Despite the fact that motherhood has not been easy, Maxi Aubi believes that her son, Gianluca, has taught her much.
Gianluca was born 13 years ago with Angelman Syndrome (天使综合症), a genetic disease. Maxi was never afraid about the fact that she did not know what this condition was about. She had to get out there and face the music. “When he was a newborn baby, he used to cry all day long. He wouldn’t eat or sleep. It was an endless cycle. We ran some tests and doctors told us his progress depended on us. But it was clear that something was wrong with him. So we visited several doctors and ran some other tests until he was five,” she explains.
Despite all of this, Maxi designed a treatment plan for Gianluca. It did not matter what he was suffering from; she believed love was the “medicine” that could cure him. She formed a group of ten people of different ages outside her family who were willing to help Gianluca’s development. These people would come to her house in shifts from 9 AM to 7 PM with only one goal: to show Gianluca that he could achieve whatever he wanted. “We started encouraging him with games. During those two or three years, he learnt how to walk and he made huge progress,” she remembers.
Learning about her child’s diagnosis (诊断) was a starting point for Maxi. To help relieve the pain of parents whose children suffered from the same condition, she created the Association for Parents coping with Angelman Syndrome(APSA)which currently has about a hundred families. Living with these children is very enriching. This is why the association is not only working to provide support and guidance for the families of children with this condition; it also wants to tell people that they can also learn from these children. “We want them to come and experience what we learnt from our children,“ she says.
4. What does the underlined phrase “face the music” in the second paragraph mean?
A. Enjoy the music. B. Finish one’s work.
C. Accept the situation. D. Share the burden.
5. How did Maxi Aubi react to her son’s illness?
A. She was afraid.
B. She felt helpless.
C. She cried a lot about her son’s suffering.
D. She made a treatment plan for her son.
6. The ten people in the group ______ .
A. were Maxi’s relatives and friends
B. helped Gianluca to design a study plan
C. visited Maxi’s house to look after Gianluca in turn
D. were doctors contributing to the treatment of rare diseases
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The association is aimed at win-win results.
B. Parents don’t need to learn from these children.
C. Gianluca made great progress because of love.
D. Developing Angelman Syndrome is personal adversity.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Gianluca患有天使综合征，母亲为他制定了治疗计划。在大家的爱护下，他取得了很大的进步。
【4题详解】
短语猜测题。根据第二段第二句话“ Maxi was never afraid about the fact that she did not know what this condition was about. (Maxi从不害怕她不知道这种情况是怎么回事)”可知，Maxi勇敢的接受了Gianluca 患有天使综合症的事实。所以划线的短语意为“接受现实”。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话“Despite all of this, Maxi designed a treatment plan for Gianluca. (尽管如此，Maxi还是为Gianluca设计了一个治疗方案)”可知，Maxi面对儿子的病情是的反应是为他制定了一个治疗方案。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第四、五句话“She formed a group of ten people of different ages outside her family who were willing to help Gianluca’s development. These people would come to her house in shifts from 9 AM to 7 PM with only one goal: to show Gianluca that he could achieve whatever he wanted.(她组建了一个由10名不同年龄的家庭成员组成的小组，他们愿意帮助Gianluca的发展。这些人会从早上9点到晚上7点轮流来她家，目的只有一个：向Gianluca展示他可以实现他想要的任何目标)”可知，小组的十个人轮流去照顾Gianluca 。故选C
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句到第五句话“To help relieve the pain of parents whose children suffered from the same condition, she created the Association for Parents coping with Angelman Syndrome(APSA)which currently has about a hundred families. Living with these children is very enriching. This is why the association is not only working to provide support and guidance for the families of children with this condition; it also wants to tell people that they can also learn from these children.(为了帮助缓解孩子患有同样疾病的父母的痛苦，她成立了应对天使综合症父母协会，该协会目前有大约100个家庭。和这些孩子一起生活是非常丰富的。这就是为什么该协会不仅致力于为患有这种疾病的儿童的家庭提供支持和指导；它还想告诉人们，他们也可以向这些孩子学习)”可知，Maxi成立的天使综合征父母协会不仅为患有这种疾病的儿童的家庭提供支持和指导，而且也要告诉人们可以向这些孩子学习。由此可推知，该协会旨在实现双赢，让父母和孩子都受益。故选A。
C
Water equals life. This is true for people, animals and plants. And while water is plentiful in some locations, this is not the case all over the world. Now scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) may have developed a way to change that.
The new desalination (脱盐) device produces water actually above the World Health Organization standards, just by pushing a button. There are no filters (过滤器) required, and the device uses electrical power to remove salt and other particles (微粒) — including bacteria and viruses — from the saltwater. This reduces the need for constant maintenance.
Most commercially available portable desalination units use filters that require high-pressure pumps to push the water, which makes them huge in size and less energy efficient. The filterless MIT device will allow it to be used in remote or resource-limited places like small islands, ships, and even for emergency use.
