The sisters’ identical answers to 296 of 307 questions, including 54 wrong answers, raised alarm bells among university officials, who launched an investigation into the twins’ performance.“It was an eight-hour exam during which we exhibited normal test-taking behavior,” Kayla Bingham said.The Binghams successfully appealed against the decision and filed a lawsuit (起訴) against the university, arguing that for years they had behaved and performed similarly academically and in athletics. After a four-day trial in November, a South Carolina jury (陪審團(tuán)) decided the school had wronged the sisters and awarded them a total of $1.5 million in damages.The Binghams’ legal case depended on the theory that it is common for identical twins to perform similarly on tests given their genetic profiles. Nancy Segal, who runs California State University, Fullerton’s Twin Studies Center and who testified in the case, said, “I would have been surprised if they hadn’t scored alike.”In their suit, the Binghams said the cheating allegations (指控) led to their experiencing psychological distress, including panic attacks and stress disorder.“It was a very hostile environment. People we had known, sat next to and studied with for two years would not speak to us,” Kellie Bingham told CBS. “They knew our work ethic (道德準(zhǔn)則) and study habits but refused to hear our side of the story. People we trusted completely turned their backs on us.”The university’s accusation and the events that followed also interfered with the Binghams’ plans to become doctors. The two now work as government affairs advisers at the same South Carolina law firm. “We came to understand that once word gets out, even if it’s not accurate, it damages your reputation as a person. So we completely switched tracks,” Kayla said, adding that she “wanted to fight back because I had been wronged.”24.Why were the twins accused of cheating in the exam?A.They did a good job in the test.B.They exhibited abnormal test-taking behavior.C.They were seen signaling one another and passing notes.D.They had remarkably similar test performance.25.What can be learned from paragraph 3 and 4?A.The Binghams at last lost the lawsuit against the university.B.Nancy Segal was not satisfied with the jury’s decision.C.The jury’s decision was based on a theory about identical twins.D.This was the first time that the Binghams had scored alike.26.What attitude do people have towards the twins after the cheating allegations?A.Approving.B.Suspicious.C.Objective.D.Tolerant.27.What influence does the university’s accusation have on the twins?A.They will stick to being a doctor and helping those suffering people.B.They’ve decided to become advisors instead of doctors.C.Their reputation has been damaged so they can’t be doctors.D.They’ve handled it very well and are in a good mental state.CIf you’ve ever felt a rush of intense emotion, then you’ve probably also experienced the crash that comes when those emotions gradually become less strong. Although we usually think of exhaustion (精疲力竭) in physical terms, it can also be mental. One of the contributors to mental exhaustion is high-intensity emotions. Too many of these high-intensity emotions, whether they are positive or negative, can lead to burnout.Psychologists divide emotions into two dimensions, which includes high and low intensity, as well as positive and negative. High-intensity positive emotions include excitement or elation, while low-intensity positive emotions include calmness, or contentment. When it comes to negative emotions, high-intensity emotions include anger, anxiety, and fear, while low-intensity emotions include sadness, boredom, and tiredness.It’s easy to see how high-intensity negative emotions like anger can be exhausting. What we don’t think about as much is the fact that high intensity positive emotions are also exhausting, although in a way that feels very different.Excitement, even when it is fun, involves what psychologists call “physiological arousal”-- activation of our sympathetic system. High-intensity positive emotions involve the same physiological arousal as high-intensity negative emotions. Our heart rate increases, and our sweat glands (腺) activate. Because it activates the body’s stress response, excitement can deplete our system when sustained over longer periods. In other words, high intensity -- whether it’s from negative states or positive states- exhausts the body.About 15-20% of people are thought to be highly sensitive. As they cycle through the highs and lows of life, the increased amount of intensity leaves them more exhausted than others.This isn’t to say that we should never feel intense emotions. Emotional variety is an essential aspect of life, one that adds a depth and richness that we need. However, what we need to be mindful of is balance. There will be the exciting days, as well as the days when stress and anxiety are what push you through the tough times, but there are other, lower-intensity emotions that will serve us well in many other situations.28.