At one point along an open highway, I 20 crossroads with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by

My mother was never truly happy in Connecticut finding the winter bitter cold and the culture provincial (偏
狭的). Though she grew up in New Jersey, she moved to San Francisco in her early twenties, met and married my
dad out there. After I was born, they decided to return east, closer to their own parents. But she never let go of her
love for the Bay Area.
California was always part of the conversation when I was a kid. I ate meals off a map-of-the-world placemat
(餐垫), and Mom taught me to identify San Francisco before I learned where Hartford was. She told us stories of
perfection on a single city, fantasizing about retiring out west. My dad would play along, but his heart wasn’t in
the same place.
While my mother’s status in the nonprofit world advanced, her desire to move back to her favorite place
grew strong. She applied for jobs in the Bay, underwent bicoastal Skype screenings, even traveled out for a couple
of interviews on a whim (心血来潮). Sometimes her cover letters disappeared, other times she made it down to
the final two candidates. With each rejection, she promised to make her next job application even stronger.
This past May, I relocated from San Francisco to New York for a job. A few weeks later, Mom called me. Her
pursuit had finally paid off. She’s been offered a vice president position at a public health nonprofit in Oakland. A
few weeks later, she packed up her baggage and left Connecticut for good.
Our lives are more semblable than ever these days. We’re both discovering our new homes, making friends.
We’re looking for a good yoga studio to join, reading the same books and chatting about the plots by text
message. I emailed her photos from my trip to Burning Man and she replied with stories about her new coworkers
who go every year.
There’s even time for the occasional dating disaster.Perhaps that’s the paradox (悖论) of growing older. Things will always change, and they can change
immediately—my mother is proof. But an individual’s own power to create change always stays the same.
Everything can change, and therefore nothing ever really changes.
Now when I’m out west for a visit, Mom meets me at a station with her big bag. We stop by the Grand Lake
farmers market, picking out the freshest seasonal ingredients, before hiking up the hill to her new apartment. One
of these days, I’ll actually cook her dinner.

B．The author’s father didn’t want to live in California.
C．The author’s mother liked to use plates with map designs.
D．The author’s family preferred listening to stories of the west.

ChatGPT is a new AI system that sounds so human in conversations that it could host its own radio
试卷第页，共22页原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 6programs. Reading between its instantly generated, perfectly grammatical lines, people see different visions of the
future. Without doubt, ChatGPT is impressive.
Some compare the emergence of ChatGPT to the impact of the iPhone, but that doesn’t do it justice.
ChatGPT, as well as the generative AI that will follow and outsmart it, is more disruptive. And yet, that doesn’t
necessarily mean the end of the world is upon us. On the contrary, ChatGPT, I would argue, might serve to make
us more aware of our irreplaceable human qualities.
Take the creative act, writing in particular, as an example. If you want it to, the AI-powered chatbot always
produces something because it has the whole world of online data to draw from. But unlike us; it lacks the
consciousness. Thinking is hard, critical thinking even harder, and ChatGPT isn’t good at either. It just restates
what has already been said; it is one big recycling machine.
There is another obvious limitation of ChatGPT. Philosopher Harry Frankfurt once claimed: the difference
between a bullshitter (胡说八道的人) and a liar is that the liar knows what the truth is but decides to take the
opposite direction; a bullshitter, however, has no regard for the truth at all. The AI scholar Gary Marcus applies
this distinction to ChatGPT. He believes that we have reached a critical point where “the price of bullshit reaches
zero and people who want to spread misinformation, either politically or just to make a profit, start doing that
plentifully”. Unfortunately, ChatGPT will reproduce misinformation from any of its input sources — it is not an
intelligent system that tries to balance or weight different perspectives. In this sense, everything that ChatGPT
writes is bullshit.
This is why the so-called AIQ is critical. It is actually an extension and a measurement of our human IQ: our
overall knowledge of AI tools, our mastery of clues, and our ethical awareness. ChatGPT is going to change
everything and nothing.
Creativity, imagination and ethics — these will all remain unique human domains. It is the AI’s very
limitations that will make us appreciate our own.
46．What can we learn about ChatGPT?
A．It helps generate an artificial voice.
B．It provides instructions on writing skills.
C．It generates natural language responses.
D．It offers a service for language learning.
47．What does the underlined word “disruptive” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Evil.
B．Reliable.
C．Profitable.D．Revolutionary.
48．What’s the writing purpose of Paragraph 3?
A．To show the differences between humans and AI.
B．To describe the limitations of human consciousness.
C．To prove ChatGPT might make humans more aware of their irreplaceable human qualities.
D．To explain why ChatGPT isn’t a big recycling machine.
49．Why does the author consider ChatGPT as a bullshit generator?
A．It makes up lies constantly.
B．It can’t tell right from wrong.
C．It often makes unfair judgement.
D．It always takes a neutral standpoint.
50．Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．ChatGPT Makes Us Human
B．ChatGPT Is Causing Panic Now
C．ChatGPT: Treat It Like a Toy, Not a Tool
D．ChatGPT: Why It Is Bound to Generate Bullshit

