Often， his hsts share a little bit abut their lives with him.
The Out f Eden Walk is well-named. Besides a few rides n bats r ships， Salpek is walking the entire way. N cars. He desn’t even ride bikes， thugh he des use pack animals. An imprtant part f Salpek’s missin is t tell the stries f rdinary peple. Walking gives him mre time t lk arund and t talk t the peple he encunters.

Cmedian Sarah Silverman recently jined frces with bestselling writers Christpher Glden and Richard Kadrey against tw unlikely ppnents: ChatGPT’s creatr OpenAI and Meta Platfrms. The writers filed a infringement （侵犯） case in early July in which they claim their cpyrighted bks were used withut their permissin as part f training dataset fr ChatGPT and similar AI mdels.
Here’s a critical pint t remember: AIs like ChatGPT dn’t parrt bks wrd fr wrd. They generate new cntent based n patterns learned frm the training data. The specific wrds and sentences frmed aren’t direct cpies frm ed bks， blurring the lines f traditinal infringement. I have a visin there’s a slim chance this case will hld up， but the final call is in the hands f the curts.
The crnerstne f human-learning is imitatin （模仿）. The nature f intelligence — whether bilgical r artificial rests n the ability t recgnize patterns and apply them in innvative ways. AI， such as ChatGPT， perates similarly. It learns frm its envirnment — in this case， the extensive databasets f text — and imitates patterns it finds. That’s hw it can cmpse a strikingly human-like string f text despite having n cnsciusness r creativity.
The current case challenges this understanding， claiming that AI’s methd f learning breaks law.
Sme publishers prvide a cmpensatin （补偿） strategy. But there are ptential issues with this apprach. First， its being in effect might pse enrmus， even unvercme challenges. The large scale f data that AI mdels like ChatGPT take in fr training thusands f bks， millins f articles， and mre makes it impractical t track dwn every single hlder and negtiate terms fr use. This culd result in high expenses fr AI develpers， ptentially preventing innvatin and destrying public mdels.
But here’s an interesting paradx （悖论） t cnsider: The victry f writers against frmal AI service prviders may nt end the issue. Far frm it. The utcme f this unflding drama culd be mre than a simple curtrm win r lss; it culd fundamentally redefine the bundaries f artificial intelligence and law.
8． What may be the result f the case in the authr’s view？
A.AI may get away with it.
B.Writers may gain huge benefit.
C.AI’s wrks may be banned.
D.Met a platfrms may be clsed.
9． What is Paragraph 3 mainly abut？
A.The reliance f AI n humans.
B.The applicatin f AI’s imitatin.
C.The rle f AI in human learning.
D.The cmmn feature f AI and human brain.
10． What will the cmpensatin strategy bring abut？
A.The ceasing f AI develpment.
B.Lack f sustainable quality data.
C.The prtests frm the publishers.
D.Financial burdens fr AI develpers.
11． What des the authr intend t d in the last paragraph？
A.T clarify his r her stand.
B.T present an example.
C.T make sme cmparisn.
D.T add backgrund infrmatin.
Researchers have discvered that limiting a certain enzyme（酶） can have a dramatic impact in prtecting against the effects f Alzheimer’s disease（阿尔兹海默症）. The finding culd lead t a new class f drugs that fight the disease.
Much f the histrical research int Alzheimer’s disease（AD） has fcused n plaques（斑块） that frm in the brain， which recently， thugh， have been fund nt likely t be the direct cause f it. In seeking anther way frward， a grup f British researchers turned t an Australian study which shwed having the gene fr the prductin f an enzyme knwn as PDE4B was identified as a risk factr fr develping Alzheimer’s.
With the intentin f investigating hw PDE4B might affect the brain， the UK team genetically mdified（改造） mice with Alzheimer’s t reduce PDE4B activity. The results are astnishing.
First, the mice with Alzheimer’s and nrmal PDE4B expressin shwed memry lss in the sense f directin, a distinctive characteristic f AD. But thse wh had the genetic mdificatin t have less PDE4B activity shwed n damage at all. The team als bserved that inflammatin（炎症）, anther hallmark f AD, decreased t sme extent in the brains f mice with less PDE4B activity, cmpared t thse with mre f the enzyme.
Because all f these effects were fund in the mice that already had Alzheimer’s but had significant imprvement in symptms， the researchers say that further investigatin int hw t limit PDE4B in human patients with the cnditin culd lead t new treatment pathways.
"These results ffer real hpe fr the develpment f new treatments that will benefit patients with Alzheimer’s disease in the future，" said Neil Dawsn， a c- authr f the study. "The next stage is t test whetherPDE4B- limiting drugs have similar beneficial effects in the AD muse mdel， t test their ptential effectiveness in human Alzheimer’s disease."
