She spoke into the microphone（麦克风）in her language and 9 translated her words into Chinese for me to understand. I typed my answer and we were able to communicate 10 !
I soon 11 that she needed to get home, which was not far from here. So I decided to send her back home. As we walked, we laughed and joked, even though we couldn’t understand each other’s language. It was a pretty 12 experience!

It’s a feeling you’ve experienced before. You worry about whether you’ve prepared well, and about the possible failure. The scientists Ramirez and Beilock have found that students can do better in exams if they spend ten minutes writing about their worries before the exams.
In order to make people believe their idea, the two scientists did the experiment（实验）in the lab at first. They asked 20 college students to take a math test. Before the test, half of the students sat quietly and the other half wrote about their feelings on the coming test. They found that the writing group did much better than the students who sat quietly. Their marks were 12% higher.
But did writing really do the trick in our real life?To answer it, the two scientists ran the experiment again before a real exam. This time, they worked with 51 ninth-grade students. The students were required to have a 10-minute writing exercise before the exam. Half of them had to write about their thoughts on the coming exam, while the other half had to write about an unrelated（不相干的）topic. Their final scores showed that if the students wrote about unrelated topics, their scores were lower. If they wrote about their worries, their bad feelings had no influence on their marks.
But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam?Mr. Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
This study has obvious practical effect. The scientists found a simple way of helping the anxious students to perform at their true level. They’ve also shown that the key to controlling our worries is not to push them away, but to face them.
19．According to Paragraph 1, what kind of feeling do students have before exams? ________
A．Worry. B．Happiness. C．Excitement.
20．What can we know about the test in the lab? ________
A．The teacher invited some students to take a writing test.
B．The writing group got higher scores in the test.
C．The students wrote down their feelings after the test.
21．The underlined phrase “do the trick” probably means “________”.
A．work well B．tell a lie C．lower the scores
22．We can infer from Paragraph 4 that ________ .
A．we can only write about cheerful things before an exam
B．the best place to write about our worries is in the text room
C．it doesn’t matter where we write about our worries before an exam
23．What is the text? ________
A．A novel. B．An advertisement. C．A report.

Have you heard of ChatGPT nowadays? 24 When asked a question, ChatGPT uses this training to produce detailed answers that often seem like they were written by a human. You can ask it anything and it will give you an answer. You can also ask it to write a text, such as short stories or plays.
Because ChatGPT is free and easy to use, learning with it seems to be easier. 25 However, with the development of ChatGPT, we know that we are getting information supported by thousands of other web pages. And the information given to us is simple and easy to understand. ChatGPT can help people who have problems in language expressions. People who don’t speak the same language can use it to exchange their thoughts and feelings. 26
But there are also some different voices. For thousands of years, students have been required to find information by using books. With ChatGPT, finding information becomes much easier than using a book. 27 Besides, it could make some people lose their jobs, as their skills are no longer needed.
28 And it’s too soon to say what kind of influence ChatGPT will have on our lives. Let’s hope that, if ChatGPT does become bigger and more popular, its effects can be mostly positive.
A．Will it be good or bad for humankind?
B．In this way, it could be a great tool for bringing the world closer together.
C．It’s a type of AI that has been “trained” by looking at over 8 million web pages.
D．ChatGPT is a great example of a modern technology that is causing mixed feelings.
E．It could make cheating much easier, and make students feel their hard work is useless.
F．When we use search engines such as Baidu, we have to look at web pages one by one.

Tao Yuanming and Henry David Thoreau were both poets, but one lived in Ancient China and the other in 19th century America. Although living in different times, they were well-known for their love for nature.
As an official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tao felt down over life at court (朝廷). In 405, he gave up serving the court. He spent his rest life landing in a poor area. From his poetry, we can learn that although his life was difficult, he chose to find pleasure from the nature. The peaceful life he wrote about is different from the court life.
Unlike, Tao’s return to nature, Thoreau’s was a personal decision that changed the way he lived in. He was born in a rich family, but he wanted to live a simple life. For two years, he lived in a cottage (村舍) in the forest by Walden Lake, focusing on himself and his writing. Thoreau’s descriptions of nature wanted to show the beauty and purity (纯净) of the wild areas around him. His writing aimed to tell us that we should enjoy nature’s gifts.
Both of them made a change to their lives in order to live closer to nature. They gave up easy and rich lives, but their choices led them to discover an easy relationship with nature in the quietness of their lives. In today’s modern world, their ideas about living and getting on well with nature may take us a closer step to achieve dreams and satisfaction.
Living in different ages and nations, Tao Yuanming and Henry David Thoreau were poets. Besides, both of them showed their great 29 for nature that made them famous of their time.
Tired of the court life, Tao decided to return to nature instead of serving as an official. Life was not easy, but Tao could 30 pleasure from nature. Different from Tao, Thoreau lived in the forest just because he wished to live 31 . It was their choices that led them to create so many popular poems. In their works, Tao wrote about his peaceful life while Thoreau stressed to describe the 32 scenery in wild areas.
33 refusing the easy and rich life is difficult, both of them did it and lived quietly. Even in the modern world, their ideas may lead us to achieve dreams and happiness.

