二的职工心理健康状况得到改善。故选C。

【6题详解】

细节理解题。根据最后一段aIWGsaidthatdemandforitsworkspacesoutsidecitycentreshadgrownby36per

awhilenow-howhybridworkingisbuildingandmaintainingahealthierandhappierworkforcebyreducingthe

首席执行官MarkDixon说：“这项研究证实了我们一段时间以来所看到的一一混合工作是如何通过减少每

天长时间通勤的需要来建立和维持一支更健康、更快乐的员工队伍的。"）”可知，混合式工作越来越受欢

迎。故选B。

【7题详解】

主旨大意题。木艮据第——段uHybridworkerstakemoreexercise,getmoresleepandeathealthier,accordingtoa

studyconductedbyIWG,aworkspaceprovider.（工作场所提供商IWG开展的一项研究显示，混合型员工锻炼

agenciesfromaroundtheworldtoworktogether.OncemissionsmakeittotheMoon,havingthesametimezone

wouldmakeitsimplerforastronautstocommunicateandtravelacrossitssurface.（欧洲航天局认为，月球的特定

时区将使世界各地的太空机构更容易合作。一旦任务到达月球，拥有相同的时区将使宇航员更容易在月球

表面进行通信和旅行）”可知，欧洲航天局坚持认为月球应该有自己的时区是为了帮助空间机构在世界范围

内合作。故选D。

【9题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段“OntheMoon,thetimebetweentwosunsetsisnearly709hours,whichisabout29.5

Earthdays.Thismeansthatlunarnightscanbearoundtwoweekslong,withonlytheEarthandthestars一no

Sun—inthesky.（在月球上，两次日落之间的时间接近709小时，大约是29.5个地球日。这意味着月夜可以

长达两周左右，天空中只有地球和星星，没有太阳）”可知，建立月球时区的挑战是月球上的夜晚更长。故

选C。

【10题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段“BernhardHufenbachfromESAsaidthatifaworkingtimesystemfortheMoon

【答案】12.C13.D14.D15.A

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了作者对使用ChatGPT的感受，作者认为ChatGPT的理解问题

和回答问题的能力似乎非常人性化，但也有一些缺点。

【12题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段"Lastyear,acompany,OpenAI,releasedatrulyjaw-droppingdemonstrationcalled

ChatGPTthatseemstohaveskippedafewgenerations.IfslikegoingstraightfromtheWrightBrotherstoa

Boeing747.Sowhatexactlyisit?（去年，一家名为OpenAI的公司发布了一个真正令人瞠目的名为ChatGPT

的演示，它似乎跨越了几代人。这就像从莱特兄弟直接到波音747。那么它到底是什么呢？）”可推知，作

者在第一段提到莱特兄弟和波音747是想说明ChatGPT是一个巨大的技术突破。故选C。

【13题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段"That'sright—IaskedChatGPTto"writeabasicexplanationofChatGPTandreveal

thattheparagraphitselfwaswrittenbyChatGPTattheend^^anditcameupwiththatexplanationallonitsown.It

seeminglyknowshowtotalkabouteverything-frompoliticstosciencefiction.（没错，我让ChatGPT”写一个

ChatGPT的基本解释，并在最后揭示这段话本身是由ChatGPT写的”，它自己就给出了那个解释）”推

知，第二段ChatGPT的答案说明了它理解和回答问题的能力。故选D。

【14题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段"Itseeminglyknowshowtotalkabouteverything一frompoliticstosciencefiction.（它

似乎知道如何谈论一切---从政治到科幻小说）”和第四段的“Anditcan'tdomaths一Iaskeditthesquare

rootof717,409,andittold"'approximately838.8"（theansweris847）.（它也不会做数学---我问它717,409的

