School Bus Safety in the United States
Each school day, millions of children ride school buses. Do you know that the school bus is one of the safest vehicles on the road Less than 1% of all traffic deaths involve children on school transportation vehicles. However, children are more at risk when approaching or leaving a school bus. It’s important for you to understand school bus safety.
Stop for School Buses
When you see a school bus slowing down or stopping, it’s not just the bus that you need to have your eyes on — but the surrounding area, too. Children wait at least several feet away from a bus and often cross the street when they’re boarding or getting off the bus. This is why you must stop for school buses, and don’t attempt to pass.
Illegal School Bus Passing
Illegal school bus passing poses a significant threat to children and others on the road. In every state, it is illegal for you to pass a school bus while the stop-arm is extended and the red lights are flashing.
Understanding School Bus Lights
Learn the school bus laws in your state and always follow them, as well as the flashing lights that school bus drivers use to warn you.
Yellow flashing lights indicate the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. You should slow down and prepare to stop your vehicle.
Red flashing lights and extended stop-arms indicate the bus has stopped and children are getting on or off. You must stop your car and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving, before you can start driving again.
21．What should you especially pay attention to when a school bus stops
A．Its driver on duty. B．The direction in which you pass it.
C．Kids getting on or off it. D．The way to follow closely behind.
22．In which case is it legal for other vehicles to pass a stopped school bus
A．After it has moved. B．Before it begins moving.
C．While its stop-arm is extended. D．When the red lights are flashing.
23．Who is the text intended for
A．Parents. B．Drivers.
C．Teachers. D．Students.
B
For the first time in the competition’s history, two athletes are sharing a gold medal at the World Athletics Championships.
The USA’s Katie Moon and Australia’s Nina Kennedy found themselves in a difficult situation during the women’s pole vault (撑竿跳) final. They both cleared 4.90 meters, but neither managed to clear 4. 95 meters on any of their three attempts.
Kennedy says she looked at Moon and said, “Hey, girl, maybe you want to share this ”
“And the relief on her face — and you could see it on my face — and it was mutual (相互的). And yeah, absolutely incredible to share a medal with Katie Moon. You know, we’ve been friends for so long, so it’s super special,” Kennedy told reporters after the final.
Thousands of fans were on their feet at the National Athletics Centre in Budapest, Hungary, for Date 5of the competition, which hosts almost 2,000 athletes from 192 countries. The dramatic event lasted two hours and ten minutes. Katie Moon told FloTrack that as the final progressed, it became clear that very little separated the two athletes.
As the competition was going. I kept thinking. “I don’t want this to go to a jump-off (加赛),” Moon told sports journalist Anderson Emerole. “This competition was the toughest battle I’d say that I’ve had. It was very emotionally draining (消耗), and I think that’s why both of us were feeling like. ‘We’re not really feeling the jump- off right now.’”
It was Moon’s second consecutive gold medal at the World Championships. She also w on an Olympic gold in Tokyo in 2021. With a personal record of 4. 95meters. Moon appeared to be the favorite.
Kennedy, however, did not back down. Not only did she set a new personal record, but she also broke the Australian record by eight centimeters when she sailed over the 4.90-meter high bar. She held back tears after the career-defining leap.
“It was a miracle to get the gold. I think a miracle happened tonight.” Kennedy told reporters.
24．What did Nina Kennedy suggest Katie Moon do
A．Continue the competition. B．Take a break first.
C．Share the gold medal. D．Let go of the fear.
25．How did Katie Moon feel about Nina Kennedy’s proposal
A．Joyful. B．Confused. C．Mixed. D．Disappointed.
26．What can we infer about Nina Kennedy and Katie Moon
A．They felt tired physically and mentally when competing.
B．They didn’t take the competition seriously.
C．They were looking forward to a jump-off.
D．They hadn’t won a gold medal before.
27．What was the previous Australian record for the women’s pole vault
A．4.80 meters. B．4.82 meters. C．4.95meters. D．4.98 meters.

How much of your monthly grocery list ends up in the garbage A new study reveals the average American spends nearly $1,500 per year on food they’ll never eat.
A recent survey of 2,000 Americans reveals the average shopper wastes $1,493.93 on food per year. That’s almost a fifth of their grocery bill after every shopping trip. One tenth of respondents claim they “never” purchase food they don’t end up eating, while three in 10 say this is something they “always” do.
Half of respondents prefer to head to the grocery store alone, and when they do, half are more likely to stick to their list and 36% are less likely to buy food they don’t want or need.