The device took years to develop. After running tests in the lab with water that had different salinity and particles, it was tested at Boston’s Carson Beach. The device produced drinkable water in just half an hour.
The new desalination unit needs less power than a cell phone charger, reported Fast Company, and works using two types of electrical fields to filter the saltwater. But best of all, it is designed to be used by average people and not engineers. In fact, the device only has three buttons, one to power the device, one to start it, and one to stop it.
The researchers are still working on a final design that could use cheaper materials to make it ready by the end of next year. This small but mighty desalination unit may be the key to bringing safe water to a thirsty world.
8. What’s the advantage of the new desalination device?
A. It’s convenient. B. Ifs a lot cheaper.
C. It has improved filters. D. It has a larger output.
9. How is the third paragraph developed?
A. By making comparisons. B. By giving examples.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By listing figures.
10. What does the author think is the most outstanding quality of the new device?
A. It requires much less power.
B. It possesses two electrical fields.
C. It can be easily operated by ordinary people.
D. It is controlled by the same button.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Deeper research finds new contents of seawater
B. Better method improves the quality of drinking water
C. Report shows a world thirsty for safe drinking water
D. New portable device makes seawater drinkable on the way
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款新的即将面市的便携式海水脱盐设备，它操作方便，体积虽小但功能强大，普通人也能使用，可以为我们缺水的世界带来安全可用淡水。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The new desalination (脱盐) device produces water actually above the World Health Organization standards, just by pushing a button.(这种新的海水脱盐装置只需要按下一个按钮，就能产生高于世界卫生组织标准的水)”可知，这个新的脱盐设备的优势是操作非常方便。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Most commercially available portable desalination units use filters that require high-pressure pumps to push the water, which makes them huge in size and less energy efficient. The filterless MIT device will allow it to be used in remote or resource-limited places like small islands, ships, and even for emergency use.(大多数商业上可用的便携式海水脱盐装置使用的过滤器需要高压泵来推动水，这使得它们体积庞大，能源效率较低。这种无过滤器的MIT设备可以在偏远或资源有限的地方使用，比如小岛、船只，甚至是紧急情况下使用)”可知，第三段主要通过对比新的脱盐设备和其他商业上可用的便携式脱盐设备来说明新设备的优势。由此推知，这段是通过对比来发展的。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“But best of all, it is designed to be used by average people and not engineers.(但最重要的是，它是为普通人而不是工程师设计的)”可知，作者认为这个新设备最突出的优点是普通人也可以轻松操作。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了一款新的即将面市的便携式海水脱盐设备，它操作方便，体积虽小但功能强大，普通人也能使用，可以为我们缺水的世界带来安全可用淡水。由此可知，D项“新的便携式设备即将使海水可以饮用”符合文章大意，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。

There’s a new AI bot: ChatGPT, and you’d better pay attention, even if you aren’t into artificial intelligence. The tool is an AI chatbot system that OpenAI released in November 2022 to show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can achieve.
ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models and is fine-tuned (a method of transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning (监督和强化学习).
You can ask ChatGPT anything, like explaining physics, asking for birthday party ideas and getting programming (编程) help. Perhaps it’s not smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative. 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.
ChatGPT is free to use at the moment because it is still in its research phase. But when too many people hop onto the server (服务器), it overloads and can’t process your request. It just means you should try visiting the site at a later time when fewer people are trying to access it. If you want to skip the wait and have reliable access, there is an option for you. As of Feb.1, 2023, OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users to have general access even during peak times. This service does come at a cost of $20 / month.’
However, ChatGPT can not replace Google. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence bot that provides solutions to your questions, but Google is a search engine in which you can search for as much information as possible. ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT?
A. Its language model. B. Its working theory.
C. Its design inspiration. D. Its development process.
13. Why does the author list figures in paragraph 3?
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.
