【答案】18. C 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】More and more people today are going back to school as older adults. Why are people doing this? The main reason is that they aren’t satisfied with their present careers. Maybe they are tired of their busy, stressful life in business and want to be a teacher — a job that helps others. Maybe they want to make more money. Or maybe they want to try something new. To make these changes in careers, they have to return to school to study a different major or get more education in the field they’re already in. But what are the difficulties of this decision? Well, firstly, it costs a lot of money to pay for school per year. They need work to pay for everyday costs of housing, food, clothing, and entertainments, so many people don’t have enough time. Most people cannot quit their jobs and give school their full attention, so they must take classes at night and find time to study when they can. Finally, going back to school after not being a student for so long might be more work than most people think. But to most of these students, it’s all worth it!

If you’re a real fitness addict, you certainly know the ultimate running challenge is to take part in a marathon. It seems every major city and town around the world hosts an annual marathon, with thousands of athletes running an exhausting 42.1 kilometres. While many runners’ motivation is to beat their personal best and cross the finishing line without collapsing, they’re also doing it for a good cause — to generate funds for charity.
But like other major events, the marathon also generates a massive carbon footprint. Thousands travel – some by plane — to the location, and waste from food packaging and goody bags gets left behind by viewers and runners.
This is becoming a big issue for cities — how to host a worthwhile event, encouraging people to exercise and help charities, while protecting the environment? Several cities have developed formal plans to reduce their environmental impact and promote sustainable ideas. One event in Wales, for example, introduced recycling for old running kit. It’s something that this year’s London Marathon tried to tackle by reducing the number of drink stations on the running route, giving out water in paper cups and offering some drinks in eatable seaweed capsules. They also trialled new bottle belts made from recycled plastic, so 700 runners could carry water bottles with them during their run.
Meanwhile, some people still think running a marathon could be our best foot forward in helping the planet. Dr Andrea Collins from Cardiff University told the BBC: “Training for a marathon makes you more sustainable in day-to-day activities. I started walking or running to work every day. Being environmentally friendly while training kind of sticks with you and becomes a way of life.”
So while you may not be the top runner in a marathon, let’s hope the event, in terms of sustainability, certainly is!
24. What can we know about a marathon from paragraph 1?
A. Everyone desires to join in it. B. Athletes can finish it with ease.
C. Local governments disapprove of it. D. It can contribute to charitable causes.
25. What does this year’s London Marathon mainly feature?
A. Holding a sustainable event. B. Raising funds for charities.
C. Encouraging people to exercise. D. Recycling old running facilities.
26. What is Dr Andrea’s attitude to running a marathon?
A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Conservative.
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Make Marathons Greener B. How to Run Marathons Properly
C. Participate in Marathons Actively D. What Is Left Behind after Marathons
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. A 27. A
【解析】

Many animals depend upon sound to find food or communicate with one another. These species understandably suffer when loud motorways cut through their habitats. Scientists have long documented the ecological damage caused by noise pollution. It has always been assumed, however, that noise is a problem unique to animals. But a new study by Ali Akbar Ghotbi-Ravandi, a botanist in Tehran, has revealed that plants fell victim to it too.
Working with a team of colleagues, Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi grew two species in his lab that are commonly found in urban environments. The plants were grown from seed and allowed to mature for two months in the same space before they were divided into two groups. One group was exposed to 73 decibels of traffic noise recorded from a busy motorway in Tehran for 16 hours a day. The other group was left to grow in silence. After 15 days had passed, samples were taken from the youngest fully expanded leaves on every plant in the experiment and studied.
Analysis of their leaves revealed that the chemicals which are indicators of stress in plants were found at much higher levels in the species exposed to the traffic noise. The team also found that certain chemicals normally associated with healthy growth in plants were present at significantly reduced levels in the plants exposed to the noise. Even the weight of the freshly-cut leaves differed — leaves from plants exposed to noise consistently weighed less than those from plants grown in silence.
Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi’s findings make it clear that, though plants lack ears, the vibrations (震动) generated by the noise of traffic still bothers them enough to cause strong stress responses that are not much different to those that would be found in plants exposed to extreme conditions.
The next question is whether all noise pollution affects all species in the same way. The natural world is by no means silent. Whether some plant species have evolved to adapt to the noisy environment, which might one day be collected and transplanted in urban areas, is a mystery worth exploring.
28. What does the author stress in paragraph 1?
A. The influence of noise on plants. B. Effects motorways have on animals.
C. The importance of sound for animals. D. Problems plants have surviving in nature.
29. How did Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi conduct the experiment?
A. By choosing two rare plant species. B. By collecting samples from old leaves.
C. By making plants grow along motorways. D. By studying plants grown in different conditions.
30. What can we know from Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi’s experiment?
A. Plants exposed to noise were less stressful.
B. Changes of chemicals in leaves were unclear.
C. Leaves of plants grown in silence weighed more.
D. Plants grew more slowly when grown in silence.
31. What might researchers do in the future?
A. To improve the adapting ability of plants. B. To develop new species with high survival rate.
C. To set more restrictions on urban traffic noise. D. To find plants suitable for noisy urban areas.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了噪音也会对植物产生影响，解释了研究开展的经过以及发现。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Many animals depend upon sound to find food or communicate with one another. These species understandably suffer when loud motorways cut through their habitats. Scientists have long documented the ecological damage caused by noise pollution. It has always been assumed, however, that noise is a problem unique to animals. But a new study by Ali Akbar Ghotbi-Ravandi, a botanist in Tehran, has revealed that plants fell victim to it too. (许多动物依靠声音来寻找食物或相互交流。当嘈杂的高速公路穿过它们的栖息地时，这些物种遭受痛苦是可以理解的。科学家们早就记录了噪音污染造成的生态破坏。然而，人们一直认为噪音是动物特有的问题。但德黑兰植物学家Ali Akbar Ghotbi-Ravandi的一项新研究表明，植物也成为了它的受害者)”可知，作者在第一段强调了噪音对植物的影响。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“One group was exposed to 73 decibels of traffic noise recorded from a busy motorway in Tehran for 16 hours a day. The other group was left to grow in silence. After 15 days had passed, samples were taken from the youngest fully expanded leaves on every plant in the experiment and studied. (其中一组每天16小时暴露在来自德黑兰一条繁忙高速公路的73分贝的交通噪音中。另一组则在沉默中成长。15天后，从实验中每棵植物最年轻的完全展开的叶子上采集样本进行研究)”可知，Ghotbi-Ravandi博士通过研究在不同条件下生长的植物进行实验。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Even the weight of the freshly-cut leaves differed — leaves from plants exposed to noise consistently weighed less than those from plants grown in silence. (即使是刚割下的叶子的重量也有所不同——在噪音环境中生长的植物的叶子总是比在安静环境中生长的植物的叶子轻)”可知，寂静中生长的植物的叶子更重。故选C。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Whether some plant species have evolved to adapt to the noisy environment, which might one day be collected and transplanted in urban areas, is a mystery worth exploring. (是否一些植物物种已经进化到适应嘈杂的环境，有一天可能会被收集并移植到城市地区，这是一个值得探索的谜)”可知，未来研究人员可能会寻找适合嘈杂城市地区的植物。故选D。

OpenAI has announced a major upgrade to the technology that reinforces ChatGPT. If you think of ChatGPT as a car, the new language model known as GPT-4 adds a more powerful engine. It opens up a new era of super-efficiency, where professionals will have to work smarter and faster – or be knocked out.
There is no better example of this than Morgan Stanley, which has been using GPT-4 since last year. The bank trained GPT-4 on thousands of papers published by its analysts to create a chatbot for its own wealth advisers. About 200 staff at the bank have been using it daily. One analytics chief said the effort would also further enrich the relationship between Morgan Stanley advisors and their clients by enabling them to assist more people more quickly. How much more quickly? What used to be done in half an hour can now be done in seconds.
