The recent launch of ChatGPT, a chatbot created by Open AI for public use, has underlined the growing reach of digital technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) in working life. Like most technological revolutions that affect the workplace, chatbots can potentially create winners and losers and will affect both blue-collar and white-collar workers.

ChatGPT is a natural language processing (NLP) tool that allows users to interact with the GPT-3 model using natural language. The model is trained on a great amount of data, which allows it to generate human-like responses to a wide variety of inputs.

This type of AI can greatly benefit the productivity of skilled workers. Chatbots offer the possibility to automate (使自动化) boring and time-consuming tasks, such as writing standardized reports, meeting minutes and emails. Workers could therefore be freed to focus on more important and creative tasks. A chatbot virtual personal assistant could guide skilled workers through different projects or production processes. It can also generate original content and ideas, and potentially help to research and develop new products and services.

But tools such as ChatGPT presents a real risk of skilled and semi-skilled workers losing their jobs. For example, chatbots can be developed to train employees in an organization, resulting in the unemployment of human trainers.

Previous waves of technological change have created both winners and losers. Workers who are quicker to adjust to technological change will win by increasingly taking on tasks complementary (互补的) to AI while giving up automated ones.；

4. This passage centers around the effects of AI like ChatGPT on .

A．life B．entertainment C．sports D．work；

5. Paragraph 2 mainly talks about .

A．what ChatGPT is B．how ChatGPT is used

7. According to the text, faced with technological revolutions, workers had

better .

A．continue ahead with their automated jobs and work harder

B．do other things while keeping up with the automated ones

C．adapt to the change by doing other things to form a good combination with AI

D．give up automated jobs and just learn as much AI knowledge as possible

To deal with a big environmental problem, chemists have been thinking small. Really small. Their new tiny robot has one purpose: to help clean up tiny bits of plastic (塑料的) polluting waterways across the world.

Each new microrobot is no bigger than the tip of a sharpened pencil. They are magnetic (磁的) and shaped like stars. When sunlight hits them, they produce chemical reactions (化学反应) that push them through water in a specific direction. When the y find a piece of plastic, they catch it and start to break it down. When the lights go out, they let go and are free to be used again. In a new study, the scientists reported that these robots can either break down a piece of microplastic or hold onto it to be collected later.

Chemist Martin Pumera at the Czech University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague led the project. He studies ways to build microrobots. He says: “Let’s make them do something useful.”

Pumera chose to center on the problem caused b y microplastics. It’s a big problem. These are tiny bits of plastic, usually no wider than the top of a pencil eraser. And they’re everywhere — from the bottom of the ocean to air blowing onto ice at the top of mountains. They’ve turned up in drinking wate r, both bottled and tap water. Some studies found that too many pieces of plastic end up in the world’s waters. Plastic doesn’t easily degrade (分解) or fall apart. That’s always been one of its study points.

Pumera says his final goal is to make cheap and environmentally-friendly robots that can be used anywhere in the world. He thought that at first they might be most useful in plants that treat wastewater. There they can remove plastic before it reaches open water.

In lab experiments, the star-shaped swimmers catch each of four different types of plastic. And after a week exposed (暴露) to light, the robots had reduced the weight of the plastics. It wasn’t much — only by 3 percent. But that was a sign they were breaking the plastic down.

In fact, Pumera says they still have a long way to go. There are many types of plastics. And even these microrobots are unlikely to succeed in degrading them all.

The researchers also have not yet shown how safe this system is for the environment, although Pumera says that’s t heir next goal. The first real-world test will be in a waste water-treatment plant.；

8. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Microrobots. B．Stars.

C．Pencils. D．Microplastics.；

9. Paragraph 4 is mainly about .

A．the experiment carried out by Pumera

B．the functions that the microrobot holds

C．the places where microplastics usually turn up

D．the reason why Pumera invented the microrobot；

10. According to the passage microrobots .

A．can break down plastics in the dark

B．prove to be most useful in open water

C．do no harm to the environment at present

D．need further testing before they are put into use；

11. What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To encourage people to find more solutions to pollutions.

B．To present a new way of breaking down microplastics.

C．To stress the importance of protecting the water.

D．To explain a serious environmental problem.

Camping is a fun and exciting experience, but to stay organized and safe, you must carefully prepare for the trip.

