Are you searching for the latest device as a gift? Here, we offer a guide that will help you take a closer look at four of tech’s hottest categories.
Virtual reality
Virtual reality (VR), the most exciting tech development of recent times, has arrived. The Sony VR doesn’t require expensive phone and there are some devices you can purchase to enhance the experience. But if you’ve already got a PS4, you can enter the world of VR for just $400 (2780 yuan).
Wireless headphones
Combining ease of use with the ability to move around without limit, wireless headphones just make sense. The Bose QuietComfort 35 wireless headphones are worth a test drive. The headphones feature active noise cancellation. They can be easily purchased for less than $400 online.
Digital cameras
While your phone has more functions, there’s no substitute（替代品）for a real camera. As small as your smartphone, the smooth design of the Fujifilm X70, $699 (4850 yuan), makes it the perfect companion. In China, Xiaomi’s mirrorless Yi M1 offers a more affordable option, available for just 2199 yuan.
Smartwatches
Watches, thanks to the mobile phone, were becoming unnecessary. Now the pursuit for fitness has helped the watch industry push forward. FitBit has been a leader in the sporty wearable field, and its new swim-proof Fitbit Flex 2 ($130) represents the best in the way of today’s fitness bands.
1. With a budget of $300, which of the following can you buy?
A. Xiaomi Yi M1. B. Fujifilm X70. C. Fitbit Flex 2. D. A Sony VR without a PS4.

【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Digital cameras”部分最后两句“As small as your smartphone, the smooth design of the Fujifilm X70, $699 (4850 yuan), makes it the perfect companion. In China, Xiaomi’s mirrorless Yi M1 offers a more affordable option, available for just 2199 yuan.”(富士X70的平滑设计与你的智能手机一样小，价值699美元（4850元人民币），是完美的伴侣。在中国，小米的无镜易M1提供了更实惠的选择，仅需2199元。)可知，价格可能是你选择小米而不是富士胶片的原因。故选D。
【3题详解】

Enjoying the beauty of the sky at night is a rare thing for people in cities since light pollution ruins everything. However, photos taken by astrophotographers (天文摄影师) give people opportunities to still admire the stars.
Being a full-time astrophotographer, Zhang Jingyi, 27, grew up being an astronomy enthusiast. When asked why she chose this career, Zhang said, “We all dream of what it is like to live on planets so far from us. Isn’t it cool?”
Due to the fast development of China’s space industry, Zhang recently started to shoot rocket launches. “I basically followed the construction of the Tiangong space station with my camera,” she said, adding that every launch has given her a strong sense of achievement.  
Zhang believes that her photos are artworks that money cannot buy. “Some photographers may sell their works ‑ some photos even reach six digits (六位数),” Zhang said. “For me, I would be satisfied if people liked my work.” As an influencer on Sina Weibo with more than 2.5 million followers, Zhang also shares videos that she’s filmed, giving her audience a more authentic impression of her work.
Zhang said that an astrophotographer needs to be devoted to their career. For example, when taking photos of the stars, they have to film them on plateaus which are freezing at night. When shooting rockets, they may get sunburned working under the burning sun. “These hardships are nothing if you truly love what you do,” Zhang said.
Gaining experience is also important. “There isn’t a detailed guidebook for creating art,” Zhang said. “You have to learn from your own work. Gradually, you can add personal thoughts into the filming process and witness your work improving.”
4. What inspired Zhang to become an astrophotographer?
A. A beautiful photo she saw on Weibo.
B. Her curiosity about space.
C. Fewer chances for citizens to admire the stars.
D. The development of China’s space industry.
5. What did Zhang begin to shoot in recent years?
A. People. B. Scenery. C. Wildlife. D. Rocket launching.
6. What does Zhang value about her photos?
A. How much they can sell for. B. The media’s comments on them.
C. The public’s recognition of them. D. The social impact they have.
7. What does Zhang think is necessary for a successful astrophotographer?
A. Expensive equipment. B. A detailed guidebook.
C. Devotion and learning ability. D. A formal education in photography.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是全职天文摄影师Zhang Jingyi的职业故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“When asked why she chose this career, Zhang said, “We all dream of what it is like to live on planets so far from us. Isn’t it cool?”(当被问及为什么选择这个职业时，张说：“我们都梦想着生活在离我们很远的星球上。是不是很酷？”)”可知，张对离我们很远的星球，即太空的好奇心激发张成为一名天文摄影师。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Due to the fast development of China’s space industry, Zhang recently started to shoot rocket launches.(由于中国航天工业的快速发展，张最近开始拍摄火箭发射。)”可知，张最近几年开始拍火箭发射。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“For me, I would be satisfied if people liked my work.(对我来说，如果人们喜欢我的作品，我会很满足。)”可知，张看重的是公众对她所拍摄的照片的认可。故选C。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Zhang said that an astrophotographer needs to be devoted to their career.(张说，一名天文摄影师需要全身心地投入到自己的事业中。)”可知，张觉得一个成功的天文摄影师需要有敬业精神；根据最后一段的“You have to learn from your own work.(你必须从自己的工作中学习。)”可知，张觉得一个成功的天文摄影师需要有学习能力。故选C。
C
ChatGPT is back in the headlines again as OpenAI, the company behind the incredibly popular chatbot, has now introduced a powerful new language model – GPT-4.
