6-10ABBCB 11-15ACBCC 16-20CBABC第二部分阅读（共20小题节，每小题2.5分，满分50分）【A篇大意】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了2023年诺贝尔奖获奖者的事迹。21.C。根据文章第三段关键词electrons、howelectronsbehaveinamaterial可知PierreAgostini,FerencKrauszandAnneL’Huillier这三位获奖者研究电子，因此是他们获得物理奖。22.A。根据第四段可知NargesMohammadi为女性遭受的苦难而斗争，根据最后一段可知ClaudiaGoldin促进人们对女性在劳动力市场贡献的认可。23.C。根据文章第一段可知，本文简介了今年的六位获奖者，是一篇新闻报道。【B篇大意】本文是一篇记述文，讲述了作者在YosemiteNationalPark约塞米蒂国家公园游览时的所见、所思。24.D。根据第二段“EventhoughIfellacoupleoftimes,Istillhadalotoffun”可知，作者感到开心。25.C。根据第三段“thestructureofeachmountainisincredible”“someareformedwithspotsofgreenthatreachhighuptothesky”、“variouswildlifespeciesthathangaroundyou”可知答案选C。b中的原文描写的是山的颜色，而不是瀑布的颜色。26.A。根据第一段末尾“Itactuallyendedupbeingafunandadventurousexperience”以及最后一段“basedonmyexperienceIhighlyrecommendgoingoutandenjoyingnaturewithfamilyandfriends”,可知答案选A。27.C。根据文章最后一段“It'sagreattimetocontactfriendandfamilies,tolaugh,andtotakeinwhatMotherNaturehastooffer”可知选C。【C篇大意】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了人工智能欺骗探测器以及它是如何工作的，同时人工智能技术可以作为人类的辅助手段。28.D。根据文章第二段“Altogether,theyanalyzed121videos—abouthalfrepresenteddishoneststatements,andhalftruthful.Itwasthisdatathat...”可知研究人员向系统输入法庭上的真话和谎言进行学习，以此训练他们的测谎能力。29.D。根据文章第三段“Besides,someonetellingaliewoulduse“strongerwords”suchas“absolutely,”and“very,”thatreflectcertainty”可知，撒谎者说话时措辞比较强硬，会使用“绝对、非常”等体现很强确定性词语，即说话时很有把握，故选D。30.B。根据文章最后一段“Butlookedatanotherway,that'sanerrorrateofoneinfour.Ultimately,sheseestechnologylikethisasbeingassistiveforpeople—itcould,forexample,indicatethatitnoticedsomething“unusual”inaspeaker’sstatement,andthenperhapshaveaperson“investigatemore.”（最终，她认为这样的技术对人们是有帮助的――例如，它可以表明它注意到说话者的陈述中有一些“不寻常”的地方，然后可能让一个人“进一步调查”）”可知，人工智能技术可以作为人类的辅助手段。故选B。31.B。根据文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了RadaMihalcea研究人工智能欺骗探测器的开发原理、当前的发现，以及对其评价。【D篇大意】本文是说明文。科学家尝试用幼蝙蝠在两种不同环境下的声音习得，揭开人类口头语言的起源之谜。32.A。根据第一段“Researchershaveobservedyoungbatsadoptingnew“dialects”simplybyhearingthemrepeatedly”可知，研究人员观察到，幼年蝙蝠只需反复听到新的“同源语”就可以适应新的“同源语”。所以小蝙蝠是一遍又一遍的听习得它们的“语言”的。故选A项。33.A。根据第二段Thegeneralassumptioninthisfieldisthatmostanimalsdeveloptheirbornvocalizationsregardlessofwhattheyhear可知，本领域的普遍看法是大多数动物不管听到什么都会开发自己与生俱来的声音，人类的声音学习能力才会随着时间而进步。但这个实验发现蝙蝠也学习它们休息区内的常见声音，即它们也有声音学习能力，与之前的研究发现不同。故选A。34.B。根据第三段Scientistsknowlittleabouttheoriginofspokenlanguage,whichisbelievedtohaveappearedinhumanswithinthepast500,000years.Adiversityoftheoriesattemptstogiveadetailedclarificationofthisskill,butnonehavedonesoconclusively.可知，科学家对口头语言的起源几近无知，许多理论想要详细阐述口头语言，且至今尚无结论，所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出“problem”指的是“详细阐述口头语言”。35.A。根据最后一段Butanimal
