The potter, Lucie Rie, was a key figure in British post-war art. Her technical innovations permanently extended the language of studio pottery.

Published as a series between 1827 and 1838, Birds of America achieved international fame due to its epic scale and the book's outstanding ornithological（鸟类学）illustrations. Compton Verney's grounds are a wildlife reserve, making the perfect setting for the show.

On a tram smoothly pulling into the heart of Luxembourg City, Marck gives a smile and takes a look at the fabric of the seat next to him. For him, the city's trams are more than just transport. More even than the focus of his job. They are about transforming his country and, perhaps, changing the world.
Marck is the director general of Luxtram, Luxembourg's modern trams. It first started running services two years ago. Next year, Luxembourg will become the world's only country to get rid of fares on all its forms of public transport. Luxembourg's traffic problems come from its army of workers. The population of the capital city almost doubles during the working day, when more than 110,000 people travel in and out.
After three decades when its roads have become so crowded, Luxembourg is going to do something remarkable. Free fares, and a plan to persuade people to switch from cars to trams or trains. Marck, along with many others, is excited to see what happens next. "The fact that this is free means that everyone can use it—young or old, rich or poor," he said. "Everyone can say to themselves it's better to leave the car at home. We must continue to improve and extend the network. It must always be comfortable, well-connected, efficient."
Lydie Polfer, the city's mayor, says she hopes to reach the point where more than a third of people come into the city using public transport-at the moment, it's less than one in five. She said, "It's not practical to ban cars because some people, like the elderly, need them. But everyone has to be aware that he or she can do something to improve the situation. There is an expression in German-you are not in the traffic jam-you are the traffic jam, and that is true. I think that making it free will be the biggest arguments for people to use public transport."
24. Why does Marck think the city's trams are more than just transport?
A. The trams are his goal that he strives for.
B. There are more means of transportation than trams.
C. City's trams bring more changes beyond transport.
D. The trams are the heart of Luxembourg City transport system.
25. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The cause of the traffic problems. B. The means of public transport.
C. The development of running services. D. The increase of working population.
26. What concerns people most when using the public transport?
A. The convenience. B. The fare. C. The comfort. D. The efficiency.
27. What can be learned from what Lydie Polfer said?
A. The elderly needn't use public transport.
B. It's possible to persuade most people to use the trams.
C. Everyone can do his part to improve transport situation.
D. Those who don't take public transport cause traffic jams.

Within weeks of its launch, ChatGPT started a new global race in artificial intelligence（AI）. The chatbot is a part of a fresh wave of generative AI—complicated systems that produce content from text to images—that is set to have a great impact on Big Tech, industries and the future of work in a decade.
As an artificial-intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI, an AI research company, ChatGPT was released in November 2022, which can have conversations, generate poetry, and suggest edits to computer programming code. The second half of its name, GPT, stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer. Transformers are specialized algorithms（算法）, learning to predict not just the next word in a sentence but also the next sentence in a paragraph and the next paragraph in an essay. This is what allows it to stay on topic for long stretches of text.
ChatGPT is trained on a vast number of articles, websites and social-media posts from the Internet as well as real-time conversations with people. It learns to mimic the grammar and structure of the writing and reflects frequently-used phrases. But it isn't always accurate: its sources aren't fact-checked, and it relies on human feedback to improve its accuracy.
OpenAI developed ChatGPT as part of a strategy to build Al software that will help the company turn a profit. In January, Microsoft, its strategic partner, announced a fresh multibillion-dollar investment in OpenAI and said it plans to integrate ChatGPT into its Bing search app and other products. Google and Baidu are also pushing to launch similar tools.
ChatGPT has reached 100 million users just two months after launch. Despite its sudden burst in popularity, the technology currently has serious limitations and potential risks that include giving misinformation and breaking laws on intellectual property（知识产权）.
28. What is ChatGPT able to do?
A. Produce texts. B. Create pictures. C. Develop robots. D. Perform operations.
29. What does the underlined word "mimic” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Define. B. Introduce. C. Copy. D. Ignore.
30. What is OpenAI's main purpose of developing ChatGPT?
A. To build company image. B. To improve work efficiency.
C. To offer translation service. D. To make more money.
31. Which statement might the author agree with?
A. AI will dominate human life. B. ChatGPT should be used properly.
C. AI is unlikely to pose risks to people. D. ChatGPT should be extended to every field.
D
Dogs can understand when humans mean well, even if they don't get what they want from us. Now, the close social bond between humans and dogs is well established, but researchers have a limited understanding of whether and how dogs comprehend human intent. To see if pet dogs can distinguish between intentional and accidental actions by strangers, Christoph Völter at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna in Austria and his colleagues ran tests with humans-offering dogs food while the animals' body movements were tracked using eight cameras.
Each dog and human were separated by a transparent plastic panel with holes that a slice of sausage could be passed through. In 96 trials of 48 pet dogs, human participants either teased the dog by holding up and pulling back a treat, or they pretended to clumsily drop the piece of sausage on their own side of the panel before the dog could eat it. In all trials, the dogs had to wait 30 seconds before finally getting their reward, during which the team tracked their reaction.
The research found that when humans pretended to drop a treat compared with when they intentionally pulled it away, the dogs responded more patiently. They made more eye contact with the experimenter, wagged their tails more and stayed closer to the transparent barrier, suggesting they were still expecting a treat. Dogs that were teased sat, laid down and backed away the barrier more frequently. The results were similar across different dogs, ages and sex.
In the clumsy trial, the dogs also wagged their tails more on their right side, a behaviour known to be associated with dogs that are happy and relaxed. "They have more positive emotions towards the clumsy experimenter, which might indicate that they indeed understand that the experimenter is willing, but just too clumsy, to give them food," says Völter.
32. What was Völter's research intended for?
A. Clarifying how humans bond with dogs.
B. Training dogs to adapt to new surroundings.
C. Understanding dogs' sensitivity towards food.
D. Detecting if dogs understand human intention.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Research findings. B. Research method.
C. Research background. D. Research data.
34. How did the dogs react when sausages were pulled away on purpose?
A. They moved away more often. B. They barked more loudly.
C. They bit sausages more fiercely. D. They waited more patiently.
35. What is the text?
A. A diary entry. B. A course plan. C. A science report. D. A tour brochure.