Keeping the list in mind is important, as 38 percent are more likely to let food be wasted if it wasn’t originally on their shopping list. Seven in 10 add that when they go to the store on an empty stomach, they’re more likely to buy foods they won’t eat. So they don’t do that that way. Some respondents appear to be in a wasteful cycle when it comes to food waste. Nearly half usually buy and end up wasting the same food every month because they think they’ll get around to eating it.
“We can all do better to limit food waste by sticking to grocery lists and, when we get home, prioritizing eating our foods that are perishable, like fruits, vegetables, and dairy products” says Avocado Co-Founder and CMO Mark Abrials in a statement.
Three-quarters feel guilty about throwing away uneaten food because it’s a waste of money — and 48 percent feel the same, due to the harm food waste causes to the environment. “When it comes to food waste, nobody is perfect,” Abrials adds. “But in order to consider our environmental impact, not to mention wasted money, we think it’s essential to be thoughtful about everything we purchase — whether that’s food, mattresses or other goods.”
28．What percentage of food do people buy but never eat
A．About 10%. B．About 20%. C．About 30%. D．About 50%.
29．What is the shopping habit of the majority of respondents
A．Doing shopping alone. B．Avoiding shopping while hungry.
C．Sticking to the shopping list. D．Trying to buy fewer dairy products.
30．Which of the following can replace the underlined part “are perishable” in paragraph 5
A．Go bad easily. B．Are rich in nutrition.
C．Are easy to produce. D．Keep fresh for a long time.
31．What does Abrials want to express in the last paragraph
A．Less doing shopping means less food is wasted.
B．Treasuring food is treasuring the environment.
C．It’s worth spending more money on food safety.
D．Environment protection is as important as food.
D
Flinging brightly coloured objects around a screen at high speed is not what computers’ central processing units were designed for. So manufacturers of arcade machines invented the graphics-processing unit (GPU), a set of circuits to handle video games’ visuals in parallel to the work done by the central processor. The GPU’s ability to speed up complex tasks has since found wider uses: video editing, cryptocurrency mining and most recently, the training of artificial intelligence.
AI is now disrupting the industry that helped bring it into being. Every part of entertainment stands to be affected by generative AI, which digests inputs of text, image, audio or video to create new outputs of the same. But the games business will change the most, argues Andreessen Horowitz, a venture-capital (VC) firm. Games interactivity requires them to be stuffed with laboriously designed content: consider the 30 square miles of landscape or 60 hours of music in “Red Dead Redemption 2”, a recent cowboy adventure. Enlisting AI assistants to churn it out could drastically shrink timescales and budgets.
AI represents an “explosion of opportunity” and could drastically change the landscape of game development. Making a game is already easier than it was: nearly 13,000 titles were published last year on Steam, a games platform, almost double the number in 2017. Gaming may soon resemble the music and video industries in which most new content on Spotify or YouTube is user-generated. One games executive predicts that small firms will be the quickest to work out what new genres are made possible by AI. Last month Raja Koduri, an executive at Intel, left the chip maker to found an AI-gaming startup.
Don’t count the big studios out, though. If they can release half a dozen high-quality titles a year instead of a couple, it might chip away at the hit-driven nature of their business, says Josh Chapman of Konvoy, a gaming focused VC firm. A world of more choices also favors those with big marketing budgets. And the giants may have better answers to the mounting copyright questions around AI. If generative models have to be trained on data to which the developer has the rights, those with big back-catalogues will be better placed than startups. Trent Kaniuga, an artist who has worked on games like “Fortnite”, said last month that several clients had updated their contracts to ban AI-generated art.
If the lawyers don’t intervene, unions might. Studios diplomatically refer to AI assistants as “co-pilots”, not replacements for humans.
32．The original purpose behind the invention of the graphics-processing unit (GPU) was to ________.
A．speed up complex tasks in video editing and cryptocurrency mining
B．assist in the developing and training of artificial intelligence
C．disrupt the industry and create new outputs using generative AI
D．offload game visual tasks from the central processor
33．How might the rise of AI-gaming startups affect the development of the gaming industry
A．It contributes to the growth of user-generated content.
B．It facilitates blockbuster dependency on big studios.
C．It decreases collaboration between different stakeholders in the industry.
D．It may help to consolidate the gaming market under major corporations.
34．What can be inferred about the role of artificial intelligence in gaming
A．AI favors the businesses with small marketing budgets.
B．AI is expected to simplify game development processes.
