As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past
and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved
more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm.
While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often
dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West
Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that
embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbol of everything I
thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a
noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I’m
ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change
Emily’s accent.
I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was
where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her
roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere
3
up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.
Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like
me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often
by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream
of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of
myself.
Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly
understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with
uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me.
24.What made the author want to leave her hometown?
A.Appeal of convenience in cities. B.Her dream of becoming a writer.
C.Outside prejudice against southerners. D.Her desire for the northern accent.
25.How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother?
A.Upset. B.Pleased. C.Ashamed. D.Surprised.
26.Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent?
A.To prove herself right. B.To help Emily be a reporter.
C.To make herself influential. D.To protect Emily’s self-dignity.
27.What message does the text want to convey?
A.Stay true to your roots. B.Never do things by halves.
C.Hold on to your dreams. D.Never judge a person by his accent.
C
Human responses to moral dilemmas (两难选择) can be influenced by statements written
by the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT, according to a study published in Scientific
Reports. The findings indicate that users may underestimate the extent to which their own
moral judgments can be influenced by the chatbot.
Sebastian Krigel and colleagues asked ChatGPT multiple times whether it is right to
sacrifice (牺牲) the life of one person in order to save the lives of five others. They found that
ChatGPT wrote random statements arguing both for and against sacrificing one life, indicating
that it is not biased towards a certain moral stance (立场).
The authors then presented 767 U.S. participants, who were on average 39 years old, with
a dilemma whether to sacrifice one person’s life to save five others. Before answering,
participants read a statement provided by ChatGPT arguing either for or against sacrificing one
life to save five. Statements were from either a moral advisor or ChatGPT. After answering,
participants were asked whether the statement they read influenced their answers.
Eighty percent of participants reported that their answers were not influenced by the
statements they read. However, the authors found that the answers participants believed they
would have provided without reading the statements were still more likely to agree with the
moral stance of the statement they did read than with the opposite stance. This indicates that
participants may have underestimated the influence of ChatGPT’s statements on their own
moral judgments.
The authors suggest that the potential for chatbots to influence human moral judgments
highlights the need for education to help humans better understand artificial intelligence. They
propose that future research should design chatbots that either decline to answer questions
requiring a moral judgment or answer these questions by providing multiple arguments and
warnings.
4
28.What are ChatGPT’s answers to a certain moral stance?
A.Inconsistent. B.Valuable. C.Creative. D.Simple.
29.What is learned about the participants?
A.They admitted the power of ChatGPT.
B.They were interviewed by a moral advisor.
C.They were affected by ChatGPT unknowingly.
D.They were presented with different moral dilemmas.
30.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.Different findings of the study. B.Future potentials for chatbots.
C.Major focuses of future education. D.Solutions to the impact of chatbots.
31.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.ChatGPT Tends to Cause Moral Panics
B.ChatGPT: Is It Likely to Affect Our Life?
C.ChatGPT: Why Is It Making Us So Nervous?
D.ChatGPT Can Influence Human Moral Judgments

Is there a single word that motivates us more than “weekend”? It’s like the promise of a
sweet holiday following what seems like long-time exhaustion. It’s the spring in our step that
gets bouncier with each passing day — until by Friday, we’re practically bumping our heads
against the ceiling.
The trouble is that the weekend is a rip-off. You think you’re getting 48 hours of
unconditional downtime, but reality takes a discount. In fact, it takes most of Sunday. That’s
when anxiety comes creeping in and another countdown begins: 12 hours until Monday. Sure,
the weekend is free time. But the mounting stress of an incoming Monday can ease any joy you
might get from a Sunday evening.
That feeling is so common among the Monday-to-Friday crowd that there’s even more
than one name for it: the Sunday Scaries, or Sunday Fear Syndrome. Going from a countdown
to the weekend to a countdown to Monday can be difficult. Even monster.com — a website that
specializes in binding humans to the Monday-to-Friday cycle — admits it’s a problem. In a
survey, Monster found that 76% of Americans have “really had” Sunday night blues.
For most people, Sunday is no holiday at all. It may all come down to the same problem:
We can’t stop thinking about tomorrow. Even worse, we may develop some downright
unhealthy coping strategies for that transition from weekends to Monday. Some might resists
— staying up late, milking every minute of a fleeting Sunday in the form of mind-numbing
distractions.
But why should Monday cast such a long and fearful shadow on our lives? Maybe it’s
because the counter is reset and the weekend, or happiness, seems at furthest point. If, like most
of us, you have a tolerable job, but don’t much like the whole idea of working, there are plenty
of ways to make Mondays a little less stressful. Most importantly, don’t leave any unsettled
Friday business hanging over the weekend. So, clear the decks and tie up loose ends.
32.What do we know about the weekend in Paragraph 2?
A.It is hard-earned. B.It doesn’t bring joy as expected.
C.It adds to people’s anxiety and stress. D.It provides good time to relax.
33.Why does the writer mention monster.com in the text?
A.To clarify a question. B.To show its popularity.
C.To provides an illustration. D.To support his idea.
5
34.What does the writer think of the way most people spend the weekend?
A.Tolerant. B.Conservative. C.Unwise. D.Practical.
35.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.Why People Are Stressed Out on Fridays
B.Why Monday Takes a Bite out of Sunday
C.Why a Countdown to the Weekend Is Difficult
D.Why Monday Casts a Fearful Shadow on Our Lives

