Since the creation of animated (

) motion pictures, the use of actors supplying

voices ____21____(be) invaluable. Behind every famous cartoon character’s personality is

in unrecognizable ways. For some of these performers, the voices they’ve provided have far

surpassed them as people in both recognizability and adoration.

Mel Blanc, known as “The Man of Thousand Voices”, ____23____ (regard) as the most

试卷第3页，共14页

prolific actor to ever work in Hollywood with over a thousand screen credits. He developed

and performed nearly 400 distinct character voices. Whether in legendary shorts or

lesser-known commercials, Mel Blanc walked so the voice actors of today ____24____ run.

Mel Blanc lent his voice to many classic characters, but the one he is best known for is

Bugs Bunny. There is little that can be said about Bugs’ impact ____25____ hasn’t already

been said for decades. The character is ____26____ helped launch Warner Bros. animation

into the mainstream. Bugs was even the face of Warner Bros. Family Entertainment,

appearing at the beginning of many films. ____27____ a character may not talk, that doesn’t

mean a fair bit of voice acting isn’t involved. Mel provided the various noises of the beloved

pet dinosaur, Dino, in The Flintstones. While obviously not as quotable as his caveman

companions, every fan knows the excited bark of Dino when he sees his master, Fred, arrive

home. In January 1961, at the age of 52, Blanc was severely injured in a car accident and had

to tape his part at home with a microphone ____28____ (suspend) over his bed.

Mel Blanc paved the way for voice acting as a true art, though it’s a skill that often goes

unrecognized when praise is focused on movies and TV. The characters we all love wouldn’t

OpenAI releases “not fully reliable” tool to detect AI generated content

ChatGPT has

been creating waves across the internet with its writing ability and responses to requests. The

use of ChatGPT has been full of ____31____ . There have been concerns that students can

use this tool to ____32____ AI-generated work and claim it as their own.

OpenAI, the research laboratory behind ChatGPT, has released a tool designed to

试卷第4页，共14页

____33____ whether text has been written by artificial intelligence, but warns it’s not

completely reliable – yet. In a blog post on Tuesday, OpenAI linked to a new ____34____

tool that has been trained to distinguish between text written by a human and that written by a

variety of AI, not just ChatGPT.

The tool could be useful in cases where AI was used for “____35____ dishonesty” and

when AI chatbots were positioned as humans, they said. But they admitted the tool “is not

fully reliable” and only correctly identified 26% of AI-written English texts. It also

incorrectly ____36____ human-written texts as probably written by AI tools 9% of the time.

“Our classifier’s reliability ____37____ improves as the length of the input text

increases. Compared to our ____38____ released classifier, this new classifier is significantly

more reliable on text from more recent AI systems.”

Since ChatGPT was opened up to public____39____, it has given rise to a wave of

concern among educational institutions across the world that it could lead to cheating in

exams or assessments. Lecturers in the UK are being urged to review the way in which their

courses were _____40_____, while some universities have banned the technology entirely

and returned to pen-and-paper exams to stop students using AI.

六、完形填空

Have you ever had a song stuck in your head and, no matter how hard you tried, you

could not get rid of it? The song played on and on, whether you were loading the dishwasher,

weaving in and out of traffic, or attempting to ____41____ your mind at the start of yoga

class.

Having a song stuck in one’s head, known as an earworm, is an experience that over 90%

of us have on a ____42____ basis. We’re more likely to catch an earworm after we stop

focusing, in moments when the working memory is ____43____, when we’re relaxed, when

work is finished or when we’re a bit sleepy.

Certain songs are ____44____ than others, and so more likely to “auto repeat” in your

head. There are certain musical characteristics that make songs more likely to become

earworms, such as if the piece is repetitive, if there is a longer duration of certain notes, if

____45____ between the notes are smaller. ____46____, we know that mood can have an

impact, with some people reporting that they always get the same earworm when they feel

试卷第5页，共14页

good, or people experiencing a fast-tempo earworm when they are ____47____. And of

course familiarity with a song is a key ____48____. Songs that you don’t know very well are

less likely to pop up as earworms.

If you’ve had enough of your earworm and need to stop it in its tracks, you would be

well warned not to try to block the song out, but rather to ____49____ accept it. A determined

effort to block the song out may result in the very _____50_____ of what you want.

According to psychologist Daniel Wegner, _____51_____ the song may make your brain

keep playing it over and over again. To get rid of an earworm, you may be best served by

simply _____52_____ it, accepting it, and leaving it alone to let this phenomenon ends up

weakening itself little by little.

Some people try to _____53_____ themselves from the song, and it works. You can try

reading a book, listening to a different song or even playing an instrument. Others

_____54_____ the tune in question, because it is commonly believed that earworms occur

when you remember only part of a song; hearing the entire song may stop it. Neurologists (

神

经学家

) point out that it’s recommendable to chew gum to reduce the _____55_____ of an

earworm because jaw movement interferes with musical memory. However, it’s important to

note that this phenomenon usually lasts less than 24 hours.

七、阅读理解

Andy smiled as he and his field day team stepped up to their last activity. They were in

first place, and Andy could already feel the medal around his neck.

“How exciting!” Mrs. Emory said. “You two teams are tied with the highest score of the

day.”

“Tied?” Andy said. “But we beat them at the relay race.”

“Yes, but that was their only loss,” Mrs. Emory said. “Your team also has one loss, so

you are both tied for first place.”

Andy crossed his arms in front of his chest. He didn’t want to think about the balloon

toss (

抛

). He’d been the first one to drop his balloon.

“This event is a hula hoop(

呼啦圈

) challenge,” Mrs. Emory said, handing everyone a

hula hoop.

“Are we supposed to see how far we can roll them?” Andy asked. “No. Your challenge is

to hula hoop for as long as possible. Once your hoop hits the ground, you will be disqualified.

The last person hula hooping will win the event for their team.”

Andy’s eyes widened. He’d never hula hooped before. He looked at the rest of his team.

Becky seemed confident and so did Cory. They only needed one person to do well in order to

win.

“Can we start?” asked Rachelle, the other team’s captain. She must have done this before

because she was excited about the challenge.

Mrs. Emory blew her whistle. “Begin!” Andy watched Rachelle and mimicked

everything she did. But no matter how hard he tried, the hoop wouldn’t stay up. It dropped

and fell to his ankles. He stepped aside and cheered for Becky and Cory who were the only

ones left to battle Rachelle.

Becky sneezed and her hoop fell to the ground. Andy grumbled, but he started cheering

even louder for Cory. Andy stared at Rachelle. She looked so relaxed. Her team was chanting

her name, and it took Andy a moment to realize Cory had dropped his hoop.

The challenge was over, and Rachelle had won, which meant Andy’s team had lost. But

Andy couldn’t help cheering for Rachelle as she continued to hula hoop. Rachelle was still

hula hooping when Mrs. Emory gave out the medals. Andy wore his second-place medal with
