The library of Pharaoh Ramesses I is said to have borne the inscription (碑文) “the house of healing for the soul”. Dylan Thomas, an English writer, reportedly liked to relax by reading Agatha Christie’s detective novels. As for the novelist Yiyun Li, it was War and Peace that helped her get through the toughest times; when she launched a virtual reading group of Leo Tolstoy’s masterpiece in lockdown, 3,000 people signed up.
In recent years, a growing body of research has backed up the idea that books not only entertain, but also help us recover and grow. They offer companionship to the lonely, insight to the anxious, and release to those who feel trapped.
This feature has motivated Ann Cleeves to turn her attention to the old long-lasting bibliotherapy, she then co-sponsored such a program in northeast England, working with public health teams. Bibliotherapy is an approach employing books and other forms of literature to improve a patient’s mental health. A review of several studies found such programs have a long-term effect on people’s well-being.
But Cleeves has a broader idea in mind. Writing for The Guardian, she described how reading and writing fiction helped her understand her own response and allowed her to escape into a different world. The reading coaches will match their patients with appropriate poetry and novels as well as non-fiction based on patients’ condition, and will introduce them to librarians and other readers. After all, what is uplifting to one reader will seem twee (太花哨的) to another and what one finds unpleasant may be reassuring to the next.
For Cleeves, it is happy to see people seek self-discovery in the world of books. Some may respond to children’s classic The Secret Garden; others will recognize themselves in Toni Morrison’s novels. An ancient idea has found fresh resonance (共鸣).
4. What did Dylan Thomas and Yiyun Li have in common
A. They turned to books for spiritual comfort.
B. They sought inspiration in foreign countries.
C. They had a great influence on the world literature.
D. They once launched a reading group during tough times.
5. What inspired Ann Cleeves to co-sponsor the program
A. The support from public teams.
B. The healing power of books.
C. The popularity of the program among people.
D. The lack of such a program in northeast England.
6 What can be inferred about bibliotherapy
A. It can greatly improve public health.
B It can bring a boom in book markets.
C. It can bring in diverse forms of literature.
D. It can be used as a cure for depression.
7. How does a reading coach play his or her role
A. By assisting readers in writing their own fiction.
B. By helping librarians sort out all kinds of books
C. By suiting specific books to patients.
D. By recording readers’ response to different books.
C
IT’S A TYPICAL morning: you wake up, take a shower, brush your teeth, and then prick (刺; 扎) your arm with a tiny needle. Wait, what Unless you have a serious disease such as diabetes, you probably haven’t ever tested your own blood. But in the future, that might change.
The company Cor already sells a system for home blood testing. You stick your arm using a supposedly painless, one-off , blood-drawing cartridge (针筒) about the size of a lipstick. Then you stick the cartridge into a device that looks like the base for an electric toothbrush. A few minutes later, an app on your phone buzzes with updated information, including your current health data and tips on what to eat and how to exercise during the day.
It’s true that blood contains a wealth of information about a person’s health. Blood tests can show if a person is infected with a disease or at risk for a variety of problems, including a heart attack or a stroke. But most people don’t test their own blood until a doctor says it’s time. Healthy young adults get regular blood tests about every five years. These tests happen at a lab, where a technician or a nurse sticks a long needle into the arm to draw out several tubes full of blood. Cor and similar companies, such as WellnessFX, are trying to change all that. They think people deserve access to more information about their own health.
But not everyone is convinced that regular blood testing for healthy people is a great idea. Cor’s system is expensive and may pot offer much benefit. “The lightest result here is that you lose your money and then you’re reminded to get more sleep and to eat more fruits, vegetables, and fish,” Pieter Cohen of Harvard Medical School told the New York Times. “The worst result is that you end up getting frightened by probably abnormal results that are actually completely normal for you.”
Plus, the results of a home blood test might be wrong. It’s hard to get accurate results from a tiny amount of blood. So what do you think Is monitoring your own health via pinpricks the way of the future Or is it better to leave blood testing to medical professionals
8. Why does the author mention the typical morning in the first paragraph
A. To explain a scene. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To make a comparison. D. To provide an example.
