ChatGPT was released (发布) late last year by company OpenAI. The technology chats in a conversational way, answering questions from users. The online chatbot (chat robot) has been trained on lots of information from the Internet - it can have a human-like conversation answering questions, admitting (承认) mistakes and refusing to answer improper questions. Experts say it can be used to write articles, stories, poems and even solve computer problems. But there are limits (限制) to what it can do, which OpenAI admits. Sometimes it writes answers which are incorrect or don't make sense, and it sometimes guesses what the user has asked it instead of asking more follow-up questions to understand the questions better.

ChatGPT is getting mixed opinions from people. Some think students might use it to cheat, while others think they should use the tool in the classroom to help children learn. Some people believe that _______▲_______. In their opinion, just like when Google was created, people were unsure at first, but if teachers introduce the technology and teach students the advantages but also the disadvantages, that can help with their learning. In the USA, the New York City education office didn't allow ChatGPT to be used at school and its Internet. They did so because of "bad influence on students' learning, and worries that the answers from ChatGPT are probably not safe or correct".

ChatGPT's ability to answer questions caused some users to wonder if it might take Google's place. Others asked if news reporters' jobs were at risk. ChatGPT and other AI systems, have also raised a number of social risks, according to Carly Kind of the Ada Lovelace Institute, an independent research center to make sure AI works for people. Among the possible problems of Al, Ms. Kind mainly worries that Al might store the false information forever.

AI has a long way to go, and big ideas yet to discover. We will fall over along the way, and learn a lot from getting in touch with the real world.

19. What do we know about ChatGPT?

A. It gives perfect answers to meet users' needs.

B. It's a chatbot that can answer questions from users.

C. It asks follow-up questions to chat better with users

D. It looks like humans and chats with users as a servant

20.Which of the following can be put in the “_______▲_______” in Paragraph 2?

A. the chatbot might do harm to teaching

B. the chatbot should be welcomed

C. the chatbot has no meaning to students

D. the chatbot might be better than Google

21. Which of the following questions does this text answer?

A. Why was CharGPT created?

C. What are the limits of ChatGPT?

B. How was ChatGPT invented?

D. When can ChatGPT be used at school?

22. Which of the following might be the writer's opinion about ChatGPT?

A. ChatGPT will bring problems and health risks to people.

B. ChatGPT still needs time to work for people in a better way.

C. ChatGPT will be changed by Google and never be used again.

D. ChatGPT is a perfect invention and brings benefits to the world.

                                       C

Death is a part of life and it's natural to grieve when an animal you love dies. Grieving — the feeling reaction to death - is an important part of the healing process (康复过程).

Deal with the loss of a pet

A pet is part of the family, so when they die, it can be very difficult and upset for everyone who loved them. It's a big change to get used to and it's natural to miss them. It can help to remember that your pet can no longer feel hungry, cold or pain.

It's OK to feel sad, angry, shocked or to feel hard to believe they're no longer alive. There's no right way to feel or to grieve. As people are all different, the length of time it takes for you to feel less sad may not be the same as for someone else. Dipti Solanki, who helps people with their grief, says, "In my opinion, your feelings matter and are normal after you lose a pet. They can feel really big and difficult to control." It's OK if sometimes you smile or laugh and don't feel so sad. It doesn't mean you loved your pet any less.

Share to overcome your bad feelings

It's better to talk than to keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself. Solanki says, "It's really important that you talk about feeling sad or afraid to your friends, because once you do, you will start to feel calmer and less alone. After you share your feelings, they become less serious and easier to deal with." Talking about your pet helps to keep

ir memories alive because you remember the time you spent together.

Celebrate your beloved pet

It can help to remember the funny things your pet did, what you loved about them and the happy time you shared. As well as talking about them, you can get creative. Print out photos of your pet and make them into a collage (拼贴画). You can also draw or paint a picture of them. Or write a story about something you did together or how they made you feel.

3. What does the underlined word "grieve" in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. To feel sorry for losing someone you love

B. To become lonely for living away from pets

C. To become tired for taking good care of pets

D. To feel happy for leaving something unpleasant

24.Why are Dinti Solanki's words mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A. To tell an interesting story.

