In my eyes, my mother is capable of doing anything, especially chores such as ironing and cooking. However,
teaching her how to use the Internet is as frustrating as untangling(解开) wires.
Once, my mother came to me to ask for help on how to find a recipe for all-beef Lasagna. I gave her very
simple verbal(口头的) instructions—go to the home page of a particular search engine and type in “recipe for
all-beef Lasagna.” Fifteen minutes later, she came to me, telling me that she was unable to find the Internet icon(图
标). I went over to the computer and pointed out the icon to her.
Another fifteen minutes went by when I felt a tap on my shoulder. This time, my mother said that she was
unable to search for the particular recipe. Gritting(咬) my teeth, I walked to her room again. I saw that she had
typed “all beef La saga” instead. With frustrated strokes, I keyed in the correct spelling.
Yet another fifteen minutes went by again when my mother gingerly tapped my shoulder. I stormed next door
without bothering to hide my frustration. The main page of the website had not shifted one bit. I then realised that
she did not know how to scroll down the page. What had initially seemed like an easy task was turning out to be an
intense one.
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：xygewx002To avoid being disturbed again, I decided to find the recipe for her. Without a word, I rapidly downloaded a
few recipes, printed them out and passed them to my mother. However, seeing her embarrassment, I began to regret
my impatience during the whole process.
At that moment, memories flashed through my mind. When I was young, my mother endured my endless
questions, enlightening me with much patience. Now that I am older, the roles slowly reverse. As my mother may
increasingly need my help, shouldn’t I rethink how to respond to her needs?
24．The author’s mother couldn’t find the recipe online mainly because she was ________.
A．unfamiliar with computers and the Internet
B．given unclear instructions by the author
C．too dependent on her family members
D．impatient at searching for the recipe
25．Why did the author print the recipes for his mother at last?
A．Because he was pleased to help his mother out.
B．Because he didn’t want his mother to be embarrassed.
C．Because he was fed up with his mother’s interruption.
D．Because he thought his mother favored the printed version.
26．What message does the author want to convey?
A．It is wise to teach others by examples.
B．Forgiving others is equal to blessing oneself.
C．Patience and perseverance will be finally rewarded.
D．Putting yourself in others’ shoes is the key to understanding.

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：xygewx002People who think of themselves as tough-minded and realistic tend to take it for granted that human nature is
selfish and that life is a struggle in which only the fittest may survive. According to this philosophy, the basic law
by which people must live, is the law of the jungle. The “fittest” are those who can bring to the struggle superior
force, superior cunning and superior ruthlessness.
But we are entitled to ask whether the ruthlessness of the tiger, the cunning of the fox and the obedience to the
law of the jungle are, in their human applications, actually evidence of human fitness to survive. If human beings
are to pick up pointers on behavior from the lower animals, are there not animals other than beasts of prey from
which we might learn lessons in survival?
We might, for example, look to the rabbit or the deer and define fitness to survive as superior speed in running
away from our enemies. We might point to the earthworm or the mole and attribute their fitness to survive to the
ability to keep out of sight and out of the way. If we simply look to animals in order to define what we mean by
“fitness to survive”, there is no limit to the subhuman systems of behavior that we can think up. We may emulate
any animal because they have all obviously survived in one way or another. We are still entitled to ask, however, if
human survival does not revolve around a different kind of fitness from that of the lower animals.
Biologists distinguish between two kinds of struggle for survival. First, there is the interspecific struggle,
warfare between different species of animals. Second, there is the intraspecific struggle, warfare among members
of a single species. A great deal of evidence in modern biology indicates that those species that have developed
elaborate means of intraspecific competition often make themselves unfit for interspecific competition, and that
strength and fierceness in fighting and killing other animals, whether in interspecific or intraspecific competition,
have never been enough in themselves to guarantee the survival of a species.
If we are going to talk about human survival, one of the first things to do, even if we grant that people must
fight to live, is to distinguish between those qualities that are useful in fighting the environment and other species
and those qualities that are useful in fighting other people. There are also characteristics important to human
survival that do not involve fighting.
Cooperation is essential to the survival of most living creatures. And human beings are the talking animals.
Any theory of human survival that leaves this fact out of account is no more scientific than would be a theory of
beaver survival that failed to consider the interesting uses a beaver makes of its teeth and flat tail. Let us see what

