第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）

A
Starting a new school can be very hard, and all you want to do is to fit in. If this sounds familiar, realize that many new students experience it and it is possible to overcome the feelings of being left out, uncertain and worried about fitting in. This article provides a few ideas to help you fit in to your new school and have a very comfortable life there!
Arrive early.
At your new school, try to arrive early so that you can fit in better. Arriving late will give you that excluded feel, and won’t make a good impression on your new teachers! Arriving early will give you the chance to communicate with people already at school. This can help to make some new friends.
Join a club / sports team.
Most schools have a list of after-school activities you can choose from. In almost all schools, being on a sports team or the star in the musical is considered “cool” and easily welcomed by students. Besides, these activities look great on a college application.
Strive to be outgoing.
The key to this is you starting the conversation and showing your attitude towards other kids first. Let’s face it, no one’s going to come straight up to you and want to be best friends. It’s you that has to go up, say your name, ask questions, get to know people, and maybe even share things about yourself. It may seem terrible, but it’s worth a try.
Be a good student.
Try to bump up your smarts a little. It would be awesome if you were in the social scene, known, and outgoing, as well as loved by your teachers. However, for this to come, work your hardest on your studies while still keeping that social balance.
Study often to try to get good grades. Remember that the reason why you’re at school is to learn. Sometimes, when you are eager to fit in, you will pretend to act uneducated just for attention. This will attract attention, but only because people will think you’re stupid, which won’t make them want to be friends with you.
21. Why it is important for students to join a club / sports team according to the passage
A. It can help them get better grades.
B. It can leave a good impression on teachers.
C It helps them learn more about themselves.
D. It can make them look more attractive and popular.
22. What should a new student do to have a good start in new school
A. Trying to talk to everyone they meet.
B. Offering to communicate with other students.
C. Pretending to be knowledgeable to attract attention.
D. Spending more time on study instead of social life.
23. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A magazine on how parents educate their children.
B. A blog post on the challenges of fitting in at a new school.
C. An article on a website to help students adapt to a new school.
D. A book on learning methods for middle school students.
B
Since the AI chatbot ChatGPT was released in 2020, we’ve been hearing about the threat posed by artificial intelligence. A statement signed by academic experts and tech industry figures even branded AI an “extinction risk.”
In education, there have been concerns that ChatGPT could negatively affect the learning process of students. For example, students could ask ChatGPT to write their coursework for them, skipping the research and writing effort that leads to a better understanding of the topic in question. Perhaps a better approach would be to change and enhance how we teach and assess the outcomes of learning.
Making education more focused on practical skills and the use of knowledge in problem solving could ensure a deeper understanding on the part of students. AI could be used for guidance, in much the same way we currently use calculators, to help enrich people’s knowledge.
However, risks do exist. In May 2023, for example, a US lawyer admitted using ChatGPT for case research. The lawyer’s filing was found to reference legal cases that didn’t exist. The chatbot had made them up. It’s not the first time that these “AI hallucinations” have been reported.
Then we have the very real risk that AI could be used for illegal purposes such as identity theft. For example, criminals could use AI to clone someone’s voice. They could then phone family members and try to convince them to give out sensitive information that could be helpful for accessing bank accounts. A variant of AI-driven identity theft is the use of deepfake videos.
However, Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder, sounds less worried than some other executives in Silicon Valley about the risks of artificial intelligence. In a blog post on Tuesday, he wrote, “This is not the first time a major innovation has introduced new threats that had to be controlled. We’ve done it before.”
24. What is a consequence of students’ using ChatGPT
A. Reduced learning time. B. Improved academic performance.
C. A lack of learning process. D. Health issues.
25. What might be an example of AI hallucinations
A. Reproducing real events. B. Recommending irrelevant information.
C Providing incorrect recommendations. D. Generating non-existent legal cases.
