I was doing some Christmas shopping in a toy store and decided to look at Barbie dolls for my nieces. A nicely dressed little girl was excitedly looking through the Barbie dolls as well. As she was looking, a little boy came to the Pokemon toys. He was dressed neatly, but his clothes were obviously old. He was with his father as well, and kept picking up the Pokemon video toys. Each time he picked one up and looked at his father, his father shook his head and said, “No.”
The little girl had chosen her Barbie. However, she stopped and was watching them. Rather dejectedly, the boy had to give up the Pokemon toys and choose something else. The little girl put her Barbie back on the shelf, and ran over to the Pokemon toys. She excitedly picked up one and raced towards the checkout. I picked up my purchases and got in line behind them. Then, much to the little girl’s delight, the little boy and his father got in line behind me. After the toy was paid for and bagged, the little girl handed it back to the cashier (收银员) and whispered something in her ear. The cashier smiled and put the package under the counter.
I paid for my purchases and was rearranging things when the little boy came up to the cashier. The cashier checked his purchases and said, “Congratulations, you are my hundredth customer today, and you win a prize!” With that, she handed the little boy the Pokemon toys, and he could only stare in surprise. It was exactly what he had wanted!
The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway during all of this. Then they walked out. As I walked back to my car, I heard the father ask his daughter why she had done that. I’ll never forget what she said to him. “Daddy, didn’t Grandparents want me to buy something that would make me happy?” He said, “Of course they did, honey.” To which the little girl replied, “Well, I just did!”
I feel very shocked to have witnessed the true spirit of Christmas in that toy store, in the form of a little girl who understands more about the meaning of this festival than most adults I know.
4．The underlined word “dejectedly” in the second paragraph probably means ________.
A．disappointedly B．curiously C．excitedly D．unexpectedly
5．What did the little girl mean when saying “Daddy, didn’t Grandparents want me to buy something that would make me happy?”
A．Her Grandparents wanted her to be happy. B．The Pokemon toys made her happy.
C．Making the little boy happy made her happy. D．Her Grandparents hoped that she could help others.
6．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．The story happened before Christmas.
B．The little boy had not enough money to buy the Pokemon toys.
C．The author was deeply moved by the behavior of the little girl.
D．Although the little girl liked the Pokemon toy very much, she gave it to the boy.

On the “healthy” section of any breakfast menu, you’re sure to see an egg white omelet (煎蛋卷). With no fat and just a quarter of the calories in a whole egg, the whites look like the best choice at first glance. Not so fast, though new research shows a good reason why you might want to keep the yolk (蛋黄) in if you want to get fit. Plus, forget the bad impression that the cholesterol (胆固醇) in yolks has gotten in the past. The USDA removed limits on dietary cholesterol in its most recent dietary guidelines. It’s all because evidence doesn’t back up claims that the cholesterol you eat has much influence on blood cholesterol levels.
In a recent study, researchers had ten young men eat either whole eggs or egg whites after completing a strength-training workout. Both egg choices contained 18 grams of protein(蛋白), and the eggs were developed with chemical markers. Thanks to them, the researchers tracked how the men’s bodies used amino acids (氨基酸) from the eggs and egg whites, and found some surprising results. About 65 to 70 percent of amino acids were available in the blood for both the whole egg and egg white groups suggesting they’d be equally useful in building muscles. But the rest of the results didn’t back up that conclusion.
When the researchers looked specifically at how much protein synthesis — the process that helps muscles repair and grow — occurred, one form of egg clearly did better than the other. “Having whole eggs immediately after exercise resulted in greater protein synthesis than just having egg whites,” says lead study author Nicholas Burd in a statement.
Although this study was too small to be conclusive, its conclusion backs up whole egg benefits that nutritionists have been praising for years. From their point of view egg whites are high-protein, low-calorie, but the yolk contains nearly all of an egg’s vitamins. And one study found that adults who eat whole eggs in the morning lose more weight and body fat than those who get the same number of calories from a bread-based breakfast. While no large studies have looked into the weight-loss benefits of whole eggs vs egg whites, there’s also no evidence that the 140 calories in two whole large eggs should scare you away. Crack on, egg lovers.
7．What’s implied in Paragraph 1?
A．The whites can help people have a good shape.
B．The yolk’s function is different from the whites.
C．People tend to consider the yolk to be unhealthy.
D．The yolk has much to do with blood cholesterol levels.
8．Why were the eggs developed with chemical markers?
A．To help process the proteins better. B．To make them healthier for people.
C．To track the amino acids during digestion. D．To help the body consume amino acids.
9．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Egg Whites VS Whole Eggs B．Egg White Omelets or Just the Yolk
C．The Correct Way to Build Muscles D．Unknown Facts about Egg White Omelets

