Eager t sample this “yung peple’s first sip f Mutai”, she was curius abut hw her belved cffee tastes with Chinese liqur in it. “The arma f the alchl is very strng and is well blended with the milk,” Lin shared.
The cffee drink, packaged with an icnic Mutai-themed label and cntaining less than 0.5 percent (alchl by vlume) f 53 degrees Mutai, is priced at 38 yuan, althugh cnsumers can get it fr 19 yuan using cupns. In recent years, Mutai has embarked n varius creative campaigns t appeal t yunger custmers, intrducing prducts like Mutai ice cream, scented sachets, and canvas bags. “This creative partnership lets Mutai make its brand yunger,” Li Hnghui, a marketing directr fr drinks. Li als pinted ut that such creative cllabratins （合作） can bring benefits t bth brands. “Thrugh partnerships, brands can share resurces, expand the market, and bring mre diversified and innvative prducts t cnsumers,” Li said.
Hwever, flawed partnerships may lead t negative cnsequences. Take the cllabratin between Chinese cffee chain Manner and French luxury brand Luis Vuittn, fr example.
Cnsumers culd get a free LV canvas bag by buying at least tw bks in the cffee shp. The tw bks wuld cst at least 580 yuan. The campaign was sharply criticized fr the high barrier f entry t receive the gift and many peple dubted whether it was wrth the price. “It’s imprtant t maintain the high quality f the prducts in these partnerships rather than merely generate hype （炒作）,” Li said.

T create is human. Fr the past 300,000 years, we’ve been unique in ur ability t make art, cuisine, and scieties t imagine and create smething new where there was nthing befre. Nw we have cmpany. While yu’re reading this sentence, generative artificial intelligence prgrams are respnding t emails, preparing tax returns, and prviding health advice.
Artificial intelligence has already had a wide impact n ur lives. AIs have been used t price medicine and huses, assemble （组装） cars, determine what ads we see n scial media. But generative AI, which can create whlly nvel cntent, is much newer.
Supprters believe this is just the beginning, that generative AI will change the way we wrk and engage with the wrld, unlck creativity and scientific discveries, and allw human beings t achieve previusly unimaginable gals.
This shift marks the mst imprtant technlgical breakthrugh since scial media. Generative AI tls have been adpted greedily in recent mnths by the public, thanks t prgrams like ChatGPT, which respnds t virtually any questin, and Dall-E, which allws yu t prduce any image yu dream up. In January, ChatGPT reached 100 millin mnthly users.
This craze caught ff guard many tech cmpanies and has stimulated an intense race in Silicn Valley. In weeks, Micrsft and Ggle have shifted their entire crprate strategies t seize cntrl f what they believe prfitable. Micrsft is investing $10 billin in Open AI, creatr f ChatGPT and Dall-E, and annunced plans t integrate generative AI int its Office sftware and search engine. Ggle declared a “cde red” crprate emergency in respnse t the success f ChatGPT and rushed its wn search-riented chatbt t market.
But this gld rush culd als prve disastrus. In a winner-takes-all battle fr pwer, these cmpanies risk repeating past mistakes, such as priritizing grwth ver safety. While there are many ptentially gd aspects f these new technlgies, even tls designed fr gd can have unfreseen I and ruinus cnsequences. This is the stry f hw the gld rush began—and what histry tells us abut what culd happen next.
28. Which f the fllwing is the particular functin f generative AI?
A. Price gds.B. Build vehicles.
C. Decide ads n scial media.D. Offer health suggestins.
29. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. The functins f generative AI.B. The prgrams f generative AI.
C. Peple’s interest in generative AI.D. Cmpanies’ investment in generative AI.
30. What des Micrsft plan t d?
A. Shift its fcus t Office sftware.B. Invest in anther generative AI start-up.
C. Integrate its search engine int Office sftware.D. Cmbine generative AI with its existing prducts.
3. Why des the authr mentin the gld rush in the last paragraph?
A. T emphasize the imprtance f histry.B. T advcate the use f new technlgies.
C. T pat ff the develpment f generative AI.D. T warn f the ptential danger f generative AI.

