一、阅读理解
Getting to know your money personality can help you rein in your spending habits and take back control of your personal finances. Here, finance saving money expert Pete Ridley at CarFinanceSaver reveals the UKs core money personalities, along with actions to adopt that reduce the negative consequences of each personality type.
The Spontaneous Spender
A spontaneous spender refers to a person that exhibits a “spend now, think later” attitude. They can find it tricky to differentiate between “need to haves” and “nice to haves”, and often feel “spender’s guilt”.
“Before you make a purchase, take time to decide whether the item is a ‘need to have’ or a ‘nice to have’. This will aid in avoiding splurges (挥霍) that provide short term satisfaction and post-spenders’ guilt.” says Ridley.
The Determined Saver
An underlying sense of worry and fear can be at the root of a persistent saver, and their determination to save disguises an overwhelming fear of money.
“Saving is great,” says Ridley, “but it’s important to regard money as a friend and not an enemy. Always be sure to make non-essential purchases. These items don’t have to be a major expense, but just enough that you acknowledge that money can be there to be enjoyed and not just put away.”
The Money=Status
This personality type can live beyond their means by making purchases that they don’t need, striving to keep up with others and saying yes to friendship plans that they cannot afford, to keep up the appearance of financial wellbeing.
“It’s here that you can adopt the 50/20/30 rule: 50 percent essential living expenses, 30 percent disposable income and 20 percent saving and paying debts,” suggests Ridley.
This will maintain financial wellbeing while helping to acknowledge that money doesn’t necessarily equal status or even impress those around you.
1．Which type of money personality is not mentioned in the text?
A．Cathy struggles to check her bank balance.
B．Eden tends to spend on impulse with little pre-planning.
C．Gill demonstrates a determined saver approach to her finances.
D．Joyce buys an unaffordable luxury to boast about her financial wellbeing.
2．What does Ridley suggest people do if they are always making purchases to impress others?
A．Manage your money wisely. B．Spend some money on non-essentials for joy.
C．Check your finances regularly. D．Take time to assess how much you love the items.
3．In which section of a magazine can the text be found?
A．Health. B．Business. C．Finance. D．Culture.
During my first year in college, I was silent. I was too afraid of saying something wrong.
I declared a religion major as a sophomore and took a class from Barbara, a young theologian. My mind was split open by a range of new thinkers and writers and by the quality of Barbara’s questions, I finally had something to say and the energy to say it. I was a frequent visitor during Barbara’s office hours, a rocket of words. She listened and calmly responded, a perfect contrast to my feverish ramblings. I loved what she saw in me, which was a range of abilities I had never seen in myself. In the following years, our relationship gradually deepened, but I was always conscious of a teacher-student dynamic.
This changed fundamentally when I became a parent. I had my son in March 2010, and Barbara was one of the first to congratulate me. When, nine months later, my child was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease, a rare and always terminal illness with no treatment and no cure, she sent me a letter-handwritten on a white legal pad. For the next two and a half years, Barbara wrote me regular, sometimes weekly, letters, remarkable letters that are revealing, loving, and kind.
The letter written right before my son died, when he was three, was the most personal and perhaps the most profound. “I think he’s made you better by opening up the great fire of your love,” she wrote, “with his small but magnificent existence.” I have never in my life read a more deeply comforting sentence, one that spoke to my grandest hopes, my deepest fears, and the only faith that remains to me, which is a belief in chaos. Our love had bloomed and deepened from a guarded mutual respect to a richer, deeper friendship.
Mentors are meant to lead those in their charge into fresh understanding, help them sort and filter new experiences, assist in the project of making sense out of the chaos that is human life. Mentors observe and accompany the darkest despair, the wildest sorrow, and the most unexpected joy.
4．What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A．The author took the class because she excelled1 in theology.
B．Their relationship changed significantly beyond a teacher-student mode.
C．The author was a frequent visitor to Barbara’s home after working hours.
D．Barbara’s peaceful exterior was a contrast to the author’s overexcited talk.
5．What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The way Barbara treated her students. B．The fact that the author kept silent in class.
C．The role of the author as a college student. D．The relationship between Barbara and the author.
6．What transformed the relationship between Barbara and the author from a mutual respect to a deeper friendship?
A．Barbara’s efforts to solve the problem.
B．Barbara’s sympathy shown in the letter.
C．The author’s in-depth understanding of Barbara.
D．Barbara’s congratulations on the birth of the author’s son.
7．What does the author think of Barbara?
A．Demanding and dedicated. B．Responsible and reasonable.
C．Insightful and inspiring. D．Aggressive and ambitious.
OpenAI has announced a major upgrade to support ChatGPT, the seemingly magical online tool that professionals have been using to draft emails, write blog posts and more. It opens a new era of hyper-efficiency, where professionals will have to work smarter and faster — or risk being left behind.
Powerful AI like ChatGPT isn’t going to replace professional workers, as many have instinctively feared. But they will put them under greater pressure to be more productive and faster at what they do. Prior to translation tools like Google Translate and DeepL, a professional would translate between 1,000 and 2,000 words per day. Now, professionals are expected to manage 7, 000 words, according to Nuria Llanderas, a professional interpreter with over 20 years of experience. Peers predict more AI systems will support simultaneous translation, potentially leading to more work for human translators in practice, checking that the machine’s output isn’t wrong.
The rise of technology also raises the bar on human performance. Llanderas adds that with the extra help, there are no excuses for leaving anything out. Much of this is typical of the march of technology, where smartphones and tools like Slack allow us to be connected and communicate more effectively. However, these tools have also chained us to work, leaving less time for contemplation, strategic thinking, or simply taking a break.