12 . If it is just you or your family, things will become easier. However, if you are taking a group of friends, you’d better make sure you get insurance information and health information before you start. If someone is injured on the trip, the insurance information will make a huge difference in the care they receive. 13 . For example, for those who are suffering basic diseases, make sure they have enough medicines available.

Then decide how long you will stay and figure out where you will be camping. If you do not know this, you will go through the trouble of purchasing and packing a tent when you were supposed to sleep in a cabin.

14 . The food should be enough for three meals and an optional snack per day, as well as lots of water. Basically, ensure food safety. Foods like dairy products and meat go bad easily. 15 .

At last, gather all of the other things on the “Things You’ll Need" list and try to pack them in a small, lightweight bag. 16 . Materials to deal with burns, cuts, and bumps should be prepared in it.

A．Health information is also important

B．Stay calm when an accident happens

C．Make sure they are fresh and safe to eat

D．And never forget to pack up a first aid kit

E．Firstly, decide with whom you are camping

F．Taking exercise every day is a good way to keep healthy

G．Of course, you’d better pack an appropriate amount of food

17 most TV stations and video-streaming platforms try to attract viewers by producing star-studded(明星荟萃的)reality shows, Henan TV has gone viral(走红)by promoting traditional culture through Chinese dance.

This year, Henan TV produced seven dance pieces 18 (highlight)traditional culture, such as Rhapsody on the Luo River Goddess(《洛神水赋》), a two-minute underwater dance, and Dragon Boat Festival and Guardian Warriors of Longmen(《龙门金刚》), a dance piece 19 (support)by AR technology against the backdrop of the Longmen Grottoes.

Last month, Yao Wei, director of the TV station’s Innovation Center, was invited

to talk about how the TV station 20 (produce)the hit dance pieces at a three-day forum centering on the research of Chinese dance.

The pieces made an emotional impact on audiences, most of 21 are members of Gen Z(people born between 1995 and 2009), Yao said.

“It 22 (be)over forty years since the country’s reform and opening-up and the younger generations have grown up with a more open mindset. With plenty of resources and opportunities, they embrace Chinese culture and are proud of it,” said Yao. “ 23 we need to do is present Chinese culture and tradition in interesting ways for those young people.”

Yao added that Henan TV has been producing shows highlighting traditional culture, such as traditional operas and kung fu, for nearly 30 years.

“ 24 (appeal)to younger audiences, we are also changing our shows. One of the keys is to produce content with strong visual creativity,” Yao said. “For example, the latest technology and unconventional stage settings, like underwater scenes, have become our new ways of telling stories about traditional Chinese culture, rather than simply narrating history with traditional video content.”

Another key to successfully 25 (reach)younger audiences is using social media platforms to promote their shows.

“Social media 26 (shape)and driven by young people. It’s a powerful form of communication. When they take a quick scroll through their phones, they easily become interested in an eye-catching video,” Yao said.

Mice are at their best at night. But a new analysis suggests researchers often test the nightly creatures during the day, which could alter results and create 27 across various studies, if they record time-of-day information 28 . Scientists assume that waking up lab mice in the daytime may twist research.

Of the 200 papers examined in the new study, more than half cither failed to report the timing of behavioral testing or did so 29 . On the contrary, they found only 20

percent reported 30 testing. The analysis was published in Neuroscience & Bio-behavioral Reviews.

West Virginia University neuro-scientist Randy Nelson, the study's lead author, says this is likely a matter of human 31 . “It is easier to get students and schools to work duri ng the day than at night,” Nelson says. But that advantage 32 .

“Time of day not only impacts the intensity of many 33 , including mice activity, aggressiveness of their behavior, and hormone levels,” but changes in those factors can only be 34 during certain parts of the daytime cycle, says University of Wyoming behavioral neuro-scientist William D．Todd. This means that “failing to report time of day of data collection and tests makes 35 of results extremely difficult,” adds Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center staff scientist Natalia Machado. Neither Todd nor Machado was involved in the new study.

36 , the study researchers say it is critical that scientists report the timing of their work and consider the fact that animals' behavioral and physiological responses can 37 with the hour. As a first step, Nelson says, “obviously, taking time-of-day into consideration seems like 38 fruit in terms of line assing behavioral neuroscience research reliability, reproducibility and rigor (严谨性)

University of Calgary psychologist Michael Antle, who was also not involved in the analysis, says such differences in how studies are run 39 a “reproducibility crisis” in science, with other laboratories unable to 40 study results. “Running a study at the wrong time,” he says, “could lead to us completely 41 a finding altogether.”

