Have you ever seen a kid in class who wouldn’t volunteer to read or answer a question? I was that type of
student. Talking in class was a struggle for me because the fear of saying the wrong thing was always on my mind.
There were constant announcements about students in our class winning writing awards. It was a dream for me.
I have always felt unsure of myself when writing. Semicolons confused me and I used too many commas. I had no
idea how to cite anything. During my freshman year, the teacher would pick the best essay in our class to be read
out loud, but mine was never chosen. I found it really hard to write an essay.
One teacher Mr. Wilson, who taught me the next semester, changed everything. He was in his fifties and had a
reputation for having a particular teaching style. He connected writing and reading to football, but somehow it
made sense. What really made him special to me was that every class he would pick someone to read their writing
out loud to the class.
In one of his lessons, he said: “I will not always pick the essay that I think has the best grammar or use of
vocabulary. I will pick the one that I think has the most character.” This part was confusing tome because how can
writing have character? He went on to explain: “I want to read something that I can tell the writer feel a lot while
writing it. I want to feel the emotions you were going through as you wrote it.”
A few weeks later, for the first time, my essay was chosen to be read to my classmates. I can’t even remember
what it was about, but I remember how nervous I was to see his reaction, mixed with pride at the fact that he felt
like my work was worth sharing. He gave me his comments at the end of it, but I was too nervous to remember
them. After class, he told me he was excited to read more of my work.
He made me feel special in the way he led the class, and I got over my fear of sharing my work in class. He
made me believe in my writing abilities and gave me the confidence to continue writing.
24．Talking in class used to be difficult for the author because __________.
A．he had never won any awards for speaking B．he didn’t know how to answer questions
微信公众号：【高中精品资料君】全网最全电子讲义以及最全网课，有需要的联系微信：xygewx002C．he had no idea how to cite anything D．he was afraid of making mistakes
25．According to the author, what made Mr. Wilson different from other teachers?

C．His interest in writing. D．His passion for football.
26．From the passage, we can know that __________.
A．Mr. Wilson preferred essays with good use of vocabulary
B．the author remembered Mr. Wilson’s comments very well
C．Mr. Wilson thought the author’s passage was full of emotions
D．the author believed that his essay was worth sharing in the class
27．Which of the following words can best describe Mr. Wilson?
A．Kind and ambitious. B．Honest and confident.
C．Creative and inspiring. D．Reliable and generous.
C
Demanding days seem designed to test our self-control. We all need to rely on willpower to avoid short-term
temptations and override unwanted thoughts or impulses (冲动). The prevailing psychological theory proposed that
willpower resembled a kind of battery. With each exercise of self-control, you exhausted this resource. Without a
chance to recharge, that resource ran low, making it harder to maintain self-control. This process was known as
“ego depletion”.
In 2010, however, psychologist Veronika Job published a study that questioned the foundations of “ego
depletion” theory, with some interesting evidence that ego depletion depended on people’s underlying beliefs. In
the study, Job divided participants into two categories: those with a “limited” view of willpower and those with a
“non-limited” view of willpower, based on a prior questionnaire. She then gave the participants some standard
laboratory tests examining mental focus, which was considered to depend on the reserves of willpower. The study
found that people with a limited mindset tended to perform exactly as ego depletion theory would predict but the
non-limited individuals did not, which indicated that people’s beliefs about willpower could be self-fulfilling
微信公众号：【高中精品资料君】全网最全电子讲义以及最全网课，有需要的联系微信：xygewx002prophecies (预言). Those who believed willpower was easily depleted saw their self-control decrease, while those
who believed in “mental stamina (耐力)” experienced no ego depletion.
Subsequent debates about the reliability of the laboratory tests of ego depletion emerged, but Job’s work
demonstrated that mindset significantly impacted real-life outcomes. Her follow-up study revealed that after
completing demanding tasks, most participants recovered to some degree overnight, but those with non-limited
mindsets actually experienced an increase in their productivity the following day, as if energized by the extra
pressure.
If you already have a non-limited mindset about willpower, these findings might be a cause for
self-satisfaction. For those with limited mindsets, hope is not lost. Learning about this science can help shift beliefs.
Sharing this knowledge with others can further consolidate this shift. Moreover, recollecting times of engaging in
taxing yet enjoyable tasks naturally shifts people’s beliefs toward non-limited mindsets, as they see proof of their
own men tal stamina. To provide yourself with further evidence, you can conduct small self-control tests. As you
realize your willpower’s growth, you’ll find resisting temptations and distractions easier.
While immediate miracles aren’t guaranteed, perseverance will lead to a changed mindset and increased
self-control, propelling actions toward personal goals.
28．“Ego depletion” theory shows that willpower ________.
A．helps control our impulses B．reduces after exercising self-control
C．is a test of your character D．is like a chargeable battery
29．What can we learn from Job’s two studies?
A．Extra pressure boosts mental focus.
B．Demanding tasks reduce mental focus.
C．Reserves of willpower depend on mental focus.
D．The change of mental focus relies on one’s mindset.
30．Which of the following can build non-limited mindsets?
A．Picturing your ideal university.