The powerful AI 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.
8．Which of the following is TRUE about AI-related tools?
A．They are able to complete tasks without making errors.
B．They’re likely to assist human workers in increasing outputs.
C．They contribute to fostering positive relationship between colleagues.
D．They can relieve human workers of pressure from demanding employers.
9．According to the last two paragraphs, employees with frequent access to AI tend to ________.
A．get higher salary B．suffer mental exhaustion
C．enjoy more leisure time D．cultivate strategic thinking
10．What is author’s attitude toward introducing AI to workplaces?
A．Supportive. B．Tolerant. C．Concerned. D．Indifferent.
11．What’s the passage mainly about?
A．AI like ChatGPT provides more freedom for human workers.
B．The improvement in efficiency is largely attributed to AI like ChatGPT.
C．The development of AI like ChatGPT poses negative impacts on humans.
D．The disadvantages of AI like ChatGPT outweigh its advantages in the workplace.
People trained to detect lies often rely on multiple signs, such as eye contact, length of responses and the details in what people say, but studies have shown that assessing a wide range of behavioural information can make it harder to decide if someone is lying. Bruno Verschuere at the University of Amsterdam and his colleagues wondered whether solely focusing on the detail of statements could provide more consistent results.
To test this idea, researchers asked 44 students to go for a walk or steal from a mock (模仿的) crime. Students were instructed to lie if they committed the fake theft.
Next, the researchers recruited 171 people to watch six truthful and six deceptive (欺骗的) interviews from these recordings, ranking interviewees’ eye contact and detail level. The results revealed that both truth-tellers and liars averted (转移) their gaze a similar amount, but truthful statements were substantially more detailed than deceptive ones, suggesting the latter is a more useful way to tell that someone is lying.
The researchers then asked 405 people to judge the true nature of six truthful and six deceptive statements randomly chosen from the interviews. Around half of the participants used multiple cues to identify liars. The remaining participants solely ranked the level of detail in answers on a scale of 1 to 10, with1 a 6 or above counting as truthful. Those using multiple cues distinguished lies from the truth 59% of the time, while those relying solely on detail achieved 66%.
“Our take is that using just one cue can provide a simpler way to judge lies from the truth,” says Verschuere. Nevertheless, in the real world, you would probably need to confirm the accuracy of statements through extra further investigations or follow-up questions, he says.
12．Bruno Verschuere and his colleagues conducted the research to confirm that ________.
A．behavioral information played a vital role in finding out the truth
B．people should be trained to detect lies by referring to multiple cues
C．truthtellers and liars shared something in common when performing the task
D．it’s relatively easier to identify liars by relying only on the detail of statements
13．What can we learn from paragraph 3 and 4?
A．Liars turned away their eyes more often than truth-tellers.
B．Truthful statements included considerably more details than deceptive ones.
C．It’s difficult for participants to detect liars by using multiple cues like eye contact.
D．Participants who relied on one cue can distinguish lies from the truth faultlessly.
14．What did Verschuere think of the real-life application of his research?
A．It had some limitations. B．It made no sense.
C．It could be perfectly applied. D．It had no potential market.
15．What’s the purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce readers to the classification of lies.
B．To encourage readers to apply the results in real life.
C．To warn readers of psychological harm of telling a lie.
D．To inform readers of scientific findings on detecting liars.
二、七选五
It’s commonly thought that people get into bad financial situations because of poor decision-making skills. 16 In fact, several studies over the last decade have demonstrated that the cause and effect may be more complex than is widely believed.
17 Scientists first asked the study participants a series of questions that made them think about their personal income and savings. They were then asked to solve a number of puzzles. Those in better financial situations performed better at solving the puzzles than those in financial trouble. However, when the test was repeated without making the participants think about their own finances, the differences in performance between the rich and poor disappeared. 18
In a separate study conducted in 2018 at the University of Texas, the brains of more than 300 people aged between 20 and 89 were scanned and analyzed for signs of good cognitive function. Among those aged between 35 and 64, it was found that those with better financial situations had healthier brains, including characteristics linked to having a better memory and a lower risk of dementia when elderly. However, in younger adults (those aged 20 to 34), there did not seem to be any connection between wealth and brain health. 19
It’s not difficult to guess why poverty might have these effects. People who live in poorer conditions often have difficulty affording healthy food. 20 And always worrying about having enough money to pay rent or put food on the table puts constant demands on the brain, leaving less processing power available for critical thinking. Indeed, it could be said that poverty is a vicious cycle, keeping people trapped by taking away their best means of escape-their ability to make smart decisions.
A．But is poverty really caused by poor thinking?
B．Unwise decisions people make, to a greater degree, contribute to tight budgets.
C．They are more affected by negative environmental elements such as pollution.
D．Taken together, these results indicate that long-term poverty only gradually causes wear and tear on the brain.
E．Therefore, the scientists concluded that poor thinking plays a major part in one’s future financial condition.
F．This suggested that the distraction of worrying about their bad finances made the poor people perform worse than those with no financial worries.
G．One study in the journal Science in 2013 showed that people’s abilities to solve problems can be significantly affected by their current financial situation.

Up in Lights
For some, putting up Christmas lights is a holiday chore. But for the Pascucci family, it was always a big day of celebration.
Every year on the day after Thanksgiving, Sara’s father, Anthony Pascucci, 60, woke up excited to string lights and decorate the lawn of his home and didn’t take them down until February, being the only house with Christmas decorations in the community. Anthony Pascucci believed the brightness of the lights could counter (抵消) some of the darkness of the past year with COVID-19.