In the cming decade, space agencies and private space cmpanies like SpaceX are planning t build a base n the Mn and Mars. While scientists are already building rckets fr the jurney, fr lng-term human settlements n them, astrnaut s will need fuel t carry ut daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrgen （氢）. But a grup f scientists is wrking n turning CO2 in the atmsphere int jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high cncentratin f C02, it may be a feasible slutin.
Fr nw the team f scientists at the University f Oxfrd is fcusing n making jet fuel fr the aviatin （航空） industry. As the aviatin industry releases ver 900 millin tns f CO2 every year, t battle climate change, it is necessary t turn the tide. S far aviatin scientists have tried t use ther energy resurces like electricity t fly. But such flights are limited t shrt distances. Fr lng-distance flights, there is n alternative yet.
The cncept f turning CO2 int jet fuel is nt new. Previusly, ther similar methds had t rely n expensive catalysts （催化剂） like cbalt t speed up the chemical reactin. But what Oxfrd scientists suggest is adding a cheap irn-based catalyst and hydrgen t turn CO2 int liquid fuel. As the prcess wuld nαrequire using fssil fuel, it will make the industry carbn neutral （碳中和的）.
The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300℃ and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire prcess tk 20 hurs and turned 38 percent f CO2 int new chemicals. Abut 48 percent f the chemicals were jet fuel hydrcarbn and the rest were ther by-prducts that are used in the prductin f plastic.
Prfessr Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the prject, said the new methd culd be imprved in tw t three years t prduce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, ptentially evlutinary advance. Our visin is that the wrld can see that CO2 cllected can be used as an energy carrier t enable sustainable aviatin.”
32. Which wrd can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Unique.B. Practical.C. Time-tested.D. Qúick.
33. What prblem des the aviatin industry face?
A. It is suffering frm a serius fuel shrtage.
B. The traditinal jet fuel is much t expensive.
C. Climate change partly disturbs lng-distance flights,
D. Its alternative energy resurces are nt pwerful enugh,
34. What d we knw abut the Oxfrd scientists’ methd f fuel-making?
A, It is green and cst-saving.B. It is cmplex and time-cnsuming.
C. It runs tests in natural envirnment.D. It starts with immediate, chemical reactin.
35. What’s the purpse f the authr?
A, t attract peple t explre the space.B. T infrm us f a breakthrugh in fuel research.
C. T warn us the dangers f climate change.D. T encurage us t wrk in the aviatin industry.

The best way t get gd at intrs and endings is t read a lt f them in a wide variety f magazines and newspapers. 40 Yur versin will be different because the subject matter will be different.
All the abve cnsidered, yu are bund t write excellent and impressive articles.

B. Yu will keep yur writing fresh.
C. Beginnings, n the cntrary, can be mre difficult t d well.
D. If yu seize it, the editrs may keep cming back t yu with mre wrk.
E. That means writing a lt f gd beginnings and ends that editrs and readers appreciate.
F. S yu shuld cnclude the piece with a flurish （华丽辞藻）, r a satisfying sense f cmpletin.
G. Whenever yu cme acrss n c that grabs yur attentin, cpy the style in yur wn article.

The cffee drink, packaged with an icnic Mutai-themed label and cntaining less than 0.5 percent (alchl by vlume) f 53 degrees Mutai, is priced at 38 yuan, althugh cnsumers can get it fr 19 yuan using cupns. In recent years, Mutai has embarked n varius creative campaigns t appeal t yunger custmers, intrducing prducts like Mutai ice cream, scented sachets, and canvas bags. “This creative partnership lets Mutai make its brand yunger,” Li Hnghui, a marketing directr fr drinks. Li als pinted ut that such creative cllabratins （合作） can bring benefits t bth brands. “Thrugh partnerships, brands can share resurces, expand the market, and bring mre diversified and innvative prducts t cnsumers,” Li said.
Hwever, flawed partnerships may lead t negative cnsequences. Take the cllabratin between Chinese cffee chain Manner and French luxury brand Luis Vuittn, fr example.
Cnsumers culd get a free LV canvas bag by buying at least tw bks in the cffee shp. The tw bks wuld cst at least 580 yuan. The campaign was sharply criticized fr the high barrier f entry t receive the gift and many peple dubted whether it was wrth the price. “It’s imprtant t maintain the high quality f the prducts in these partnerships rather than merely generate hype （炒作）,” Li said.