B. To support the writer's opinion.

C. To give readers more facts.

D. To compare different examples.

25. Which of the following idea might the writer agree with?

A. The length of the healing process is the same

B. Sharing bad feelings is like cutting them in half

C. Keeping the feelings to yourself is a proper way

D. It's not necessary to feel sad for the death of pets

26 According to the text, what can we do to feel less sad about the death of a pet?

A. Talk to its photos or collages as if it were still alive.

B. Never talk about it as if it never appeared in our life.

C. Buy a new pet as soon as possible to forget the dead one.

D. Remember it needn't experience coldness or hunger anymore.

                                      D

Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction (上瘾). When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar goes into our blood and influences the parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has an especially strong influence. In this way, it is an addictive drug (药) that doctors advise we all cut down on.

"It seems like every time I study an illness and follow a way to the first cause, I find my way back to sugar," says scientist Richard Tohnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million have diabetes(糖尿病). Why? "Sugar, we believe, is one of the causes, if not the major cause,"says Johnson

Our bodies are designed to live on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food. so our bodies learned to be very experienced in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored for when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.

So what is the solution? It's clear that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today's world, it's pretty difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals (谷物) to after-dinner desserts (副点)，our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some producers even use sugar to replace (代替) taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat. So while the foods appear to be healthier, plenty of sugar are often added.

But some people are fighting back against sugar and trying to create a healthier environment. Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier choices, like fruit. Other schools are trying to encourage exercise by building facilities (设施)，so students and others in the community can exercise. The war has not yet been lost.

27. Which of the following is an OPINION in the text?

A. Up to 347 million people in the world have diabetes

B. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure

C. Sugar influences parts of brain to make people feel good.

D. Sugar is an addictive drug that people should cut down on

28. What does the phrase "the very thing" in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Storing sugar as fat.       B. Having less energy.

A. People today hardly exercise.

Ever since Greg was 5 years old, he had watched his grandfather carve(雕刻) the small wooden figures(图形). Greg was amazed by the quickness of his grandfather’s fingers as he passed the carving knife from one hand to the other, breathing life into what was once a lifeless piece of wood. Few people had this skill like his grandfather. Greg often wished that he could create wonderful little wooden works as his grandfather did.

One day, Greg’s grandfather called the boy into the workshop. “Today is the day that you begin to learn the lost art of carving.” Greg couldn’t believe his ears as he pulled up a small tool next to his grandfather’s working table. The sharp smell of the wood filled his nose, and he moved in closely to where his grandfather was working. Greg’s head was soon filled with the names of the different tools his grandfather used to create the wooden treasures.

After the introduction to the tools was complete, Greg picked up a piece of wood to make his first try at carving. He loved the feel of the rough(粗糙的) wood biting into his fingers. He worked for hours that day, trying to learn much from his grandfather.

Although his small, wooden piece was far from perfect, both Greg and his grandfather were quite proud of the work Greg had done. “I will give this piece a place of honor on my shelf,” Greg’s grandfather told him.

In a forest just outside Beijing, friends Li Xing and Sun Lian are digging. “Today is March 12. It’s Tree Planting Day.” explains Sun Lian. “In China, people all over the country plant trees on this day.”

The idea of an annual day for planting trees was first put forward in 1911 by Sun Yat-sen, the great pioneer in China’s history. He said more trees were needed as a protection against flood and drought (旱涝灾害). In 1915, the government named April 5th as Tree Planting Day. Then, in 1979, the day was changed to March 12th, to remember the date on which Sun Yat-sen died. The whole country plants trees on this day. In the last ten years, 65 billion trees have been planted across China.

“Everyone has heard of the Great Wall of China.” says Xing. “But have you heard of the Green Wall of China? That’s the biggest tree planting program of all.” The Gobi Desert in the north of China is growing every year. Terrible sandstorms blow away soil, making more land dry and useless. In 1978, a tree planting program began to try to stop the Gobi from spreading. The government and local farmers are planting millions of trees in a great green “wall” along the edge of the desert. When it is finished in 2050, it will be 4,500 kilometers long.

“Tree planting is a tradition in China now.” says Sun Lian. “Everyone does it on March 12th, but many people also plant a tree on a day that is special just for them. My parents planted trees when I started school and we planted one on my cousin’s wedding day. We do it for the environment and for ourselves.”

8．What’s the idea behind Tree Planting Day at the very beginning?

A．To celebrate the coming spring.

B．To make the environment beautiful.

C．To protect against flood and drought.

D．To remember the date on which Sun Yat-sen died.

9．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．The Green Wall. B．The Great Wall. C．The Gobi Desert. D．The sandstorm.

10．In which order did the following events develop?

a. 65 billion trees have been planted across China.

b. Tree Planting Day was changed to March 12th.

c. The government named April 5th as Tree Planting Day.

d. A tree planting program began to stop the desert from spreading.

