When a woman bought a painting that appeared to bear the signature (签名) of N. C. Wyeth at a store in 2017 she joked that the 4-dollar item might actually be a real work by the Maine painter. Her joke was no laughing matter, and the painting is now estimated to fetch as much as $250,000 at auction (拍卖会) in September.
According to experts at Bonhams Skinner auction house, the seller unknowingly bought the work at a Savers store in Manchester, New Hampshire, while searching for frames to reuse. At that time, the Wyeth painting had been put against a wall along with mostly damaged posters and prints.
The woman took the piece home, and then made a quick Internet search but could not find any information about the work. After hanging the painting in her bedroom for several years, she eventually stored it in her study.
She rediscovered the painting this past May while doing cleaning, and this time posted images of the work on an online page titled “Things Found in Walls”, which is devoted to “stories of things you have found in walls, dug up in your backyard, or in that spare house across the street from your grandma’s”, according to the group’s description.
Comments on the post led her to contact Lauren Lewis, a former curator who worked with paintings by three generations of the Wyeths: N. C. Wyeth, his son Andrew Wyeth and his grandson Jamie Wyeth. So she did.
“After seeing the piece in person, Lewis was 99% certain it was authentic instead of a copy,” she told The Boston Globe. “While it certainly had some small scratches (划痕), it was in remarkable condition considering none of us had any idea of its journey over the last 80 years.”
Wyeth often produced cover art for publishers of periodicals and novels. The painting up for sale in September is one of four he completed for a 1939 edition of Helen Hunt Jackson’s book Ramona, originally published in 1884. In it, Wyeth painted the young title character facing her elderly mother.
4. What was the woman’s joke
A. The storekeeper was lazy and foolish.
B. The painting she bought might be valuable.
C. The signature of N. C. Wyeth was wrong.
D. The Maine painter would appear at auction.
5. How did the woman deal with the painting shortly after she got home
A. She put it in her study. B. She sold it to Lauren Lewis.
C. She sent it to her friend. D. She searched online about it.
6. What does the underlined word “authentic” in paragraph 6 mean
A. Real. B. Damaged. C. Famous. D. Stolen.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A world-famous artist in the US. B. A novel by Helen Hunt Jackson.
C. A painting getting its recognition. D. An expert going on a treasure hunt.

Clarence DeMar would train for races by running to and from his job in Boston, up to 14 miles a day. His hard work paid off. He won the 1911 Boston Marathon and competed in the next year’s Olympics.
But at the time, many people and medical experts thought prolonged (持续很久的) exercise was dangerous. A doctor, detecting a heart murmur (杂音), warned DeMar to quit the sport.
DeMar proved them all wrong—both during his lifetime and after—in ways that helped change people’s minds about the benefits of exercise.
He became one of the most noticeable distance runners of his day, competing in two more Olympics and winning the Boston Marathon a record seven times between 1911 and 1930. He kept winning races well into his 40s. The press called him “Mr. DeMarathon”.
After he died of cancer at age 70, two Boston-area experts took a look at his heart. What they found were different from all those terrifying warnings. Not only was DeMar’s heart in good shape, but his arteries(动脉) were also two to three times the size of a typical person’s — reducing the risk of a fatal blockage. As for that heart murmur the doctor warned DeMar about Experts say, “We now know that highly trained athletes often have a heart murmur, and it’s normal.”
The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1961, made the front page of The Boston Globe. “It was one of those first studies that taught us that the human body can really handle, very healthfully, lots and lots of exercise,” said Dr. Aaron Baggish, a professor at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland and the former medical director of the Boston Marathon.
The popularity of running exploded in the decades after DeMar’s death, as further research backed that up. It’s now well-established that regular exercise makes us healthier and prolongs our lives.
The current national guidelines recommend at least two and a half to five hours of moderate exercise like walking each week, or an hour and fifteen minutes to two and a half hours of vigorous activity like running—and research suggests more is generally better.