42. I met the Man of the Trees in summer ten years ago, when I was visiting Uncle Jita.

Those were difficult times. People were cutting down our forest, and there was often flooding. Sometimes our water supply was dirty. When our pump(水泵)did have clean water, we had to wait in line for ages. When the pump wasn’t working, we had to walk five kilometres to the closest stream.

But I was happy. I was going to see my favorite uncle. When the day finally arrived, Dad drove me to Uncle Jita’s house and left. Once he saw me, Uncle Jita announced, “Tomorrow we’re going to explore a magical place. Here is my camera, Amy. You can take photos of what you see.”

The following day, we woke up and left early on a boat. The trip was exciting. But when we got off, there was ... nothing in front of us. “I don’t want to t ake pictures of this,” I complained.

Uncle laughed,“Start walking, Amy. I promise you’ll be surprised.” After some time, I could see the outline of a forest in the distance. A little closer, there was a man waving to us.

“That’s Kabir. The forest you see is his. He planted every single tree.” As we walked towards Kabir, Uncle explained that thirty years ago, the whole area was a wasteland. But one day Kabir decided to change all that and started planting trees. Thanks to him, part of the wasteland is now a paradise(天堂).

Uncle introduced me to Kabir, who had gray hair and a determined face. “Jita told me you like animals. Are you ready to see some?” he asked. “Of course!” I replied. We continued walking and soon were under the trees. I turned my head and was amazed at the difference between the two places. All because of the efforts of one man.

Like Uncle said, Kabir’s forest was magical. We saw deer, rhinos, and even tigers. During lunchtime, Kabir explained how, by planting trees, it was possible to stop the land from eroding(侵蚀).

1.续写词数应为150左右；

42. Hearing this, I turned to my uncle, “I think we can plant trees too.” Grabbing the camera in my hand, I added with excitement. “I’ve got a plan! I’ll show them the photos of Kabir’s magical forest! ” Seeing Uncle and Kabir’s encouraging smile, I immediately set down to my work, busily pressing my shutter and capturing the amazing scenes in the forest. When Uncle and I went back to the village several days later and showed these wonderful pictures to my neighbour, they were stunned by the beauty o f the forest. “It was the trees that turned the place into a paradise! ” We then explained our tree-planting plan to the villagers, which was quickly accepted by all of them.

In the years that followed, people in our village worked hard to carry out our pl an. Instead of cutting down our forest, we started to plant trees, which has eventually helped protect the soil and stopped the land from eroding. Thanks to the trees, the water has been purified and we finally have clean and stable water supply. With our joint efforts, our village is now surrounded by small thriving forests with blooming flowers, lively animals and crystal-clear streams running through. Witnessing the gradual change of our village, we came to realize that only when we live in harmony with nature can we have a brighter future.