Powerful AI systems like GPT-4 aren’t going to replace large numbers of professional workers. But they will put them under greater pressure to be more productive and faster at what they do. That is what partly happened to professional translators and interpreters. As artificial intelligence tools like Google Translate and DeepL grew in popularity among business customers, many translators feared they would be replaced. Instead, they were expected to increase their output.
AI will also raise the bar on the human’s performance. With the extra help, people have no excuses to leave anything out. Much of this is typical of the march of technology. Smart phones allowed us to be connected to work at all times. Slack allowed us to communicate with more people inside a company. But such tools also kept us further chained to work, squeezing (压榨) out minutes in the day that workers might have used in the past for deep-thinking or just taking a breather.
GPT-4 clearly has the potential to squeeze more value out of human workers, but it may well come at the cost of our mental energy. However brilliant these models become, watch out for how they might take you a tiny step closer to burnout.
32. What do the underlined words “a major upgrade” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. ChatGPT. B. GPT-4. C. A new engine. D. OpenAI.
33. What is a consequence of GPT-4’s introduction in Morgan Stanley?
A. More staff have been laid off.
B. Advisers can have more free time.
C. The staff are pushed to work harder.
D. More papers will be published by analysts.
34. Why does the author mention smart phones and Slack in paragraph 4?
A. To stress the rapid development of technology.
B. To explain why AI is universally used.
C. To promote several online working platforms.
D. To show side effects of technological advances.
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. ChatGPT has a bright future in various fields.
B. Powerful AI systems are going to replace workers.
C. A new technology has been launched to improve productivity.
D. GPT-4 could turn the workplace into a productive but crazy place.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述GPT-4让工作变得高效，而员工却不得不疯狂地工作，以至于牺牲他们的休息和思考时间，否则他们就会面临淘汰的风险。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段的“If you think of ChatGPT as a car, the new language model known as GPT-4 adds a more powerful engine. It opens up a new era of super-efficiency, where professionals will have to work smarter and faster – or be knocked out.(如果你把ChatGPT想象成一辆汽车，那么被称为GPT-4的新语言模型增加了一个更强大的引擎。它开启了一个超高效的新时代，专业人士必须更聪明、更快地工作，否则就会被淘汰)”可知，上文提到的“a major upgrade(重大升级)”指的就是GPT-4。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阿司匹林这种药。
【36题详解】
根据下文“Aspirin (阿司匹林) is a drug that has become more and more popular because it can help people with many illnesses. (阿司匹林是一种越来越受欢迎的药物，因为它可以帮助患有许多疾病的人)”可知，下文提到了阿司匹林这种药。再结合上文“What do you do when you get a headache, toothache, or fever? (当你头痛、牙痛或发烧时，你会怎么做？)”推知，在这些情况下如果你就医的话，医生可能会给你开含有阿司匹林的药。F项“Well, if you go to the doctor, you are likely to be given medicine with some aspirin in it.(嗯，如果你去看医生，医生可能会给你服用含有阿司匹林的药物)”符合语境，承上启下。故选F。
37题详解】
根据下文“It is also used to stop fever and cold, and flu medicines also have aspirin in them. (它也被用来阻止发烧和感冒，流感药物中也含有阿司匹林)”可知，治疗流感的药物中也含有阿司匹林。结合上文“Aspirin is effective to stop pain.(阿司匹林对止痛很有效)”推知，空处陈述某些止疼药里含有阿司匹林。D项“Therefore, most headache medicines have aspirin in them.(因此，大多数头痛药都含有阿司匹林)”符合题意。故选D。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Is aspirin dangerous? Does aspirin have side effects?(阿司匹林有危险吗？阿司匹林有副作用吗？)”推知，空处应是对这两个问题的回答。结合下文“Several hundred people die each year from taking too much aspirin. (每年有几百人因服用过量阿司匹林而死亡)”推知，空处的回答应指出阿司匹林可能是有害的。E项“Aspirin is a drug and like any other drug, it can be quite dangerous.(阿司匹林是一种药物，和其他任何药物一样，它可能非常危险)”符合题意。故选E。
【39题详解】
