2023-2024学年度湛江市廉江二中高三英语9月月考卷阅读理解　ＡIf you want to know how crazy people
can be about their pets, you might remember that Helmsley left $
12 million to her little Maltese dog when she died last year.The
dog''s name is Trouble. And apparendy Trouble is still alive. Of c
ourse, I would hang on,too, if someone left me $12 million. Look!
Top-shelf dog food, soft pillows everywhere, drivers walking me
in nice leafy parks. I would live to be 110 in dog years.The dog''
s story is still fresh in my mind the other night when I leave a
steak house after a superb meal. Then I notice a woman carrying a
small bag out of the door behind me.Once outside, she walks over
to where a man is holding a tiny dog hke it''s a baby. The dog lo
oks like a Maltese, too, barking and annoying, with a cute haircu
t,And now I am treated to an absolute astonishing sight. Because
now the woman reaches into the bag and begins pulling out little
pieces of meat, which she puts on a plastic spoon and feeds to th
e dog.This is no cheap steak house. It''s actually, way out of my
league --I''m there only because it''s a special occasion. I can te
ll you this: if I walked out of the place with any leftover steak
, it sure wouldn''t go to a dog. Not at those prices.So now the wo
man is Spoon-feeding the dog and the man is just standing there,
holding this dog and looking as if this is the most normal thing
in the world. And the dog is calmly chewing these pieces of steak
as if he''s a little king. And this dog is in no hurry. He''s havi
ng a great time.A few minutes go by, and now the dog finishes all
of his steak. At this point, I hear the woman say to the man "Th
ink he''s still hungry?" And she glances behind her at the restaur
ant, as if she might go back in there to get more steak for the d
og.Watching all this, I''m afraid I''m going to shout, "Are you out
of your mind? Feeding all that pricey steak to that little dog?
Did you see what our American life is like today? We''re all going
to be eating dog food if this keeps up!"1．Why would the author l

nstant message that is available through most cell phone provider
s. The SMS language is a special shorthand slang language that is
used by the instant messaging community.The SMS language is vast
communication shorthand that contains hundreds of phrases. There
are several online dictionaries and directories that outline the
complete list of these phrases. These dictionaries are freely av
ailable to individuals and provide the necessary information to c
orrectly format SMS messages.Most of the SMS language can be type
d in fewer than six letters. This makes it easier to enter inform
ation on a cell phone. Much of the format is based on the first l
etter of each word within a phrase, but some words are also repre
sented with numbers. An example of a simple text message is OBE,
which stands for overcome by events. The number 411 is the number
shorthand for information.Text messaging has become a dangerous
problem for drivers because many people are handling the SMS lang
uage while they drive. Many states have passed laws prohibiting t
ext messaging while operating a motor vehicle. This is typically
considered careless driving and should be avoided. A new form of
popular texting is the sending anonymous(匿名的) messages. With this
form of instant messaging the recipient is unaware of who sent t
he original message. Anonymous SMS is only available on smartphon
es that have special application. Many Internet instant messaging
sites allow anonymous messages but standard cell phone will alwa
ys include the phone number of the sender.Some advertising compan
ies are beginning to use the SMS language. They have found that S
MS marketing is a new domain(范畴) for advertisement. The mobile ma
rketing association has created guidelines that define(界定) the be
st practices for sending advertising information over mobile devi
ces. This form of marketing has exploded in many countries, which
has made this a possible marketing media.5．What can be learned a

of a large vocabulary.B．Some online dictionaries limit its usage
.C．It can be used only in some special communities.D．People have
access to it from online dictionaries for free.6．What is the disa
dvantage of using the SMS language while driving?A．It is too comp
lex to handle.B．It may cause road accidents.C．It usually disturbs
the sender.D．It can’t be applied to smartphones.7．What does the
last paragraph mainly discuss?A．Another new form of SMS.B．A new a
pplication of SMS.C．The best practice of SMS.D．The best marketing
media, SMS.8．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To introduce t
he SMS language.B．To show how the SMS language is formed.C．To pro
ve it is dangerous to handle the SMS language.D．To advertise the
SMS language on standard phones.　ＣOn April 18—the International D
ay for Monuments and Sites, China Daily’s digital employee Yuanxi
and Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes’ official virtual cartoon figure Jia
yao together introduced an interactive digital platform that host
