Thephilus Tetteh is an African cntemprary artist frm Ghana. He buried himself in the study f graphic design and painting at schl while experimenting with different media themes.
Nw we hear abut African painters stepping int the sptlight, but it might be challenging fr Ghanaian artists t bring their careers t cmmercial success and critical recgnitin. The art market as such is nt yet established in Ghana. The cuntry desn’t even have a natinal gallery t preserve and prmte Ghanaian art. It can be prblematic fr yung painters wh cannt affrd t mve t Eurpe r the US t prmte and market their art. Besides, many yung artists can even have truble getting painting materials.
Things changed fr Tetteh when he gt featured in BE OPEN Art, an nline gallery f cntemprary art. It was funded by philanthrpist Elena Baturina with a desire t prvide emerging artists wrldwide with an pprtunity t shw their wrks t the wrld f art prfessinals. The platfrm especially welcmes artists wh dn’t have resurces r prmtinal pprtunities such as graduates and self-taught artists.
In December 2020, Tetteh was vted the Artist f the Mnth by the visitrs f the BE OPEN Art. Later, he was chsen as the gallery’s first-ever Artist f the Year. The award brught him favrable publicity, s he was nticed by the art cmmunity, the media, cllectrs, etc. In 2021, he was interviewed frequently by the media and featured in a famus magazine. All these things let the prices f the artist’s wrk inch upwards.
Tetteh thinks the wrld can be a better place if yung artists are guided n their way withut any frm f disregard, but with supprt f the senir. As his name has hit headlines f the arts wrld media, he hpes t help prmte emerging talents in his native cuntry. “The art makes the man and the man makes the art,” he says.
4. What can we learn abut Ghanaian artists frm paragraphs 1-2?
A. They tend t cmbine designs with media themes.
B. They have established an art market t prmte wrks.
C. They desire prfessinal guidance n preserving natinal art.
D. They lack a supprtive platfrm t realize cmmercial value f their wrks.
5. Why des Elena Baturina establish BE OPEN Art?
A. T prmte ancient African art treasures.
B. T braden the artistic visin f self-taught artists.
C. T prvide chances fr yung artists t display artistic talents.
D. T spnsr a prject fr the cntemprary emerging artists frm Ghana.
6. What kind f persn is Tetteh accrding t the last paragraph?
A. Scially respnsible.B. Amazingly talented.
C. Cmmercially smart.D. Culturally cnservative.
7. Which f the fllwing best describes Tetteh’s change f fate?

The Intergvernmental Panel n Climate Change (IPCC) released a reprt. It stated that the wrld is quickly running ut f time t keep glbal warming belw 1.5 degrees Celsius, the level widely agreed t be the cnservative, safety-first gal t prevent serius climate harm. T get there, the wrld wuld have t cut current emissins (排放物) by 45 percent by 2030. That sunds absurdly unlikely.
But befre we give in t despair, we shuld remember that the technlgy t address climate change is ging alng at high speed. The largest surce f US carbn emissins is transprtatin, and a Green New Deal prgram fr mtr vehicles wuld be quite straightfrward.
The reasn is simple: With sme subsidies (补贴), electric cars and buses are cst- cmpetitive with fssil-fuel vehicles. Electric buses have gne int the market at the greatest speed, because they are a lgical chice fr electrificatin. At the end f 2018, electric vehicles were displacing abut 280,000 barrels f il demand per day. That’s mre than the whle cnsumptin f Greece.
And the electric car market is als reaching maturity, with appealing designs, lnger range, and a quickly-expanding rapid charging netwrk in many cuntries. It’s wrth emphasizing that mst f the basic systems necessary t recharge electric vehicles already exist. Peple ften tend t assume that we wuld need t replace every gas statin, but virtually all hmes and businesses already have an electrical cnnectin which can be easily imprved fr fast charging. All that is needed t g fully electric is enugh battery capacity and fast charging statins t deal with lng trips.
Nw America wuld have t repair its electricity prductin, rails, shipping, and s n t fully decarbnize (脱碳) the transprtatin sectr. It will be cnsiderably mre difficult than simply rting ut fssil fuel vehicles frm the market.
But greening America’s vehicles wuld be straightfrward, relatively cheap, and a huge step frward n climate. The plitics f climate change are s fearful that despair can seem lgical, but the first step in achieving a tugh gal is the firm belief that it can be dne. And this particular step wuldn’t even be that tugh.