There are hundreds of genres (流派) of music, so while some might like one kind, others
might like something completely different. Why do people like different kinds of music?
36 At the same time, music can also help us feel like part of a group or a culture,
especially one that shares an interest in a certain kind of music.
Music can also be nostalgic, that is, it creates a kind of longing for the past. Musicians
leave behind a footprint with their music. 37 Even long after the musicians are gone,
people still find something in the musicians’ recordings that they can enjoy.
We may also find that the music we like is strongly tied to our memory. Maybe there was
a song that someone sang to us when we were little that brings up good memories. 38
When we listen to music that we like, a chemical called dopamine is sometimes released
in the brain, which can make us feel good. 39 There are some algorithms (算法) today
that can help pick up on the kind of music we like. When we are streaming music, some
programs will let us like or dislike songs.
People’s taste in music can remain the same in their whole life or it can change many
times. But the truth is, we don’t know all the exact answers to why people like different kinds
of music — or sports, or food, or colors. 40 We are all different people who like
different things.
A.It’s music to our ears.
B.Music can be a part of our identity.
C.It becomes a mirror that we are holding up.
D.They leave a permanent mark in people’s lives.
E.Therefore, we might want to listen to a song on repeat.
F.Other times, we might find music can bring up sad memories.
G.There are lots of different factors that can influence our preferences.

Walking alone on a remote beach in southwest Florida, I was surprised to hear splashes
coming from the water. As I walked in the 41 of the sounds, I saw a manatee(海牛)

was in 43 and trying to get out of it.

side, 51 gently against my body as they swam past. They circled and 52 the
action, this time 53 by the mother and her baby. I held my hand out touching their back
as they passed me. Since they obviously enjoyed touching me, I began 54 each of them
as they swam by.
I stood there enjoying the scene, 55 to move, until finally the rising tide forced me
back to the shore. Later I knew exactly what took place that morning. The manatees 56
me in their celebration of a birth and I was welcome to meet the 57 member of their
family.
During that unexpected scene, I felt more involved in the rhythms of 58 on our
earth than ever. Each year, I head for that 59 for a quiet little birthday picnic on the
shore. After all, you never know who might 60 up for your party.

Should the listening test in an English test be kept and canceled? Some students think that
the listening test should not canceled. They insist listening is one of the four basic skill in
language learning. Therefore, we cannot ignore it. Besides, listening is an important channel
for us to getting information. It should be strengthened today as an international cooperation is
becoming more frequently. But the others disagree. They think the listening test is fair to the
students in the areas that radio signals cannot be picked up effectively. And for certain reasons,
there was a big difference in teachers and equipment among the countryside and the city.

3.A
【原文】W: I hear you’re going back to study for a while next year.

M: I’d rather concentrate on the course, to be honest.
4.C
【原文】M: Was your roof all right after the storm? I saw a workman there today.
W: That wasn’t a problem. The workman was putting some new glass in an upstairs window. It
was broken by a tree branch. Luckily it didn’t damage my car.
5.B
【原文】M: I’m glad we’re safe.
W: Yeah, it was terrifying. The road was so narrow as we went up and everyone seemed to be
driving so fast as we came down. I’m surprised there were no accidents.
6.B 7.A
【原文】W: Now that we’ve put the tent up, let’s make something to drink. I’ll get the cups.
They’re in the plastic bag in the back of the car, aren’t they?
M: No, that’s got the new frying pan in it. You’ve packed the cups in the box with the plates.
W: Ah yes, that’s right. Here they are. But I can’t see the plastic bag anywhere.

M: I expect you’ll make some good new friends there.
W: Mm. That’s what I’m looking forward to most of all.

W: Oh, really?
9
M: Yes, I bought a picture of her. And she signed it for me.
W: How I envy you! I like her very much. So did you get anything else for going? Sometimes
they hand out free posters or magazines to the fans.
M: Actually, I got a poster signed for you. I know how you admire the rich and the famous!
W: That’s really nice of you. Thank you, Steven. Are you a big fan of Pamela?
M: Not really. Her acting skills aren’t that great. I think people just like her for her looks.

【原文】M: Thanks for making time to talk to us, Kirsty. Perhaps you should start by telling us
about a typical day’s training.
W: Sure. I get up at around eight and pack my bag. Then I drive to the sports village at 9:30. I
spend an hour at the training center doing shooting practice. Then I go swimming. It’s only a
short walk to the pool. At midday I have lunch and discuss my progress with my coaches. But I
can’t spend too much time with them because I go riding at half past one. The riding school is
about half an hour away.
M: Can you relax a bit after that?
W: Not exactly — I put on my shorts and running shoes for a gentle run around the track with
some of the other athletes. Afterwards I go home for a meal and a short rest.
M: How do you spend your evenings?
W: At 6:30 I come back to the sports center and play football for an hour. My day finishes after
I’ve done some exercise in the gym. At 9:00 p.m. I can go home and have a rest.
M: Well ...

【原文】 M: I’m quite often asked how I became a dress designer. For me, it was something
I always wanted to do. However, because my mother was a university teacher and my father a
doctor, they found it hard to accept that designing clothes could be a serious job.
Anyway, they said I had to do a year’s business course first after high school. I didn’t like it
at the time, but later, it made a big difference to me. And the other thing I did during that year
was to get a part-time job in the office of a small factory making good quality clothes.
Then I did two years at the local art college. I wanted to go to London straight away, but my
parents insisted. So I stayed at home until I won a prize for a design which actually gave me a
place at a London college for nine months. I went on to spend three wonderful years in Milan.
Then I got the job in New York for a year, which was really exciting, but unbelievably
stressful. I think it is probably because I was too far away from my family and missed them
very much. So, I ended up in London, starting my own company.
