Rich variety exists in primates (灵长目动物). Monkeys roll on snowy Japanese mountains, gorillas chew fruit on
Sumatra, lemurs jump between trees in Madagascar, and the nakedapes—humans—walk proudly on two legs
worldwide. Scientists can now study the DNAdifferences beyond that diversity, thanks toa databank of genomes (基因
组) from233 species.
Tounderstand the good and bad of human evolution—both our extraordinary adaptationsand disease-causing
changes—scientists must compare the genomes of Homo sapiens (智人) toour closest evolutionary relatives, the
primates. But researchers investigating diverse topics, from contemporary genetic diseases to human origins, havelong faced a roadblock whenpursuing this approach: While genomic data exists from millions of people, most of the
500-plusprimate species never had their genomes read. So, in 2019, Tomàs Marquès-Bonet at theInstitute of
Evolutionary Biology, in Barcelona, Spain, and other biologists teamed up withdisease researchers at the company
Illumina, determined to obtain as many primate genomes aspossible.
Navigating wilderness and local permitting laws, the international researchers obtainedhundreds of blood
samples from wild and caged animals in South America, Africa, and Asia.Arranging DNA from these samples and
adding data from previous studies, the team built a bankof 809 genomes from individual baboons, gorillas, gibbons,
and more, representing nearly halfthe known primate species.
The data revealed insights about human origins and health, as well as primate conservation, published by more
than 100 scientists across 10 papers in Science and Science Advances in June2023. One study trained artificial
intelligence to search human genomes for DNA differenceslikely to cause disease, based on whether nonhuman
primates can live with those variants.According to Marquès-Bonet, “We now have a really good list of the foundations
of our species”and a“good idea of the kind of variations that are tolerated in any primate”—including humans.
28. What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A. Primates vary mainly in habitats.
B. Scientists focus on the diversity of primates.
C. There are 233 species of primates in the world.
D. Primate genomes are important for studying the DNA differences.
29. Why did the scientists build the databank of genomes?
A. To cure human’s various genetic diseases.
B. To help human adapt to the environment.
C. To investigate the process of human evolution.
D. To understand the strength and drawback of human evolution.
30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The reasons for building the databank.
B. The process of building the databank.
C. The impacts of building the databank.
D. The difficulties in building the databank.
31. What does Marquès-Bonet think of the databank?
A. It still needs to be improved.
B. It is of great value to future research.
C. It is of little help to future research.
D. It is unclear whether it’s of help to future research.
D
Generative Al must seem like a superweapon to people who aim to cause disagreement andargument online.
Deep-fake videos imitate public figures. Crowds of conversational chatbotsworsen conflict, and efforts to detect and
relieve such campaigns remain in their early period.
But can Generative AI also negotiate confict?Chris Bail, a leading expert on artificialintelligence and human
behavior, and his colleagues have conducted research indicating thatLarge Language Models such as ChatGPT canmake online conversations more productive, reduce incivility, and increase willingness to have difficult conversations
across socialdisagreements. What’s more, they’re already seeing practical applications. Inspired by suchresearch,
Nextdoor, a community-based social-media platform that has struggled to boycottonline poison, recently launched a
successful, large-scale (大规模的) effort to reduce incivility.
In a study recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, ChrisBail and his team
examined whether Large Language Models can teach peopleconflict-negotiation techniques on a large scale. They
enlisted a large group of people withdifferent opinions about gun control and paired them to discuss this topic with
someone whodoes not share their view on an online chat platform the team built.
After exchanging several messages on their platform, half of the research participants beganto receive pop-up
messages suggesting alternative phrasings for the messages they were about tosend to their chat partner. These pop-
ups employed GPT-3to rephrase each post using conflictnegotiation principles—without changing the opinion
expressed within them. Participants hadthe option to send these rephrased versions of their message or ignore them.
The researchers found that GPT-3 is surprisingly good at processing difficult conversations.People whose partner
used the AI-generated re-phrasings described the conversations as moreproductive, less stressful, and expressed
greater willingness toconsider alternative viewpoints.
32. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?
A. GenAI can be used in wars.
B. GenAI can stop online incivility.
C. GenAI can be used to deal with conflict online.
D. GenAI can make conversations more difficult.
33. What did Chris Bail’s team aim to do in a recent study?
A. To build their online chat platform.
B. To share ideas on their own platform.
C. To collect different ideas about gun control.
D. To test the function of Large Language Models.
34. How does GPT-3 help process difficult conversations?
A. By ignoring rephrased messages.
B. By making choices for the participants.
C. By changing the opinions of participants.
D. By expressing the messages in a different way.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. People Share Ideas on Gun Control
B. A New Study About Practical Applications
C. GenAI Cause Disagreement And Argument Online
D. GenAI Could Make Online Conversations More Civil

