01（2022·江苏无锡·模拟预测）Resting my head on Helen’s shoulder, I put my arms round her waist(腰). She drew me to her, and we rested in silence.We had not sat long before another person came in.Some heavy clouds, swept from the sky by a rising wind , had left the moon bright; and her light, comingin through a window near, shone full both on us and on the coming person, Miss Temple.“I came on purpose to find you. Jane Eyre,” said she. “I want you in my room, and as Helen Burns is with you, she may come too.”We followed Miss Temple to her apartment. It had a good fire, and looked cheerful. Miss Temple told Helen Bums to be seated in a low arm-chair on one side of the fire place, and herself taking another, she called me to her side.“Is it all over?” she asked, looking down at my face. “Have you cried your sadness away?”“I am afraid I never shall do that.”“Why?”“Because I have been wrongly accused(指责), and you and everybody else, will now think me a bad girl.”“We shall think you what you prove yourself to be, my child. Continue to act as a good girl, and you will satisfy us.”“Shall I, Miss Temple?”“You will.” said Miss Temple, “You have been accused of lying when you were little. Tell us the truth, but add nothing and exaggerate(夸大)nothing.”I made up my mind that I would be most modest and most correct.

There were flowers everywhere.Dickon and Mary’s seeds（种子）grew and the roses—the roses! From small buds they grew into large flowers and filled the air with their perfume.Colin saw it all. He watched the changes as they happened. Dickon pushed his wheelchair to the garden every morning and he spent the day there. Sometimes Colin sat on the grass watching the insects. One day,he watched a mole（鼹鼠）digging a hole. He learnt a lot of things about the ways of these insects and animals. And Dickon taught him about the animals in the wood.One morning, the children were in the secret garden as usual. When Ben Weatherstaff arrived, Colin said, “Good morning, Ben Weatherstaff. I want you and Dickon and Mary to listen to me because I’m going to tell you something very important.”“Yes, sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff.“I’m going to do a scientific experiment（科学实验）,” he said. “When I grow up, I’m going to make scientific discoveries about magic and I’m going to start with this experiment. Do you understand?”“Yes, sir!” said Ben Weatherstaff, but he didn’t really understand.“I believe that there is magic in everything.” continued Colin. “Dickon knows some magic. He charms animals and people. Mary also knows a bit of magic because she was born in India. There’s magic in the garden, too. I’m going to try and put some in me because I want to be well and strong. I’m going to say—Magic is in me! And you must all say it, too. That is my experiment. Are you going to help, Ben Weatherstaff?”“Yes, sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff.They sat down in a circle. The crow, the fox, the squirrels and the lamb were very curious.“Now, let’s begin,” Colin said, and they all started chanting（吟唱）.“Magic is in me. Magic is in me. Magic is in all of us.”Then Colin stood up and walked round the garden. He went in front with Dickon on one side and Mary on the other. Ben Weatherstaff walked behind.Colin walked a bit then rested. Then he walked again and rested again. At first, he held Dickon’s arm, then he walked a few steps alone.“I can walk! The magic worked!” he cried.“What is the doctor going to say?” asked Mary.“Nothing.” Colin answered, “because we aren’t going to tell him. No one must know that I can walk and run.

He looked at the gold and silver.“The world is tricked by appearances,” he said. “People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold,silver, and jewels. People always agree with those who speak well, even if they say foolish things. Many people who seem brave are really cowards. How often do we believe in leaders who turn out to be bad?” Then Bassanio remembered the story of Midas, the man who loved gold too much. He wanted everything to be gold. He wished that he could make everything gold just by touching it. When he could, it was a disaster. He could not eat his golden food, and he was afraid to touch his daughter.“No, I do not want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver. I will choose the lead box with its ordinary color. It speaks more to me than all the gold and silver in the world. Please give me the key to the lead box. Let happiness be mine.” Bassanio said to himself.One of the servants gave him the key, and he went to the box and opened it. Portia was very pleased. She could not believe it, until Bassanio opened the box and saw the picture of Portia inside it. When he saw the picture, he loved her even more because the picture was very beautiful. He wondered how anyone could paint such a good picture of her. It was almost as beautiful as Portia herself. He looked at all the parts of the picture. He looked at the eyes and the hair and the eyes. All of them were perfect. But Portia herself even more beautiful than her picture.The writing inside the box told him that he had chosen the right box. It said that he should go to Portia and look into her eyes. She would be his wife. Bassanio could not believe it. “Is it really true?” he asked.“Will you really be my wife?

