（2023上·高三上海市南洋模范中学校考）Have you ever been embarrassed because you forgot something
important? What kinds of things do you have the most trouble 21 (remember)?Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the audience, but then paused in horror. He had forgotten her
name.
Barbara hid her jewelry when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn’t remember 22
she’s put it.
Perhaps you have had experiences like these. Most people have. And, what’s more, most people 23
(bow) to a life of forgetting. They are unaware of a simple but important fact: Memory can be developed. If you
will just accept that fact, this book will show you 24 it can be improved.
First, relax. If you are overanxious about remembering something, you will forget it. Relaxing will enhance
your awareness and ability to concentrate. You can’t remember anything 25 you can concentrate.
Second, avoid being negative. If you keep telling 26 that your memory is bad, your mind will come
to believe it and you won’t remembers things. When you forget something, don’t say," Gee, I need to have my brain
27 (rewire).” Instead, you need to take an active role.
28 your body, your memory can be strengthened strong exercised. Look for opportunities to exercise
your memory. For example, if you are learning a language, try to actively remember irregular verbs.
You may also want to make associations, or links, between 29 you are trying to remember and things
you already know. For example, if you need to catch a plane at 2:00 p.m., you can imagine a plane in your mind
and notice that it has two wings. Two wings = 2:00. You are now ten times 30 (likely) to remember the
rake-off time.

A．claimed B．evacuate C． fabrics D．regular E. significantly F. sink
G. rainstorms H. similar I. initially J. swallowing K. thought
“It was a wave of water,” says Oulimata Sambe. She points out the still-sodden(湿透的) armchairs, muddy
wardrobe and the water stain a metre and a half up the wall in her small house in Ngor, a fishing village within
Dakar, the capital of Senegal. “I had two grandkids on my bed, I had to 31 them out of the window,” she
adds. Not faraway, underpasses on Dakar’s scenic corniche(滨海路) became car- 32 lakes. Just weeks earlier
another downpour had turned quiet streets in Dakar into raging rivers and collapsed a section of motorway.
33 events regularly occur across the region. Recent flooding and landslides also killed eight people in
Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone. In June flooding killed 12 people in Abidjan, the commercial capital of Ivory
Coast. Floods in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital, 34 another seven lives. Even when they are not
deadly, city floods ruin lives and livelihoods. Storm water recently flooded the biggest textile(纺织业) market in
Kano, a city in northern Nigeria, destroying hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of 35 .Unusually heavy rains have become 36 more common over the past 30 years, leaving huge numbers of
people at risk. In places this is partly because of deforestation. A recent study by Christopher Taylor of the UK
Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, a research institute, and his coauthors found that afternoon 37 in
deforested parts of coastal west Africa happen twice as often compared with 30 years ago. Their frequency went up
by only about a third in places that kept their forests.
Yet 38 flooding of cities in west Africa is not only caused by heavier rain. Unplanned urbanization is
also to blame. As cities have grown, builders have thrown up concrete walls with little 39 about providing
drainage, making it harder for water to find a clear path to the sea. As ever larger areas have been paved over, there
has been less exposed soil into which water can gently 40 away. And as cites get more packed with new
arrivals, their few functioning drains get overwhelmed or clogged.