Faced with an attempt by a new chatbot to imitate (模仿) his own songs, the musician Nick Cave delivered a
strong response: it was “an absolutely horrible attempt”. He understood that AI was in its babyhood, but could only
conclude that the true horror might be that “it will forever be in its babyhood”. While a robot might one day be able
to create a song, he wrote, it would never grow beyond “a kind of burlesque (滑稽的模仿)”, because robots-being
composed of data-are unable to suffer, while songs arise out of suffering.
Fans of Cave and his band will agree that his music is inimitable, but that doesn’t mean they would necessarily
be able to tell the difference. A few days before Cave’s remarks, experts were asked to distinguish between four
genuine artworks and their AI imitations. Their conclusions were wrong five times out of 12, and they were only
unitedly right in one of the four picture comparisons.
These are party games, but they point to an unfolding challenge that must be managed as a matter of urgency
because, like it or not, AI art is upon us. The arrival of the human-impersonating ChatGPT might have increased
general awareness, but artists across a wide range of disciplines are already exploring its potential, with the dancer
Wayne McGregor and London’s Young Vic Theatre among those who have created AI-based works.
A strongly-worded report from Communications and Digital Committee (CDC) issued a wake-up call to the
government, urging it to raise its game in educating future generations of tech-savvy professionals, and tackling
key regulatory challenges. These included reviewing reforms to intellectual property law, strengthening the rights
of performers and artists, and taking action to support the creative sector in adapting to the disturbances caused by
swift and stormy technological change.
While developing AI is important, it should not be pursued at all costs, the CDC stressed. It deplored the
failure of the Department for Digital, Culture, and Media to offer a defence against proposed changes to intellectual
property law that would give copyright exemption (版权豁免) to any work, anywhere in the world, involving AI
text and data mining.
The challenges of AI are both philosophical, as Cave suggested, and practical. They will unfold over the short
微信公众号：【高中精品资料君】全网最全电子讲义以及最全网课，有需要的联系微信：xygewx002and long term. State-of-the-art creative industries have a key role to play in shaping and exploring the philosophical
ones, but they must have the practical help they require to survive and be successful. They need it now.
31．Why does the author mention the four picture comparisons in Paragraph 2?
A．To stress the similarities between AI art and human art.
B．To argue that human art will be replaced by AI art.
C．To prove AI is stretching the boundaries of art.
D．To imply AI art cannot be underestimated.
32．What does the underlined word “deplored” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．Clearly analyzed. B．Bravely suffered.
C．Strongly criticized. D．Accurately perceived.
33．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Some artists see AI as a tool even though it is a threat.
B．Creative industries are responsible for causing the AI problem.
C．Tech professionals need more training to better understand AI art.
D．The quality of AI art dismisses concerns about intellectual property.
34．Which would be the best title for the passage?
A．The Creative Thief: AI Makes Perfect Art
B．AI in Art: A Battle That Must Be Fought
C．Threat or Opportunity: The Impact of AI on Art
D．The Rise of AI Art: What It Means to Human Artists