In 2020, as in every other year, Anthony Pascucci strung colorful lights all around their roof until it looked as if sparkles were dripping onto the hallway. Sara’s brother, Anthony Jr. helped with the wiring, while Sara hung ornaments (装饰物) on the tree inside the house playing the song “White Christmas” over and over to keep everyone in the spirit. The whole place looked like a scene from a pop-up Christmas storybook.
On Christmas Eve, the whole house twinkled with lights and gifts were piled under the tree. Everyone was looking forward to overly stuffed clams-a typical Italian feast. But most of all, they looked forward to enjoying another Christmas together as a family.
However, Sara received a call from her colleague who had tested positive for COVID-19. Though Sara didn’t have any symptoms she decided to get tested right away, as well as the whole family. When their results came back they all learned that they also had COVID-19. Several weeks later on early February, Anthony Pascucci passed away after getting lung infections.
In addition to helping to plan the funeral for her father, Sara had to tackle a seemingly endless list of difficult to-dos. It was almost too much to bear.

Our love had bloomed and deepened from a guarded mutual respect to a richer, deeper friendship. (那封信是我儿子临死前写的，当时他三岁，这封信是最私人的，也许也是最深刻的。她写道：“我认为他用他渺小但华丽的存在，点燃了你爱的火焰，让你变得更好。”在我的一生中，我从来没有读过比这更令人宽慰的句子，这句话道出了我最大的希望，最深的恐惧，以及我仅存的信念，那就是对混乱的信念。我们的感情从一种谨慎的相互尊重发展成为一种更丰富、更深的友谊。)”可知，芭芭拉在信中所表示出来的同情使得我们之间的关系从互相尊重变成了更深层次的友谊。故选B。

12．D 13．B 14．A 15．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了评估范围广泛的行为信息会让判断一个人是否在撒谎变得更加困难。阿姆斯特丹大学的Bruno Verschuere和他的同事们进行了一项研究以证实只依靠陈述的细节来识别说谎者是相对容易的，研究表明，仅仅使用一个线索就可以提供一种更简单的方法来根据事实判断谎言。
12．细节理解题。根据第一段中“but studies have shown that assessing a wide range of behavioural information can make it harder to decide if someone is lying. Bruno Verschuere at the University of Amsterdam and his colleagues wondered whether solely focusing on the detail of statements could provide more consistent results.(但研究表明，评估范围广泛的行为信息会让判断一个人是否在撒谎变得更加困难。阿姆斯特丹大学的Bruno Verschuere和他的同事们想知道，仅仅关注发言的细节是否能够提供更加一致的结果。)”可知，Bruno Verschuere和他的同事们进行这项研究是想证实只依靠陈述的细节来识别说谎者是相对容易的，故选D。
13．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The results revealed that both truth-tellers and liars averted (转移) their gaze a similar amount, but truthful statements were substantially more detailed than deceptive ones, suggesting the latter is a more useful way to tell that someone is lying.( 结果显示，说实话的人和说谎的人转移视线的次数相似，但是真实的陈述比欺骗性的陈述更加详细，这表明真实陈述是一种更有用的方式来判断一个人是否在说谎。)”可知，真实的陈述比欺骗性的陈述包含更多的细节。故选B。
14．推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Our take is that using just one cue can provide a simpler way to judge lies from the truth,” says Verschuere. Nevertheless, in the real world, you would probably need to confirm the accuracy of statements through extra further investigations or follow-up questions, he says.(然而，在现实世界中，你可能需要通过额外的进一步调查或后续问题来确认陈述的准确性，他说。)”可推知，Verschuere认为他的研究应用于现实生活中会有一些局限性。故选A。
15．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“People trained to detect lies often rely on multiple signs, such as eye contact, length of responses and the details in what people say, but studies have shown that assessing a wide range of behavioural information can make it harder to decide if someone is lying. Bruno Verschuere at the University of Amsterdam and his colleagues wondered whether solely focusing on the detail of statements could provide more consistent results.(受过识别谎言训练的人通常依赖于多种信号，比如眼神接触、反应时间长短以及人们说话的细节，但研究表明，评估范围广泛的行为信息会让判断一个人是否在撒谎变得更加困难。阿姆斯特丹大学的Bruno Verschuere 和他的同事们想知道，仅仅关注发言的细节是否能够提供更加一致的结果。)”和最后一段中““Our take is that using just one cue can provide a simpler way to judge lies from the truth,” says Verschuere. (Verschuere说:“我们的看法是，仅仅使用一个线索就可以提供一种更简单的方法来根据事实判断谎言。”)”可知，文章主要介绍了评估范围广泛的行为信息会让判断一个人是否在撒谎变得更加困难。阿姆斯特丹大学的Bruno Verschuere和他的同事们进行了一项研究以证实只依靠陈述的细节来识别说谎者是相对容易的，研究表明，仅仅使用一个线索就可以提供一种更简单的方法来根据事实判断谎言。由此可推知，文章的主要目的是告知读者关于识别说谎者的科学发现。故选D。
16．A 17．G 18．F 19．D 20．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了人们陷入糟糕的财务状况是否真的是因为糟糕的决策能力，并且分析了贫困给人们带来的不好的影响。
16．根据空前内容“It’s commonly thought that people get into bad financial situations because of poor decision-making skills.(人们普遍认为，人们陷入糟糕的财务状况是因为糟糕的决策能力)”可知，上文提到的是人们陷入糟糕的财务状况是因为糟糕的决策能力。而下文“In fact, several studies over the last decade have demonstrated that the cause and effect may be more complex than is widely believed.(事实上，过去十年的几项研究表明，因果关系可能比人们普遍认为的要复杂得多)”则认为答案不是那么简单。选项A“But is poverty really caused by poor thinking?(但是，贫穷真的是由糟糕的思维造成的吗？)”对上文观点提出质疑，同时引出下文，也就是本文的主题——人们陷入糟糕的财务状况的原因很复杂。故选A。