A．c-b-d-a B．c-d-b-a C．d-c-b-a D．d-b-a-c

11．What’s the passage mainly about?

A．The prediction about the Green Wall.

B．The introduction of Tree Planting Day.

C．The problem of sandstorms people are facing.

D．The importance of protecting the environment.

The original Olympic Games were held in Peloponnesus, Greece, over fifteen hundred years ago. Later, the modern Olympic Games were revived (恢复) because of a French educator and sportsman. All-male Olympic Games were held in 1896 in Athens, Greece. Later, the first Winter Olympic Games were held in 1924, in Chamonix, France.

For many people, the Olympic Games consist of popular sports like swimming, running, or ice skating. Here are three unusual Olympic events, and three athletes who fell in love with them.

Curling

Curling is a sport that is played on ice. Two teams of four players each move eight round stones along the ice to a colored circle (called the house). The object of the game is to place a stone closest to the center of the house.” I started curling from primary school.” Canadian Olympic curler Sammy McCann told us. “My father Ind a hotel with an ice rink (溜冰场). As soon as the people left the ice, my friends and I would get right on and start curling.

Trampoline

Kids have been jumping on trampolines for almost a hundred years, but it was only at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney that trampoline became an official Olympic sport. In Olympic competitions, each trampoline athlete shows ten different skills. An athlete can score well by showing that they can control their bodies while jumping high and turning over in the air.

“I love the sport. I’ve been doing it since I was five years old.” said Jennifer Parilla, American trampoline athlete. After Jennifer competed in the 2000 Olympics (as the only American trampoline athlete), she got a tattoo (纹身) of a butterfly to remind her of her “new beginnings” as an Olympian.

Skeleton

The sport of skeleton racing first became an Olympic sport in 1928. Skeleton racers slide down an icy course at very high speed on a simple sled(雪橇). “I didn’t start skeleton until I was 30,” said American Skeleton racer Zach Gale. “While driving, my girlfriend and I took a wrong turn at Lake Placid, New York. That’s where the 1980 winter Olympics took place. They were offering skeleton classes that afternoon. My girlfriend Marcia Carter said, “Why don’t we give it a try? It was fun! I fell in love with it.”

12．Which of the following is curling?

A． B． C． D．

13．Who became interested in the event at the youngest age?

A．Zach Gale. B．Jennifer Parilla. C．Marcia Carter D．Sammy McCann

14．Why did these athletes take up these sports?

A．Because they fell in love with these sports.

B．Because their parents told them to do sports.

C．Because they wanted to enter the Olympics.

D．Because they caught the chance by accident.

When you hear the word “hero”, you may think of someone like Mahatma Gandhi, who spent his life working for his country. But there are also many everyday heroes—they may not make any great achievements, but they do what they can to help make a difference to people’s lives. Everyday heroes are normal people who are making the world a better place. One such person is Robert Lee.

Lee grew up in New York City. As he lived in a poor family, he learned from a young age the importance of saving food. When he was in college, he was part of a student group that raised leftover(剩余的) food for the homeless. This experience made him realize how serious the problem of food waste actually was.

After graduating from New York University, Lee and a college friend created a nonprofit(非盈利的) organization called Rescuing Leftover Cuisine. Its purpose is to collect unsold food from restaurants and offer it to homeless shelters(庇护处) and food kitchens.

The process is simple. Using an app developed by Lee and his team, restaurants report how much leftover food they have each day, and then volunteers collect the food from these restaurants and deliver(投递) it to homeless shelters and food kitchens. In the end, the food will be delivered to those in need. Lee believes this is a very good way of delivery.

So far, Lee and his team have successfully delivered over 150,000 kilograms of food, serving almost 300,000 meals to people who need them. Lee has shown how we can take small action to improve the lives of people around us. But Lee says that his work is far from over, “It’s just the beginning. With more restaurants, who knows how much more we can do?”

19．Robert Lee realized the importance of reducing(减少) food waste because of his _________.

A．great ability B．kind character C．study experience D．family background

20．The underlined word “they” in the fourth paragraph refers to _________.

A．volunteers B．restaurants C．Lee and his team D．people in need

21．Which of the following is the correct process of Rescuing Leftover Cuisine?

①People in need of food receive food from homeless shelters or food kitchens.

②A volunteer accepts the delivery job by picking up unsold food from the restaurant.

③The volunteer delivers the leftover food to homeless shelters or food kitchens.

④A restaurant reports how much food they have left each day through an app by Lee’s team.

A．①②③④ B．①④②③ C．④②③① D．④③①②

22．What might be the best title for this passage?

