Serbia is one of the most affordable destinations in Europe. Here are some beautiful places in Serbia that you can pay a visit to.
Mountain Avala
Overlooking Belgrade and topped with the Avala Tower in the Balkans, Mountain Avala is a must-visit spot that makes for a pleasant break from the capital’s busy streets. The Avala Tower is a tall telecommunication tower in this area which was rebuilt in 2010, offering the picture-perfect whole view over Belgrade from viewing platforms and a cafe for visitors.
Museum of Srem
The regional museum in the town of Sremska Mitrovica has a valuable collection in prehistoric, Roman and medieval periods. Its highlights are the numerous archaeological findings from Sremska Mitrovica, including a unique Roman sundial (日晷) with the sculptures of some figures.
The Gallery of Matica Srpska
The Gallery of Matica Srpska is one of the most significant and lasting cultural institutions in Serbia. It’s not a mere gallery but rather a national treasure, with several floors covering priceless Serbian artworks from the late 17th to the 20th century in different styles with countless landscapes and graphic art and more.
Uvac Special Nature Reserve
The spectacular meanders of the Uvac River are the highlights of the Uvac Special Nature Reserve in southwestern Serbia. The incredibly green river snakes through rocks in a zigzag manner—a feat of nature that is best admired from high above. The reserve, which also comprises a 6-kilometer-long cave system, owes its protected status to several hundred plant species, many types of fishes and rare bird species.

I first realized that plastic was a serious matter for our planet during my travel in Western Australia. One day about 12 years ago. I stopped at a supermarket along the Coral Bay coast to buy some groceries. But the lady at the counter told me that the supermarket didn’t sell any shopping bags to prevent plastic in the ocean and help preserve the endangered turtles (海龟) living in that area. After a first reaction of surprise, I gathered all purchases in my arms and left, reflecting on what I had been told.
The experience in that trip made me more conscious about my impact and pushed me to adopt various habits to travel and live more sustainable. For example, I always carried a cotton bag when I went shopping.
My travel to Indonesia was another life-changing experience that strengthened my determination to turn to a zero-waste lifestyle. In Indonesia, finding safe drinkable water was always a challenge, so I traveled with my water bottle, managing to avoid almost entirely the use of plastic during my trip.
However, I was seriously struck by my stay on the Libaran Island, where a sustainable and turtle conservation project was launched 10 years ago. Despite the big efforts by the project staff and the community in cleaning up the beaches and creatively reusing plastic, the shore was washed daily with tons of plastic coming from the tides. Walking on a carpet of plastic that almost prevented me from seeing the beach underneath was quite shocking.
Facing this global issue in person, I felt a sense of sadness and anger that soon turned into determination: to do as much as possible to reduce plastic in my life. Sometimes we might feel helpless in front of big problems, but we should be aware that small changes could actually make a difference step by step!
4. How does the author lead in the topic of the text
A. By reflecting on the present life.
B. By looking into the future environment.
C. By introducing the previous achievements.
D. By recalling the past shopping experience.
5. What did the author decide to do after the trip about 12 years ago
A. Cut back on travel. B. Shop less frequently.
C. Lead a green life. D. Purify drinking water.
6. What do we know about the project in paragraph 4
A. It had no clear goal. B. It didn’t work out very well.
C. It met the islanders’ needs. D. It was aimed to prevent turtle attacks.
7. What does the author think of the plastic problem
A. It is permanent. B. It is manageable.
C. It is easy to solve. D. It is lacking in attention.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者在旅行中对塑料问题的意识到，并且决心采取一些可持续生活方式来减少塑料使用。旅行中的经历让作者意识到塑料对地球的影响，特别是对海龟的影响。作者在印度尼西亚的旅行中进一步加强了对零浪费生活方式的决心。尽管在海龟保护项目中付出了很大努力，但塑料问题依然存在。最后，作者呼吁大家从自己做起，逐步减少塑料使用。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“I first realized that plastic was a serious matter for our planet during my travel in Western Australia. (在西澳大利亚旅行期间，我第一次意识到塑料对我们的星球来说是一个严重的问题)”可知，文章一开始作者回忆起12年前在澳大利亚的旅行中的一个购物经历，这个经历让作者第一次意识到塑料对地球的影响。由此推知，作者通过回忆过去的购物经历引入了文章的主题。故选D。

