以及这首歌曲在保护濒危物种方面的作用。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“FormostofDecember,AdeleAdkinshadthetop-sellingalbuminAustralia,followedbyEdSheeran,andthentherewasacollectionofsongsthattookeveryonebysurprise.(在12月的大部分时间里，AdeleAdkins的专辑在澳大利亚销量最高，其次是EdSheeran，然后还有一系列令所有人惊讶的歌曲。)”可知，AdeleAdkins的专辑销量很高。故选B项。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第四段“SongsOfDisappearancewaspublishedwithauniversityreportwhichfoundthat1in6Australianbirdspeciesarenowthreatened.(《消失之歌》与一份大学报告一起出版，该报告发现，澳大利亚六分之一的鸟类现在受到威胁。)”可知，我们可以从大学的报告中得知澳大利亚有六分之一的鸟类濒临灭绝。故选C项。【26题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词之前“whichhasapieceofskinhangingunderitsmouththatcaninflate(膨胀)likeahugeredballoon,(它的嘴巴下面挂着一块皮肤，可以像一个巨大的红色气球一样膨胀，)”以及划线词之后“asitsunusuallooks(像它不寻常的外表)”可以推测frigatebird嘴巴下面的皮肤可以像一个巨大的红色气球一样膨胀，而这就像它的外表一样不同寻常，即奇怪，所以划线词的意思与选项A.Strange意思相近。故选A项。【27题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Theincreasedawarenesscanmakeadifference,”Dooleysaid.“Whenwehaveacommunityonboard,thatbringspressuretothegovernmenttodotherightthing.Weknowthattheseconservationactionsdowork.”(“意识的增强可以带来改变，”Dooley说。“当我们有一个社区参与进来时，这会给政府带来压力，迫使它做正确的事情。我们知道这些保护行动确实有效。”)”可推断，SeanDooley认为AnthonyAlbrecht的项目非常有帮助。故选D项。CThefirstwaveofconcernsoverartificialintelligence(AI)in2023appearedsoonafterNewYear’sDaywhenclassroomsreopenedandschoolsfromSeattletoParisstartedblockingChatGPT,apowerfulsoftwarebasedonAIlargelanguagemodels,becauseteenagerswereusingittodotheirhomework.TheAIlargelanguagemodelsbehindsuchproductsasChatGPTworkbyrepeatedlyguessingthenextwordinasentenceafterhaving“learned”therulesfromahugeamountof/human-writtenworks.Althoughtheyoftengetfactswrong,theiranswersappearsonaturalthatKeven,theirinventorsbegintoworryabouttheirpossibleuseforspreadingfalseinformation.PeoplebecamemoreworriedwhenvariousAIproductsstartedtocreatenotjusttextsbutnovelimagesmusicandhumanvoices,whichthreatenedthelivelihoodsofanyonewhowrites,drawsorsingsforaliving.ItledtostrikesbyHollywoodwritersandactorsandlegalchallengesfromartistsandbestsellingauthors.Someofthemostrespectedscientistsevenwarnedthatthetechnology’suncheckedprogresswaspossiblythreateninghumanexistence.“Inthelongerterm,theymightmanageourattention,”pioneeringAIscientistFeiFeiLisaid.“Theywouldtelluswhichvideotowatch,whichbooktoreadorwhosecommunicationtorespondasAItechnology’sabilitiesimproverapidly.Theycouldbeaverygoodassistant,butalsowithreallybigrisks.”Lihopedthat2023isgoingtobeayearforpeopletothinkaboutwhatAlis,howtouseitandwhattheeffectsare—allthegood,thebadandtheugly.“It’seasytoforgetthattheyarenotthefirstwaveofAIproducts.ComputervisiontechniquesdevelopedbyLiandotherscientistshavehelpedsortthroughahugedatabaseofphotostorecognizeobjectsandindividualfacesandguideself-drivingcars.SpeechrecognitionadvanceshavemadevoiceassistantslikeSiriandAlexaanormalthinginmanypeople’slives,”saidTomGruber,co-founderofSiriInc.28.WhydidschoolstrytostoptheirstudentsfromusingChatGPT?A.ChatGPToftengotfactswrongintheclass.B.Studentsspenttoomuchtimeonthesoftware.C.ChatGPThelpedstudentsspreadfalseinformation.D.Studentsusedthesoftwaretocheatattheirhomework.29.Whatarethesecondandthirdparagraphsmainlyabout?A.AI’strainingcosts.

