1、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。
Students have submitted more than 22 million papers that may have used generative AI in the past year, new data provided by plagiarism (剽窃) detection company Turnitin shows.
A year ago, Turnitin introduced an AI writing detection tool that was trained on its database of papers written by students as well as other AI-generated texts. Turnitin found that 11 percent of the submissions may contain AI-written language in 20 percent of its content, with 3 percent of the total papers reviewed having 80 percent or more AI writing.
ChatGPT's launch was met with fears that the English class essay would die. The chatbot can process information near-instantly—but that doesn't mean it always gets it right. Generative AI has been known to create its own facts and cite academic references that don't actually exist. Generative AI chatbots have also been caught producing discriminatory (歧视性的) text on gender and race. Despite those disadvantages, students have used chatbots for research, and organizing ideas. Traces of chatbots have even been found in published academic writing.
Detecting the use of generative AI is tricky. It's not as easy as marking plagiarism, because generated text is still original text. Plus, there's a slight difference to how students use generative AI; some may ask chatbots to write their papers for them in large parts or in full, while others may use the tools as an aid or a brainstorm partner.
Detection tools themselves have a risk of discrimination. English language learners may be more likely to set them off; a 2023 study found a
61.3 percent false positive rate when evaluating Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exams with seven different AI detectors.
"This is hard. I understand why people want a tool," says Emily Isaacs, executive director of the Office of Faculty Excellence at Montclair State. But Isaacs says the university is concerned about potentially discriminatory results from AI detectors, as well as the fact that the tools can't provide confirmation the way they can with plagiarism.
(1)、What did Turnitin find?A、All submitted papers were written by generative AI. B、AI wrote 80% of the content of the papers they had collected. C、AI could only be used to improve language instead of content of papers. D、AI may have created one fifth of the content among 11% of the submitted papers.(2)、What can we learn about generative AI?A、It sometimes produces discriminatory content. B、It will surely lead to the death of English class essays. C、It's getting popular for its accuracy and quick response. D、It has been officially accepted in published academic writing.(3)、What do Paragraphs 4-5 mainly focus on?A、The ways to detect plagiarism in paper writing. B、The challenges of using plagiarism detection tools. C、The differences between plagiarism and original writing. D、The advantages of applying AI detectors to fighting plagiarism.(4)、How does Emily Isaacs respond to the use of detection tools?A、She supports it. B、She's against it. C、She doesn't care. D、She's cautious. -
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。
As my wife puts it, "Animals have overtaken our lives."
I was on the air last week when Daisy, our dog, ate a bittersweet chocolate bar heartily. We hide chocolate from her; it can be dangerous for dogs. But Daisy is the Hercule Poirot of hidden sweets. An empty wrapper in her mouth told the tale.
Our family rushed Daisy to a vet clinic, where—well, I'll spare you the details. Daisy is fine now, but our hearts are just restarting.
We are also caring for a huge, white cat we've named Gato Blanco. He claws furniture on his hind (后部的) legs, like Catzilla tearing down a Tokyo bridge. Every chair in our apartment is now covered with sheets, towels, or plastic wrap. We keep a window open, no matter the weather, because one of our daughters is allergic to cats. But she wants to keep Gato close, even as he knocks photos, flowers, pens and my microphone off tables, with a smart forehand.
Our feline lodger (猫科房客) also climbed onto a planter outside our apartment and strolled over to the other side of the building, seven floors up. Is that Spider-Man? No—it's Gato!
Daisy the dog sits beneath our dinner table, quivering and blinking her large, dewy eyes. Some of us may let a few pieces of food fall her way from time to time. We can't let her get too excited, though, because she has a tendency to... well, more details to spare. We keep towels handy for such episodes of excitement.
Gato Blanco, meanwhile, leaps onto our table. But not to eat, just to hang with the cool kids, our daughters. "Hey, how was your day," I imagine him saying. "We gonna watch something after dinner?"
Our family may complain as we sneeze, mop, and search the floor for our missing pens. But we also hold our animals close as they help us laugh, marvel, and care for them, and for each other. Our lives have been overtaken by our animals. And we're having a troublesome and wonderful time.
(1)、What do we know about Daisy?A、She is allergic to cats. B、She has a heart problem. C、She doesn't get excited easily. D、She is good at finding sweets.(2)、What can Gato do?A、Fly like Spider-Man. B、Make a mess of the room. C、Talk like a real human. D、Tear down a Tokyo bridge.(3)、Which of the words can best describe the writer's feeling towards their animals?A、Bittersweet. B、Concerned. C、Content. D、Depressed.(4)、What is the purpose of the text?A、To warn readers against keeping pets at home. B、To give advice on what species of animals to buy. C、To share their stories and feelings about keeping pets. D、To entertain readers with dark humour jokes about pets. -