“Sai Baba! Sai Baba! Hahahaha!” Rani’s cheeks burned with shame and tears welled up inher eyes as she pushed
her way to the exit through the crowd of laughing boys in the packedschool bus. It wasn’t the first time she’d been
called Sai Baba, after the famous Hindu holy man she’d seen on TV with his trademark afro (非洲式卷发)
towering over his head. But this time was the worst. Rani jumped off the school bus and landed hard in the muddy
rainwater. It hadbeen a Friday full of disasters! Angry thoughts ran inside Rani’s head as she marched home inthe
drizzling rain. Why did the rain have to come pouring down so hard just at the end of theschool day? Why did she
have to forget her raincoat back home? Why did her hair have to belike a giant cotton candy balloon just when she
wanted it to behave? Why, why, why, Rani grewangrier as she turned the back door key.
“Rani, is that you?” Papa called from the family room.
“I hate my hair!” Rani cried as tears of anger and shame streamed down her cheeks.
“Why, your hair’s beautiful!”
“Then why does everyone make fun of it al the time? The boys teased me about my hair onthe bus ride back
home…” She paused and then tore at her hair and pulled out a couple of paperballs stuck in it. “Look, they even shot
paper balls at my hair.”
Papa went up to Rani, hugging her tightly in his arms. “Listen! Those boys are bullies.They did so only to get an
emotional response from you. What you need to do is either ignorethem or speak up for yourself.”
Rani nodded uncertainly, remembering the hours, days and weeks she had spent trying tobring her hair under
control. “Papa?” she murmured, “I don’t want to participate in the speechcompetition on Monday.”
“Why?”Papa sounded puzzled. ________________________________________________________________

Knowing that a series of activities themed Spreading Traditional Chinese Culture will be held in ourschool, I
can’t wait to propose two of my desired activities as follows.
One is the Poetry Festival, which offers opportunities for students to recite their favorite poems and feelthe
charm of classic Chinese poetry. The other is the Calligraphy Show, where students can have access tosome
masterpieces and create our own. As is known, Chinese poetry and calligraphy are unique art treasurein traditional
Chinese culture. Both of the activities will surely attract us students to get involved, thusinspiring our national pride
deep down.
Hopefully, my proposal will be taken into serious consideration.

“Why?”Papa sounded puzzled. “You’ve put your heart and soul into practicing for it all these pastmonths.”Yes,
Rani wanted to say. Instead, she murmured, “But my hair…”Seeing the sad expression on hisdaughter’s face, Papa
was quiet for several moments and finally said“It is not your hair that makes you whoyou are.”Papa slowed down,
touching her hair softly and gently, “You’re better and smarter than all of themput together. Go and show them who
you really are!”Hearing Papa’s words, Rani was filled with a surge ofstrength and courage.
The next Monday morning dawned bright and it was time for the competition. “Sai Baba, Rani!
Hahahaha!”waswhat Rani heard when she was approaching the stage for the speech. Different from what she used to
be, Rani threw back her shoulders and held her head high as she walked past the boys, leaving the boys in awebehind.
She stepped onto the stage and took her place. “Where the mind is without fear…”Rani started herspeech. Her voice
rang out strong and clear, her face shining and her eyes glittering. And right then, sheknew she’d won.