推理判断题。根据第四段中“Despite the big efforts by the project staff and the community in cleaning up the beaches and creatively reusing plastic, the shore was washed daily with tons of plastic coming from the tides. (尽管项目工作人员和社区在清理海滩和创造性地重复利用塑料方面做出了巨大努力，但海岸每天都被潮汐带来的成吨塑料冲刷)”可知，尽管项目的工作人员和社区在清理海滩，可是每天还是会带来成吨塑料。由此推知，该项目收效甚微即作用不大。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Facing this global issue in person, I felt a sense of sadness and anger that soon turned into determination: to do as much as possible to reduce plastic in my life. Sometimes we might feel helpless in front of big problems, but we should be aware that small changes could actually make a difference step by step!(面对这个全球性的问题，我感到一种悲伤和愤怒，很快就变成了决心：尽我所能减少生活中的塑料。有时我们可能会在大问题面前感到无助，但我们应该意识到，小的改变实际上可以一步一步地改变！)”可知，面临塑料污染这个全球性问题，作者感觉到悲伤和愤怒，虽然感觉到无助，但是作者相信从自身的小的改变一定可以产生大的影响即一步一步地改变并解决这个问题。由此推知，作者认为塑料问题一定是可以解决的。故选B。

Pleasanton Partnerships in Education Foundation(PPIE) was started in 1987 to raise money by organizing running events for local schools. Based in Pleasanton, California, a suburb of San Francisco, the non-profit organization recently hosted a family focused fitness event for the community. “Our event helps to bring the community together,” said Mindy Louie, events and outreach manager for PPIE. “We have more than 3,000 participants, hard-working volunteers and viewers.”
This year’s fitness event took place on April 30 at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. It featured races of two miles, five kilometers and ten kilometers. A new Kids Challenge consisted of a quarter-mile run to encourage younger children to participate. When asked to describe the run, 11-year-old Jeremy Louie said, “Fun, exciting and enjoyable.” Jeremy added that he was happy to help support his school.
PPIE supports all 15 schools in the Pleasanton Unified School District, which include more than 14,500 students and 800 teachers and staff. The nonprofit organization tries to fund programs affected by budget cuts, while encouraging fitness and athleticism. To date, the PPIE has raised over $1 million for the school district.
A local runners’ group called the BURN Youth Development(B. Y. D.) participated in the fundraising. The B. Y. D. has since grown to more than 100 youth members, 30 of whom ran in April’s PPIE event. Jerry Wu, the group’s founder and lead coach, explained that the B. Y. D. was born to keep kids running. “Watching them running strongly and happily makes me smile every time,” Jerry said.
Jerry encourages teamwork and teaches the students valuable running techniques. As a B. Y. D. member, Ollie Gu, an eighth grader, was one of the top finishers in the ten-kilometer run. He completed the race in 40 minutes and 46 seconds and won first place in the 12- to 15-year-old age group. “The race was extremely rewarding,” Ollie said. “I’m looking forward to it next year.”
8. Which race was recently created
A. A ten-kilometer run. B. A two-mile run.
C. A five-kilometer run. D. A quarter-mile run.
9. How is the influence of PPIE presented in paragraph 3
A. By listing data. B. By making a comparison.
C. By giving theoretic analysis. D. By conducting a questionnaire survey.
10. What did both Jerry and Ollie want to convey
A. Their duties as athletes. B. Their feelings as coaches.
C. Their recognition of the B. Y. D. D. Their anticipation of the next run.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. Sports volunteers. B. Racing for education.
C. Running with teachers. D. Young sportsmen.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A new Kids Challenge consisted of a quarter-mile run to encourage younger children to participate.(一项新的儿童挑战赛包括四分之一英里的跑步，以鼓励年龄较小的儿童参加。)”可知，最近创建的跑步比赛是四分之一英里跑步比赛。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“all 15 schools(所有15所学校)”；“more than 14,500 students and 800 teachers and staff(14500多名学生和800名教师和工作人员)”“over $1 million(超过100万美元)”可知，在讲述PPIE基金会的影响时，作者通过列数据的方式进行说明，简洁而有说服力。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“‘Watching them running strongly and happily makes me smile every time,’ Jerry said.(Jerry说：‘看着他们强劲快乐地奔跑，我每次都会心一笑。’)”和最后一段中的“‘The race was extremely rewarding,’ Ollie said. ‘I’m looking forward to it next year.’(‘这场比赛非常有收获，’Ollie说。‘我期待着明年的比赛。’)”可知，Jerry看到孩子们在B. Y. D.组织的比赛中跑步就会开心，Ollie认为这场比赛非常有收获并期待来年的比赛，由此可推测出，他们对B. Y. D.非常认可。故选C。