26. What’s paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Identity theft through AI techniques.
B. Cloning someone’s voice using AI.
C. The potential dangers of AI for illegal purposes.
D. Deepfake videos as a form of AI-driven identity theft.
27. What attitude does Bill Gates have to the side effects of AI
A. He doesn’t care about them. B. He thinks them controllable.
C. He takes them very seriously. D. He doubts their occurrence.
C
Friendships can have a major impact on your health and happiness, but it’s not always easy to develop or maintain friendships. It’s necessary to understand the importance of social connection in your life and how to meet new friends.
Good friends are good for your health. Friends can help you celebrate good times and provide support during bad times. Friends prevent isolation and loneliness and give you a chance to offer needed companionship, too. Friends also play a significant role in promoting your overall health. Adults with strong social connections have a reduced risk of many significant health problems, including depression, high blood pressure and an unhealthy body mass index (BMI). In fact, studies have found that older adults who have meaningful relationships and social support are likely to live longer than their peers with fewer connections.
Many adults find it hard to develop new friendships or keep up existing friendships. Friendships may take a back seat to other priorities, such as work or caring for children or aging parents. You and your friends may have grown apart due to changes in your lives or interests. Or maybe you’ve moved to a new community and haven’t yet found a way to meet people. Developing and maintaining good friendships takes effort. The enjoyment and comfort friendship can provide, however, makes the investment worthwhile.
So, what are some ways to meet new friends It’s possible to develop friendships with people who are already in your social network. Think through people you’ve interacted with— even very casually— who made a positive impression. If anyone stands out in your memory as someone you’d like to know better, reach out. Ask mutual friends or acquaintances to share the person’s contact information, or— even better— to reintroduce the two of you with a text, email or in-person visit. Extend an invitation to coffee or lunch.
To meet new people who might become your friends, you have to go to places where others are gathered. Don’t limit yourself to one strategy for meeting people. The broader your efforts, the greater your likelihood of success. Persistence also matters. Take the initiative rather than waiting for invitations to come your way and keep trying. You may need to suggest plans a few times before you can tell if your interest in a new friend is mutual.
28. What does the underlined word “isolation” in the second paragraph probably mean
A. Challenge. B. Relaxation. C. Separation. D. Determination.
29. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. Friendship can help people live longer.
B. Support from friends during tough times.
C. Some suggestions on how to make friends.
D. Friendship’s positive impacts on people’s health.
30. How many difficulties in developing and maintaining friendships are mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4 D. 5.
31. Which of the following way of making friends is mentioned in the passage
A. Make one strategy for meeting people.
B. Wait for invitations to come your way.
C. Contact those who ever impressed you a lot.
D. Share your personal contact information online.
D
South African scientists have started working toward one day injecting radioactive material into the horns of rhinos (将放射性物质注入犀牛角) to save the animals from poachers (偷猎者).
While using radioactive material sounds like a radical measure (激进措施), it is trying to deal with an extremely serious problem. Poachers have killed two-thirds of South Africa’s rhinos over the past years. In 2014 alone, 1,215 South African rhinos were killed by poachers. Millions of dollars are spent each year on protecting the animals, with limited success: last year 394 deaths were recorded. Rhino horns are highly popular in some illegal (非法的) markets, selling for up to $100,000 a kilogram.
The big question now is whether or not the rhinos will suffer any pain or experience harmful side effects as a result of injecting such material into their horns. “This is what scientists are trying to work out with a lot of testing,” said Dr Mitzi Klein, the Australia’s Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation’s (ANSTO) scientist. “The most important thing is to protect the rhino and the environment around them, and not hurt the rhino one bit.”
Dr Guy Castley from Griffith University said that any injection into the horn itself won’t hurt because the horn is made up of a material called keratin, which is the same as human nails and hair. “The horn itself does not have any nerves or blood vessels (神经或血管) inside it. So it’s not likely to cause the rhino any discomfort or pain,” he said.
Dr Castley stressed that it’s too early to say if radioactive material will be used and Dr Klein agreed that radiation won’t come near any rhino until they discover a way to put the radiation safely in the horn “... so that it does not spread to the body or hurt anything in the environment.”
“We need to protect rhinos, because we’re in danger of losing them forever. If we can find a way to safely put radiation in the horns, it could end poaching, because it would no longer be safe for people to use horns to make medicine,” Dr Klein said. Sensors could also be used to pick up radioactive material in the horns, making it harder for poachers to send them to other countries.
