Here we are, wrapping up 2023 in a red bow like one of the holiday presents in a
TV commercial. It was a year full of poetic discoveries for our editorial team and espe-
cially for me. I encountered so many new-to-me poets. Diana Solis from the December 2022
issue and Joyce Mansour from the June 2023 issue are examples of this: poets with whom I
was unfamiliar and who have now become part of my daily conversation. Living in
Chicago, I might have encountered Diana Solis some other way. She is an icon of revolu-
tionary poetry and photography. What a gift to learn, to be enthusiastic about new poetics
like I'm still in the front row of the classroom, trying to do my best.
Two truths I've learned about Chicago since moving here: Chicago is a city that holds
things close and doesn't need to show off about its riches. And there are riches everywhere
-great music all over the place, the best pizza, an embarrassment of architectures, and, of
course, poetry on every corner. Nelson Algren said every great writer must spend time in
Chicago.
The final version of 2023 is from a distinguished Chicagoan, the poet and journalist
Frank Marshall Davis. When I read his work for the first time, I was struck by the truth
of the poems, his clear-eyed critique （批评）. He was a truth teller when no one wanted
to listen. This issue also includes poems of another Chicago great, Li-Young Lee. His po-
ems taught me how to think about romance as an engine for a poem. Multiple generations of
poets have been using the man's gestures in their love poems, often without realizing it,
because even their teachers were borrowing from Li-Young Lee too.
So maybe that is why this issue has me in my holiday feels. Poems can be for the
poet and the community concurrently, an offering of the self that indicates the care of the
giver.
24. What is the occupation of the author?
A. A magazine editor. B. A news reporter.
C. A blog writer. D. A Chicagoan poet.
25. What does the author think of the year 2023?
A. Everything was new in this year. B. It was a year of poetry revolution-
ary.
3 / 11
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. New poets led the way in this year. D. It was a year of discovery and
learning.
26. What impresses the author most about Chicago?
A. The great art everywhere. B. Its multicultural atmosphere.
C. The economic development. D. Its hidden music and poems.
27. Why does the author mention poets Frank Marshall Davis and Li-Young Lee?
A. To set examples for young poets.
B. To show the great impact of poems.
C. To promote their unique writing technique.
D. To emphasize the importance of poetry reading.
C
A wild African bird that will lead people to trees with honeycomb（蜂巢） seems to
somehow learn the distinct whistles and calls of the human foragers（觅食者） who live
near them.
This bird species has far more information about what the bees are doing than humans
ever could. In Tanzania, Hadza foragers can use a special whistle to attract this bird, which
will then fly down and start leading them to honey. With its noisy chattering sound, the
bird is very conspicuous. Once the bird arrives at a tree with honey inside, it will rest
near the beehive silently, seemingly not to disturb the bees. "That's the signal to the Hadza
to really start searching, "says Brian Wood, an anthropologist at University of California,
Los Angeles. Pretty soon, the foragers will locate the hive and cut open the tree trunk.
It is found that the birds are more likely to show up when the familiar signal used by
the locals is being broadcast. According to the research, the birds appear 82% of the time
when Hadza whistles are being played. But they appear only 24% of the time when the
researchers play the whistles traditionally used in a different country.
This makes it clear that the birds have learned what their human neighbors do when
they want to partner up and go honey-hunting. "This is a very strong result which supports
the idea that there's a learning process involved, " says Wood.
But how do the birds learn? It's still unclear. What is clear is that this human-animal
communication seems to benefit both parties, and it may go back many thousands of years.
4 / 11
学科网（北京）股份有限公司When the honeycomb is out, the birds get some of the beeswax, which they love to eat.
And the human foragers get the honey -which is an enormously important food for the
Hadza. Wood has calculated that the Hadza get about 10% of the calories in their annual
diet with the help of the birds.
28. What does the underlined word "conspicuous" in Para. 2 mean?
A. Eye-catching. B. Care-free. C. Naughty. D. Attractive.
29. What can we know about the birds?
A. They are raised by humans. B. They help cut open the tree trunk.
C. They feed on honey as their annual diet. D. They can distinguish different whis-
tles.
30. Which of the following can best describe the honey gathering?
A. A complex dilemma. B. An unfair trade.
C. A double-edged sword. D. A win-win cooperation.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The familiar signal in the forest.
B. A talented expert in hunting the bees.
C. A wonderful guide to collecting honey.
D. The human-animal communication in Tanzania.