Mr Lorry asked the young lady to sit down.“Miss Manette,” he said. “I have a strange story to tell you, about one of the customers of Tellson’s Bank. That’s where I work.”“About twenty years ago, Mr Manette, a French doctor married an English lady. They had a daughter, but just before she was born, her father disappeared.

Not long after his unhappy wife died, and their daughter was brought back to England.”“I brought you—their daughter from France to England, and Tellson’s Bank has taken care of you since then. You were told that your father had died. But think, Miss Manette. Perhaps your father wasn’t dead. Perhaps he was in prison (监狱). Not because he had done something wrong! But just because he had a powerful enemy—an enemy with the power to send him to prison and to keep him there, hidden and forgotten, for eighteen years!”“Can it be true? Is it possible that my father is still alive?” Lucie Manette looked at Mr Lorry. Her face was white and her hands trembled (颤抖). “It will be his ghost (灵魂)—not him!”“No, Miss Manette,”said Mr Lorry gently. “He is alive, but he has changed very much.

Forests are home to many plants and animals. They also matter to humans in different ways. In China, Tree Planting Day arrives on March 12. It was set up to remind people about the importance of forests.________They enrich the soil. They take in CO2 and give out O2.They provide food They are home to 80 percent of thefor millions of people.world’s animals, plants and insects.Chart ⅠChina’s forest coverage（覆盖率）Chart ⅠChina planted 3.6 million hectares of forest in 2021, according to the National Afforestation Committee （国际造林委员会）. That’s more than double the area of Beijing. The committee called on all adults to plant three to five trees a year. During the past 40 years, volunteers planted nearly 79 billion trees across China. China has become the country with the largest increase in forest resources（资源）and the largest area of planted forests.People are also encouraged to take part in greening projects. Alipay’s Ant Forest is one way to help. Users get “green energy” points through daily actions, and the project will plant real trees for them. More than 600 million Chinese have used this app to live greener lifestyles and help protect the environment. Ant Forest has planted more than 360 million trees in China since 2016.Besides big projects, China also focuses on（专注于）small actions in cities. The committee said China now has more than 20,000 “pocket parks”—mini parks in cities. It has also built more than 80,000 kilometers of green pathways（道路）across the country.Chart ⅠIn the future, China will take more actions to help our environment so that we can reach the goal of achieving carbon neutrality（碳中和）before 2060 successfully.1．Please translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.______________________________________________________________________________________ 2．Please add a subtitle（小标题）in ________ in Chart Ⅰ.（No more than six words.）3．How many percent of China’s forest coverage were increased from 2003 to 2021?______________________________________________________________________________________ 4．How can we get “green energy” points from Ant Forest?（Two examples are OK.）______________________________________________________________________________________ 5．What small actions has China taken to go green?______________________________________________________________________________________ 6．What can you do for our country’s greening projects?______________________________________________________________________________________02（2022·重庆·中考真题）The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics was a great success. China has kept the promise to hold a green Olympics. Many green actions made it possible, like providing environmentally friendly smart beds, using new energy(能源) cars, supporting sporting places with 100% clean energy and reusing rain and snow water.Take making ice as an example. China didn’t use R507, a common material to make ice, because it isn’t friendly enough to the environment. Through 18 months’ hard work, China independently developed the CO₂ direct cooling technology.A net of tubes runs under the ice. High-pressure liquid(液态) CO₂ goes through them to create heat(热) exchange. The CO₂ evaporates(蒸发) under the ice surface. The evaporation takes in heat and turns water on the surface into ice. And the CO₂ goes into another circle. This technology helps to make ice better and faster. And above all, it is much greener because there’s no new CO₂ produced. Among all the 15 ice sporting