First announced on March 14, GPT-4 goes beyond the capability of the previous language model known as GPT-3.5. The most impressive new feature is its ability to use images as prompts (提示). Its image-based outputs can be as simple as describing the contents of a refrigerator. But they can also be complex like interpreting a series of images to explain what a joke is supposed to be.
But GPT-4’s advancements don’t stop there. The new language model can code (编程) classic games like Tetris (俄罗斯方块) in a matter of minutes, produce the code and layout for a website based on a hand-made drawing, and change the tone and style of its responses. And, perhaps to the worry of teachers, GPT-4’s ability to pass tests has greatly topped the previous version’s. According to CNN, GPT-4 passed a simulated (模拟的) law school bar exam (律师资格考试) with a score in the top 10 percent of test takers, unlike GPT-3.5 which only scored at the bottom 10 percent.
GPT-4 will also see greater use as a tool to power other apps and services. Duolingo, a US educational technology company, plans to use GPT-4 in their upcoming Duolingo Max function to help users improve their language studies through dynamic AI conversations and answer explanations. Another organization looking to use the software is Be My Eyes, which wants to introduce a digital assistant to help visually impaired (视障的) users better understand the world around them. Even the government of Iceland plans on creating a five-year fund to support the digital preservation of the Icelandic language using the software.
However, there are still pitfalls (隐患) in the new language model. GPT-4 still struggles to be completely accurate with its responses, especially with newer information after September 2021. GPT-4 also still occasionally “hallucinates (产生错觉)”, meaning that it will insist that wrong information is true.
8. What is the most outstanding new feature of GPT-4?
A. Its ability to code classic games quickly.
B. Its ability to produce website layouts.
C. Its ability to use images as prompts.
D. Its ability to change the style of its responses.
9. How did GPT-4 perform in a simulated law school bar exam?
A. It failed the test.
B. It scored in the middle of test takers.
C. It scored at the bottom 10 percent of test takers.
D. It scored in the top 10 percent of test takers.
10. How is the government of Iceland planning to use GPT-4?
A. To preserve its language digitally.
B. To improve government work efficiency.
C. To facilitate students’ language learning experiences.
D. To develop a digital assistant for visually impaired people.
11. What limitation of GPT-4 is mentioned in the text?
A. It struggles with outdated information.
B. It can produce inaccurate responses.
C. It cannot correct wrong prompts.
D. It has difficulty interpreting complex contents.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新推出的强大的语言模型GPT-4。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The most impressive new feature is its ability to use images as prompts (提示).(它最令人印象深刻新功能就是它能够使用图像作为提示。)”可知，GPT-4最出色的功能就是它能将图像作为提示，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“According to CNN, GPT-4 passed a simulated (模拟的) law school bar exam (律师资格考试) with a score in the top 10 percent of test takers, unlike GPT-3.5 which only scored at the bottom 10 percent.(根据CNN报道，GPT-4通过了模拟法学院律师资格考试，其成绩排在考生的前10%，而GPT-3.5的成绩却在后10%。)”可知，GPT-4的模拟律师资格考试的成绩排在考生的前10%，故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Even the government of Iceland plans on creating a five-year fund to support the digital preservation of the Icelandic language using the software.(甚至冰岛政府也计划设立一个为期五年的基金，支持使用该软件对冰岛语进行数字保护。)”可知，冰岛想要通过来GPT-4数字化保存其语言，故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“However, there are still pitfalls (隐患) in the new language model. GPT-4 still struggles to be completely accurate with its responses, especially with newer information after September 2021.(然而，新的语言模型中仍然存在隐患。GPT-4的回复仍然很难完全正确，尤其是在2021年9月之后的更新信息中。)”可知，GPT-4的局限在于，它也会提供不正确的回复，故选B。
D
Do you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone? If yes, you’re not alone. These days, many people suffer from the stress of FOMO (fear of missing out). They reach for their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning, and for the rest of the day, they constantly scroll down (向下滚动) the timelines of their social media apps to get the latest updates.
Despite the convenience smartphones bring, many people struggle with their digital habits. As Sameer Samat, US tech Company Google’s vice president of product management, said in his speech at the 2018 Google I/O developer conference on May 8th, 70 percent of people don’t want to spend so much time on their phones. This is why during the conference Google introduced an app called Dashboard for the new version (版本) of its Android operating system. This new app includes well-being functions that aim to help users manage the time they spend on their digital devices.