17．根据下文“Scientists first asked the study participants a series of questions that made them think about their personal income and savings. They were then asked to solve a number of puzzles.(科学家首先向研究参与者提出了一系列问题，让他们思考自己的个人收入和储蓄。然后他们被要求解决一些谜题)”可知，科学家们进行了一个实验，想弄清楚个人经济状况和解决谜题之间是否有联系。选项G“One study in the journal Science in 2013 showed that people’s abilities to solve problems can be significantly affected by their current financial situation.(2013年发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究表明，人们解决问题的能力可能会受到当前经济状况的显著影响)”与下文内容一致，故选G。
18．根据上文内容“Those in better financial situations performed better at solving the puzzles than those in financial trouble. However, when the test was repeated without making the participants think about their own finances, the differences in performance between the rich and poor disappeared.(那些财务状况较好的人比那些财务困难的人在解决谜题方面表现得更好。然而，当在不让参与者考虑自己财务状况的情况下重复测试时，富人和穷人之间的表现差异就消失了)”可知，根据研究结果，我们可以推断人们解决问题的能力会受到自己经济状况的影响。选项F“This suggested that the distraction of worrying about their bad finances made the poor people perform worse than those with no financial worries.(这表明，担心自己糟糕的财务状况会使穷人的表现比那些没有财务问题的人更差)”是上文研究的总结，符合上文内容。故选F。
19．根据上文内容“In a separate study conducted in 2018 at the University of Texas, the brains of more than 300 people aged between 20 and 89 were scanned and analyzed for signs of good cognitive function. Among those aged between 35 and 64, it was found that those with better financial situations had healthier brains, including characteristics linked to having a better memory and a lower risk of dementia when elderly. However, in younger adults (those aged 20 to 34), there did not seem to be any connection between wealth and brain health.(在2018年德克萨斯大学进行的另一项研究中，对300多名年龄在20岁至89岁之间的人的大脑进行了扫描和分析，以寻找良好认知功能的迹象。研究发现，在35岁至64岁的人群中，经济状况较好的人大脑更健康，包括记忆力更好、老年痴呆症风险更低等特征。然而，在年轻人(年龄在20到34岁之间)中，财富和大脑健康之间似乎没有任何联系)”可知，研究人员进行了研究，以探究贫困和大脑健康之间的联系。选项D“Taken together, these results indicate that long-term poverty only gradually causes wear and tear on the brain.(综上所述，这些结果表明长期贫困只会逐渐导致大脑的磨损)”是上文研究结果的总结，该研究表明，长期贫困会对大脑无益。故选D。
20．根据段首句“It’s not difficult to guess why poverty might have these effects.(难猜测为什么贫穷会产生这些影响)”可知，本段分析了贫困为什么会有这些不好的影响。选项C“They are more affected by negative environmental elements such as pollution.(他们更容易受到污染等负面环境因素的影响)”指的正是贫困给人们带来的不好的影响，与空前“People who live in poorer conditions often have difficulty affording healthy food.(生活条件较差的人往往难以负担得起健康食品)”以及空后“And always worrying about having enough money to pay rent or put food on the table puts constant demands on the brain, leaving less processing power available for critical thinking.(总是担心是否有足够的钱支付房租或把食物放在桌子上，这对大脑提出了不断的要求，从而减少了批判性思维的处理能力)”内容上保持一致。故选C。
21．C 22．A 23．B 24．A 25．D 26．B 27．D 28．C 29．A 30．B 31．D 32．C 33．A 34．D 35．C

2023届浙江省适应性考试高三6月英语试题
学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________
一、阅读理解
Getting to know your money personality can help you rein in your spending habits and take back control of your personal finances. Here, finance saving money expert Pete Ridley at CarFinanceSaver reveals the UKs core money personalities, along with actions to adopt that reduce the negative consequences of each personality type.
The Spontaneous Spender
A spontaneous spender refers to a person that exhibits a “spend now, think later” attitude. They can find it tricky to differentiate between “need to haves” and “nice to haves”, and often feel “spender’s guilt”.
“Before you make a purchase, take time to decide whether the item is a ‘need to have’ or a ‘nice to have’. This will aid in avoiding splurges (挥霍) that provide short term satisfaction and post-spenders’ guilt.” says Ridley.
The Determined Saver
An underlying sense of worry and fear can be at the root of a persistent saver, and their determination to save disguises an overwhelming fear of money.
“Saving is great,” says Ridley, “but it’s important to regard money as a friend and not an enemy. Always be sure to make non-essential purchases. These items don’t have to be a major expense, but just enough that you acknowledge that money can be there to be enjoyed and not just put away.”
The Money=Status
This personality type can live beyond their means by making purchases that they don’t need, striving to keep up with others and saying yes to friendship plans that they cannot afford, to keep up the appearance of financial wellbeing.
“It’s here that you can adopt the 50/20/30 rule: 50 percent essential living expenses, 30 percent disposable income and 20 percent saving and paying debts,” suggests Ridley.
This will maintain financial wellbeing while helping to acknowledge that money doesn’t necessarily equal status or even impress those around you.