places in the Winter Olympics, 7 used the CO₂ direct cooling technology to make ice. As a result, much less pollution was caused.Beijing did so much more to save energy. Beijing built the new sporting places with green materials. As for the old ones, Beijing used new glass walls to take the place of traditional walls to let more natural light in. 70% of the waste heat was also reused to keep warm and dry. And a large number of new energy cars were used at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is the first to truly achieve carbon neutrality(碳中和), and it has set new standards in green technologies. Some newspapers say China has set an example for the world in environmental protection and green development.7．How long did it take China to develop the CO₂ direct cooling technology?A．18 months.B．100 weeks.C．15 days.D．7 years.8．The writer writes Para. 3 to show ________.A．why the CO₂ goes into another circleB．how the new ice-making technology helpedC．how sporting places used the new technologyD．why the liquid CO₂ runs through the net of tubes9．According to the passage, we can infer(推断) that ________.A．all the buildings will be built with glass walls in the near futureB．the CO₂ direct cooling technology may be widely used in the worldC．the high-pressure liquid CO₂ will totally take the place of R507 soonD．no new standards in green technologies may be set after the Olympics10．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．A New Green Ice-making TechnologyB．Green Technologies Used in SportsC．A Shared Future of Green DevelopmentD．The Green Beijing Winter Olympics03（2022·内蒙古包头·中考真题）More than 1,000 schools across the UK have signed up（报名）to a project with the aim of helping schools become carbon neutral（碳平衡的）by 2030. Carbon neutral means cutting down carbon emissions（碳排放）to zero or balancing them out in other ways. Carbon emissions are gases such as carbon dioxide（CO2）that come out into the atmosphere, where they make climate change worse. This has also caused the temperature rise.Emissions are caused by all sorts of human activities, such as burning fossil fuels（coal, oil and gas）to make energy, cutting down forests and some types of farming. Becoming carbon neutral includes cutting the amount of carbon emissions a school produces and balancing those that are left by taking some carbonout of the atmosphere.The project also shows how small changes can make a big difference. These might include thinking carefully about energy use, cutting waste, growing food closer to where it's eaten and walking or cycling to school if it is possible. Ways of balancing out the carbon emissions that a school still makes include planting trees and plants that take in CO2 as they grow.Ysgol Bro Dinefwr Secondary School in Wales has promised to run entirely on renewable（可再生的）energy（such as wind and solar power）within the next three years. At Down High School in Northern Ireland, the students are looking after their own bees. So when flowers and crops produce food, that helps. Other schools have projects to cut food waste by weighing it after each meal to know how much is not being eaten. Some put the waste into a system that can turn this waste into useful things. They will be put on the garden to help plants grow.Climate change is seen as a major global challenge. We can see it all around us. So join together, find out ways your school can put efforts to, and talk to a teacher about signing up.11．Which statement would the author most probably agree with?A．Human activities influence the environment.B．The fight against climate change will not succeed.C．More UK schools should be introduced to the world.D．We could deal with the climate change without changing our behavior.12．How could the schools reduce carbon emissions?A．By moving to the countryside.B．By cutting waste and planting trees.C．By providing more spaces for students.D．By burning coal instead of gas to make energy. 13．Why does the author give examples of the schools in paragraph 4?A．To praise these schools.B．To show the difficulties in the project.C．To call for more schools to take action.D．To explain the efforts made by the government. 14．What is the best title for the text?A．How to Help Plants Grow B．Schools Sign Up to Help the PlanetC．Carbon Emissions in the UK Schools D．