“There are waves rushing across the sea.There are ships sailing underthe sails on the middle of the sea.All through the spring has been filled with a rich and poetic atmosphere.”It'sa beautiful poem that was writtenin several seconds byChatGPT. It is a powerful AI chatbot that can give you an answer to just about any question you have.It'sas if you could have a conversation with Google,a tool to search for information.
New things always bring benefits for all walks of life.We can get information supported by thousands of webpages, with the information in a simple language.ChatGPT can also help people who are poor at foreign languages communicate effectively.In addition,using it as a teaching tool can help teachers save time.For example, Chat GPT provides teaching ideas and activities for classes.Another fun way is to ask for cooking ideas with the ingredients*you have on hand.When used in this way,Chat GPT can be a great tool to make the world closer and better!

With ChatGPT,finding information becomes much easier than using the internet or a book.It could make cheating much easier,and make students feel their hard work isn't rewarded.
ChatGPT also presents other problems.Nowadays,there are millions of people around the world working in the‘knowledge economy*’.It may have influence on people,such as translators, scientist,teachers and writers.Because Chat GPT helps people get information easily,these jobs could become much easier. It may lead in the result that, as their skills are no longer something companies need.

While many people are going to beaches in California, Hawaii or Florida for sunny trips during the winter, a remote hotel called the Sheldon Chalet has something else to offer.
The hotel is in Ruth Glacier Alaska, US. It’s 1,829m above sea level, and lies in the mountains of the Denali National Park. People can only get there by air, flying over trees, cabins and moose below in about 45 minutes.
The Sheldon Chalet is named after the father of two of the hotel’s owners, Robert and Kate Sheldon, whose parents designed the original hotel in 1966. Although it began to be built in 2018, it was only recently completed. Kate said, “Building this hotel was a challenge. The simple things in life, like running water, are actually quite a luxury when you’re 6,000 feet up on a glacier.”
The hexagonal structure has a main floor with a kitchen and living room and a second floor with five bedrooms for guests. The hotel can carry up to ten people at any given time. The 3-night stay costs $35000 per couple, including flight service, a private doorkeeper and fine dining. And the stay offers amazing snow-covered views during the day, and the northern lights at night. During the day, people can enjoy glacier hiking and fishing, while at night, they can watch the stars or try delicious dishes. “We get guests into places which are only for experienced mountaineers willing to risk their lives.” said Robert, “This is an experience like no other.”
It’s not the kind of experience everyone can afford, but if money isn’t a problem, staying at the Sheldon Chalet is something worth.

A. the location B. the structure C. the service D. the management

The opening ceremony of the 2022 Winter Olympics was held in Beijing on Friday night, February 4th. Social media users described it with these words: amazing, glittering and dazzling.
The main stage of the ceremony in the National Stadium, commonly known as the Bird’s Nest, is designed to be like a huge Chinese character “Zhong”, covering almost the whole stage. In fact, it is the world’s largest ground LED screen. The screen, with a size of 10,552 square meters, was actually made up of about 42,000 small LED modules. The supersized ground screen, together with a 10-meter-high vertical screen, allowed the audience to have a wonderful experience.
To build such a big ground LED screen wasn’t an easy task. As the main stage, on which all performances and the Parade of Nations took place, it had to be wear-resistant, water-proof, electrically safe and able to support heavy weights. What was more challenging, as the stadium is open-air, the ground screen had to be able to support the winter freezing temperature, as well as weather like rain and snow. To solve all the challenges, technicians built a special protective covering for it.
With the help of AI, 5G, AR and naked-eye 3D technologies from the company CALA, which once offered them to the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics opening ceremony, the ceremony presented many amazing moments. The most unforgettable moment is when the Olympic Rings were “carved out” of a 3D cube shaped like a block of ice on the screen. Another great point is that children sang and danced across the stage, when stars appeared on the screen under their feet.
Thanks to the screens, creative ideas and high technologies, the two-hour ceremony only needed around 3,000 excellent performers, compared with 15,000 during the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics opening ceremony. It greatly meets the theme of energy saving.
Thomas Bach, the president of IOC believed that the 2022 Olympic Winter Games would be “in safe hands” when Beijing won the bid in 2015. The amazing ceremony showed the world that China has kept its promise of hosting a fantastic event with strong determination and confidence.
33. The main stage is ________.
A. the largest vertical LED screen B. similar to “Zhong” in Chinese
C. covering the edge of the stadium D. about 10,552 meters in height
34. The underlined word “them” refers to ________.
A. the technologies the ceremony used
Bthe moments the ceremony presented
C. the screens that were served for the kids
D. the rings that were “carved out” of the ice
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Excellent performers played quite an important role in energy saving.
B. Bach promised the Games would be safe when Beijing made the bid.
C. China made a great effort to achieve a victory of the opening ceremony.
D. The ceremony was such a creative one that more performers attended it.
36. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The high technology explores a new field in China.
B. The LED screen brings a big surprise for the world.
C. The opening ceremony is a difficult task for Olympics.
D. The 2022 Winter Olympics presents amazing memories.