9. What can we learn about the company Cor’s blood-testing system
A. It is painless and cheap to use.
B. It has won popularity among people.
C. It offers accurate health information about our body.
D. It may give advice on our diet according to the health data.
10. What’s Pieter Cohen’s attitude towards this kind of system
A. Objective. B. Subjective. C. Supportive. D. Negative.
11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Home blood tests: yes or no B. Should blood tests be allowed at home
C. A new system of improving your health. D. Home blood testing: your health monitor!
D
Will artificial intelligence (AI) replace my job This is a question that many people think about these days. At present, the application of AI robotics in professional fields, as well as ChatGPT’s abilities to write essays, solve complex problems and more, have heightened moral concerns.
Some people see AI as the ultimate cure for society’s most fundamental problems, while others fear that AI will overtake human intelligence. These two views are based on the assumption that AI is better and smarter than humanity and may ultimately replace human decision-making. But given the fact that technology is the product of human civilization, the challenge from AI is something we have created for ourselves as we keep pushing our own boundaries. In other words, AI’s progress, functions and future direction are all determined by the human brain.
Before AI becomes a threat to humanity, the international community should reach an agreement on the role it is to play. More importantly, related laws and regulations must ensure that AI will benefit society and prevent it from threatening human life. Robots, for example, are believed to develop emotional intelligence sometime, which enables them to recognize, understand and express emotions in a way that is similar to humans, but we must avoid AI copying human emotions. Without legal restrictions, AI may become a social disaster.
The AI-driven new industrial revolution is irreversible. This, like previous ones, which introduced changes that had been unimaginable before, will certainly affect human employment. But it always turned out humanity was able to adapt to each industrial revolution and create new forms of employment. Therefore, it’s unnecessary to worry AI will replace our jobs. While technology advances at a rapid pace, what we need to do is to welcome the AI era rather than block its unfolding for fear of the unknown.
12. Why are some people concerned about AI
A. It may outsmart humans. B. It has led to social problems.
C. It has been applied widely. D. It is the product of humanity.
13. How can we prevent AI’s potential threat
A. By stirring emotions. B. By blocking functions.
C. By setting restrictions. D. By changing regulations.
14. What does the underlined word “irreversible” in the last paragraph mean
A Undesirable. B. Unavoidable.
C. Unpredictable. D. Unbelievable.
15. What does the writer suggest readers do with the coming of the AI era
A. Accept it passively. B. Deal with it positively.
C. Respond to it randomly. D. Defend it unconditionally.

Writing for The Guardian, she described how reading and writing fiction helped her understand her own response and allowed her to escape into a different world. The reading coaches will match their patients with appropriate poetry and novels as well as non-fiction based on patients’ condition, and will introduce them to librarians and other readers. After all, what is uplifting to one reader will seem twee (太花哨的) to another and what one finds unpleasant may be reassuring to the next.
For Cleeves, it is happy to see people seek self-discovery in the world of books. Some may respond to children’s classic The Secret Garden; others will recognize themselves in Toni Morrison’s novels. An ancient idea has found fresh resonance (共鸣).

IT’S A TYPICAL morning: you wake up, take a shower, brush your teeth, and then prick (刺; 扎) your arm with a tiny needle. Wait, what Unless you have a serious disease such as diabetes, you probably haven’t ever tested your own blood. But in the future, that might change.
The company Cor already sells a system for home blood testing. You stick your arm using a supposedly painless, one-off , blood-drawing cartridge (针筒) about the size of a lipstick. Then you stick the cartridge into a device that looks like the base for an electric toothbrush. A few minutes later, an app on your phone buzzes with updated information, including your current health data and tips on what to eat and how to exercise during the day.
It’s true that blood contains a wealth of information about a person’s health. Blood tests can show if a person is infected with a disease or at risk for a variety of problems, including a heart attack or a stroke. But most people don’t test their own blood until a doctor says it’s time. Healthy young adults get regular blood tests about every five years. These tests happen at a lab, where a technician or a nurse sticks a long needle into the arm to draw out several tubes full of blood. Cor and similar companies, such as WellnessFX, are trying to change all that. They think people deserve access to more information about their own health.
But not everyone is convinced that regular blood testing for healthy people is a great idea. Cor’s system is expensive and may pot offer much benefit. “The lightest result here is that you lose your money and then you’re reminded to get more sleep and to eat more fruits, vegetables, and fish,” Pieter Cohen of Harvard Medical School told the New York Times. “The worst result is that you end up getting frightened by probably abnormal results that are actually completely normal for you.”