8. What can we infer frm the IPCC’s reprt?
A. The wrld is suffering serius climate harm.
B. Glbal warming is grwing ut f ur cntrl.
C. We are t cnservative t deal with glbal warming.
D. Cutting emissins is the easiest way t stp climate change.
9. Hw can electric vehicles cmpete with fssil-fuel nes?
A. By running at the greatest speed.
B. By changing the way f transprtatin.
C. By making cnsumers have lgical chices.
D. By getting financial supprt frm gvernments.
10. What is peple’s cmmn misunderstanding abut electric cars?
A. They aren’t s efficient in reducing emissins.
B. There’s still much rm fr designing new nes.
C. There aren’t enugh fast charging statins fr them.
D. Hme electrical cnnectin can be used fr charging them.
11. What’s the authr’s attitude twards greening America’s vehicles?
A. Dubtful.B. Critical.C. Psitive.D. Uncaring.
D
ChatGPT is a new AI system that sunds s human in cnversatins that it culd hst its wn radi prgrams. Reading between its instantly generated, perfectly grammatical lines, peple see different visins f the future. Withut dubt, ChatGPT is impressive.
Sme cmpare the emergence f ChatGPT t the impact f the iPhne, but that desn’t d it justice. ChatGPT, as well as the generative AI that will fllw and utsmart it, is mre disruptive. And yet, that desn’t necessarily mean the end f the wrld is upn us. On the cntrary, ChatGPT, I wuld argue, might serve t make us mre aware f ur irreplaceable human qualities.
Take the creative act, writing in particular, as an example. If yu want it t, the AI-pwered chatbt always prduces smething because it has the whle wrld f nline data t draw frm. But unlike us, it lacks the cnsciusness. Thinking is hard, critical thinking even harder, and ChatGPT isn’t gd at either. It just restates what has already been said; it is ne big recycling machine.
There is anther bvius limitatin f ChatGPT. Philspher Harry Frankfurt nce claimed: the difference between a bullshitter (胡说八道的人) and a liar is that the liar knws what the truth is but decides t take the ppsite directin; a bullshitter, hwever, has n regard fr the truth at all. The AI schlar Gary Marcus applies this distinctin t ChatGPT. He believes that we have reached a critical pint when “the price f bullshit reaches zer and peple wh want t spread misinfrmatin, either plitically r just t make a prfit, start ding that plentifully”. Unfrtunately, ChatGPT will reprduce misinfrmatin frm any f its input surces — it is nt an intelligent system that tries t balance r weight different perspectives. In this sense, everything that ChatGPT writes is bullshit.
This is why the s-called AIQ is critical. It is actually an extensin and a measurement f ur human IQ: ur verall knwledge f AI tls, ur mastery f clues, and ur ethical awareness. ChatGPT is ging t change everything and nthing. Creativity, imaginatin and ethics — these will all remain unique human dmains. It is the AI’s very limitatins that will make us appreciate ur wn.
12. What can we learn abut ChatGPT?
A. It helps generate an artificial vice.
B. It prvides instructins n writing skills.
C. It generates natural language respnses.
D. It ffers a service fr language learning.
13. What des the underlined wrd “disruptive” in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Evil.B. Cmparable.C. Prfitable.D. Revlutinary.
14. Why des the authr cnsider ChatGPT as a bullshit generatr?
A. It makes up lies cnstantly.
B. It can’t tell right frm wrng.
C. It ften makes unfair judgement.
D. It always takes a neutral standpint.
15. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. ChatGPT Makes Us Human
B. ChatGPT Is Causing Panic Nw
C. ChatGPT: Treat It Like a Ty, Nt a Tl
D. ChatGPT: Why It Is Bund t Generate Bullshit

The Intergvernmental Panel n Climate Change (IPCC) released a reprt. It stated that the wrld is quickly running ut f time t keep glbal warming belw 1.5 degrees Celsius, the level widely agreed t be the cnservative, safety-first gal t prevent serius climate harm. T get there, the wrld wuld have t cut current emissins (排放物) by 45 percent by 2030. That sunds absurdly unlikely.
But befre we give in t despair, we shuld remember that the technlgy t address climate change is ging alng at high speed. The largest surce f US carbn emissins is transprtatin, and a Green New Deal prgram fr mtr vehicles wuld be quite straightfrward.
The reasn is simple: With sme subsidies (补贴), electric cars and buses are cst- cmpetitive with fssil-fuel vehicles. Electric buses have gne int the market at the greatest speed, because they are a lgical chice fr electrificatin. At the end f 2018, electric vehicles were displacing abut 280,000 barrels f il demand per day. That’s mre than the whle cnsumptin f Greece.
