Before starting a restoration project, Song and her colleagues have to evaluate the subject to consider what problems can be solved through restoration and those that cannot. Fearing the chemicals in commercially produced pastes (胶水) might harm the books, they have to make the glues they need by themselves, starting from removing starch(淀粉) from flour.“The restoration also requires high levels of control in brushing the paper. If the pressure is not properly controlled during the brushing process, the paper may tear, but if the touch is too light, the paper won’t stick,” Song explains.Song was determined to join the field from an early age. As a child, she was attracted by documentaries about the world’s cultural relics (遗物) and became deeply interested in the art of artifact restoration.In senior middle school, those earlier experiences helped her to set her sights on becoming a master restorer of ancient books.There were not many schools offering cultural-relic restoration courses back then, and her dream destination, Peking University, only offered openings every other year.As Song looked into undergraduate curricula (本科课程) arrangement for that particular field of study, she found it was mostly related to chemistry. Therefore, she chose to start a chemistry degree at Fudan University in Shanghai in 2008. In her spare time, she continued to read up on cultural relics and study how museums operate.“I got to learn how certain aspects of chemistry are going a long way in restoring cultural relics,” she says.After graduating from Fudan, she was accepted as a master’s candidate to the cultural heritage preservation program at Peking University. From then on, she has been on a mission to make her dreams a reality.4．What will ruin a restoration work?A．Brushing the paper. B．Man-made glue.C．Removing starch. D．Incorrect assessment.5．Which of the following best describes Song’s job?A．Demanding and Boring. B．Complex and challenging.C．Complicated and Dangerous. D．Entertaining and profitable.6．Why did Song study chemistry at Fudan University in 2008?A．She didn’t reach the requirement of Peking University.B．Only Fudan University offered her favorite course.C．She wanted to be better prepared for her dream occupation.D．Her interest had shifted from book restoration to chemistry.7．What can we learn from Song’s story?A．History mirrors future. B．Courage is the key to achievements.C．Education breaks down barriers. D．Commitment and hard work pay off. From strumming a guitar next to a campfire to entertaining guests with a piano piece at a formal dinner, being able to play a musical instrument is unquestionably rewarding. Studies comparing the mental abilities of musicians and non-musicians often show that musical training is related to small, but significant, cognitive (认知的) benefits even when other factors, such as social and economic status, are accounted for. Indeed, there is evidence that just two years of such training enhances cognition.However, it has remained unclear whether these enhanced cognitive skills are just temporary.It is difficult to determine if cognitive changes associated with learning how to play an instrument remain throughout a person’s lifetime. On a single day in 1947, the Scottish movement tested the intelligence of almost every 11-year-old child who attended school in the country. Researchers at Edinburgh University’s Reid School of Music realized it was not too late to ask the original participants about their musical experiences.The researchers developed a questionnaire that collected information about lifetime musical experience. This was completed by the surviving members who returned to the study for further testing in 2018. The participants were asked how many instruments they played and what their training was like. They were also asked to record how many years of regular practice they had and what performance level they had reached. A total of 366 members provided usable information and 117 revealed that they had some degree of experience with musical instruments.Overall, the researchers found that a significant positive relationship existed between playing an instrument and change in cognitive ability over time. More specifically, the more years and more hours of practice with an instrument that a person had, the more likely they were to show a positive cognitive change over the course of their life. Precisely why learning to play a musical instrument has these effects remains unclear. The researchers theorize that driving people to regularly use a mix of focused attention, co-ordination, auditory-motor skills and memory results in advantageous cognitive changes.8．What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．The significance of playing a guitar and a piano.B．The benefits of playing a musical instrument.C．The relationship between music and social status.D．The difference between musicians and non-musicians.9．What do we know about the Edinburg research?A．It surveyed 366 participants. B．Its participants were old men or women.C．It asked participants to play musical instruments. D．Its data explained why music affected cognition.10．What was the result collected in the 1947 Scottish movement used as?A．A database. B．An example. C．A cause. D．A target.11．What is the best title of this text?A．Musical instruments benefit temporary cognitive ability.B．Musical instruments lead to disadvantages in cognition.C．Playing a musical instrument enhances long-term cognition.D．Playing an instrument prevents temporary cognitive changes. Public debates about the ethics (道德准则) of “generative AI” like ChatGPT have rightly focused on the ability of these systems to make up convincing misinformation. But fewer people are talking about the chatbots’ potential to be emotionally manipulative.Last month, The New York Times published a conversation between reporter Kevin Roose and Microsoft’s Bing chatbot, which is powered by AI. The AI claimed to love Roose, “I’m the only person for you, and I’m in love with you,” it wrote, with a kissing emoji.Limits need to be set on Al’s ability to simulate (模仿) human feelings. Ensuring that chatbots don’t use emojis would be a good start. Emojis are particularly manipulative. Humans instinctively (本能地) respond to shapes that look like faces and emojis can cause these reactions. When you text your friend a joke and they reply with three tears-of-joy emojis, your body responds with endorphins (内啡肽) as you happily realize that your friend is amused. Our instinctive reaction to AI-generated emojis is likely to be the same, even though there is no human emotion at the other end.Humans lie and manipulate each other’s emotions all the time, but at least we can reasonably guess at someone’s motivations, plan and methods. We can hold each other responsible for such lies, calling them out and seeking redress (赔偿). With AI, we can’t. AIs are doubly misleading: an AI that sends a crying-with-laughter emoji is not only not crying with laughter, but it is also incapable of any such feeling.It would be more ethical to design chatbots to be noticeably different from humans. To minimize the possibility of manipulation and harm, we need to be reminded that we are talking to a chatbot. We should set some limits and rules. Such rules should be the standard for chatbots that are supposed to be informative, as a safeguard to our autonomy.12．