All kinds of people work in a wide range of jobs in the clothing industry, from drivers to office workers and artists. Right now we’re on the lookout for scientists, particularly to work with the dyes we use to colour cloth. And to design the patterns and choose the colours which are going to appeal to consumers, we have a strong design team. We’re not looking for any new designers at present but chances may arise in the future. However, at the moment we are looking for engineers to work in the production department. And we’re currently employing accountants. They’re not usually associated with fashion but let me tell you, they perform a vital task. But that’s not to say that, if you have qualifications in another field, for example, sales, we won’t be needing someone like you in the future.

Seventy miles inland from the Bering Sea, the villages of Akiachak, Akiak and Tuluksak formed the Yupiit School District. This year, this district was allowed to operate on an academic calendar according to seasonal harvests.
It starts a week later than other districts, and classes finish 10 days earlier. They make up the difference with an extra half hour of instruction each day. Students can now take part in the fall moose (驼鹿) hunt and the spring migratory bird harvest. The strategy is to pass along traditional knowledge that cannot be gained in the classroom.
On a cloudy day this June, teachers met students at a large cutting table near teacher housing near the river. Originally, the morning catch of salmon (鲑鱼) was supposed to be processed at a nearby community fish camp, but those plans were scrapped because a black bear was hanging around.
Evelyn Esmailka explained the differences between salmon and other fishes to the children. After this lesson, they boarded boats to go fishing for salmon on the river. The order of the day was making sure that every student got a chance to take part in the harvest.
Barron Sample was in charge of it. “For some of them, it’s the first time actually out here on the river doing this, and the first time they’re actually pulling a net,” Sample said. The boat was one of three owned by the school district. “There’re three schools in our school district: Akiak, Tuluksak, and us, Akiachak. So, in a little competition, like, how many did you catch today ” Sample said.
While the first drift only yielded two fish, the second brought in around a dozen of various fish. The students screamed in delight as the struggling salmons were picked from the net, landing with a bang in a plastic box.
During the narrow window when fishing was allowed, the village of Akiachak felt like a deserted town. But along the river, the fish camps buzzed with activities as families processed the day’s harvest in a way that has changed little over the centuries.
24. What are students of the Yupiit School District expected to do
A. Embrace traditional native knowledge fully.
B. Attend an extra class for half an hour.
C. Harvest their academic achievements.
D. Learn about the migration of birds.
25. What docs the underlined word “scrapped” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Discussed. B. Abandoned. C. Approved. D. Introduced.
26. What does Barron think of the students’ fishing for salmon
A. Exhausting. B. Dangerous. C. Competitive. D. Knowledgeable.
27. What remains unchanged at Akiachak village
A. The local quiet lifestyle. B. The education of surviving skills.
C. The summer camp activities. D. The way of processing fish.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了akakhak、Akiak和Tuluksak三个村庄组成了Yupiit学区。今年，这个地区被允许根据季节收成实行学历。这样学生可以学习在课堂上无法获得的传统知识。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The strategy is to pass along traditional knowledge that cannot be gained in the classroom.(他们的策略是传授在课堂上无法获得的传统知识。)”可知，这个新学区的学生预计能充分地了解传统知识。故选A。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“On a cloudy day this June, teachers met students at a large cutting table near teacher housing near the river. Originally, the morning catch of salmon (鲑鱼) was supposed to be processed at a nearby community fish camp…(今年6月的一个阴天，老师们在河边教师宿舍附近的一张大桌子旁与学生见面。原本，早上捕获的鲑鱼应该在附近的社区鱼类营地进行加工……)”和“but”以及下文中“because a black bear was hanging around.(由于黑熊在附近徘徊)”可知，由于黑熊的出没，原来的计划被放弃了，scrapped意为“放弃”，和B项：Abandoned意思接近。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段““There’re three schools in our school district: Akiak, Tuluksak, and us, Akiachak. So, in a little competition, like, how many did you catch today ”(“我们的学区有三所学校：Akiak, Tuluksak，我们Akiachak。所以，在一个小比赛中，比如，你今天抓了多少 ”)”可推知，他认为学生的捕鱼过程是有竞争性的。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“During the narrow window when fishing was allowed, the village of Akiachak felt like a deserted town. But along the river, the fish camps buzzed with activities as families processed the day’s harvest in a way that has changed little over the centuries.(在允许捕鱼的狭窄窗口期间，Akiachak村感觉像一个荒芜的小镇。但沿河的渔场里却热闹异常，各家各户都在以几个世纪以来几乎没有改变的方式加工当天的收成。)”可推知，在Akiachak这个地方，加工鱼的方式是保持不变的。故选D。
C
When the patient arrives, it can barely move its body. The parrot tries to spread its green wings — and fails — to fly. It is just one of dozens of rainbow lorikeets (彩虹鹦鹉) being treated for a mysterious paralyzing (瘫痪) illness. Cases of what is called lorikeet paralysis syndrome (LPS) have been increasing over the past decade, says vet Claude Lacasse. But scientists are puzzled as to what is causing it.