32. What is the author mainly talking about in paragraph 2
A. Poaching is under effective control.
B. Rhinos are in a dangerous situation.
C. The protection of rhinos is rather costly.
D. Rhinos are very popular in South Africa.
33. According to Dr Klein, why is lots of testing needed
A. To find out what makes up rhino horns.
B. To decide which medicine is suitable for rhinos.
C. To examine whether the injection will harm rhinos.
D. To show that rhino horns are useless in treating illnesses.
34. What is Dr Castley’s attitude toward using radioactive material
A. Careful. B. Satisfied. C. Uncertain. D. Doubtful.
35. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To report a research result on rhinos.
B. To introduce a possible way to save rhinos.
C. To stress the importance of stopping poaching.
D. To explain the ill effects of radioactive material.

【解析】
【原文】W: This is the 6 o’clock news for Tuesday 25 November. And first the headlines: The government has promised to help the poor farmers in the northern part of the country who haven’t seen rain for nearly two years. And in Sydney a group of school children are successfully rescued from a plane which landed in the sea shortly after takeoff. Transport workers are on strike in Melbourne asking for a pay raise. And the strike may spread to other states.
Now let’s focus on the school children. They were travelling in a plane from Sydney to Queensland to take part in a musical concert. They found themselves swimming for the shore when their plane had to land in the sea just three minutes after taking off from Sydney Airport. The pilot managed to bring the aircraft and its 50 passengers down safely in the calm waters of Botany Bay where boats were able to come to the rescue of the children. It was a weekend, and there were hundreds of boats in the bay enjoying the good weather. This undoubtedly helped the rescue operation. The children said they owed their lives to the skill of the pilot. But the pilot replied modestly that it was all part of a day’s work. However, all their musical instruments were lost and they never got to play at their concert.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Starting a new school can be very hard, and all you want to do is to fit in. If this sounds familiar, realize that many new students experience it and it is possible to overcome the feelings of being left out, uncertain and worried about fitting in. This article provides a few ideas to help you fit in to your new school and have a very comfortable life there!
Arrive early.
At your new school, try to arrive early so that you can fit in better. Arriving late will give you that excluded feel, and won’t make a good impression on your new teachers! Arriving early will give you the chance to communicate with people already at school. This can help to make some new friends.
Join a club / sports team.
Most schools have a list of after-school activities you can choose from. In almost all schools, being on a sports team or the star in the musical is considered “cool” and easily welcomed by students. Besides, these activities look great on a college application.
Strive to be outgoing.
The key to this is you starting the conversation and showing your attitude towards other kids first. Let’s face it, no one’s going to come straight up to you and want to be best friends. It’s you that has to go up, say your name, ask questions, get to know people, and maybe even share things about yourself. It may seem terrible, but it’s worth a try.
Be a good student.
Try to bump up your smarts a little. It would be awesome if you were in the social scene, known, and outgoing, as well as loved by your teachers. However, for this to come, work your hardest on your studies while still keeping that social balance.
Study often to try to get good grades. Remember that the reason why you’re at school is to learn. Sometimes, when you are eager to fit in, you will pretend to act uneducated just for attention. This will attract attention, but only because people will think you’re stupid, which won’t make them want to be friends with you.
21. Why it is important for students to join a club / sports team according to the passage
A. It can help them get better grades.
B. It can leave a good impression on teachers.
C. It helps them learn more about themselves.
D. It can make them look more attractive and popular.
22. What should a new student do to have a good start in new school
A. Trying to talk to everyone they meet.
B. Offering to communicate with other students.
C. Pretending to be knowledgeable to attract attention.
D. Spending more time on study instead of social life.
23. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A magazine on how parents educate their children.
B. A blog post on the challenges of fitting in at a new school.
C. An article on a website to help students adapt to a new school.
D. A book on learning methods for middle school students.
【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C

Since the AI chatbot ChatGPT was released in 2020, we’ve been hearing about the threat posed by artificial intelligence. A statement signed by academic experts and tech industry figures even branded AI an “extinction risk.”
