"The past winter season I have put some Chinese elements （元素）in my performance，" Liu told reporters after the win. "I am happy to win but I am also here to learn and communicate."A Young Speed Skater18﹣year﹣old Jordan Stolz became the youngest person ever to win a world speed skatinggold medal.As the weekend went on，he won two other gold medals.By the time he was in fifth grade，Stolz was winning national championships.In high school，he went to school online so that he could train for up to six hours a day.In February，2023，Stolz won four gold medals.The medals were for 500﹣meter，1000﹣meter，and 5000﹣meter races，and the team sprint （短跑）.An American SpeedcuberStanley Chapel，one of the world's fastest "speedcubers"，who can quickly solve a Rubik's Cube （魔方）.He also is a skilled violinist.Stanley says the two fields go hand in hand.Not only does Chapel say he has equal interest in both，but the 21 ﹣year ﹣old boy says the violin helps him succeed in speed cubing.At the 2019 world cube championship，the recent high school graduate won both events.（1）In which section of the newspaper can we read the news？ .A.PEOPLEB.BOOKSC.BIG EVENTSD.FUN GAMES（2）China's 17﹣year﹣old Liu Qingyi .A.is sure to attend 2024 Summer Olympic GamesB.adds Chinese elements into her performanceC.never communicates with othersD.could always win（3）Jordan Stolz .A.has won several gold medals so farB.was trained 8 hours a day in high schoolC.went to school online in the 5th gradeD.took part in 2 kinds of races in 2023（4）Stanley Chapel can do the following things EXCEPT .A.play the violinB.solve a Rubik's CubeC.win a championshipD.dance for the people（5）All the news above .A.shows some outstanding young peopleB.tells some stories about sportsC.talks about some big events in the worldD.introduces different players in Olympic Games34．（10分）Roger Federer，a world ﹣famous sports star，quit （放弃）the 2020 Olympic Games to deal with his knee problem.It was a hard decision because no one wanted to be a quitter.But finding the courage to let go can be good for you.★Maybe your heart isn't in playing the piano any more，or you only play football because your friends do and you want to try a different sport instead.Making the decision to walk away can free up time and energy to spend on something you really enjoy.In fact，studies show that letting go of goals you can't reach，or don't really want，can build up your confidence and help you lead a happier and healthier life.But how can you know it's time to stop and move on？Eric Bean is an expert in sports psychology （心理学）who helps athletes and teams understand their feelings.He says，"Quitting never a matter of black and white."

At present, there are no such AI tools or robots. But scientists have been working to improve AI models. Some recent models can create realistic photos from a short written description. Others can recreate anyone’s voice based on a voice recording just a few seconds long.The AI tool that has got the most attention recently is ChatGPT, created by the company OpenAI. When asked a question, ChatGPT answers quickly in perfect sentences. It can make up stories and games, write articles, program computers, and much more. ChatGPT appears to be very intelligent (智能的). But in fact, ChatGPT is simply guessing—based on its traininginformation—which word is most likely to come next, over and over again.In March, OpenAI developed a more powerful model, called GPT-4. GPT-4 can create and explain jokes, and pass tests that are difficult for humans. The rapid progress of recent AI models worries some people. In late March, many computer experts (专家) wrote a letter calling for a six-month pause (暂停) for any work on AI tools.The letter says AI companies race to create smart AI tools that no one can “understand, predict, or...control”. The group beh ind the letter wants governments to develop laws to make sure AI tools are safe.ChatGPT has caused so much excitement that many companies are likely to keep developing smart AI tools. But the letter has sent a strong warning that many people, including leaders will be thinking about carefully.29．What can we know from the first paragraphA．AI models are becoming intelligent.B．Scientists get new ideas from movies.C．Robots will not control the world in the future.D．Things in movies will happen in the real world.30．Which question is not answered in Paragraph 2A．Who created ChatGPT. B．What ChatGPT can do.C．How ChatGPT works. D．When was ChatGPT created. 31．Why did many computer experts write the letterA．They advised people not to use ChatGPT.B．They wanted to explain why GPT-4 was much safer. C．They hoped AI companies could solve real-life problems. D．They warned leaders that AI tools would become dangerous. 32．Which of the following is TRUE .A．GPT-4 can do any work instead of humans.B．Computer experts think ChatGPT is good enough.C．AI companies are racing to develop smart AI tools. D．Scientists are working to create AI tools bigger than GPT-4.
