Monkey Buffet Festival, Thailand

On the very last Sunday of November, if you find yourself in Lopburi, Thailand, you can attend this strange and wonderful festival. In an ancient temple, an impressive feast is held for the local macaque monkeys（猕猴）.After the ceremony，the furry guests of honor begin to enter the temple. Sheets are then pulled from tables and towers which feature a bright and dazzling pile of fruits, vegetables, candies, and even ice cream! Just come to watch these precious animals feed on the food happily. Actually it sounds like a party to us too.

El Colacho, Spain

This strange festival actually dates all the way back to 1620. Babies that are under 1 year of age are all welcome to participate. These babies are laid out on mattresses（褥垫）in the middle of the procession（队伍）route. Men dressed as devils will then wait for the beat of a drum to signal they should begin. Holding whips, they make their way around the route, jumping over each mattress with the baby on it. Locals feel that the event will bring their children health, luck, and guard them against evil spirits.

Cheese Rolling Festival,  England

When it was first started, locals of the English town of Brock worth, Gloucestershire would gather at Cooper's Hill. Nowadays, this festival attracts competitors from all over the world every May. From the very top, a 3-4 kg wheel of cheese is sent rolling down the hill. Participants take off after it, trying to catch the speeding cheese wheel. If nobody manages to catch the rolling cheese, the first person to cross the finish line would be the winner. The prize is the wheel of cheese, of course. The trip after the cheese is so difficult that doctors wait at the bottom to provide first aid to unlucky participants in need.

The Leshan Giant Buddha is a statue of Maitreya（弥勒佛）in sitting posture. The Buddha is located in Sichuan Province, facing Minjiang, Qingyi and Dadu rivers. In December,1996, the Buddha was included by UNESCO on the list of the World Heritage List.

Facing the river，the Buddha has symmetrical（对称的）posture and looks which have been beautifully captured in its solemn（庄严的）stillness. The statue was begun in the year 713 in the Tang Dynasty, and finished in the year 803. The Buddha is 71 meters high. And its 8-meter-long instep（脚背）is big enough for one hundred people to sit on and the 28-meter-wide shoulder is large enough to be a basketball playground.

It was a monk called Hai Tong who initiated the project. His concern was for the safety of the ordinary people who earned their living around the joint of the three rivers. Tempestuous and wild waters brought out numerous boat accidents and the simple people put the disaster down to the presence of a water spirit. So Hai Tong decided to carve a giant statue beside the river thinking that the Buddha would bring the water spirit under control. Besides, the fallen stones dropped during the carving would reduce the water force there.

After 20 years' begging from door to door, he finally collected enough money for the plan. When some local government officials tried to get this amount of money, Hai Tong said that they could get his eyeballs but not the money raised for the Buddha. After he dug out his eyeballs, these officials ran away in fear. The project was half done when long-suffering Hai Tong passed away，and two of his disciples（门徒）continued the work. After a total of 90 years' hard work, the project was eventually accomplished.

Having such a long history， the Buddha was nearly destroyed by the erosion（侵蚀）of wind and rain. And with its worldwide fame, the renovation of the Buddha has received extensive attention both at home and abroad. Then in 1963 the Chinese government began the repairing work under the instructions of experts from UNESCO. And at present, the maintenance work is still in progress.

24.What was Hai Tong's purpose to build the statue?

A.To gain fame.

C.To respect the water spirit.

B.To spread Buddhism.

D.To protect local people.

25.How did Hai Tong fund the project?

A. By begging for money.

C.By asking the government.

B.By working on the river.

D.By building businesses.

26.Which word can best describe Hai Tong?

A.Generous.

B.Social.

C.Devoted.

D.Cruel.

27.Which column of a newspaper does this passage belong to?

A.Innovation.

C.Policy watch.

B.Art and culture.

D.Forum trends.

From checking social media every minute to being lost in computer games, we tend to overuse technology. “For many people, a moment without your phone or laptop in sight can feel like a lifetime,” the Daily Mail commented.

A computer model called Mindy may persuade many people to think twice. A team from the US-based company Toll Free Forwarding built a three-dimensional model to uncover the negative effects technology can have on human bodies in less than 800 years.

“Spending hours looking down at your phone strains your neck and throws your spine（脊柱）off balance，”explained Caleb Backe， a health and wellness expert in the US. Then， the muscles in our neck need to spend extra effort to support the head, making our back hunched and neck wide.

“The way we hold our phones can cause pressure in certain points of contact-causing text claw（手机手），”Nikola Djordjevic，a practicing physician in Serbia told the team. It affects the elbows too, causing pain in the arm. Scientifically, it is called cubital tunnel syndrome（肘管综合征）． That’s why Mindy has a 90-degree elbow， and her hands look like she's always holding a mobile phone.

Some people also commented that human evolution may not work this way. They believe that only features with actual benefits would be kept throughout the years. For example, features that can increase the rate of survival, instead of the negative impact of technology.

However, current human lifestyles still raise concerns. A model called Emma was built by researchers in the UK in 2019 to show how the way people work at their desks could change them in 20 years.

The research team built Emma based on the health issues mentioned by over 3,000 workers in France, Germany and the UK. Emma's back stays bent, and her legs are swollen due to the time people spent in front of computers. With little time spent outdoors and in the sun, her skin is pale, too.

28.What is the purpose of building the model Mindy?

A.To encourage better use of electric devices.

B.To discourage people from overusing phones.

C.To prove the immediate effects of using phones.

D.To find solutions to overusing phones.

29.What does the model Mindy look like?

A.She has bent fingers.

C.She has dark and healthy skin.

B.She has a normal elbow.

D.She is hunch-backed and thin-necked.

30.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?

A.Negative technological impact.

B.Beneficial evolution prediction.