A Swiss radio station recently carried out a social experiment on air, testing robot-created voices and content. The 13-hour experiment took place at the French-language station Couleur 3. During the period, listeners heard the cloned voices of five human presenters. The station’s programming also included music created by artificial intelligence(AI) methods. The programming informed listeners about the experiment every 20 minutes. “AI is taking your favorite radio by storm,” a voice said. “Our voice clones and AI are here to unsettle, surprise and shake you. And for that matter, this text was also written by a robot.”
Recent AI developments have led to the creation of a series of tools that permit robots to lead different human activities. These tools belong to a group of systems known as “generative AI”. The tools use machine learning methods to train AI systems on huge amounts of data to produce human-quality results. One of the most highly publicized “generative AI” tools received wide attention by showing the ability to quickly produce written answers to questions at a level and quality similar to humans. However, the development of “generative AI” systems has led to some criticism of the technology. Critics have alerted people to the dangers of such systems. They say if used incorrectly, the systems can have economic, cultural and social harms.
The Swiss station’s chief, Antoine Multone, defended the project as a lesson on how to live with AI. Antoine said if we became ostriches (鸵鸟), we would put our heads in the sand, blindly worrying about the new technology. He thought when AI was coming, we should study the technology, so we could then properly put limits on it. He added that about 90 percent of the listener reactions suggested the experiment was a good idea. But many said they found the human element missing and noted, “You can sense these are robots, and there are fewer surprises, less personality.”
12. Why was the experiment conducted at Couleur 3
A. To test the texts the robot writes.
B. To test the vocal sounds the robot creates.
C. To test the capabilities of the human presenters.
D. To test the audience’s abilities of composing music.
13. What does the underlined word “alerted” mean in paragraph 2
A. Warned. B. Exposed. C. Shifted. D. Applied.
14. What should we do with AI according to Antoine
A Research and use it sensibly. B. Limit and prevent its progress.
C. Take human elements out of it. D. Take advantage of it without defense.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. New Technologies Changing Our Lives B. Language Barriers in AI Developments
C. Replacing Announcers with Robots D. Putting AI Voices on Radio
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. D
【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。当园丁在美丽的花园里种植各种各样的植物时，他们很高兴看到蜜蜂和蝴蝶等有益的昆虫围绕在花周围。但是当他们仔细观察时，他们可能会发现一些植物被黑点覆盖，并且充满了有害的昆虫或害虫。文章介绍如何预防害虫和使用农药。
【16题详解】
根据上文提示“Some gardeners may immediately reach for chemicals.（一些园丁可能会立即使用化学药品。）”，再根据下文提示“Although it may stop the insect problem, it will also threaten bees and butterflies which help the plants reproduce.（虽然它可以解决昆虫问题，但它也会威胁到帮助植物繁殖的蜜蜂和蝴蝶。）”可知，设空处与上文构成转折关系。所以A项But this is not wise.（但这是不明智的。）切题。故选A。
【17题详解】
根据下文提示“Only when there are too many harmful insects, should pest control be considered.（只有当有害昆虫太多的时候，才应该考虑害虫防治。）”可知，要接受有害虫。所以G项The process starts with the idea that having some pests is acceptable.（这个过程始于有一些害虫是可以接受的想法。）切题。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据上文提示“As a rule, prevention is the best treatment. Inspect plants closely, including their leaves, before buying them from the store.（一般来说，预防是最好的治疗。在从商店购买之前，仔细检查植物，包括它们的叶子。）”可知，有病虫害的植物不能带回家。所以F项Do not bring any plants home that show signs of disease or pests.（不要带任何有病虫害迹象的植物回家。）切题，其中选项中的also顺承了上文。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据下文提示“They invite pests if permitted to remain on the ground. When you do see pests, wash them away. Use rubbing alcohol to remove some insects, or pick them off the plants.（如果允许害虫留在地面上，它们会招来害虫。当你看到害虫时，把它们洗掉。用外用酒精去除一些昆虫，或者把它们从植物上摘下来。）”可知，要保持花园远离落叶和其他废物。所以E项Keep your garden free of fallen leaves, fruits and other wastes.（让你的花园远离落叶、水果和其他废物。）切题。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文提示“Avoid using pesticides in extreme heat, on windy days, or when the plants are wet.（避免在极端高温、大风天或植物潮湿时使用农药。）”可知，设空处应该是在说使用农药的时间。所以C项Treat the plants early in the morning or at night.（在清晨或晚上治疗植物。）切题。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国的第13个传统节气——立秋。