ethesoundsL,R,WorY.Andmorefriendlyversionsofsuchwordsoftenhavethesesoundsadded.(与其他单词相比，这些单词不太可能包含L、R、W或Y等音，而更友好的同义词通常会有这些音)”和第二段中“RyanMcKay,co-authorofthepaper,happenedtodiscoverthatsomeoftheEnglishcurses(诅咒语)seemtohavesomethingincommon;They’reoftenshortandincludethesoundsB,P,TorK.(该论文的合著者瑞恩·麦凯偶然发现，一些英语诅咒语似乎有一些共同点；它们通常很短，包括B、P、T或K的发音)”可知，诅咒语一般通常很短，包括B、P、T或K的发音，而净化后更友好的诅咒语中会有L、R、W或Y等音，所以“Buk”不是净化后的诅咒语。故选B项。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“Finally,theresearcherslookedthroughthedictionaryforEnglishcursesandtheircleaned-upversions.Onceagain,thecleaned-upversionsincludedmoreofthesoundsL,R,WandY.(最后，研究人员在词典中查找了英语诅咒语和它们的净化版本。再一次，净化后的版本包含了更多的声音L，R，W和Y。)”可知，研究人员最后做的是在词典中查找英语诅咒语和它们的净化版本并进行比较。故选D项。【34题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中BenjaminBergen的话“Butitisjustanothercaseofwhat’scalledsoundsymbolisminthelanguagestudy:Awordsoundslikewhatitmeans.(但这只是语言研究中所谓的声音象征主义的另一个例子：一个词听起来就像它的意思)”可知，BenjaminBergen的意思是这次研究只是声音象征主义研究的另一个例子，其结论并不是全新的发现。故选C项。【35题详解】推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“AstudypublishedTuesdayinthejournalPsychonomicBulletin&Reviewfoundthatwordsexpressingangryfeelingssoundalikeinseveralunrelatedlanguages.(周二发表在《心理经济学公报与评论》杂志上的一项研究发现，在几种不相关的语言中，表达愤怒情绪的词语听起来很相似)”和下文内容可知，文章介绍了一项关于表达愤怒情绪的词语的研究，所以作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍一项新发表的研究。故选A项。第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)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。“WhatshouldIlearntostayexcellent?”___36___,butitisstillworththinking—bothfortheprofessionalbenefitsandthecompletejoyoflearningsomethingnew.Hereisalookatsoneskillsthatwillsurelybenefityou.Self-managementSelf-managementisyourabilitytomanagebehaviors,thoughtsandemotions.Itisawaythatbetterservesyouandyourwork.Rulesofself-managementusuallyinclude:Howtocreateandkeepacalendar;___37___;Howtodoaweeklyreview;Howtofocusdeeply.LogicandreasoningLogicalthinkingcanbeextremelypowerfulformakingbetterdecisionsandsolvingproblems.However,mostofusreceivelittletraininginthisareainschool.___38___HowtodoexerciseYoucanjustpickanactivityyouenjoyanddoitregularly.Trydifferentthingsandseewhatyouenjoy.___39___.Thebestprogramistheoneyou’llactuallyholdonto.