Our Planet, a Wonderful Living Place04（2022·山东·临沂市河东区教育科学研究与发展中心一模）Climate change is a big problem humansare facing. How can we deal with it? Reducing carbon emissions (碳排放) is important. But what if we could capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and use it to do other things?Recently, SpaceX founder Elon Musk said that his company is working on a new program. It’s going to take CO2 out of the air and turn it into rocket fuel.It will not only be good for Earth, but “will also be important for Mars,” Musk said. The air on Mars is made up of 95 percent CO2. If we could turn CO2 into fuel, we could travel the long journey from Mars back to Earth in the future.The idea may sound strange but it’s not totally crazy. There are already some technologies that might help with this. According to Di-Jia Liu, a chemist at the Argonne National Laboratory in the US, the carbon atoms (原子) in CO2 and the hydrogen (氢) atoms in water can be combined to make methane (甲烷) or ethanol (乙醇). They could be used as fuel. If we do this on Mars, energy from the sun might be used as a catalyst (催化剂).The idea will also make space travel more eco-friendly. “If the CO2-based fuel could be used in a rocket launch, we could prevent 715 tons of CO2 from being put into the air,” said Stafford Sheehan from Air Company, a US company that focuses on CO2 collecting technologies.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

For example,homework for junior high school students should take no longer than90minutes to finish.It allows students more free time to pursue(追求)their hobbies and interests.Also,off-campus tutoring has been further regulated(管理)to reduce the burden on students.“Our homework is clearly less than before,”said13-year-old Shen Yuzhe from Beijing.“We are not encouraged to buy workbooks anymore.The exercises are mainly from the textbook.”According to Shen, teachers have taught at a much slower pace(速度),which gives students enough time to process new information.In December,the Ministry of Education reported on the progress made through the policy so far.

One million plastic drinking bottles are thrown away every minute. What if we could use plastic waste to build roads? This is exactly what Toby McCartney has done.In 2019, McCartney’s UK-based company, MacRebur, built a plastic road in Elgin town, Scotland. The plastic waste was made into grains（颗粒）and then mixed with bitumen(沥青). The road looks just like any other road. But it has improved strength and is more stretchy(有弹性的) thanks to the plastic.“Our technology can not only help solve the problem of plastic waste but also produce roads that deal better with changes in the weather,” McCartney said.McCartney’s idea came from a trip to India. “I saw people in India would put plastic waste into potholes(路面的坑洼) and burn it. The plastic would melt down(熔化) and fill the holes,” said McCartney.“I knew that there must be some correspondences between plastic and bitumen, which both come from oil. That’s how I started to think about mixing them,” he said.After lots of testing, McCartney found the perfect method. And now his company has built many plastic roads around the world. A one-kilometer stretch of road uses about 684, 000 plastic bottles or 1.8 million plastic bags. The road itself can be recycled and the materials can be reused to build new roads.“We’re just a small part of ending the plastic problems, but it’s nice to be part of it,” McCartney said. “I just don’t want my daughters to live in a world where there are more plastics in the ocean than fish.”21．Compared with normal roads, the plastic road _________.a. is not easy to breakb. is fit for hot weatherc. is more stretchyd. costs more moneyA．ab B．ac C．bc D．bd22．________ gave McCartney the idea of building the plastic road.A．Too many changes in the weatherB．His wish to reduce plastic pollutionC．His knowledge of plastic and bitumenD．Indian people’s way of dealing with potholes23．The underlined word “correspondences” in this passage means ________.A．competitions B．connections C．differences D．reasons24．What does McCartney mean in the last paragraph?A．He is ready to offer help in reducing plastic pollution.B．Children should also join to reduce plastic pollution.C．Plastic problems will soon be solved with his help.D．Plastic pollution is becoming more and more serious.25．What is the main idea of the passage?A．To describe how much a kid’s future matters.B．To encourage every company to build a plastic road.C．To help people understand how harmful plastic waste is.D．To tell people plastic waste can be reused to build a road.05（2022·江苏宿迁·三模）Fairfield School is called “the greenest school in Britain” because the pupils and the teachers at the school think it’s very important to look after the environment. ____26____ Growing vegetablesThe pupils in Fairfield School started their own vegetable garden.