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?A.The functions of emotions.B.The definition of emotions.C.The categories of emotions.D.The expression of emotions.29.What does the underlined word “deplete” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Set off.B.Build up.C.Stand for.D.Burn out.30.How can we manage the stress of high-intensity emotions?A.Enrich our daily lives.B.Avoid intense emotions.C.Create emotional balance.D.Detect the cause of anxiety.31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.Why psychologists are more exhaustedB.How high-intensity emotions wear us outC.Why high-intensity negative emotions are tiringD.How psychologists explain the effects of emotionsDIn August, Jason M. Allen’s piece “Theatre D’opéra Spatial”-which he created with Al image generator Midjourney -won first place in the emerging artist division’s “digital arts photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. The definition for the category states that digital art refers to works that use “digital technology as part of the creative process”.Allen’s award-winning image has led to debates about what, exactly, it means to be an artist and whether AI can truly make art. “It felt bad for the exact same reason we don’t let robots participate in the Olympics, “ one Twitter user wrote. ”This is the literal definition of ‘pressed a few buttons to make a digital art piece’, “ another tweeted.Yet while Allen didn’t use a paintbrush, there was plenty of work involved, he said. First, he played around with phrasing that led Midjourney to generate images of women in elegant dresses and space helmets, in an attempt to mix Victorian-style costuming with space themes. Over time, with many slight changes to his written prompt (提示符), he created 900 different versions of what led to his final image. Then he improved its resolution through Gigapixel AI and finally had the images printed.Allen is glad the debate over whether AI can be used to make art is attracting so much attention. “Rather than hating on the technology, we need to recognize that it’s a powerful tool and use it for good so we can all move forward, ” Allen said.Cal Duran, one of the judges for the competition, said that while Allen’s piece included a mention of AI, he didn’t realize that when judging it. Still, he sticks by his decision to award it first place. “I think the AI technology may give more opportunities to people who may not find themselves artists in the conventional way, ” he said.32.Why has Jason’s work led to debates?A.It was a copy of a photograph.B.He challenged the older artists.C.It was created with the help of AI.D.He broke the rule of the competition.33.What can best describe Allen’s creating process?A.Cooperative.B.Energy-consuming.C.Straightforward.D.Imagination-lacking.34.What can we learn about AI from the last paragraph?A.It is a double-edged sword.B.It attracts conventional artists.C.It strikes art judges as no surprise.D.It may open a new world to artists.35.What is the text mainly about?A.A trend to be AI artists.B.An AI-generated art contest.C.Responses to a winning AI artwork.D.Curiosity about an image generator.第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。It’s true that participating in student organizations and campus events can be a great way to get to know your school, make friends, build a professional network and have some fun along the way. ____36____ Read on to find ways to get involved in campus life.Joining or starting a club may be the easiest way. Most universities have numerous student-run campus clubs. These typically include interest-based groups (from cooking to comics) and activity-based groups (like hiking and dancing). ____37____ And some universities do have clubs on such themes, where you can connect with other students and maybe even change a few minds by sharing your beliefs.

Options may range from tutoring(指導(dǎo)) local children to helping build homes or cleaning up neighborhood streets.If you excel in one particular area, such as writing, then you can become a tutor or teaching assistant. Consider offering your services to your college’s tutoring centers. Or you can work for a volunteer tutoring organization that will match you with students who need help. You can also offer your time and services to professors as a leaching assistant. This enables you to build connections with them. ____40____A.Participate in student government if you can.B.Many universities host voluntary events frequently.C.But more often than not you have no idea how to do it.D.You have been told the secret to getting involved many times.E.You can also stay on top of developments in your field of study.F.Of course, you may be enthusiastic about a political or social cause.G.More and more universities are putting them directly into the courses.評(píng)卷人得分第三部分語(yǔ)言運(yùn)用(共兩節(jié),滿分30分)第一節(jié) (共15小題;每小題1分,滿分15分)閱讀下面短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。Last week, I taught a case study on the decline of Nokia to my MBA students. I asked them, “Why did Nokia fall from industry ____41____ to also-ran position in the space of less than five years?” Their answers were ____42____:“They lost touch with their customers.” True, but almost tautological-and interesting to note that this is the same Nokia that in the early 2000s was praised for its ____43____-centric marketing and design capabilities.