C．AI allows startups to gain an edge over big firms with authorized data.
D．AI assistants may serve as human substitutes for studios.
35．What is this passage mainly about
A．The evolution of graphics-processing units (GPUs).
B．The impact of generative AI on the gaming industry.
C．The societal significance of graphics-processing units (GPUs).
D．The challenges generative AI presents to gaming studios.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The days when art was an Olympic sport
Did you know that creating works of art used to be an Olympic competition 36 In the first year, Walter Winans became the first and the only Olympian to win medals for both art and sports. Despite this seemingly optimistic start, the idea of the arts being included in the Olympic Games soon met with disinterest, finally resulting in the removal of the art competition from the Olympic Games.
37
The idea to include art in the Olympics came from Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who was the founder of the International Olympic Committee, which created the modern Olympics. Coubertin believed that the arts and sports were linked and was impressed by anyone who had a firm command of both a sport and an artistic discipline(项目).
Why aren’t the arts included in the Olympics today
For starters, only amateurs were allowed to compete in the arts part of the Olympics. 38 Having artists of average quality competing while only the most competent athletes were allowed to compete created a dramatic divide and gave the impression that the arts were not as important as sports.
Secondly, works of art created had to have sports as the subject matter. 39 Limiting the subjects also contributed to making the arts part of the Olympic Games boring to the general public.
Finally, one of the biggest reasons was that the arts are subjective. Sports can be judged by time and distance, making it easy to determine who is the winner. 40 This difficulty in judging a definite winner resulted in the arts part becoming a non-competitive exhibition that ran for the duration of the Olympic Games.
A．Why was art made an Olympic discipline
B．What is a discipline in the Olympic Games
C．This rule made the objects produced seem really boring.
D．The arts, on the other hand, are not quite so easy to judge
E．However, the arts part of the Olympics Games was soon abandoned
F．This means that many famous artists were banned from participating.
G．For 36 years, from 1912 to 1948, artists participated in the Olympic Games.

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。
Before seven o’clock one Saturday morning, a large crowd had already gathered at the stadium. David sat at the starting line, his gloved hands holding his wheelchair. With his heart beating, the boy wondered if he would be able to complete the race. His classmates were all there to support him. From a distance, he could see them holding up big banners (横幅) which screamed: WE ARE WITH YOU! ALL THE WAY, DAVID! Heartened, he smiled and waved back. He was not going to let them down.
Born with a severe condition that left him paralysed (瘫痪) from the waist down. At six, he underwent several surgeries to improve his condition. As a result, he was able to attend school and even took up sports to help strengthen his bones and muscles. Then, he fell in love with wheelchair racing. Unfortunately, he did not have a lot of coordination (协调) or strength but he had a will to keep going. Once, without warning, his condition took a turn for the worse and it almost destroyed his pursuit of his passion.
One day, David’s teachers encouraged him to compete alongside his non-wheelchair schoolmates. Unsure and yet grateful for the opportunity, he thought he should give it a shot. By the time the race was about to begin, the sun had risen. David was glad that he was well prepared. Adjusting the cap on his head and his gloves, David was all ready to protect himself from the heat and the strong strokes to his wheelchair. David’s eyes followed the starter who was waving a red flag. As soon as the gun was fired, David was off. The entire stadium erupted into thunderous cheers.
David pushed forward with all his strength, his hands holding the wheels the whole time for the long-distance race. His wheelchair rolled steadily out of the stadium, passing the shop houses. Despite doing everything he could to keep up with the other competitors, David fell behind.

【原文】
W: Good afternoon, boys and girls. I’m glad to share my experience in English learning with you. I hated languages at school. I just wasn’t interested in learning, so I never did my homework and I was always bottom of the class when it came to exams! Maybe it wasn’t her fault, but I really didn’t get on with my teacher. She seemed to think I was a stupid young girl. Things started to change when I got my first job, though. I spent my first two years in the Sales Department, and I had to speak English on the phone almost every day, which wasn’t easy. I didn’t really have enough time to go to class, so at first I tried to study on my own. I also persuaded an English-speaking friend to give me some private lessons and I started to make progress. I don’t know when it was exactly that I realized my English was good enough to do First Certificate, but I did... and I passed! So, I don’t hate English any more. In fact it’s made quite a big difference in my life!

School Bus Safety in the United States
Each school day, millions of children ride school buses. Do you know that the school bus is one of the safest vehicles on the road Less than 1% of all traffic deaths involve children on school transportation vehicles. However, children are more at risk when approaching or leaving a school bus. It’s important for you to understand school bus safety.
