25、When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I would make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have the three-day holiday posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers. It was Christmas Eve when I arrived home, and a little snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood, there were lights, all colors, and ornaments (饰品) shining against the green of a pine.

“Where did it come from?” I asked.

“I asked the Gates boy to cut it” my mother said.“ I wouldn’t have had one just for myself, but when in great need...such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon.”

The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Crystal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached out a little awkwardly(难看) at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas.

“It’s not like the one you used to find,” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn’t know where to look for a better one. But I couldn’t be fussy because he had tried his best.”

“Don’t worry,” I told her. “It’s perfect.”

It wasn’t, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect.

A．Soldier and the Christmas Tree

26、Type in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask the robot to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who got over many difficulties to sing among the stars.

This robot writer is called ChatGPT. US company OpenAI developed it. The technology chats in a conversational way, answering questions from the Internet user. It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes.

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). But ChatGPT can produce a well-written one in seconds. Another good thing about it is that if you ask dark, dangerous questions, it will not give you an answer.

However, there are also some issues about ChatGPT. The texts they create are difficult to tell from those made by humans. This causes many problems, such as the copyright (版权) problem. It could also result in many translators and writers losing their jobs or being paid much less, as their skills are no longer something companies need. The tool also makes it easier for students to cheat on homework, which is bad for their development.

It’s too soon to say what kind of influence ChatGPT will have on our lives. Let’s hope that, if we make good use of ChatGPT, it may turn out to be a strong tool!

【1】The cat story in Paragraph 1 was written to ________.

A．show what ChatGPT can do

B．show how robots create stories

C．introduce a series of bedtime stories

D．introduce a cat that wants to go to space

【2】What do we know about ChatGPT?

A．It can only write songs.

B．It can do a lot of work in space.

C．It can give an answer to any question.

D．It can chat with the Internet user.

【3】What does the underlined word “issues” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Mistakes.

B．Worries.

C．Experiences.

D．Suggestions.

【4】What is not mentioned in the passage?

A．The power of ChatGPT.

B．The inventors of ChatGPT.

C．The price of ChatGPT.

D．The problems of ChatGPT.

【5】Which can be the best title for the passage?

A．A Bedtime Story by ChatGPT

B．Superfast Writing Robot ChatGPT

C．Good Things Robots Can Do

D．A Guide to the Use of ChatGPT

27、Pipa is one of the most popular traditional Chinese instruments. It first appeared in the Qin Dynasty in ancient China and has a history of over two thousand years.

The word “Pipa” came from two main skills needed to play the instrument. “Pi” means finger pushing, and “Pa” means finger pulling. In the Tang Dynasty, “Pipa” was used as a general name for all Chinese plucked string instruments (拨弦乐器). At the same time, Pipa was also introduced to other East Asian countries.

As to Pipa music work, most of Chinese people will remind of the classic Pipa work—Shimianmaifu. It’s one of the top ten ancient music works in China. It’s really a piece of great music. Sunny Spring and White Snow is one of the several traditional Chinese pieces for Pipa. It was said that the piece was created by either Shi Kuang from the State of Jin or Liu Juanzi from the State of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period. Now, Sunny Spring and White Snow is also used to describe highbrow (高雅的) art forms such as classical music, painting and literature (文学).

根据短文内容，判断正误（正确“T”，错误“F” ）。

【1】The history of Pipa is less than 2,000 years.

【2】Pipa was introduced to other East Asian countries in the Tang Dynasty.

【3】Shimianmaifu is one of the most famous ancient music works in China.

【4】Sunny Spring and White Snow was created by two people.

【5】This passage is mainly about the process of making Pipa.