s a virtual copy of the Mogao Grottoes’ Library Cave(藏经洞) to the
world. The platform was developed jointly by the Dunhuang Academy
and the Chinese tech firm Tencent. It uses gaming technologies t
o show the historical scenes of the Library Cave in the digital w
orld.The Library Cave in Mogao Grottoes was discovered in 1900, w
ith more than 60,000 cultural relics dating from the 4th century
to the 11th century unearthed. It was one of the most important a
rchaeological discoveries in the 20th century.On the platform, vi
sitors can role-play and “time travel” to ancient dynasties and t
alk with eight historical figures. The public can enter the platf
orm through the Digital Dunhuang website and its WeChat mini prog
ram.In the digital age, the model of “culture+technology” has bee
n introduced to promote the development of Chinese culture. The d
igitalization rate of China’s precious cultural relics is now ove
r 70 percent, according to the 2022 China Digital Collection Indu
stry Research Report released by iResearch.Institutions such as t
he Palace Museum have also started online digital services of the
ir own. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology allows the public
to view the interior of the buildings through the Palace Museum’
s WeChat mini program.The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has als
o encouraged the development and transformation of cultural intel
lectual property(知识产权) by digital means. China Central Television
has created a series of digital collections with different Dunhu
ang themes, such as the Dunhuang divine deer(神鹿) Youyou. It was c
reated based on the image of the nine-colored deer from Dunhuang
murals(壁画). The public can see the divine deer on CCTV’s own digi
tal platform.Digital collections cater to the consumption habits
of young people, who grow up in the information age. They not onl
y protect the intellectual property of the collections but also b
ring the public closer to China’s “excellent traditional culture”
, noted Dunhuang Art Institute.Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang
Academy, told Xinhua that more efforts will be made to explore n
ew forms for showing cultural relics and offer the public greater
cultural experiences to develop Dunhuang culture.9．What can visi
tors do on the interactive digital platform for the Mogao Grottoe
s’ Library Cave?A．Play role-playing games set in ancient times.B．
Play video games featuring historical figures.C．Talk to the desig
ner of the digital Library Cave.D．Design digital caves showing hi
storical scenes.10．What is the purpose of developing digital plat
forms for cultural institutions?A．To show the latest gaming techn
ologies.B．To help cultural institutions make a profit.C．To promot
e the development of Chinese culture.D．To encourage people to exp
lore new forms of cultural relics.11．Why does the article mention
the Dunhuang divine deer Youyou?A．To stress the importance of di
gital collections.B．To describe its popularity among young people
.C．To present how digital collections are developed.D．To introduc
e a successful example of digital collections.12．What does the un
derlined phrase “cater to” in the second-to-last paragraph most p
robably mean?A．Ignore.B．Satisfy.C．Challenge.D．Change.　ＤIn 2015, a
man named Nigel Richards memorized 386, 000 words in the entire
French Scrabble Dictionary in just nine weeks. However, he does n
ot speak French. Richards’ impressive feat is a useful example to
show how artificial intelligence works—real AI. Both of Richard
and AI take in massive amounts of data to achieve goals with unli
mited memory and superman accuracy in a certain field.The potenti
al applications for AI are extremely exciting. Because AI can out
perform humans at routine tasks—provided the task is in one field
with a lot of data—it is technically capable of replacing hundre
ds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years
or so.But not every job will be replaced by AI. In fact, four ty
pes of jobs are not at risk at all. First, there are creative job
s. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot invent, lik
e scientists, novelists and artists can. Second, the complex, str
ategic jobs—executives, diplomats, economists — go well beyond th
e AI limitation of single-field and Big Data. Then there are the
as-yet-unknown jobs that will be created by AI.Are you worried th
at these three types of jobs won’t employ as many people as AI wi
ll replace? Not to worry, as the fourth type is much larger: jobs
where emotions are needed, such as teachers, nannies and doctors
. These jobs require compassion, trust and sympathy—which AI does
not have. And even if AI tried to fake it, nobody would want a r
obot telling them they have cancer, or a robot to babysit their c
hildren.So there will still be jobs in the age of AI. The key the
n must be retraining the workforce so people can do them. This mu
st be the responsibility not just of the government, which can pr
ovide funds, but also of corporations and those who benefit most.