Stop for School Buses
When you see a school bus slowing down or stopping, it’s not just the bus that you need to have your eyes on — but the surrounding area, too. Children wait at least several feet away from a bus and often cross the street when they’re boarding or getting off the bus. This is why you must stop for school buses, and don’t attempt to pass.
Illegal School Bus Passing
Illegal school bus passing poses a significant threat to children and others on the road. In every state, it is illegal for you to pass a school bus while the stop-arm is extended and the red lights are flashing.
Understanding School Bus Lights
Learn the school bus laws in your state and always follow them, as well as the flashing lights that school bus drivers use to warn you.
Yellow flashing lights indicate the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. You should slow down and prepare to stop your vehicle.
Red flashing lights and extended stop-arms indicate the bus has stopped and children are getting on or off. You must stop your car and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving, before you can start driving again.
21．What should you especially pay attention to when a school bus stops
A．Its driver on duty. B．The direction in which you pass it.
C．Kids getting on or off it. D．The way to follow closely behind.
22．In which case is it legal for other vehicles to pass a stopped school bus
A．After it has moved. B．Before it begins moving.
C．While its stop-arm is extended. D．When the red lights are flashing.
23．Who is the text intended for
A．Parents. B．Drivers.
C．Teachers. D．Students.
【答案】21．C 22．A 23．B
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。在接近或离开校车时，孩子们面临的风险很大。对于所有司机来说，了解校车安全是很重要的。本文主要介绍了美国的司机需要了解的校车安全信息。
21．细节理解题。根据Stop for School Buses中的“ When you see a school bus slowing down or stopping, it’s not just the bus that you need to have your eyes on—but the surrounding area, too. Children wait at least several feet away from a bus and often cross the street when they’re boarding or getting off the bus. (当你看到一辆校车减速或停下来时，你需要关注的不仅仅是这辆校车，还有周围的区域。孩子们在离公共汽车至少几英尺远的地方等待，上下车时经常穿过街道。)”可知，校车停下来时，你要特别注意上下校车的孩子。故选C。
22．细节理解题。根据最后一段“You must stop your car and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving, before you can start driving again.(你必须停车，等到红灯停止闪烁，延长的停止臂收回，公共汽车开始行驶，然后你才能再次开车。)”可知，校车启动后，其他车辆才能超越校车。故选A。
23．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“You should slow down and prepare to stop your vehicle.(你应该减速并准备停车。)”及倒数第一段“You must stop your car and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving, before you can start driving again.(你必须停车，等到红灯停止闪烁，延长的停止臂收回，公共汽车开始行驶，然后你才能再次开车。)”可推断，本文的目标读者是司机。故选B。

For the first time in the competition’s history, two athletes are sharing a gold medal at the World Athletics Championships.
The USA’s Katie Moon and Australia’s Nina Kennedy found themselves in a difficult situation during the women’s pole vault (撑竿跳) final. They both cleared 4.90 meters, but neither managed to clear 4. 95 meters on any of their three attempts.
Kennedy says she looked at Moon and said, “Hey, girl, maybe you want to share this ”
“And the relief on her face — and you could see it on my face — and it was mutual (相互的). And yeah, absolutely incredible to share a medal with Katie Moon. You know, we’ve been friends for so long, so it’s super special,” Kennedy told reporters after the final.
Thousands of fans were on their feet at the National Athletics Centre in Budapest, Hungary, for Date 5of the competition, which hosts almost 2,000 athletes from 192 countries. The dramatic event lasted two hours and ten minutes. Katie Moon told FloTrack that as the final progressed, it became clear that very little separated the two athletes.
As the competition was going. I kept thinking. “I don’t want this to go to a jump-off (加赛),” Moon told sports journalist Anderson Emerole. “This competition was the toughest battle I’d say that I’ve had. It was very emotionally draining (消耗), and I think that’s why both of us were feeling like. ‘We’re not really feeling the jump- off right now.’”
It was Moon’s second consecutive gold medal at the World Championships. She also w on an Olympic gold in Tokyo in 2021. With a personal record of 4. 95meters. Moon appeared to be the favorite.
Kennedy, however, did not back down. Not only did she set a new personal record, but she also broke the Australian record by eight centimeters when she sailed over the 4.90-meter high bar. She held back tears after the career-defining leap.
“It was a miracle to get the gold. I think a miracle happened tonight.” Kennedy told reporters.