March 22 is World Water Day. The theme last year was “groundwater”. We can’t see groundwater. It’s under our feet. But it plays an important role in our lives. About 98 percent of Earth’s fresh water is groundwater. It is 60 times as plentiful as the fresh water in lakes and rivers. On the 31st World Water Day this year, let’s keep focusing on the water resource.
The world’s water moves between lakes, rivers, oceans, the air and the land in a cycle. It is a continuous process, with no beginning or end. The sun heats the water. This changes water into vapor（蒸气）. It is called evaporation, which makes the first step of the Water Cycle. When the water vapor reaches up in the sky, it turns into tiny drops of water. These water drops come together to form clouds. This process is called condensation. When the cloud becomes too heavy and it can’t hold any more water inside, it will give out rain or snow. This is known as precipitation.

Now, more and more countries are facing the problem of water shortage. There are some reasons for this. Firstly, with the population increasing fast, more water is needed. Secondly, climate change makes things worse. There are other reasons for water shortages. For example, water pollution makes it harder to get clean drinking water. Factories and farms don’t use water efficiently.
News
“Dear customer, our city has been facing a serious drought（干旱）. Please try your best to save water. Thanks for your understanding and support.”
In December, 2021, people in Shenzhen, China got this message on their phones. At the same time, water ran more slowly from their taps.
In the face of serious water shortage, we should raise awareness（意识） of protecting water. Meanwhile, we need to take action to save water. Let’s take a look at how Timmy saves water every week. （L=Litre）

34．Why is groundwater important in our lives?
35．In Picture I, the Water Cycle is the movement of water by ①evaporation, ② and ③ .
36．What causes the water shortage?（One reason is OK. ）
37．Why is the news mentioned here?
38．In Picture II, how much water can Timmy save at most if he finishes all the activities every week?
39．What else can you do to save water in your daily life?

46．句意：何素丹去年创作了关于二十四节气的沙画作品。根据下文“sand paintings about the 24 solar terms”（关于二十四节气的沙画作品）可知空白处应填表示“创造”含义的动词，根据时间状语“last year”可知句子表示的是一个发生在过去的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时。故填created。

51．句意：她还非常重视教育，在海南为有特殊需要的孩子们建立了一个沙画中心。根据下文“set up a sand painting center for kids with special needs in Hainan（在海南为有特殊需要的孩子们建立了一个沙画中心）”可知此处上下文说的是有关教育的话题，所以选择动词educate，根据空白处前面的介词to可知空白处应填名词。故填education。
52．句意：她想通过沙画艺术帮助更多的孩子，因为沙子的特殊触感是令人放松的。根据上文“set up a sand painting center for kids with special needs in Hainan”（在海南为有特殊需要的孩子们建立了一个沙画中心）可推理出何素丹想要帮助孩子们，所以将child变为复数children。故填children。
53．句意：她想通过沙画艺术帮助更多的孩子，因为沙子的特殊触感是独令人放松的。根据上文“set up a sand painting center for kids with special needs in Hainan”（创建沙画中心给那些有特殊需要的孩子）可推理出作者认为沙子的触感是很令人放松的，relaxing放松的。故填relaxing。
54．句意：我希望我的沙画能被世界上更多的人看到。根据下文“by more people in the world”（被世界上更多的人）可知此处上下文说的是何素丹希望世界上更多的人看到她的作品，所以选择see。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做宾补且与逻辑主语sand paintings 之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，希望的是未来的事，所以时态为将来时，所以是将来时态的被动语态。故填will be seen。
