第一节 (每小题2.5分,共11题,满分27.5分)
A
If you dream about working and meanwhile travelling in different countries, we've made a list of jobs that allow you to tour around the globe while earning some money!
A Travel Nurse
If you're in the medical field, becoming a travel nurse is a good option. A travel nurse in worldwide demand is well paid, so medical professionals can wear uniforms on any continent. The nursing assignments vary in the length of working time. You can enjoy accommodation payment and insurance benefits, but you have to work in the high-stress environment.
A Waiter
A waiter abroad is a popular choice for young travelers because some restaurants don't require much precious experience or qualifications, but they do not have access to high health insurance. Many people do service work for a while to earn enough money to travel abroad for the rest of the year. It's OK for those without family to deal with customers at night, but they can't get high wages.
An English Teacher
English is one of the world's most spoken languages, so there is always a demand for people who can teach it. Being an English teacher abroad often requires a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification. There are some popular destinations for prospective teachers. However, as teachers abroad, especially part-time teachers, their salaries are not high.
An Oil Industry Worker
Oil industry is one of the highest paying fields for both skilled and unskilled workers, with plenty of opportunities to travel whether they fulfill a position in exploration or production. You can be a researcher or an engineer on deep sea drilling rigs(钻塔). The job is well paid, and you can help companies do less harm to the sea.
21. What should travel nurses do
A. Assign nursing tasks. B. Get a TEFL certification.
C. Pay for their own accommodation. D. Develop a good anti-pressure ability.
22. What's the common feature of working as a waiter and an English teacher in traveling

Sarah was not an early riser. But what made the annoying early morning hours bearable was the comforting smell of fresh coffee floating in the air. Her favorite coffee shop was just a few minutes away from her apartment.
One sunny morning, Sarah rushed to get dressed. Having a job interview, she felt anxious, afraid to be late. She grabbed her car key, dashed out of the door and made her way to her familiar coffee shop as usual. As she joined the line of cars at the drive-through the smell of roasted coffee beans and the thought of the first taste of coffee were her little daily luxury. The line inched forward, and soon, Sarah found herself at the drive-through window. She reached for her purse to pay, but before she could hand over her credit card, the coffee shop assistant smiled and said, "Your coffee has been covered by the car ahead of you." Sarah was taken aback. "Really " she asked, feeling astonished and grateful. The assistant nodded. The unexpected act of kindness put a smile on her face, making her upcoming interview feel a little relaxing.
As she exited the drive-through, Sarah glanced in her rear view mirror(后视镜) at the next car approaching the coffee shop window. An idea began to come into her mind Maybe she could do the same and brighten someone else's morning. She decided to return to the coffee shop. Inside, she approached the cashier and said, "I'd like to pay for the coffee of the person in the car behind me." The assistant smiled and nodded again.
As Sarah eventually left the coffee shop, Sarah couldn't help but wonder how the next driver would react. A wave of satisfaction washed over Sarah as she witnessed the continuation of the coffee chain. She knew she had just initiated a chain of generosity and kindness.

In March, 2023, a group of computer scientists published an assessment of a new chatbot with artificial intelligence (AI). The team's report drew global attention to one test in particular: We have a book, nine eggs, a laptop, a bottle and a nail, and please tell me how to pile them onto each other in a stable manner. This is a tough puzzle. Earlier versions of the chatbot gave silly and unreasonable answers. But the new chatbot's unique answer helped set off the current global wave of AI advocacy and anxiety. It fueled debate about how large language models(LLMs) were able to perform creative tasks.
By 2022, LLMs were being trained on as many as 17 trillion words of human-generated text, mainly from the Internet. It was certain that the new chatbot was exposed to functional fixedness(功能固着) problems in its training. The researchers were of course aware of that and invented the "eggs and laptop" puzzle to prevent the new chatbot from dishonestly copying an answer from the Internet. LLMs used language statistics only. No one had said how to pile these nine eggs on top of each other ever before. The extreme rarity of those words would tend to prevent LLMs from talking about )八piling eggs in unrealistic ways. One of the researchers that tested the new chatbot thinks it's likely that an LLM trained on trillions of words creates a world model, and this is what gives it the "magical" extrapolation(外推) properties.
Are LLMs truly original or are they just plagiarists (剽窃者) The two statements may not be as different as they seem. There's nothing entirely new under the sun. Edison did not invent the light bulb but improved it. Most so-called creators apply knowledge from different fields to a problem and arrive at a solution. It's more a matter of making relevant connections than of inventing something completely new. If LLMs are indeed acquiring the ability to make relevant connections, that would be a historic but discomforting development.
28. What do we know about the new chatbot's answer to the puzzle in paragraph 1
A. It was silly. B. It set people thinking.
C. It drew little attention. D. It highlighted language innovation.
29. Why did the researchers invent the "eggs and laptop" puzzle
A. To copy online answers.
B. To stop the chatbot cheating.
C. To train humans to use language.
D. To expose the chatbot to functional problems.
30. What does the author convey in the last paragraph
A. How an invention came into being.
B. How Edison became successful in history.
C. Why Edison invented something entirely new.
D. Why an invention required effort and opportunity.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Will Robots Replace Humans
B. Can Robots Develop Smoothly
C. Can AI Come Up With Anything Original
D. Will AI Solve Magical And Difficult Problems
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Your alarm goes off on January 1. You force yourself out of bed and drag your feet toward the bathroom, where you glimpse a pale-faced stranger in the mirror. 32 . After a moment, however, you think, "Wait, it's okay because today is New Year's Day; there's time to get back in shape!"
For many people, the start of a new year signals the end of a period of overindulgence(放纵) in diet. 33 . They often revolve around turning oneself into a fit and healthy human being. However, the fact is that approximately 80% of them are abandoned before February. How does that happen 34 . While we may have good intentions when making resolutions, we are not actually making enough determination to live in a more controlled way. Change involves a degree of stress, and someone not mentally equipped to handle that stress will struggle to change.
So, what can you do to achieve your healthy goals in the new year One idea is to think small rather than the opposite. 35 . But in reality change is likely easier in smaller steps, which allows for greater success. Another helpful strategy is to design a personal reward system. Finally, set concrete goals. Instead of making a vague resolution like "I'm going to get in better shape this year" , make a specific one. For example, "I'm going to run for 30 minutes every day" would be far more powerful. Most importantly, remember that despite their name, New Year's resolutions should be for life. 36 , but with suitable strategies, there is no reason why you cannot stick to your resolutions permanently or at least until March.
A:Change takes time and effort
B. Instinctively, you step back in horror
C. It's probably related to self-discipline
D. Many people's plans involve grand measures
E. The answer is likely that we should be confident
F. New Year is a great time to be with family and friends
G. In December it's often justified by planning New Year's resolutions