1．Which type of money personality is not mentioned in the text?
A．Cathy struggles to check her bank balance.
B．Eden tends to spend on impulse with little pre-planning.
C．Gill demonstrates a determined saver approach to her finances.
D．Joyce buys an unaffordable luxury to boast about her financial wellbeing.
2．What does Ridley suggest people do if they are always making purchases to impress others?
A．Manage your money wisely. B．Spend some money on non-essentials for joy.
C．Check your finances regularly. D．Take time to assess how much you love the items.
3．In which section of a magazine can the text be found?
A．Health. B．Business. C．Finance. D．Culture.
During my first year in college, I was silent. I was too afraid of saying something wrong.
I declared a religion major as a sophomore and took a class from Barbara, a young theologian. My mind was split open by a range of new thinkers and writers and by the quality of Barbara’s questions, I finally had something to say and the energy to say it. I was a frequent visitor during Barbara’s office hours, a rocket of words. She listened and calmly responded, a perfect contrast to my feverish ramblings. I loved what she saw in me, which was a range of abilities I had never seen in myself. In the following years, our relationship gradually deepened, but I was always conscious of a teacher-student dynamic.
This changed fundamentally when I became a parent. I had my son in March 2010, and Barbara was one of the first to congratulate me. When, nine months later, my child was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease, a rare and always terminal illness with no treatment and no cure, she sent me a letter-handwritten on a white legal pad. For the next two and a half years, Barbara wrote me regular, sometimes weekly, letters, remarkable letters that are revealing, loving, and kind.
The letter written right before my son died, when he was three, was the most personal and perhaps the most profound. “I think he’s made you better by opening up the great fire of your love,” she wrote, “with his small but magnificent existence.” I have never in my life read a more deeply comforting sentence, one that spoke to my grandest hopes, my deepest fears, and the only faith that remains to me, which is a belief in chaos. Our love had bloomed and deepened from a guarded mutual respect to a richer, deeper friendship.
Mentors are meant to lead those in their charge into fresh understanding, help them sort and filter new experiences, assist in the project of making sense out of the chaos that is human life. Mentors observe and accompany the darkest despair, the wildest sorrow, and the most unexpected joy.
4．What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A．The author took the class because she excelled1 in theology.
B．Their relationship changed significantly beyond a teacher-student mode.
C．The author was a frequent visitor to Barbara’s home after working hours.
D．Barbara’s peaceful exterior was a contrast to the author’s overexcited talk.
5．What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The way Barbara treated her students. B．The fact that the author kept silent in class.
C．The role of the author as a college student. D．The relationship between Barbara and the author.
6．What transformed the relationship between Barbara and the author from a mutual respect to a deeper friendship?
A．Barbara’s efforts to solve the problem.
B．Barbara’s sympathy shown in the letter.
C．The author’s in-depth understanding of Barbara.
D．Barbara’s congratulations on the birth of the author’s son.
7．What does the author think of Barbara?
A．Demanding and dedicated. B．Responsible and reasonable.
C．Insightful and inspiring. D．Aggressive and ambitious.
OpenAI has announced a major upgrade to support ChatGPT, the seemingly magical online tool that professionals have been using to draft emails, write blog posts and more. It opens a new era of hyper-efficiency, where professionals will have to work smarter and faster — or risk being left behind.
Powerful AI like ChatGPT isn’t going to replace professional workers, as many have instinctively feared. But they will put them under greater pressure to be more productive and faster at what they do. Prior to translation tools like Google Translate and DeepL, a professional would translate between 1,000 and 2,000 words per day. Now, professionals are expected to manage 7, 000 words, according to Nuria Llanderas, a professional interpreter with over 20 years of experience. Peers predict more AI systems will support simultaneous translation, potentially leading to more work for human translators in practice, checking that the machine’s output isn’t wrong.
The rise of technology also raises the bar on human performance. Llanderas adds that with the extra help, there are no excuses for leaving anything out. Much of this is typical of the march of technology, where smartphones and tools like Slack allow us to be connected and communicate more effectively. However, these tools have also chained us to work, leaving less time for contemplation, strategic thinking, or simply taking a break.
The powerful AI 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.
8．Which of the following is TRUE about AI-related tools?
A．They are able to complete tasks without making errors.
B．They’re likely to assist human workers in increasing outputs.
C．They contribute to fostering positive relationship between colleagues.
D．They can relieve human workers of pressure from demanding employers.
9．According to the last two paragraphs, employees with frequent access to AI tend to ________.
A．get higher salary B．suffer mental exhaustion
C．enjoy more leisure time D．cultivate strategic thinking
10．What is author’s attitude toward introducing AI to workplaces?
A．Supportive. B．Tolerant. C．Concerned. D．Indifferent.
11．What’s the passage mainly about?
A．AI like ChatGPT provides more freedom for human workers.
B．The improvement in efficiency is largely attributed to AI like ChatGPT.
C．The development of AI like ChatGPT poses negative impacts on humans.
D．The disadvantages of AI like ChatGPT outweigh its advantages in the workplace.
People trained to detect lies often rely on multiple signs, such as eye contact, length of responses and the details in what people say, but studies have shown that assessing a wide range of behavioural information can make it harder to decide if someone is lying. Bruno Verschuere at the University of Amsterdam and his colleagues wondered whether solely focusing on the detail of statements could provide more consistent results.
To test this idea, researchers asked 44 students to go for a walk or steal from a mock (模仿的) crime. Students were instructed to lie if they committed the fake theft.