___40___Knowinghowtofixthingsaroundyourhouseorapartmentiswonderful.Insteadofhavingtowaithoursordaysforotherstofixit.youcandosoimmediately.Anddoingyourownrepairscansaveyoulotsofmoney.Youcanbuyabasictoolkit.Andwhenyoumeetsomekindofproblemwithyourplace,seeifyoucanfigureouthowtofixitontheInternet.A.It’sadifficultquestiontoanswerB.Howtomakeanduseato-dolistCHowtoperformbasichomerepairsD.There’sabitmoretoitthanthatE.Soit’sworthspendingsometimelearninghowtothinklogicallyF.Andrememberthatthere’snosuchathingasthe“best”exerciseprogramG.Buthavinglogicalthinkinginyourmental“toolbox”canbeveryuseful【答案】36.A37.B38.E39.F40.C【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些保持优秀的技能。【36题详解】根据上文“WhatshouldIlearntostayexcellent?(我该学些什么才能保持优秀？)”以及后文“butitisstillworththinking—bothfortheprofessionalbenefitsandthecompletejoyoflearningsomethingnew(但它仍然值得思考——无论是为了职业利益还是学习新事物的乐趣)”可知，上文提出问题，故本句回答上文的问题，后文提到了值得考虑，说明没有直接回答上文的问题，故A选项“这是一个很难回答的问题”符合语境，故选A。【37题详解】根据上文“Self-managementisyourabilitytomanagebehaviors,thoughtsandemotions.Itisawaythatbetterservesyouandyourwork.Rulesofself-managementusuallyinclude:Howtocreateandkeepacalendar;(自我管理是你管理行为、思想和情绪的能力。这是一种更好地为你和你的工作服务的方式。自我管理的规则通常包括：如何创建和保存日历)”以及后文“Howtodoaweeklyreview;Howtofocusdeeply.(如何做每周复习；如何深度集中注意力)”可知，本句与前后文并列，都是针对自我管理规则进行举例说明，故B选项“如何制作和使用待办事项清单”符合语境，故选B。【38题详解】根据上文“Logicalthinkingcanbeextremelypowerfulformakingbetterdecisionsandsolvingproblems.However,mostofusreceivelittletraininginthisareainschool.(逻辑思维对于做出更好的决定和解决问题是非常强大的。然而，我们大多数人在学校里很少接受这方面的培训)”可知，上文提到在学校很少接受逻辑思维的培训，本句为本段最后一句，与上文构成因果关系，说明培养逻辑思维的价值，故E选项“所以花点时间学习如何逻辑思考是值得的”符合语境，故选E。【39题详解】根据上文“Youcanjustpickanactivityyouenjoyanddoitregularly.Trydifferentthingsandseewhatyouenjoy.(你可以选择一项你喜欢的活动，并定期去做。尝试不同的东西，看看你喜欢什么)”以及后文“Thebestprogramistheoneyou’llactuallyholdonto.(最好的计划是你能真正坚持下去的计划)”可知，本句是在针对最好的锻炼计划进行说明，故F选项“记住，没有所谓“最好”的锻炼计划”符合语境，故选F。【40题详解】根据本段内容“Knowinghowtofixthingsaroundyourhouseorapartmentiswonderful.Insteadofhavingtowaithoursordaysforotherstofixit.youcandosoimmediately.Anddoingyourownrepairscansaveyoulotsofmoney.Youcanbuyabasictoolkit.Andwhenyoumeetsomekindofproblemwithyourplace,seeifyoucanfigureouthowtofixitontheInternet.(知道如何修理房子或公寓周围的东西是很棒的。而不是等几个小时或几天让别人来修理它。你可以马上这么做。自己动手修理可以帮你省很多钱。你可以买一个基本的工具包。当你的房子出现问题时，看看你能不能在网上找到解决办法)”可知，本段主要建议学习房屋修理知识，C故选项“如何进行基本的房屋维”符合语境，故选C。第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Mydadiseasy-goingandhasagiftforchatting.He____41____afastfoodrestaurantcalledQueenie’sWeenies,whichisspecializedinhotdogs.Iworkwithmydadatthe____42____onweekends.OneSaturday,wewent____43____.