Plus, the results of a home blood test might be wrong. It’s hard to get accurate results from a tiny amount of blood. So what do you think Is monitoring your own health via pinpricks the way of the future Or is it better to leave blood testing to medical professionals
8. Why does the author mention the typical morning in the first paragraph
A. To explain a scene. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To make a comparison. D. To provide an example.
9. What can we learn about the company Cor’s blood-testing system
A. It is painless and cheap to use.
B. It has won popularity among people.
C. It offers accurate health information about our body.
D. It may give advice on our diet according to the health data.
10. What’s Pieter Cohen’s attitude towards this kind of system
A. Objective. B. Subjective. C. Supportive. D. Negative.
11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Home blood tests: yes or no B. Should blood tests be allowed at home
C. A new system of improving your health. D. Home blood testing: your health monitor!
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了未来人们可能通过自己进行小刺伤来监测自己的血液健康情况的可能性，一些公司已经推出了相应的家用血液检测设备，但是这样的操作是否真的有必要及其可靠性受到了一些质疑。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“IT’S A TYPICAL morning: you wake up, take a shower, brush your teeth, and then prick (刺；扎) your arm with a tiny needle. Wait, what Unless you have a serious disease such as diabetes, you probably haven’t ever tested your own blood. But in the future, that might change. (这是一个典型的早晨：你醒来，洗个澡，刷牙，然后用一根小针刺伤你的手臂。等等，什么？除非你患有糖尿病等严重疾病，否则你可能从未检测过自己的血液。但在未来，这种情况可能会改变)”以及第二段“The company Cor already sells a system for home blood testing. (Cor公司已经在销售一种家庭血液检测系统)”可推知，作者在第一段提到了典型的早晨是为了引入文章探讨的主题，即Cor公司已经在销售的一种家庭血液检测系统。故选B。
【9题详解】

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““The lightest result here is that you lose your money and then you’re reminded to get more sleep and to eat more fruits, vegetables, and fish,” Pieter Cohen of Harvard Medical School told the New York Times. “The worst result is that you end up getting frightened by probably abnormal results that are actually completely normal for you.””(哈佛医学院的Pieter Cohen告诉《纽约时报》：“最轻的结果是，你会赔钱，然后被提醒多睡一会儿，多吃水果、蔬菜和鱼。”。“最糟糕的结果是，你最终会被可能不正常的结果吓坏，而这些结果对你来说实际上是完全正常的。”)”可推知，Pieter Cohen对这种系统持消极态度，因为他对检测的结果持有怀疑。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The company Cor already sells a system for home blood testing. (Cor公司已经在销售一种家庭血液检测系统)”以及最后一段“Plus, the results of a home blood test might be wrong. It’s hard to get accurate results from a tiny amount of blood. So what do you think Is monitoring your own health via pinpricks the way of the future Or is it better to leave blood testing to medical professionals (此外，家庭血液测试的结果可能是错误的。从少量的血液中很难得到准确的结果。你怎么看？通过针刺来监测自己的健康是未来的方式吗？还是把验血留给专业医生更好？)”结合文章说明了Cor公司已经在销售一种家庭血液检测系统，介绍了其工作方式以及家庭血液检测系统的利弊。由此可知，A选项“Home blood tests: yes or no (家庭验血：肯定还是否定？)”最符合文章标题。故选A。
D
Will artificial intelligence (AI) replace my job This is a question that many people think about these days. At present, the application of AI robotics in professional fields, as well as ChatGPT’s abilities to write essays, solve complex problems and more, have heightened moral concerns.
Some people see AI as the ultimate cure for society’s most fundamental problems, while others fear that AI will overtake human intelligence. These two views are based on the assumption that AI is better and smarter than humanity and may ultimately replace human decision-making. But given the fact that technology is the product of human civilization, the challenge from AI is something we have created for ourselves as we keep pushing our own boundaries. In other words, AI’s progress, functions and future direction are all determined by the human brain.
Before AI becomes a threat to humanity, the international community should reach an agreement on the role it is to play. More importantly, related laws and regulations must ensure that AI will benefit society and prevent it from threatening human life. Robots, for example, are believed to develop emotional intelligence sometime, which enables them to recognize, understand and express emotions in a way that is similar to humans, but we must avoid AI copying human emotions. Without legal restrictions, AI may become a social disaster.