8. Why did the doctor advise DeMar to give up prolonged exercise
A. He was in poor health. B. He had a heart murmur.
C. He must focus on his job. D. He was unable to finish it.
9. What was DeMar’s attitude to the doctor’s warning
A. Favorable. B. Worried. C. Mistrustful. D. Unclear.
10. What did the two Boston experts find about DeMar
A. His heart was in bad shape. B. He died from too much exercise.
C. He suffered from artery blockage. D. He benefited from lots of exercise.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. Advice on exercise. B. Several forms of exercise.
C. The advantages of walking. D. The purpose of the research.
D
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools designed to operate at human levels have greatly expanded in popularity over the past year. These include OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Bard and Microsoft’s AI-powered search engine Bing. Such tools, also known as chatbots or generative AI, are computer-powered systems. They are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work.
In recent months, these tools have demonstrated an ability to produce high-quality work. This has led some technology experts to warn that generative AI systems could end up replacing workers in many industries.
This year, researchers at Harvard Business School and other organizations carried out an experiment. It aimed to test how well AI tools could help workers perform their usual duties or tasks. It involved more than 700 business advisors, called consultants, from Massachusetts-based Boston Consulting Group.
Harvard Business School recently published the results from the experiment in a working paper. The main findings suggest that AI tools like ChatGPT can greatly improve worker performance. For example, researchers found that, on average, workers who used OpenAI’s latest ChatGPT 4 tool completed 12 percent more tasks than non-ChatGPT users. Tasks carried out with help from the AI technology were completed 25 percent faster. And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using ChatGPT 4 increased by about 40 percent.
However, the paper also noted areas where the performance of consultants using ChatGPT 4 dropped. The researchers said this was especially true with tasks the AI tool was not good at completing. “Of tasks the AI was good at, the experiment showed it significantly improved human performance,” the paper said. “But for tasks ChatGPT 4 was not right for, humans relied too much on the AI and were more likely to make mistakes.”
The team suggests one of the biggest barriers to companies effectively using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology. Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts in order to find the right mix of AI and human-level work.
12. What is a purpose of designing AI tools according to the text
A. To perform low-level writing. B. To replace technology experts.
C. To finish high-quality work. D. To improve interpersonal communication.
13. Why does the author mention ChatGPT 4 in paragraph 4
A. To explain the disadvantages of AI tools.
B. To show how well AI tools could help workers.
C. To forecast changes in the future working environment.
D. To compare the work performance between humans and AI tools.
14. What can be learned from the last paragraph
A. Companies need to balance the work of AI and humans.
B. It is useless to train so many workers to learn to use AI.
C. It is easy to find the right mix of AI and human-level work.
D. Research on using AI effectively has been made by businesses.
15 What is the best title for the text
A. ChatGPT Can See, Hear and Speak Now
B. Ways to Improve Your Performance at Work
C. The Fast Development of Artificial Intelligence
D. AI Tools Help but also Harm Worker Performance

The medals don’t mean anything and the glory doesn’t last. It’s all about your happiness. The rewards are going to come but my happiness is just loving the sport and having fun performing.
—Jackie Joyner-Kersee
Today I am going to share my experience that is related to the quote that I just read. It all started last year when the drawing competition took place. I really wanted to win it and get the trophy(奖杯)of the best artist, so I started working really hard on my weak points in drawing and I started to plan on how I could win the trophy. I spent so many hours working on it that the time flew really fast.
Finally the big day came. I was so excited but nervous at the same time. I just hoped my plans would work to make me good enough to win the trophy and the competition.
I went to the hall where we had to draw. I saw my best friend so I waved to her and she waved back. When the drawing competition started, I drew what I needed to draw in the place and I was feeling very confident that I would finally get the trophy of the best artist.
Then came the day when they called out the winner. I was so confident to get the prize that I didn’t even bother to hear who was getting it because I knew I would be the one to get it. Then I heard my friend’s name being called and this shocked me so much.