Next, the researchers recruited 171 people to watch six truthful and six deceptive (欺骗的) interviews from these recordings, ranking interviewees’ eye contact and detail level. The results revealed that both truth-tellers and liars averted (转移) their gaze a similar amount, but truthful statements were substantially more detailed than deceptive ones, suggesting the latter is a more useful way to tell that someone is lying.
The researchers then asked 405 people to judge the true nature of six truthful and six deceptive statements randomly chosen from the interviews. Around half of the participants used multiple cues to identify liars. The remaining participants solely ranked the level of detail in answers on a scale of 1 to 10, with1 a 6 or above counting as truthful. Those using multiple cues distinguished lies from the truth 59% of the time, while those relying solely on detail achieved 66%.
“Our take is that using just one cue can provide a simpler way to judge lies from the truth,” says Verschuere. Nevertheless, in the real world, you would probably need to confirm the accuracy of statements through extra further investigations or follow-up questions, he says.
12．Bruno Verschuere and his colleagues conducted the research to confirm that ________.
A．behavioral information played a vital role in finding out the truth
B．people should be trained to detect lies by referring to multiple cues
C．truthtellers and liars shared something in common when performing the task
D．it’s relatively easier to identify liars by relying only on the detail of statements
13．What can we learn from paragraph 3 and 4?
A．Liars turned away their eyes more often than truth-tellers.
B．Truthful statements included considerably more details than deceptive ones.
C．It’s difficult for participants to detect liars by using multiple cues like eye contact.
D．Participants who relied on one cue can distinguish lies from the truth faultlessly.
14．What did Verschuere think of the real-life application of his research?
A．It had some limitations. B．It made no sense.
C．It could be perfectly applied. D．It had no potential market.
15．What’s the purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce readers to the classification of lies.
B．To encourage readers to apply the results in real life.
C．To warn readers of psychological harm of telling a lie.
D．To inform readers of scientific findings on detecting liars.

It’s commonly thought that people get into bad financial situations because of poor decision-making skills. 16 In fact, several studies over the last decade have demonstrated that the cause and effect may be more complex than is widely believed.
17 Scientists first asked the study participants a series of questions that made them think about their personal income and savings. They were then asked to solve a number of puzzles. Those in better financial situations performed better at solving the puzzles than those in financial trouble. However, when the test was repeated without making the participants think about their own finances, the differences in performance between the rich and poor disappeared. 18
In a separate study conducted in 2018 at the University of Texas, the brains of more than 300 people aged between 20 and 89 were scanned and analyzed for signs of good cognitive function. Among those aged between 35 and 64, it was found that those with better financial situations had healthier brains, including characteristics linked to having a better memory and a lower risk of dementia when elderly. However, in younger adults (those aged 20 to 34), there did not seem to be any connection between wealth and brain health. 19
It’s not difficult to guess why poverty might have these effects. People who live in poorer conditions often have difficulty affording healthy food. 20 And always worrying about having enough money to pay rent or put food on the table puts constant demands on the brain, leaving less processing power available for critical thinking. Indeed, it could be said that poverty is a vicious cycle, keeping people trapped by taking away their best means of escape-their ability to make smart decisions.
A．But is poverty really caused by poor thinking?
B．Unwise decisions people make, to a greater degree, contribute to tight budgets.
C．They are more affected by negative environmental elements such as pollution.
D．Taken together, these results indicate that long-term poverty only gradually causes wear and tear on the brain.
E．Therefore, the scientists concluded that poor thinking plays a major part in one’s future financial condition.
F．This suggested that the distraction of worrying about their bad finances made the poor people perform worse than those with no financial worries.
G．One study in the journal Science in 2013 showed that people’s abilities to solve problems can be significantly affected by their current financial situation.

Along the coastline in northeastern Australia, many flying foxes are infected with a 21 disease. That’s where Pam Tully comes in.
Many 22 flying foxes fall from the trees and die. Pam walks miles in the rainforest, 23 babies still clinging (依偎) to their dying mothers. It’s very 24 work. Pam relies on a few volunteers to help rescue the flying foxes during the migration season. Canace came from America to lend a hand to her aunt Pam, and to 25 some kind of purpose in life after her mother passed away.
Pam taught Canace to 26 the baby flying foxes, keep them wrapped in nappies, nurse them back to health and take them back into the 27 to rejoin their families.
Day after day, Pam led Canace 28 the rainforest, collecting babies and bringing them back to the shed where they were 29 by an animal doctor, fed every two hours by bottle and even taught to fly. Each flying fox released back into the wild was a 30 . And each time one 31 away, the loss Canace felt seemed just a little bit less.
We never 32 get over the loss of a loved one, but when we take care of a 33 creature, or 34 to somebody else who is hurting, the wound 35 just a little bit, and the hurt becomes a memory of being loved.

Up in Lights
For some, putting up Christmas lights is a holiday chore. But for the Pascucci family, it was always a big day of celebration.
Every year on the day after Thanksgiving, Sara’s father, Anthony Pascucci, 60, woke up excited to string lights and decorate the lawn of his home and didn’t take them down until February, being the only house with Christmas decorations in the community. Anthony Pascucci believed the brightness of the lights could counter (抵消) some of the darkness of the past year with COVID-19.
In 2020, as in every other year, Anthony Pascucci strung colorful lights all around their roof until it looked as if sparkles were dripping onto the hallway. Sara’s brother, Anthony Jr. helped with the wiring, while Sara hung ornaments (装饰物) on the tree inside the house playing the song “White Christmas” over and over to keep everyone in the spirit. The whole place looked like a scene from a pop-up Christmas storybook.