Can people who understand the emotions of others better interpret emotions conveyed through music? A new study by an international team of researchers suggests the abilities are linked.
The study’s results provide a foundation for future research that could test the impact of socially engaged music listening on social cognitive ability, and whether listening to music can be added to therapeutic (治疗的) techniques used in social skills training for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (孤独症谱系障碍).
The findings were published recently in a scientific journal of the American Psychological Association. The study was led by Benjamin A．Tabak, assistant professor of psychology. “Empathy (共情) is most often thought of in the context of social interactions, but there are many other forms of social communication, including music,” Tabak said. “Music can convey meaning and emotion and also bring emotional responses, but what is responsible for its emotional power is poorly understood.”
Tabak and his colleagues wanted to test their theory about empathy and music. For the purposes of this study, they measured the ability to correctly understand others’ thoughts and feelings — empathic accuracy — and the extent to which one feels the emotions that another feels.
“We thought it would be interesting to study whether people who more accurately under-stand others’ thoughts and feelings might also be more accurate in understanding what musicians are intending to convey through music,” Tabak said. “Similarly, we wanted to know whether people who tend to feel the emotions that others are experiencing also tend to feel the emotions conveyed through music.”
The initial set of findings found support for both hypotheses. In particular, the results suggest that empathic accuracy as a skill extends beyond interpersonal interactions into music. Tabak believes that the study provides tentative support for the theory that music is first and foremost a social behavior that gradually develops to help individuals connect with others and better understand and manage their social environment.
10．What can the study result be used to do?
A．Be the basis for the next study. B．Apply music to social skills training.
C．Decide the music suitable for autism. D．Test the impact of music on emotions.
11．About the link between music and emotions, what needs further understanding?
A．The effect of music. B．The academic support.
C．The function of music. D．The emotions music expresses.
12．What is Tabak’s attitude towards the study?
A．Ignorant. B．Doubtful. C．Confident. D．Pessimistic.
13．Which can be the best title for the text?
A．The Social Behavior Music Reflects
B．The Ability To Accurately Understand Empathy
C．Research Will Set Foundation For Further Research
D．Research Shows The Role Empathy May Play In Music