12．Hw did the British researchers get the inspiratin？
A.By figuring ut the direct cause f AD.
B.By ging ver much histrical research.
C.By referring t a previus Australian study.
D.By breaking dwn PDE4B in the AD muse.
13．What can be learnt abut PDE4B？
A.Its activity prmtes the sense f directin.
B.It might bring abut the develpment f AD.
C.It is prcessed by a certain enzyme in the brain.
D.It will be investigated t reduce mice brain activity.
14．What des the underlined wrd "hallmark" in Paragraph 4 mean？
A.Cause.
B.Feature.
C.Principle.
D.Finding.
15．What d the last tw paragraphs mainly talk abut？
A.The future research fcus.
B.The existing research backgrund.
C.The prbable research limitatin.
D.The practical research applicatin.
二、七选五
16．Hw t Read Candidates’ Bdy Language in an Interview Bdy language matters, especially in interviews. ① Our psture, gestures, mvements r facial expressins can shape ur reputatins. Learning t read bdy language is abut understanding candidates’ mtives. Reading bdy language during interviews can prvide valuable insights int a candidate’s persnality. ② Here are sme cmmn interview bdy language signals that yu can learn t read.
Observe extreme behaviur. A candidate’s harmless actin desn’t mean they wn’t fitin well at yur cmpany. But be careful abut extreme behaviurs， like a persn cnstantly checking their phne.
③ Yu can read peple’s bdy language by bserving changes in their mvements r psture. Imagine, fr example, that a candidate suddenly starts tapping their ft. Maybe they feel the interview is taking t lng. Or perhaps they’re facing an uncmfrtable questin. Cnnect the dts. ④ Fr example, peple may crss their arms when they’re cld. But, when yu see a candidate crssing their arms, crssing their legs and balling their fists at the same time, prepare yurself fr an aggressive(咄咄逼人的) answer. Candidate experience greatly depends n an interviewer’s bdy language. Psitive bdy language can make candidates relax and pen up. Negative bdy language can spark(引发) defensive and reserved reactins. ⑤
A.Spt the difference.
B.Ask detailed questins.
C.It’s nt what yu say， it’s hw yu say it.
D.They dn’t necessarily act the same way all the time.
E.Hwever， understanding bdy language isn’t an exact science.
F.Yu can’t always tell what a specific gesture means n its wn.
G.Be aware f mistakes t preserve a psitive candidate experience.

8．答案： A
解析： 根据文章第二段"I have a visin there’s a slim chance this case will hld up， but the final call is in the hands f the curts."可知，作者认为这个案子胜诉的可能性不大，也就是说作者觉得人工智能（AI）有可能逃脱侵权责任，所以答案选A。
9．答案： D
解析： 第三段先是指出人类学习的基础是模仿，接着阐述无论是生物的还是人工的智能，其本质都在于识别模式并以创新方式应用这些模式，然后说明像ChatGPT这样的人工智能也是从环境中学习并模仿所发现的模式，整体是在讲人工智能和人类大脑在学习、运用模式这方面的共同特征，所以答案选D。
10．答案： D
解析： 从文章第五段"The large scale f data that AI mdels like ChatGPT take in fr training thusands f bks， millins f articles， and mre makes it impractical t track dwn every single hlder and negtiate terms fr use. This culd result in high expenses fr AI develpers..."可知，补偿策略会使得人工智能开发者要去追踪众多版权持有者并协商使用条款，这会带来高昂的费用，即给他们带来经济负担，所以答案选D。

13．答案： B