Lacasse has partnered with several researchers to try solving the mystery. So far, they’ve ruled out hundreds of human-made chemicals as well as various infectious diseases. Their current theory is that LPS is caused by a plant the birds are eating, something that flowers or fruits between late spring and early fall — when cases always rise.
But researchers have no idea which plant or plants might be involved, why the disease is getting worse or whether climate change is playing a role. For now, the main concern is figuring out everything the sick lorikeets are eating.
Ecologist Rachele Wilson used a technique involving testing DNA in sick birds’ droppings to match it to specific plant DNA. These data suggest the birds are feeding on more than 130 plant species, at least 30 of which are potentially poisonous. Other researchers are not just looking at plant DNA but also at bacterial and animal DNA to allow for the possibility that the birds are swallowing a poisonous insect in fruit, or a poison produced by bacteria found on a plant.
It’s possible climate change plays a role by driving rainbow lorikeets to seek out unusual food sources. Animals are broadening their hunting range and going into more traditionally uninviting areas to find food, including fruit, seeds and, strangely, even meat.
With climate change causing more extreme weather events and intensely hot summers, the need to find what’s paralyzing rainbow lorikeets — and potentially other species — is of urgent concern.
“They’re amazing birds,” Phalen says. “It’s hard to see them as sick as they are.”