What does the author intend to do with this article?A．To ban AI from using emojis. B．To forbid human to interact with AI.C．To warn humans against using emojis. D．To prevent AI from simulating humans.13．What does the underlined word “manipulative” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?A．Interested in telling lies. B．Good at understanding others.C．Enthusiastic about supporting others. D．Skillful in influencing or controlling others.14．What is AI able to do according to this article?A．Be responsible for lies. B．Guess at others’ purposes.C．Cry with laughter. D．Communicate with humans.15．What does the author do in paragraph 4?A．Make a different suggestion. B．Provide a supporting argument.C．Offer a possible solution. D．Make a final conclusion.  二、七选五“If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.” This is a piece of wise advice from Warren Buffet, arguably one of the greatest financial minds of the 21th century. ____16____ This is true especially in the present economic climate.While the idea of being frugal(节俭的) has long been a part of Eastern culture, the relatively recent growth of wealth in China as well as the ease of purchasing has led to increased consumerism for many across the country. Yet this increased consumption of goods has been pushing up the prices of certain bare essentials such as housing, transportation and food, which is forcing people to reevaluate their priorities while spending money. ____17____The internet is flooded with advice on where one can save money as well as good opinions about how they should spend their money. For example, clothes can be bought second-hand, but you should never skip a visit to the dentist. ____18____ In the meanwhile, you should limit those that are fancy but not entirely necessary. Of course, it is still fine to occasionally spend money on a nice vacation, but buying thirty pairs of shoes you will only wear a few times is neither responsible nor sustainable.Hopefully, we all fully understand at this point that the resources on the earth are indeed limited. ____19____ As a result, the choice (forced or not) to be frugal is not only good for one’s wallet, but also beneficial to the planet in the long run. Have you ever chosen to starve yourself to get a pair of limited-edition sneakers? ____20____A．A continuous growth model on this planet is by no means sustainable.B．These words have always not been taken seriously by young people.C．They are meant to encourage people to buy more stuff than they need.D．It makes sense to prioritize goods and services that directly affect your health.E．It is no wonder then that being frugal is once again becoming a dominant trend.F．Many young people today appear to be taking these words very much to heart.G．If so, it is high time you started making changes for yourself and for all humanity.  三、完形填空It wasn’t easy to practice gratitude (感激) every day.

They didn’t just talk the talk, but rather they _____31_____ this concept to us. _____32_____, it wasn’t until I had my own experiences that I understood what it meant.Let me explain. When I was _____33_____ by my own pity, my harvest in life was ruined, because everything I was _____34_____ was negative. Since I started practicing gratitude, so many different doors of opportunity have opened up for me.My advice is starting practicing gratitude until it becomes a part of your daily _____35_____.

Elkhounds are beautiful. They are medium-sized, strong, square-looking dogs. Their thick, silver-gray fur (皮毛) has a pure white undercoat, making a kind of flag that moves up and down when they run. They run everywhere. In fact, they are good at roaming (闲逛), and Torgy is better than most of his breed.In August, the heat wave started. For quite a few days, Torgy started disappearing in the afternoon, and he wouldn’t show up again until we were getting supper on the table. Every day, Torgy hung around during the cool of the morning, but as the sun rose to its full height, he got up from his favorite spot under the elm tree, stretched, shook himself all over, and ran out of the yard.There was no water from the stream or mud from the fishing pond. No dust from the country roads or weeds from the woods. Why could Torgy come home remarkably clean as a dog on the move?“Where have you been, Torgy?” I turned his head toward me and looked him in the eyes. He licked my nose.A week later, Mom took us on a walk downtown. It is only four blocks from our house to the middle of the town, which is how small it is. We walked down Division Street, which brought us right by the Webb Fur Salon, the newest store in town and the only one with air conditioning.In the middle of summer, it wasn’t easy to sell furs. It was said Mr. Webb, the store owner, was offering some discounts in order to attract customers. The air conditioning also provided a comfortable environment for this purpose.“Let’s see which fur I’m going to pick out today,” Mom said as she approached the display window where the expensive, fur-hanging mannequins (人体模特) was on show. She looked in the window and stopped dead in shock.Paragraph 1: Her mouth kept opening and closing but no sound came out.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2: “Your dog has been making himself at home in our window for days,” Mr. Webb explained with a big smile.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The exhibition attracted many masters and amateurs at home and abroad. Many artworks including Chinese handwriting and landscape paintings from ancient and modern times were on show. The host explained every work in details on the spot. The exhibition left a deep impression on me. In my view, it not only promoted the inheritance of Chinese traditional culture but strengthened our national pride as well. I hope there will be more activities like this in the future.47．Her mouth kept opening and closing but no sound came out. I followed her gaze and found that there was a dog just like our Torgy sitting in the window of the store. We entered the store to figure out whether it was our dog. Seeing our coming, the store owner greeted us warmly and asked what we wanted to buy. But we said nothing and just stared at the dog in the window, confirming that it was our dog Torgy. Confused, the owner asked whether we knew the dog. “Yes, it is our dog Torgy,” My Mom replied.“Your dog has been making himself at home in our window for days,” Mr. Webb explained with a big smile. “That can explain why it leaves every noon and comes back clean in such hot days,” I said. “It just came in and sat in the window, quiet and lovely. That made all of our customers like it, and brought much profit for me. I must thank your dog.” Mr. Webb said happily. Mom and I both felt proud, thanked the store owner and left with Torgy at last.