How could she get it and not me I congratulated her and went home making sure nobody saw how sad I was. I was happy for my friend but I was very disappointed at the same time, so I did something that I usually do when I am sad or disappointed—read a book.
注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I saw a book with some moral stories, which gave me a lot of inspiration.

When a woman bought a painting that appeared to bear the signature (签名) of N. C. Wyeth at a store in 2017, she joked that the 4-dollar item might actually be a real work by the Maine painter. Her joke was no laughing matter, and the painting is now estimated to fetch as much as $250,000 at auction (拍卖会) in September.
According to experts at Bonhams Skinner auction house, the seller unknowingly bought the work at a Savers store in Manchester, New Hampshire, while searching for frames to reuse. At that time, the Wyeth painting had been put against a wall along with mostly damaged posters and prints.
The woman took the piece home, and then made a quick Internet search but could not find any information about the work. After hanging the painting in her bedroom for several years, she eventually stored it in her study.
She rediscovered the painting this past May while doing cleaning, and this time posted images of the work on an online page titled “Things Found in Walls”, which is devoted to “stories of things you have found in walls, dug up in your backyard, or in that spare house across the street from your grandma’s”, according to the group’s description.
Comments on the post led her to contact Lauren Lewis, a former curator who worked with paintings by three generations of the Wyeths: N. C. Wyeth, his son Andrew Wyeth and his grandson Jamie Wyeth. So she did.
“After seeing the piece in person, Lewis was 99% certain it was authentic instead of a copy,” she told The Boston Globe. “While it certainly had some small scratches (划痕), it was in remarkable condition considering none of us had any idea of its journey over the last 80 years.”
Wyeth often produced cover art for publishers of periodicals and novels. The painting up for sale in September is one of four he completed for a 1939 edition of Helen Hunt Jackson’s book Ramona, originally published in 1884. In it, Wyeth painted the young title character facing her elderly mother.
4. What was the woman’s joke
A. The storekeeper was lazy and foolish.
B. The painting she bought might be valuable.
C. The signature of N. C. Wyeth was wrong.
D. The Maine painter would appear at auction.
5. How did the woman deal with the painting shortly after she got home
A. She put it in her study. B. She sold it to Lauren Lewis.
C. She sent it to her friend. D. She searched online about it.
6. What does the underlined word “authentic” in paragraph 6 mean
A. Real. B. Damaged. C. Famous. D. Stolen.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A world-famous artist in the US. B. A novel by Helen Hunt Jackson.
C. A painting getting its recognition. D. An expert going on a treasure hunt.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“When a woman bought a painting that appeared to bear the signature (签名) of N. C. Wyeth at a store in 2017, she joked that the 4-dollar item might actually be a real work by the Maine painter. Her joke was no laughing matter, and the painting is now estimated to fetch as much as $250,000 at auction (拍卖会) in September. (2017年，一名女子在一家商店买了一幅似乎有N. C.

Clarence DeMar would train for races by running to and from his job in Boston, up to 14 miles a day. His hard work paid off. He won the 1911 Boston Marathon and competed in the next year’s Olympics.
But at the time, many people and medical experts thought prolonged (持续很久的) exercise was dangerous. A doctor, detecting a heart murmur (杂音), warned DeMar to quit the sport.
DeMar proved them all wrong—both during his lifetime and after—in ways that helped change people’s minds about the benefits of exercise.
He became one of the most noticeable distance runners of his day, competing in two more Olympics and winning the Boston Marathon a record seven times between 1911 and 1930. He kept winning races well into his 40s. The press called him “Mr. DeMarathon”.
After he died of cancer at age 70, two Boston-area experts took a look at his heart. What they found were different from all those terrifying warnings. Not only was DeMar’s heart in good shape, but his arteries(动脉) were also two to three times the size of a typical person’s — reducing the risk of a fatal blockage. As for that heart murmur the doctor warned DeMar about Experts say, “We now know that highly trained athletes often have a heart murmur, and it’s normal.”
