21、Auditory (听觉的) learning is one of the main learning styles created by the VAK model (学习风格模型) of learning. In fact, auditory learners get information best when it is presented through sound and speech. 【1】 but they may have trouble reading silently or staying focused in a completely quiet classroom. If you are an auditory learner, try these ways to improve your learning experience.
Record class lectures. 【2】. During class, focus your brainpower on listening closely to the lecture. You’ll process the information much better this way than if you try to write quickly down every word the teacher says. Later, you can listen back to the recording and take notes of the most important information.
Sit in the front of the room. 【3】
Participate in class discussions as much as possible. Talking about your ideas and voicing your questions will increase your understanding of the material. Encourage other students when they speak so that others feel just as comfortable as you do speaking in front of a group.
【4】. This technique will help you focus your attention on the auditory process, rather than any other visual stimulus (刺激) that might be in front of you.
Read assignments out loud. 【5】, if you’re given a homework assignment that involves reading a lengthy chapter. Instead, go to your room or another study space and read aloud to yourself.
A．Repeat facts with your eyes closed
B．You don’t need to write down everything word for word
C．Don’t feel like you’re trapped into a silent reading period
D．But it should make sense to you to be a helpful study aid
E．Find a spot in the front row so that you can hear every word of the lecture.
F．Ask your instructor’s permission to create audio recordings of class lectures
G．Those with an auditory learning style like to speak and hear others speak to learn
22、 Some caterpillars’ warning signals (信号) may have evolved (进化) from walking. A team, writing in the journal Nature Communications, reported that the hair-like structures the living things use to make sounds evolved from legs.
The team studied caterpillars which use these structures to communicate their ownership of leaves. This means the caterpillars are able to “tell” strangers to go away without risking injury in fighting. “These are really interesting caterpillars,” said Dr. Jayne Yack from Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, who led the research. “They make signals using hair-like structures which are on their back ends.”
The caterpillars drag these structures across the leaf to make scraping (刺耳的) sounds when strangers enter the area of their leaves. “When they make this signal, the strangers leave,” explained Dr. Yack. “It’s like saying ‘I’m here, get out of here — I already own this leaf’.”
The scientists looked at other species (物种) within the same group of caterpillars and created their “family tree”. They used chemical markers (标记物) to work out the relationship between the animals, showing which in the group were the more ancient species and which species evolved more recently. “Those more ancient species actually don’t have these sound-producing structures. They have legs that they use to walk towards strangers,” said Dr. Yack. These more ancient species, she explained, walk towards strangers and try to fight against them. “They can kill each other in the fighting,” Dr. Yack added. She said that the evolution of the scraping show had allowed the caterpillars to solve their fighting without injury. “So our idea is that these signals actually avoid harm to both sides — they solve fighting in a more ‘friendly’ way.”
The study also provides a map of an evolutionary process that many other biologists are researching.
【1】What can we learn about caterpillars’ warning structures from the text?
A.They have the same use as hair.
B.They are found in caterpillars’ heads.
C.They are used to fight against strangers.

B.create a map to show how caterpillars evolve
C.study species within the same group of caterpillars
D.make clear the relationship between different species of caterpillars
【3】What does the underlined word “They” in the fifth paragraph refer to?
A.The ancient species. B.The chemical markers.
C.The sound-producing structures. D.The more recently evolved species.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.How caterpillars evolved.
B.How caterpillars warn strangers.
C.Communication between caterpillars.
D.Caterpillars’ warning signals evolved from walking.
23、Two years ago, a small town in Thailand started to grow a kind of healthy rice. The healthy rice was not grown by farmers but by students from a small school of only about fifty people.
The idea of growing rice came from the school teachers. When making teaching plans, the teachers decided to teach students to grow healthy rice on school land. They wanted the students to get closer to the land and learn to help each other when doing the rice farming outside the classroom.
What’s better, the school made money from selling the rice and giving farming classes to the public. With the money, the school could help students who wished to travel abroad some day. Today the dream is coming true — the students are flying to Japan to share their special farming experiences, and have fun over there! “We all feel very proud that even students from a small town can make themselves seen in the world,” said one of the teachers.
【1】Who got the idea of growing healthy rice?
A．The headmaster.
B．The students.
C．The teachers.
D．The farmers.
【2】What does the underlined words “the dream” in the last paragraph mean?
A．The teachers’ plan to grow healthy rice.
B．The school’s aim to make more money.
C．The farmers’ hope to build more schools.
D．The students’ wish to visit foreign countries.
【3】What is the text mainly about?
A．A successful school project.
B．A farming class for farmers.
C．A new way to make money.
D．An exciting trip to Japan.
24、If you ask something of ChatGPT, an artificial-intelligence (AI) tool that is going viral, the responses you get back are almost instantaneous, utterly certain and often wrong. It is a bit like talking to an economist. The questions raised by technologies like ChatGPT yield much more indecisive answers. But they are ones that managers ought to start asking.
One issue is how to deal with employees’ concerns about job security. Worries are natural. An AI that makes it easier to process your expenses is one thing; an AI that people would prefer to sit next to at a dinner party quite another. Being clear about how workers would redirect time and energy that is freed up by an AI helps foster acceptance. So does creating a sense of agency: research conducted by a team in Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found that an ability to override (凌驾于) an AI makes employees more likely to use it.
Employees at Tapestry, a set of luxury brands, were given access to a forecasting model that told them how to assign stock to stores. Some used a model whose logic could be interpreted; others used a model that was more of a black box. Workers turned out to be likelier to overturn models they could understand because they were, mistakenly, sure of their own intuitions (直觉). Workers were willing to accept the decisions of a model they could not explain, however, because of their confidence in the expertise of people who had built it. The qualifications of those behind an AI matter.
The different ways that customers respond to humans and to algorithms (算法) is a booming area of research. In a recent paper Gizem Yalcin of the University of Texas at Austin and her coauthors looked at whether customers responded differently to decisions — to approve someone for a loan, for example, or a country club membership — when they were made by a machine or a person. They found that people reacted the same when they were being rejected. But they felt less positive about an organisation when they were approved by an algorithm rather than a human. The reason? People are good at explaining away unfavourable decisions, whoever makes them. However, it is harder for them to attribute a successful application to their own charming, delightful selves when assessed by a machine. People want to feel special, not reduced to a data point.
The picture that emerges from such research is messy. It is also dynamic: just as technologies evolve, so will attitudes. But it is crystal clear on one thing. The impact of ChatGPT and other AIs will depend not just on what they can do, but also on how they make people feel.
【1】It can be inferred from the first paragraph that the author thinks economists are likely to ________.
A．be unconfident about their own standpoints
B．provide unreliable suggestions to the public
C．be frequent users of such AIs as ChatGPT
D．serve as qualified consultants for managers
【2】According to the second and third paragraphs, which of the following statements is correct?
A．AI would be more accepted if it joins in social events like dinner parties.
B．Directors should find ways to remind employees of their false intuitions.
C．The finding of MIT research conflicts with the implication of Tapestry case.
D．Workers tend to accept a model hard to understand due to a sense of agency.
【3】According to the passage, Gizem Yalcin’s finding best explains that people ________.
A．tend to forecast negative judgements whoever the maker
B．react the same when receiving favorable assessments
C．refuse to be rated by a machine employed by a company
D．value their distinctive features in a particular situation
【4】The passage is mainly about ________.
A．employees’ and customers’ attitudes to AI
B．questions managers should ask AI tools
C．the research and development of AI techs
D．different ways of assessing AI applications
