Imagine Dad and I are watching the Olympic Games in our media room someday in the future. The screen drops down to cover one wall. We give our robot Sylvia our orders for popcorn and juice for dinner. She is only a machine but she looks like a human and helps with the housework.
We are having popcorn for dinner tonight because something is wrong with our oven (烤箱). It is broken and keeps on repeating that it doesn't remember how to cook. Dad thinks the shooting star passing by Earth has caused the problem.
“I did see a shooting star yesterday，” I said. “Maybe that's why I had trouble getting Sylvia started this morning. She turned around and around, hardly stood when she tried to take a step, and almost fell backwards. She finally started moving towards me, but then suddenly turned, and went backwards. I thought she was going to knock into a wall. It was lucky that she got her balance in the end and successfully stood up.”
At last, Sylvia arrives with our popcorn and drinks. I look at the screen and watch the Olympic Games. Sylvia watches it too. Dad gives her coins as a tip. Sylvia thanks him for the coins and starts to leave the room. Then she turns back to where we are sitting. I hear some clicking sounds. The sounds mean that she is searching her memory chips for information. “During the Olympics I should get medals, not coins，” she says.
Dad and I just look at each other. Sylvia doesn't seem to know that robots aren't supposed to think. Then we burst out laughing and award Sylvia a gold medal.
24．From Paragraph 3 we can learn ________．
A．Sylvia knocked into the wall
B．Sylvia was possibly out of order
C．Sylvia was hit by a shooting star
D．Sylvia wouldn't like to work for us
25．Why does Sylvia ask for a medal as a tip

B．Because she works hard for dinner.
C．Because she wants to watch the game.
D．Because she has learned to think by memory chips.
26．How do Dad and I find Sylvia's performance
A．Worrying. B．Annoying.
C．Amazing. D．Frightening.
27．What is the most suitable title for the text
A．An extraordinary tip for a robot
B．Our unexpected life in the future

D．The function of robots like humans
C
The imitation (模仿) game, as proposed by mathematician Alan Turing in his 1950 paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence”， tasks a person and a computer, with answering questions from a third person or judge. The questioner must then tell which is human. This has come to be known as the Turing Test.
Turing proposed that if a machine could successfully imitate a person, then it had “artificial intelligence”. So what is artificial intelligence, and could you tell the difference between a person and AI
AI refers to the creation of intelligent machines that can think and act like human beings. These systems are designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as understanding natural language, recognizing images and making decisions.
AI has come a long way in recent years and is now being used in a variety of industries, such as healthcare, finance and transportation. With advances in machine learning and natural language processing, AI is becoming increasingly advanced and is able to perform more difficult tasks with greater accuracy.
As a person, I believe that there is great possibility that AI can greatly improve our lives. However, as with any new technology, there are also concerns about the impact of AI on our society.
So what do you think of AI I asked ChatGPT to “tell me as humanly as possible what AI is”， and the previous three paragraphs are its answer. You are the judge, and I am the human respondent. Did you think my intro was AI What I know is that I am scared of AI.
Programs like ChatGPT use machine learning to create text in response to user input. This means the program learns from existing content to produce new content which can make it hard to tell original work from plagiarized (抄襲的) work.
Concerns of plagiarism and misinformation are increasing as programs like ChatGPT and other AI technologies use existing writing, art and knowledge to produce human like work. This opens the door to numerous debates on the ethics (道德倫理) of AI and the information these programs are learning from. Are these sources accurate Is the machine learning algorithm (算法) committing theft
It is our job—that is, as humans—to keep AI in check and ensure its ethical development and usage. AI might not be ready to put an end to humanity, but it is still reasonable to be careful about its progress.
28．What is the purpose of the Turing Test according to the text
A．To test the intelligence of humans.
B．To judge the performance of AI systems.
C．To explore the possible applications of AI.
D．To determine the threat caused by AI to humans.
29．What are Paragraphs 3－5 mainly about
A．AI's applications.
B．AI's limitations.
C．AI's self description.
D．AI's development.
30．Why is it not clear whether AI's works are original or plagiarized according to the text
A．They are based on existing human works.
B．They are not as good as what humans create.
C．They are mostly writing and artwork.
D．The systems may give false information.
31．What is the author's attitude toward AI's development in the future
A．Negative. B．Positive.
C．Puzzled. D．Cautious.
D
To provide visitors with a special experience, theme parks are putting more money into Virtual Reality (VR) technology. In fact, the lifestyle team of the website, The Week, attended the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Expo in Orlando. The purpose was to do a study on the implementation (實施) of VR technology on roller coasters. The team studied 23 roller coaster manufacturers (制造商) in Europe and found that eight of those manufacturers had implemented VR technology into at least one of their roller coasters. Based on their study, it appears that VR technology is already an important and growing factor in the future development of theme parks.
The theme park industry at first saw VR technology as a cost－saving means to put new life into attractions.In 2015, companies such as Six Flags began adding VR technology to their roller coasters. It soon became clear, however, that there were many difficulties with implementing VR technology on the rides. Because of the time it took to provide riders with VR headsets (頭戴式受話器), wait times and lines began to increase. Moreover, companies had to train employees how to set up the VR systems and make sure that all headsets were clean. This proved not to be cost－saving, so new systems had to be put into place.
Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia, set out to solve these problems by developing a two－part headset for the ride Battle for Eire. The park worked with Falcon's Creative Group to develop this new technology, which allowed guests to be fitted with a headpiece while the guests were waiting in line. This shortened wait times and provided a cleaner environment. Falcon's Creative Group and Busch Gardens used creative thinking to improve an attraction that was built around VR.
According to TEA/AECOM Global Attractions Attendance Report, there were more than 252 million people visit the top 25 theme parks in the world. To keep these numbers, it is important that these and other theme－park companies continue to come up with new ideas to create and introduce great attractions—especially those that make use of VR technology.
32．What did The Week find
A．VR technology may greatly influence the future theme parks.
B．Half of the studied theme parks have used VR technology.
C．Roller coasters were getting less popular than before.
D．Theme parks have not realized the importance of VR technology.
33．What happened after Six Flags used VR technology
A．Visitors thought highly of the improvement.
B．The number of visitors hugely increased.
C．Many unexpected problems appeared.
D．A lot of money was saved.
34．What did Busch Gardens do
A．It creatively developed a headset.
B．It employed more workers.
C．It worked with other companies to build new theme parks.
D．It chose to use its traditional technology again.
35．What did the author advise theme parks to do
A．To develop creative attractions.
B．To give up traditional technology.
C．To work with other theme parks.
D．To build new theme parks.

閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
“A nursing home would be safer, Dad，” Arlyn told her father, Jim.
“No way，” Jim interrupted. His wife passed away just a year before. At 91, he still wanted to remain in the cottage that he and his wife had built.
Jim started experiencing an early sign of Alzheimer's disease. Arlyn found his decline was indeed all－consuming. However, she herself was in her late sixties; her house was a 40－minute drive from the cottage. One day, when she read about a new eldercare service called Care Coach, it fueled her interest. For about $200 a month, a computerized avatar (頭像) (controlled remotely by a human caregiver) would watch over a home－bound person 24 hours a day. She signed up immediately.
A week later, a tablet arrived. Following the instructions, Arlyn uploaded dozens of family pictures. Then an animated dog appeared on the screen. She presented the tablet to Jim, pointing to the screen pet, and said excitedly, “Here Dad. You have a new companion.” Jim, doubtful about the dog's service, knew he had to learn how to get along with the dog before Alzheimer's took hold.
Within a week, Jim and his dog, whom he named Pony, settled into a routine. Every 15 minutes or so, Pony would look for Jim calling his name if he was out of view. Sometimes Jim would “pet” to awake the sleeping Pony on screen. Pony reminded Jim which caretaker would be visiting to do the tasks: preparing meals, driving him to a senior center, etc. Pony would read poetry aloud or discuss the news. When Pony praised Jim's sweater, Jim repaid by petting Pony's screen with his finger sending hearts floating up from the dog's head. One evening when Arlyn came to visit her father as usual, she was amazed to find that Pony was holding up a photo of her late mum to her dad between its paws.
注意：
1．續寫詞數應為150個左右；
2．請按如下格式在相應位置作答。
　　Jim stared at the photo fondly, with tears welling up in his eyes.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Seeing the close bond between Pony and her dad, Arlyn felt a relief.

