He did this for many people, I know, but it was his special talent to make each visitor feel the smile was unique.“Ahhhh, it’s my buddy,” he would say when he saw me, in that foggy, high-pitched voice. And it didn’t stop with the greeting. When Morrie was with you, he was really with you. He looked at you straight in the eye, and he listened as if you were the only person in the world. How much better would people get along if their first encounter each day were like this instead of complaints from a waitress or a bus driver or a boss?“I believe in being fully present,” Morrie said. “That means you should be with the person you’re with. When I’m talking to you now, Mitch, I try to keep focused only on what is going on between us. I am not thinking about something we said last week. I am not thinking of what’s coming up this Friday. I am not thinking about doing another Koppel show, or about what medications I’m taking.”Morrie could spend every waking moment in self-pity, feeling his body for decay (腐烂), counting his breaths. So many people with far smaller problems are so self-absorbed, their eyes glaze over if you speak for more than thirty seconds. They already have something else in mind a friend to call, a fax to send, a lover they’re daydreaming about. They only snap back to full attention when you finish talking, at which point they say “Uh-huh”or “Yeah, really” and fake their way back to the moment.“Part of the problem, Mitch, is that everyone is in such a hurry,” Morrie said. “People haven’t found meaning in their lives, so they’re running all the time looking for it. They think of the next car, the next house, the next job. Then they find those things are empty, too, and they keep running.”；7．What is about Morrie?A．He likes smiling to others.B．He likes critical thinking.C．He is a man of many ideas.D．He is a man of many words.；8．How do people usually react when someone is speaking to them?A．They listen to others carefully.B．They always talk about themselves.C．They pay little attention to the conversation.D．They complain to each other about life problems.；9．How does the writer find Morrie?A．Serious. B．Lazy. C．Optimistic. D．Smart.；10．What does the story convey?A．People focus on material possessions in life.B．People had better cherish the present moment.C．People should learn how to strike up a conversation.D．People seek for the next thing to achieve happiness.C（说明文）Cars could soon be communicating with each other using 5G to make drivers aware of upcoming dangers, scientists claim. The ultra-fast mobile Internet would allow for rapid information transmission and could make drivers aware of black ice, pot holes or other dangers up ahead.Several car manufacturers are already integrating 5G into their vehicles, including as a tool to welcome the coming of self-driving vehicles. Experts believe the high-speed connection will also improve the reliability and capability of automated vehicles to the point where they will be safer than the manual cars being driven today. They predict the number of road traffic accidents — which according to the World Health Organization (WHO) account for more than 1. 3 million deaths and up to 50 million people injured worldwide every year — will drop thoroughly as a result. Dr Dimitrios Liarokapis, a member of the research group, said: “With the help of 5G, an early warning system that alerts (给……报警) drivers is possible within the next few years. Cars that are close enough to the danger area will send warning messages to other cars around them using short-range communication technologies, but also to cars further away using 5G, fast and reliably. Then those cars will transmit the same information to cars near them and so on, forming a joined-up, multi-vehicle communication chain that stretches far and wide.”Automotive giant Ford is already working on connected cars. Earlier this year it revealed its intention to fit 80 percent of its 2020 vehicles with technology that warns drivers about up-coming road accidents, bad weather and traffic jams. The system pools data from other connected road users, emergency services and the authorities and sends it from the cloud directly to the car. Alerts are shown on the car’s dashboard display warning the driver about what lies around the corner.；11．What can we expect of the cars in the future?A．They will be more personalized.B．They may replace other vehicles.C．They may be bigger.D．They will be safer.；12．What is the function of the communication chain?A．To send warning messages.B．To collect drivers’ information.C．To send the traffic situation to the police.D．To track other drivers.；13．How can 5G help reduce road accidents?A．By offering practical safety programs.B．By offering the fast mobile Internet.C．By helping WHO calculate traffic accidents.D．By helping drivers overcome dangers.；14．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Connected cars are equipped with 5G.B．Ford is the first producer to use 5G.C．Cars of Ford are the most intelligent.D．Warning messages are shown on phones.D（议论文）To battle the plagiarism (抄袭), some schools in America have responded to ChatGPT by cracking down, according to the New York Times.New York City public schools, for example, recently blocked ChatGPT access on school computers and networks, citing “concerns about negative impacts on student learning, and concerns regarding the safety and accuracy of content.” Schools in other cities, including Seattle, have also restricted access.A US’ online course provider Study. com recently asked 1,000 students over the age of 18 about the use of ChatGPT in the classroom. The responses were surprising. Around 89 percent said they’d used it on homework. Over 50 percent said they used ChatGPT to write an essay, while 22 percent admitted to having asked ChatGPT for a paper outline.While the chatbot (聊天机器人) is raising fears of academic cheating on school campuses, some education insiders believe introducing the Al-ended tools to the academics could even overturn the traditional education. “For researchers, finding valuable scientific problems and solving them in creative ways come first, and then writing academic papers. Some Al-enabled writing tools can create and polish words or even write long text based on a few keywords shortly,” said Zhu Wei, a law professor in China. For example, ChatGPT helps writers gather reference materials for their papers, which not only increases the efficiency of the work, but also allows researchers to devote more energy to more creative work.“Whether to use ChatGPT depends on whether there is cognitive investment in using it. For those students who just use it to cope with homework or exams,” Zhu said, “this is putting the cart before the horse, which should be restricted. To avoid academic misconducts through using the tools,” Zhu suggested introducing software to help educators sift through text generated by ChatGPT. He believes schools should embrace ChatGPT as a teaching aid which could unlock creativity in students. “The core role of such tools is not to replace human thinking, but to enhance human thinking,” Zhu said.15．Why did New York public schools forbid ChatGPT access?A．They were worried about its potential harm.B．Schools in other cities have similar restrictions.C．Their students were addicted to using ChatGPT.D．ChatGPT has caused much damage to education.16．Why does the author find the responses from students surprising?A．Many students used ChatGPT improperly.B．Most students thought highly of ChatGPT.C．ChatGPT is not accessible to students in school.D．ChatGPT is believed to replace traditional education.17．What’s Zhu Wei’s attitude towards using ChatGPT?A．Favorable. B．Objective. C．Unconcerned. D．Critical.18．What is the purpose of the text?A．To report the latest development of ChatGPT.B．To advocate the use of ChatGPT in the classroom.C．To inform some US schools’ responses to ChatGPT.D．To introduce different opinions concerning ChatGPT. 参考答案ABC ACBB DABA AABD
