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
Famous People Who Begin With Difficulties
Oprah Winfrey
Probably having one of the most famous success stories, Oprah was born into a poor family in Mississippi, raised by a single mother living on welfare. She was physically, and mentally abused during her childhood. Despite her initial struggles as a young girl, she turned herself into one of the most successful talk show hosts of our time.
Jim Carrey
Jim Carrey has been the star of some of the most successful movies of all time. But Carrey grew up extremely poor in Canada. When he was a teenager, his family took security jobs in a factory to help pay the bills. And during his first stand-up comedy performance, he was booed off （喝倒彩） the stage. Not shortly after, he made it big on In Living Color and then went on to star in Dumb & Dumber, The Mask, and Ace Ventura in the same year!
James Dyson
If you thought Thomas Edison’s failures were bad, let me introduce you to James Dyson, the famous inventor of the Dyson vacuums （真空吸尘器） you see all over the television. Dyson developed over 5,000 failed prototypes （原型） before finding the bagless vacuum brand. Not only that, he put his entire savings account into his prototypes over fifteen years! Luckily, the bagless vacuum worked.
Stephen King
Before Stephen King became known as a great living writer—having written over 60 novels, many of which have been adapted for film and television—King was rejected over and over again. In his memoir, On Writing, King describes how he used to post his rejection letters on the wall for inspiration. His first novel, Carrie, was rejected 30 times.
21. What do Oprah and Jim have in common
A. They were abused by parents. B. They grew up in poor families.
C. They were hired as comedians. D. They found jobs in a factory.
22. What did James Dyson do
A. He repaired the failed prototypes. B. He developed over 5,000 brands.
C He put all efforts into marketing. D. He invented the bagless vacuum.
23. Who is a novelist
A. Oprah Winfrey. B. Stephen King. C. James Dyson. D. Jim Carrey.
B
Many visual artists have a signature style, as unique and identifiable as a fingerprint. For Amoako Boafo, who often paints with his fingers, this seems doubly true. His distinctive paint strokes (笔画) combine the complex skin tones of his chosen subjects, many of whom are, like himself, Africans with global life experiences.
Boafo, whose first solo museum exhibition runs at the Seattle Art Museum, was born and raised in Accra, Ghana, and moved to Vienna, Austria, in 2014, where he ran into difficulties, with gallerists unwilling to show his works due to his focus on Black figures. He continued making an effort to create self-portraits (自画像) and people he knew or admired-African people and Black people who have African ancestry, painting a community of sorts during a time of hardship. He also developed his standout approach to figurative painting, which combines areas of bright and noticeable color with his soft and deep fingerpainting.
He began posting his art online and caught the attention of artists like Kehinde Wiley, the celebrated American artist. The word started to spread.
Boafo is now a global art star, with numerous shows at galleries and art fairs, working with fashion house Dior, and several paintings selling for over a million dollars. In 2021, with three of his paintings being launched into space by Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos’ Kent-based spaceflight company, you might even say Boafo has rocketed to success.
And yet a recent phone conversation with the artist from his studio in Accra, which is once again his home base, revealed a well-mannered person who appreciated his success while pointing out all of the luck and preparation that led to it. Seeing so many of his paintings -created from 2016 to 2022-gathered together in an exhibition has helped him remember that “I did not ‘just happen. ‘I did not expect this success but I was hopeful and ready for it.”
24. What makes Boafo’s paintings different from other artists’ works
A. His finger strokes. B. His home country. ss-ess
C. His life experiences. D. His traditional style.
25. How did Boafo deal with the difficult situation in Austria
A. By turning to celebrated artists for help. B. By developing a unique painting style.
C. By running his art exhibition at home. D. By working with local art galleries.
26. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the spaceflight company
A. To indicate the price of space travel. B. To show the value of Boafo’s works.
C. To introduce an international brand. D. To tell us the advances in technology.
27. What can we learn about Boafo
A. He is talkative. B. He is patient. C. He is determined. D. He is humorous.
C
Seafloor cables (光缆) carry over 95% of all digital data traffic worldwide, including financial trading information and social media communications. However, how the Earth’s changing climate could impact this vast undersea network has been relatively understudied until now.
In a new study published in Earth-Science Reviews, an international team of researchers led by the UK’s National Oceanography Centre(NOC) worked to illuminate this problem by assessing how and where future climate change is likely to impact subsea cables.
By analyzing published datasets, the researchers identified regional climate change “hotspots” where threats to subsea cables may become more intense. These include areas in the western Pacific where changes to tropical cyclone (热带气旋) intensity and frequency have already increased cable damage.