How much of your monthly grocery list ends up in the garbage A new study reveals the average American spends nearly $1,500 per year on food they’ll never eat.
A recent survey of 2,000 Americans reveals the average shopper wastes $1,493.93 on food per year. That’s almost a fifth of their grocery bill after every shopping trip. One tenth of respondents claim they “never” purchase food they don’t end up eating, while three in 10 say this is something they “always” do.
Half of respondents prefer to head to the grocery store alone, and when they do, half are more likely to stick to their list and 36% are less likely to buy food they don’t want or need.
Keeping the list in mind is important, as 38 percent are more likely to let food be wasted if it wasn’t originally on their shopping list. Seven in 10 add that when they go to the store on an empty stomach, they’re more likely to buy foods they won’t eat. So they don’t do that that way. Some respondents appear to be in a wasteful cycle when it comes to food waste. Nearly half usually buy and end up wasting the same food every month because they think they’ll get around to eating it.
“We can all do better to limit food waste by sticking to grocery lists and, when we get home, prioritizing eating our foods that are perishable, like fruits, vegetables, and dairy products” says Avocado Co-Founder and CMO Mark Abrials in a statement.
Three-quarters feel guilty about throwing away uneaten food because it’s a waste of money — and 48 percent feel the same, due to the harm food waste causes to the environment. “When it comes to food waste, nobody is perfect,” Abrials adds. “But in order to consider our environmental impact, not to mention wasted money, we think it’s essential to be thoughtful about everything we purchase — whether that’s food, mattresses or other goods.”
28．What percentage of food do people buy but never eat
A．About 10%. B．About 20%. C．About 30%. D．About 50%.
29．What is the shopping habit of the majority of respondents
A．Doing shopping alone. B．Avoiding shopping while hungry.
C．Sticking to the shopping list. D．Trying to buy fewer dairy products.
30．Which of the following can replace the underlined part “are perishable” in paragraph 5
A．Go bad easily. B．Are rich in nutrition.
C．Are easy to produce. D．Keep fresh for a long time.
31．What does Abrials want to express in the last paragraph
A．Less doing shopping means less food is wasted.
B．Treasuring food is treasuring the environment.
C．It’s worth spending more money on food safety.
D．Environment protection is as important as food.
【答案】28．C 29．B 30．A 31．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于食物浪费的调查结果和相关建议，向读者解释了食物浪费的现状、原因以及应对方法。
28．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“One tenth of respondents claim they “never” purchase food they don’t end up eating, while three in 10 say this is something they “always” do. (十分之一的受访者表示，他们“从不”购买最终不吃的食物，而十分之三的人表示，他们“总是”这样做)”可知，有十分之三的人表示他们买了食物却不吃。故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“Seven in 10 add that when they go to the store on an empty stomach, they’re more likely to buy foods they won’t eat. So they don’t do that that way. (十分之七的人补充说，当他们空腹去商店时，他们更有可能买到他们不会吃的食物。所以他们不会那样做)”可知，十分之七的人因为在饥饿时容易买自己不会吃的食物，而有意避免这样做。故选B。
30．词义猜测题。根据划线词组的前文“prioritizing eating our foods (优先吃我们的食物)”和后文“like fruits, vegetables, and dairy products (比如水果、蔬菜和乳制品)”可推测，因为这些食物都容易变质，所以要先吃掉。选项A“Go bad easily (容易变质)”；选项B“Are rich in nutrition (营养丰富)”；选项C“Are easy to produce (容易生产)”；选项D“Keep fresh for a long time (长时间保鲜)”。故选A。
31．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““When it comes to food waste, nobody is perfect,” Abrials adds. “But in order to consider our environmental impact, not to mention wasted money, we think it’s essential to be thoughtful about everything we purchase—whether that’s food, mattresses or other goods.”(“在食物浪费问题上，没有人是完美的，”Abrials补充道。“但为了考虑我们对环境的影响，更不用说浪费的钱，我们认为有必要考虑我们购买的每样东西——无论是食物、床垫还是其他商品。”)”可推知，Abrials认为珍惜食物就是珍惜环境。故选B。
D
Flinging brightly coloured objects around a screen at high speed is not what computers’ central processing units were designed for. So manufacturers of arcade machines invented the graphics-processing unit (GPU), a set of circuits to handle video games’ visuals in parallel to the work done by the central processor. The GPU’s ability to speed up complex tasks has since found wider uses: video editing, cryptocurrency mining and most recently, the training of artificial intelligence.
