Here we are, wrapping up 2023 in a red bow like one of the holiday presents in a TV commercial.
It was a year full of poetic discoveries for our editorial team and especially for me. I encountered so
many new-to-me poets. Diana Solis from the December 2022 issue and Joyce Mansour from the June
2023 issue are examples of this: poets with whom I was unfamiliar and who have now become part
of my daily conversation. Living in Chicago, I might have encountered Diana Solis some other way.
She is an icon of revolutionary poetry and photography. What a gift to learn, to be enthusiastic about
new poetics like I'm still in the front row of the classroom, trying to do my best.
Two truths I've learned about Chicago since moving here: Chicago is a city that holds things
close and doesn't need to show off about its riches. And there are riches everywhere -great music all
over the place, the best pizza, an embarrassment of architectures, and, of course, poetry on every
corner. Nelson Algren said every great writer must spend time in Chicago.
The final version of 2023 is from a distinguished Chicagoan, the poet and journalist Frank
Marshall Davis. When I read his work for the first time, I was struck by the truth of the poems, his
clear-eyed critique （批评）. He was a truth teller when no one wanted to listen. This issue also
includes poems of another Chicago great, Li-Young Lee. His poems taught me how to think about
romance as an engine for a poem. Multiple generations of poets have been using the man's gestures
in their love poems, often without realizing it, because even their teachers were borrowing from Li-
Young Lee too.
So maybe that is why this issue has me in my holiday feels. Poems can be for the poet and the
community concurrently, an offering of the self that indicates the care of the giver.
24. What is the occupation of the author?
A. A magazine editor. B. A news reporter.
C. A blog writer. D. A Chicagoan poet.
25. What does the author think of the year 2023?
A. Everything was new in this year. B. It was a year of poetry revolutionary.
C. New poets led the way in this year. D. It was a year of discovery and learning.
26. What impresses the author most about Chicago?
A. The great art everywhere. B. Its multicultural atmosphere.
C. The economic development. D. Its hidden music and poems.
27. Why does the author mention poets Frank Marshall Davis and Li-Young Lee?
3 / 11
A. To set examples for young poets.
B. To show the great impact of poems.
C. To promote their unique writing technique.
D. To emphasize the importance of poetry reading.
C
A wild African bird that will lead people to trees with honeycomb（蜂巢） seems to somehow
learn the distinct whistles and calls of the human foragers（觅食者） who live near them.
This bird species has far more information about what the bees are doing than humans ever
could. In Tanzania, Hadza foragers can use a special whistle to attract this bird, which will then fly
down and start leading them to honey. With its noisy chattering sound, the bird is very conspicuous.
Once the bird arrives at a tree with honey inside, it will rest near the beehive silently, seemingly not
to disturb the bees. That's the signal to the Hadza to really start searching, says Brian Wood, an
anthropologist at University of California, Los Angeles. Pretty soon, the foragers will locate the hive
and cut open the tree trunk.
It is found that the birds are more likely to show up when the familiar signal used by the locals
is being broadcast. According to the research, the birds appear 82% of the time when Hadza whistles
are being played. But they appear only 24% of the time when the researchers play the whistles
traditionally used in a different country.
This makes it clear that the birds have learned what their human neighbors do when they want
to partner up and go honey-hunting. This is a very strong result which supports the idea that there's
a learning process involved, says Wood.
But how do the birds learn? It's still unclear. What is clear is that this human-animal
communication seems to benefit both parties, and it may go back many thousands of years. When the
honeycomb is out, the birds get some of the beeswax, which they love to eat. And the human foragers
get the honey -which is an enormously important food for the Hadza. Wood has calculated that the
Hadza get about 10% of the calories in their annual diet with the help of the birds.
28. What does the underlined word conspicuous in Para. 2 mean?
A. Eye-catching. B. Care-free. C. Naughty. D. Attractive.
29. What can we know about the birds?
A. They are raised by humans. B. They help cut open the tree trunk.
4 / 11
C. They feed on honey as their annual diet. D. They can distinguish different whistles.
30. Which of the following can best describe the honey gathering?
A. A complex dilemma. B. An unfair trade.
C. A double-edged sword. D. A win-win cooperation.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The familiar signal in the forest.
B. A talented expert in hunting the bees.
C. A wonderful guide to collecting honey.
D. The human-animal communication in Tanzania.