There are even laws that do not let people swim in the water. 11-year-old Raphael wants to clean the river. He wants people to swim in the Seine by 2024. That is when the city will host the Olympic Games.Cleaning the river is a big job. Raphael fishes rubbish out of the river. He has done it nearly every weekend for the past two years. He fishes with his dad. They can catch a ton of rubbish in a single day. They have caught anything from phones to scooters. The biggest thing Raphael found was a motorcycle. It was so heavy that it took a team of people to pull it out.Raphael learned about cleaning rivers from YouTube. In 2019, he found a video. People were fishing metal objects out of rivers. They used ropes tied to magnets(磁铁). That Christmas, Raphael asked his parents for supplies. He wanted some ropes, a hook, and a powerful magnet. The magnet was very strong. It could attract metal objects weighing more than a ton.When he began, fishing for metal was just a lazy weekend activity. But Raphael soon saw just how much rubbish there was at the bottom of the river. He wanted to do more. It became like a full-time job,he said.Last October, Raphael won an award for his efforts. He received the Medal of Paris. Raphael is confident about his progress in the last two years. A section of the Seine is clearer than the rest of the river. That is where he first started fishing for metal.Raphael cannot clean the river alone by 2024, but he won’t give up.

One of the high-lights (亮点) of these flower beds was to make good use of garden waste.One of them was in Tian’anmen Square. Its topic was “Wonderful Winter Olympics”. The five Olympic rings and the snowflake shape were at the bottom of the flower bed. To our surprise, all of these were made from garden waste. This could not only save resources but also bring people more beauty. It was generally praised by the public.Green Olympics is one of the four main ideas of Beijing Winter Olympics. It took more than six years to prepare for the Games. In this process, the designers put the idea of green Olympics into every part. They integrated green Olympics with the city and its surroundings (环境). Green Olympics can not only makegood use of waste and protect the environment, but also be good for the future development of the city. There’s no doubt that the Winter Olympics theme flower beds, which showed the “simple, safe and wonderful” requirements for the competition, added points to the unique charm (独特魅力) of the “City of the Two Olympics”.As waste is considered as a resource that is put in a wrong place, the designers made the waste in the right place for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games. Besides, thrift (节俭) and hard work are the tradition of the Chinese nation. We also should save energy and make good use of waste in our daily life.6．What is special about the flower beds?A．The size.B．The number.C．The space.D．The material.7．What is at the bottom of the flower bed in Tian’anmen Square?①Bing Dwen Dwen ②The snowflake shape ③The Olympic flag④The five Olympic ringsA．①②B．②④C．③④D．①③8．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “integrated”?A．改变B．创造C．注意D．融合9．What tone (语气) does the writer use to write this passage？A．boring B．surprising C．serious D．proud10．What is the correct structure of the passage?

The prototype (样本) is made by a Danish company from an extra-strong paper shell that still contains a thin plastic liner (衬垫). But the goal is to create a 100% recyclable, plastic-free bottle capable of preventing gas escaping from carbonated (碳酸) drinks. The barrier must also ensure no fibers get into the liquid.That may have a risk of changing the taste of the drink—or potentially can’t meet the requirements of health and safety checks. But industry giants (巨头) are backing the plan. Coca-Cola, for example, has set agoal of producing zero waste by 2030. Coca-Colawas ranked the world’s number one plastic polluter by charity group Break Free FromPlastic last year, closely followed by other drink-producers Pepsi and Nestle.The Paper Bottle Company, or Paboco, is the Danish firm behind the development of the paper-based container. Part of the challenge has been to create a structure capable of standing the forces produced by carbonated drinks—such as cola and beer—which are bottled under pressure. On top of that, the paper needs to be mouldable to create different bottle shapes and sizes for different brands and take ink for printing their labels.After more than seven years of lab work, the firm is now ready to host a trial in Hungary this summer of Coca-Cola’s fruit drink Adez. At the beginning, this will involve 2,000 bottles sold by a local retail chain.But it is also working with others. Absolutely, the vodka maker, is due to test 2,000 paper bottles of its own in the UK and Sweden of its pre-mixed, carbonated raspberry drink.