28. What are researchers trying to find out first
A. Why LPS is getting worse. B. Where rainbow lorikeets usually gather.
C. How human-made chemicals led to LPS. D. What lorikeets are feeding on at present.
29. What does Wilson focus on in her study
A. Collecting DNA data from specific animals.
B. Analyzing DNA in the waste of sick lorikeets.
C. Identifying DNA hidden in different plants.
D. Looking at plant, bacterial and animal DNA.
30. How does climate change possibly influence rainbow lorikeets
A. Increasing the variety of their diets.
B. Enlarging the habitats of these birds.
C. Adapting themselves to extreme weather events.
D. Forcing them to swallow a poisonous insect in fruit.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Endangered rare species in Australia
B. Strange diseases striking Australian birds
C. The mystery of Australia’s paralyzed parrots
D. The influence of climate change on animals
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚彩红鹦鹉患有神秘的瘫痪疾病（LSP），以及研究人员真正研究造成这一疾病的原因等情况。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第三段中“For now, the main concern is figuring out everything the sick lorikeets are eating.(目前，人们主要关心的是弄清楚这些患病的鹦鹉吃什么)”可知，研究人员目前最关心的是想了解彩红鹦鹉吃什么食物。故选D。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Ecologist Rachele Wilson used a technique involving testing DNA in sick birds’ droppings to match it to specific plant DNA. These data suggest the birds are feeding on more than 130 plant species, at least 30 of which are potentially poisonous.(生态学家Rachele Wilson使用了一种技术，包括检测病鸟粪便中的DNA，以便与特定植物的DNA进行匹配。这些数据表明，这些鸟类以130多种植物为食，其中至少有30种可能有毒)”可知，Wilson的研究重点是分析患病的鹦鹉粪便中的DNA。故选B。
3.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“It’s possible climate change plays a role by driving rainbow lorikeets to seek out unusual food sources. Animals are broadening their hunting range and going into more traditionally uninviting areas to find food, including fruit, seeds and, strangely, even meat.(气候变化可能在驱使彩虹鹦鹉寻找不寻常的食物来源方面发挥了作用。动物们正在扩大它们的狩猎范围，进入传统意义上不受欢迎的地区寻找食物，包括水果、种子，奇怪的是，甚至还有肉)”可知，气候变化促使彩红鹦鹉到处寻找食物，扩大狩猎范围，寻找不同的食物。由此推知，气候变化增加了彩红鹦鹉饮食的多样性。故选A。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“The parrot tries to spread its green wings — and fails — to fly. It is just one of dozens of rainbow lorikeets (彩虹鹦鹉) being treated for a mysterious paralyzing (瘫痪) illness. Cases of what is called lorikeet paralysis syndrome (LPS) have been increasing over the past decade, says vet Claude Lacasse. But scientists are puzzled as to what is causing it.(鹦鹉试图展开它的绿色翅膀，但是失败了。这只是数十只彩虹鹦鹉中的一只，它们正在接受一种神秘的麻痹性疾病的治疗。兽医Claude Lacasse说，在过去的十年里，所谓的洛里基特麻痹综合症（LPS）病例一直在增加。但是科学家们对是什么原因造成了这种现象感到困惑)”可知，文章主要介绍了澳大利亚彩红鹦鹉患有神秘的瘫痪疾病（LSP），以及研究人员真正研究造成这一疾病的原因等情况。由此可知，C项“澳大利亚鹦鹉患瘫痪疾病之谜”适合作文章标题。故选C。
D
For many book writers, artificial intelligence(AI) is a threat to their jobs and the very idea of creativity. At the same time, AI is a story to tell, and no longer just in science fiction.
Helen Phillips is the writer of the upcoming book HUM. It tells of a wife and mother who loses her job to AI. “I’m frightened by artificial intelligence, but also interested in it,” she explained. Phillips said there is a hope in AI for gaining all knowledge, the understanding of everything. But at the same time, there is an “inborn terror in being replaced by non-human intelligence.”
Ryan Doherty is a vice president and director at Celadon Books. It recently agreed to publish Fred Lunzker’s book Sike, featuring an AI doctor of mental health. “We’ve been seeing more and more about AI in book proposals,” Doherty said. Doherty used the term zeitgeist (时代精神), meaning the general ideas or spirit of a time, to describe AI. “It’s the zeitgeist right now. And whatever is in the cultural zeitgeist gets into fiction,” Doherty said.
In Sierra Greer’s Annie Bot, the title character is an AI mate designed for a human male. For Greer, the book was a way to explore the character’s “urgent desire to please.” Amy Shearn’s book, Animal Instinct, has its origins in her personal life. She had recently divorced and began to use dating apps. “It’s so strange how, with apps, you start to feel as if you’re going person-shopping,” she said, “And I thought, wouldn’t it be great if you could really pick and choose the best parts or all these people you meet with to make your ideal person ”
Earlier this year, Stephen Marche used AI to write the short book Death of An Author. Simon Rich worked with Brent Katz and Josh Morgenthau for I Am Code, a thriller that came out this month. The AI program “code-davinci-002” created the work.