The release of GPT-4, the latest language model developed by OpenAI, has raised concerns about its potential impact on the job market. In the finance industry, fears around AI disruption are particularly bitter, as many jobs involve the processing of data that could easily be done by machines.
This has raised questions about what it means for the CFA Institute, which offers chartered financial analyst qualifications to humans who pay a considerable fee to take the exams. If an AI algorithm can pass the CFA exam, it could threaten the CFA Institute’s revenue model and potentially affect several hundred thousand bank employees.
However, recent experiments have shown that GPT-4 is not yet capable of passing the CFA exam. The simulation scored only 8 out of a possible 24 points, demonstrating that faking logical thought is very different from fake reasoning through the application of rules and definitions. Humans still keep an edge in this area.
The CFA exam relies heavily on memorization and pattern matching, rather than processing the meaning of each question. This has allowed humans to continue to take the advantage at the exam compared to machines that rely on algorithms and logical deductions.
While the development of advanced AI may pose a threat to some industries, including finance, it appears that in the case of CFA accreditation, humans still have the upper hand. For now, those working in financial regulations and those responsible for setting exams in this field can breathe a small sigh of relief knowing their jobs are safe – at least for a little while longer.
In conclusion, the release of GPT-4 has sparked concerns about its potential to disrupt the job market, especially in finance. However, experiments have demonstrated that AI still has limitations, particularly in areas requiring fake reasoning through memorized answers. While this news may reassure those in the finance industry, there is no denying that AI technology continues to transform many aspects of work and life.
14．What is the CFA Institute?
A．An organization that develops artificial intelligence algorithms.
B．An organization that offers financial analyst qualifications.
C．An organization that is threatened by the development of AI in finance.
D．An organization responsible for setting exams for bank employees.
15．Why are there concerns about GPT-4’s impact on the job market in finance?
A．It could potentially replace humans in processing data.
B．It is capable of passing the CFA exam and taking over jobs.
C．The finance industry has been slow to adopt new technology.
D．Bank employees are actively protesting against AI adoption.
16．How do humans currently keep an upper hand over advanced AI in passing the CFA exam?
A．They are better at memorization and pattern matching.
B．They have greater logical reasoning abilities.
C．They have access to more resources during the exam.
D．They have a deeper understanding of financial regulations.
17．How do recent experiments with GPT-4 affect the job market in finance?
A．They demonstrate that humans’ jobs are safe for the foreseeable future.
B．They suggest that banks will soon be replacing humans with AI.
C．They prove that AI has already surpassed humans in financial analysis.
D．They have no impact on the job market.


二、七选五
“Looking up, I find the moon bright; Bowing, in homesickness I’m drowned.” When Ifeoma Gladys from Nigeria, first read the line from Li Bai’s Thoughts on a Tranquil Night, the girl felt the poet’s experiences and emotions (情感). “I can’t help but feel homesick,” said Gladys, 22, who is studying Chinese Language and Literature at Southwest University.
From then on, the Nigerian girl fell in love with ancient Chinese poetry. 18 For example, in Li Bai’s poem Hard Is the Way of the World, Gladys felt the ambition and faith of tile poet. While reading Cao Cao’s A Short Song, she learned that life is short and thus we should let go of the difficulties we couldn’t overcome and value the present. 19 In her eyes, it is how it can travel over the mountains and spread from the ancient past to the present, but never change its original intention, keeping its truth and emotional weight.
“This is what many popular novels and online articles are unable to do,” said the Nigerian girl. 20 For example, Li Bai wrote, “Heaven has made us talents; we’re  not made in vain. A thousand gold coins spent, more will turn up again.” About 1,000 years later, Goethe, a German poet, would say something quite similar - 21 “Behind the beautiful poems, I discovered the wisdom of the Chinese people, the charm of Chinese culture, and the worldwide basis of Chinese culture as well,” said Gladys.
Now, the girl hopes to become a professional translator. 22
A．She learned Chinese culture and wisdom through it.
B．What is the most attractive part of ancient Chinese poetry?
C．She gradually found foreign poems are different to Chinese poems.
D．How can ancient Chinese poetry attract so many people around the world?
E．The person born with a talent is meant to use it and will find great happiness.
F．She wants to promote Chinese culture and connect China with the whole world.
G．But she’s more surprised how the cultural quality of Chinese poetry can reach audiences worldwide.