How to Avoid Distractions While Studying
You know you really want to do well in your study. Your parents have put the pressure on, or you promised yourself you would do better. But you keep getting distracted（分心）! How can you solve the problem? 36
Find a place that makes you want to study. If the books and seriousness of the library put you in the mood for focusing on study, go for it. If the comfortable chairs and coffee at your local café are what you need to get through your reading for English, go there. 37
Set a study schedule. When you have many subjects to study for, it can seem hard to get through everything. Give yourself a schedule where you set specific times to study particular subjects. 38 Besides, change subjects every two hours. A little variety keeps you refreshed and focused.
39 If you find yourself distracted from studying by thoughts about everything else, spend 5 minutes thinking about them, but then tell yourself studying is your main task now. If you are tired of study, step away. A short break helps refresh you so that you can stay focused when you come back to studying.
Go off the electronic devices. Texting, social media, calls and other distractions that come from our electronic devices are some of the biggest barriers to staying focused when studying. 40 Turn off the distracting electronic devices!
A. Give yourself a brief study break.
B. Go out for a picnic to refresh yourself.
C. The following tips may give you a hand.
D. Luckily, the fix is easy and totally within your control.
E. It's no doubt that a library is the best place for studying well.
F. This makes studying seem less difficult, helping you stay on task.
G. The most important thing is that the location motivates you to study.

For the most part, Hank, a two-year-old cat, is a homebody- and for good reason. But on November 6th, Bushong, his owner, spotted Hank resting on a branch near the top of a neighbor's tree.
Bushong believed Hank got frightened by some dogs. The more scared he got, the higher he climbed. "Cats have an amazing ability to climb up trees, but they aren't that good at climbing down," said Dan D'Eramo, director of field services for the Humane Rescue Alliance（HRA）.
Bushong then asked the HRA to help, but it was no easy task. HRA called the fire department, but it refused to help because of safety concerns. Then Bushong called a construction company to ask about renting scaffolding（脚手架）but was told she would have to book the equipment 48 days in advance. Next she reached out to a local tree company, Casey Trees. But the crew said it wasn't safe for a person to go up into the tree. Bushong became very sad.
Then neighbors came to help. Ed Baptiste, whose tree Hank had climbed, let Bushong sit in his backyard and called to Hank. Another neighbor donated a can of fish, hoping it might attract the cat to come down. Nearby dog owners took their pets on walks instead of letting them out in their yards to avoid further frightening Hank. Another neighbor suggested Bushong call a local business, which had a tall ladder. Unfortunately, their 42-foot ladder proved too short.
By day five, nothing had worked. That's when another neighbor suggested creating a pulley（滑轮）system by throwing a sandbag attached to the rope to a branch higher than Hank. It will form a pulley system as the sandbag hangs down by gravity. Then raise a basket with some of the owners' personal items. The cat may be attracted by the familiar scents and climb into the basket.

1. 续写词数应为 150 左右:

M: Yes. I actually ran marathons when I was in college. I trained a lot for the marathons. But then two weeks before my big race, I injured my knees during training. My doctor suggested I stop running. I followed his advice. But I still wanted to exercise, so I began to cycle.
W: So you hadn't run ever since?
M: Yes. But after I began to run again with my son, I found I still love running. So I'll run more in future. So do you love running?
W: Not really. But I usually play tennis with my friends in my spare time. And sometimes I go swimming. So when will your son's race take place?
M: On May 10th. It's just a week's time away.

【原文】W: What kind of house shall we rent?
M: It should be close to our office building. You know we couldn't adapt to getting up early and the closer it is, the later we can get up.
W: Yes. That is the most important thing to consider.
M: How about the size?
W: I am not too worried about the size as long as there is enough sunlight in the bedroom. Do you mind if it is in a noisy area?
M: I don't mind. I am not a light sleeper, but a quiet area is better, for we can do our research at home.
W: OK, let's pay more attention to the newspapers.
M: If we are lucky, we will find a flat in the next few days. By the way, how much do you think the rent will be?
W: I have consulted the house agent about the price. He said it would be about two hundred pounds a month.
M: Oh, I think the price is reasonable and acceptable.
W: I think so. How I wish we could find an ideal flat quickly, because our present house is due.

（现在, 人类和狗之间的密切社会联系已经建立, 但研究人员对狗是否以及如何理解人类意图的了解有限。为了观察宠物狗是否能区分陌生人的故意和意外行为, 奥地利维也纳兽医大学的ChristophVölter和他的同事对人类提供狗粮进行了测试, 同时使用八台摄像机跟踪动物的身体运动）可知, Volter的研究目的是检测狗是否理解人类的意图。故选D项。