Buck’s first day in the frozen Northland was terrible. Every hour there was filled with shock and frightening surprise. Here was neither peace, nor rest, nor a moment’s safety—only endless noise and movement. And every minute there was danger, because these dogs and men were not town dogs and men. They knew only the law of club and tooth.
Buck had never seen dogs fight like these dogs: they were like wolves. He learnt this from his friend, Curly. She tried to make friends with a big dog. But without warning, the dog jumped on Curly. Curly’s face was torn open from eye to mouth. And the fight did not finish then. More dogs ran up and made a circle around the fight, watching silently. Curly tried to attack the dog who had bitten her. He bit her a second time, and jumped away. When Curly tried to attack again, he knocked her backwards. And she fell on the ground. Curly never stood up, because this was what the other dogs were waiting for. In a moment, she was under a crowd of dogs. Then Francois and other men with clubs jumped in among the dogs. Soon the dogs were chased away. But Curly lay dead in the snow, her body torn almost to pieces. Curly’s death often came back to Buck in his dreams. He understood that once a dog was down on the ground, he was dead.
That night Buck discovered a problem. Where was he going to sleep? He found Francois was in the tent. Buck followed him quietly. But when he went in and wanted to sleep in the corner, Francois shouted angrily and beat him with a club. Buck ran out and walked around the tent, very, very cold, wondering what to do. Suddenly, the snow under his feet fell in. There, something was moving under the snow.
So he knew what he could do. ▲ . He slept well, although his dreams were bad.
In the north, Buck was learning the law of club and tooth. He learnt to eat any food—anything that he could get his teeth into. He learnt to break the ice on water holes with his feet when he wanted to drink. He learnt to travel through the forest and kill for meat with wild dogs. He was stronger, and could see and smell better than ever before. It was easy for him to learn to fight like a wolf, because it was in his blood.
37. Curly’s death made Buck realize ________ in the north.
①how terrible the new life was ② the secret of winning a fantastic friend
③how dangerous the men were ④ the importance of fighting like wolves
A. ①② B. ②③ C. ①④ D. ③④
38. Which of the following can be put in ________.
A. Buck ran into the tent secretly and rested in the corner.
B. Buck dug himself a hole and soon was warm and asleep.
C. Buck walked around the tent, shouting from time to time.
D. Buck lay on the snow and finally fell asleep, nearly frozen.
39. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. The way to be wild B. A cold world for animals
C. The days that used to be D. A clever dog from the south
40. What made Buck learn to fight like a wolf?（请用约40词回答）

三、阅读单选
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected our daily life a lot in 2020, including the way we travel. Recently Airbnb has done a research on it and here is the result. The top three ways may continue in 2021. Let’s take a look.
Nearby travel
With many travel rules during the pandemic, people preferred traveling to nearby places in 2020, for they care a lot about the public safety. According to the research, 62 percent of people are interested in taking a vacation nearby with an increase of 80 percent．People who live in large cities want to get back in touch with nature. Travelers are looking for places different from their everyday flats, such as farm stay.
Pod travel
During the pandemic, we found people want to be more connected. So “Pod travel”, getting together with loved ones in safety places, is growing rapidly. According to Airbnb, 85 percent of people choose to travel with family or close friends in quiet villages. It has increased 90 percent. Pod travel can not only improve the relationship among relatives and friends, but also reduce the risk of suffering the pandemic.
Cloud travel
To stay safe, many people worked and learned at home in 2020 because of the pandemic. In order to get the balance of working and relaxing, cloud travel resulted. It is a kind of travel online. According to Airbnb, there was a 128 percent increase in it. “People actively took part in the new kind of travel. It could free themselves from the rush work, and also open their mind to the wonders of the world freely.”
26．According to the research, what kind of activity increased most in 2020?
A．Nearby travel B．Pod travel C．Cloud travel D．Home stay
27．From the passage, we know people all care about their ________.
A．safety B．hobby C．wealth D．family
28．Which of the following is “pod travel”?
A．Paul would like to stay at home to enjoy the fantastic movies with his sister.
B．Lee will spend the coming May Day with his parents in a peaceful countryside.
C．Louis had a wonderful trip with her new friends from different countries last month.
D．Karen plans a long trip to Xinjiang with her pen friends during the summer vacation.