AI is now disrupting the industry that helped bring it into being. Every part of entertainment stands to be affected by generative AI, which digests inputs of text, image, audio or video to create new outputs of the same. But the games business will change the most, argues Andreessen Horowitz, a venture-capital (VC) firm. Games interactivity requires them to be stuffed with laboriously designed content: consider the 30 square miles of landscape or 60 hours of music in “Red Dead Redemption 2”, a recent cowboy adventure. Enlisting AI assistants to churn it out could drastically shrink timescales and budgets.
AI represents an “explosion of opportunity” and could drastically change the landscape of game development. Making a game is already easier than it was: nearly 13,000 titles were published last year on Steam, a games platform, almost double the number in 2017. Gaming may soon resemble the music and video industries in which most new content on Spotify or YouTube is user-generated. One games executive predicts that small firms will be the quickest to work out what new genres are made possible by AI. Last month Raja Koduri, an executive at Intel, left the chip maker to found an AI-gaming startup.
Don’t count the big studios out, though. If they can release half a dozen high-quality titles a year instead of a couple, it might chip away at the hit-driven nature of their business, says Josh Chapman of Konvoy, a gaming focused VC firm. A world of more choices also favors those with big marketing budgets. And the giants may have better answers to the mounting copyright questions around AI. If generative models have to be trained on data to which the developer has the rights, those with big back-catalogues will be better placed than startups. Trent Kaniuga, an artist who has worked on games like “Fortnite”, said last month that several clients had updated their contracts to ban AI-generated art.
If the lawyers don’t intervene, unions might. Studios diplomatically refer to AI assistants as “co-pilots”, not replacements for humans.
32．The original purpose behind the invention of the graphics-processing unit (GPU) was to ________.
A．speed up complex tasks in video editing and cryptocurrency mining
B．assist in the developing and training of artificial intelligence
C．disrupt the industry and create new outputs using generative AI
D．offload game visual tasks from the central processor
33．How might the rise of AI-gaming startups affect the development of the gaming industry
A．It contributes to the growth of user-generated content.
B．It facilitates blockbuster dependency on big studios.
C．It decreases collaboration between different stakeholders in the industry.
D．It may help to consolidate the gaming market under major corporations.
34．What can be inferred about the role of artificial intelligence in gaming
A．AI favors the businesses with small marketing budgets.
B．AI is expected to simplify game development processes.
C．AI allows startups to gain an edge over big firms with authorized data.
D．AI assistants may serve as human substitutes for studios.
35．What is this passage mainly about
A．The evolution of graphics-processing units (GPUs).
B．The impact of generative AI on the gaming industry.
C．The societal significance of graphics-processing units (GPUs).
D．The challenges generative AI presents to gaming studios.
【答案】32．D 33．A 34．B 35．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能对游戏产业带来的影响，人工智能有望简化游戏开发过程，可以被用来创造新的游戏内容，并且可能改变游戏开发的格局。小型公司可能会更快地意识到人工智能可能带来的新机遇，但大型工作室也能够利用人工智能技术来增强他们的业务。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Flinging brightly coloured objects around a screen at high speed is not what computers’ central processing units were designed for. So manufacturers of arcade machines invented the graphics-processing unit (GPU), a set of circuits to handle video games’ visuals in parallel to the work done by the central processor. (在屏幕上高速抛出色彩鲜艳的物体并不是计算机中央处理器的设计目的。因此，大型机台制造商发明了图形处理器(GPU)，这是一组电路，可以在中央处理器完成工作的同时处理视频游戏的视觉效果)”可知，发明图形处理器最初的目的是将游戏视觉任务从中央处理器中转移出来。故选D项。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Gaming may soon resemble the music and video industries in which most new content on Spotify or YouTube is user-generated. One games executive predicts that small firms will be the quickest to work out what new genres are made possible by AI. (游戏行业可能很快就会像音乐和视频行业一样，Spotify或YouTube上的大多数新内容都是用户生成的。一位游戏行业高管预测，小型公司将最快发现人工智能可能带来的新类型)”可知，人工智能游戏初创公司的崛起可能会促进用户生成内容的增长。故选A项。