【36题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：虽然立秋通常意味着秋天的开始，但炎热的天气不会结束。空格处是让步状语从句的谓语，叙述客观事实，用一般现在时；主语Start of Autumn是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词应该用第三人称单数。故填indicates。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：虽然立秋通常意味着秋天的开始，但炎热的天气不会结束。根据空格前后的内容可知，考查固定短语come to an end“结束”。故填an。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：立秋后的一段炎热的日子，通常持续30天，被称为“秋老虎”或“印第安夏”。空格处用非谓语形式作定语，对主语the period of hot days进行限定说明，动词last和the period of hot days是主动关系，所以应该用现在分词形式。故填lasting。
【39题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：由于降水减少，这段时间比大暑期间更热。根据句意和下文的than以及空格前的even可知，应该用比较级hotter。故填hotter。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意：在立秋的第一天，人们会称他们的体重，并将他们的体重与立夏时的体重进行比较。谓语动词weigh的主语和宾语是同一人，所以应该用反身代词作宾语。故填themselves。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：如果一个人在夏天体重减轻了，那么她或他可以吃各种美味的食物，特别是肉增加体重。根据句意和空格后的动名词eating可知，空格处应该填入介词by表示“通过”。故填by。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：立秋对农民来说是一个非常重要的节气。此处修饰形容词big，应该用副词extremely，作状语。故填extremely。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：该是收庄稼的时候了。根据空格前的It is high time可知，此处是考查固定句型It is high time to do something“是该做什么的时候了”。故填to gather。
【44题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：桃核可以保存到除夕，扔进炉子里烧成灰烬。根据空格前的can可知，空格处应该用动词原形；主语the peach stones和动词keep之间是被动关系，所以应该用被动语态。故填be kept。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在山东，人们在立秋时包饺子，意思是“吃秋”。空格后的部分是一个非限制性定语从句，对前面主句的内容进行限定说明，该定语从句缺少主语，所以空格处应该填入一个关系代词，代指主句的内容在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which。故填which。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was in the early morning of one summer holiday that I was flying to Bali, Indonesia to see volcanoes. And my best friend was waiting for my arrival there. When I got off the plane and stepped out of the airport, I was thinking how unbelievable it was to stand in front of the spectacular volcano mountain. The imaginary sights distracted me, for a moment, from my current problem.
Only when I stood by the bus station to Bali, did I realize that I had no enough cash on me. The only ATM nearby didn’t seem to have any power, and I nervously looked down at my credit card, my only lifeline. I hoped there might be a way to convince the bus driver to let me on and pay him once I reached the destination and got the cash from my friend.
When the bus door opened, I stood behind a young lady and her little girl. I started to worry, wondering what I’d do if the credit card didn’t make the cut. They boarded the bus, paid in cash and sat down in the first row. When I approached the driver and held out my credit card, he looked at me seriously and shook his head.
“I don’t have any money,” I said. I showed him my wallet to confirm that I was telling the truth. He stared back blankly and then said no. I still wanted to convince him again. I pulled up my flight information on my phone and showed it to him. I pointed to the nearby ATM and signaled that it didn’t work. This time, he looked at me and apologized to me. “I’m really sorry. Can you make way for the other passengers ”
I stood aside. “What should I do ” I hesitated. It was the first time that I had visited the city. I was unfamiliar with everything around me. I searched the locations of other ATMs in the area. They were too far away. It would take me at least two hours to get there on foot. I really didn’t want my friend to wait for me too long, but unfortunately, I had to.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was about to get off the bus when the young lady stood up.