And the electric car market is als reaching maturity, with appealing designs, lnger range, and a quickly-expanding rapid charging netwrk in many cuntries. It’s wrth emphasizing that mst f the basic systems necessary t recharge electric vehicles already exist. Peple ften tend t assume that we wuld need t replace every gas statin, but virtually all hmes and businesses already have an electrical cnnectin which can be easily imprved fr fast charging. All that is needed t g fully electric is enugh battery capacity and fast charging statins t deal with lng trips.
Nw America wuld have t repair its electricity prductin, rails, shipping, and s n t fully decarbnize (脱碳) the transprtatin sectr. It will be cnsiderably mre difficult than simply rting ut fssil fuel vehicles frm the market.
But greening America’s vehicles wuld be straightfrward, relatively cheap, and a huge step frward n climate. The plitics f climate change are s fearful that despair can seem lgical, but the first step in achieving a tugh gal is the firm belief that it can be dne. And this particular step wuldn’t even be that tugh.
8. What can we infer frm the IPCC’s reprt?
A. The wrld is suffering serius climate harm.
B. Glbal warming is grwing ut f ur cntrl.
C. We are t cnservative t deal with glbal warming.
D. Cutting emissins is the easiest way t stp climate change.
9. Hw can electric vehicles cmpete with fssil-fuel nes?
A. By running at the greatest speed.
B. By changing the way f transprtatin.
C. By making cnsumers have lgical chices.
D. By getting financial supprt frm gvernments.
10. What is peple’s cmmn misunderstanding abut electric cars?
A. They aren’t s efficient in reducing emissins.
B. There’s still much rm fr designing new nes.
C. There aren’t enugh fast charging statins fr them.
D. Hme electrical cnnectin can be used fr charging them.
11. What’s the authr’s attitude twards greening America’s vehicles?
A. Dubtful.B. Critical.C. Psitive.D. Uncaring.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了大力推广电动汽车是减少二氧化碳排放、阻止全球变暖的主要方法之一。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It stated that the wrld is quickly running ut f time t keep glbal warming belw 1.5 degrees Celsius, the level widely agreed t be the cnservative, safety-first gal t prevent serius climate harm. T get there, the wrld wuld have t cut current emissins by 45 percent by 2030. That sunds absurdly unlikely. (报告指出，世界很快就没有时间将全球变暖控制在1.5摄氏度以下，这一水平被广泛认为是防止严重的气候危害的保守的、安全第一的目标。要实现这一目标，到2030年，世界必须将目前的排放量减少45%。这听起来不可思议)”可知，从IPCC的报告中可以推断出，全球变暖变得越来越超出人类的控制。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The reasn is simple: With sme subsidies (补贴), electric cars and buses are cst- cmpetitive with fssil-fuel vehicles.(原因很简单：有了一些补贴，电动汽车和公共汽车与化石燃料汽车相比具有成本竞争力)”可知，通过获得政府的财政支持，电动汽车可以在成本上与化石燃料汽车竞争。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Peple ften tend t assume that we wuld need t replace every gas statin, but virtually all hmes and businesses already have an electrical cnnectin which can be easily imprved fr fast charging.(人们往往认为我们需要更换每一个加油站，但实际上所有的家庭和企业都已经有了电气连接，可以很容易地改善快速充电)”可知，人们往往认为需要更换每一个加油站，所以人们对电动汽车的普遍误解是没有足够的快速充电站供他们使用。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“And the electric car market is als reaching maturity, with appealing designs, lnger range, and a quickly-expanding rapid charging netwrk in many cuntries.(电动汽车市场也正在走向成熟，其设计吸引人，续航里程更长，并在许多国家迅速扩大快速充电网络)”以及最后一段“But greening America’s vehicles wuld be straightfrward, relatively cheap, and a huge step frward n climate.(但绿化美国的汽车将是直接的、相对便宜的，也是在气候问题上迈出的一大步)”可知，作者认为电动汽车市场正在走向成熟，电动汽车的优点很多，并且可以作为应对气候问题的方式，推测作者对于电动汽车持有积极的态度。故选C。

ChatGPT is a new AI system that sunds s human in cnversatins that it culd hst its wn radi prgrams. Reading between its instantly generated, perfectly grammatical lines, peple see different visins f the future. Withut dubt, ChatGPT is impressive.