34．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Every part of entertainment stands to be affected by generative AI, which digests inputs of text, image, audio or video to create new outputs of the same. (娱乐的每个部分都将受到生成式人工智能的影响，它可以消化文本、图像、音频或视频的输入，以创造相同的新输出)”和“Games interactivity requires them to be stuffed with laboriously designed content: consider the 30 square miles of landscape or 60 hours of music in “Red Dead Redemption 2”, a recent cowboy adventure. Enlisting AI assistants to churn it out could drastically shrink timescales and budgets. (游戏的互动性要求它们充满精心设计的内容：想想最近的牛仔冒险游戏《荒野大镖客2》中30平方英里的风景或60小时的音乐。招募人工智能助手来制作它可以大大缩短时间和预算)”可推知，游戏领域的人工智能有望简化游戏开发过程，节省大量的的时间和投入。故选B项。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“AI is now disrupting the industry that helped bring it into being. Every part of entertainment stands to be affected by generative AI, which digests inputs of text, image, audio or video to create new outputs of the same. But the games business will change the most (人工智能现在正在颠覆帮助它诞生的行业。娱乐的每个部分都将受到生成式人工智能的影响，它可以消化文本、图像、音频或视频的输入，以创造相同的新输出。但变化最大的将是游戏行业)”可知，文章主要围绕生成式人工智能对游戏行业的影响展开，介绍了人工智能有望简化游戏开发过程，可以被用来创造新的游戏内容，并且可能改变游戏开发的格局。小型公司可能会更快地意识到人工智能可能带来的新机遇，但大型工作室也能够利用人工智能技术来增强他们的业务。故选B项。

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The days when art was an Olympic sport
Did you know that creating works of art used to be an Olympic competition 36 In the first year, Walter Winans became the first and the only Olympian to win medals for both art and sports. Despite this seemingly optimistic start, the idea of the arts being included in the Olympic Games soon met with disinterest, finally resulting in the removal of the art competition from the Olympic Games.
37
The idea to include art in the Olympics came from Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who was the founder of the International Olympic Committee, which created the modern Olympics. Coubertin believed that the arts and sports were linked and was impressed by anyone who had a firm command of both a sport and an artistic discipline(项目).
Why aren’t the arts included in the Olympics today
For starters, only amateurs were allowed to compete in the arts part of the Olympics. 38 Having artists of average quality competing while only the most competent athletes were allowed to compete created a dramatic divide and gave the impression that the arts were not as important as sports.
Secondly, works of art created had to have sports as the subject matter. 39 Limiting the subjects also contributed to making the arts part of the Olympic Games boring to the general public.
Finally, one of the biggest reasons was that the arts are subjective. Sports can be judged by time and distance, making it easy to determine who is the winner. 40 This difficulty in judging a definite winner resulted in the arts part becoming a non-competitive exhibition that ran for the duration of the Olympic Games.
A．Why was art made an Olympic discipline
B．What is a discipline in the Olympic Games
C．This rule made the objects produced seem really boring.
D．The arts, on the other hand, are not quite so easy to judge
E．However, the arts part of the Olympics Games was soon abandoned
F．This means that many famous artists were banned from participating.
G．For 36 years, from 1912 to 1948, artists participated in the Olympic Games.
【答案】36．G 37．A 38．F 39．C 40．D
【导语】
本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了创作艺术作品是奥林匹克运动的项目的相关历史以及阐述了为什么今天的奥运会不包括艺术项目的原因。
36．根据前文“Did you know that creating works of art used to be an Olympic competition (你知道创作艺术作品曾经是一项奥林匹克竞赛吗？)”可知，此处指出创作艺术作品曾经是奥林匹克竞赛的项目。G选项“For 36 years, from 1912 to 1948, artists participated in the Olympic Games.(从1912年到1948年的36年间，艺术家们参加了奥运会。)”中指出艺术家们参加奥运会。artists与前文的creating works of art相呼应。故选G。
37．根据后文“Coubertin believed that the arts and sports were linked and was impressed by anyone who had a firm command of both a sport and an artistic discipline(项目).( Coubertin相信艺术和体育是联系在一起的，他对任何既精通体育又精通艺术的人都印象深刻。)”回答了为什么艺术会成为奥运项目。A选项“Why was art made an Olympic discipline ( 为什么艺术会成为奥运项目 )”符合语境。故选A。
38．根据前文“For starters, only amateurs were allowed to compete in the arts part of the Olympics .(首先，只有业余选手才被允许参加奥运会艺术部分的比赛。)”可知，只有业余选手才被允许参加奥运会。后文应该提到该项规定造成的影响。F选项“This means that many famous artists were banned from participating.(这意味着许多著名艺术家被禁止参加。)”指出，由于只有业余选手才被允许参加奥运会，这意味着许多著名艺术家被禁止参加。故选F。
39．根据前文“Secondly, works of art created had to have sports as the subject matter. (其次，创作的艺术作品必须以体育为题材。)”指出，创作艺术作品必须要以体育为题材，由此该项规则对作品进行了限制。C选项“This rule made the objects produced seem really boring.(这个规则让制作出来的作品看起来很无聊。)”承接前文，指出前文限定规则后导致作品看起来无聊，符合语境。故选C。
40．根据前文“Finally, one of the biggest reasons was that the arts are subjective. (最后，最大的原因之一是艺术是主观的。)”可知，由于艺术是主观的，所以很难去判定。以及“Sports can be judged by time and distance, making it easy to determine who is the winner. (运动可以用时间和距离来评判，因此很容易决定谁是赢家。)”可知，后文应该与此形成对应。D选项“The arts, on the other hand, are not quite so easy to judge.(另一方面，艺术就不那么容易判断了。)”与段首呼应的同时，与前文形成对应，符合语境。故选D。

I went on a road trip with a couple of friends from Chicago down to Houston. After six hours in the 41 , we stopped at a rest area. I went into the restroom to wash up and 42 my face.