It all starts with a bird’s-eye view. Dashboard allows users to look at all the details of their phone habits. For example, a user can see how many times they’ve unlocked their phone and how many times they’ve checked their social media apps, as well as how much time they spend on each app every day.
Once the users see this information, they’ll be able to make some changes. With the App Timer function, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day. After they’ve hit the limit, they won’t be able to launch the app until the next day.
But even if users become more mindful of their usage, they’re still likely to be drawn in by notifications (通知). This is where the Shush feature comes in. It automatically (自动地) silences incoming calls and notifications when a user puts their phone face down.
If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours using their smart phones, these new functions are just one way of doing that. After all, who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps when the easiest answer would be just to use your willpower?
12. Who are the target users of Dashboard?
A. People who know little about smartphones.
B. People who have trouble dealing with stress.
C. People who are slow at searching for things online.
D. People who wish to manage the time they spend on their smartphone.
13. What can Dashboard do?
A. Lock the phone at a certain time. B. Limit some apps to certain users.
C. Limit the time certain apps can be used. D. Silence app notifications at night.
14. The underlined word “mindful” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. skillful. B. careful. C. trapped. D. creative.
15. What does the author think of Dashboard?
A. It’s not useful at all. B. It’s perfectly designed.
C. It should include more functions. D. It may be helpful to some people.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了谷歌推出的一款能帮助人们更好地管理使用智能手机的时间的新的应用程序——Dashboard。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句“This new app includes well-being functions that aim to help users manage the time they spend on their digital devices.(这款新的应用程序包括健康功能，旨在帮助用户管理他们花在数字设备上的时间)”可知，Dashboard的目标用户是那些想管理自己花在智能手机上的时间的人，故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“With the App Timer function, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day. After they’ve hit the limit, they won’t be able to launch the app until the next day.(通过定时功能，用户可以设置每天使用每个应用程序的时间限制。当他们达到时间上限后，他们直到第二天才能启动该应用程序)”，由此可知，Dashboard能够限制用户在使用某些应用程序的时间，故选C项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段最后一句“After they’ve hit the limit, they won’t be able to launch the app until the next day.(当他们达到时间上限后，他们直到第二天才能启动该应用程序)”，以及划线词所在句“But even if users become more mindful of their usage, they’re still likely to be drawn in by notifications (通知).（但即使用户更mindful他们的使用，他们仍然可能被通知所吸引)”可知，用户会很留意自己的使用某些应用程序的时间，mindful意为“留心的”，与careful语意相近，故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours using their smart phones, these new functions are just one way of doing that. After all, who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps when the easiest answer would be just to use your willpower?(如果人们真的想充分利用他们的空闲时间，而不是浪费时间使用他们的智能手机，这些新功能只是其中一种方式。毕竟，当最简单的解决办法就是利用意志力时，谁还需要用一个应用程序来阻止你使用其他应用程序呢？)”可知，Dashboard的这个功能对于没有意志力的人来说应该是有帮助的。故选D项。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Shyness is normal and it is not considered as a mental problem. All people have been shy at one time or another. Even the most confident people experienced being shy. ____16____.
You probably are wondering why you are shy. It may be because of the environment you were used to or the way you were brought up. Certain events or incidents in the past may also lead to the reason why you are shy now. ____17____ Most shy people have shy parents and relatives and it is not surprising to find out that they too have become shy persons.
One of the negative sides of being shy is having the tendency to be passive. Most of the time shy people can’t stand up for themselves and what they believe is right. ____18____This apparently influences their social life as well as work, family and other aspects of their life.
While shyness has negative aspects, it has positive sides. Shy people are usually good observers and do not get themselves into too much trouble because they try to observe their environment or any situation before they act. ____19____ They can also make great friends. Since they have difficulties in social scenes, making friends seems to be a must. Therefore, they value their friends wholeheartedly and have proven to be loyal and thoughtful friends.
____20____ Some of them born with shy parents have successfully battled against being shy. This contributes to their constant self-improvement, developing self-esteem and trying to be exposed to new environments.