Smartphones have become basic part of our daily lives. According to a 2020 report by the China Internet Network Information Center, China had 175 million Internet users under the age of 18 in 2019, with 74 percent having their own smartphones. “This is worrying, as long-time use of smartphones harms children’s eyesight, cervical vertebra and even the brain,” reported the World Health Organization.
On Feb 19, 2021, the Ministry of Education released a notice that asked all local primary and middle schools to include rules about smartphone usage at school management. Many schools have taken rules to limit students’ phone use at school.
Zhou Dandan, an English teacher at Beijing No. 20 High School, noticed that many students were crazy with their phones. Some even played games on them in classes. Zhou said that most students lacked self-management. Spending too much time on the phone will distract them and prevent them from learning, she added.
Liu Yanping, headmaster of First Branch of Beijing National Day School, thought every coin has two sides. So it was unwise to take a “one size fits all approach”. “You can’t simply cut students off from the Internet in the digital world,” Liu said.
Chen Xue, a parent from Wenzhou, allowed her daughter to take her phone to school. Chen said it was more important to improve kids’ ability to self-management and developed good habits of phone usage.
Xu He, a 13-year old from Zhejiang, supports the policy. “In fact, my school has never allowed us to bring our mobile phones,” Xu said. “It’s a distraction from our work. Even adults can’t control themselves, let alone kids like us. “However, the 14-year old Ge Ziqi who uses a bike-sharing app every day to go between her home and school said, “If I can’t take my phone with me, I’ll have to buy my own bicycle.”
29．The opinions are shown in this passage by ________.

C．Chen Xue, a mother from Wenzhou, supports her daughter to use her smartphone.
D．Both of the middle school students agree with the management of the smartphones.
32．In which part of a newspaper can we probably read the passage?
A．Life. B．Health. C．Education. D．Science.


2021 two sessions have included several important topics, such as food waste and wildlife protection. Artificial intelligence (AI) which is influencing our lives in every way is in one of them.People are no longer unfamiliar with AI. It has already been used to do housework, develop medicine, recognize faces, and so on. Now a new painter is ready to join the list.
Next month, auction house Christie’s Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first painting created by AI for sale. The painting is a picture of a man called Edmond de Belamy, and is expected to be sold for up to $10,000. The work was created by software developed by the French art group Obvious. It shows a man with a mysterious look on his face. Laugero-Lasserre, an art collector from France, called the work fantastic and amazing at the same time. This isn’t the first example of Al-produced artwork, as AI has already been used to write poems and songs. However, many people doubt whether it should be called art at all. “According to Russian writer Leo Tolstroy (1828～1910), art is about creating emotion. It’s a mean of joining people together in the same feelings,” he once said.
What is the emotion behind art? How to put the emotion into art? As we all know, the ability to create and use tools is what makes human beings different from other species. People always create works with all kinds of emotions, happy or upset, excited or disappointed. Several designers have made a lot of effort to create the paintings by the AI technology. Together, they “fed” the AI with a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own.
The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement. However, not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech artists yet.
33．In the first paragraph, the writer wants to ________.
A．lead in the two sessions of 2021 B．provide some advice for the readers
C．show a well-known painter to us D．introduce a new topic and cause interest
34．What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A．AI created artwork for the first time.
B．The work is Laugero-Lasserre’s look.
C．An art collector thought badly of the work.
D．AI hasn’t created paintings before the sale.
35．How did the designers make AI create paintings?
A．They let AI practice repeatedly. B．They put a lot of paintings into AI.
C．They let AI watch famous paintings. D．They invited an artist to operate AI.
36．What will the writer most probably talk about in the paragraph that follows?
A．Some examples supporting AI artworks.
B．Some different opinions about AI artworks.
C．Some famous artworks that AI has created.
D．Some new and interesting artistic activities.