“In our paper, we conducted the first comprehensive assessment of a range of climate-related threats to seafloor cables across the globe and their landing stations,” says study co-author Thomas Wahl. “Our analysis clearly stresses the need to carefully plan cable routes and landing station locations factoring in a range of local threats and how those are affected by climate change.”
When we look at Florida, there are at least 21 subsea telecommunications cables that connect to the Florida coastline, North and South America and the Caribbean, meaning that there will be a breakdown in communications worldwide if a cable is damaged, the researchers say.
However, the study identifies the importance of assessing changing conditions, particularly where multiple cable systems share a landing point, as they may be affected by combinations of threats that affect the low-lying Florida coastline, such as sea level rise, and changes in storm activity. “Our reliance on cables that are no wider than a garden hose (软管) is a surprise to many, who regard satellites as the main means of communication,” says lead author Mike Clare, a researcher with NOC. “But satellites simply don’t have the bandwidth to support modern digital systems. The ‘cloud’ is not in the sky—it is under the sea.”
28. What does the underlined word “illuminate” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Find. B. Miss. C. Explain. D. Connect.
29. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The threat of sea level rise. B. The finding of the study.
C. The cause of climate change. D. The method of the research.
30. Which of the following best describes Florida in the global network
A. Effective. B. Complex. C. Stable. D. Critical.
31. What can we infer from Mike Clare’s words
A. Subsea cables are more important for global communications.
B. Satellites have the ability to support modern digital systems.
C. Natural disasters will happen frequently due to climate change.
D. There is no need to assess potential threats to seafloor cables.
D
For Kurt Gray, a social psychologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, conducting experiments comes with certain problems. Before starting any study, his lab must get ethical(伦理的)approval from an institutional review board, which can take weeks or months. Then his team has to hire online participants—easier than bringing people into the lab, but Gray says the online subjects are often lazy. Then the researchers spend hours cleaning the data. But earlier this year, Gray accidentally saw an alternative way to do things.
He was working with computer scientists at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence to see whether they could develop an AI system that made moral judgments like humans. But first they figured they’d see if a system from the startup Open AI could already do the job. The team asked GPT-3. 5, which produces human-like text, to judge the ethics of 464 scenarios(情境), previously evaluated by human subjects. It turned out that the system’s answers were nearly the same as human responses.
“This is crazy,” Gray says. “If you can just ask GPT to make these judgments, why don’t you just ask GPT instead of asking people ” The results were published this month in Trends in Cognitive Science.
Now, researchers are considering AI’s ability to act as human subjects in fields such as psychology, political science, economics, and market research. No one is yet suggesting that chatbots can completely replace humans in behavioral studies. But they may act as convenient stand-ins(替代者) in pilot studies and for designing experiments, saving time and money. Language models might also help with experiments that would be too impractical, or even dangerous to run with people. “It’s a really interesting time,” says Ayelet Israeli, a marketing professor at Harvard Business School who believes the models’ impact on behavioral research could amount to a “revolution”. “Some of these results are just astonishing.”
32. What is a problem facing Kurt Gray at the start of a study
A. Online participants demand higher pay. B. Volunteers dislike the online experiment.
C. Preparations take lots of time and effort. D. Researchers lack skills to function in teams.
33. How does Kurt Gray find GPT
A. Demanding. B. Worrying. C. Amusing. D. Satisfying.
34. What is an advantage of language models according to the text
A. They can be applied to cases difficult to study. B. They may replace human subjects completely.
C. They will improve people’s well-being. D. They might promote economic growth.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. What Has AI Brought About B. What Do We Expect of GPT
C. Should We Get Rid of Chatbots D. Can AI Help Behavioral Research

A strong wind was blowing with the terrible storm at night.The stars were stuck to the black sheet of the sky.The next morning, when I woke up, the winter’s icy wind caused me to shake.
My friends and I agreed to take up a ski contest. I took a seat near the heater warming my hands and trying to calm myself down before the contest. I was encouraging myself by shouting,“I can win this contest.” As soon as I reached the white mountain top, I began wearing my safety guards for the climb down. We rhythmically recited “ready-set-go” and the race began. At every moment my speed started to increase. Finally, winning was only one step away. As a wise man had once said, “With a determined heart, a mouse can also lift an elephant so will power and courage can help conquer (战胜) a hard task.” My hope helped me to conquer this challenging race. I was on top of the world by winning the ski contest.