四、用单词的适当形式完成短文
阅读下面的短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
You already know that smoking is bad for you and that drinking too much alcohol may 38 (short) your life. Now a new study says that spending too much time in a chair and not having enough sleep should join a short list of behaviors 39 (know) to increase your risk of premature death.
Sitting for a long time and lack of sleep were damaging in their own way, but when combined with more traditional risk factors, 40 had a multiplier effect that made an early death far more likely.
The findings, published in the journal PLOS Medicine, make clear that “some risk behaviors tend to come together and 41 the joint risk could be much higher than the sum of the individual risks”.
For instance, smoking was the most dangerous risk factor among the six studied. The small number of people for 42 smoking was their only bad habit were 90 percent more likely to die during the course of the study than were people with practiced clean living in every aspect. People who reported high alcohol 43 (consume) as their only risk factor did not seem to put their lives in danger. But for those who combined heavy drinking with smoking, the risk of premature death was doubled. And when lack of sleep 44 (add) to the mix, the likelihood of an early death was nearly five times 45 (great) even though lack of sleep by itself had only a light effect 46 death.
Considering factors such as age, gender, education and other factors, the researchers saw 47 clear pattern. It was a person’s bad lifestyle that contributed to his or her risk of premature death.

15．细节理解题。根据第一段中“In the finance industry, fears around AI disruption are particularly bitter, as many jobs involve the processing of data that could easily be done by machines.(在金融行业，对人工智能颠覆的担忧尤其强烈，因为许多工作涉及处理数据，而这些数据很容易由机器完成)”可知，有人担心GPT-4对金融就业市场的影响是因为它有可能取代人类处理数据。故选A。
16．细节理解题。根据第四段“The CFA exam relies heavily on memorization and pattern matching, rather than processing the meaning of each question. This has allowed humans to continue to take the advantage at the exam compared to machines that rely on algorithms and logical deductions.(CFA考试很大程度上依赖于记忆和模式匹配，而不是处理每个问题的含义。与依赖算法和逻辑推理的机器相比，这使得人类在考试中继续占据优势)”可知，在通过CFA考试方面，人类目前更擅长记忆和模式匹配，从而保持对先进人工智能的优势。故选A。
17．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In conclusion, the release of GPT-4 has sparked concerns about its potential to disrupt the job market, especially in finance. However, experiments have demonstrated that AI still has limitations, particularly in areas requiring fake reasoning through memorized answers.(总之，GPT-4的发布引发了人们对其可能扰乱就业市场的担忧，尤其是在金融领域。然而，实验表明，人工智能仍然有局限性，特别是在需要通过记忆答案进行虚假推理的领域)”可知，GPT-4的实验证明在可预见的未来，人类的工作是安全的。故选A。

38．考查动词。句意：你已经知道吸烟有害健康，酗酒可能会缩短你的寿命。情态动词may后接动词原形，表示“缩短”用动词shorten。故填shorten。
39．考查非谓语动词。句意：现在，一项新的研究表明，花太多时间坐在椅子上而睡眠不足应该加入一个已知会增加过早死亡风险的行为清单。分析句子成分可知，宾语从句的谓语动词为“should join”，所以提示词应为非谓语动词，与逻辑主语a short list of behaviors为动宾关系，应用过去分词作后置定语。故填known。
40．考查代词。句意：久坐和睡眠不足本身就有危害，但当它们与更传统的风险因素结合在一起时，会产生乘数效应，使早死的可能性大大增加。分析句子成分可知，but后的分句中，主句缺少主语，结合句意应为代词they指代前文提到的“Sitting for a long time”和“lack of sleep”。故填they。
41．考查宾语从句。句意：发表在《公共科学图书馆·医学》(PLOS Medicine)杂志上的研究结果明确指出，“一些风险行为往往会结合在一起，且联合风险可能远远高于单个风险的总和”。分析句子成分可知，动词短语make clear后接了两个宾语从句，第二个宾语从句成分和意义都完整，所以用只起连接作用的that，且不可以省略。故填that。
42．考查定语从句。句意：在研究过程中，一小部分吸烟是唯一坏习惯的人死亡的可能性比在各方面都有实际清洁生活的人高90%。分析句子成分可知，“for_______smoking was their only bad habit”应为定语从句，修饰先行词people，关系词替代先行词在定语从句中充当介词“for”的宾语，应用关系代词whom。故填whom。