I immediately 43 something different about the restroom. It was very 44 and there was no cracked floor or rude drawings. There were more mirrors than I was used to seeing.
As I washed up at the sink, the door opened and in 45 an elderly woman. I was 46 to see her there but she looked harmless-probably tired from hours of 47 . She stood in the doorway staring at the door, but I 48 strode (大踏步) over to the air dryer then looked myself over in one of several full-length mirrors. I gave her a polite
49 and walked out.
The bathroom door closed and that’s when I saw the 50 on the door: WOMAN. I had entered the wrong restroom. We all make 51 . Here I was thinking that this woman was dazed and confused, entering the wrong restroom, when all along it was me who was confused and making the error. I blushed in 52 and laughed at myself.
We can 53 times thinking we’re doing just fine, when in fact we are just unaware of reality. And that’s the first step to change: recognize that you’re the one 54 in the wrong bathroom. If you don’t become aware of your mistakes, how can you admit them and work on doing better Only by becoming aware of the things we need to 55 will we get more serious about correcting them.
I will remember the unforgettable road trip forever.

Before seven o’clock one Saturday morning, a large crowd had already gathered at the stadium. David sat at the starting line, his gloved hands holding his wheelchair. With his heart beating, the boy wondered if he would be able to complete the race. His classmates were all there to support him. From a distance, he could see them holding up big banners (横幅) which screamed: WE ARE WITH YOU! ALL THE WAY, DAVID! Heartened, he smiled and waved back. He was not going to let them down.
Born with a severe condition that left him paralysed (瘫痪) from the waist down. At six, he underwent several surgeries to improve his condition. As a result, he was able to attend school and even took up sports to help strengthen his bones and muscles. Then, he fell in love with wheelchair racing. Unfortunately, he did not have a lot of coordination (协调) or strength but he had a will to keep going. Once, without warning, his condition took a turn for the worse and it almost destroyed his pursuit of his passion.
One day, David’s teachers encouraged him to compete alongside his non-wheelchair schoolmates. Unsure and yet grateful for the opportunity, he thought he should give it a shot. By the time the race was about to begin, the sun had risen. David was glad that he was well prepared. Adjusting the cap on his head and his gloves, David was all ready to protect himself from the heat and the strong strokes to his wheelchair. David’s eyes followed the starter who was waving a red flag. As soon as the gun was fired, David was off. The entire stadium erupted into thunderous cheers.
David pushed forward with all his strength, his hands holding the wheels the whole time for the long-distance race. His wheelchair rolled steadily out of the stadium, passing the shop houses. Despite doing everything he could to keep up with the other competitors, David fell behind.

【答案】One possible version
Overhead, the sun continued to burn in the cloudless sky. Gradually, David felt tired and thirsty. His head felt as if it were on fire as the sun was burning through his cap, which was consuming his energy. He was beginning to feel weak. David pushed on, and the heated metal of his wheels burned into his hands. With each passing minute, he was breathing harder. Every single push also made his arms and shoulders ache badly. Despite this, he never thought of stopping.
He was determined to overcome every single challenge. Removing his cap and throwing it away, he gathered up all his strength and pushed hard forward. Just at that time, the crowd shouted again, “Go, David, go!” Then, he felt as if he were flying at an unstoppable speed. Ten minutes later, the tape was finally coming into view. Delighted and grateful, he went past the ribbon. The entire stadium was filled with victorious screams because David’s persistence paid off.