What had you better do to have a better understanding of Chester? A．Choose a bus tour. B．Join a guided tour. C．Take a traditional walk. D．Swim down the river. B Walk into any waiting area and you will see people of all ages on the phone. It is rare to see people sitting and simply thinking while waiting for the next part of the day or night. We have also observed people playing with their mobile phones while having dinner with others or in the presence of their families. It seems that everyone is experiencing FOMO (fear of missing out) or a strong addiction to electronic devices. Why do adults, middle school students, and even young children turn to electronics while waiting? A recent study by Hatano et al. (2022) found that in different cultures people underestimate how enjoyable and attractive simply thinking might be. In a series of studies on university students in both Japan and the United Kingdom, the participants rated their level of expected enjoyment and engagement in simply thinking and then rated their actual level of enjoyment and participation in thinking after the waiting period. During the waiting period, the participants only had the option to think. They were not allowed to take electronics into the waiting area. The participants were not necessarily happy about thinking. Instead, they underestimated the benefits related to thinking and thought that thinking was aversive before the waiting period, which only allowed thinking without electronic products. After this waiting period, they admitted that thinking was more interesting and easier than expected. Thinking can include problem-solving, goal-setting, and a variety of other creative tasks. These outcomes can be extremely productive and satisfying. Perhaps it is time for parents and educators to teach chil dren about the importance of paying attention to one’s thoughts. We need to be better role models and put down our own phones when there is an opportunity to simply wait and think. We need to provide these opportunities for both ourselves and our children.； 4. What’s the purpose of the author describing the scene about people’s using electronics? A．To introduce the importance of electronics. B．To tell what bad influences electronics have. C．To voice his views on thinking while waiting. D．To explain why we should have better ways of communication.； 5. What does the underlined word “aversive” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Satisfactory. B．Boring. C．Worried. D．Meaningful.； 6. What should parents and educators do according to the text? A．Provide opportunities for children. B．Pick up the phones while waiting. C．Underestimate the benefits of thinking. D．Tell children about the significance of thinking.； 7. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．Why should we put our phones down? B．How can electronic products affect us? C．How do we think freely by using phones? D．Why does thinking while waiting make people smart? C In the past 30 years, the non-profit organization Friends of Trees planted trees along the streets of Portland, Oregon. Now, a new study shows that each tree planted was connected with significant reductions in non-accidental and cardiovascular (心血管的) mortality (死亡率). Evidence pointing to a connection between exposure to nature and lower mortality is obvious. Between 1990 and 2019, Friends of Trees planted 49,246 street trees. The research team looked at the number of trees planted in a given area in the past 5, 10 or 15 years. They connected this information with mortality due to cardiovascular, respiratory (呼吸的) or non-accidental causes in that same area, using data from the Oregon Health Authority. The results showed that in neighborhoods in which more trees had been planted, mortality rates were lower. This connection was significant for cardiovascular and non-accidental mortality, particularly for males and people over the age of 65.

Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. The animals, to some extent, become tools to us. B. Although violence against zoo animals is often reported, the issue of animal welfare has aroused little attention recently. C. By taking a selfie, you show that you're part of that experience. D. The comparison between caged animals and wild ones are appealing to people. E. Similar incidents are a regular occurrence in natural settings. F. The common factor is that some people are not respecting animal. of a Jaguar (美洲虎) enclosure at Wildlife World Zoo, Arizona. The jaguar ripped into her arm. Bystanders pulled her away before the animal could injure her further. She's fine-so is the jaguar. This isn't the first time a story of a person acting rudely to get close to a wild animal made headlines. Last year, a man jumped into a lion enclosure at a zoo for a close-up photo. Multiple tourists in Yellowstone National Park have been attacked by bison (野牛) when they've gotten too close for a photo. It's common sense not to get close to wild animals that can hurt you. It's why zoos have barriers -sometimes multiple walls-to keep people separated from animals. Signs posted everywhere state the obvious warning. Keep your hands off the cage. "Yet animals have become less real to us," says an environmentalist. We see exotic animals most frequently in managed settings like zoos. People are trying to take advantage of their rarity to show off on social media and ignore their fierceness. Media often normalize interaction with dangerous animals. Seeing a man like "Lion Whisperer" Kevin Richardson regularly play-fight with lions on TV, may send the message that these animals aren't so dangerous after all. Social media are also perfectly positioned to contribute to the rise of animal selfies.

Ida smashed into Louisiana as a Category 4 hurricane, ripping off roofs, knocking out transmission lines, flooding roads, and reducing some brick buildings in downtown New Orleans to rubble. At least eight people died in the storm and the toll is expected to rise as emergency workers search wrecked homes and businesses. One of the most powerful hurricanes to ever hit the U.S. mainland, Ida brought a 5 to 12-foot storm surge that covered low-lying communities in southeastern Louisiana. Grand Isle is now “uninhabitable,” said Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng, with 3 feet of sand covering the entire barrier island and 40 percent of the buildings completely destroyed. The storm caused a citywide blackout in New Orleans, but a Hurricane Katrina-level disaster was avoided there, thanks in part to the $ 14.5 billion spent on new levees, seawalls, and pumps after the 2005 storm. Experts are warning that Ida could worsen the Covid crisis in the Gulf Coast, as residents crowd together in homes and emergency shelters without immediate access to testing or medical care. ICUs in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama hospitals were already near capacity be- fore the storm hit. Nearly 1 million people are still without power across Louisiana, and authorities waned it could be weeks before electricity is restored. “If you have already evacuated,” said Gov. John Bel Edwands, “do not return here.”； 10. Which of the following best describes Hurricane Ida? A．Mild. B．Destructive. C．Uncontrollable. D．Impressive.； 11. What does the underlined words “the toll” mean in Paragraph 1? A．The death number. B．The heat wave.