01（2023·广东佛山·统考三模）Across the world, humans buy around 1.3 billion single-use plastic bottles a day. However, only about 9% of them are recycled and most of them end up in landfills, the ocean or elsewhere in nature.When beach-loving Madison Checketts noticed that many plastic bottles polluted the sand during her family trip to California, the 12-year-old American girl realized that this needed to be changed. So for her school science project, she decided to focus on reducing plastic litter.During her research, Madison came across a special method of packing water within an eatable material—a gel membrane（凝胶膜）. At that time, the girl got her idea: She would design an eatable water bottle called the Eco-Hero.To carry out her idea, Madison developed the method by doing scientific tests with common food additives （添加剂）. She also learned from previous research on eatable water bottles. Based on thepast research, she improved the method and made her bottles bigger and able to last for a longer time. She found that water, lemon juice and other chemicals could be used together to make a gel bag that wouldn’t break. And the bag could hold up to 3/4 cup of water and could be kept in the fridge for three weeks.“My biggest goal with this project is to help the world,” says the young inventor. She hopes her invention can en courage others to take better care of the planet. “It doesn’t necessarily have to be in a big way,” she adds. “People can make a difference in the world, even if it’s just in a small way.”1．How many plastic bottles are recycled?A．Around 1.3 billion.

Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who clawed his way past many difficulties to sing among the stars.This robot writer is real. It’s called ChatGPT. From writi ng Shakespeare-style poetry to making music, ChatGPT has amazed the world since its launch out in late 2022 by the US company OpenAI. It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes. It’s one of the most powerful AT of its kind, with the complete writing abilities of a real person!People around the world have tried ChatGPT and posted their results on social media. Some used it to write history reports, some asked it to take notes of presentations, and some even asked advice on how to communicate with people at a party, reported The Atlantic.The power of ChatGPT lies in its speed and understanding of complicated(复杂的) matters. We may spend hours researching, understanding and writing an article on the theory of evolution(进化论). Another good thing about it is that if you ask dark, harmful question, such as how to make weapons(武器), it will not give you an answer.ChatGPT comes along at a time when AI is becoming increasingly able to do creative tasks. Thereis no doubt that ChatGPT is a powerful tool. However, some schools in the US, Ausiralia and France have students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the local networks and computers, CNN reported. The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on homework. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread improper information.“It does not build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills,” said Jenna Lyle from the New York City Department of Education. “The materials they create arc difficult to tell from those made by humans. This causes many problems, such as the issue of copyright(版权). Since the system is largely trained using words from the internet, it can also pick up on the Internet’s biases(偏见). These are all the things t hat depend on humans to solve.”11．The cat story was written to ______.A．show what creative work ChatGPT can doB．introduce a cat that wants to go to spaceC．introduce a series of bedtime booksD．show how robots create scientific research12．Paragraph 3 is mainly about ______.A．the disadvantages of ChatGPTB．the most popular report of ChatGPTC．what people think about ChatGPTD．how ChatGPT has helped people so far13．Which sentence should go in the empty box in the fourth paragraph?A．But ChatGPT can write almost anything humans can write.B．But ChatGPT is faster and safer compared with human writing.C．But ChatGPT can produce a well-written one in seconds.D．But ChatGPT is a powerful tool to spread information.14．What’s the main idea of the last paragr aph?A．How people feel about writing in the future.B．What problems A1 writing can cause.C．People’s wrong ideas about AT writing.D．Human efforts in developing A1 writing.04（2023·江苏徐州·校考三模）用括号中所给单词的正确形式填空，使短文完整、通顺。
40 chatGPT-2023年中考英语新热点时文阅读