“They ____44____ to develop the necessary technologies.” Not really true-Nokia had a prototype touch screen before the iPhone was launched, and its smartphones were ____45____ superior to anything Apple, Samsung, or Google had to offer during the late 1990s.“They didn’t recognize that the basis of competition was shifting from the hardware to the ecosystem.” ____46____, not really true-the “ecosystem” battle began in the early 2000s, with Nokia joining forces with Ericsson, Motorola, and Psion to create Symbian as a ____47____ technology that would keep Microsoft at bay.Through this period, the people at Nokia were ____48____ the changes going on around them, and they were never short of leading-edge technology or clever marketers. Where they struggled was in transmitting ____49____into action. The company lacked the capability to change in a decisive and committed way.The failure of big companies to _____50_____ to changing circumstances is one of the principal puzzles in the world of business. Occasionally, a genuinely “disruptive” technology, such as digital imaging, comes along and _____51_____ an entire industry. But usually the sources of failure are more dull and avoidable—a failure to _____52_____ technologies that have already been developed, an arrogant disregard(傲慢的漠視) for changing customer demands, a self-satisfied attitude towards new competitors.In such cases, the final responsibility for _____53_____ rests with the CEO. But if such failures are to be avoided, it is clear that the CEO cannot do it on his or her own. People across the firm must keep their eyes open to _____54_____ in their business, and to take responsibility to push their new ideas and _____55_____ existing ways of working. Obviously, this isn't easy to do, but if there is a better understanding of the problem then there is a chance for improvement.41.A.leadershipB.companionshipC.craftsmanshipD.citizenship42.A.acceptableB.imaginableC.changeableD.predictable43.A.customerB.productC.technologyD.capital44.A.transformedB.failedC.attemptedD.resolved45.A.greatlyB.reallyC.competitivelyD.technologically46.A.ThusB.AgainC.UnfortunatelyD.Basically47.A.platformB.basisC.softwareD.service48.A.absorbed inB.shocked atC.aware ofD.accustomed to49.A.thoughtsB.wordsC.spiritD.confidence50.A.lookB.applyC.contributeD.adapt51.A.fosterB.benefitC.bankruptD.reshape52.A.implementB.cultivateC.undertakeD.advocate53.A.managementB.achievementC.failureD.enterprise54.A.horizonsB.pensionsC.executivesD.changes55.A.maintainB.challengeC.doubtD.examine第二節(jié)(共10小題;每小題1.5分,滿分15分)閱讀下面短文,在空白處填入1個(gè)適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~或括號(hào)內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。The advance of technology in our lives has been kind of stopped in New York City.

With many parts of the world going through a seemingly relentless (持續(xù)強(qiáng)烈的) drive to replace cash ____57____ plastic or digital payments, New York City officials have decided cash still has a ____58____ (value) part to play in our lives.

My parents grew up poor and over the years, as a family we were comfortable but didn’t have a lot of things which would be considered luxuries: jewelry, family vacations, china, fancy cars, etc. My father went on a trip to Italy with my aunts one year and brought my mother a ring. It was her favorite stone. She valued that ring because it was one of the nicest things she ever had and represented my dad’s love for her. Sometimes they quarreled but had a deep love for each other. He died in 1980, aged 53 after a difficult battle with cancer.She had lost some weight and wore the ring to work on a different finger. During her shift the ring slipped off and she realized it the following day. She was sick about it after having tried to find it with no luck. At the point when I talked to her she was trying to face the fact that she would never see it again. Her voice sounded hollow and weak which I assumed was due to the nature of the conversation. She choked back some tears.I decided to look for the ring at my mom’s work. She was working at the Burlington Coat Factory Department store at the time in the Youth Dept. The Youth Dept was huge and packed with clothes, toys and tables. It was always a mess even when someone was working in it. I started row by row crawling (爬行) on the floor to see if I could find the ring under al the clothes. As I worked my way through the Youth Dept, I tried not to panic. I was amazed that no one asked me what I was doing. At that time I encountered one of my mom’s co-workers who didn’t understand English very well and tried to explain what I was doing. She didn’t seem to understand but she didn’t try to stop me either.注意:1.續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150詞左右;2請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。When I got to the last row, I still didn’t find the ring.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________That ring meant so much to my mom, so I never gave up.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