It all started when I typed a perfectly reasonable prompt (提示词) into one of several apps on the market that
can create an image based on text. “Skull space laser dinosaur starship explosion,” I wrote. The app processed for a
few seconds, and returned four images, one of which was strangely accurate: a dinosaur-looking skull screamed out
of an empty space, trailing fire. It looked like an illustration from the art magazine, and perhaps art from the
magazine influenced its creation.
Text-to-image AIs identify images by looking at the text that people have used to describe those pictures
online. When the app got my prompt, it studied images that random people had described as “dinosaur” or laser and
soon then used what is called a diffusion model (扩散模型) to add a bunch of random chaos to those pictures. Once
they were suitably completed, it “upscaled” them, removing noise and sharpening focus. Its work is so good that an
artist using it recently won first place for digital images at the Colorado State Fair.
But there are major ethical (道德的) issues raised by the success of such AIs. The biggest has to do with those
training data sets. Reporters recently discovered that the data set used by Text-to-image AIs contained images of
violence. Some companies are working on ways to prevent the public from seeing images based on offensive and
illegal pictures in the data set. A representative of the companies also noted that the images in its data set are
“already available in the public internet on publicly available websites”.
But even if this problem is fixed there is still the question of all the other pictures online that are being
transformed into AI-generated masterpieces. As many artists have pointed out, their works are being used without
payment. The image-generating algorithm (算法) creates illustrations and even movies by using data sets stocked
with art stolen from artists who post their works online.
Some AI researchers argue that their algorithms aren’t stealing from artists so much as learning from them just
as human artists learn from each other. But a more ethical approach would be for companies to acknowledge their
debt to artists and create a model of voluntary collective licensing, much like what radio stations first did in radio’s
early days. Back then, musicians created groups like BMI to collectively license their music to radio stations —
then BMI would pay artists based on how often their songs were played. Perhaps artists and art institutions today
could form a “collecting society” that would allow companies to license their artwork for data sets.
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：xygewx002To create ethical AI systems, we need to acknowledge the people whose work makes those systems so magical.
We can’t simply snarf up every image online — we need humans to manage those data sets and we need to pay
them to do it.
31．What can we learn about Text-to-image AIs from the first two paragraphs?
A．They are developed to process pictures.
B．They are used to describe online pictures.
C．They use a diffusion model to combine pictures.
D．They create their works based on online pictures.
32．One of the issues raised by the success of Text-to-image AIs is ______.
A．the influence upon art creation. B．the availability of online pictures.
C．the neglect of the artists’ copyright. D．the prospect of artists being replaced.
33．Why did the author mention BMI in Paragraph 5?
A．To introduce the role that BMI played in AI history.
B．To present a way to regulate the use of online pictures.
C．To prove the necessity of licensing music to radio stations.
D．To demonstrate the urgency of forming a collecting society.
34．What can we infer from the passage?
A．It is not practical to improve the image-generating algorithm.
B．The function of Text-to-image AIs shouldn’t be underestimated.
C．Human efforts should be valued in the application of Text-to-image AIs.
D．Companies should be held responsible for the illegal pictures on public websites.

The Science of Recreational Fear
From peek-a-boo to Halloween haunted houses, research shows that recreational fear can teach us to face
scary situations. The “paradox of horror” is that being scared, under the right circumstances, can be fun. 35
Having fun with fear is an “extremely important tool for learning,” said Mathias Clasen, director of the
Recreational Fear Lab at Aarhus University in Denmark. “We learn something about the dangers of the world. We
learn something about our own responses: What does it feel like to be afraid? How much fear can I take?”
Horror movies have gotten more popular. And in one survey of more than 1,000 Americans, conducted by
Clasen, 55% described themselves as horror fans. 36 Many people who would not consider themselves
fans of fear enjoy true-crime podcasts and novels featuring violence and murder. Others may enjoy nature
documentaries about top predators (捕食性动物) such as sharks and bears.
Even babies like being a little spooked (惊的). Peek-a-boo is “an infant jump scare,” Clasen said. 37
“I don’t think I’ve yet come across a person who did not enjoy some kind of recreational fear,” he said.
38 It is a combination of an adrenaline (肾上腺素) rush and an opportunity to learn about dealing
with scary situations in a safe environment, researchers say. When we are afraid, our endocrine system releases
adrenaline, noradrenaline and cortisol to help prepare our body for physical action. We know the “Halloween”
movie Michael Myers is not real, but our brain still responds as if he were a burning threat. One brain imaging
study found that watching horror movies activates threat-response brain regions such as the amygdala (扁桃腺),
prefrontal cortex and insula as if the danger were real.
After this rush, many people experience an uplifted mood. One study examined how 262 adults felt before and
after they entered an extreme haunted house. 39 Brain recordings before and after showed that those
whose mood improved had a smaller neural response to subsequent stressors, which is associated with the
post-haunt high.

B．Fifty percent of people said they felt better after the visit.
C．And recreational fear, as it is rightly named, could benefit us, too.
D．Playing with fear helps us learn what our body does under pressure.
E．Horror, though, is not the only genre of what people find scary fun, he said.
F．We define recreational fear broadly as a mixed emotional experience of fear and enjoyment.
G．Classic childhood games of tag and hide-and-seek are just like the real scenes of predator vs. prey.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
The Grand Canal is a vast waterway system in China, running from Beijing in the north to Zhejiang province
in the south. It stretches for nearly 3,200 kilometers and passes through eight of the country’s provinces and
municipalities.
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the canal is the longest and oldest artificial river in the world. It has
played an important role in ensuring China’s economic prosperity and stability, and is in use today as a major
means of transportation.
The Beijing section of the Grand Canal is 82 km long. Along it, cultural relics and sites on both banks are
important symbols of culture and are considered a top priority for protection by the local government.
The city government has unveiled two development plans: the first is an implementation plan for the
protection, inheritance and utilization of the canal’s cultural values; the second is a construction plan for building a
Grand Canal-themed national cultural park.
The plan sets up three implementation milestones in the next five years. In 2020, efforts have been made to lay
a firm foundation for the construction of the Grand Canal National Cultural Park, with the Tongzhou section of the
canal open to navigation and a management mechanism of the park established. By 2023, significant progress is
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：xygewx002expected to be made in coordinating the protection and utilization of cultural resources along the canal, with the
national cultural park basically set up. By 2025, the park will become a new cultural landmark in Beijing. The
Grand Canal, with its cultural resources put under protection and ecological conservation along its banks
significantly improved, will embrace improved cultural and tourism development. Cities along the canal by then
will welcome further coordinated or integrated development.
The Beijing section of the Grand Canal, a valued asset for the capital, is marked out as a river boasting rich
cultural resources, ecological value, social benefits and economic potential. The capital is set to roll out more
measures to bring out the best in the canal.
40．According to the passage, what roles has the Grand Canal played?
41．What does the Beijing government consider a top priority for protection along the Grand Canal?
42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
With its protected cultural resources and improved ecological conservation along its banks, the Grand
Canal will embrace improved cultural and industrial development.
43．There are many UNESCO World Heritage sites in China. What can we do to protect them?(In about 40 words)