Sme cmpare the emergence f ChatGPT t the impact f the iPhne, but that desn’t d it justice. ChatGPT, as well as the generative AI that will fllw and utsmart it, is mre disruptive. And yet, that desn’t necessarily mean the end f the wrld is upn us. On the cntrary, ChatGPT, I wuld argue, might serve t make us mre aware f ur irreplaceable human qualities.
Take the creative act, writing in particular, as an example. If yu want it t, the AI-pwered chatbt always prduces smething because it has the whle wrld f nline data t draw frm. But unlike us, it lacks the cnsciusness. Thinking is hard, critical thinking even harder, and ChatGPT isn’t gd at either. It just restates what has already been said; it is ne big recycling machine.
There is anther bvius limitatin f ChatGPT. Philspher Harry Frankfurt nce claimed: the difference between a bullshitter (胡说八道的人) and a liar is that the liar knws what the truth is but decides t take the ppsite directin; a bullshitter, hwever, has n regard fr the truth at all. The AI schlar Gary Marcus applies this distinctin t ChatGPT. He believes that we have reached a critical pint when “the price f bullshit reaches zer and peple wh want t spread misinfrmatin, either plitically r just t make a prfit, start ding that plentifully”. Unfrtunately, ChatGPT will reprduce misinfrmatin frm any f its input surces — it is nt an intelligent system that tries t balance r weight different perspectives. In this sense, everything that ChatGPT writes is bullshit.
This is why the s-called AIQ is critical. It is actually an extensin and a measurement f ur human IQ: ur verall knwledge f AI tls, ur mastery f clues, and ur ethical awareness. ChatGPT is ging t change everything and nthing. Creativity, imaginatin and ethics — these will all remain unique human dmains. It is the AI’s very limitatins that will make us appreciate ur wn.
12. What can we learn abut ChatGPT?
A. It helps generate an artificial vice.
B. It prvides instructins n writing skills.
C. It generates natural language respnses.
D. It ffers a service fr language learning.
13. What des the underlined wrd “disruptive” in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Evil.B. Cmparable.C. Prfitable.D. Revlutinary.
14. Why des the authr cnsider ChatGPT as a bullshit generatr?
A. It makes up lies cnstantly.
B. It can’t tell right frm wrng.
C. It ften makes unfair judgement.
D It always takes a neutral standpint.
15. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. ChatGPT Makes Us Human
B. ChatGPT Is Causing Panic Nw
C. ChatGPT: Treat It Like a Ty, Nt a Tl
D. ChatGPT: Why It Is Bund t Generate Bullshit
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了ChatGPT作为一种新型人工智能系统，虽然它有令人印象深刻的优点，但它缺少人类不可替代的品质，正是人工智能的这些局限性才让我们欣赏自我。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“ChatGPT is a new AI system that sunds s human in cnversatins that it culd hst its wn radi prgrams.(ChatGPT是一个新的人工智能系统，在对话中听起来很像人，它可以主持自己的广播节目)”可知，ChatGPT在对话中听起来很像人。由此推知，它能够用非常自然的语言进行回答。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前面一句“Sme cmpare the emergence f ChatGPT t the impact f the iPhne, but that desn’t d it justice.(有人将ChatGPT的出现比作iPhne的影响，但这并不公正)”和划线词后面的“And yet, that desn’t necessarily mean the end f the wrld is upn us. On the cntrary, ChatGPT, I wuld argue, might serve t make us mre aware f ur irreplaceable human qualities.