解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的"a grup f British researchers turned t an Australian study which shwed having the gene fr the prductin f an enzyme knwn as PDE4B was identified as a risk factr fr develping Alzheimer’s （一组英国研究人员参考了一项澳大利亚研究，该研究表明，拥有生产一种名为PDE4B的酶的基因被确定为患阿尔兹海默症的风险因素。）"可知，PDE4B可能会导致阿尔兹海默症的发展。故选B。
14．答案： B
解析： 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段中的"a distinctive characteristic f AD.（阿尔兹海默症一个显著特征）""The team als bserved that inflammatin（炎症）， anther hallmark f AD （研究团队还观察到，炎症——阿尔兹海默症的另一个标志）"可知，hallmark意为"特征"。故选B。
15．答案： A
解析： 主旨大意题。根据第四段"the researchers say that further investigatin int hw t limit PDE4B in human patients with the cnditin culd lead t new treatment pathways. （研究人员表示，进一步研究如何在患有这种疾病的人类患者中限制PDE4B的活性可能会开辟新的治疗途径。）"可知，文章最后两段内容主要讲述了未来的研究重点。故选A。
16．答案： C; E; A; F; G
解析： ①考查上下文逻辑推理。下文谈到"Our psture， gestures， mvements r facial expressins"指的是C项的hw yu say it"你说话的方式"。It指的是上文提到的Bdy language。
②考查上下文逻辑推理。上文谈到在面试中读懂肢体语言可以对候选人的个性提供有价值的见解。也就是说在面试中读懂肢体语言的益处，然后接下来谈到"以下是一些你可以学会读懂的常见的面试肢体语言信号。"故可知E项符合题意"然而，理解肢体语言并不是一门精确的科学"，它是可以学会读懂的。
③考查段首句。根据下文"Yu can read peple’s bdy language by bserving changes in their mvements r psture."可知，本段建议你可以通过观察人们动作或姿势的变化来解读他们的肢体语言。也就是说A项的Spt the difference"发现不同点"。
④考查上下文逻辑推理。下文谈到一个例子"crss their arms"，说到人们在冷的时候可能会交叉双臂。但是，当你看到候选人交叉双臂、交叉双腿、同时挥舞拳头时，要做好准备，接受咄咄逼人的回答。可知，一个具体的动作"a specific gesture"可能表达不同的意思，故选F项。
⑤考查段尾句。本段第一句谈到求职者的经验在很大程度上取决于面试官的肢体语言。积极的肢体语言可以让候选人放松和开放。消极的肢体语言会引发防御和保留的反应。故G项作为总结句符合题意"要意识到错误，以保持积极的候选人体验"。
17．答案： C
解析： "picked ut"意为"挑选出";"settled dwn"意为"定居，安定下来";"held back"有"阻碍，抑制"的意思;"brught up"表示"养育，提出"。此处说我想要体验潜水，但被对深水的恐惧"阻碍"了，所以选C，符合语境。
18．答案： A
解析： "vercme"意为"克服";"hide"意为"隐藏";"ignre"意为"忽视";"share"意为"分享"。前文提到被恐惧阻碍，后面又说报名了潜水课程，可见是决定去"克服"恐惧，所以选A。
19．答案： C
解析： "failed"意为"失败";"avided"意为"避免";"cleared"有"通过，完成"的意思;"assessed"意为"评估"。根据"surprisingly"以及后面的"all the thery exams"可知是出人意料地通过了所有理论考试，所以选C。
20．答案： B
解析： "gift"意为"礼物";"challenge"意为"挑战";"prmise"意为"承诺";"surprise"意为"惊喜"。通过了理论考试后，接下来面临的应该是最大的"挑战"，因为后面提到在水下的情况不太好，所以选B。
21．答案： A
解析： "terrified"意为"恐惧的，害怕的";"rude"意为"粗鲁的";"ashamed"意为"羞愧的";"angry"意为"生气的"。从后文让教练带自己多潜水来建立信心以及前文提到的对深水的恐惧可知，在水下是明显很"害怕"的，所以选A。
22．答案： B
解析： "shw"意为"展示";"build"意为"建立";"shake"意为"摇动，动摇";"cver"意为"覆盖，报道"。教练让我和他多做几次潜水是为了"建立"我的信心，符合语境，所以选B。
23．答案： A
解析： "mismatch"意为"不匹配，不协调";"slutin"意为"解决办法";"cnnectin"意为"联系";"wnder"意为"奇迹，惊奇"。这里说我能看到我原本以为自己要做的和课程"实际"要求做的之间有很大的"不匹配"情况，所以选A。
24．答案： D
解析： "secretly"意为"秘密地";"accidentally"意为"偶然地";"directly"意为"直接地";"actually"意为"实际上"。结合语境，是对比自己想的和课程"实际上"的要求，所以选D。
25．答案： D

32．答案： envirnmentally; ging; ffers; t; prducts; that/which; either; natural; chice; a
解析： ①"envirnmentally"是副词，修饰形容词"friendly"，表示"环保地，对环境友好地"，符合语境，所以填"envirnmentally"。
②"cnsider ding sth."是固定搭配，意为"考虑做某事"，此处应用动名词形式"ging"。
③主语"green furniture"是第三人称单数，且句子描述的是一般情况，时态用一般现在时，所以谓语动词用"ffers"。
④"cause damage t..."是固定短语，意为"对……造成损害"，故填"t"。
⑤根据语境，这里指使用各种环保"产品"，应用复数形式"prducts"。
⑥此处考查定语从句，先行词是"The materials"，在从句中作主语，指物，所以关系代词用"that/which"。
⑦""是固定搭配，意为"要么……要么……，或者……或者……"，符合此处语境，所以填"either"。
⑧"be"动词后用形容词作表语，"nature"的形容词形式是"natural"，表示"天然的，自然的"，所以填"natural"。
⑨"a better"后接名词，"chse"的名词形式是"chice"，意为"选择"，所以填"chice"。
⑩"prduct"是可数名词，此处表示"一种绿色产品"，用不定冠词"a"修饰。