Books have always been an important part of people's lives. Libraries were important parts of both universities and town centers, and many of the first successful companies in modern times made their money by selling books. Like newspapers, publishers used to have a lot of power and influence, but nowadays, the companies that control digital information seem to have taken over. In particular, e－books have replaced traditional books for most modern readers, especially in big cities, for whom everything has to be easy to carry and convenient to use. Tech companies like Amazon and Apple sell “e－readers” that can contain thousands of books, and their online stores list millions of titles, far more than any bookstore could ever hold. As more and more people buy computers, smart phones, and tablets, the market for e－books continues to grow. Many traditional book publishers and bookstores have gone out of business. For example, Border's Group used to be one of the largest bookstores in the United States, with more than 600 locations and billions of dollars in sales every year. But after e－books appeared, they started losing money and had to close all their stores.
18．What organizations used to have a lot of power according to the speaker
A．Libraries and printing companies.
B．Universities and bookstores.
C．Newspapers and publishers.
答案：C
19．Why do many city people like e－books
A．They are easier to carry.
B．They are cheaper.
C．They are more interesting.
答案：A
20．What can we learn about Border's Group
A．They were bought by a tech company.
B．They made billions of dollars this year.
C．They used to have more than 600 stores.
答案：C

Imagine Dad and I are watching the Olympic Games in our media room someday in the future. The screen drops down to cover one wall. We give our robot Sylvia our orders for popcorn and juice for dinner. She is only a machine but she looks like a human and helps with the housework.
We are having popcorn for dinner tonight because something is wrong with our oven (烤箱). It is broken and keeps on repeating that it doesn't remember how to cook. Dad thinks the shooting star passing by Earth has caused the problem.
“I did see a shooting star yesterday，” I said. “Maybe that's why I had trouble getting Sylvia started this morning. She turned around and around, hardly stood when she tried to take a step, and almost fell backwards. She finally started moving towards me, but then suddenly turned, and went backwards. I thought she was going to knock into a wall. It was lucky that she got her balance in the end and successfully stood up.”
At last, Sylvia arrives with our popcorn and drinks. I look at the screen and watch the Olympic Games. Sylvia watches it too. Dad gives her coins as a tip. Sylvia thanks him for the coins and starts to leave the room. Then she turns back to where we are sitting. I hear some clicking sounds. The sounds mean that she is searching her memory chips for information. “During the Olympics I should get medals, not coins，” she says.
Dad and I just look at each other. Sylvia doesn't seem to know that robots aren't supposed to think. Then we burst out laughing and award Sylvia a gold medal.

The imitation (模仿) game, as proposed by mathematician Alan Turing in his 1950 paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence”， tasks a person and a computer, with answering questions from a third person or judge. The questioner must then tell which is human. This has come to be known as the Turing Test.
Turing proposed that if a machine could successfully imitate a person, then it had “artificial intelligence”. So what is artificial intelligence, and could you tell the difference between a person and AI
AI refers to the creation of intelligent machines that can think and act like human beings. These systems are designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as understanding natural language, recognizing images and making decisions.
AI has come a long way in recent years and is now being used in a variety of industries, such as healthcare, finance and transportation. With advances in machine learning and natural language processing, AI is becoming increasingly advanced and is able to perform more difficult tasks with greater accuracy.
As a person, I believe that there is great possibility that AI can greatly improve our lives. However, as with any new technology, there are also concerns about the impact of AI on our society.
So what do you think of AI I asked ChatGPT to “tell me as humanly as possible what AI is”， and the previous three paragraphs are its answer. You are the judge, and I am the human respondent. Did you think my intro was AI What I know is that I am scared of AI.
Programs like ChatGPT use machine learning to create text in response to user input. This means the program learns from existing content to produce new content which can make it hard to tell original work from plagiarized (抄襲的) work.
Concerns of plagiarism and misinformation are increasing as programs like ChatGPT and other AI technologies use existing writing, art and knowledge to produce human like work. This opens the door to numerous debates on the ethics (道德倫理) of AI and the information these programs are learning from. Are these sources accurate Is the machine learning algorithm (算法) committing theft
It is our job—that is, as humans—to keep AI in check and ensure its ethical development and usage. AI might not be ready to put an end to humanity, but it is still reasonable to be careful about its progress.
篇章導讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了人工智能的發展和應用情況。
28．What is the purpose of the Turing Test according to the text
A．To test the intelligence of humans.
B．To judge the performance of AI systems.
C．To explore the possible applications of AI.