32. What’s Helen’s attitude towards AI
A. Resistant. B. Doubtful. C. Approving. D. Contradictory
33. What statement does Doherty agree to
A. AI reflects the spirit of current times. B. AI acts as a doctor of mental health.
C. Al proposes more ideas for fictions. D. Culture is a combination of general ideas.
34. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph
A. AI exposes writers’ private life.
B. AI satisfies writers’ urgent desire.
C. Writers are using AI to handle human problems.
D. AI helps writers pick and choose when shopping.
35. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. Some AI programs are created. B. Some books touch on AI themes.
C. Some books on AI will come out soon. D. Some writers are openly working with AI.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一些作家在他们的作品中对于人工智能作用的描述，甚至利用人工智能写作的情况。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“ ‘I’m frightened by artificial intelligence, but also interested in it,” she explained. Phillips said there is a hope in AI for gaining all knowledge, the understanding of everything. But at the same time, there is an “inborn terror in being replaced by non-human intelligence.’ (“我被人工智能吓坏了，但也对它很感兴趣，”她解释道。菲利普斯说，人工智能有希望获得所有知识，理解一切。但与此同时，“被非人类智慧取代的恐惧是与生俱来的”。)”可知，海伦对待人工只能既高兴又恐惧，所以是矛盾的。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Doherty used the term zeitgeist(时代精神), meaning the general ideas or spirit of a time, to describe AI. (多尔蒂用“时代精神”一词来形容人工智能，意思是一个时代的总体思想或精神。)”可推知，Doherty认为AI反映了时代的精神。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In Sierra Greer’s Annie Bot, the title character is an AI mate designed for a human male. For Greer, the book was a way to explore the character’s “urgent desire to please.” Amy Shearn’s book, Animal Instinct, has its origins in her personal life. (在Sierra Greer的《Annie Bot》中，主角是为人类男性设计的人工智能伴侣。对格里尔来说，这本书是一种探索角色的“迫切渴望取悦他人”的方式。艾米·肖恩的书《动物本能》源于她的个人生活。)” 可推知， 现在 AI 也被作家们用来处理人类的问题。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Earlier this year, Stephen Marche used AI to write the short book Death of An Author. Simon Rich worked with Brent Katz and Josh Morgenthau for I Am Code, a thriller that came out this month. (今年早些时候，Stephen Marche利用人工智能撰写了短篇小说《作者之死》。西蒙·里奇与布伦特·卡茨和乔什·摩根索合作了惊悚片《我是代码》，这部惊悚片于本月上映。)” 可知，此段主要反映了一些作家使用 AI 进行写作，即与人工智能合作。故选D。

(试着享受这些缓慢的时刻，注意到小事情，承认情况中的积极因素)”进一步解释要去享受这样慢的时刻，因此B项“It’s all right if life is slower. (生活慢一点也没关系)”符合语境，说明慢不是问题，起到过渡的作用，其中的slower与后文的slow呼应。故选B。
【37题详解】
前文“The best way to be a better person is to simply be 100% you! (成为一个更好的人的最好方法就是做100%的自己)”建议做自己，后文“Accepting yourself for who you truly are can help you feel happier, improve your life, and strengthen your identity. (接受真实的自己可以让你感觉更快乐，改善你的生活，增强你的认同感)”解释做自己的好处，因此A项“You are unique and special. (你是独一无二的)”符合语境，说明个体的独特性，承接前文的建议，引出后文的解释。故选A。
【38题详解】
前文“Comfort zones are great, but they can also discourage your self-improvement. (舒适区很好，但也会阻碍你的自我提升)”表明待在舒适区有坏处，因此G项“Trying new things that make you a little uncomfortable benefits your self-improvement. (尝试让你有点不舒服的新事物有助于你的自我提升)”符合语境，说明走出舒适区有好处，承接前文，其中的uncomfortable和前文的Comfort呼应，self-improvement在前文有同词复现。故选G。
【39题详解】
前文“Sleep, food, and exercise can give you the energy you need to be better. (睡眠、食物和运动可以给你能量，让你变得更好)”表明日常的睡眠、食物和运动的重要性，因此E项“Stick to a regular routine that’s healthy for you. (坚持对你有益的有规律的日常生活)”符合语境，建议日常生活要有规律，承接前文。故选E。
【40题详解】
空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需统领段落内容，且需和其他段首句一样使用祈使句的形式。根据后文“It’s okay if your goals don’t stay the same as you grow. The journey of self-improvement isn’t a straight path — it bends and twists when you least expect it! (如果你的目标在你成长的过程中没有保持不变，那也没关系。自我提升的旅程不是一条笔直的道路——它会在你最意想不到的时候弯曲和曲折)”可知，本段主要说明自我提升之路充满变化，不必过于介意改变，因此C项“Accept that change happens. (接受改变的发生)”符合语境，契合段落内容。故选C。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a sunny afternoon in June, 2022 when Anthony Perry stepped off the train at the station. The 20-year-old, who worked nights in a grocery store, was on his way to see his grandfather so they could go see a car Perry was thinking about buying.
