In the story Snow White, the queen decides to get rid of Snow White forever with an apple filled with deadly poisons. Thanks to some helpful dwarves and a handsome prince, Snow White recovers, and everyone lives happily ever after.

But the queen didn’t need to go to all that trouble. In fact, apples and many common fruits we eat are already poisonous! But don’t worry the yummy part won’t harm you. It’s only the seeds* you need to avoid.

The apple tree is a part of a plant family called Prunus. This group also includes peaches, plums and cherries. There is a chemical* called amygdalin in the seeds of all these fruits. Inside an animal’s stomach, amygdalin turns into cyanide which can make people and animals very sick, or even kill them.

Still, don’t worry if you eat a few apple seeds by accident. Each seed has only a very tiny amount of poison. You’d have to eat plenty of seeds to feel any effect. And you’d need to chew* them well—the hard, shiny shells of apple seeds keep the poison locked inside. Unchewed seeds usually pass right through and come out whole in your poop. But cows and other animals often chew up seeds with the fruit, so they can get sick from eating apples and plums that fall to the ground.

Why would trees make poisoned seeds? To make them safe! Amygdalin tastes terrible. It’s also found in leaves and other parts of fruit trees. If a deer or a cow munches* on apple leaves, it gets a terrible taste and an upset stomach. Animals soon learn to leave those trees alone. Thanks, amygdalin!

Want evidence? If you bite into an apple seed, you’ll notice an awful taste. That’s the amygdalin. The apple tree doesn’t want you to chew up its seeds. It wants you to spit them out, so they can grow into new trees. Go right ahead!

Mirror mirror, on the wall, who’s the cleverest fruit of all?

You, my apple!

29. The writer mentioned the story Snow White at the beginning to ________.

A. explain the reason B. lead in the topic C. share the experience D. describe the problem

30. The underlined word in Paragraph 3 “cyanide” is a kind of ________.

A. hard seeds B. deadly illnesses C. common fruits D. harmful chemicals

31. According to the text, people or animals may get sick if they ________.

A. eat a few apple seeds B. chew up many apple seeds

C. spit out unchewed seeds D. smell hard and shiny seeds

32. What might be the best title for the passage?

A. The Poisoned Apple B. Plant Protection

C. Are Plants Poisonous? D. Are You My Apple?

When talking about fishing in China, Jiang Tai Gong is very likely to be the first name that would come to people’s mind.

The story happened in the late years of the Shang dynasty. Jiang Tai Gong once served the king of Shang dynasty, and began to hate him for tyranny from the bottom of heart. Jiang Tai Gong was a genius in military tactics and government management. He lived near the Weihe River about 3,000 years ago. The area was the feudal estate of Count Ji Chang. Jiang Tai Gong knew Ji Chang was very ambitious, so he hoped to get Ji’s attention.

He often went fishing at the Weihe River, but he would fish in an unusual way. He hung a straight fishhook, without bait, three feet above the water. Lookers-on were curious about it, and Jiang Tai Gong explained, “I would like to take honestly rather than to ask for with the knees down. I fish not for the fish but for the nobility (高贵).” Later words traveled to Count Ji. He sent a soldier to invite him. Jiang Tai Gong ignored the solider, going on with fishing, and was talking to himself, “Fishing, fishing, no fish has been hooked. A shrimp is up to mischief (恶作剧).” The soldier reported this back to Ji Chang, who became more interested in this man. Then, Count Ji sent an official to invite him. It didn’t work. Finally Ji Chang realized Jiang may be a genius, so he went to invite Jiang Tai Gong himself. Jiang saw his sincerity and honesty and finally decided to work for him. In the end, Jiang Tai Gong helped Count Ji and his offspring build a great power and build  Zhou dynasty — a great dynasty.

Today, people use the old idiom There are always fish willing to be caught by angler Jiang Taigong to describe someone who willingly falls in a trap or does something no matter what the result is. This idiom has been passed on from generation to generation. To some degree, it could be regarded as a part of Chinese philosophy.

33. Why did Jiang Tai Gong give up serving the king of Shang Dynasty?

A. Because Jiang was too old to serve the king. B. Because the king treated his people rudely.

C. Because Jiang was an ambitious person. D. Because the king didn’t need Jiang any more.

34. How did Jiang Tai Gong fish?

A. He fished with a straight hook in the water. B. He fished without bait above the water.

C. He fished with bait to plead for fish. D. He fished with a usual fishhook without bait.

35. What docs the underlined part “a shrimp” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. a kind of animal B. a small fish C. the soldier D. the official

36. Which of the followings can we use the idiom to describe?

A. Linda, who still trusts people that tell lies B. Annie, who is always willing to help others

C. Leo, who enjoys setting taps for others D. Tommy, who does things after thinking twice

D

ChatGPT, a smart AI chat-bot (聊天机器人) tool, has swept 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 a homework assignment.

Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT is a powerful tool. You can ask it to write stories and emails, create recipes(食谱), 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(设备).

The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on assignments. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread inaccurate (不确定的) 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.

Apart from bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to block 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, the headmaster at the University of Cambridge in the UK, said that bans on AI software like ChatGPT are not sensible (明智的). “We have to know that [AI] is a tool people will use,” he told Varsity, the school newspaper of the university. What we need to do is “adapt (调整) our learning, teaching and examinations”. That way, we can “have integrity (诚信) while recognizing the use of the tool”.

37. Some schools in the US banned the use of ChatGPT because ________.

A. students may use it to cheat on homework

B. it rarely provides correct information

C. it takes the place of teachers

D. it takes up most of the district’s networks

38. Jenna Lyle thinks that ________.

A. ChatGPT is necessary for academic and lifelong success

B. using ChatGPT is not good for developing students’ minds

C. ChatGPT is so far the smartest AI chatbot tool

D. ChatGPT might offer the wrong information

39. What did the educators in the US do to avoid the use of ChatGPT?

a. They blocked students’ access to the tool.    b. They learned to recognize papers written by ChatGPT.

c. They changed the forms of assignment.    d. They suggested laws to ban the use of ChatGPT.

A. ab. B. ac. C. bc. D. cd.

40. Which opinion is NOT mentioned in the story?

A. Using ChatGPT makes students lazy in thinking.

B. The complete ban on using ChatGPT is not wise.

C. ChatGPT will completely change current education.

D. ChatGPT can be useful for both teachers and students.