To provide visitors with a special experience, theme parks are putting more money into Virtual Reality (VR) technology. In fact, the lifestyle team of the website, The Week, attended the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Expo in Orlando. The purpose was to do a study on the implementation (實施) of VR technology on roller coasters. The team studied 23 roller coaster manufacturers (制造商) in Europe and found that eight of those manufacturers had implemented VR technology into at least one of their roller coasters. Based on their study, it appears that VR technology is already an important and growing factor in the future development of theme parks.
The theme park industry at first saw VR technology as a cost－saving means to put new life into attractions.In 2015, companies such as Six Flags began adding VR technology to their roller coasters. It soon became clear, however, that there were many difficulties with implementing VR technology on the rides. Because of the time it took to provide riders with VR headsets (頭戴式受話器), wait times and lines began to increase. Moreover, companies had to train employees how to set up the VR systems and make sure that all headsets were clean. This proved not to be cost－saving, so new systems had to be put into place.
Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia, set out to solve these problems by developing a two－part headset for the ride Battle for Eire. The park worked with Falcon's Creative Group to develop this new technology, which allowed guests to be fitted with a headpiece while the guests were waiting in line. This shortened wait times and provided a cleaner environment. Falcon's Creative Group and Busch Gardens used creative thinking to improve an attraction that was built around VR.
According to TEA/AECOM Global Attractions Attendance Report, there were more than 252 million people visit the top 25 theme parks in the world. To keep these numbers, it is important that these and other theme－park companies continue to come up with new ideas to create and introduce great attractions—especially those that make use of VR technology.

Unlike Old English, Middle English can __59__ (read), although with difficulty, by modern English－speaking people. Many factors contributed to the __60__ (develop) of Middle English. However, in 1066, the Normans who came from France took control __61__ England, which did not have the same result that the Germanic invasion had about 600 year earlier. But French still had __62__ influence on English. This led to even more pairs of similar words.
From the 16th century, the British began to communicate with many peoples from around the world. This meant many new __63__ (word) entered the language. Modern English, quite different from Old English and Middle English, includes many Latin and Greek words.

Nowadays, with the development of technology, artificial intelligence is becoming more and more popular. It is universally acknowledged that AI plays an important role in our daily lives.
On one hand, I believe that AI such as face recognition makes our lives much more convenient and safer. What's of great importance is that AI like some robots can also do things that are too difficult or dangerous for people to do.
On the other hand, with AI taking the place of people in some industries, it will be more difficult for people to get jobs to make a living. Besides, some emergencies may not be coped with perfectly.
Personally, every coin has two sides. Only when we make good use of it, can it bring us great benefits.

閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
“A nursing home would be safer, Dad，” Arlyn told her father, Jim.
“No way，” Jim interrupted. His wife passed away just a year before. At 91, he still wanted to remain in the cottage that he and his wife had built.
Jim started experiencing an early sign of Alzheimer's disease. Arlyn found his decline was indeed all－consuming. However, she herself was in her late sixties; her house was a 40－minute drive from the cottage. One day, when she read about a new eldercare service called Care Coach, it fueled her interest. For about $200 a month, a computerized avatar (頭像) (controlled remotely by a human caregiver) would watch over a home－bound person 24 hours a day. She signed up immediately.
A week later, a tablet arrived. Following the instructions, Arlyn uploaded dozens of family pictures. Then an animated dog appeared on the screen. She presented the tablet to Jim, pointing to the screen pet, and said excitedly, “Here Dad. You have a new companion.” Jim, doubtful about the dog's service, knew he had to learn how to get along with the dog before Alzheimer's took hold.
Within a week, Jim and his dog, whom he named Pony, settled into a routine. Every 15 minutes or so, Pony would look for Jim calling his name if he was out of view. Sometimes Jim would “pet” to awake the sleeping Pony on screen. Pony reminded Jim which caretaker would be visiting to do the tasks: preparing meals, driving him to a senior center, etc. Pony would read poetry aloud or discuss the news. When Pony praised Jim's sweater, Jim repaid by petting Pony's screen with his finger sending hearts floating up from the dog's head. One evening when Arlyn came to visit her father as usual, she was amazed to find that Pony was holding up a photo of her late mum to her dad between its paws.
注意：
1．續寫詞數應為150個左右；
2．請按如下格式在相應位置作答。
　　Jim stared at the photo fondly, with tears welling up in his eyes.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Seeing the close bond between Pony and her dad, Arlyn felt a relief.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
寫前導讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了Arlyn (艾琳)為91歲的父親Jim (吉姆)注冊了一個新的老年護理服務——由人類遠程控制，可以一天24小時監控一個居家的人。之后她收到一個平板，屏幕上有一只動畫狗，父親給動畫狗取名為 Pony (波尼)。一天晚上，Arlyn驚訝地發現 Pony用爪子向父親舉起了一張她已故母親的照片，父親看到照片后情緒如何？看著父親和Pony的相處，Arlyn有何感受？