On the platform, two men were fighting. Then the unthinkable happened: The pair tripped over the edge and onto the tracks. One man ended up on his back, defending himself off blows. Suddenly, he started trembling. The attacker jumped back up onto the platform and disappeared.
The man had fallen onto the third rail, the conduit (电导管) for the electricity that powers Chicago’s trains. As Perry and other horrified onlookers watched, he trembled greatly as the current flew through his body, his head bouncing up and down off the tracks.
“Help him!” a woman screamed. “Please, someone!”
Perry couldn’t just stand there and watch. He climbed down, took a few quick jumps until he was standing over the victim.
The guy looked dead. Perry wondered how he was going to escape the situation he’d just put himself into. The train he’d just gotten off was delaying, thankfully.
Gathering courage, Perry reached down and grasped the victim’s wrist. Instantly, he felt a great electric shock shoot through his body. Perry jumped back. He reached down a second time, and was shocked again. But the third time he seized the man’s wrist and, braving the shock, pulled. The guy’s body slid briefly along the third rail, coming to rest on the outer edge of the tracks.
The man was breathing, but worn out. Something wasn’t right.
“Give him chest compressions (按压)!” yelled a woman on the platform.
Perry was no expert, but for a few moments he worked on the man’s heart until the victim began shaking. Once again, Perry grabbed him, keeping him from falling back onto the third rail.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Luckily, doctors and firefighters soon arrived.

There was unexpected good news for Perry when social media reported the incident.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Luckily, doctors and firefighters soon arrived. They’d told the authorities to cut the circuit, switching off the third rail. Perry let the professionals take over. His heart still racing from the incident and the electric shocks, he climbed back up onto the platform, grabbed his things and continued on to his grandfather’s. As planned, they went to look at the car he wanted to buy, but it had been sold.
There was unexpected good news for Perry when social media reported the incident. It credited a hero without knowing his name with saving the victim’s life. After a friend outed him to the media, Perry became the toast of Chicago. Just days after the incident, a local businessman rewarded him with a car. Perry was then employed by the Chicago Fire Department and is now being trained. Out of all the people on the platform that day, why was Perry the only one to help As he sees it, he alone was not thinking about what harm might happen to him. “The word I’ll use is courage,” he says. “Courage over fear.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，讲述了六月的一个下午，年轻人Anthony Perry下了夜班，准备去拜访祖父，一同去看想要买的车。当他走下电车的时候，他看到有人因争斗而不幸从车站的站台上跌落到带电的铁轨上，身体因为触电而抽搐。在这样紧急的情况下，Perry跳下站台，站到受害者的身旁，勇敢地抵抗着触电的痛苦，拉回了受害者。此时受害人情况很糟糕，Perry只能匆忙地为他做胸部按压，让情况稍微好转一些。

Seventy miles inland from the Bering Sea, the villages of Akiachak, Akiak and Tuluksak formed the Yupiit School District. This year, this district was allowed to operate on an academic calendar according to seasonal harvests.