In education, there have been concerns that ChatGPT could negatively affect the learning process of students. For example, students could ask ChatGPT to write their coursework for them, skipping the research and writing effort that leads to a better understanding of the topic in question. Perhaps a better approach would be to change and enhance how we teach and assess the outcomes of learning.
Making education more focused on practical skills and the use of knowledge in problem solving could ensure a deeper understanding on the part of students. AI could be used for guidance, in much the same way we currently use calculators, to help enrich people’s knowledge.
However, risks do exist. In May 2023, for example, a US lawyer admitted using ChatGPT for case research. The lawyer’s filing was found to reference legal cases that didn’t exist. The chatbot had made them up. It’s not the first time that these “AI hallucinations” have been reported.
Then we have the very real risk that AI could be used for illegal purposes such as identity theft. For example, criminals could use AI to clone someone’s voice. They could then phone family members and try to convince them to give out sensitive information that could be helpful for accessing bank accounts. A variant of AI-driven identity theft is the use of deepfake videos.
However, Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder, sounds less worried than some other executives in Silicon Valley about the risks of artificial intelligence. In a blog post on Tuesday, he wrote, “This is not the first time a major innovation has introduced new threats that had to be controlled. We’ve done it before.”
24. What is a consequence of students’ using ChatGPT
A. Reduced learning time. B. Improved academic performance.
C. A lack of learning process. D. Health issues.
25. What might be an example of AI hallucinations
A. Reproducing real events. B. Recommending irrelevant information.
C. Providing incorrect recommendations. D. Generating non-existent legal cases.
26. What’s paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Identity theft through AI techniques.
B. Cloning someone’s voice using AI.
C The potential dangers of AI for illegal purposes.
D. Deepfake videos as a form of AI-driven identity theft.
27. What attitude does Bill Gates have to the side effects of AI
A. He doesn’t care about them. B. He thinks them controllable.
C. He takes them very seriously. D. He doubts their occurrence.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。我们一直听说人工智能带来的威胁，一份由学术专家和科技行业人士签署的声明甚至将人工智能列为“灭绝风险”。本文主要讲述了ChatGPT产生的负面影响。

Friendships can have a major impact on your health and happiness, but it’s not always easy to develop or maintain friendships. It’s necessary to understand the importance of social connection in your life and how to meet new friends.
Good friends are good for your health. Friends can help you celebrate good times and provide support during bad times. Friends prevent isolation and loneliness and give you a chance to offer needed companionship, too. Friends also play a significant role in promoting your overall health. Adults with strong social connections have a reduced risk of many significant health problems, including depression, high blood pressure and an unhealthy body mass index (BMI). In fact, studies have found that older adults who have meaningful relationships and social support are likely to live longer than their peers with fewer connections.
Many adults find it hard to develop new friendships or keep up existing friendships. Friendships may take a back seat to other priorities, such as work or caring for children or aging parents. You and your friends may have grown apart due to changes in your lives or interests. Or maybe you’ve moved to a new community and haven’t yet found a way to meet people. Developing and maintaining good friendships takes effort. The enjoyment and comfort friendship can provide, however, makes the investment worthwhile.
So, what are some ways to meet new friends It’s possible to develop friendships with people who are already in your social network. Think through people you’ve interacted with— even very casually— who made a positive impression. If anyone stands out in your memory as someone you’d like to know better, reach out. Ask mutual friends or acquaintances to share the person’s contact information, or— even better— to reintroduce the two of you with a text, email or in-person visit. Extend an invitation to coffee or lunch.
To meet new people who might become your friends, you have to go to places where others are gathered. Don’t limit yourself to one strategy for meeting people. The broader your efforts, the greater your likelihood of success. Persistence also matters. Take the initiative rather than waiting for invitations to come your way and keep trying. You may need to suggest plans a few times before you can tell if your interest in a new friend is mutual.
28. What does the underlined word “isolation” in the second paragraph probably mean
A. Challenge. B. Relaxation. C. Separation. D. Determination.
29. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. Friendship can help people live longer.