III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D.
Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context
（2023上·上海·高三上海交大附中校考期中）History suggests that societies generally overestimate the
short-term implications of new technologies while underestimating longer-term ones. Current experience with
artificial intelligence — the technology enabled by machine-learning — suggests we are getting it 41 this
time. There’s too much talk about the potential “ 42 risk” to humanity posed by AI, and too little about our
experience of it so far and corporate plans for exploiting the technology.
Although AI has been hiding in plain sight for a decade, it took most people by surprise. The appearance of
ChatGPT last November signaled that the world had discovered a powerful new technology. Not for nothing is this
new “generative AI” called “ 43 ”: it provides the base on which the next wave of digital innovation will be
built.
It is also transformational in innumerable ways: it weakens centuries-old conceptions of intellectual property,
44 , and it has the potential radically to increase productivity, reshape industries, change the nature of some
kinds of work and so on. On top of that, though, it also raises troubling questions about the 45 of humansand their capabilities.
The continuing dispute between the Hollywood studios and screenwriters’ and actors’ unions perfectly
illustrates the 46 of the challenges posed by AI. Both groups are up in arms about the way online streaming
has reduced their earnings. But the writers also fear their role will be 47 simply to rewriting AI-generated
scripts; and actors are concerned that detailed digital scanning 48 by new movie contracts will allow
studios to create persuasive deepfakes of them that studios will be able to own and use “for the rest of eternity (永
久), in any project they want, with no permission and no compensation”.
So the key question for democracies is: how can we ensure AI is used for human flourishing 49
corporate gain? On this question, the news from 50 is not good. A recent study by two renowned
economists, Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson, of 1,000 years of technological progress shows that although
some benefits have usually trickled (流) down to the 51 , the rewards have — with one exception —
invariably gone to those who own and control the technology.
The “ 52 ” was a period in which democracies fostered countervailing powers (抵消力量) — civil-
society organisations, free media, activists, trade unions and other progressive, technically informed institutions
that supplied a steady flow of ideas about how technology could be repurposed for 53 rather than
exclusively for private profit. This is the lesson from history that societies confronted by the AI challenge need to
relearn.
There are some signs that governments may finally have realized the problem. The EU, for example, has an
ambitious and far-reaching AI Act that is making its way through the union’s processes. In the US, the Biden
administration recently published a “Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights”, which looks impressive but is 54
just a list of aspirations that some of the big tech companies claim to share.
It’s a start — provided governments don’t forget that leaving the implementation of powerful new
technologies solely to corporations is always a(n) 55 idea.
41．A．the other way round B．all the way back
C．one way or the other D．just in the way
42．A．economical B．existential C．economic D．commercial

“So the key question for democracies is: how can we ensure AI is used for human flourishing”以及“On this
question, the news from is not good.”可知，本来应是确保技术的进步为大众服务，但是历史上并不
是这样，所以只有一些好处通常流向了大众。故选B项。
52．考查名词词义辨析。句意：“例外”指的是民主国家培育对抗力量的时期——公民社会组织、自由媒
体、活动人士、工会和其他进步的、技术上知情的机构，这些机构源源不断地提供关于如何将技术重新用
于社会利益而非仅仅用于私人利润的想法。A. exception例外；B. reminder提醒；C. outcome结果；D.

Chinese Teapot Escaping from British Museum Goes Viral
Chinese state media has praised a viral video series telling the story of a jade teapot coming to life and fleeing
the British Museum to make its way back home.
The set of three short episodes, entitled Escape from the British Museum, shows the teapot turning into a
young woman in a green dress, who then engages a London-based Chinese journalist to help her reunite with her
family.
It appears to have struck a chord in China after first being released by independent vloggers on Douyin,
China’s equivalent to TikTok. By Monday evening, it had reportedly racked up more than 310 million views.
The plot line taps into growing Chinese criticism of the British Museum after reports last month that more
than 1,500 priceless objects, including gold jewelry, semi-precious stones and glass, were missing, stolen or
damaged.
In August the state media tabloid Global Times called for the return of Chinese artefacts from the museum
“free of charge” in the wake of the controversy.
“The huge loopholes in the management and security of cultural objects in the British Museum exposed by
this scandal have led to the collapse of a long-standing and widely circulated claim that ‘foreign cultural objects are
better protected in the British Museum’,” it said.
⑦It strongly supported the video series for touching on a “powerful message” about the importance of cultural
heritage and reflecting “Chinese people’s yearning for the repatriation of the Chinese cultural relics”.
In a further jibe at the museum, it interpreted the jade teapot’s surprise at the size of the journalist’s residence
as depicting the “casual attitude of the British Museum toward Chinese cultural relics, as many of them are
crammed into one cabinet for exhibition”.
State broadcaster CCTV also gave the short films a glowing review saying: “We are very pleased to see
Chinese young people are passionate about history and tradition… We are also looking forward to the early returnof Chinese artefacts that have been displaced overseas.”
The museum scandal made headlines around the world and revived earlier demands by the Chinese media to
restore the country’s relics.
The new three-part show has unleashed a wave of nationalism among viewers, with many praising the creative
plot that reduced them to tears by showing how the teapot experienced the happiness of returning to China to see
pandas and watch a flag-raising ceremony on Tiananmen Square.