My parents came to the US from India in the 1960s, along with other immigrants from India. Back then, there were few Indians anywhere around the US. My father came to Kansas,where he would get his Ph.D.Six months later, my mother came with the three of us kids — my sister, my brother, and me. We were just six,five and three years old then.
It was the very first winter when we were in Kansas. It was so cold,but we didn't have heavy coats or warm clothes. We didn't have a concept of how cold it really could be in the Midwest, and there was a new surprise every day. We didn't have a car or anything like that, and my dad didn't have a US driver's license. But anyway, my father was studying for his Ph.D., and he would walk up and down a big hill to and from the school on a regular basis.
Since I was three years old, I didn't go to school, but my sister and brother were in school. My father had to walk down the big hill to take them to school every day and then walk back up the hill to go to university.After about three weeks of living like this, a woman called Valerie,whose son John was in the same class as my brother, started noticing them. On a very cold snowy morning,when they went to school as usual,Valerie passed by. She pulled up and said, "I see you on the way every day. Don't you feel cold without coats?"My father responded,"We didn't expect the weather would be so cold in Kansas."Valerie said,"Maybe I can take your daughter and son to school. Would you like a ride?"
Hearing that, my dad nodded with great joy.
……
Later, Valerie and her family became so dear to my family.

How far back does your family tree go? A hundred years? A thousand years? What about 6 to 7 million years? An ancient skull found in Africa suggests that the human family might be that old.
Discovered in 2001 in the desert of Chad, the skull was nicknamed Toumai by scientists. Toumai is a rare find. The skull is nearly complete; it even includes a few teeth. The Toumai skull is estimated to be between 6 and 7 million years old. Scientists are debating whether the skull is linked to humans.
The finding is not without controversy. Some scientists think that Toumai is the oldest known hominid (原始人类)ever found. Others say Toumai is an ape(猿).
Most hominids that scientists are aware of lived millions of years after Toumai. The most famous one is called Lucy. She lived in Ethiopia about 3.5 million years ago. While Lucy's face looked like the face of a chimpanzee, Toumai's skull has both human and ape-like features.
Because Toumai's skull looks different from other hominid skulls, some scientists think Toumai represents a whole new species. Toumai's official name is Sahelanthropus tchadensis.
Scientists were surprised to find a human-like face on a skull as old as Toumai's. They thought hominids turned into humans step by step over time. Scientists mark those changes on a timeline, starting with a chimpanzee-like ancestor and ending with modern humans. Toumai's human-like face and chimp-sized brain suggest that the development of hominids was not so simple. There may not be a direct line leading from Toumai to Lucy to us. Instead, the timeline might be similar to a tree with lots of branches. Different species in different places could have evolved human-like features at different time.
Scientists aren't sure where exactly Toumai belongs on our family tree. Toumai could be like a great-great-grandfather — or just a distant cousin. Toumai could also be one of many types of hominids who wandered Earth millions of years ago.
(1)、What can we learn about Toumai skull ?A、It is the oldest ape - like skull , B、It is about 3.5 million years old. C、It was named by a historian from Africa. D、It was hardly damaged before being discovered.(2)、What does the underlined word "controversy "in paragraph 3 mean ?A、Argument. B、Surprise C、Hardship D、Unhappiness(3)、What do the scientists conclude from Toumai ' s human - like face in paragraph 6?A、Hominids turned into humans in a simple way. B、Toumai may belong to the same species as Lucy. C、The development of hominids may not be a direct line. D、It confirmed the evolution from Toumai to Lucy to human.(4)、What is the main idea of the text?A、The origin of human being. B、The introduction of Toumai. C、The study of human family tree. D、The research on different hominids. -

The first time my daughter, Maia, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. Seeing photos of where I was going, she sobbed and asked why I was going to leave her behind. I tried to explain my work as a travel writer. But as my husband, Evan, pried her off my leg so I could leave, I wondered if my solo trips would be worth the effort of going without her.
A few days later, I returned home and Maia was happy to hear about my trip. She told me I could keep going on trips for work — but we'd compromise (妥协): she'd come with me.
One year later, an invitation came to experience the Rocky Mountaineer on a parent-child journey. And as terrifying as it seemed to take a preschooler on a luxury train, the trip sounded too good to pass up.
Dressed in her fanciest train-riding clothes, four-year-old Maia watched me take notes about the scenery as we chugged along the Fraser River in BC. Wanting to prove her worth as an assistant, she began interviewing the Australian couple sitting beside us. Unable to spell more than a few words, she drew their answers in crayon. She ended up being such an easy travel companion and we found a special rhythm on the road together.
When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes. But it was on the flight home, when my glued-to-my-hip kid said it was okay that the airline didn't seat us together, that I realized how much travel was shaping her.
Research says that travel can expand a kid's world, helping them become more empathetic and adaptable while boosting their creativity and imagination. Seeing those changes in Maia, I am really grateful for that compromise I made with her.
(1)、What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?A、She went on trips for work. B、She enjoyed traveling alone. C、She gave up work for family. D、She traveled a lot with her kid.(2)、What did the author think of the Rocky Mountaineer trip with Maia?A、Terrifying. B、Enjoyable. C、Exciting. D、Awkward.(3)、What influence did travel have on Maia?A、She became much closer to the writer. B、She grew braver and more independent. C、She became more outgoing and cheerful. D、She made new friends and learned new skills.(4)、What is the most suitable title for the text?A、The Joys of Travelling with Children B、The Challenges of Accompanying C、The Reflection on Working as a Travel Writer D、The Approaches to Making Travel Comfortable
