She sees herself simply as an individual taking action in defense of something she loves that’s in need of protection.Despite her youth, the 24-year-old is an undersea veteran (老手). She grew up sailing around the Great Barrier Reef on her parents’ boat and spent her early life free diving while patiently waiting for the day when she could get her scuba diving (水肺潜水) certification, aged 12. Already impressed by sharks, Madison was now pleased to be able to observe them in their own world. “I got to know the sharks...I could recognize them by sight,” Madison says. “Other people had dogs around them growing up. I had sharks.”But within a couple of years, she saw a great reduction in shark numbers on the reef. “One day I went in the water and couldn’t find my sharks anywhere, sharks I’d spent my childhood with,” she says. “They’d been caught and killed.” It was a great moment for Madison.She left school at 14 to be homeschooled so she could spend more time in the ocean. She taught herself to shoot underwater video to document sharks in their own world and share her sense of wonder with others. She launched a YouTube channel and built a huge following for her documentaries where she focuses on issues like inadequate protection for some shark species and the global shark fin (鳍) industry.In 2014 Madison was the subject of the encouraging documentary Shark Girl, which introduced her to a global audience. In 2017 she appeared as an “Ocean Guardian” in the documentary Blue that explored a lot of threats to the world’s marine environments, including the damaging effect of the global shark fishery. The film encourages viewers to get involved and includes practical steps to guide them to do so. It shows Madison’s philosophy that the power of the individual to make a difference by their own direct action should never be underestimated.24．What did Madison do before getting her scuba diving certification?A．She went sailing often. B．She went boating alone.C．She practised free diving. D．She protected the Great Barrier Reef.25．Why did Madison shoot underwater video to document sharks?A．To record sharks’ world of wonder. B．To popularize her photography works.C．To raise awareness of shark conservation. D．To spare more time to accompany sharks.26．Which of the following may agree with Madison’s philosophy?A．Many hands make light work. B．Action speaks louder than words.C．Together we can make a difference. D．Personal influence can’t be ignored.27．What’s the purpose of writing this passage?A．To introduce an influential conservationist.B．To advertise some encouraging documentaries.C．To inspire people to protect whatever they love.D．To inform people how to preserve marine wildlife. For thousands of years, Chinese writers have travelled all over the country to take down notes about the geographical conditions of each city. Among them, well-known Chinese geographer and writer Li Daoyuan, in the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534), composed his book, Commentary on the Water Classics, after studying the original literary version, Water Classics. He later expanded the river records to 1, 252 from the original 137. The book is now being studied again by Professor Li Xiaojie and his team from Fudan University. They have been using drawing software and 3D modelling to recreate the waterway situations on a map based on the book description. So far, they have completed research on four rivers. “Ancient people knew really well how to apply the power of nature to technical considerations,”Li said, giving the example of Qianjin’e, one of the most famous ancient water conservation projects in Luoyang, Henan. In order to lead the river into the city for irrigation (灌溉) in ancient Luoyang, the officials built a canal branch by separating a northwest-southeast river. However, the canal water wasn't enough to support the citizens in dry seasons. To solve that, on the northern side of the canal branch, the officials built a reservoir (水库) and a channel to lead the water to the canal branch, where the waterways would converge and flow together to the city. In Commentary on the Water Classics, a total of 2, 800 cities are recorded with details. Still, the process of recreation takes much effort. After doing a lot of text analysis and fieldwork, the team has gradually created the model with 3D modelling software based on repeated deductions (推论). For Professor Li, the book is not only a record of the natural landscape over 1, 000 years ago, but also a detailed description of humanity and culture and a treasure for today’s reference.28．What can we learn about the book Commentary on the Water Classics?A．It has been out of date. B．It explains 3D modelling.C．It keeps records of 137 rivers. D．It is based on previous studies.29．What does the underlined word “converge” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Join. B．Pass. C．Cross. D．Begin.30．What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about model recreation?A．Its major problems. B．Its detailed analysis.C．Its complex process. D．Its successful application.31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．3D Technology Fuels Modern ResearchB．Ancient Classics Inspire Modern ResearchC．An Effective Approach to Model RecreationD．