Jim stared at the photo fondly, with tears welling up in his eyes. Memories flashed through Jim's mind. It had been more than a year since his wife's death and hardly had he mentioned her anymore. That day, though, he gazed at the photo affectionately and declared emotionally, “I still love her.” Sensing Jim's sadness, Pony sent hearts to Jim on the screen and comforted him. Uplifted by Pony's loving remarks, Jim petted Pony's screen with his finger sending hearts floating up from the dog's head again. Pony responded with its tail wagging cheerfully. Arlyn sat in silence, with an illusion of slipping back to the old happy days.
Seeing the close bond between Pony and her dad, Arlyn felt a relief. She was amazed at Pony's heart warming service and her dad's fondness for Pony. Pony was more than just a virtual companion; rather, he had become a member of the family, a loyal friend who had helped them through the tough times. With time going by, Arlyn noticed the improvement in her father's cognitive ability and mood, and he got more engaged in conversations. Arlyn was grateful to Pony. Knowing that Pony was not a substitute for human interaction, she resolved to cherish every moment with her dad, for the presence of loved ones was crucial.

Books have always been an important part of people's lives. Libraries were important parts of both universities and town centers, and many of the first successful companies in modern times made their money by selling books. Like newspapers, publishers used to have a lot of power and influence, but nowadays, the companies that control digital information seem to have taken over.
In particular, e－books have replaced traditional books for most modern readers, especially in big cities, for whom everything has to be easy to carry and convenient to use. Tech companies like Amazon and Apple sell “e－readers” that can contain thousands of books, and their online stores list millions of titles, far more than any bookstore could ever hold.
As more and more people buy computers, smart phones, and tablets, the market for e－books continues to grow. Many traditional book publishers and bookstores have gone out of business. For example, Border's Group used to be one of the largest bookstores in the United States, with more than 600 locations and billions of dollars in sales every year. But after e－books appeared, they started losing money and had to close all their stores.
18．What organizations used to have a lot of power according to the speaker
A．Libraries and printing companies.
B．Universities and bookstores.
C．Newspapers and publishers.
19．Why do many city people like e－books
A．They are easier to carry.
B．They are cheaper.
C．They are more interesting.
20．What can we learn about Border's Group
A．They were bought by a tech company.
B．They made billions of dollars this year.
C．They used to have more than 600 stores.

Imagine Dad and I are watching the Olympic Games in our media room someday in the future. The screen drops down to cover one wall. We give our robot Sylvia our orders for popcorn and juice for dinner. She is only a machine but she looks like a human and helps with the housework.
We are having popcorn for dinner tonight because something is wrong with our oven (烤箱). It is broken and keeps on repeating that it doesn't remember how to cook. Dad thinks the shooting star passing by Earth has caused the problem.
“I did see a shooting star yesterday，” I said. “Maybe that's why I had trouble getting Sylvia started this morning. She turned around and around, hardly stood when she tried to take a step, and almost fell backwards. She finally started moving towards me, but then suddenly turned, and went backwards. I thought she was going to knock into a wall. It was lucky that she got her balance in the end and successfully stood up.”
At last, Sylvia arrives with our popcorn and drinks. I look at the screen and watch the Olympic Games. Sylvia watches it too. Dad gives her coins as a tip. Sylvia thanks him for the coins and starts to leave the room. Then she turns back to where we are sitting. I hear some clicking sounds. The sounds mean that she is searching her memory chips for information. “During the Olympics I should get medals, not coins，” she says.
Dad and I just look at each other. Sylvia doesn't seem to know that robots aren't supposed to think. Then we burst out laughing and award Sylvia a gold medal.