B. Support from friends during tough times.
C. Some suggestions on how to make friends.
D. Friendship’s positive impacts on people’s health.
30. How many difficulties in developing and maintaining friendships are mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4 D. 5.
31. Which of the following way of making friends is mentioned in the passage
A. Make one strategy for meeting people.
B. Wait for invitations to come your way.
C. Contact those who ever impressed you a lot.
D. Share your personal contact information online.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. C

Or maybe you’ve moved to a new community and haven’t yet found a way to meet people. (许多成年人发现很难发展新的友谊或维持现有的友谊。友谊可能会让位于其他优先事项，比如工作、照顾孩子或年迈的父母。你和你的朋友可能因为生活或兴趣的变化而疏远了。或者也许你搬到了一个新的社区，还没有找到结识朋友的方法。)”可知，在发展和维持友谊中会有三个困难：工作、照顾孩子或年迈的父母；可能因为生活或兴趣的变化而疏远了；也许你搬到了一个新的社区，还没有找到结识朋友的方法。故选B。
【31题详解】

D
South African scientists have started working toward one day injecting radioactive material into the horns of rhinos (将放射性物质注入犀牛角) to save the animals from poachers (偷猎者).
While using radioactive material sounds like a radical measure (激进措施), it is trying to deal with an extremely serious problem. Poachers have killed two-thirds of South Africa’s rhinos over the past years. In 2014 alone, 1,215 South African rhinos were killed by poachers. Millions of dollars are spent each year on protecting the animals, with limited success: last year 394 deaths were recorded. Rhino horns are highly popular in some illegal (非法的) markets, selling for up to $100,000 a kilogram.
The big question now is whether or not the rhinos will suffer any pain or experience harmful side effects as a result of injecting such material into their horns. “This is what scientists are trying to work out with a lot of testing,” said Dr Mitzi Klein, the Australia’s Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation’s (ANSTO) scientist. “The most important thing is to protect the rhino and the environment around them, and not hurt the rhino one bit.”
Dr Guy Castley from Griffith University said that any injection into the horn itself won’t hurt because the horn is made up of a material called keratin, which is the same as human nails and hair. “The horn itself does not have any nerves or blood vessels (神经或血管) inside it. So it’s not likely to cause the rhino any discomfort or pain,” he said.
Dr Castley stressed that it’s too early to say if radioactive material will be used and Dr Klein agreed that radiation won’t come near any rhino until they discover a way to put the radiation safely in the horn “... so that it does not spread to the body or hurt anything in the environment.”
“We need to protect rhinos, because we’re in danger of losing them forever. If we can find a way to safely put radiation in the horns, it could end poaching, because it would no longer be safe for people to use horns to make medicine,” Dr Klein said. Sensors could also be used to pick up radioactive material in the horns, making it harder for poachers to send them to other countries.
32. What is the author mainly talking about in paragraph 2
A. Poaching is under effective control.
B. Rhinos are in a dangerous situation.
C. The protection of rhinos is rather costly.
D. Rhinos are very popular in South Africa.
33. According to Dr Klein, why is lots of testing needed
A. To find out what makes up rhino horns.
B. To decide which medicine is suitable for rhinos.
C. To examine whether the injection will harm rhinos.
D. To show that rhino horns are useless in treating illnesses.
34. What is Dr Castley’s attitude toward using radioactive material
A. Careful. B. Satisfied. C. Uncertain. D. Doubtful.
35. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To report a research result on rhinos.