Once we arrived at Bali, I followed the young lady and her little girl off the bus.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I was about to get off the bus when the young lady stood up. “Would you mind me helping you pay the fee ” She asked me. Surprised and excited, I looked into her eyes and said, “You are so generous to help me out. I’m more than grateful to your deed.” Hearing what I said, the young lady just smiled and paid for me. “Thank you very much, lady. After getting off, I’ll ask my friend to pay you back.” I said thankfully. “Just forget it.” She said.
Once we arrived at Bali, I followed the young lady and her little girl off the bus. My friend was waiting for me eagerly. Seeing me, he approached and asked worriedly, “Why are you so late What happened to you ” I explained the whole story to him briefly and said, “Don’t worry too much. I’m OK now. Please lend me some money to pay back to the generous lady.” But when I gave her the money, she refused it at first. Realizing our insistence, she accepted it finally. My friend and I thanked her again and helped them cross the road.

Serbia is one of the most affordable destinations in Europe. Here are some beautiful places in Serbia that you can pay a visit to.
Mountain Avala
Overlooking Belgrade and topped with the Avala Tower in the Balkans, Mountain Avala is a must-visit spot that makes for a pleasant break from the capital’s busy streets. The Avala Tower is a tall telecommunication tower in this area which was rebuilt in 2010, offering the picture-perfect whole view over Belgrade from viewing platforms and a cafe for visitors.
Museum of Srem
The regional museum in the town of Sremska Mitrovica has a valuable collection in prehistoric, Roman and medieval periods. Its highlights are the numerous archaeological findings from Sremska Mitrovica, including a unique Roman sundial (日晷) with the sculptures of some figures.
The Gallery of Matica Srpska
The Gallery of Matica Srpska is one of the most significant and lasting cultural institutions in Serbia. It’s not a mere gallery but rather a national treasure, with several floors covering priceless Serbian artworks from the late 17th to the 20th century in different styles with countless landscapes and graphic art and more.

I first realized that plastic was a serious matter for our planet during my travel in Western Australia. One day about 12 years ago. I stopped at a supermarket along the Coral Bay coast to buy some groceries. But the lady at the counter told me that the supermarket didn’t sell any shopping bags to prevent plastic in the ocean and help preserve the endangered turtles (海龟) living in that area. After a first reaction of surprise I gathered all purchases in my arms and left, reflecting on what I had been told.
The experience in that trip made me more conscious about my impact and pushed me to adopt various habits to travel and live more sustainable. For example, I always carried a cotton bag when I went shopping.
My travel to Indonesia was another life-changing experience that strengthened my determination to turn to a zero-waste lifestyle. In Indonesia, finding safe drinkable water was always a challenge, so I traveled with my water bottle, managing to avoid almost entirely the use of plastic during my trip.
However, I was seriously struck by my stay on the Libaran Island, where a sustainable and turtle conservation project was launched 10 years ago. Despite the big efforts by the project staff and the community in cleaning up the beaches and creatively reusing plastic, the shore was washed daily with tons of plastic coming from the tides. Walking on a carpet of plastic that almost prevented me from seeing the beach underneath was quite shocking.
Facing this global issue in person, I felt a sense of sadness and anger that soon turned into determination: to do as much as possible to reduce plastic in my life. Sometimes we might feel helpless in front of big problems, but we should be aware that small changes could actually make a difference step by step!
4. How does the author lead in the topic of the text
A. By reflecting on the present life.

D. By recalling the past shopping experience.
5. What did the author decide to do after the trip about 12 years ago
A. Cut back on travel. B. Shop less frequently.
C. Lead a green life. D. Purify drinking water.
6. What do we know about the project in paragraph 4
A. It had no clear goal. B. It didn’t work out very well.
C. It met the islanders’ needs. D. It was aimed to prevent turtle attacks.
7. What does the author think of the plastic problem
A. It is permanent. B. It is manageable.
C. It is easy to solve. D. It is lacking in attention.

Pleasanton Partnerships in Education Foundation(PPIE) was started in 1987 to raise money by organizing running events for local schools. Based in Pleasanton, California, a suburb of San Francisco, the non-profit organization recently hosted a family focused fitness event for the community. “Our event helps to bring the community together,” said Mindy Louie, events and outreach manager for PPIE. “We have more than 3,000 participants, hard-working volunteers and viewers.”
This year’s fitness event took place on April 30 at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. It featured races of two miles, five kilometers and ten kilometers. A new Kids Challenge consisted of a quarter-mile run to encourage younger children to participate. When asked to describe the run, 11-year-old Jeremy Louie said, “Fun, exciting and enjoyable.” Jeremy added that he was happy to help support his school.
PPIE supports all 15 schools in the Pleasanton Unified School District, which include more than 14,500 students and 800 teachers and staff. The nonprofit organization tries to fund programs affected by budget cuts, while encouraging fitness and athleticism. To date, the PPIE has raised over $1 million for the school district.
A local runners’ group called the BURN Youth Development(B. Y. D.) participated in the fundraising. The B. Y. D. has since grown to more than 100 youth members, 30 of whom ran in April’s PPIE event. Jerry Wu, the group’s founder and lead coach, explained that the B. Y. D. was born to keep kids running. “Watching them running strongly and happily makes me smile every time,” Jerry said.
Jerry encourages teamwork and teaches the students valuable running techniques. As a B. Y. D. member, Ollie Gu, an eighth grader, was one of the top finishers in the ten-kilometer run. He completed the race in 40 minutes and 46 seconds and won first place in the 12- to 15-year-old age group. “The race was extremely rewarding,” Ollie said. “I’m looking forward to it next year.”
8. Which race was recently created
A. A ten-kilometer run. B. A two-mile run.
C. A five-kilometer run. D. A quarter-mile run.
9. How is the influence of PPIE presented in paragraph 3
A. By listing data. B. By making a comparison.
C. By giving theoretic analysis. D. By conducting a questionnaire survey.
10. What did both Jerry and Ollie want to convey
A. Their duties as athletes. B. Their feelings as coaches.
C. Their recognition of the B. Y. D. D. Their anticipation of the next run.