The imitation (模仿) game, as proposed by mathematician Alan Turing in his 1950 paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence”， tasks a person and a computer, with answering questions from a third person or judge. The questioner must then tell which is human. This has come to be known as the Turing Test.
Turing proposed that if a machine could successfully imitate a person, then it had “artificial intelligence”. So what is artificial intelligence, and could you tell the difference between a person and AI
AI refers to the creation of intelligent machines that can think and act like human beings. These systems are designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as understanding natural language, recognizing images and making decisions.
AI has come a long way in recent years and is now being used in a variety of industries, such as healthcare, finance and transportation. With advances in machine learning and natural language processing, AI is becoming increasingly advanced and is able to perform more difficult tasks with greater accuracy.
As a person, I believe that there is great possibility that AI can greatly improve our lives. However, as with any new technology, there are also concerns about the impact of AI on our society.
So what do you think of AI I asked ChatGPT to “tell me as humanly as possible what AI is”， and the previous three paragraphs are its answer. You are the judge, and I am the human respondent. Did you think my intro was AI What I know is that I am scared of AI.
Programs like ChatGPT use machine learning to create text in response to user input. This means the program learns from existing content to produce new content which can make it hard to tell original work from plagiarized (抄襲的) work.
Concerns of plagiarism and misinformation are increasing as programs like ChatGPT and other AI technologies use existing writing, art and knowledge to produce human like work. This opens the door to numerous debates on the ethics (道德倫理) of AI and the information these programs are learning from. Are these sources accurate Is the machine learning algorithm (算法) committing theft
It is our job—that is, as humans—to keep AI in check and ensure its ethical development and usage. AI might not be ready to put an end to humanity, but it is still reasonable to be careful about its progress.
篇章導讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了人工智能的發展和應用情況。
28．What is the purpose of the Turing Test according to the text
A．To test the intelligence of humans.
B．To judge the performance of AI systems.
C．To explore the possible applications of AI.
D．To determine the threat caused by AI to humans.
解析：細節理解題。根據第一段“The imitation (模仿) game ... as the Turing Test.(模仿游戲是數學家艾倫·圖靈在1950年的論文《計算機器與智能》中提出的，它要求一個人和一臺計算機回答第三人或評判員提出的問題。提問者必須分辨出哪一個是人類。這就是眾所周知的圖靈測試。)”以及第二段“Turing proposed that ... a person and AI？(圖靈提出，如果一臺機器能夠成功地模仿人，那么它就有了‘人工智能’。那么什么是人工智能，你能分辨出人和人工智能之間的區別嗎？)”可知，圖靈測試的目的是評估人工智能系統的性能。故選B。
29．What are Paragraphs 3－5 mainly about
A．AI's applications.
B．AI's limitations.
C．AI's self description.
D．AI's development.
解析：段落大意題。根據第六段中的“So what do you think of ... its answer.(你怎么看待人工智能？我要求ChatGPT ‘盡可能人性化地告訴我人工智能是什么’，前面三段就是它的答案。)”可知，文章第三到五段為ChatGPT的自述。故選C。
30．Why is it not clear whether AI's works are original or plagiarized according to the text
A．They are based on existing human works.
B．They are not as good as what humans create.
C．They are mostly writing and artwork.

解析：細節理解題。根據第七段中的“This means the program ... from plagiarized (抄襲的) work.”可知，人工智能程序從現有內容中學習，從而產生新的內容，這就很難區分原創作品和抄襲作品。故選A。
31．What is the author's attitude toward AI's development in the future
A．Negative. B．Positive.
C．Puzzled. D．Cautious.
解析：推理判斷題。根據最后一段“It is our job ... about its progress.(這是我們的工作——也就是說，作為人類——控制人工智能并確保其道德發展和應用。人工智能可能還沒有準備好終結人類，但對它的進步保持謹慎仍然是合理的。)”可推知，作者對于人工智能的發展持謹慎的態度。故選D。