It starts a week later than other districts, and classes finish 10 days earlier. They make up the difference with an extra half hour of instruction each day. Students can now take part in the fall moose (驼鹿) hunt and the spring migratory bird harvest. The strategy is to pass along traditional knowledge that cannot be gained in the classroom.
On a cloudy day this June, teachers met students at a large cutting table near teacher housing near the river. Originally, the morning catch of salmon (鲑鱼) was supposed to be processed at a nearby community fish camp, but those plans were scrapped because a black bear was hanging around.
Evelyn Esmailka explained the differences between salmon and other fishes to the children. After this lesson, they boarded boats to go fishing for salmon on the river. The order of the day was making sure that every student got a chance to take part in the harvest.
Barron Sample was in charge of it. “For some of them it’s the first time actually out here on the river doing this, and the first time they’re actually pulling a net,” Sample said. The boat was one of three owned by the school district. “There’re three schools in our school district: Akiak, Tuluksak, and us, Akiachak. So, in a little competition, like, how many did you catch today ” Sample said.
While the first drift only yielded two fish, the second brought in around a dozen of various fish. The students screamed in delight as the struggling salmons were picked from the net, landing with a bang in a plastic box.
During the narrow window when fishing was allowed, the village of Akiachak felt like a deserted town. But along the river, the fish camps buzzed with activities as families processed the day’s harvest in a way that has changed little over the centuries.

When the patient arrives, it can barely move its body. The parrot tries to spread its green wings — and fails — to fly. It is just one of dozens of rainbow lorikeets (彩虹鹦鹉) being treated for a mysterious paralyzing (瘫痪) illness. Cases of what is called lorikeet paralysis syndrome (LPS) have been increasing over the past decade, says vet Claude Lacasse. But scientists are puzzled as to what is causing it.
Lacasse has partnered with several researchers to try solving the mystery. So far, they’ve ruled out hundreds of human-made chemicals as well as various infectious diseases. Their current theory is that LPS is caused by a plant the birds are eating, something that flowers or fruits between late spring and early fall — when cases always rise.
But researchers have no idea which plant or plants might be involved, why the disease is getting worse or whether climate change is playing a role. For now, the main concern is figuring out everything the sick lorikeets are eating.
Ecologist Rachele Wilson used a technique involving testing DNA in sick birds’ droppings to match it to specific plant DNA. These data suggest the birds are feeding on more than 130 plant species, at least 30 of which are potentially poisonous. Other researchers are not just looking at plant DNA but also at bacterial and animal DNA to allow for the possibility that the birds are swallowing a poisonous insect in fruit, or a poison produced by bacteria found on a plant.
It’s possible climate change plays a role by driving rainbow lorikeets to seek out unusual food sources. Animals are broadening their hunting range and going into more traditionally uninviting areas to find food, including fruit, seeds and, strangely, even meat.
With climate change causing more extreme weather events and intensely hot summers, the need to find what’s paralyzing rainbow lorikeets — and potentially other species — is of urgent concern.
“They’re amazing birds,” Phalen says. “It’s hard to see them as sick as they are.”
28. What are researchers trying to find out first
A. Why LPS is getting worse. B. Where rainbow lorikeets usually gather.
C. How human-made chemicals led to LPS. D. What lorikeets are feeding on at present.
29. What does Wilson focus on in her study
A. Collecting DNA data from specific animals.
B. Analyzing DNA in the waste of sick lorikeets.
C. Identifying DNA hidden in different plants.
D. Looking at plant, bacterial and animal DNA.
30. How does climate change possibly influence rainbow lorikeets
A. Increasing the variety of their diets.
B. Enlarging the habitats of these birds.
C. Adapting themselves to extreme weather events.
D. Forcing them to swallow a poisonous insect in fruit.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Endangered rare species in Australia
B. Strange diseases striking Australian birds
C. The mystery of Australia’s paralyzed parrots
D. The influence of climate change on animals

For many book writers, artificial intelligence(AI) is a threat to their jobs and the very idea of creativity. At the same time, AI is a story to tell, and no longer just in science fiction.