The AI-driven new industrial revolution is irreversible. This, like previous ones, which introduced changes that had been unimaginable before, will certainly affect human employment. But it always turned out humanity was able to adapt to each industrial revolution and create new forms of employment. Therefore, it’s unnecessary to worry AI will replace our jobs. While technology advances at a rapid pace, what we need to do is to welcome the AI era rather than block its unfolding for fear of the unknown.
12 Why are some people concerned about AI
A. It may outsmart humans. B. It has led to social problems.
C. It has been applied widely. D. It is the product of humanity.
13. How can we prevent AI’s potential threat
A. By stirring emotions. B. By blocking functions.
C. By setting restrictions. D. By changing regulations.
14. What does the underlined word “irreversible” in the last paragraph mean
A. Undesirable. B. Unavoidable.
C. Unpredictable. D. Unbelievable.
15. What does the writer suggest readers do with the coming of the AI era
A. Accept it passively. B. Deal with it positively.
C. Respond to it randomly. D. Defend it unconditionally.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. B
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Some people see AI as the ultimate cure for society’s most fundamental problems, while others fear that AI will overtake human intelligence. These two views are based on the assumption that AI is better and smarter than humanity and may ultimately replace human decision-making.(一些人认为人工智能是解决社会最根本问题的终极良方，而另一些人则担心人工智能将超越人类的智慧。这两种观点都是基于人工智能比人类更好、更聪明，最终可能取代人类决策的假设)”可知，一些人担心人工智能将超越人类的智慧，这是基于他们认为人工智能比人类更好、更聪明，最终可能取代人类决策的假设。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“More importantly, related laws and regulations must ensure that AI will benefit society and prevent it from threatening human life.(更重要的是，相关法律法规必须确保人工智能造福社会，防止其威胁人类生命)”可知，我们可以通过相关法律法规确保人工智能造福社会，防止其威胁人类生命。故选C。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“This, like previous ones, which introduced changes that had been unimaginable before, will certainly affect human employment.(这就像以前一样，带来了以前无法想象的变化，肯定会影响到人类的就业)”可知，人工智能驱动的新工业革命就像以前一样会带来无法想象的变化，一定会影响到人类的就业，因此人工智能驱动的新工业革命是不可避免的。故划线词与B选项“Unavoidable(不可避免的)”为同义词。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, it’s unnecessary to worry AI will replace our jobs. While technology advances at a rapid pace, what we need to do is to welcome the AI era rather than block its unfolding for fear of the unknown.(因此，不必担心人工智能会取代我们的工作。虽然技术正在快速发展，但我们需要做的是欢迎人工智能时代的到来，而不是因为害怕未知而阻止它的发展)”可知，作者建议对于未来的人工智能时代的到来，不要因为害怕而去阻止它，而是应该欢迎人工智能时代的到来，即积极地对待它。故选B。

考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：登高、喝菊花酒、戴茱萸是寒露期间常见的习俗，因为它通常与农历九月初九的重阳节相吻合。分析句子结构可知，本句是which引导的定语从句，fall作从句谓语，描述的是客观事实，用一般现在时，主语which代指先行词the Double Ninth Festival，为第三人称单数。故填falls。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：居住在汝河附近的人们经常成为生活在河中的瘟疫怪物的目标。monster为可数名词，句中用的单数，前应用不定冠词修饰，plague为辅音音素开头，用a修饰。故填a。
【39题详解】

【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：他周游全国，在一只鹤的指引下到达了一座山，那里住着一位神仙。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是mountain，在从句中作主语，用which引导。故填which。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：桓掌握了技巧后，神仙给了他一把神剑，一包茱萸叶和一瓶菊花酒。leaf意为“叶子”为可数名词，根据a pack of可知，用复数形式。故填leaves。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：回到他的村庄，桓带领人们在第九天的早晨到达附近的山顶。分析句子结构可知，lead作本句谓语，描述的是已发生的事，用一般过去时。故填led。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：回到他的村庄，桓带领人们在第九天的早晨到达附近的山顶。在具体某一天的早晨，需用介词on。故填on。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他给了他们每个人一片山茱萸叶，以防止怪物靠近，并要求他们喝一些菊花酒，以避免被瘟疫感染。此处是固定搭配：avoid doing sth.意为“避免做某事”，又根据空后的by可知，此处需用被动语态，需用动名词的被动语态作宾语。故填being infected。
【45题详解】