To provide visitors with a special experience, theme parks are putting more money into Virtual Reality (VR) technology. In fact, the lifestyle team of the website, The Week, attended the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Expo in Orlando. The purpose was to do a study on the implementation (實施) of VR technology on roller coasters. The team studied 23 roller coaster manufacturers (制造商) in Europe and found that eight of those manufacturers had implemented VR technology into at least one of their roller coasters. Based on their study, it appears that VR technology is already an important and growing factor in the future development of theme parks.
The theme park industry at first saw VR technology as a cost－saving means to put new life into attractions.In 2015, companies such as Six Flags began adding VR technology to their roller coasters. It soon became clear, however, that there were many difficulties with implementing VR technology on the rides. Because of the time it took to provide riders with VR headsets (頭戴式受話器), wait times and lines began to increase. Moreover, companies had to train employees how to set up the VR systems and make sure that all headsets were clean. This proved not to be cost－saving, so new systems had to be put into place.
Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia, set out to solve these problems by developing a two－part headset for the ride Battle for Eire. The park worked with Falcon's Creative Group to develop this new technology, which allowed guests to be fitted with a headpiece while the guests were waiting in line. This shortened wait times and provided a cleaner environment. Falcon's Creative Group and Busch Gardens used creative thinking to improve an attraction that was built around VR.
According to TEA/AECOM Global Attractions Attendance Report, there were more than 252 million people visit the top 25 theme parks in the world. To keep these numbers, it is important that these and other theme－park companies continue to come up with new ideas to create and introduce great attractions—especially those that make use of VR technology.
篇章導讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了很多制造商在過山車上采用了VR技術，且VR技術在未來主題公園的發展中起到很大作用。
32．What did The Week find
A．VR technology may greatly influence the future theme parks.
B．Half of the studied theme parks have used VR technology.
C．Roller coasters were getting less popular than before.
D．Theme parks have not realized the importance of VR technology.
解析：推理判斷題。根據第一段中的“it appears that VR technology ... of theme parks(虛擬現實技術似乎已經是主題公園未來發展中一個日益重要的因素)”可推知，The Week發現，VR技術可能會極大地影響未來的主題公園。故選A。
33．What happened after Six Flags used VR technology
A．Visitors thought highly of the improvement.
B．The number of visitors hugely increased.
C．Many unexpected problems appeared.

English is the international working language so it is __56__ (wide) used in the world. English has gone through three periods: Old English, Middle English and Modern English.
In the __57__ (five) century, three Germanic groups—the Anglos, the Saxons and the Jutes invaded Britain and they spoke similar languages, __58__ developed into what we now call Old English.
Unlike Old English, Middle English can __59__ (read), although with difficulty, by modern English－speaking people. Many factors contributed to the __60__ (develop) of Middle English. However, in 1066, the Normans who came from France took control __61__ England, which did not have the same result that the Germanic invasion had about 600 year earlier. But French still had __62__ influence on English. This led to even more pairs of similar words.
From the 16th century, the British began to communicate with many peoples from around the world. This meant many new __63__ (word) entered the language. Modern English, quite different from Old English and Middle English, includes many Latin and Greek words. As we all know, people will keep __64__ (invent) new words and English __65__ (change) over the time.
56.__________　57.________　58.________　59.________　60.________　
61.__________　62.________　63.________　64.________　65.________
篇章導讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了英語經歷的三個歷程：古英語、中古英語和現代英語。
56．答案：widely
57．答案：fifth
58．答案：which
解析：考查詞性轉換。句意：英語是一種國際工作語言，所以它在世界上被廣泛應用。修飾動詞used，應用副詞作狀語。故填widely。
解析：考查數詞。根據設空后的century可知，此處應用序數詞fifth，表示“第五”。in the fifth century意為“在第五世紀”。故填fifth。
解析：考查定語從句的引導詞。設空處引導非限制性定語從句，先行詞是languages，指物，關系詞在從句中作主語，應用關系代詞which引導。故填which。
59．答案：be read
60．答案：development
解析：考查動詞的語態和情態動詞。動詞read和Middle English之間為被動關系，應用被動語態；置于情態動詞can之后，應用動詞原形。故填be read。
解析：考查詞性轉換。根據設空前的定冠詞the和設空后的介詞of可知，此處應用名詞作賓語。development意為“發展”，為不可數名詞。故填development。
61．答案：of
62．答案：an
解析：考查介詞。句意：然而，在1066年，來自法國的諾曼人控制了英國，這與大約600年前日耳曼入侵的結果不同。take control of意為“控制”，為固定短語。故填of。
解析：考查冠詞。句意：但是法語對英語仍然有影響。have an influence on意為“對……有影響”，為固定短語。故填an。
63．答案：words
64．答案：inventing
65．答案：will be changing
解析：考查名詞。根據設空前的many可知，此處應用名詞復數。故填words。
解析：考查非謂語動詞。句意：眾所周知，人們會不斷地創造新詞，英語也會隨著時間的推移而變化。keep doing sth意為“一直做某事”。故填inventing。
解析：考查動詞的時態。根據上文will keep及下文over the time可知，此處應用將來進行時，表示隨著時間的推移，英語將持續不斷地發生變化。故填will be changing。