The next morning, it was snowing heavily. Watching this wonderful sight along with tasting delicious hot chocolate, my friends were planning to go for an overnight climb to the top of the mountain. But due to some reasons, we had to cancel the climb. Instead, we came out of the hotel room and stepped into the deep snow which buried half our legs into the soft snowy ground. The best moment till now was looking up at the grand mountain. Also the view was clear. I was eager to start my climb.We climbed towards the top and all of a sudden I lost my balance and fell from the mountain. Fortunately, I did not end up giving up my life but got a severe fracture (骨折) on my leg.

Famous People Who Begin With Difficulties
Oprah Winfrey
Probably having one of the most famous success stories, Oprah was born into a poor family in Mississippi, raised by a single mother living on welfare. She was physically, and mentally abused during her childhood. Despite her initial struggles as a young girl, she turned herself into one of the most successful talk show hosts of our time.
Jim Carrey
Jim Carrey has been the star of some of the most successful movies of all time. But Carrey grew up extremely poor in Canada. When he was a teenager, his family took security jobs in a factory to help pay the bills. And during his first stand-up comedy performance, he was booed off （喝倒彩） the stage. Not shortly after, he made it big on In Living Color and then went on to star in Dumb & Dumber, The Mask, and Ace Ventura in the same year!
James Dyson
If you thought Thomas Edison’s failures were bad, let me introduce you to James Dyson, the famous inventor of the Dyson vacuums （真空吸尘器） you see all over the television. Dyson developed over 5,000 failed prototypes （原型） before finding the bagless vacuum brand. Not only that, he put his entire savings account into his prototypes over fifteen years! Luckily, the bagless vacuum worked.
Stephen King
Before Stephen King became known as a great living writer—having written over 60 novels, many of which have been adapted for film and television—King was rejected over and over again. In his memoir, On Writing, King describes how he used to post his rejection letters on the wall for inspiration. His first novel, Carrie, was rejected 30 times.
21. What do Oprah and Jim have in common
A. They were abused by parents. B. They grew up in poor families.
C. They were hired as comedians. D. They found jobs in a factory.
22. What did James Dyson do

Many visual artists have a signature style, as unique and identifiable as a fingerprint. For Amoako Boafo, who often paints with his fingers, this seems doubly true. His distinctive paint strokes (笔画) combine the complex skin tones of his chosen subjects, many of whom are, like himself, Africans with global life experiences.
Boafo, whose first solo museum exhibition runs at the Seattle Art Museum, was born and raised in Accra, Ghana, and moved to Vienna, Austria, in 2014, where he ran into difficulties, with gallerists unwilling to show his works due to his focus on Black figures. He continued making an effort to create self-portraits (自画像) and people he knew or admired-African people and Black people who have African ancestry, painting a community of sorts during a time of hardship. He also developed his standout approach to figurative painting, which combines areas of bright and noticeable color with his soft and deep fingerpainting.
He began posting his art online and caught the attention of artists like Kehinde Wiley, the celebrated American artist. The word started to spread.
Boafo is now a global art star, with numerous shows at galleries and art fairs, working with fashion house Dior, and several paintings selling for over a million dollars. In 2021, with three of his paintings being launched into space by Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos’ Kent-based spaceflight company, you might even say Boafo has rocketed to success.
And yet a recent phone conversation with the artist from his studio in Accra, which is once again his home base, revealed a well-mannered person who appreciated his success while pointing out all of the luck and preparation that led to it. Seeing so many of his paintings -created from 2016 to 2022-gathered together in an exhibition has helped him remember that “I did not ‘just happen. ‘I did not expect this success but I was hopeful and ready for it.”
24. What makes Boafo’s paintings different from other artists’ works
A. His finger strokes. B. His home country. ss-ess
C. His life experiences. D. His traditional style.
25. How did Boafo deal with the difficult situation in Austria
A. By turning to celebrated artists for help. B. By developing a unique painting style.
C. By running his art exhibition at home. D. By working with local art galleries.
26. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the spaceflight company
A. To indicate the price of space travel. B. To show the value of Boafo’s works.
C. To introduce an international brand. D. To tell us the advances in technology.
27. What can we learn about Boafo
A. He is talkative. B. He is patient. C. He is determined. D. He is humorous.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. B 27. C

Seafloor cables (光缆) carry over 95% of all digital data traffic worldwide, including financial trading information and social media communications. However, how the Earth’s changing climate could impact this vast undersea network has been relatively understudied until now.
In a new study published in Earth-Science Reviews, an international team of researchers led by the UK’s National Oceanography Centre(NOC) worked to illuminate this problem by assessing how and where future climate change is likely to impact subsea cables.
By analyzing published datasets, the researchers identified regional climate change “hotspots” where threats to subsea cables may become more intense. These include areas in the western Pacific where changes to tropical cyclone (热带气旋) intensity and frequency have already increased cable damage.