A Swiss radio station recently carried out a social experiment on air, testing robot-created voices and content. The 13-hour experiment took place at the French-language station Couleur 3. During the period, listeners heard the cloned voices of five human presenters. The station’s programming also included music created by artificial intelligence(AI) methods. The programming informed listeners about the experiment every 20 minutes. “AI is taking your favorite radio by storm,” a voice said. “Our voice clones and AI are here to unsettle, surprise and shake you. And for that matter, this text was also written by a robot.”
Recent AI developments have led to the creation of a series of tools that permit robots to lead different human activities. These tools belong to a group of systems known as “generative AI”. The tools use machine learning methods to train AI systems on huge amounts of data to produce human-quality results. One of the most highly publicized “generative AI” tools received wide attention by showing the ability to quickly produce written answers to questions at a level and quality similar to humans. However, the development of “generative AI” systems has led to some criticism of the technology. Critics have alerted people to the dangers of such systems. They say if used incorrectly, the systems can have economic, cultural and social harms.
The Swiss station’s chief, Antoine Multone, defended the project as a lesson on how to live with AI. Antoine said if we became ostriches (鸵鸟), we would put our heads in the sand, blindly worrying about the new technology. He thought when AI was coming, we should study the technology, so we could then properly put limits on it. He added that about 90 percent of the listener reactions suggested the experiment was a good idea. But many said they found the human element missing and noted, “You can sense these are robots, and there are fewer surprises, less personality.”
12. Why was the experiment conducted at Couleur 3
A. To test the texts the robot writes.
B. To test the vocal sounds the robot creates.
C. To test the capabilities of the human presenters.
D. To test the audience’s abilities of composing music.
13. What does the underlined word “alerted” mean in paragraph 2
A. Warned. B. Exposed. C. Shifted. D. Applied.
14. What should we do with AI according to Antoine
A. Research and use it sensibly. B. Limit and prevent its progress.
C. Take human elements out of it. D. Take advantage of it without defense.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. New Technologies Changing Our Lives B. Language Barriers in AI Developments
C. Replacing Announcers with Robots D. Putting AI Voices on Radio

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was in the early morning of one summer holiday that I was flying to Bali, Indonesia to see volcanoes. And my best friend was waiting for my arrival there. When I got off the plane and stepped out of the airport, I was thinking how unbelievable it was to stand in front of the spectacular volcano mountain. The imaginary sights distracted me, for a moment, from my current problem.
Only when I stood by the bus station to Bali, did I realize that I had no enough cash on me. The only ATM nearby didn’t seem to have any power, and I nervously looked down at my credit card, my only lifeline. I hoped there might be a way to convince the bus driver to let me on and pay him once I reached the destination and got the cash from my friend.
When the bus door opened, I stood behind a young lady and her little girl. I started to worry, wondering what I’d do if the credit card didn’t make the cut. They boarded the bus, paid in cash and sat down in the first row. When I approached the driver and held out my credit card, he looked at me seriously and shook his head.
“I don’t have any money,” I said. I showed him my wallet to confirm that I was telling the truth. He stared back blankly and then said no. I still wanted to convince him again. I pulled up my flight information on my phone and showed it to him. I pointed to the nearby ATM and signaled that it didn’t work. This time, he looked at me and apologized to me. “I’m really sorry. Can you make way for the other passengers ”
I stood aside. “What should I do ” I hesitated. It was the first time that I had visited the city. I was unfamiliar with everything around me. I searched the locations of other ATMs in the area. They were too far away. It would take me at least two hours to get there on foot. I really didn’t want my friend to wait for me too long, but unfortunately, I had to.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was about to get off the bus when the young lady stood up.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Once we arrived at Bali, I followed the young lady and her little girl off the bus.