【答案】56．C 57．C 58．D 59．B
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了关于一只逃跑的玉壶的短视频在网络迅速走红，并引起中国官
方媒体《环球时报》和中央电视台的报道和评价。
56．推理判断题。根据第六段中“The huge loopholes in the management and security of cultural objects in the
British Museum exposed by this scandal have led to the collapse of a long-standing and widely circulated claim
that ‘foreign cultural objects are better protected in the British Museum’ (这一丑闻暴露出大英博物馆在文物管理
和安全方面的巨大漏洞，导致长期以来广为流传的“外国文物在大英博物馆得到更好的保护”的说法破
灭。)”可推知，英国把其他国家的文物存放在自己的博物馆里的理由之一是，它声称这些文物在它的博物馆里更安全，能得到了更好的照顾。故选C项。
57．词句猜测题。根据上文可知，大英博物馆收藏了许多属于中国的文物，结合常识和划线词所在句
“Chinese people’s yearning for the repatriation of the Chinese cultural relics.(中国人民渴望中国文物的
repatriation。)”中“Chinese people’s yearning for”可推知，中国人民渴望着这些珍贵文物的“回归”。划线
词repatriation与return同义。故选C项。
58．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The museum scandal made headlines around the world and revived
earlier demands by the Chinese media to restore the country’s relics. (博物馆的丑闻成为世界各地的头条新闻，
并重新唤起了中国媒体早些时候要求归还中国文物的呼声。)”可知，这一次大英博物馆文物丢失和损坏的
丑闻重新唤起中国媒体要求归还中国文物的呼声。由此推知，在此之前中国已经要求大英博物馆。故选D
项。
59．推理判断题。通读全文，结合文章标题“Chinese Teapot Escaping from British Museum Goes Viral (从大
英博物馆逃跑的中国茶壶在社交媒体上走红)”和文中内容可知，本文主要介绍了关于一只逃跑的玉壶的短
视频在网络迅速走红，并引起中国官方媒体《环球时报》和中央电视台的报道和评价。所以“介绍一个关
于逃跑的玉壶的视频系列”是文章的写作目的。故选B项。