“In our paper, we conducted the first comprehensive assessment of a range of climate-related threats to seafloor cables across the globe and their landing stations,” says study co-author Thomas Wahl. “Our analysis clearly stresses the need to carefully plan cable routes and landing station locations factoring in a range of local threats and how those are affected by climate change.”
When we look at Florida, there are at least 21 subsea telecommunications cables that connect to the Florida coastline, North and South America and the Caribbean, meaning that there will be a breakdown in communications worldwide if a cable is damaged, the researchers say.
However, the study identifies the importance of assessing changing conditions, particularly where multiple cable systems share a landing point, as they may be affected by combinations of threats that affect the low-lying Florida coastline, such as sea level rise, and changes in storm activity. “Our reliance on cables that are no wider than a garden hose (软管) is a surprise to many, who regard satellites as the main means of communication,” says lead author Mike Clare, a researcher with NOC. “But satellites simply don’t have the bandwidth to support modern digital systems. The ‘cloud’ is not in the sky—it is under the sea.”
28. What does the underlined word “illuminate” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Find. B. Miss. C. Explain. D. Connect.
29. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The threat of sea level rise. B. The finding of the study.
C. The cause of climate change. D. The method of the research.
30. Which of the following best describes Florida in the global network
A. Effective. B. Complex. C. Stable. D. Critical.
31. What can we infer from Mike Clare’s words
A. Subsea cables are more important for global communications.
B. Satellites have the ability to support modern digital systems.
C. Natural disasters will happen frequently due to climate change.
D. There is no need to assess potential threats to seafloor cables.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】

【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“When we look at Florida, there are at least 21 subsea telecommunications cables that connect to the Florida coastline, North and South America and the Caribbean, meaning that there will be a breakdown in communications worldwide if a cable is damaged, the researchers say. (研究人员表示，当我们观察佛罗里达州时，至少有21条海底电信电缆连接到佛罗里达海岸线、北美、南美和加勒比地区，这意味着如果电缆损坏，全球通信将中断。)”可推断，佛罗里达州在全球通讯网络中尤为关键。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“ ‘Our reliance on cables that are no wider than a garden hose(软管) is a surprise to many, who regard satellites as the main means of communication,’ says lead author Mike Clare, a researcher with NOC. ‘But satellites simply don’t have the bandwidth to support modern digital systems. The ‘cloud’ is not in the sky—it is under the sea.’ (‘我们对不比花园软管宽的电缆的依赖让许多人感到惊讶，他们认为卫星是主要的通信手段，’主要作者、NOC的研究员Mike Clare说。‘但卫星根本没有支持现代数字系统的带宽。‘云’不在天上，而是在海底。’)”可推断，海底光缆在全球通讯中是更为重要的联通路径。故选A项。
D
For Kurt Gray, a social psychologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, conducting experiments comes with certain problems. Before starting any study, his lab must get ethical(伦理的)approval from an institutional review board, which can take weeks or months. Then his team has to hire online participants—easier than bringing people into the lab, but Gray says the online subjects are often lazy. Then the researchers spend hours cleaning the data. But earlier this year, Gray accidentally saw an alternative way to do things.
He was working with computer scientists at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence to see whether they could develop an AI system that made moral judgments like humans. But first they figured they’d see if a system from the startup Open AI could already do the job. The team asked GPT-3. 5, which produces human-like text, to judge the ethics of 464 scenarios(情境), previously evaluated by human subjects. It turned out that the system’s answers were nearly the same as human responses.
“This is crazy,” Gray says. “If you can just ask GPT to make these judgments, why don’t you just ask GPT instead of asking people ” The results were published this month in Trends in Cognitive Science.
Now, researchers are considering AI’s ability to act as human subjects in fields such as psychology, political science, economics, and market research. No one is yet suggesting that chatbots can completely replace humans in behavioral studies. But they may act as convenient stand-ins(替代者) in pilot studies and for designing experiments, saving time and money. Language models might also help with experiments that would be too impractical, or even dangerous to run with people. “It’s a really interesting time,” says Ayelet Israeli, a marketing professor at Harvard Business School who believes the models’ impact on behavioral research could amount to a “revolution”. “Some of these results are just astonishing.”