2023年中考英语新热点时文阅读- chatGPT01（2023·重庆九龙坡·重庆实验外国语学校校考一模）ChatGPT is back in the headlines. Open AI, the company behind the popular chatbot has now introduced a powerful new language model: GPT-4.On March 14, GPT-4 showed the world how smarter it is than the previous GPT- 3.5. One of its best new features is that it can understand pictures. For example, if you show a picture of a phone using the wrong charger, GPT-4 can tell why the picture looks strange or funny.But GPT-4’s developments don’t stop there. The new language model can code classic games like Tetris (俄罗斯方块) in a matter of minutes, and produce the code and layout (布局) for a website based on a handmade drawing. It can also change the tone and style based on what you ask it to do. GPT-4 is much better than the older GPT at passing tests, which may worry teachers. According to CNN, GPT-4 did really well ona law school test, with a score in the top 10 percent of test takers. But GPT-3.5 only got a score in the bottom10 percent.GPT-4 will also see greater use as a tool to power other apps and services. For example, the language leaning app Duolingo plans to use GPT-4 in their upcoming Duolingo Max function (功能). Users can learn language by talking with Al. Another app, Be My Eyes, will have a digital assistant to help blind people better understand the world around them. The government of Iceland also plans to use GPT-4 to protect the Icelandic language.There are still problems with the new language model, however. GPT-4 still struggles to get completely correct answers, especially with newer information after September 2021. GPT-4 also sometimes “hallucinates”, meaning that it will insist that wrong information is true.1．What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A．GPT-3.5 cannot understand pictures.B．GPT-4 can respond in a fun way.C．GPT-4 can tell if a phone is recharging.D．GPT-4 can create funny pictures.2．The underlined phrase “in a matter of minutes” in paragraph 3 shows thatA．games like Tetris are easy to codeB．GPT-4 can code games like Tetris quicklyC．hand-made drawings help GPT 4 work betterD．anyone can code games using GPT-43．What does GPT4 “hallucinates” mean in the text?A．It couldn’t get correct answers before Sept 2021.B．It may not tell the past from the present.C．Its answers are partly right and partly wrong.D．It is unable to decide whether the information is true or not.4．Which of the following is the best way to divide the passage into three parts?A．①/②③④/⑤B．①②/③④/⑤C．①/②③/④⑤D．①/②/③④⑤02（2023·山东泰安·统考一模）ChatGPT, a smart AI chat-bot (聊天机器人) tool, has swept the education world in the past months. According to a US survey of more than 1,000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with a homework assignment.Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT is a powerful tool. You can ask it to write stories and emails, create recipes(食谱), translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions.Some schools in the US, Australia and France have banned (禁止) the use of ChatGPT. In the US, for example, New York City public schools banned students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the district’snetworks and devices(设备).The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on assignments. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread inaccurate (不确定的) information.“It does not build critical-thinking (批判性思维) and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for academic (学术的) and lifelong success,” said Jenna Lyle, the deputy press secretary of the New York City Department of Education.Apart from bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to block the use of ChatGPT. Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones.However, not all educators say “no” to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are drafting (起草) policies on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to completely ban the tool so far.Bhaskar Vira, the headmaster at the University of Cambridge in the UK, said that bans on AI software like ChatGPT are not sensible (明智的). “We have to know that [AI] is a tool people will use,” he told Varsity, the school newspaper of the university. What we need to do is “adapt (调整) our learning, teaching and examinations”. That way, we can “have integrity (诚信) while recognizing the use of the tool”.5．Some schools in the US banned the use of ChatGPT because ________.A．students may use it to cheat on homeworkB．it rarely provides correct informationC．it takes the place of teachersD．it takes up most of the district’s networks6．Jenna Lyle thinks that ________.A．ChatGPT is necessary for academic and lifelong successB．using ChatGPT is not good for developing students’ mindsC．ChatGPT is so far the smartest AI chatbot toolD．ChatGPT might offer the wrong information7．What did the educators in the US do to avoid the use of ChatGPT?a. They blocked students’ access to the tool.b. They learned to recognize papers written by ChatGPT.c. They changed the forms of assignment.d. They suggested laws to ban the use of ChatGPT.A．ab.B．ac.C．bc.D．cd.8．Which opinion is NOT mentioned in the story?A．Using ChatGPT makes students lazy in thinking.B．The complete ban on using ChatGPT is not wise.C．ChatGPT will completely change current education.D．ChatGPT can be useful for both teachers and students.03（2023·山东济南·统考一模）The new and publicly-available ChatGPT is a type of AI that has been “trained” by looking at over 8 million web pages. 