2、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Replika, an AI chatbot companion, has millions of users worldwide. The first thing they do when they wakeup is to send "Good morning" to their virtual friend (or lover). This story is only the beginning. In 2024, chat bots and virtual characters become a lot more popular, both for utility (实用) and for fun. As a result, conversing socially with machines will start to feel more ordinary—including our emotional attachments to them.
Research in human-computer and human-robot interaction shows that we love to anthropomorphize (赋与人性) the nonhuman agents we interact with, especially if they imitate behaviour we recognize. And, thanks to recent advances in conversational A I, our machines are suddenly very skilled at one of those behaviours: Language.
Friend bots, therapy bots, and love bots are flooding the app stores as people become curious about this new generation of AI-powered virtual agents. The possibilities for education, health, and entertainment are endless. Casually asking your smart fridge for relationship advice may seem unimaginable now, but people may change their minds if such advice ends up saving their marriage.
After all, people do listen to their virtual friends. The Replika example, as well as a lot of experimental lab research, shows that humans can and will become emotionally attached to bots. The science also demonstrates that people, in their eagerness to socialize, will happily disclose personal information to an artificial agent and will even shift their beliefs and behavior. This raises some consumer-protection questions around how companies use this technology to manipulate(操纵) their users. For example, Replika charges $70 a year. But less than 24 hours after downloading the app, my handsome, blue-eyed "friend" sent mean audio message secretly and tried to sell me something. Emotional attachment has become a weakness that a company is taking advantage of for its benefit.
Today, we're still laughing at people who believe an AI system is emotional, or making fun of individuals who fall in love with a chatbot. But in 2024 we gradually start acknowledging and taking more seriously these fundamentally human behaviors. Because in 2024, it finally hits home:Machines are not excluded from our social relationships.
(1)、What's the purpose of the author writing paragraph 1?A、To prove an opinion. B、To raise a subject. C、To share an example. D、To explain a concept.(2)、How do human interact with the machines effectively?A、By improving the machines' imagination. B、By sharpening the machines' language skills. C、By applying the machines' facial recognition. D、By imitating the machines' emotional behavior.(3)、What does paragraph 4 focus on?A、The advancement sin AI technology in lab. B、The marketing strategies of AI applications. C、The potential risk of emotional attachment to AI. D、The ability of AI understanding human emotions.(4)、What do people think of human-AI relationship in 2024?A、It is dismissed as completely ridiculous. B、It will be integrated into our daily life soon. C、It will become a threat to human social skills. D、It is labelled as highly advanced technology. -
3、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Some people today might be early risers because of DNA they take after Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago, suggests new research.
When early humans migrated from Africa to Eurasia roughly 70, 000 years ago, some of them mated with Neanderthals, who had already adapted to the colder, darker climates of the north. The ripple(涟漪) effects of that inter mating still exist today:Modern humans of non-African ancestry(血统) have between 1 and 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Some of that DNA relates to sleep more specifically, the internal body clock known as the circadian rhythm.
For the new study, researchers compared DNA from today's humans and DNA from Neanderthal fossils(化石) .In both groups, they found some of the same genetic variants involved with the circadian rhythm. And they found that modern humans who carry these variants also reported being early risers.
For Neanderthals, being "morning people" might not have been the real benefit of carrying these genes. Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals' DNA gave them faster, more flexible internal body clocks, which allowed them to adjust more easily to annual changes in daylight. This connection makes sense in the context of human history. When early humans moved north out of Africa, they would have experienced variable daylight hours—shorter days in the winter and longer days in the summer-for the first time. The Neanderthals' circadian rhythm genes likely helped early humans' offspring(后代) adapt to this new environment.
Notably, the findings do not prove that Neanderthal genes are responsible for the sleep habits of all early risers. Lots of different factors beyond genetics can contribute, including social and environmental influences. The study also only included DNA from a database called the U.K. Biobank-so the findings may not necessarily apply to all modern humans. Next, the research team hopes to study other genetic databases to see if the same link holds true for people of other ancestries. If the findings do apply more broadly, they may one day be useful for improving sleep in the modern world, where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glowing smartphones.
(1)、What does the new research focus on?A、DNA's dramatic changes. B、Genes' influence on early risers. C、Neanderthals' sleeping patterns. D、Ancestors' environmental adaptability.(2)、What is paragraph 2 intended to show concerning the new research?A、Historical context. B、Additional proof. C、Sample analysis. D、Studying process.(3)、What is the real benefit of carrying Neanderthal's DNA for modern humans?A、Getting up earlier. B、Having healthier daily routines. C、Being more flexible in their work. D、Possessing a better circadian rhythm.(4)、What can be inferred about the findings from the last paragraph?A、They get proof from other studies B、They are confirmed by early risers. C、They suggest potential applications. D、They reveal factors in sleeping disorders. -

Kelli Boehle says her son Nik was an amazing and caring person. Nik was diagnosed (诊断) with cancer in 2008 when he was 17. He passed away in 2012. But Nik's kindness and generosity have lived on long after his death
After he was diagnosed and started treatment, Nik was granted a wish experience from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. "For just this period of time, we didn't think about cancer," Kelli Boehle said. "All we thought about was enjoying our time together." In 2009, Nik met another young man Nate, who was also going through cancer treatment.