On Christmas Eve, the whole house twinkled with lights and gifts were piled under the tree. Everyone was looking forward to overly stuffed clams-a typical Italian feast. But most of all, they looked forward to enjoying another Christmas together as a family.
However, Sara received a call from her colleague who had tested positive for COVID-19. Though Sara didn’t have any symptoms she decided to get tested right away, as well as the whole family. When their results came back they all learned that they also had COVID-19. Several weeks later on early February, Anthony Pascucci passed away after getting lung infections.
In addition to helping to plan the funeral for her father, Sara had to tackle a seemingly endless list of difficult to-dos. It was almost too much to bear.

Our love had bloomed and deepened from a guarded mutual respect to a richer, deeper friendship. (那封信是我儿子临死前写的，当时他三岁，这封信是最私人的，也许也是最深刻的。她写道：“我认为他用他渺小但华丽的存在，点燃了你爱的火焰，让你变得更好。”在我的一生中，我从来没有读过比这更令人宽慰的句子，这句话道出了我最大的希望，最深的恐惧，以及我仅存的信念，那就是对混乱的信念。我们的感情从一种谨慎的相互尊重发展成为一种更丰富、更深的友谊。)”可知，芭芭拉在信中所表示出来的同情使得我们之间的关系从互相尊重变成了更深层次的友谊。故选B。

12．D 13．B 14．A 15．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了评估范围广泛的行为信息会让判断一个人是否在撒谎变得更加困难。阿姆斯特丹大学的Bruno Verschuere和他的同事们进行了一项研究以证实只依靠陈述的细节来识别说谎者是相对容易的，研究表明，仅仅使用一个线索就可以提供一种更简单的方法来根据事实判断谎言。
12．细节理解题。根据第一段中“but studies have shown that assessing a wide range of behavioural information can make it harder to decide if someone is lying. Bruno Verschuere at the University of Amsterdam and his colleagues wondered whether solely focusing on the detail of statements could provide more consistent results.(但研究表明，评估范围广泛的行为信息会让判断一个人是否在撒谎变得更加困难。阿姆斯特丹大学的Bruno Verschuere和他的同事们想知道，仅仅关注发言的细节是否能够提供更加一致的结果。)”可知，Bruno Verschuere和他的同事们进行这项研究是想证实只依靠陈述的细节来识别说谎者是相对容易的，故选D。
13．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The results revealed that both truth-tellers and liars averted (转移) their gaze a similar amount, but truthful statements were substantially more detailed than deceptive ones, suggesting the latter is a more useful way to tell that someone is lying.( 结果显示，说实话的人和说谎的人转移视线的次数相似，但是真实的陈述比欺骗性的陈述更加详细，这表明真实陈述是一种更有用的方式来判断一个人是否在说谎。)”可知，真实的陈述比欺骗性的陈述包含更多的细节。故选B。
14．推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Our take is that using just one cue can provide a simpler way to judge lies from the truth,” says Verschuere. Nevertheless, in the real world, you would probably need to confirm the accuracy of statements through extra further investigations or follow-up questions, he says.(然而，在现实世界中，你可能需要通过额外的进一步调查或后续问题来确认陈述的准确性，他说。)”可推知，Verschuere认为他的研究应用于现实生活中会有一些局限性。故选A。
15．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“People trained to detect lies often rely on multiple signs, such as eye contact, length of responses and the details in what people say, but studies have shown that assessing a wide range of behavioural information can make it harder to decide if someone is lying. Bruno Verschuere at the University of Amsterdam and his colleagues wondered whether solely focusing on the detail of statements could provide more consistent results.(受过识别谎言训练的人通常依赖于多种信号，比如眼神接触、反应时间长短以及人们说话的细节，但研究表明，评估范围广泛的行为信息会让判断一个人是否在撒谎变得更加困难。阿姆斯特丹大学的Bruno Verschuere 和他的同事们想知道，仅仅关注发言的细节是否能够提供更加一致的结果。)”和最后一段中““Our take is that using just one cue can provide a simpler way to judge lies from the truth,” says Verschuere. (Verschuere说:“我们的看法是，仅仅使用一个线索就可以提供一种更简单的方法来根据事实判断谎言。”)”可知，文章主要介绍了评估范围广泛的行为信息会让判断一个人是否在撒谎变得更加困难。阿姆斯特丹大学的Bruno Verschuere和他的同事们进行了一项研究以证实只依靠陈述的细节来识别说谎者是相对容易的，研究表明，仅仅使用一个线索就可以提供一种更简单的方法来根据事实判断谎言。由此可推知，文章的主要目的是告知读者关于识别说谎者的科学发现。故选D。
16．A 17．G 18．F 19．D 20．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了人们陷入糟糕的财务状况是否真的是因为糟糕的决策能力，并且分析了贫困给人们带来的不好的影响。
16．根据空前内容“It’s commonly thought that people get into bad financial situations because of poor decision-making skills.(人们普遍认为，人们陷入糟糕的财务状况是因为糟糕的决策能力)”可知，上文提到的是人们陷入糟糕的财务状况是因为糟糕的决策能力。而下文“In fact, several studies over the last decade have demonstrated that the cause and effect may be more complex than is widely believed.(事实上，过去十年的几项研究表明，因果关系可能比人们普遍认为的要复杂得多)”则认为答案不是那么简单。选项A“But is poverty really caused by poor thinking?(但是，贫穷真的是由糟糕的思维造成的吗？)”对上文观点提出质疑，同时引出下文，也就是本文的主题——人们陷入糟糕的财务状况的原因很复杂。故选A。