The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1961, made the front page of The Boston Globe. “It was one of those first studies that taught us that the human body can really handle, very healthfully, lots and lots of exercise,” said Dr. Aaron Baggish, a professor at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland and the former medical director of the Boston Marathon.
The popularity of running exploded in the decades after DeMar’s death, as further research backed that up. It’s now well-established that regular exercise makes us healthier and prolongs our lives.
The current national guidelines recommend at least two and a half to five hours of moderate exercise like walking each week, or an hour and fifteen minutes to two and a half hours of vigorous activity like running—and research suggests more is generally better.
8. Why did the doctor advise DeMar to give up prolonged exercise
A. He was in poor health. B. He had a heart murmur.
C. He must focus on his job. D. He was unable to finish it.
9. What was DeMar’s attitude to the doctor’s warning
A. Favorable. B. Worried. C. Mistrustful. D. Unclear.
10. What did the two Boston experts find about DeMar
A. His heart was in bad shape. B. He died from too much exercise.
C. He suffered from artery blockage. D. He benefited from lots of exercise.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A Advice on exercise. B. Several forms of exercise.
C The advantages of walking. D. The purpose of the research.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了Clarence DeMar通过努力改变了人们对运动好处的看法，他成为他那个时代最引人注目的长跑运动员之一。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A doctor, detecting a heart murmur (杂音), warned DeMar to quit the sport.(一名医生发现DeMar有心脏杂音，警告他退出这项运动)”可知，医生检查出DeMar的心脏有杂音，所以建议他放弃长时间的锻炼。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“DeMar proved them all wrong—both during his lifetime and after—in ways that helped change people’s minds about the benefits of exercise.( DeMar在他有生之年和之后都证明了他们都是错误的，这帮助改变了人们对运动好处的看法)”可推知，DeMar对于医生的警告持“不信任”的态度。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Not only was DeMar’s heart in good shape, but his arteries(动脉) were also two to three times the size of a typical person’s — reducing the risk of a fatal blockage.(DeMar不仅心脏状况良好，而且他的动脉也有正常人的两到三倍大，从而降低了发生致命阻塞的风险)”可知，两位波士顿专家发现，DeMar得益于大量的锻炼。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The current national guidelines recommend at least two and a half to five hours of moderate exercise like walking each week, or an hour and fifteen minutes to two and a half hours of vigorous activity like running—and research suggests more is generally better.(目前的国家指南建议每周至少进行2.5到5小时的适度运动，比如散步，或者进行1小时15分钟到2个半小时的剧烈运动，比如跑步——研究表明，运动时间越长越好)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是关于运动的一些建议。故选A。

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools designed to operate at human levels have greatly expanded in popularity over the past year. These include OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Bard and Microsoft’s AI-powered search engine Bing. Such tools, also known as chatbots or generative AI, are computer-powered systems. They are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work.
In recent months, these tools have demonstrated an ability to produce high-quality work. This has led some technology experts to warn that generative AI systems could end up replacing workers in many industries.
This year, researchers at Harvard Business School and other organizations carried out an experiment. It aimed to test how well AI tools could help workers perform their usual duties or tasks. It involved more than 700 business advisors, called consultants, from Massachusetts-based Boston Consulting Group.
Harvard Business School recently published the results from the experiment in a working paper. The main findings suggest that AI tools like ChatGPT can greatly improve worker performance. For example, researchers found that, on average, workers who used OpenAI’s latest ChatGPT 4 tool completed 12 percent more tasks than non-ChatGPT users. Tasks carried out with help from the AI technology were completed 25 percent faster. And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using ChatGPT 4 increased by about 40 percent.
