24、ChatGPT, a smart AI chatbot (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 their homework.

Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT is a powerful tool. You can ask it to write stories and e-mails, 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’s networks and devices (设备).

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 inaccurate (不准确的) 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, pro-vice-chancellor (副校长) for education 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 our learning, teaching and examinations”. That way, we can “have integrity (诚信) while recognizing the use of the tool”.

【1】Some schools in the US banned the use of ChatGPT because ________.

A．students may use it to cheat on homework

B．it hardly provides correct information

C．it takes the place of teachers

【2】Jenna Lyle thinks that ________.

A．ChatGPT is necessary for academic and lifelong success

B．using ChatGPT is not good for developing students’ minds

C．ChatGPT is so far the smartest AI chatbot tool

【3】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

【4】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 education.

25、阅读下面的短文，判断下列句子是否与短文内容相符，符合的写（A），不符合的写（B）。

One of my favorite memories of summer in my hometown is going to art fairs. Local artists come together to sell their things in one place. They are sometimes called flea markets (跳蚤市场).        

In fact, you can find more than just paintings at these fairs. Some people sell handmade furniture (家具), while others might sell other homemade things, such as candles or spices for cooking. Art fairs are usually held outdoors. Each seller has their things in their own tent. You can eat snacks as you go from tent to tent, choosing which ones you might want to take home.

It’s fun to see the different kinds of things that people have made themselves. And it feels good to support people by buying their creations. Art fairs are a good place to learn more about art, meet interesting people and buy fun things.

【1】I enjoy going to art fairs in my hometown.

【2】Artists from different places go to art fairs in summer.

【3】People sell things made by themselves.

【4】It’s a good idea to take some snacks home.

【5】Art fairs are a good place to make friends with artists.

26、Do you like traditional Chinese operas(戏剧)? Among all traditional Chinese operas, facial mask(脸谱) in Peking Opera is popular around the world. Different colors are used to show different roles, but at first, only three colors were used: red, white and black. Here are the meanings of them.

Red is generally used to show that a role is honest and loyal. In fact, the color red was just to show what a person looks like in the beginning. Because many roles use red and black to show they’re very brave and honest, red gradually has another meaning. An example of “red full face” is Guan Yu, known for his loyalty to Liu Bei.

The role with the white face is bad in human nature. This kind of roles includes Cao Cao in the time of the Three Kingdoms, and Qin Hui, who put the national hero Yue Fei to death. The black mask shows either a rude and brave person or a fair and selfless one. Li Kui of Water Margin, and Bao Zheng are of this kind.

Later, other colors are gradually added to them, such as yellow standing for bravery, blue for someone with a strong personality. People can clearly tell the difference through these colors.

Nowadays, more and more young people like to know Peking Opera. Even some schools start to teach Peking Opera. And more and more people know that different colors mean different things. It is a good way to study and spread our traditional culture.

【1】Red usually means ________ in Chinese operas.

A．honest and loyal

B．brave and honest

C．strong and brave

D．smart and honest

【2】The underlined word “loyalty” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________．

A．诚实

B．忠诚

C．勇敢

D．无私

【3】What does the black face stand for in Peking Opera?

A．Neither brave nor honest.

B．Not only brave, but also honest.

C．Either rude and fair or brave and loyal.

D．Either rude and brave or fair and selfless.

【4】The structure of the passage may be ________.

A．

B．

C．

28、How do you feel about your looks? Is it important 【1】 have a beautiful face? Are there other things that can make a person special? The way you look is special.

Sometimes, we might feel bad about looking different. We might feel like we look ugly or strange. But our differences are what make us special.

But what Hoge did changed his mother's mind little by little. He sometimes 【4】 made fun of by strangers. But he didn't care about it 【5】 all. He decided to accept his face and feel confident.

It's hard when you feel you don't look "normal" or "perfect". But the truth is, no one is perfect. The important thing to remember is that you are special, no matter what you look like.

I learned early that crying out in disagreement could finish things. My older brothers and sister would sometimes come in from school and ________ a biscuit with butter or something. My mother impatiently(不耐烦地), would tell them no. But I would cry out and make a big noise until I got what I wanted. I remember well how my mother asked me why I couldn’t be a nice boy like Wilfred.
