IV. Reading comprehension(1%×15=15%)
A
In December 2022, people in Shenzhen found that water ran more slowly from their taps. The government said the city was facing its most serious water shortage ever.
Some other cities in the southern part of China, like Chengdu and Guangzhou,are also becoming“thirsty”,The Paper reported. Compared(相比) with northern areas, southern areas have more rain and are close to more rivers and lakes.So why are they still short on water?
In big cities like Shenzhen and Guangzhou, populations are growing fast. As a result, people and factories need more and more water. Each person in Shenzhen has less than 200 cubic meters of water each year. It's l/12 of the country's average. According to the United Nations, it is an “absolute water shortage”(极度缺水)when the number is below 500 cubic meters.
Climate change is making the water problem worse. For example,most cities in Guangdong depend on the Dongjiang River as their main source(来源)of water. In 2022, the river was reported to be drying up. Because of climate change, there's also less snow in the mountains of Tibet. The snow has long been the source of water for many areas in China. Those mountains might provide less water in the future.
There are other reasons for water shortages. For example,water pollution makes it harder to get clean drinking water. Factories and farms don't use water efficiently(有效地). Some cities have enough rainfall, but don't have big lakes or reservoirs(水库)to store water. The water just goes into the sea.

B. The rivers flow through many areas with less rain.
C.Mountains in Tibet have less snow.
D.Most water goes to the sea before people can get it.
54.Which is NOT a reason for the water shortage mentioned in the last
paragraph?

I spent a lot of time sitting by the sycamore(悬铃木)tree, trying to figure out what Juli meant to me. Was she just another girl, or was she special? The
more I thought about it, the more I realized that I couldn't compare her to
anyone else. She was just Juli, and she was amazing.
One day,I decided to climb up the tree to the top. When I looked out over the neighborhood, everything looked different—like I was seeing it for the first time.I could see the park where we used to play, and the comer where Juli's house was.And I could see her, sitting in her front yard with her sketchpad(速写板).
As I watched her, I realized that I had never seen anyone so passionate(热诚的) about something. When she was drawing,it was like she was in another
world---a world where nothing else mattered but the pencil and the paper. And that made me admire her even more.
I wanted to know more about her, so I started asking her questions.

wanted to be part of her life,no matter what.

she looked up and saw me.She smiled and waved.and I felt something inside me change.It was like a piece of me had been missing, and now it was back.

ChatGPT,a smart AI chatbot(聊天机器人)tool, has changed the education world
in the past months. According to a US survey of more than 1,000 students, over 89
percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with homework.
Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT is a powerful tool. You can ask it to write stories, create recipes, translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions.
Some schools in the US,Australia and France have banned(禁止) the use of ChatGPT. In the US, for example,New York City public schools banned
students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the district's networks and devices.
The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on homework. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread incorrect information.
“It does not build critical-thinking(批判性思维)and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for academic(学术的)and lifelong success,”said Jenna Lyle, the deputy press secretary of the New York City Department of Education.
Besides bans,teachers are making changes to their classes to stop the use of ChatGPT.Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones.
However, not all educators say“no”to ChatGPT.Some Canadian universities are drafting(起草)policies on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to completely ban the tool so far.
Bhaskar Vira, pro-vice-chancellor for education at the University of Cambridge in the UK, said that bans on AI software like ChatGPT are not wise.“We have to know that AI is a tool people will use. What we need to do is adapt our learning, teaching and examinations. That way, we can have integrity(诚信)while recognizing the use of the tool.”
61.How many uses of ChatGPT are mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A.3 B.4 C.5 D.6
62. Which of the following is NOT a disadvantage of ChatGPT?
A.It doesn't improve the students' skills in thinking critically and solving problems.
B.It will be much easier for students to cheat on homework while using it.
C. It may spread incorrect information from the Internet to the real world.
D.It can help to train students to speak and write more than to type.
63.What is Bhaskar Vira's opinion on ChatGPT?
A. It is not wise for people to ban the use of it completely
B. The society won't have integrity with its development.
C.People should make plans for the coming problems.
D. Not everyone will use this tool in the future.
64.What does the underlined word“adapt ” in the last paragraph mean?
A. 修改. B. 适应 . C. 编写. D. 调整.
65.Which is the best title for this text?
A.A smart AI chatbot
B.ChatGPT: a good study tool?
C.ChatGPT leads to storm in education
D.Can students use Al for homework?

VIII. Task-based reading(0.5%×10=5%)
With the summer holiday just around the corner, it seems like everybody is busy planning their vacations. Here are some tips that can help you enjoy your holiday without emptying your pocket.
Travel off-season(淡季)
Go to your desired destination when the demand is low and take advantage of huge discounts(折扣).During the peak(高峰)season,the hotel and flight prices increase quickly, and it'll possibly take more of your vacation time to stand in line because of the rush of tourists.So it's best to find out when the off-season starts.
Surf the Internet while traveling
Websites can be helpful in finding discount hotel rooms. Look for places that do not charge extra for children if they use the existing bedding.
Stay with the locals
If you and your family are going to stay for a longer period, it is a good choice to rent a small apartment. It's cheaper and the landlords may tell you a lot about the locals' life.
Eat like a local
Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something
new? Planning your meals is another way to reduce your travel costs.During your family trip, try new food where the locals eat. This will not only save money, but also provide(提供)you with a new and different experience. For smaller meals and snacks, avoid restaurants and try street food or other takeout.
Try hard to bargain(还价)
It is well-known that tourist-heavy places overcharge for just about everything, including clothes, travel goodies, souvenirs and so on. As a result, you shouldn't feel ashamed to ask for bargains. Bargain hard to get the best price.
Choose local transportation
Don't take taxis whenever possible since they are very expensive. Instead, take buses, railways or subways, which are always cheaper.If you are planning to stay for a while,you can consider renting a car, which is much easier than carrying your bags everywhere if you are moving around a lot.




IX. Fill in the blanks with proper words. The first letter of each word is
given.(0.5%×10=5%)
The different backsides of the fifth series(系列)of Renminbi banknotes show the most f 1 landscapes(风景)in the country. Besides their obvious value,they all c 2 their own cultural value as well.
For example, on the back of the 5-yuan banknote is Taishan Mountain in Shandong. For t 3 of years, many emperors(皇帝)would go there and pray(祈祷)for the c 4 prosperity(繁荣).On the back of the 1-yuan banknote are the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon at the West Lake in Hangzhou. Since a 5 times, the location has been a great attraction for moon watchers during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The candle lights from the three pagodas( 塔 ) are reflected(映出) on the w 6 and look like little moons.
The Renminbi pictures have helped make these classic Chinese landscapes e 7 more popular among tourists. Many love to find out w 8 the pictures were taken. For example,Pan Jinyu from Chongqing went on a“banknote t 9 ”of China when he was 21 years old, appreciating all the sights presented on Renminbi banknotes of the fifth series from 1 yuan to 100.“I want to finish this ceremonial(有仪式感的) journey and f 10 the beauty of our country,”Pan told Chongqing Economic Times.
