2.C 细节理解题。根据WhereButterfliesFilltheSky中的“Thispicturebkabutimmigratindealswithitsseriussubjectmatterwhilekeepingheart,humrandfamilyclseathand.”以及“Ittellsthetruestryfhwthegirlandherfamilymvedfrmnelandtanther.”可知,C项正确。

Passage2
[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。西班牙50岁的登山运动员BeatrizFlamini在2021年11月21日进入洞穴,在一组科学家的监视下独自度过了500天,以便科学家们探索隔离对人体和精神的影响。
1.B 细节理解题。从第二段的“mnitredbyagrupfscientists”可知,科学家们没有和她待在一起,因此A项错误;根据第四段以及第六段的“Infact,Ididn’twanttcmeut,”可知B项正确;根据第六段的“Flaminisaidshe’dlsttrackftimeafterabuttwmnthsinthecave,andthughtshehadnlybeenintherefrsme160r170days.”可知C项错误;根据第六段的“Shedescribedtheexperienceas ‘excellent,unbeatable’”可知,她感觉这次经历是“极好的,无与伦比的”,而不是“难以忍受的”,故D项错误。
2.D 推理判断题。第四段说,当人们下去带Flamini出去的时候,她正在睡觉,还以为发生了什么事,说她还有书没读完。由此可以推知,她没有预料到已经在洞里待了500天了。
3.B 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Wh’sbuyingthebeer?”以及倒数第二段的“Flaminijkeditmadeherfeellikeitstillwastheheightfthepandemic.”可知,Flamini是一个幽默的人;从全文可知,一个人待在地下500天而从未消极害怕,由此可知她是一个乐观的人,一个内心强大的人,故B项正确。
4.C 主旨大意题。全文讲述了西班牙50岁的登山运动员BeatrizFlamini在将近一年半的时间里,待在地下230英尺的地方几乎完全与世隔绝,以便科学家们研究隔离对人体和精神的影响。

2.B 主旨大意题。第四段说ChatGPT是新一代人工智能系统的一部分,并介绍了它推出的时间和用途;第五段介绍了ChatGPT的设计特点,对用户更加友好。因此B项正确。
3.C 词义猜测题。前一句说,ChatGPT的发布几乎没有关于如何使用它的指导。但是程序会承认它的错误。这里说,它还将质疑“不正确的 ”;后一句说,它还拒绝旨在带来冒犯性答案的请求。因此,引号里面的意思应该是指不正确的前提、假设或者条件等,因此C项正确。
4.D 主旨大意题。全文首先举例说明了人工智能工具ChatGPT强大的写作功能,然后整体介绍了ChatGPT的用途和特点,这也是美国的一些学校在设备和网络上屏蔽它的原因。