The integration of artificial intelligence （AI） in educational technology has brought
convenience and efficiency to classrooms worldwide. However, despite these advancements, it is
crucial to recognize the significant challenges it poses to the autonomy and professional judgment of
instructors. One of the primary concerns associated with AI-driven tools in education is the
depersonalization of instruction. These tools often rely on pre-packaged digital content and
standardized solutions, leaving little room for instructors to tailor their teaching methods.
Each student possesses unique characteristics, including distinct learning styles, strengths, and
weaknesses. Instructors, armed with their wealth of experience and expertise, are best positioned to
customize their approaches to meet these individual needs. They know how to adapt to their students'
varying learning styles. However, AI-driven platforms restrict their ability to do so effectively,
resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to engage and inspire students to reach their
maximum potential.
The implications of this depersonalization are far-reaching. By diminishing（降低） the role of
instructors as facilitators of meaningful educational interactions, we run the risk of preventing the
growth of critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students.
Education should not merely focus on knowledge acquisition （习得）， but should also
develop the ability to analyze, evaluate, and apply that knowledge in real-world contexts. It should
help one's mind grow, not simply possess information. Through dynamic classroom discussions,
cooperative projects, and hands-on activities, instructors play a vital role in cultivating these essential
skills. AI-driven platforms, with their standardized solutions and automated features, are ill-equipped
5 / 11
to provide the same level of engagement and intellectual stimulation as human instructors. While AI-
driven platforms undeniably have their advantages, we must not lose sight of the importance of
preserving instructors' autonomy and the educational experience they provide.
32. Why do AI-driven tools fail to help instructors adjust their teaching methods?
A. Their solutions will be challenged
B. They don't have professional judgement.
C. Their digital content is set previously.
D. They think little of the students' autonomy.
33. What advantage do instructors have over AI-driven tools?
A. They are more professional. B. They can satisfy individual needs.
C. They have higher efficiency. D. They adopt one-size-fits-all approach.
34. In which aspect does depersonalization in education influence on students?
A. Their response in classroom discussions. B. Their ability in solving real life problems.
C. Their willingness to cooperate with others. D. Their adaptability to various learning styles.
35. What should education focus on apart from knowledge acquisition?
A. Doing cooperative projects. B. Organizing hands-on activities.
C. Developing thinking ability. D. Evaluating students' development.

The Decluttering Philosophy That Keeps Your Home Organized
When you sit at your desk, you may constantly be confronted by chaos. 36 Here an expert
shares about some useful strategies to keep our messes at bay and her decluttering philosophy -getting
rid of unnecessary possessions and distractions.
37 What becomes clutter and where your clutter collects can say a lot about what's going
on with you. Thus the first thing you should keep in mind is to understand your clutter. When you
understand the reasons behind your clutter, it's a lot easier to know what to keep and what to get rid
of.
When it comes to organizing, don't bite off more than you can chew. If you start off with too big
a goal, you might get discouraged if the job takes too long. 38 Instead, start with something less
6 / 11
challenging. You can also work within short time restrictions. All in all, setting realistic goals and
breaking tasks up into manageable portions can really help.
Once you've chosen an area to declutter, make a list of everything you have in that space. Then
comes the hardest part: figuring out what to get rid of. At this stage, please look at your items with
neutral eyes. 39 .
Admittedly, it's easy to be organized the day after decluttering, when tidiness is still top of mind.
But what happens when you come home from a trip and are too tired to unpack your luggage? Or
when you get the flu and are too sick to clean up? 40 . In other words, make a system that works
for you even when you've got to work or when you've got a cold.
A. Everyone's clutter tells a personal story.
B. So don't restore your entire garage in one afternoon.
C. The key is to create practices that can be easily maintained.
D. It can help you let go of things you don't need but feel attached.
E. Comparatively speaking, the job taking shorter time will be easier to finish.
F. At this time you may wonder how to clean up your space and keep it that way.
G. If you are worried about these situations, you can delay your decluttering schedule.

An Outdoor Trip That Speaks Louder Than A Regular Class
One day, as Jack, a science teacher, stressed the pressing need for protecting Tangerine Darters,
a kind of fish, students in his class seemed uninterested and bored. Jack continued, but his students
showed little enthusiasm.
He paused for a moment, allowing the silence to settle in the classroom. Then he went on in a
different way.
Imagine, Jack began, his voice filled with passion, the feeling of wading（趟水） through
the clear shallow waters of Pigeon River, surrounded by the gentle sunlight. Picture the colors of the
Tangerine Darters as they gracefully swim through the currents, their orange bellies （肚子） shining
like rays of sunshine, or in that moment, a Tangerine Darter in your hands, its orange belly shining
in the sunlight. He painted a vivid picture with his words. Curiosity lit in his students' eyes as they
bent forward, eager to know more.
Jack continued, The darters are very picky about their habitats. The place where they live should
be very clean, and slight pollution could drive them away or even endanger their very existence.
As Jack spoke, his passion spread quickly among his students, who started to ask questions,
wanting to know more about the Tangerine Darters. Inspired by their newfound interest, Jack had an
idea. Why not take students to the Pigeon River, where they can witness the beauty of the Tangerine
Darters firsthand?
A week later, they were on the trip to the Pigeon River in Canton, North Carolina, where the
environment was well preserved in comparison with other industrial areas.
Sunshine bounced off the Pigeon River, and cool water flowed over rocks and boulders （卵石
） ---the preferred habitat of Tangerine Darters. With Jack, it was the first time that the students had
stood in the shallow water, eager to see their target of this fish ecology class field trip.
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。
Suddenly, Jack bent and quickly caught a fish.