（2023上·上海·高三上海市延安中学校考期中）Scientific publishing has long been a license to print
money. Scientists need journals in which to publish their research, so they will supply the articles without monetary
reward. Other scientists perform the specialized work of peer review also for free, because it is a central element in
the acquisition of status and the production of scientific knowledge.
With the content of papers secured for free, the publisher needs only find a market for its journal. Until this
century, university libraries were not very price sensitive. Scientific publishers routinely report profit margins
approaching 40% on their operations, at a time when the rest of the publishing industry is in an existential crisis.
The Dutch giant Elsevier, which claims to publish 25% of the scientific papers produced in the world , made
profits of more than £900m last year, while UK universities alone spent more than £210m in 2016 to enable
researchers to access their own publicly funded research; both figures seem to rise unstoppably despite increasingly
desperate efforts to change them.
The most drastic, and thoroughly illegal, reaction has been the emergence of Sci-Hub, a kind of global
photocopier for scientific papers, set up in 2012, which now claims to offer access to every paywalled article
published since 2015. The success of Sci-Hub, which relies on researchers passing on copies they have themselves
legally accessed, shows the legal ecosystem has lost legitimacy among its users and must be transformed so that it
works for all participants.
In Britain the move towards open access publishing has been driven by funding bodies. In some ways it has
been very successful. More than half of all British scientific research is now published under open access terms:
either freely available from the moment of publication, or paywalled for a year or more so that the publishers can
make a profit before being placed on general release.
Yet the new system has not worked out any cheaper for the universities. Publishers have responded to the
demand that they make their product free to readers by charging their writers fees to cover the costs of preparing an
article. These range from around ￡500 to $5,000. A report last year pointed out that the costs both of subscriptionsand of these “article preparation costs” had been steadily rising at a rate above inflation. In some ways the scientific
publishing model resembles the economy of the social internet: labour is provided free in exchange for the hope of
status, while huge profits are made by a few big firms who run the market places. In both cases, we need a
rebalancing of power.
63．Scientific publishing is seen as “a license to print money” partly because________
A．its funding has enjoyed a steady increase. B．its marketing strategy has been successful.
C．its payment for peer review is reduced. D．its content acquisition costs nothing.
64．Which statement is true from Paragraphs 2 to 4?
A．Scientific publisher Elsevier have thrived mainly on university libraries.
B．Most scientific publishers gone through an existential crisis until this century.
C．Sci-Hub offers free access to paywalled articles published since 2015.
D．The researchers’ legally-accessed copies deny the legal ecosystem legitimacy.
65．It can be learned from Paragraphs 5 and 6 that open access terms________
A．allow publishers some room to make money. B．render publishing much easier for scientists.
C．reduce the cost of publication substantially. D．free universities from financial burdens.
66．Which of the following characteristics the scientific publishing model?
A．Trial subscription is offered. B．Labour triumphs over status.
C．Costs are well controlled. D．The few feed on the many.

A．Whether she was blessed with a good sense of language, the practice would motivate her.
B．By now she is redoing problems — how do I get characters into a room — dozens and dozens of times.
C．But it underlines a fact that is often neglected: public discussion is affected by genetics and what we’re

D．It’s not I.Q., a generally bad predictor of success, even in realms like chess.
E．This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self.
F．Researchers can safely draw the conclusion that she has internalized the skill of writing stories.
The latest research suggests a more prosaic, democratic, even puritanical view of the world. The key factor
separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not a divine spark. 67 Instead, it’s deliberate
practice. Top performers spend more hours rigorously practicing their craft.
If you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you’d take a girl who possessed a slightly above
average verbal ability, a talent just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would wanther to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally shared some similar biographical traits. Maybe the writer was from
the same town, had the same ethnic background, or, shared the same birthday.
68 It would give her some idea of a fascinating circle she might someday join and fuel a need for
success. Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give
her a primary knowledge of her field. She’d be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly perceive its
inner workings.
Then she would practice writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused. By practicing in
this way, she delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly learned skills into
unconscious, automatically performed skills. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream
of feedback, viewing her performance from the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to take on
tougher challenges. 69 She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon in order to understand or
solve future problems.
The primary trait she possesses is not some mysterious genius. It’s the ability to develop a purposeful,
laborious and boring practice routine. The latest research takes some of the magic out of great achievement. 70
And it’s true that genes play a role in our capabilities. But the brain is also very plastic. We construct ourselves

Obstacles to the correct decision
Life is full of choices, some inconsequential, some really significant. But sometimes it can be hard to make the
correct one. What are the obstacles that stand between us and a good outcome?
Some of us just find it hard to decide. Alice Boyes, writing for Harvard Business Review, tells us this can be
connected to perfectionism, where people attempt to find a perfect solution to any problem and are unable to move
forward when they can’t find one. It might seem that being indecisive would stop us making the right decision, but
in fact it could actually help us make the correct ones.
Susan Krauss in Psychology Today reminds us that people often make bad decisions because they base them
on preconceptions rather than the context in which things happen. She highlights a paper by researcher IrisSchneider which finds that indecisive people are more likely to look at different perspectives and use them to come
to a better decision. So, it could be that a more significant barrier to making the best choice is our cognitive biases.
David Robson tells us that intelligence can sometimes stop people making the right decision. People
sometimes use intelligence to invent justifications for irrational beliefs. He believes that humility is key to making a
good decision. People who can accept that they might be wrong are more likely to consider different viewpoints.
He is backed up on this by Jeff Bezos. Tech CEO Jason Fried recalls the Amazon founder saying how the people
who were right a lot of the time were the people who often changed their minds.
So, maybe rather than indecision, it might be intelligence and decisiveness, backed up by our biases that
actually stop us making good choices while humility and indecisiveness could help us pick the best option.