A Famous Writer of Chinese Ancient Classics Is the end of homework near? As new powerful artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT take the Internet by storm, teachers concerned with AI-driven cheating are questioning their teaching and assessment methods.ChatGPT, the most powerful AI language model ever developed by the company OpenAI, remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. Deriving its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet, it is fine-tuned using both supervised and reinforcement learning. It is capable of generating natural-sounding text on demand in just a few seconds. The quality of the copy it produces is sufficient to impress teachers in secondary and higher education, and even researchers. A few days after its launch, more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.The use of AI tools in copywriting has sparked an outcry around the world. In the United States, public schools in New York and Seattle have decided to block ChatGPT from their devices and WiFi networks. In France, the prestigious Sciences Po university in Paris has also just announced a strict ban on its use. But experts question whether bans like these are really effective. On one hand, students will always be able to access tools like ChatGPT through other means than school devices. On the other hand, some question the relevance of blocking access to a digital tool whose use is likely to grow in the professional world in the coming years.Amelie Cordier, a lecturer in artificial intelligence at Lyon University, notes that students haven’t waited for ChatGPT to try to escape the chore of homework—whether by photocopying the library encyclopedia, copy-pasting content from Wikipedia or enlisting their parents’ help. “What is ultimately very important in the learning process is not so much the subject on which you learn, it’s the methodology that you learn to develop around that subject,” Cordier said.32．Why does the author raise a question in paragraph 1?A．To imply a future trend.B．To arouse the readers’ interest.C．To introduce background knowledge.D．To reveal the negative effects of artificial intelligence.33．For what purpose does the author list figures in paragraph 2?A．To show the popularity of ChatGPT.B．To stress the high cost of inventing ChatGPT.C．To present the creativity of artificial intelligence.D．To prove the necessity of developing tools for chatting online.34．Which of the following is probably the reason for the experts’ question?A．Students can always employ AI tools in other ways.B．Teachers and researchers are impressed by ChatGPT.C．The bans have been announced only in the US and France.D．AI tools have already been widely applied in professional fields.35．What plays a critical role in learning according to Cordier?A．Parents’ help. B．The library encyclopedia.C．The system of methods. D．The content from Wikipedia.  五、七选五False Memories or Parallel (平行的) Realities?Here is a common situation: You’re talking with someone about an event, only to discover that you both remember things quite differently. Usually, you’d put it down to a poor memory, but what if it wasn’t just one person who remembered things differently? What if it was millions?In fact, this isn’t a “what if” situation. It’s known as the Mandela Effect, and it was first noticed in 2009 by paranormal researcher Fiona Broome. Broome was chatting with people about the South African activist Nelson Mandela, and she commented how sad it was that he had died in prison in the 1980s. ___36___ Actually, he'd been released in 1990, become president of South Africa, and died in 2013.Broome was so shocked at this that she started an investigation. ___37___ People have memories of movies that never existed, and famous words that were never spoken. There is even a group who clearly recall seeing maps showing that New Zealand was northeast of Australia (it’s southeast ). So what in the world is going on?___38___ In each reality, history is shaped by different events, and the Mandela Effect occurs when some of us shift from one reality to another. Therefore, those who remember Nelson Mandela dying in the 1980s aren’t wrong. They’re just remembering events from their original reality.More likely, however, is that the Mandela Effect has to do with how our brains store information. ___39___ Many people remember Pikachu’s tail having a black tip on the end of it, when in fact it was always yellow. “Aha!” you cry. “Parallel realities!” Probably not. Consider instead that people often ignore unfamiliar details and transform information to make it more understandable. In the Pikachu example, his tail may not have a black tip, but his ears certainly do. Thus, both his ears and tail are misremembered as having black tips. ___40___All things considered, if you’re stuck arguing with someone about whose version of events is correct, it may indeed be easier to agree that neither of you is wrong. You just come from different realities.A．Before we explain let’s look at an example.B．It turns out she wasn’t the only one who’d experienced this.C．If several people make these memory errors, the false memory gets stronger socially.D．The story of Nelson Mandela is not the only example of this type of false group memory.E．Some claim the Mandela Effect happens because we live in one of many parallel realities.F．Many in her group agreed, while others mentioned that Nelson Mandela had not died in prison.G．As more incidents of the Mandela effect continue to occur, perhaps more research into the origins will tell us the causes.  六、完形填空The insistent knock on the door brought me quickly from my kitchen.

Among tens of thousands of characters, “ren, ai, yi, meng, xiao” are strongly recommended. Obviously, most students think the five characters carry typical Chinese culture in terms of traditional beliefs and core values concerning morality and ethics.Of these characters, I put meng on the top of my list. Holding meng, which means best wishes for the future, one is not only to seek for opportunities for a better life, but also to create brand-new things for people around the world.Personally, Chinese characters are so charming that they are treasures of human cultures. With deep love for Chinese culture, we should strive to promote them to the world.