However, the paper also noted areas where the performance of consultants using ChatGPT 4 dropped. The researchers said this was especially true with tasks the AI tool was not good at completing. “Of tasks the AI was good at, the experiment showed it significantly improved human performance,” the paper said. “But for tasks ChatGPT 4 was not right for, humans relied too much on the AI and were more likely to make mistakes.”
The team suggests one of the biggest barriers to companies effectively using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology. Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts in order to find the right mix of AI and human-level work.
12. What is a purpose of designing AI tools according to the text
A. To perform low-level writing. B. To replace technology experts.
C. To finish high-quality work. D. To improve interpersonal communication.
13. Why does the author mention ChatGPT 4 in paragraph 4
A. To explain the disadvantages of AI tools.
B. To show how well AI tools could help workers.
C. To forecast changes in the future working environment.
D. To compare the work performance between humans and AI tools.
14. What can be learned from the last paragraph
A. Companies need to balance the work of AI and humans.
B. It is useless to train so many workers to learn to use AI.
C. It is easy to find the right mix of AI and human-level work.
D. Research on using AI effectively has been made by businesses.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. ChatGPT Can See, Hear and Speak Now
B. Ways to Improve Your Performance at Work
C. The Fast Development of Artificial Intelligence
D. AI Tools Help but also Harm Worker Performance
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D

【答案】One possible version:
A First Aid Experience
Last Sunday Tom’s left foot got injured on our way to climbing a hill and he was in desperate need of help. Facing it, I dialed 120 without delay and performed first aid before the doctors came instead of getting into a panic. Having put his left foot in a comfortable position, I rushed to a shop to buy bags of ice, carefully applying the ice to the swelling to ease the pain. Eventually, I wrapped the injury loosely with a clean and dry bandage. Ten minutes later, an ambulance arrived and took Tom to the hospital.
Only then was I aware of what a difference a basic knowledge of first aid could make, especially in such a case.

The medals don’t mean anything and the glory doesn’t last. It’s all about your happiness. The rewards are going to come but my happiness is just loving the sport and having fun performing.
—Jackie Joyner-Kersee
Today I am going to share my experience that is related to the quote that I just read. It all started last year when the drawing competition took place. I really wanted to win it and get the trophy(奖杯)of the best artist, so I started working really hard on my weak points in drawing and I started to plan on how I could win the trophy. I spent so many hours working on it that the time flew really fast.
Finally the big day came. I was so excited but nervous at the same time. I just hoped my plans would work to make me good enough to win the trophy and the competition.
I went to the hall where we had to draw. I saw my best friend so I waved to her and she waved back. When the drawing competition started, I drew what I needed to draw in the place and I was feeling very confident that I would finally get the trophy of the best artist.
Then came the day when they called out the winner. I was so confident to get the prize that I didn’t even bother to hear who was getting it because I knew I would be the one to get it. Then I heard my friend’s name being called and this shocked me so much.
How could she get it and not me I congratulated her and went home making sure nobody saw how sad I was. I was happy for my friend but I was very disappointed at the same time, so I did something that I usually do when I am sad or disappointed—read a book.

After reading this story. I finally understood why I didn’t win the competition.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I saw a book with some moral stories, which gave me a lot of inspiration. One of the stories was about a man who wanted to become the best farmer in his village, so he worked hard every day. However, despite his efforts, he wasn’t able to produce the best crops like his neighbor. At first, he was sad and jealous, but later he realized that his neighbor had been farming for many years and had a lot more experience than him. Therefore, he decided to learn from his neighbor and keep improving his farming skills. In the end, he became a successful farmer.
After reading this story, I finally understood why I didn’t win the competition. I realized that my friend had been practicing drawing for a long time and had a natural talent for it. Although I had worked hard, I still needed to improve my skills and learn from others. Moreover, I also realized that winning wasn’t everything. Participating in the competition and enjoying the process was more important than just getting a trophy. From then on, I continued to practice drawing and learn from others, and I no longer cared too much about winning or losing.