平方根，它告诉我“大约是838.8"（答案是847））”可知，ChatGPT可以与人交谈，理解和回答问题的能

力很强，但不擅长数学。由此可知，ChatGPT擅长解释“为什么伦敦是一个更好的城市”。故选D。

【15题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段“SonowPmjusthopingthatmyeditordoesn'tdecideitcouldwriteaprettydecent

technologycolumnwithoutme.（所以现在我只希望我的编辑不要认为没有我也能写出一篇相当不错的科技专

栏）”推知，作者的工作很有可能是专栏作家。故选A。

【答案】16.B17.G18.F19.A20.E

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了选择的影响以及影响选择的因素。

【16题详解】

日艮据上文“Everyoneknowsthatthechoiceswemakeaffectourfuture.SupposeIamanintelligentstudentwith

goodmarks.However,beinglazy,Idobadlyinmyexaminations.Iamrefusedentrytouniversityandcannotfinda

goodjob.Thegoldenfuturewillneverbe.（每个人都知道我们所做的选择会影响我们的未来。假设我是一个聪

明的学生，成绩好。然而，由于懒惰，我在考试中表现很差。我被大学拒之门外，也找不到好工作。美好

未来永远不会有）”以及下文陈述对选择对我们的影响推知，空处应引出话题。故B选项“所有这都来自

一个坏的选择”符合语境，these指代上文提到的^1dobadlyinmyexaminations.Iamrefusedentryto

universityandcannotfindagoodjob.Thegoldenfuturewillneverbe,,,“abadchoice”指上文的“being

lazy”。故选B。

【17题详解】

木艮据上文“However,yourchoicesaffectyourfutureinawaythatismorecomplicated.（,你的选择以——种

更复杂的方式影响着你的未来）”以及后文“Yourcharacterisdisplayedthroughyourchoices,butitisalso

formedbythem.（你的性格是通过你的选择展现出来的，但它也是由你的选择形成的）”可知，后文提到了性

格会影响选项，本句解释上文“更复杂的方式”指的是性格。故G选项“这是因为你所做的几乎所有选择

都会影响你的性格”符合语境，故选G。

【18题详解】

本艮据上文“Wheneveryoumakeachoice,yourcharacterchangesorgrows,dependingonwhetherthedecision

youmadeiswiseorfoolish.（每当你做出选择时，你的性格就会改变或成长，这取决于你做出的决定是明智

的还是愚蠢的）"以及后文"Andso,youbecomethesortofpersonwhowillmakeacertainkindofchoiceina

certainsituation.（因此，你成为了那种在特定情况下会做出特定选择的人）”可知，性格是由选择塑造的。故

F选项“你的性格是由你一点一点、一个又一个选择塑造出来的"符合语境，故选F。

【19题详解】

根据后文“Afterall,thefieldofhumanchoiceisanarrowone.Mostofthethingsthatformusinourlivesarenot

subjecttochoice.Wecannotchoosewhenandwheretobeborn,whetherourfamilieswillberichorpoor,kindor

cruel.Wecannotevenentirelycontrolwhowewillmeetinourlives.Withsomuchthatwecannotchoose,howcan

webesaidtoberesponsibleforanything?（毕竟，人类选择的领域是狭窄的。在我们的生活中，构成我们的大

多数事情都是无法选择的。我们无法选择出生的时间和地点，无法选择家庭的富裕还是贫穷，无法选择善

良还是残酷。我们甚至不能完全控制我们在生活中会遇到谁。有这么多我们无法选择的东西，我们怎么能

说对任何事情负责呢？）”可知，事实上人们的选择很小，因此不可能对任何事情负责。由此推知，空处句

子指出，有人反对“性格是由选择塑造出来”这个观点。故A选项“有些人会认为这不是真的”符合语

境，this指上段提到的“性格是由选择塑造的"。故选A。

[20题详解】

根据上文“However,wedohavesomepowerofchoice,andwedocontrolthemostimportantthingofall:how

werespondtocircumstances.（然而，我们确实有一些选择的权力，我们确实控制着最重要的事情：我们如何

应对环境）“以及后文"Itisourkeytohavingconfidenceinthefuture.Itishumannaturetofearthefuture,asthe

futureisunknown.Youcannotentirelycontrolwhatwillhappentoyoutomorrow.Butifyouhaveconfidencein

yourcharacter,thenyoudoknowonethingforcertainaboutthefuture:nomatterwhathappens,youwillmakea

choicethatyouwillbeproudof.（这是我们对未来充满信心的关键。害怕未来是人类的天性，因为未来是未知

的。你不能完全控制明天会发生什么。但如果你对自己的性格有信心，那么你对未来有一件事是肯定的：

无论发生什么，你都会做出一个令你自豪的选择）”可知，本句主要说明我们可以选择的事情：在困难时

期，我们可以选择继续奋斗，也可以选择放弃。故E选项“在困难时期，我们可以选择继续奋斗，也可以

选择放弃”符合语境，故选E。