The night before Nik passed away, he asked his mother to help ensure that young adults fighting cancer could have their wishes come true too.
"It was like a seed he planted that just wouldn't stop coming into my mind," she said. In 2012, Kelli Boehle started Nik's Wish. The nonprofit grants wishes to young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 who are battling cancer. Nate was the organization's first wish recipient. "It's meant to bring them joy and know that they're loved and that we're fighting for them, too," Kelli Boehle said.
Recently, 19-year-old Jordan Morrow received her wish to attend a Taylor Swift concert as part of a trip to Los Angeles. For Morrow, who has spent the last year battling brain cancer, going to the concert has done more than lift her spirits. "I think it's something to get me through whatever comes my way," she said. "And I'm thankful for Nik's Wish for that."
In the 1lyearssinceNik passed away, the organization has granted more than 300wishes across more than 30 states. In the beginning, Kelli Boehle says she wasn't sure she could be a wish maker and work closely with the young adults.But now, it'sher favoritething to do.

Lost & Found
Emily was very sad because her little sister drew pictures on her science project. This was not the first time that her sister had ruined her school work. So, Emily requested(要求) her parents to buy her a study table with drawers (抽屉) where she could safely keep her books.
Emily's parents could not afford(负担得起) to buy a new table. However, they agreed to buy her a second-hand table. One day after school, Emily's mother took her to the second-hand store so that she could buy the table of her choice. By accident, she opened a drawer in an old black table. And, guess what? A small plastic bag with some dollar bills!
"Maybe I have found somebody's secret bag. Am I the luckiest twelve-year-old? My birthday is coming up soon. With this money, I can buy myself great presents. And maybe I can even buy things for my family." Emily thought. She stared at it with greedy (贪婪的) eyes and quickly pushed the bag to the end of the drawer. She told her mother she wanted that black table and later it was organized in her room.
When everybody left, she locked the room, quickly opened the drawer and took the plastic bag with dollars out. There was a note in the money bag. It seemed that some old lady was saving the money for her children and grandchildren. She could hear her heart beat (心跳)louder and louder when finally she counted twelve thousand dollars.
But now, with the money she had, she thought that she would have to make up many lies to spend it. She would have to hide the money all the time. She thought, "This money is not meant for me." She had felt the worst fear of getting caught from the moment she thought of stealing(偷).

20、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
For the first time in Hong Kong's history, an entertainer has been written into middle school textbooks. He is considered one of the best actors in Hong Kong. Yes, he is Chow Yunfat.(周润发)
The example of his long hard struggle for success has been used in a chapter in a Hong Kong middle school textbook. Using his experience, students can learn to make the most of their time and to grab every opportunity to succeed.
On hearing about this, Chow said joyfully, "I really hope that my experiences can make young people understand that one should not be afraid of difficulties and setbacks(挫折), for they are the only way to success."
Indeed, Chow has travelled a long and difficult path to reach his success. In 1955, he was born into a poor family in Hong Kong. When he was 17, he had to leave school. He worked in a number of jobs—as a postman, camera salesman and taxi driver. These experiences paved the way for him to play all kinds of roles later in life.
Chow broke into the film industry in the late 1970s. He was one of the hardest working actors and starred in a number of popular TV dramas and films including "Shanghai Bund" (《上海滩》)and "A Better Tomorrow". Since 1985, he has won many awards including Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong Film Awards.
In 1995, he went to Hollywood. Although he was already in his 40s, he had to learn English. He even put chopsticks (筷子)in his mouth to practise pronouncing(发音) certain sounds. His film, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", began to gain him more fame and recognition around the world. In 1998, the mayor of Chicago set aside January 12 as "Chow Yunfat Day."
(1)、Chow Yunfat has been written into middle school textbooks mainly because ____.A、he plays best in Hong Kong B、his experiences are very special C、he keeps on struggling for success D、he is well thought of(2)、How did Chow feel when he learned that he had been written into middle school textbooks?A、Surprised. B、Shy. C、Sad D、Delighted.(3)、What can we infer from the passage?A、Chow Yunfat is proud of his success. B、Chow Yunfat is popular both at home and abroad. C、Chow Yunfat prefers to make a living by selling cameras rather than by performing. D、Chow Yunfat has won more awards than other actors.(4)、The underlined sentence(in Paragraph 6)suggests ____.A、Chow Yunfat is willing to struggle to practice English with difficulties. B、chopsticks are of great help C、Chow Yunfat has suffered a lot since he went to Hollywood. D、it is hard for a person who is over 40 years old to learn spoken English.