B. To introduce a possible way to save rhinos.
C. To stress the importance of stopping poaching.
D. To explain the ill effects of radioactive material.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了南非科学家已经开始研究有一天将放射性物质注射到犀牛角中，以从偷猎者手中拯救动物。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“While using radioactive material sounds like a radical measure (激进措施), it is trying to deal with an extremely serious problem. Poachers have killed two-thirds of South Africa’s rhinos over the past years. In 2014 alone, 1,215 South African rhinos were killed by poachers. Millions of dollars are spent each year on protecting the animals, with limited success: last year 394 deaths were recorded. Rhino horns are highly popular in some illegal (非法的) markets, selling for up to $100,000 a kilogram.(虽然使用放射性物质听起来像是一种激进的措施，但它正试图解决一个极其严重的问题。在过去的几年里，偷猎者杀死了南非三分之二的犀牛。仅2014年一年，就有1215头南非犀牛被偷猎者杀害。每年花费数百万美元用于保护动物，但成效有限:去年有394人死亡。犀牛角在一些非法市场上非常受欢迎，每公斤售价高达10万美元)”可知，第二段主要讲了犀牛的处境很危险，故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The big question now is whether or not the rhinos will suffer any pain or experience harmful side effects as a result of injecting such material into their horns. “This is what scientists are trying to work out with a lot of testing,” said Dr Mitzi Klein, the Australia’s Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation’s (ANSTO) scientist. “The most important thing is to protect the rhino and the environment around them, and not hurt the rhino one bit.”(现在最大的问题是，将这种物质注射到犀牛的角上，犀牛是否会感到疼痛或产生有害的副作用。澳大利亚核科学与技术组织(ANSTO)的科学家米齐·克莱因博士说：“这就是科学家们试图通过大量测试来解决的问题。”“最重要的是保护犀牛和它们周围的环境，不要伤害犀牛。”)”可知，根据克莱因博士的说法，为了检查注射是否会伤害犀牛，所以需要大量的测试。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Dr Castley stressed that it’s too early to say if radioactive material will be used and Dr Klein agreed that radiation won’t come near any rhino until they discover a way to put the radiation safely in the horn(卡斯特利博士强调，现在说是否会使用放射性物质还为时过早，克莱因博士同意，在他们找到一种将辐射安全放入犀牛角的方法之前，辐射不会接近任何犀牛)”可知，卡斯特利博士认为是否会使用放射性物质还为时过早，所以他是小心的。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“South African scientists have started working toward one day injecting radioactive material into the horns of rhinos to save the animals from poachers.(南非科学家已经开始研究有一天将放射性物质注射到犀牛角中，以从偷猎者手中拯救动物)”以及最后一段““We need to protect rhinos, because we’re in danger of losing them forever. If we can find a way to safely put radiation in the horns, it could end poaching, because it would no longer be safe for people to use horns to make medicine,”(“我们需要保护犀牛，因为我们有永远失去它们的危险。如果我们能找到一种安全地将辐射放入犀角的方法，就可以结束偷猎，因为人们用犀角制药将不再安全，”)”可知，本文主要目的是介绍一种可能拯救犀牛的方法。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述帮助你和几乎所有的老师建立友好的关系的一些建议。
【36题详解】
根据下文“If you appear angry or unhappy in front of them, the conflict is unlikely to be solved.(如果你在他们面前表现得生气或不开心，冲突不太可能得到解决。)”可推断出在老师面前要表现的友好，才能解决问题，故选D选项“在交谈中一定要有礼貌并表现出尊重。”符合题意，故选D。
【37题详解】
根据下文“Teachers have many years of teaching experience in the subjects they teach. So discussing the best ways to succeed in the classroom may give you the opportunity to see the best instructors.( 教师在他们所教的科目上有多年的教学经验。因此，讨论在课堂上取得成功的最佳方法可能会让你有机会见到最好的老师。) ”可知老师有很多经验，问老师方法如何在课堂上表现，B选项“问问你的老师你怎样才能在课堂上做得好。”符合语境，故选B。
【38题详解】
根据段首句“Learn to understand their teaching methods.( 学会理解他们的教学方法。)”可知这段是谈论理解老师教学方法的。下文“If you are used to a very relaxing class, learning to be successful in a strict environment is difficult and vice versa (反之亦然). In most cases, it is necessary to give yourself some time to get used to a new teaching method.(如果你习惯了一个非常轻松的课堂，在一个严格的环境中学习成功是困难的，反之亦然。在大多数情况下，需要给自己一些时间来适应一种新的教学方法。)”所以G选项“有时候，你可能不喜欢一些老师，因为他们的教学方法。”和下文紧密相连，并且符合本段主旨，故选G。