Psychological science is full of interesting topics, many of which tell a coherent (连贯的) picture of human
nature, but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories. A case in point is the tricky, and misunderstood,
overlap (重叠部分) between strength-based science and the research on narcissism (自恋).
There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise, especially in our youth. Some
researchers say that about 25% of young people show symptoms of narcissism. The inflated ego of Generation Me
is reflected in reality TV, celebrity worship, and out-of-control consumerism.
We are correct to be concerned about this phenomenon, but our fear that all kids are potential narcissists has
caused an unhelpful counter-reaction to approaches that seek to make our children and teens feel good about
themselves.
In my own research on strength-based parenting, it is common for people to wrongly think this approach to
be the cause of narcissism. Their argument seems to be that a child who knows his strengths will automatically
view himself as better than everyone else. It is argued that the self-assurance that comes with identifying and
using their positive qualities will make a child selfish and uncaring. Genuine confidence about one’s strengths is
试卷第页，共22页原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 8categorized as over-confidence; desirable self-knowledge is branded as excessive (过分的) self-admiration.
Why does this occur? It’s partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths
psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals, research on narcissism has made its way into
the mass media and our daily life. A famous magazine noted that narcissism is a favored topic and that people
everywhere are diagnosing others with it.
The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because of our binary (非此即彼)
thinking. We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble. We focus on Donald Trump and
Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. Without confidence in their strengths, Gandhi
and Mother Teresa couldn’t have achieved so much, and yet modesty and selflessness are their qualities.
When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus, we fail to make the idea clear that people
who know their strengths are, actually, more likely to be pro-social and ready to help others.
It’s easy to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I’d like to stand up for the
thousands of young kids I have worked with, who are caring, thoughtful and humble — even when they use their
strengths.
51．Which of the following opinions may the writer agree with?
A．Strength-based parenting leads to narcissism.
B．It’s unhelpful for us to make our children feel good about themselves.
C．To say all kids are potential narcissists is overstating the case.
D．Children who know their strengths tend to be more selfish and uncaring.
52．Why are teenagers’ strengths often considered as narcissism according to Paragraph 5?
A．Academic journals report more on narcissism.
B．There is a lack of narcissism in our common sense.
C．Many people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors.
D．The general public has less access to strengths psychology.
53．Why does the author mention Gandi and Mother Teresa?
A．Because they are as famous as Donald Trump.
B．Because they are both confident and modest.
C．Because confidence is quite important for celebrities.
D．Because a strength-based approach will cause narcissism.
54．What’s the author’s attitude towards young kids’ strength-based approaches?
A．Favorable. B．Neutral. C．Disapproving. D．Doubtful.
55．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Teens’ Psychology Research B．Teens’ Narcissism Diagnosis
C．Teens’ Strength-based Approach D．Teens’ Confidence Misunderstood

第三部分：写作
第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
Ren Sainan chanced upon the funeral industry in 2019. With a degree in e-commerce, she joined an online
retailer that deals in funeral supplies after several failures in attempting to get a “normal” job upon graduation.
Encouraged by her family, colleagues and friends, Ren realized that what matters most is living for the
moment and working for what she loves. Putting aside the opinions of others, she began to model for new shrouds
(寿衣) for live-broadcasting as part of her daily job. Gradually, she found that working in the funeral industry is
meaningful and that everyone has a story.
One night during the Spring Festival, Ren received a call. A girl sobbed, asking whether she had a green
burial suit, as she was preparing for the funeral of her father who used to be a soldier at Jiayu Pass, safeguarding
China’s northwestern frontier. He had a deep affection for the color green.
Searching through piles of clothes at the warehouse, Ren failed to find the color. Moved by the daughter and
the father, she decided to make a green-colored suit along with a tailor at the company.
In the beginning, Ren was afraid of telling her mother about working as a model and designer for burial
clothes. “After I accepted myself in this job, I talked about it with my mother. Her first reaction was ‘you should
resign,’” Ren said. She made a trip home in Pingdingshan, a two-hour drive from Zhengzhou where she works, in
hope to impress her mother with various products. “She softened her tone as these designs upended her
perception of saying goodbye to the world,” she said.
In traditional Chinese culture, the discussion of death is taboo (禁忌的), and the shrouds, along with other
funeral supplies, are things people avoided talking about in daily life. And even with good employment
opportunities, people were reluctant to work as funeral directors.
As a shroud model, Ren’s presentation has changed people’s fixed images of the funeral supplies. While
amazed at the diverse and personalized development of the funeral industry, Chinese netizens have also expressed
试卷第页，共22页原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 10their admiration for Ren’s job.
Aging, sickness, and death are common states of life. It might be, in a sense, lucky to have an opportunity to
experience the range of human emotions from joy to grief, from despair to hope.
56．Why did Ren Sainan choose a job in the funeral industry? (no more than 8 words)
57．What is the top concern of Ren Sainan in her life? (no more than 10 words)
58．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 5 probably mean? (1 word)
59．Why are few people willing to work as funeral directors? (no more than 10 words)
60．What do you think of Ren Sainan? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