A．A Nonprofit Organization B．An Everyday Hero

C．The Importance of Saving Food D．The Problem of Food Waste

While mothers look forward to Mother’s Day, sellers expect the holiday even more. That’s because the money spent on meals, flowers, and other presents adds up to billions of dollars, and the spending keeps increasing year after year.

Not surprisingly, gifts like rings and necklaces top the list with $4.6 billion. Trips come in second of $4.4 billion. $2.6 billion will go towards buying flowers. Others include clothing ($2.1billion), electronics ($2.1 billion), and personal services.

Though motherhood has been celebrated across the world for centuries, this official(官方的) US holiday started because of the hard work of Anna Jarvis. She came up with the idea in 1905 to honor moms for the hard work they do for their families. The first celebration in 1908 at a Methodist church in Grafton, West Virginia, was such a success that Jarvis made up her mind to make the holiday a national holiday. To achieve her goal, she started a writing campaign(运动) to newspapers and lawmakers about the importance of a special day to honor mothers. While many states, towns, and churches had accepted the holiday by 1912, it took another two years for President Woodrow Wilson to set the second Sunday in May as official Mother’s Day.

However, soon after the holiday became official, sellers got the opportunity to market their products. Jarvis was not pleased with this. So she spent years speaking out and fighting against the “profiteers(投机商)”.

While Mother’s Day has become increasingly commercial(商业的), most moms would choose spending time with their families and a break from daily chores over going to expensive stores to buy things. So on Mother’s Day this year, do something thoughtful like making breakfast or doing laundry, and more importantly, spend time with your mom and give her a hug!

23．According to Paragraph 2, people are most likely to spend their money on _________ on Mother’s Day.

A．Trips B．flowers C．clothing D．rings and necklaces

24．The third paragraph mainly tells us how _________.

A．Anna Jarvis thanked her mother B．the writing campaign was organized

C．Mother’s Day became an official holiday D．President Woodrow Wilson honored mothers

25．Jarvis was unhappy with the holiday later because she _________.

A．wanted to start a better holiday B．failed to make the holiday popular

C．found it hard to get it accepted by people D．got disappointed at the way of celebration

26．We can infer from the last paragraph that most moms _________.

A．prefer cooking at home to eating outside

B．expect surprising gifts from their children

C．consider daily housework really great pleasure

D．consider Mother’s Day a chance to stay with families

The widespread use of Internet technology has made our lives easier but causes a big challenge to senior citizens (年长者), who are not always comfortable with smartphones and so many new apps.

Only a few senior citizens are able to enjoy the advantages that new technologies offer. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the number of people aged 60 and above was 255million in 2020, about 17.9% of China’s population. But only 23% of them were able to use the Internet. That means more than three-fourths of the senior citizens are not able to enjoy the digital (数字的) advantages.

Many senior citizens who can’t use smartphones are facing difficulties during this pandemic (疫情). Even with a smartphone in hand and the Internet, many of them still feel helpless. They don’t know how to call a taxi through the apps. It is reported that many shops refused to serve elders who don’t know how to pay by smartphones, instead of letting them pay in cash (现金). Worse still, as they don’t know how to get the Internet-based health code (健康码), they are refused to enter many public places.

New technologies become popular because they are often of great use in our daily lives. But many senior citizens, especially those who live in the countryside or those whose grown-up children don’t live with them, are not able to use the Internet or smartphones. There are different reasons for this. Some senior citizens can’t afford smartphones. Others may feel it difficult to learn new things like using smartphones. The digital gap (差距) between the elderly and the young is becoming bigger.

However, the elderly should not become a silent group who are kept away from new technologies. It is our responsibility to help them bridge the digital gap, and be patient with them when they face difficulties catching up.

27．The numbers in Paragraph 2 show that _________.

A．three fourths of the elders can’t afford smartphones

B．there are a small number of senior citizens in China

C．only 17.9% of the senior citizens can use the smartphones

D．many elders fail to enjoy the convenience of new technologies

28．What can we learn from the passage?

A．Most elders need help in how to use the apps.

B．It’s a must for everyone to have a smartphone.

C．Cash is no longer accepted in the shops in China.

D．Many shops refuse to offer service to senior citizens.

29．According to the passage, the writer may feel _________ about the situation of senior citizens.

A．Excited B．worried C．surprised D．angry

30．What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?

A．To show new technologies to senior citizens.

B．To encourage senior citizens to learn new technologies.

C．To raise money for poor senior citizens to buy smartphones.

D．To call on people to help senior citizens with new technologies.