Helen Phillips is the writer of the upcoming book HUM. It tells of a wife and mother who loses her job to AI. “I’m frightened by artificial intelligence, but also interested in it,” she explained. Phillips said there is a hope in AI for gaining all knowledge, the understanding of everything. But at the same time, there is an “inborn terror in being replaced by non-human intelligence.”
Ryan Doherty is a vice president and director at Celadon Books. It recently agreed to publish Fred Lunzker’s book Sike, featuring an AI doctor of mental health. “We’ve been seeing more and more about AI in book proposals,” Doherty said. Doherty used the term zeitgeist (时代精神), meaning the general ideas or spirit of a time, to describe AI. “It’s the zeitgeist right now. And whatever is in the cultural zeitgeist gets into fiction,” Doherty said.
In Sierra Greer’s Annie Bot, the title character is an AI mate designed for a human male. For Greer, the book was a way to explore the character’s “urgent desire to please.” Amy Shearn’s book, Animal Instinct, has its origins in her personal life. She had recently divorced and began to use dating apps. “It’s so strange how, with apps, you start to feel as if you’re going person-shopping,” she said, “And I thought, wouldn’t it be great if you could really pick and choose the best parts or all these people you meet with to make your ideal person ”
Earlier this year, Stephen Marche used AI to write the short book Death of An Author. Simon Rich worked with Brent Katz and Josh Morgenthau for I Am Code, a thriller that came out this month. The AI program “code-davinci-002” created the work.
32. What’s Helen’s attitude towards AI
A. Resistant. B. Doubtful. C. Approving. D. Contradictory
33. What statement does Doherty agree to
A. AI reflects the spirit of current times. B. AI acts as a doctor of mental health.
C. Al proposes more ideas for fictions. D. Culture is a combination of general ideas.
34. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph
A. AI exposes writers’ private life.
B. AI satisfies writers’ urgent desire.
C. Writers are using AI to handle human problems.
D. AI helps writers pick and choose when shopping.
35. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. Some AI programs are created. B. Some books touch on AI themes.
C. Some books on AI will come out soon. D. Some writers are openly working with AI.

It was a sunny afternoon in June, 2022 when Anthony Perry stepped off the train at the station. The 20-year-old, who worked nights in a grocery store, was on his way to see his grandfather so they could go see a car Perry was thinking about buying.
On the platform, two men were fighting. Then the unthinkable happened: The pair tripped over the edge and onto the tracks. One man ended up on his back, defending himself off blows. Suddenly, he started trembling. The attacker jumped back up onto the platform and disappeared.
The man had fallen onto the third rail, the conduit (电导管) for the electricity that powers Chicago’s trains. As Perry and other horrified onlookers watched, he trembled greatly as the current flew through his body, his head bouncing up and down off the tracks.
“Help him!” a woman screamed. “Please, someone!”
Perry couldn’t just stand there and watch. He climbed down, took a few quick jumps until he was standing over the victim.
The guy looked dead. Perry wondered how he was going to escape the situation he’d just put himself into. The train he’d just gotten off was delaying, thankfully.
Gathering courage, Perry reached down and grasped the victim’s wrist. Instantly, he felt a great electric shock shoot through his body. Perry jumped back. He reached down a second time, and was shocked again. But the third time he seized the man’s wrist and, braving the shock, pulled. The guy’s body slid briefly along the third rail, coming to rest on the outer edge of the tracks.
The man was breathing, but worn out. Something wasn’t right.
“Give him chest compressions (按压)!” yelled a woman on the platform.
Perry was no expert, but for a few moments he worked on the man’s heart until the victim began shaking. Once again, Perry grabbed him, keeping him from falling back onto the third rail.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Luckily, doctors and firefighters soon arrived.