13．What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?A．To introduce the top
ic.B．To mention Nigel’s feat.C．To stress the importance of good m
emory.D．To suggest humans go beyond AI in memory.14．Which of the
following best explains “outperform” underlined in paragraph 2?A．
Be superior toB．Be inferior toC．Be similar toD．Be related to15．Wh
ich of the following jobs is the most likely to be replaced?A．The
writer.B．The shop assistant.C．The babysitter.D．The psychologist.
16．Which of the following suggestions can the author give about j
ob replacement of AI?A．Limit the application of AI to a certain d
egree.B．Get more support from the government.C．Apply for the dona
tion from companies.D．Upgrade people’s professional skills all th
e time.二、七选五This summer, as the capital of England became warmer
than before, there has been many stories from people experiencing
odd insect bites. 17 18 And, as the Space song said, the female
s of these species are more deadly than the males, being the ones
that seek out animal blood as extra nutrition for their eggs. Mo
squitoes are more secret attacker, biting us very precisely with
their needle-sharp mouth. Horseflies have a particularly cruel bi
te using their jaws to bite into our skin like a carving knife un
til they break a blood vessel(血管). 19 “Insects have a special and
specific relationship with heat,” says Vicki Sims from Lady Bug
Pest Control. “The rise in temperature sees insects grow faster.
20” So, what does this mean for the state of our skin? Long and
warm London summers mean we may see more of the insects we expect
, but some new ones we don’t. 21. Usually arriving with internati
onal shipments(运输), traditionally “insect species brought over wo
uld die out relatively quickly because of our cold weather,” says
Natalie Bungay from the British Pest Control Association. “But a
s the weather warms up there’s more chance that they’ll survive a
nd become a problem, so effective measures should be taken as soo
n as possible.”A．Year on year, many species are altering their be
haviour and biology to follow the trends of the seasons.B．Even th
e London Underground has its own species of mosquito with a parti
cular appetite for human blood.C．Concerns about increase of alien
(外来的) species in the UK are growing.D．The main insects out for yo
ur blood in London are mosquitoes and horseflies.E．And it has rai
sed the awareness of social psychologists.F．These insects are far
more active in warm weather.G．The higher the temperature is, the
more poisonous the insects are.三、完形填空Armenian musician Astrid Po
ghosyan 22 great pride in the Chinese name she picked for hersel
f, Ma Xingxing. The given name “Xingxing.” literally meaning 23
is inspired by her Armenian first name, while the surname “Ma” is
taken from Ma Chao, a famous 24 from China’s Three Kingdoms Per
iod（220-280 AD）. Poghosyan always puts all her 25 into the proje
cts in which she is involved, whether they are offline or online
events, 26she believes that every little effort will help her rea
lize her 27 dreams. “I believe music knows no borders, and that
cultural exchanges via music are especially important during the
COVID-19 pandemic,” she said. Having studied and worked in China
for 12 years, Poghosyan has now become a real China hand, versed
