When Charles Foreman opened his store, Everyday Sundae, he had a goal in mind, “My objective is to make a positive impact in my community by treating people like family and remembering them,” he said.With his business slogan,“A place for community,” Foreman’s store has quickly gained a devoted following. Customers visit to enjoy their favorite flavors; artwork and cards from them decorate the walls; and some purchase their paper napkins there to support the store. Foreman has also organized events like storybook readings accompanied by sweet treats for children. What truly sets this business apart is the free ice cream that Foreman generously gives out.“You know when they come in, you can see it. It was natural to notice some of the kids have it and others don’t. So I’m going to sponsor them.” Foreman said as he talked about how he can tell when a visitor wants a treat they can’t afford.“I just want to do some positive things. I believe my community is missing a family-friendly ice cream shop.”One day, Nicole Harkin, one of his regular customers, noticed Foreman give a free ice cream to children without money. For Foreman, this was a constant gesture that had just gone unnoticed, but Harkin reacted with surprise. She came back and handed him an envelope containing 100 dollars. Foreman was so touched by Harkin’s gift that he posted it on Instagram. Foreman and Harkin’s kind behaviors also moved other customers to cover Foreman’s free ice creams for people they didn’t know. Foreman’s ice cream fund has received many donations since then.“When you see people doing their best, you want to do your best,” Foreman said. “Everything is contagious, whether you do something negative or positive. We’re supposed to do all we can to help each other.”4．Why was Charles Foreman’s store so special?A．It provides free goods to the community. B．It offers children ice cream for free.C．It is a place to show creativity. D．It collects donations from others.5．What does Foreman really want to stress in paragraph 3?A．The motive for his generous action. B．The sympathy for those poor children.C．The urge for an ice cream shop. D．The methods to help those in need.6．Which of the following led to a wider donation for his fund?A．A report on his unnoticed gesture. B．An envelope with a letter in it.C．A post of someone’s generous action. D．A game between him and his customer.7．What does the underlined word “contagious” in the last paragraph mean?A．Critical. B．Influential. C．Precious. D．Optimistic. One of the things that we expect from the ocean is is deep blue color that reflects the sky. Scientists at UC San Diego Institution of Oceanography along with scientists at the University of Washington have been experimenting with dyeing (染) the ocean at San Diego beach pink. What could they possibly be up to?This is being done for a study that examines how freshwater outflows are combining with the ocean surf zone. The experiment is called Plumes in Nearshore Conditions (PiNC).“I’m excited because this research hasn’t been done before and it’s a unique experiment,” said Sarah Giddings, a coastal oceanographer leading the study. “The aim is to understand how freshwater interacts with waves, since it is usually warmer than ocean water and more buoyant (有浮力的).”The freshwater is dyed pink so that the team can easily keep track of it when freshwater is added to the seawater. The dye is environmentally friendly and is then spotted as it makes progress in the water. It is tracked by sensors on poles that are located along the sand as well as by drones (无人机). There’s also a jet ski with a fluorometer that tracks the light that is given out from the pink dye. The sensors outside of the surf zone record the height of the waves, ocean currents and temperature. There are three planned dye releases as of now, and researchers are hoping that this pink dye experiment will help them record more about how pollutants travel in the ocean water through these additions of freshwater.Giddings explained: “We’re bringing together different people with different expertise, such that I think it’s going to have some great results and impacts. We’ll combine results from this experiment with an older field study and computer models that will allow us to make progress on understanding how the dyed freshwater spread.”8．What is the purpose of Plumes in Nearshore Conditions?A．To introduce the benefits of dyeing the ocean.B．To study how freshwater combines with seawater.C．To prove that freshwater is much warmer than seawater.D．To examine the impact of freshwater on the ocean surf zone.9．Why is the pink dye used by the team?A．It is easier to be recognized by them.B．It can effectively catch the sunlight.C．It is the only eco-friendly dye.D．It can actively cooperate with sensors.10．Which of the following is expected to record in the experiment?A．The time of ocean currents.B．The power of the waves.C．The change of temperature.D．The travel of pollutants.11．What will researchers probably do next?A．Build more scientific computer models.B．Experiment with dyes of different colors.C．Make a further research into the results.D．