21、American college students are becoming more adventuresome as they study abroad, showing less interests in English-speaking destinations such as Great Britain and Australia and more in such countries as China, India, Argentina and Brazil.
Britain remained the most popular study destination in 2005, according to annual figures from the Institute of International Education, followed by Italy, Spain and France. But the number of American students studying in Britain and Australia descended a little, even as the number of American students abroad rose by 8%. The growth came in non-English speaking European countries and in Asia. China is now the eighth most popular destination for American students, attracting nearly 6,400 in 2005, up 35% from the number of the year before. Argentina and India saw increases of more than 50%.
Allan Goodman, president of the Institute of International Education, said that a range of factors contributed to the trend, from growing awareness of globalization after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, to programs such as former President Bush’s National Security Language Initiative, which trains soldiers, intelligence officers and diplomats in foreign languages. “What Americans are doing is waking up and discovering there’s a world out there,” he said.
Other figures showed the flow of students in the opposite direction, from foreign countries into American universities. The institute found that international enrollment (入学) in American higher education remained steady at about 565,000. The figures are of keen interest to universities, which depend on foreign students for teaching and research help, and to policy-makers, who consider it important, as future foreign leaders may be familiar with the United States. The year of 2005 saw big increases in students from South Korea, Mexico and Taiwan of China. India sends the most students and China is No.2. Other countries that show large percentage increases in the number of students sent to the US include Nepal and Vietnam, while Japan, Turkey and Malaysia saw declines. About 58% of international students in the US come from Asia.
【1】What does the underlined word “descended” in Paragraph 2 means?
A. Changed. B. Declined. C. Multiplied. D. Increased.
【2】Why do more American students study in Asia?
A. They expect to get more teaching and research help.
B. They lose confidence in English-speaking countries.
C. They are afraid that terrorist attacks will happen again.
D. They prefer to explore a different world from their own.
【3】Where were most foreign students in America from in 2005?
A. China. B. India. C. Argentina. D. Britain.
【4】What can we infer from the passage?
A. There were 6,400 American students studying in China in 2005.
B. Chinese students to America will overpass Indians in the future.
C. International enrollment in American higher education changed a lot.
D. Asian students account for a large part of foreign students in America.
22、Often, when you buy a computer, the laptop(手提电脑)bag is overlooked, but it is one of the most valuable things a computer owner can have. Most choose a laptop simply because they want to be able to transport it from place to place. 【1】 The bag not only protects the computer from dirt or damage, it can also be used to carry other laptop parts, such as spare batteries, a computer mouse and any portable equipment you may have.
The first thing to consider when choosing the best laptop bag is what style of bag you may want. The most common styles are the briefcase(公文包)and the backpack. 【2】The briefcase gives a sense of professionalism while the backpack may be easier to carry much of the time.
A laptop bag should have both a computer sleeve along with several separate sections. The sleeve helps keep the laptop from moving too much in the bag. The sections are good for storage of documents and other things you may want to transport along with the computer; 【3】
Another thing when you buy a laptop bag is making sure it is strongly sewed and has a solid bottom. These two things will make your bag much stronger, especially if it is the backpack style.【4】 In some cases, it may just be a few months before a computer owner needs a new one. However if made properly, laptop bags can last five or more years.
【5】 Buying a cloth bag may be a cheaper option, but leather bags are generally made better and are able to stand up to use much better Besides, leather offers a natural barrier to water when the computer is transported through rain or snow.
A.Obviously the former is more important, though.
B.Each one has their own advantages as laptop bags.
C.Materials also make a difference, especially in the briefcase style.
D.But without a good laptop bag, that becomes much more difficult
E.There are lots of choices when it comes to choosing the best laptop bag.
F.This will prevent them rubbing up against the computer and scratching it.
G.Choosing a cheap bag without these could greatly reduce the life of the bag..
23、ChatGPT became the hottest issue due to its ability to produce human-sounding essays, poetry, and screenplays on virtually any subject in seconds. Soon after ChatGPT was released, the potential for it to be misused to do things such as spread misinformation and write junk mails became apparent. Schools and educators also have warned of the potential for students to use it to write essays or other work they have been assigned. Last December, the software passed all three parts of the U.S. Medical Licensing Examination as part of a research experiment.
So the startup, OpenAI behind the viral chatbot, revealed a tool for detecting text generated by artificial intelligence amid growing concerns the technology will be abused by cheaters, junk mail senders and others. OpenAI said that its so-called AI classifier was designed to help people distinguish between text written by a human versus a range of artificial intelligence programs—not just ChatGPT.
OpenAI said it had schools in mind when developing its latest classifier tool. “We recognize that identifying AI-written text has been an important point of discussion among educators, and equally important is recognizing the limits and impacts of AI-generated text classifiers in the classroom,” it said.
The classifier isn’t good enough on its own, though it can be used to go with methods that educators, employers and others rely on to determine the source of a piece of text. In evaluations, the new tool correctly identified 26% of AI-written text as “likely AI-written”, while it also had false positives 9% of the time in which it incorrectly labeled human-written text as AI-written. Another problem is that the tool can’t easily tell if a list of facts—U.S. state capitals for example—was written by a person or AI, because the correct answer would be the same. AI-written text can also be edited to escape the classifier.
