一、阅读理解

It may be really difficult to learn a language well without living in a country full of

native speakers! You have to find something interesting! Here’s a way: TV Series.

Game of ThronesYou should really start watching it. The language is beautiful and easy

to understand. Love and good characters appear in the show and there are actors from all over

the globe. You won’t know what’s to go on at the ending. This is a must-see!

SherlockA British famous work. Is there any language learner who has not heard of

Sherlock Holmes and his friend John Watson? The writers set the stories into London in the

21st century, so it’s a modern version (版本) of the original stories. Here you have everything

that an English language learner could wish for: British accents (口音), good acting, long and

interesting conversations with a lot of humour.

FriendsEverybody knows Friends, which couldn’t be missed off of this list. With many

different accents to be heard and lots of dialects (方言), this is the perfect show for English

learners. The story is simple to understand. Six friends fight with hard jobs, relationships and

life in New York. In parts of the show there are also British accents to listen to and learn.

How I Met Your MotherIt is one of the most successful plays in the United States,

attracting the audience all around the world. It’s about the life of five friends that live in New

York, focusing on their work and their favorite free time activity: sitting in their favorite bar.

You get to know many modern American expressions and can enjoy a lot of dialects that

make the show even more interesting.

When I lived in Hanoi, sometimes an elderly woman would hold my arm so that I could

help her cross the street. It was not because she was too weak—but because she was afraid of

the traffic. I am now one of those elderly women who fear street crossings.

In many cities around the world, elderly people actually cannot cross the road because

the timing on crossing signals is too short. At least we don’t have that problem here for the

absence of functional traffic lights. On many mornings, I would watch many

people—including or especially the elderly—crossing the road so that they could walk along

the lake. The road was fairly empty, which meant that drivers sped along so fast that they

could easily have killed someone on foot. But somehow, the right of drivers to speed is

considered more important than the right of the elderly to move about safely. “Learn to deal

with the risk or stay off the streets” seems to be the truth.

“Why did the chicken cross the road?”

“Because it was still young enough to do so safely!” The more I think about cities, the

more I see how they have become places for the young and able-bodied. Small children, the

elderly, and people with disabilities is unwelcome.

Nor is it just about the scary roads. Many of our trips are within the neighborhood;

elderly people specially need social contact and will die early if they are socially lonely. We

need to ensure that there are attractive outdoor public spaces in each neighborhood where the

elderly can gather, and that they can reach these places safely on foot. There is also the

possibility for the elderly to ride bicycles. Buses, too, need to be dealt with. How easy on

earth is it for an elderly to get on and off a bus here?

We can’t allow our cities to become fast-paced and terrifying places, where people not

only fear injury and death, but often find their fears becoming a reality. We could do much

better for our elderly-and then benefit everyone else in the process.

4．What caused the elderly’s fear for crossing the road?

A．Little safety attention to the elderly.

试卷第2页，共9页

B．The body condition of the elderly.

C．The absence of clear traffic signals.

D．Roads crowded with many passers-by.

6．What can we infer from the last but one paragraph?

A．Riding bikes is the elderly’s favourite.

B．Public transportation needs improving.

C．Outdoor spaces for the elderly are well-made.

D．The elderly’s early death results from loneliness.

7．What is the text mainly about?

A．Elderly loneliness in society.

C．Safety problem with the elderly.

A 19-foot Burmese python-the longest snake ever recorded—was caught by local

hunters in South Florida’s National Preserve this week. To put the catch into view, the snake

is as long as an adult giraffe is tall.

It was caught on Monday by 22-year-old Jake Waleri, who brought the python to the

Conservancy of Southwest Florida in his hometown of Naples. Officials there measured the

snake at 19 feet and 125 pounds, and said it set a new world record for length.

A video of Waleri’s record-breaking catch shows the python attacked Waleri as he pulls

the snake by its tail. Waleri and the snake fought on the ground until others joined in to help.

Burmese pythons are one of the largest snakes on the planet. They’re also a species running

uncontrollably through much of southern Florida. They’re threatening (威胁) the state’s

native animal populations because they have no natural enemy, which is why Waleri spends

his nights hunting them. “It’s surprising to be able to have an effect on South Florida’s

environment,” he said. “We love this ecosystem and try to protect it as much as possible.”

The earlier record was set in 2020 by a python caught in the Everglades, 18 feet 9 inches

long and 104 pounds heavy. The record for the heaviest python ever caught was set by one

B．Elderly view on road planning.

