possibilities than he achieved.Taking that hope away left David feeling at a loss.But Connor's optimism was one of those traits passed on to him by his father（父亲在儿子身上看到的不仅仅是他自己的品质；他看到了比他实现的更大的可能性。这一希望的破灭让大卫感到不知所措。但是康纳的乐观是他父亲遗传给他的特质之一）可知，Connor的乐观是遗传他的父亲David。故选D。
（4）推理判断题。根据第四段Next，he went to work creating a research-based curriculum that educates University of Colorado Boulder students and their families about the dangers of texting while driving.（接下来，他着手创建一个基于研究的课程，教育科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的学生和他们的家人开车时发短信的危险。）可知，课程内容就是宣传驾驶时发短信的危险。再根据最后一段"I just don't want other parents to go through what I did when I lost Connor，"says David."It's just so preventable."（"我只是不想让其他父母经历我失去康纳时的经历，"大卫说。"就是这么防不胜防。"）可知，他的目的是希望能够避免类似的悲剧重演。因此C.He wanted to prevent similar sad stories repeating.（他想防止类似的悲伤故事重演。）符合题意。故选C。
本文是一篇记叙文。Connor在一次交通事故中失去了生命。Connor的父亲David化悲痛为力量，为大学设立奖学金并宣传安全驾驶知识。
一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
　　阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
二、看题干，带着问题读文章。
　　首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
　　在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
　　猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。

一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
　　阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
二、看题干，带着问题读文章。
　　首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
　　在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
　　猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。