in the country’s language and culture. Such a multicultural backg
round has 28 helped her good at her current job because she know
s how to use the 29 of a multicultural background in her work. H
er 30 for Chinese culture, including Jackie Chan movies and stor
ies of Mulan, helped her 31 the difficult language-learning proc
ess. As she gradually 32 herself in the Chinese language and cul
ture, she also started to make Chinese friends and 33 the vibran
t city life of Shanghai. “Since I first came to Shanghai, I have
always been 34 by the kindness and friendliness of the people he
re. Even when I couldn’t speak Chinese, in the first days, everyo
ne I met gave me a big 35, whether they were sanitation workers
on the streets or cashiers in convenience stores. Their smiles ha

据第四段中的＂Text messaging has become a dangerous problem for drivers
because many people are handling the SMS language while they driv
e.＂可知，对司机来说，发短信已经成为一个危险的问题，由此可知，开车时使用短信语言容易造成事故，故B项正确。7．段落大意题。根据最
后一段内容，特别是根据“Some advertising companies are beginning to use the S
MS language.”可知，本段主要介绍了短信语言可用于广告的这种新应用，故B项正确。8．写作意图题。通读全文，特别是根据第一
段中的“The SMS language is a special shorthand slang language that i
s used by the instant messaging community.”可知，本文的目的是介绍短信语言及其应用，故A
项正确。9．A 10．C 11．D 12．B【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，文章主要介绍了《中国日报》联手敦煌莫高窟

。13．A 14．A 15．B 16．D【分析】这是一篇议论文。人工智能有取代人类工作的潜力，但是，并非所有工作
都会被人工智能取代，有四种类型的工作完全没有风险。因此，在人工智能时代人类仍然会有工作，关键必须是对劳动力进行再培训，这样人们才能
从事这些工作。13．推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知一个名叫奈杰尔·理查兹（Nigel Richards）的人在短短九周内记住了《法
国拼字游戏词典》中的386，000个单词。但是，他不会说法语。其展示了人工智能是如何工作的。而后文主要与人工智能有关，由此推断作者
写第一段的目的是引出人工智能这个话题。故选A项。14．词义猜测题。根据划线部分所在的句子Because AI can outper
form humans at routine tasks—provided the task is in one field wi
th a lot of data—可知AI可以在日常任务中outperform人类（前提是该任务在一个涉及到大量数据的领域中），根
据划线部分后文it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of million
s of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.可知从技术上
讲，人工智能具有在未来大约15年里取代成千上万的白领和蓝领工作的能力。结合下文推断人工智能能够具有取代人类的工作是因为AI在日常任
务中表现超过了人类，划线词的意思是“胜过，超过”，故选A项。15．细节理解题。根据第三段中的First, there are cr
eative jobs. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot i
nvent, like scientists, novelists and artists can.可知四种类型的工作完全没有风险
。首先，有创造性的工作。人工智能不可能像科学家，小说家和艺术家那样进行发明创造。也就是作家和科学家不会被取代。排除A项。根据第四段
中的as the fourth type is much larger: jobs where emotions are need
ed, such as teachers, nannies and doctors.可知需要情感的工作，例如老师，保姆和医生也不大
可能被取代，因此排除C项和D项。B项（商店售货员）既不具有创造性，又不需要情感，也不复杂，是很简单的工作，在四个选项中最有可能被代
替。故选B项。16．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的So there will still be jobs in the age of
AI. The key then must be retraining the workforce so people can
do them. 可知作者认为在AI时代仍然会有工作，关键必须是对劳动力进行再培训，这样人们才能从事这些工作。进行培训是为了得到专
业技能，由此推断作者会给出一直提升人们的专业技能的建议，故选D项。【点睛】词义猜测题的难度较大，对画线词上下文的理解是关键，例如本
篇第2题，根据划线部分后文it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of m
illions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.
可知从技术上讲，人工智能具有在未来大约15年里取代成千上万的白领和蓝领工作的能力。由此推之人工智能在日常任务中是胜过人类的。故猜测
划线词的意思是“超过，胜过”，选出A项。17．B 18．D 19．F 20．A 21．C【导语】本文为一篇

more chance that they’ll survive and become a problem”（但是，随着天气变暖，
它们很可能幸存下来并成为麻烦）”可知，空后提出，这些昆虫是由国际运输带去的，且它们会因为天气变暖而生存下来成为麻烦，故C项“外来物
种的担忧变得越来越严重”符合，故选C项。22．A 23．C 24．B 25．A 26．D 27．A