14. What is ChatGPT Plus intended for?
A. Guiding users to experience free services.
B. Allowing net surfers to skip advertisements.
C. Helping researchers detect the failure of the system.
D. Offering consumers priority access during peak hours.
15. What is a limitation of ChatGPT compared with Google?
A. It operates based on limited data.
B. It takes more time to search for solutions.
C. It can only update information at a fixed time.
D. It may provide replies unrelated to the questions.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了ChatGPT的出现，市场反应，并对它的优点及弊端进行分析。
【12题详解】

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。在过去的十年里，生活在北京的希腊摄影师乔治·杜帕斯一直在拍摄这座城市，捕捉它的美丽，并在网上和展览中分享这些照片。
【36题详解】
考查连词。句意：在过去的十年里，他一直在拍摄这座城市，捕捉它的美丽，并在网上和展览中分享这些照片。根据句意和空格后的sharing分析句子可知，sharing和上文的photographing以及capturing是并列关系，所以空格处应该填入并列连词and。故填and。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：“这真正代表了北京——旧与新，完美地融合在一起，”杜帕斯在展示他拍摄的智化寺的照片时说，智化寺是一座精致的明代建筑。根据句意和所给形容词true分析句子可知，空格处应该填入形容词true的副词形式truly作状语，修饰后面的动词represent。故填truly。
【38题详解】
考查时态、固定搭配和主谓一致。句意：它位于现代办公大楼银河SOHO的前面，以编织的桥梁和环环相扣的通道为特色。根据句意和所给动词locate分析句子可知，此处是考查动词locate的用法be located in+地点（坐落于……）；根据句意和后面从句的时态是一般现在时可知，主句也应该用一般现在时；再由主语it可知，谓语动词应该用单数形式。故填is located。
【39题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：北京拥有丰富的历史遗产，自明朝以来一直是中国传统文化的重要中心。根据句意分析句子可知，空格处是该句子的谓语部分，由时间状语since the Ming Dynasty可知，句子应该用现在完成时；再由主语Beijing可知，谓语动词应该用单数形式。故填has been。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：杜帕斯经常在这座城市辉煌的古建筑中迷路。根据句意和所给动词lose以及空格前的get分析句子可知，空格处应该填入形容词lost作表语。故填lost。
【41题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：同时，他也惊叹于这座融合了高端商业和各行业的现代化城市。根据句意和所给动词combine分析句子可知，空格处应该填入combine的非谓语形式作定语，修饰前面的名词city，因为名词city和动词combine之间是主动关系，所以应该用现在分词combining作定语。故填combining。
【42题详解】
考查连接副词。句意：他说：“看到一座快速发展的城市投入如此大的精力来保护它的过去，这是令人着迷的，这就是我决定在这里追求事业的原因。”根据句意分析句子可知，空格后的部分是一个表语从句，空格处应该填入一个连接词引导表语从句，且意义为“为什么”，所以应该用连接副词why。故填why。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：杜帕斯决心在中国继续他的职业生涯，希望成为中国和西方之间的桥梁。根据句意和空格后的单数可数名词bridge分析句子可知，空格处应该填入一个不定冠词，表泛指，因为bridge的发音是辅音音素开头，所以应该用不定冠词a。故填a。
【44题详解】
考查可数名词单复数。句意：展览展示了他关于北京的照片，吸引了希腊和捷克共和国的大量观众。根据句意和所给可数名词display分析句子可知，空格处是该句子的主语，由句中的助动词have可知，句子的主语应该是复数形式displays。故填displays。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：“我现在把北京当成我的家，”他说，“我会继续把中国的照片分享给世界其他地方。”根据句意和句中的动词share分析句子，此处是考查动词share和介词with的搭配：share something with somebody（和某人分享某物）。故填with。

Maria and Peter lived in a coastal city. The greatest pleasure in summer for them was to swim at their local beach after school. But one day they started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters. More often than not, they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach. Worse sill, as they swam in the water, some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when they walked to the shore.
They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste.One weekend,Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach and determined to clean it up. Sweat streamed down from their forehead while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags. To their disappointment, after a day’s hard work, there were still many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water. Going home with aching legs and arms, Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure.
That night over dinner with their parents, the pair ale silently. Noticing their low spirits, Mother asked gently, “You two looked so down. What happened?”Exchanging glances with Peter, Maria replied in a low voice,“It’s those annoying plastic bags. We tried to clean up but it was just impossible.”Understanding the pair’s disappointment, their father patted them on the back and comforted,”Well, it’s really hard for just two of you to fix such a big problem.”“Just two of us.”complained Maria and Peter, looking at each other.Suddenly, an idea lashed through their minds, their eyes shining with excitement.“Yes,that’s the point! We should make more people aware of the problem and encourage them to take action!” the pair said in chorus.

【答案】Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning. Maria and Peter decided to take advantage of the Internet. “Maybe we can write an article to arouse people's awareness.” Maria proposed. “Good idea! We can also make a video!" Peter added. The next few hours witnessed their heated discussion and growing confidence in a clean and beautiful coast. The next day, they went to the beach and filmed a short video showing plastic bags lying on the beach and floating in the sea. Peter, who was good at writing, wrote an article talking about the present situation of the beach and asking people to take part in the clean-up.
Excited and nervous, they posted the video and article on WeChat. To their amazement, their post went viral online immediately. Countless comments flooded in saying how heartbroken they were when looking at the polluted beach and ocean. What amazed Maria and Peter more was that numerous people in their community, encouraged by their efforts, offered to join in their clean-up. More and more people came to the beach to collect plastic bags and they also appealed to others to avoid throwing or using plastic bags. A year later, with their joint and continuous effort, the coast regained its beauty and Maria and Peter regained their long-awaited pleasure.