several questions on each of the conversation(s) and the passage(s). The conversation(s) and the passage(s) will be
read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following news.
NEW ZEALAND—About 125 Chinese tourists trapped in Kaikoura by a strong earthquake in New Zealand, have
been safely transferred to Christchurch by helicopters. Altogether 18 flights were made for the rescue.
The big earthquake and aftershocks struck the country’s South Island after midnight on Monday, killing two people.
More than 1,300 tourists, including the Chinese, were confirmed stranded in the tourist resort.
BRITAIN—The British government has issued a new visa policy that allows foreign students to stay six months
more after their course ends. They will not have to present proof of funds or education background certification.
The new plan will attract more students and at the same time allow time for them to apply for work visa. The new
rules apply only to students of some good universities.
CALIFORNIA—Singer Kanye West told the crowd at a concert in California Thursday that he did not vote in the
presidential election. But he told them if he had, he would have voted for Donald Trump.
West reportedly continued to talk for 40 minutes about his reasons for preferring Trump. The crowd, expecting to
hear songs instead of a political speech, was angry. Some even threw shoes.
On Friday, people reacted on social media to the singer’s comments. “Kanye” became the most popular topic on
Twitter.

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
“Is it snowing?” That’s the question my children often asked when we first moved to America. Growing up on a
warm island, we had a fantasy about a snowy winter wonderland. We imagined the falling snow or a family sitting
around their fireplace enjoying steaming hot chocolate. It seemed so pleasant. In reality, snow can be really messy.
I can understand why kids love snow. They get two hours, a half day or a whole day off from school. Then the
playtime begins. The kids build snowmen, slide down hills on snowboards or have snowball fights.
For adults, it’s not that much fun. Most cities and communities have special vehicles to remove the snow from the
streets. They also spread salt mixed with sand to prevent ice on sidewalks and roadways. But cleaning our own
driveway is such a bother. We have to remove the snow ourselves. If we don’t, the icy surface can be dangerous.
Despite these troubles, snow can also be exciting, especially if you love to ski. I remember when we went to
Colorado for a ski camp years ago. We started by attending a beginners’ class. We learned how to slide, stop, turn
and get up after a fall. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Questions:
14. Why does the speaker think children like snow?
15. What is it about snow that upsets the speaker?
16. What does the speaker think of their ski camp years ago?
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M: Wow! That’s a lot! How are you going to pay?
W: Easy. I’ll just use my credit card.
M: Really? But you go into debt each time you purchase.
W: It’s no big deal. I usually pay off my entire bill at the end of the month.
M: Glad you pay off each month, but many people don’t. Credit cards present a huge temptation to spend. It’s
easier to know how much you spend when using only cash.
W: Perhaps, but I also feel safer knowing I can use my card in an emergency.
M: I think it’s better to save money in an emergency fund. Then you don’t go into debt.
W: Yeah, emergency funds are important, but credit cards can be accessed more easily. And you don’t have to carryso much cash. That means your money is less likely to get stolen.
M: But what if your card gets stolen? That can be worse.
W: Not really. You can cancel your card. And the company covers most of the cost of things bought with a stolen
card. If cash gets stolen, it’s gone. Moreover, many cards offer rewards like store discounts or points.
M: Yes, they do give out points, but most people don’t use them.
W: Maybe. Well, I’m done. Let’s get in line at the check-out. And I’m going to use my credit card.
M: That’s your choice, but I’m sticking with cash.

17. Which of the following is a reason why the woman prefers a credit card?
18. What advantage does cash have according to the man?