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 answers to not only follow-up questions but also professional questions (although it does sometimes make mistakes). You can also ask it to write text, such as short stories or essays. The technology is so promising (有前途的) that some people believe it will overtake(超过) Google in the near future.For many years it has been expected that AI will become an important part of our lives, and for just as long there have been concerns of the trouble that AI could cause. In the 20th century, scientists, philosophers and writers sometimes worried that AI would become too powerful. In the short story I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream,a giant supercomputer has killed every human on earth except five people it keeps to torture(折磨). And in the 1984 film The Terminator, a powerful AI called Skynet uses time travel to send a robot into the past to try and kill the mother of a brave and strong fighter. On the other hand, some people were optimistic of advanced technologies’ potential (潜力) to build a better world. In the 1960s TV show Lost in Space, a family of humans were helped by a friendly robot named Robby.Nowadays, there is less concern of an all-powerful AI trying to destroy the world, and we are not expecting friendly robots just yet. That doesn’t mean there is not a lot of excitement and concern being felt towards new technologies like AI, though. ChatGPT is a great example of a modern technology that is causing mixed feelings.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 are mostly positive. So, what do you think? Will ChatGPT be good, bad, or somewhere in between for humankind?9．Why can ChatGPT produce detailed answers like they are from a human?A．Scientists teach ChatGPT to talk like a human.B．ChatGPT has looked at over 8 million web pages. C．ChatGPT depends on Google’s basic information.D．Many people answer the question on the Internet.10．Which has a positive attitude towards AI??A．Lost in Space B．The TerminatorC．Skynet D．I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream11．What does the underlined word “optimistic” mean in Chinese?A．先进的B．好奇的C．乐观的D．片面的12．Which is NOT true about ChatGPT according to the text?A．ChatGPT can solve math problems.B．ChatGPT can take the place of humankind. C．ChatGPT can communicate with people.D．ChatGPT can offer help in writing essays. 13．What opinion does the writer agree with?A．People are always crazy about new technologies.B．People become more worried about AI at present.C．ChatGPT is a perfect AI technology with no doubt.D．ChatGPT brings people a mixture of joy and worries.04（2023春·江苏南京·九年级南京市第二十九中学校考阶段练习）根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。

It was born from an embryo (胚胎) carried by a surrogate(代孕) mother,” said Wang Jidong, the CEO of Sinogene."Garlic has been verified(证实的) as a cloned cat by a third-party verification organization, and is currently in a good condition."The birth of the kitten is the result of a cloning program that began last August. Chen Dayuan, a researcher from the Institute of Zoology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said the technology developed by the company has a high success rate: one cloned kitten from four implanted surrogates.It’s rare(罕见的) for cats to be successfully cloned, said Shi Zhensheng, a professor from the Veterinary Medicine College at China Agricultural University.

He or she picks up a book, and you feel like you’re holding the book as well. You can shake hands or give your friend a high five, even though you’re apart.A pair of special gloves might make this a reality. Researchers at the University of New South Wales, Australia, have made gloves that can recreate the sense of touch. They call this haptic device（触觉装置）a “soft skin stretch device” (SSD).The SSD works like this: One user’s gloves create 3D force signals when they touch something. The signals are sent to the other user’s gloves, which vibrate（震动）to create the same force that the first user is experiencing. This allows the second user to experience the same sense of touch.The SSD allows you to feel force, vibration and change. “It is like wearing a second skin,” said Thanh Nho Do, one of the researchers who created the gloves.Haptic technology is already being widely used. For example, the track pads（触控板）in laptops use vibration to make it feel like you’re clicking a real mouse. However, it is difficult to recreate the sense of touch in virtual（虚拟的）environments or outside, according to Mai Thanh Thai, lead researcher of the SSDproject. The SSD is special because it has a high level of sensitivity（敏感）even when it is used continuously. This makes it feel more practical.The SSD could be used in medical practice. Two doctors in different places could work together during an operation（手术）—one touches the patient’s organs（器官）with the SSD while the other doctor feels the same sensation（感觉）and completes the operation.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。