空处位于段末应承接上文。根据上文“High-dose aspirin may cause stomach bleeding and tinnitus (耳鸣). Some people are advised not to take low-dose aspirin, because it reduces uric acid excretion (尿酸排泄).(大剂量阿司匹林可能导致胃出血和耳鸣。有些人被建议不要服用低剂量的阿司匹林，因为它可以减少尿酸排泄)”可知，服用大剂量和低剂量的阿司匹林都可能有害。由此推知，空处应继续陈述阿司匹林不能使用的情况。G项“Aspirin has also been removed from children’s medicines for fear of death from taking it.(由于担心服用阿司匹林会导致死亡，阿司匹林也已从儿童药物中删除)”符合语境。故选G。
【40题详解】
空处位于文末，应是总结性语言。根据上文“But overall, aspirin is usually not dangerous for adults if it is taken in small amounts. Many people get help for various illnesses by taking a tablet that contains aspirin.(但总的来说，如果少量服用阿司匹林，通常对成年人没有危险。许多人通过服用含有阿司匹林的药片来治疗各种疾病)”可知，阿司匹林能治疗各种疾病。由此可知，这种药很神奇。A项“It is truly an amazing drug for people.(对人们来说，它真的是一种神奇的药物)”符合题意。故选A。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was 11:30 a.m., and the fishing so far had been a failure. Still, floating on the water 40 miles off the North Carolina coast was a great way to spend a lazy July day. It was really relaxing with calm seas, clear skies, and a breeze around them. There was not another boat in sight until now. Suddenly, Andrew Sherman, a 50-year-old father from Roanoke, Virginia, saw a spot in the distance. As the spot approached, it started to look like a boat. “Jack,” he yelled to his 21-year-old son, “someone’s headed straight at us!”
Strangely, the boat was about to crash into the side of their boat. Andrew sped their boat up as quickly as he could to avoid being crashed. The Shermans stared incredibly. Four fishing lines out, music playing – an average recreational fishing boat, except there wasn’t a person in sight. The boat owner must have gone below into the cabin, leaving his boat travelling along at 10 mph.
“We must follow it,” Andrew said.
As their boat got close to it, they shouted, “Hey! Hey!” But there was no response. A horrifying new thought flashed into their mind: The boat owner had gone below and suffered a heart attack, or fell into the water.
Andrew moved their boat alongside the other while Jack leaped onto the other boat. He managed to bring the boat to a stop and rushed down into the cabin. He came back up a moment later. “Empty,” he said.
Astonished, father and son said at the same time, “What happened?”
The two men could have left it at that, but they were curious. Locating the boat’s GPS system, they searched its history log (航海日志). The missing owner had marked points along his route indicating good fishing spots. Then the points suddenly stopped a few miles back.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Immediately, they headed for that last point.

To their relief, the boat owner came to life.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Immediately, they headed for that last point. From there, the two boats made ever-enlarging circles for the next hour. With Jack almost giving up hope, Andrew persevered in continuing the search, a journey no easier than looking for a needle in a haystack. He couldn't ignore the fact that the lost captain would probably be alive and was growing weary minute by minute in the endless sea. He kept going on, running north a bit, then south. And then he ran back up north again and then south again. Another hour later, his persistence paid off. Andrew eventually spotted a struggling figure in the distant water.
To their relief, the boat owner came to life. When Andrew finally reached the man he and his son had been seeking for about two hours, a relieved smile rippling round his lips," You have no idea how happy I am to see you, " he said. hauling him aboard. Only then did it dawn on the captain: "This is my boat!" The two men embraced each other as if they had known each other for ages and burst into hearty laughter together. Other than leg cramps, the captain was fine. He'd been saved from drowning and was grateful that the Shermans had taken the time to search for him. Other boaters had heard the call from the Coast Guard on their radios, he says, but only the Shermans stayed on the scene.