17．根据下文“Scientists first asked the study participants a series of questions that made them think about their personal income and savings. They were then asked to solve a number of puzzles.(科学家首先向研究参与者提出了一系列问题，让他们思考自己的个人收入和储蓄。然后他们被要求解决一些谜题)”可知，科学家们进行了一个实验，想弄清楚个人经济状况和解决谜题之间是否有联系。选项G“One study in the journal Science in 2013 showed that people’s abilities to solve problems can be significantly affected by their current financial situation.(2013年发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究表明，人们解决问题的能力可能会受到当前经济状况的显著影响)”与下文内容一致，故选G。
18．根据上文内容“Those in better financial situations performed better at solving the puzzles than those in financial trouble. However, when the test was repeated without making the participants think about their own finances, the differences in performance between the rich and poor disappeared.(那些财务状况较好的人比那些财务困难的人在解决谜题方面表现得更好。然而，当在不让参与者考虑自己财务状况的情况下重复测试时，富人和穷人之间的表现差异就消失了)”可知，根据研究结果，我们可以推断人们解决问题的能力会受到自己经济状况的影响。选项F“This suggested that the distraction of worrying about their bad finances made the poor people perform worse than those with no financial worries.(这表明，担心自己糟糕的财务状况会使穷人的表现比那些没有财务问题的人更差)”是上文研究的总结，符合上文内容。故选F。
19．根据上文内容“In a separate study conducted in 2018 at the University of Texas, the brains of more than 300 people aged between 20 and 89 were scanned and analyzed for signs of good cognitive function. Among those aged between 35 and 64, it was found that those with better financial situations had healthier brains, including characteristics linked to having a better memory and a lower risk of dementia when elderly. However, in younger adults (those aged 20 to 34), there did not seem to be any connection between wealth and brain health.(在2018年德克萨斯大学进行的另一项研究中，对300多名年龄在20岁至89岁之间的人的大脑进行了扫描和分析，以寻找良好认知功能的迹象。研究发现，在35岁至64岁的人群中，经济状况较好的人大脑更健康，包括记忆力更好、老年痴呆症风险更低等特征。然而，在年轻人(年龄在20到34岁之间)中，财富和大脑健康之间似乎没有任何联系)”可知，研究人员进行了研究，以探究贫困和大脑健康之间的联系。选项D“Taken together, these results indicate that long-term poverty only gradually causes wear and tear on the brain.(综上所述，这些结果表明长期贫困只会逐渐导致大脑的磨损)”是上文研究结果的总结，该研究表明，长期贫困会对大脑无益。故选D。
20．根据段首句“It’s not difficult to guess why poverty might have these effects.(难猜测为什么贫穷会产生这些影响)”可知，本段分析了贫困为什么会有这些不好的影响。选项C“They are more affected by negative environmental elements such as pollution.(他们更容易受到污染等负面环境因素的影响)”指的正是贫困给人们带来的不好的影响，与空前“People who live in poorer conditions often have difficulty affording healthy food.(生活条件较差的人往往难以负担得起健康食品)”以及空后“And always worrying about having enough money to pay rent or put food on the table puts constant demands on the brain, leaving less processing power available for critical thinking.(总是担心是否有足够的钱支付房租或把食物放在桌子上，这对大脑提出了不断的要求，从而减少了批判性思维的处理能力)”内容上保持一致。故选C。

36．考查冠词。句意：周二，阿利坎特考古博物馆举办了一场独特的展览，展出被称为“世界第八大奇迹”的中国著名的兵马俑。修饰可数名词单数，表泛指，用不定冠词，且unique发音是以辅音音素开头。故填a。

39．考查定语从句。句意：展览分为三个展厅，分别展示了秦始皇统一中国的历史、他的陵墓和神秘的兵马俑。空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词“three galleries”，指物，且关系词在定语从句中担当主语，用关系代词which或that引导。故填which或that。
40．考查形容词。句意：展览分为三个展厅，分别展示了秦始皇统一中国的历史、他的陵墓和神秘的兵马俑。分析句子成分可知，空处为形容词，修饰“Terracotta Warriors”。故填mysterious。

44．考查原因状语从句。句意：他说，该省“将在未来10个月内成为欧洲的文化中心，因为这是自新冠肺炎疫情以来中国兵马俑首次在国外展出。”根据句意可知，空处考查原因状语从句的连接词，用because或者as。故填because/as。
45．考查时态和语态。句意：他说，该省“将在未来10个月内成为欧洲的文化中心，因为这是自新冠肺炎疫情以来中国兵马俑首次在国外展出。” 这里为从句的谓语动词，句型：it is the first time that…中，从句的时态为现在完成时；主语为“the Chinese Terracotta Warriors”，复数，和动词exhibit之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。故填have been exhibited。

47．But when she returned to the house after the funeral, the twinkling Christmas lights brought her a spark of joy. The lights were a sign of hope and resilience, a reminder that even in the darkest times, there is still beauty and brightness to be found. Sara realized that her father’s tradition of putting up Christmas lights wasn’t just about making their own home festive, it was about spreading that joy and hope to others as well.
In the following days, more and more Christmas lights were reappearing on neighbors’ houses. And soon the whole street was aglow with colorful lights and decorations. Every evening, families would take walks around the neighborhood, admiring the festive displays and feeling a sense of community and togetherness. The Pascucci family’s tradition had taken on a life of its own, becoming a symbol of resilience and hope in the face of difficult times. And as the years went on, the lights continued to shine brightly, bringing joy and comfort to all who saw them.