(然而，这并不一定意味着世界末日即将来临。相反，我认为，ChatGPT可能会让我们更加意识到我们不可替代的人类品质)”可知，ChatGPT的出现所带来的影响比iPhne更大，它更加disruptive，这并不意味着世界毁灭，而是会让人类意识到自身不可替代的品质。由此推知，这里是说ChatGPT更具革命性，与revlutinary意思最接近。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Unfrtunately, ChatGPT will reprduce misinfrmatin frm any f its input surces — it is nt an intelligent system that tries t balance r weight different perspectives. In this sense, everything that ChatGPT writes is bullshit.(不幸的是，ChatGPT将从其任何输入来源复制错误信息——它不是一个试图平衡或权衡不同观点的智能系统。从这个意义上说，ChatGPT所写的一切都是胡说八道)”可知，ChatGPT只是复制各种来源的错误信息，而不会思考其中观点的正误，所以它是一个胡说八道生成器。由此推知，ChatGPT不能辨别是非。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第二段中的最后一句“On the cntrary, ChatGPT, I wuld argue, might serve t make us mre aware f ur irreplaceable human qualities.(相反，我认为，ChatGPT可能会让我们更加意识到我们不可替代的人类品质)”承上启下，引出接下来作者谈论的ChatGPT所具有的局限性，并根据最后一段中的“It is the AI’s very limitatins that will make us appreciate ur wn.(正是人工智能的局限性让我们欣赏自己)”可知，这里对上文进行总结，讲述了人工智能的局限性让我们能够更好地意识到我们所具有的人性特点。由此可知，本文主要的论点是：ChatGPT让我们意识到我们人类身上不可替代的人性特点，A项“ChatGPT让我们彰显人性”最适合作本文标题。故选A。

(情商的核心之一是自我调节，这是工作场所的一项重要技能。像任何技能一样，掌握情绪自我控制需要有意识和实践)”引出话题，说明情绪自我控制技能的重要性，以及掌握它需要的要素，后文具体介绍了四种情绪控制的方法，因此G项“Here are fur ways yu can develp greater emtinal self-management (这里有四种方法可以提高你的情绪自我管理能力)”符合语境，表明提升该能力有方法，承上启下，其中的emtinal self-management和前文的emtinal self-cntrl呼应。故选G。
17题详解】
前文“At that pint, althugh still physilgically keyed up, yu will be able t ask yurself, “What is the best curse f actin right nw?” r “What advice wuld I give smene else wh is in my shes?” (在那个阶段，尽管生理上仍然很紧张，但你可以问自己：‘现在最好的做法是什么？’或者‘如果是我，我会给别人什么建议？’)”建议停下来去思考这些问题，因此E项“Stay fcused n cming up with an answer and fllwing thrugh n it (专注于想出一个答案，并坚持到底)”符合语境，进一步说明要想出答案，承接前文，其中的answer和前文的两个问题呼应。故选E。
【18题详解】

As far as I am cncern, I have a preference fr the stries behind sme Chinese idims. Nt nly are they particular interesting, but they als tend t teach sme wisdm. I sincerely hpe yu can learn them well.

【答案】1. cnsist→cnsisting
2. matter前加a
3. were→are
4. it→them
5. fllwing→fllws
6. 去掉many后的f
7. cntribute→cntributes
8. which→what
9. cncern→cncerned
10. particular→particularly
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章中作者给朋友介绍了中国成语及其特点。
【详解】1. 考查非谓语动词。句意：汉语成语，主要由四个或四个以上的汉字组成，一直吸引着那些学习汉语的人。根据句子结构分析可知，cnsist为非谓语动词作状语，因逻辑主语Chinese idims与cnsist是主动关系，因此需要使用现在分词的形式。故将cnsist改为cnsisting。
2. 考查冠词。句意：事实上，它们是中国文化不可或缺的一部分。固定搭配“As a matter f fact”意为“实际上”,matter的发音以辅音音素开头，故用a，故在matter前加a。
3. 考查时态。句意：事实上，它们是中国文化不可或缺的一部分。根据语篇语境可知，本文是描述中国成语，属于一般事实，需要使用一般现在时。故将were改为are。
4. 考查代词。句意：学习它们的好处可以罗列如下。根据上文“Chinese idims(中国成语)”可知，此处代词代指的是复数名词Chinese idims，因此代词需要使用them，故将it改为them。
5. 考查副词短语。句意：学习它们的好处可以罗列如下。根据短语“as fllws”意为“如下所述”，故将fllwing改为fllws。
6. 考查形容词短语。句意：很多成语在日常生活中被广泛应用。a great many意为“大量的”，直接修饰名词，不需要使用介词f，故将f删除。
7. 考查主谓一致。句意：对它们的了解有助于更好地理解汉语的口语和书面语。根据句子结构分析可知，此处主语“having a gd knwledge f them(掌握成语)”为单数概念，因此谓语动词需使用第三人称单数形式。故将cntribute改为cntributes。
8. 考查宾语从句。句意：其次，它们通常具有生动而丰富的含义，使人们试图传达的内容更有说服力。根据句子结构分析可知，此句为连词引导从句作make的宾语，从句中缺少宾语，且指代事物，因此需要使用连词what，故将which改为what。
9. 考查形容词。句意：就我而言，我更喜欢一些中国成语背后的故事。根据句子结构分析可知，am后需要使用形容词作表语，as far as I am cncerned“就我而言”。故将cncern改为cncerned。
10. 考查副词。句意：它们不仅特别有趣，而且往往传递智慧。根据句子结构分析可知，此处需使用副词修饰形容词interesting。故将particular改为particularly。