T create is human. Fr the past 300,000 years, we’ve been unique in ur ability t make art, cuisine, and scieties t imagine and create smething new where there was nthing befre. Nw we have cmpany. While yu’re reading this sentence, generative artificial intelligence prgrams are respnding t emails, preparing tax returns, and prviding health advice.
Artificial intelligence has already had a wide impact n ur lives. AIs have been used t price medicine and huses, assemble （组装） cars, determine what ads we see n scial media. But generative AI, which can create whlly nvel cntent, is much newer.
Supprters believe this is just the beginning, that generative AI will change the way we wrk and engage with the wrld, unlck creativity and scientific discveries, and allw human beings t achieve previusly unimaginable gals.
This shift marks the mst imprtant technlgical breakthrugh since scial media. Generative AI tls have been adpted greedily in recent mnths by the public, thanks t prgrams like ChatGPT, which respnds t virtually any questin, and Dall-E, which allws yu t prduce any image yu dream up. In January, ChatGPT reached 100 millin mnthly users.
This craze caught ff guard many tech cmpanies and has stimulated an intense race in Silicn Valley. In weeks, Micrsft and Ggle have shifted their entire crprate strategies t seize cntrl f what they believe prfitable. Micrsft is investing $10 billin in Open AI, creatr f ChatGPT and Dall-E, and annunced plans t integrate generative AI int its Office sftware and search engine. Ggle declared a “cde red” crprate emergency in respnse t the success f ChatGPT and rushed its wn search-riented chatbt t market.
But this gld rush culd als prve disastrus. In a winner-takes-all battle fr pwer, these cmpanies risk repeating past mistakes, such as priritizing grwth ver safety. While there are many ptentially gd aspects f these new technlgies, even tls designed fr gd can have unfreseen I and ruinus cnsequences. This is the stry f hw the gld rush began—and what histry tells us abut what culd happen next.
28. Which f the fllwing is the particular functin f generative AI?
A. Price gds.B. Build vehicles.
C. Decide ads n scial media.D. Offer health suggestins.
29. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. The functins f generative AI.B. The prgrams f generative AI.
C. Peple’s interest in generative AI.D. Cmpanies’ investment in generative AI.
30. What des Micrsft plan t d?
A. Shift its fcus t Office sftware.B. Invest in anther generative AI start-up.
C. Integrate its search engine int Office sftware.D. Cmbine generative AI with its existing prducts.
3. Why des the authr mentin the gld rush in the last paragraph?
A. T emphasize the imprtance f histry.B. T advcate the use f new technlgies.
C. T pat ff the develpment f generative AI.D. T warn f the ptential danger f generative AI.

In the cming decade, space agencies and private space cmpanies like SpaceX are planning t build a base n the Mn and Mars. While scientists are already building rckets fr the jurney, fr lng-term human settlements n them, astrnaut s will need fuel t carry ut daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrgen （氢）. But a grup f scientists is wrking n turning CO2 in the atmsphere int jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high cncentratin f C02, it may be a feasible slutin.
Fr nw the team f scientists at the University f Oxfrd is fcusing n making jet fuel fr the aviatin （航空） industry. As the aviatin industry releases ver 900 millin tns f CO2 every year, t battle climate change, it is necessary t turn the tide. S far aviatin scientists have tried t use ther energy resurces like electricity t fly. But such flights are limited t shrt distances. Fr lng-distance flights, there is n alternative yet.
The cncept f turning CO2 int jet fuel is nt new. Previusly, ther similar methds had t rely n expensive catalysts （催化剂） like cbalt t speed up the chemical reactin. But what Oxfrd scientists suggest is adding a cheap irn-based catalyst and hydrgen t turn CO2 int liquid fuel. As the prcess wuld nαrequire using fssil fuel, it will make the industry carbn neutral （碳中和的）.
The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300℃ and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire prcess tk 20 hurs and turned 38 percent f CO2 int new chemicals. Abut 48 percent f the chemicals were jet fuel hydrcarbn and the rest were ther by-prducts that are used in the prductin f plastic.
Prfessr Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the prject, said the new methd culd be imprved in tw t three years t prduce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, ptentially evlutinary advance. Our visin is that the wrld can see that CO2 cllected can be used as an energy carrier t enable sustainable aviatin.”
32. Which wrd can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Unique.B. Practical.C. Time-tested.D. Qúick.
33. What prblem des the aviatin industry face?
A. It is suffering frm a serius fuel shrtage.
B. The traditinal jet fuel is much t expensive.
C. Climate change partly disturbs lng-distance flights,
D. Its alternative energy resurces are nt pwerful enugh,
34. What d we knw abut the Oxfrd scientists’ methd f fuel-making?
A, It is green and cst-saving.B. It is cmplex and time-cnsuming.
C. It runs tests in natural envirnment.D. It starts with immediate, chemical reactin.
35. What’s the purpse f the authr?
A, t attract peple t explre the space.B. T infrm us f a breakthrugh in fuel research.
C. T warn us the dangers f climate change.D. T encurage us t wrk in the aviatin industry.