D．Forgotten elderly on the road.

caught in 2022, at 215 pounds.

According to the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission, these pythons have such a

big threat that hunters and local people don’t need a permit to kill them. The animals are,

however, protected by anti-cruelty (反残暴) laws, which ask hunters to humanely kill the

snakes. Burmese pythons feed on Florida wildlife big and small, from rabbits to foxes and

white-tailed deer. And one video from 2022 shows Florida scientists removing a 5-foot-long

crocodile from an 18-foot python.

The state hosts a yearly competition to keep the populations at bay. The competition

attracts hunters, competing for prize money from $1,000 to $10,000.

8．Why does the author mention an adult giraffe in Paragraph 1?

A．To explain a fact.

C．To introduce a topic.

B．To prove a view.

D．To show a problem.

9．What can we learn about the 19-foot Burmese python?

A．It was at peace with native animals.

B．It was attacking and difficult to catch.

C．It was the biggest snake ever recorded.

D．It was caught in Naples of South Florida

10．What do we know from paragraph 5?

A．Pythons are in great need of protection.

B．Pythons threaten hunters and local people.

C．Pythons have a wide range of food options.

D．Pythons are not allowed to be killed by law.

11．What does the underlined words “keep the populations at bay” in Paragraph 6 mean?

A．Control the number of pythons.

C．Limit the food supply of pythons.

Scientists have developed an AI system focused on translating a person’s brain activity

into a stream of text, according to a study published Monday in the journal Nature. The

system, called a semantic decoder (解码器), could finally benefit patients who have lost their

ability to physically communicate after suffering from a stroke or other diseases.

Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin developed the system in part by using a

model, which is similar to those of Google’s chatbot Bard and OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT.

试卷第4页，共9页

B．Keep the living space of pythons.

D．Protect the population of pythons.

The study’s participants (参加者) trained the decoder by listening to several hours of

podcasts within an FMRI scanner (扫描仪), which is a large machine that measures brain

activity. Once the AI system is trained, it can make a stream of text when the participant is

listening to or imagines telling a new story. The text is not an exact copy, but the researchers

designed it by catching general thoughts or ideas.

According to a news release, the trained system produces text that closely matches the

meaning of the participant’s words around half of the time. For example, when a participant

heard the words “I don’t have my driver’s permit yet” during an experiment, the thoughts

were translated to, “She has not even started to learn to drive yet”.

“This is a real improvement compared to the system before, which is only single words

or short sentences,” Alexander Huth, one of the leaders of the study, said. “We’re getting the

model to decode continuous language with rich ideas.” Participants were also asked to watch

four videos without sound while in the scanner, and the AI system was able to exactly

describe “certain events” from them, the news said.

12．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?

A．The produced text is quite a detailed one.

B．The system is the same as that of chatbots.

C．fMRI scanner controls the whole decoding work.

D．The system can help those with body disabilities.

13．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The decoder’s training method.

B．The valuable effect of the decoder.

C．The working process of the decoder.

D．The decoder’s similarities to chatbots.

14．Which is an advantage of the method over the earlier one?

A．It can be operated outside of a scanner.

B．It can decode long meaningful sentences.

C．It can translate people’s thoughts completely.

D．It can make people watch videos without sound.

15．What does the author think of the future of the new system?

A．It is uncertain. B．It is hopeless.

C．It is promising. D．It is perfect.

二、七选五

Everyone has bad days at work or studies. For example, you had an unexpected trouble

with a project you had been working on for weeks. 16 Or you forgot to attend an

important meeting on time and missed a good chance. Whatever the reason for your problem,

the result is to make you feel more stressed and alone.

17 According to a research, practicing gratitude can help make you happier. The

next time you’re feeling troubled by a problem, take a minute and think of someone in your

life that you’re grateful for. 18

Why will that make you feel better? Gratitude is often a feeling when someone else does

something helpful for you that they don’t need to do. 19 It might be a relative who

took care of you when you were little, a guide teacher who helped you out, or a workmate

who offered you a great chance.

Remember those people who helped you, and knowing why you’re grateful to them has

two good points. For one, it gets you to think about something wonderful, which can cheer

you up. 20

A．In those moments, a little gratitude can help.

B．You felt as if only reading could relax yourself.

C．All of us have people in our lives who are helpful.

D．You are shouted at rudely by your partners in a discussion.

E．Then write a sentence or two about why you feel thankful.

F．There’s a reason gratitude is always showing up on tea bags and in self-help books.

G．It also makes you get on well with others so that you don’t feel quite alone anymore.