The integration of artificial intelligence （AI） in educational technology has brought
convenience and efficiency to classrooms worldwide. However, despite these advancements,
it is crucial to recognize the significant challenges it poses to the autonomy and profes-
sional judgment of instructors. One of the primary concerns associated with AI-driven tools in
education is the depersonalization of instruction. These tools often rely on pre-packaged dig-
ital content and standardized solutions, leaving little room for instructors to tailor their
teaching methods.
Each student possesses unique characteristics, including distinct learning styles,
strengths, and weaknesses. Instructors, armed with their wealth of experience and expertise,
are best positioned to customize their approaches to meet these individual needs. They
know how to adapt to their students' varying learning styles. However, AI-driven platforms
5 / 11
学科网（北京）股份有限公司restrict their ability to do so effectively, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to
engage and inspire students to reach their maximum potential.
The implications of this depersonalization are far-reaching. By diminishing（降低） the
role of instructors as facilitators of meaningful educational interactions, we run the risk of
preventing the growth of critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students.
Education should not merely focus on knowledge acquisition （习得）， but should
also develop the ability to analyze, evaluate, and apply that knowledge in real-world con-
texts. It should help one's mind grow, not simply possess information. Through dynamic
classroom discussions, cooperative projects, and hands-on activities, instructors play a vital
role in cultivating these essential skills. AI-driven platforms, with their standardized solu-
tions and automated features, are ill-equipped to provide the same level of engagement and
intellectual stimulation as human instructors. While AI-driven platforms undeniably have their
advantages, we must not lose sight of the importance of preserving instructors' autonomy and
the educational experience they provide.
32. Why do AI-driven tools fail to help instructors adjust their teaching methods?
A. Their solutions will be challenged
B. They don't have professional judgement.
C. Their digital content is set previously.
D. They think little of the students' autonomy.
33. What advantage do instructors have over AI-driven tools?
A. They are more professional. B. They can satisfy individual needs.
C. They have higher efficiency. D. They adopt one-size-fits-all ap-
proach.
34. In which aspect does depersonalization in education influence on students?
A. Their response in classroom discussions. B. Their ability in solving real life
problems.
C. Their willingness to cooperate with others. D. Their adaptability to various learning
styles.
35. What should education focus on apart from knowledge acquisition?
A. Doing cooperative projects. B. Organizing hands-on activities.
6 / 11
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. Developing thinking ability. D. Evaluating students' development.

The Decluttering Philosophy That Keeps Your Home Organized
When you sit at your desk, you may constantly be confronted by chaos. 36
Here an expert shares about some useful strategies to keep our messes at bay and her de-
cluttering philosophy -getting rid of unnecessary possessions and distractions.
37 "What becomes clutter and where your clutter collects can say a lot about
what's going on with you. "Thus the first thing you should keep in mind is to understand
your clutter. When you understand the reasons behind your clutter, it's a lot easier to know
what to keep and what to get rid of.
When it comes to organizing, don't bite off more than you can chew. If you start off
with too big a goal, you might get discouraged if the job takes too long. 38 In-
stead, start with something less challenging. You can also work within short time restric-
tions. All in all, setting realistic goals and breaking tasks up into manageable portions can
really help.
Once you've chosen an area to declutter, make a list of everything you have in that
space. Then comes the hardest part: figuring out what to get rid of. At this stage, please
look at your items with neutral eyes. 3 9 .
Admittedly, it's easy to be organized the day after decluttering, when tidiness is still
top of mind. But what happens when you come home from a trip and are too tired to un-
pack your luggage? Or when you get the flu and are too sick to clean up? 40 . In
other words, make a system that works for you even when you've got to work or when
you've got a cold.
A. Everyone's clutter tells a personal story.
B. So don't restore your entire garage in one afternoon.
C. The key is to create practices that can be easily maintained.
D. It can help you let go of things you don't need but feel attached.
E. Comparatively speaking, the job taking shorter time will be easier to finish.
7 / 11
学科网（北京）股份有限公司F. At this time you may wonder how to clean up your space and keep it that way.
G. If you are worried about these situations, you can delay your decluttering schedule.

An Outdoor Trip That Speaks Louder Than A Regular Class
One day, as Jack, a science teacher, stressed the pressing need for protecting Tangerine
Darters, a kind of fish, students in his class seemed uninterested and bored. Jack continued,
but his students showed little enthusiasm.
He paused for a moment, allowing the silence to settle in the classroom. Then he
went on in a different way.
"Imagine, " Jack began, his voice filled with passion, "the feeling of wading（趟水）
through the clear shallow waters of Pigeon River, surrounded by the gentle sunlight. Picture
the colors of the Tangerine Darters as they gracefully swim through the currents, their or-
ange bellies （肚子） shining like rays of sunshine, or in that moment, a Tangerine Darter
in your hands, its orange belly shining in the sunlight. "He painted a vivid picture with his
words. Curiosity lit in his students' eyes as they bent forward, eager to know more.
10 / 11
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Jack continued, "The darters are very picky about their habitats. The place where they
live should be very clean, and slight pollution could drive them away or even endanger
their very existence. "
As Jack spoke, his passion spread quickly among his students, who started to ask
questions, wanting to know more about the Tangerine Darters. Inspired by their newfound
interest, Jack had an idea. Why not take students to the Pigeon River, where they can wit-
ness the beauty of the Tangerine Darters firsthand?
A week later, they were on the trip to the Pigeon River in Canton, North Carolina,
where the environment was well preserved in comparison with other industrial areas.
Sunshine bounced off the Pigeon River, and cool water flowed over rocks and boul-
ders （卵石） ---the preferred habitat of Tangerine Darters. With Jack, it was the first time
that the students had stood in the shallow water, eager to see their target of this fish ecol-
ogy class field trip.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, Jack bent and quickly caught a fish.
Seeing the students' interested looks, Jack raised a question.