Discuss the results with different experts. More people are using ChatGPT to create books for sale. Although sales have so far been slow, human writers are worried that ChatGPT-created books might hurt the writing and publishing industry.Brett Schickler never imagined he could be a published author. After learning about the ChatGPT artificial intelligence program, Brett decided that he had a good chance. Using the AI software, Brett created a 30-pagchildren’s e-book in a few hours. He offered it for sale through Amazon’s self-publishing section and it made Brett less than $100.While that may not sound like much, it’s enough to drive him to create other books using the soft ware Amazon is by far the largest seller of both physical and e-books. It has well over half of the sales in the United States and over 80 percent of the e-book market. There were over 200 e-books in Amazon’s Kindle store as of mid-February that say ChatGPT is a writer or co-writer. And the number is rising daily. But due to the nature of ChatGPT and many writers’ failure to admit that they have used it, it is impossible to get a full count of how man ye-books may be written by AI.Some professional writers are showing their concern. “This is something we really need to know, these books will flood the market and many writers are going to be out of work,” said Mary Rasenberger, the executive director of the Authors Guild, “The ability to create with AI could turn book writing from an art into a commodity (商品).”Not everyone is impressed by the software. Mark Dawson, who has sold millions of copies of books he wrote himself through Kindle Direct Publishing, was quick to call ChatGPT-assisted novels dull. Dawson said that quality is important in the book business.“It plays a part in how books are recommended to other readers. If a book gets bad reviews, it’s quickly going to sink to the bottom12．Why is Brett Schickler mentioned in paragraph 2?A．To share the trick of making a fortune by writingB．To share how to create e-books by using an Al programC．To predict the development of an AI program in the futureD．To show how an Al program helped people with their writing13．What do we know about the e-books in Amazon’s Kindle store?A．Many of them are related to AI topicsB．Many of them are accurately recorded by AIC．Some of them are possibly created by AID．Many of them are more popular than before14．What does Mary Rasenberger worry aboutA．Professional writers’ lack of inspirationB．ChatGPT’s impact on the publishing industryC．Readers’ difficulty in finding their favorite novelsD．Authors’ failure to write good novels without ChatGPT15．What is the main idea of the text?A．ChatGPT might harm original writingB．The impact of ChatGPT is huger than beforeC．Many people rely on ChatGPT to make a livingD．ChatGPT is better than humans in terms of writing  二、七选五It could be said trees naturally call for attention as they climb toward the sky with their arms outstretched. ___16___As we move through our daily life, trees seem to play the role of a backdrop.Trees are beneficial to the quality and health of our lives, our homes, and our planet.

I stood on that huge stage, with my throat dry. As I stared at the audience, I knew this moment could change my life forever. When judges asked my name and I tried to speak,nothing came out. The crowd fell silent, waiting for the words to come. Finally I stuttered(结巴地说) my name and my age. “As you can tell,” I said, “I have a speech disorder…”I’d love to sing and had already signed up for the school talent show in fourth grade when I started stuttering.Fortunately, most of the kids at my school were kind, and I was rarely made fun of. I tried speech therapy too, but it didn’t help. I feared to sing in the school talent show. Therefore, I decided to practice at home. To my surprise, the words came smoothly when I sang. And then I decided to learn to play the guitar, which was given as a birthday gift by my father.One afternoon, I walked into the basement, where I kept my musical equipment. My eyes lit on the guitar. I picked it up and started playing. I opened my mouth, and the words came flooding out. Then I wrote a song called I Will Trust,telling the pain IP’d experienced. The next day, I filmed a video of performing the song and posted it online. Hundreds of strangers left comments that I had uplifted them with my music. Ever since, I’ve been writing songs.Last year, I started college and majored in music production. When I saw Talent Show audition(试唱)announcement pop up on my computer, I wanted to have a try. Several months later, I was standing on that stage, trying to calm my nerves as I introduced myself, “I have a speech impediment.” I said, “It was definitely something that caused me to…” I took a long pause to find the words. “…to hide. But I found that I don’t stutter when I sing.”注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Then I began to sing a new song I’d just written.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________My performance on Talent Show had a deep influence on me.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

There’s no doubt that it has been highly thought of by all the judges.Congratulations to you again. I anticipate that you’ll create more wonderful paintings about China in your spare time.Yours,Li Hua47．One possible version:Then I began to sing a new song I’d just written. I tried to focus on the music, instead of the eyes on me. And just as I’d said, there was no stutter at all. When I finished, the whole crowd was on its feet, and so were the judges. I couldn’t hold back my tears when the judges thought highly of my beautiful voice. For my second performance, I sang another original song. I placed fifth in my round of the finals, with which I was really satisfied.My performance on Talent Show had a deep influence on me. Now, I’m more comfortable putting myself out there, taking the risk that I might get denied. I continue to have difficulty speaking, yet I’m able to speak fluently through my music. I still find myself worrying about the future I can’t control, but I know that I can go as far as possible. I really feel grateful for the hard times I’ve been through and the struggles I’ve endured, which are what make me who I am.