A. But in most cases, shyness proves to be genetic.
B. They are sensitive and accustomed to getting suspicious.
C. Because some people are born to be shy, they let it go hang.
D. So if you’re feeling shy, don’t worry because you are not alone.
E. They are not hot-headed and think twice before making any decisions.
F. Although shyness is something from birth, it can be improved over time.
G. They avoid crowds by nature and stay away from groups and social interactions.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. G 19. E 20. F
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章分析了人们会害羞的原因、介绍了害羞的弊端和益处以及害羞是可以慢慢克服的这一事实。
【16题详解】
第一段是全文的开篇，前三句话“Shyness is normal and it is not considered as a mental problem. All people have been shy at one time or another. Even the most confident people experienced being shy. (害羞是正常的，它不被认为是一种精神问题。所有的人都曾有过害羞的时候。即使是最自信的人也会感到害羞) ”讲到害羞是正常现象，所有人，包括最自信的人，都曾害羞过，D项“So if you’re feeling shy, don’t worry because you are not alone.(所以，如果你感到害羞，不要担心，因为你不是一个人)”是本段的结论，正因为人人都会害羞，所以不用担心，与上文构成因果关系。故选D项。
【17题详解】
上文“It may be because of the environment you were used to or the way you were brought up. Certain events or incidents in the past may also lead to the reason why you are shy now.(这可能是因为你所习惯环境或者你被抚养长大的方式。过去的某些事情或事件也可能是导致你现在害羞的原因) ”讲感到害羞可能与成长环境和特定事件等外部因素有关，而下文“Most shy people have shy parents and relatives and it is not surprising to find out that they too have become shy persons.(大多数害羞的人都有害羞的父母和亲戚，所以不难发现他们也成了害羞的人)”讲害羞可能来自父母亲戚的遗传、基因，是内部因素，上下文之间有转折对比关系，A项 “But in most cases, shyness proves to be genetic.(但在大多数情况下，害羞是遗传的)”起到承上启下的作用。故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据下文“This apparently influences their social life as well as work, family and other aspects of their life.(这显然影响了他们的社会生活以及工作、家庭和生活的其他方面)”中指示代词this可知，上文中应出现其指代内容，而且该内容会影响到人们的社会生活以及工作、家庭和生活的其他方面，G 项“They avoid crowds by nature and stay away from groups and social interactions.(他们天生避开人群，远离群体和社会交往)”中所描述害羞的人会“避开人群，远离群体和社会交往”这一行为，会对人们的方方面面造成极大的影响，正是下文代词this指代的 对象，与下文构成逻辑上的顺承关系。故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据段首中心句“While shyness has negative aspects, it has positive sides.(虽然害羞有消极的方面，但它也有积极的方面)”可知，本段主要介绍“害羞”的积极意义，E项“They are not hot-headed and think twice before making any decisions.(他们不会头脑发热，在做任何决定之前都会再三考虑)”讲害羞的人做事情会深思熟虑，这是对中心句中“positive sides”的举例说明，同时，与其上文和下文构成并列关系，都是对中心句的举例说明。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Some of them born with shy parents have successfully battled against being shy. This contributes to their constant self-improvement, developing self-esteem and trying to be exposed to new environments.(一些人出生时父母就很害羞，但他们成功地战胜了害羞。这有助于他们不断自我完善，发展自尊，尝试接触新环境) ”可知，本段主要讲了害羞是可以战胜的，F项“Although shyness is something from birth, it can be improved over time.(虽然害羞是与生俱来的，但它可以随着时间的推移而改善)”讲害羞可以改善，作为段首中心句，是对全段内容的准确概括，且句中“it can be improved ”与下文“their constant self-improvement, developing self-esteem”相照应。故选F项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者学校举办了一个名为“中国传统文化走进校园”的活动以及带给作者的感悟。
【详解】第一处：考查非谓语动词。句意：最近，我们学校举办了一个名为“中国传统文化走进校园”的活动。动词name与其逻辑主语event之间是动宾关系，故应用其过去分词形式作后置定语。故naming改为named。
第二处：考查名词的数。句意：活动中还组织了学习戏曲、剪纸、书法等多种活动。 activity为可数名词，various意为“各种各样的”，后接名词复数形式。故activity改为activities。
第三处：考查形容词。句意：老师和学生都很兴奋，充满了好奇心，积极参与了活动。此处主语是The teachers and students，故应用excited修饰。故exciting改为excited。

第九处：考查固定句型。句意：他们不仅提高了对中国传统文化的认识，而且意识到保护中国传统文化并将其传播到世界各地是他们的责任。句型not only...but also...是固定搭配，意为“不仅……而且……”。故and改为but。

【答案】One possible version:
My Opinion on Labor Education
Currently, labor education has been increasingly attached great importance to, but some students just bury themselves in books. They think that it is a waste of time if they do labor. So is it necessary for students to do it?
Actually, time spent laboring will be rewarding. It can promote students to develop practical skills, strong will, unity and cooperation of good quality. Meanwhile, they are also given the chances to contribute their shares and often rewarded with a spiritual fulfillment.
I have frequently been encouraged to actively engage in some housework at home since my early age. Therefore I have grown more skilful and am willing to take my share of obligation either at home or at school. It turns out that pushing ourselves on labor is very beneficial and essential.