Should We Advocate Artificial Intelligence
Nowadays, with the development of technology, artificial intelligence is becoming more and more popular. It is universally acknowledged that AI plays an important role in our daily lives.
On one hand, I believe that AI such as face recognition makes our lives much more convenient and safer. What's of great importance is that AI like some robots can also do things that are too difficult or dangerous for people to do.
On the other hand, with AI taking the place of people in some industries, it will be more difficult for people to get jobs to make a living. Besides, some emergencies may not be coped with perfectly.
Personally, every coin has two sides. Only when we make good use of it, can it bring us great benefits.
第二節(滿分25分)
閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
“A nursing home would be safer, Dad，” Arlyn told her father, Jim.
“No way，” Jim interrupted. His wife passed away just a year before. At 91, he still wanted to remain in the cottage that he and his wife had built.
Jim started experiencing an early sign of Alzheimer's disease. Arlyn found his decline was indeed all－consuming. However, she herself was in her late sixties; her house was a 40－minute drive from the cottage. One day, when she read about a new eldercare service called Care Coach, it fueled her interest. For about $200 a month, a computerized avatar (頭像) (controlled remotely by a human caregiver) would watch over a home－bound person 24 hours a day. She signed up immediately.
A week later, a tablet arrived. Following the instructions, Arlyn uploaded dozens of family pictures. Then an animated dog appeared on the screen. She presented the tablet to Jim, pointing to the screen pet, and said excitedly, “Here Dad. You have a new companion.” Jim, doubtful about the dog's service, knew he had to learn how to get along with the dog before Alzheimer's took hold.
Within a week, Jim and his dog, whom he named Pony, settled into a routine. Every 15 minutes or so, Pony would look for Jim calling his name if he was out of view. Sometimes Jim would “pet” to awake the sleeping Pony on screen. Pony reminded Jim which caretaker would be visiting to do the tasks: preparing meals, driving him to a senior center, etc. Pony would read poetry aloud or discuss the news. When Pony praised Jim's sweater, Jim repaid by petting Pony's screen with his finger sending hearts floating up from the dog's head. One evening when Arlyn came to visit her father as usual, she was amazed to find that Pony was holding up a photo of her late mum to her dad between its paws.
注意：
1．續寫詞數應為150個左右；
2．請按如下格式在相應位置作答。
Jim stared at the photo fondly, with tears welling up in his eyes. ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
Seeing the close bond between Pony and her dad, Arlyn felt a relief. ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
寫前導讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了Arlyn (艾琳)為91歲的父親Jim (吉姆)注冊了一個新的老年護理服務——由人類遠程控制，可以一天24小時監控一個居家的人。之后她收到一個平板，屏幕上有一只動畫狗，父親給動畫狗取名為 Pony (波尼)。一天晚上，Arlyn驚訝地發現 Pony用爪子向父親舉起了一張她已故母親的照片，父親看到照片后情緒如何？看著父親和Pony的相處，Arlyn有何感受？
[精彩范文]
Jim stared at the photo fondly, with tears welling up in his eyes. Memories flashed through Jim's mind. It had been more than a year since his wife's death and hardly had he mentioned her anymore. That day, though, he gazed at the photo affectionately and declared emotionally, “I still love her.” Sensing Jim's sadness, Pony sent hearts to Jim on the screen and comforted him. Uplifted by Pony's loving remarks, Jim petted Pony's screen with his finger sending hearts floating up from the dog's head again. Pony responded with its tail wagging cheerfully. Arlyn sat in silence, with an illusion of slipping back to the old happy days.
Seeing the close bond between Pony and her dad, Arlyn felt a relief. She was amazed at Pony's heart warming service and her dad's fondness for Pony. Pony was more than just a virtual companion; rather, he had become a member of the family, a loyal friend who had helped them through the tough times. With time going by, Arlyn noticed the improvement in her father's cognitive ability and mood, and he got more engaged in conversations. Arlyn was grateful to Pony. Knowing that Pony was not a substitute for human interaction, she resolved to cherish every moment with her dad, for the presence of loved ones was crucial.