32. What is a problem facing Kurt Gray at the start of a study
A. Online participants demand higher pay. B. Volunteers dislike the online experiment.
C. Preparations take lots of time and effort. D. Researchers lack skills to function in teams.
33. How does Kurt Gray find GPT
A. Demanding. B. Worrying. C. Amusing. D. Satisfying.
34. What is an advantage of language models according to the text
A. They can be applied to cases difficult to study. B. They may replace human subjects completely.
C. They will improve people’s well-being. D. They might promote economic growth.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. What Has AI Brought About B. What Do We Expect of GPT
C. Should We Get Rid of Chatbots D. Can AI Help Behavioral Research
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。本文主要探讨在行为研究方面，人工智能可助力科研人员。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Before starting any study, his lab must get ethical(伦理的)approval from an institutional review board, which can take weeks or months. Then his team has to hire online participants—easier than bringing people into the lab, but Gray says the online subjects are often lazy. Then the researchers spend hours cleaning the data. But earlier this year, Gray accidentally saw an alternative way to do things.(在开始任何研究之前，他的实验室必须获得机构审查委员会的伦理批准，这可能需要数周或数月的时间。然后，他的团队不得不雇佣在线参与者——这比把人带到实验室更容易，但格雷说，在线参与者往往很懒惰。然后，研究人员花了数小时清理数据。但今年早些时候，格雷偶然发现了另一种做事方式。)”可知，对Kurt Gray而言，每个研究项目启动之前，都得劳神费力进行准备工作。故选C项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“‘This is crazy,’ Gray says. ‘If you can just ask GPT to make these judgments, why don’t you just ask GPT instead of asking people ’(如果你可以让GPT做出这些判断，为什么不直接问GPT，而是问人呢？’)”可推断，Kurt Gray对GPT在实验中的表现很满意。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Language models might also help with experiments that would be too impractical, or even dangerous to run with people. (语言模型也可能有助于进行不切实际甚至危险的实验。)”可知，语言模型可应用于研究难度大的棘手项目。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“Now, researchers are considering AI’s ability to act as human subjects in fields such as psychology, political science, economics, and market research. No one is yet suggesting that chatbots can completely replace humans in behavioral studies. But they may act as convenient stand-ins(替代者) in pilot studies and for designing experiments, saving time and money. Language models might also help with experiments that would be too impractical, or even dangerous to run with people.(现在，研究人员正在考虑人工智能在心理学、政治学、经济学和市场研究等领域充当人类主体的能力。目前还没有人认为聊天机器人可以在行为研究中完全取代人类。但它们可以作为试点研究和设计实验的方便替身，节省时间和金钱。语言模型也可能有助于进行不切实际甚至危险的实验。)”以及上文可知，本文主要探讨在行为研究方面，人工智能可助力科研人员。所以D项Can AI Help Behavioral Research (人工智能能帮助行为研究吗？)符合语境。故选D项。

A strong wind was blowing with the terrible storm at night.The stars were stuck to the black sheet of the sky.The next morning, when I woke up, the winter’s icy wind caused me to shake.
My friends and I agreed to take up a ski contest. I took a seat near the heater warming my hands and trying to calm myself down before the contest. I was encouraging myself by shouting“I can win this contest.” As soon as I reached the white mountain top, I began wearing my safety guards for the climb down. We rhythmically recited “ready-set-go” and the race began. At every moment my speed started to increase. Finally, winning was only one step away. As a wise man had once said, “With a determined heart, a mouse can also lift an elephant so will power and courage can help conquer (战胜) a hard task.” My hope helped me to conquer this challenging race. I was on top of the world by winning the ski contest.
The next morning, it was snowing heavily. Watching this wonderful sight along with tasting delicious hot chocolate, my friends were planning to go for an overnight climb to the top of the mountain. But due to some reasons, we had to cancel the climb. Instead, we came out of the hotel room and stepped into the deep snow which buried half our legs into the soft snowy ground. The best moment till now was looking up at the grand mountain. Also the view was clear. I was eager to start my climb.We climbed towards the top and all of a sudden I lost my balance and fell from the mountain. Fortunately, I did not end up giving up my life but got a severe fracture (骨折) on my leg.

This upset me in the initial days of my recovery.

One dark evening, a joyful voice got me to turn towards the window.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
This upset me in the initial days of my recovery. Being fortunate to live all my life around snow and skiing with my friends would make me feel happy! My heart sank on learning that I would be unable to ski like before.To my horror, the four walls of my room got me angry over the broken leg. My friends had always known me as a happy person full of jokes, but this event changed me. Discouragement ran through my whole body, enough to get me in a black mood!
One dark evening, a joyful voice got me to turn towards the window. I looked at the front yard of my house. I saw a man who sold things by standing in the street. My eyes stayed open in amazement. A strong feeling ran across my body on witnessing him yet working with ease to earn his livelihood. The rain of inspiration washed the desperation in me and gave my life a new vision --You should shine brighter each day and let the failures wash away. I was anxious to ski on those soft snowy mountains.The fighter in me was now alive.