C.Mindy's future appearance.

D.The connection between evolution and technology.

31.Why does the author mention another model Emma?

A.To compare the two models.

C.To relieve concerns of lifestyles.

B.To promote healthy lifestyles.

D.To contradict the optimistic opinion

The ISS orbits Earth at an average of 250 miles from the surface of Earth and completes 15.5 circles per day, once every 92 minutes. In other words, the astronauts see the sunrise and sunset 16 times every day!

The station is inhabited by astronauts conducting research in various fields, while also using it as an observatory to explore Earth and outer space. It is also intended to be a transportation center for spacecraft that are bound for the Moon, Mars and other interplanetary voyages.

The crew is not only responsible for the scientific experimentation and research being conducted onboard, but also the upkeep and maintenance of the vessel, a vessel that is continuously in motion and exposed to the worst possible elements. Such conditions are significant area of study for researchers.

The most common effect of space is the initial contact-getting used to such an alien environment. Astronauts are often seen to display anxiety or depression as they adjust to the novelty of space, according to post-psychiatric screenings of astronauts. Other causes of stress are the high pressure of work while being under frequent public observation, being away from home and family, and missing important events.

Sleep is another major factor that affects the mood and efficiency of the astronauts. Due to the irregularity in life and the constant rotation（转动）of sunrise and sunset， the circadian rhythm（生理节律）of the astronauts goes completely haywire， resulting in poor quality of sleep. The shuttle itself is noisy, with essential equipment always in operation to sustain the vessel. Half of all the astronauts onboard rely on sleeping pills to get some rest and manage to get an average 2 hours less sleep than when they're back on Earth. Sleep is so critical for functionality that 50% of all medicines taken by astronauts in orbit is to help them sleep better. Low-Earth Orbit living is a restless endeavor, indeed.

32.Which of the following is most likely to affect the astronauts' mood?

A.Scientific experiments onboard.

C.Interplanetary voyages.

B.Observation of outer space.

D.Exposure to extreme conditions.

33.Which of the following can best explain the underlined phrase in the last paragraph?

A.Return to normal.

C.Go unnoticed.

B.Become out of control.

D.Remain unchanged.

34.How can we describe the astronauts' life in the ISS?

A.Highly-pressured.

C.Safe and sound.

B.Trouble-free.

D.Quiet and beautiful.

35.What is mainly discussed in the passage?

A.The functions of the ISS.

B.The missions of the astronauts.

C.The mental challenges of living in the ISS.

D.The splendid view of the space.

Currently, ChatGPT is an exciting new AI technology that has the potential to revolutionize（使变革）the way humans interact with machines． 36 ChatGPT can be a beneficial tool for everyone, especially for many students in the following ways.

Concisely rephrase（改述）lengthy articles and essays to make them easier to read. Students are frequently unable to delve deeply into concepts, essays, or articles to build full understanding in academic settings due to academic pressure and demanding and busy study schedules, especially with deadlines for reading long publications. 37 Students can utilize ChatGPT to summarize articles, research papers, and even essays to get the main ideas of the material in a brief summary.

38 To support students effectively, ChatGPT can be of great help because it generalizes the notes in accordance with the word limit students demand in a clear and brief manner. Studying and getting ready for exams and tests can be quite helpful. The class notes can be organized in a typed manner with only a few quick prompts（提词），putting all the materials in one place. Students can employ straightforward prompts that list the sources that need to be compiled（编纂）into the summary as well as the maximum length allowed.

Organize, create, and send emails. Students may frequently write emails, applications, or formal letters of communication to their teachers, or peers. In particular, if they have a busy academic schedule, writing such formal papers can be exceedingly time-consuming and laborious. Then ChatGPT helps. 39 Just entering the objective, and specifying the tone students want, ChatGPT may generate a grammatically correct and formal email in a matter of seconds.

Time management and academic organization. Aside from those to help with actual academic tasks, ChatGPT can also assist students with organizing and categorizing their academic work in general. And they can use this tool more efficiently to get general guidance and recommendations on how to handle academics, such as how to organize an assignment, how to balance academic work with other interests, and so on. 40

A. Summarize the class notes.

B.Come up with artistic composition ideas.

C.And it could create more powerful and useful AI applications.

D.More importantly, it relies on human feedback to improve its accuracy.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When school was over，the day was fading and it started to drizzle（下毛毛雨）.I stood at the school gate, with a loaded backpack on my shoulders. It was Friday again: a weekend of joy with unlimited sleeping hours and dinner courses specially made to my taste, a weekend at home. I waved goodbye to my friends as they jumped into their fathers' warm and comfortable cars. Curiously, this gave rise to a disturbing feeling in me. It was not exactly what they called jealousy， but something like dismay（沮丧）.I knew all I could expect was an old bike Mom would ride along on， with the badly-oiled chain creaking（嘎吱作响）against the wheel to announce her arrival.

Every 'Friday when Mom came to pick me up for the weekend, it was a moment full of great expectation and great unease. I always felt my face burning as we rode our way in and out of the numerous cars and saw my friends' faces sticking out of the car windows. It was like stepping into a ballroom with beautifully dressed ladies and finding yourself in a smelly T-shirt.

To tell you the truth, Mom is quite a headache once in  a while. She just looks a homely middle-aged housewife. Being a practitioner of DIY,  she knits most of my sweaters, chiefly in old styles. Whenever caught by some curious classmates asking what brand my sweaters are, I'd force a smile and reply in a half joking manner: homemade.

I couldn't remember when I started to find her such an embarrassment. As a little boy, I relied on her so much. She had been working at home, cooking in the kitchen, knitting by the lamp or riding across town to buy me a book I badly needed. It had always been much fun riding with Mom. But just now there seemed to be something standing between us, something that made her so strange to me and me to her.