The term “growth mindset” has become something of a buzzword in our life. You can find it everywhere you
look—in the seminars of motivational speakers, in the education course descriptions, and in the mission statements
of companies. 35
One of the biggest misconceptions about growth mindset is that it is the same thing as being open-minded in
your beliefs. This is untrue. Being open-minded in your beliefs is often the belief on what true growth mindset is,
but this is actually called “false growth mindset” in the research community. 36 What this means is that
they have a fixed belief on their intelligence level, which is exactly what a fixed mindset is. They believe that they
are growing, when in reality they are not.
Being open-minded to other people’s beliefs and new things is great, but it does not mean that you are actually
learning anything. Furthermore, there is no way to ever have a truly complete growth mindset. 37 It is
important that you accept this and embrace it, while still desiring to experience growth anyway. This is the only
way you can truly foster as m’ of a growth mindset as humanly possible.
38 Unproductive efforts that are merely done for the reward or outcome are not considered to be
growth mindset. True growth mindset has nothing to do with reward or outcome. Rather, it is based entirely on the
learning and growing process itself. When you are invested in a growth mindset, you are invested in the process
regardless of the outcome.
39 You cannot simply “have” a growth mindset. You have to want one, and invest in having one.
Understanding the truth about growth mindset will enable you to understand exactly how this trait can assist you in
life.
A．Mindset is a lot harder than “just do it”.
B．It is virtually impossible, as we are all fixed in some way or another.
C．Another false belief is that growth mindset is about rewarded efforts.
D．A second misconception is that people’s motivation comes from the process.
E．But despite its popularity, some people don’t understand what it actually means.
F．This is essentially people who have an “I already have it, and I always have” attitude.

第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分)
第一节(共 4 小题;第 40、41题各 2分，第 42题 3分，第 43题 5分，共 12分)
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
“What if…?” thinking is anytime you try to guess the future outcome of an action you take. For example, “I
want to ask for a pay raise but what if…?” Your mind then fills in the blank with many alternate scenarios, almost
all of them negative.
It’s a powerful combination of focusing on the negative and the unrealistic. It causes you to suffer through
events that may not even happen as you try to predict the future and work out how you’ll cope with all these
possible(yet unlikely)scenarios. But the absolute worst thing about “what if…” thinking though, is that it tries to
convince you it’s helping. You tell yourself that you’re just preparing yourself, you’re protecting yourself. But
“what if…” thinking rarely leads to taking practical, preventative actions. Instead, you torture yourself by
imagining all sorts of terrible outcomes, all in the name of being “prepared”, the idea of which is captured
beautifully by this quote: “Do not be fooled by ‘what if…’ thinking! You are not a fortune teller. Even if you were,
mentally rehearsing how you’ll cope with a negative outcome has limited usefulness. You’re much better off just
coping with the situation once when it happens.” By torturing yourself imagining all the possible bad things that
could happen, you end up living through all these horrible possibilities that you don’t have to.
Even if you do get it right, and one of the negative scenarios is the outcome, you’re unlikely to remember your
well-rehearsed comeback or safety strategy in the heat of the moment.
Another separate problem with “what if…?” thinking is that it makes you so fearful of all these potentially
hideous outcomes that it stops you from actually living through the situation, if you can at all avoid it.
By stopping yourself from acting, not only do you cut off the potential benefits of actually asking, but you also
cut off the opportunity to see that your predictions were wrong—because you don’t test them out by entering the
situation regardless. Unchallenged like this, “What if…” thinking seems like it actually protects you and seems
even more “helpful” next time around.
Once you’ve decided on a course of action, “what if…” has got much louder and soon will stop you from
taking action. I like to not give them an opportunity. Once you’ve made a decision, force your own hand: make the

fears and negativity even get a chance to get up off the couch.
40．What is “what if…” thinking?
41．What is the absolute worst thing about “what if…” thinking?
42．Decide which part of the following statement is wrong. Underline it and explain why.
“What if…” thinking actually protects one because it cuts off the opportunity to see that one’s predictions
were wrong.
43．Briefly introduce one of your experiences of fighting “what if…” thinking.(In about 40 words)