45．考查形容词比较级。句意同上。结合上下文语境可知，此处是把睡眠不足导致早死的风险和一般情况作对比，应用great的比较级greater作表语。故填greater。
46．考查介词。句意同7小题。结合句意表达“对……有影响”应用have an effect on。故填on。

51．to have covered
【详解】考查固定句型和非谓语动词。句意：据报道，那天他步行走了30英里。sb. be reported to do...是固定句型，其中不定式作主语补足语，cover用动词不定式；结合句意“走了30英里”发生在谓语动词之前，是已经完成的动作，应用不定式的完成式to have covered。故填to have covered。
52．where/in which
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：漩涡是海洋中的一小块区域，水在这里快速移动，附近漂浮的物体被拉到漩涡中心。_______ the water is moving quickly around是定语从句，修饰a small area。引导词在从句中作地点状语，应该用关系副词where引导该从句，也可以用介词in+which引导定语从句。故填where或in which。
53．scheduled
【详解】考查动词。句意：按计划，他将于明年毕业。分析句子可知，as scheduled为固定搭配，表示“如期；按照预定时间”，符合语境。另外，as scheduled是 as is scheduled 的省略说法，as引导的是一个非限制性定语从句，代替后面整个句子。故填scheduled。
54．has been desiring
【详解】考查动词时态及主谓一致。句意：从上个月开始，乔治和他以前的一些同学就一直想在这个暑假举行一次20年的聚会。根据时间状语Since last month及句意可知，此处表示过去的动作一直持续到现在，还有可能持续下去，应用现在完成进行时；along with连接并列主语时，谓语动词与前面的主语，在人称和数上保持一致，此处与George保持一致，助动词应用has。故填has been desiring。

55．Assuming
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：假设我被选为学生会主席，我会组织更丰富多彩的课外活动来丰富我们的学校生活。assuming that假设，如果，为独立主格结构，用作条件状语的分词短语，可以把它视作引导条件从句的连词，相当于if 的用法。故填Assuming。

57．being trapped

【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：如果有人在被困72小时后获救，将被视为奇迹。after是介词，后面用动名词，trap和逻辑主语someone是被动关系，用动名词的被动形式being trapped作宾语。故填being trapped。
58．torn apart by their families
【详解】考查过去分词和短语。根据中文可知，此处意为“被他们的家庭拆散”，表达为tear sb. apart by their families，此处作名词短语a young couple的后置定语，a young couple与tear apart之间为被动关系，故应用过去分词作后置定语，故填torn apart by their families。
59． paid off
【详解】考查动词短语。表示“取得回报”可知短语为pay off，描述过去发生的事情用一般过去时。故填paid off。
60． It is estimated that

61．Overcome with sorrow
【详解】考查短语和非谓语动词。对比中英文句子，空处需填“悲痛欲绝”即“被悲痛所压倒”；“被……所压倒”表达为be overcome with，“悲痛”表达为sorrow，因此“悲痛欲绝”表达为be overcome with sorrow；句中已有谓语动词jumps，此处省略be，用过去分词短语作状语。故填Overcome with sorrow。
【点睛】
62．take my time over
【详解】考查动词短语和时态。根据句意，空处应用短语take one’s time over sth.，表示“不慌不忙做某事”，句子描述现在的一般性情况，应用一般现在时，主语是I，动词应用原形形式，使用形容词性物主代词my表示“我的”。故填take my time over。
63． acquiring a broad knowledge of
【详解】考查动词短语和非谓语动词。表示“获得了广泛的……知识”短语为acquire a broad knowledge of，与逻辑主语she构成主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。故填acquiring a broad knowledge of。
64． take it for granted
【详解】考查固定短语。根据汉语意思提示可知，表示“理所当然”为固定短语take it for granted满足句意要求，结合句意为一般现在时，主语为复数形式。故分别填take；it；for；granted。
65． working their way through