“While it is impossible to reliably detect all AI-written text, classifiers like ours can be updated and re-trained based on successful attacks,” OpenAI said. “But it is unclear whether detection has an advantage in the long-term.”
【1】ChatGPT’s passing the U.S. Medical Licensing Exam is mentioned to __________.
A.account for its operating principles
B.illustrate its complex structure
C.emphasize its growing popularity
D.warn against its potential danger
【2】What’s the function of AI classifier?
A.Deepening the impact of AI writers.
B.Identifying the texts generated by AI.
C.Promoting the use of AI in classroom discussion.
D.Arousing educators’ awareness of AI-related technology.
【3】What can be concluded from the evaluation of AI classifier?
A.It is a work-in-progress.
B.It is good at storing factual information.
C.It can help a journalist to edit a text.
D.It is a reliable educational tool.
【4】What does OpenAI think of AI classifier?
A.It will be reliable after continuous self-update and retraining.
B.Whether it can help educators in the long-term is out of question.
C.Whether it can solve the problems as intended remains a question.
D.It will succeed in detecting all human-written texts in the near future.
24、 Lack of sleep among children and teenagers in China has worsened in the past decade, with more than 80 percent getting insufficient sleep on school days, a new report has found.
Chinese youngsters snooze 7. 8 hours a night on average on school days, down 0. 3 hours from 2009, according to the report released on Monday by the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Psychology.
Researchers surveyed more than 15,800 students from Henan, Hebei and Guangdong provinces from April to July, asking what time they go to bed and wake up on days they take offline classes on campus.
Only 46. 4 percent of them sleep for at least 8 hours, compared with 47. 4 percent in 2009.
According to an action plan laying out measures to be taken from 2019 to 2030 to promote the health of citizens, primary school students are recommended to get a minimum of 10 hours of sleep a night. For junior high school and senior high school students, the recommended sleep durations per night are 9 and 8 hours respectively.
By this set of standards, more than 95 percent of students from primary schools, nearly 91 percent at junior high and 84 percent at senior high, did not get enough sleep on school days, heightening the risk of them developing cognitive, mental and physical health problems, the report said.
Hou Jinqin, a researcher at the National Institute of Education Sciences who co-authored the study, suggested local authorities implement measures instructed by the Ministry of Education, such as lessening academic burdens, postponing start times at school and encouraging children to be enrolled at institutions closer to home, in order to prolong sleeping hours.
In terms of the COVID - 19 outbreak's impact on sleep, she said available research overseas shows school closures forced by the COVID - 19 epidemic have added two hours of sleep to young students studying-gat home.
In China, some studies have revealed no marked differences in sleeping patterns of students before and after school reopened, she added.
【1】What does the underlined word "insufficient" in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Unconditional.
B.Inadequate.
C.Untypical.
D.Incalculable.
【2】How many hours of sleep are recommended for pupils?
A.7 -8.
B.8 -9.
C.≥ 9.
D.≥ 10.
【3】Which of the following may Hou Jinqin agree with?
A.Reducing their course load.
B.Starting school a bit earlier.
C.Attending extra — curricular courses.
D.Promoting a new sleeping pattern.
【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce a new study on sleep habits.
B.To advise people to lengthen their sleeping hours.
C.To analyse the reasons why youngsters lack sleep.
D.To propose measures to handle student sleep shortfall.

26、阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写, 使之构成一个完整的故事。
Sedona hiking trails can be fun and relaxing, but sometimes can also be challenging and dangerous.
Rogers, 33, an on-duty airman, was in town from Colorado Springs for adventures on Sedona trails. Even he had just taken a sharp turn on his mountain bike in April 2020 when he was stopped short by the sight of a woman sitting on the side of the trail. She was cute and had long blond hair and big expressive eyes. What he didn’t know then was that she was also in extreme pain.
Sydney Linden, 28, had been jogging down Adobe Jack Trail in Sedona, Arizona, for a picturesque sunset view of the Red Rocks when she hopped over a rock and her leg over extended on the landing. The pain was instant.
Her right leg collapsed and she hit the dirt hard. Linden tried to stand but collapsed. She wasn’t sure if she had torn her ACL (十字韧带), broken her leg, or something else. All she knew was that the pain was a 15 out of 10.
Although it was spring, the Arizona sun beat down relentlessly (无情地). Linden dragged herself to the shade, as if an animal preparing to die. She’d called a friend, but after 30 minutes, her friend was lost. That’s when she saw the mountain biker.
Rogers was trying to play it cool. He casually rode by at a slower speed, stealing a glance at the woman. Sensing her suffering, Rogers stopped and asked if he could help. Linden explained her situation and that’s when he noticed the swelling under her leggings. She needed a hospital-now.
Rogers helped Linden to her feet and they began the steep (陡坡) over the rocky region and desert bushes. It was a long way to go. Leaning on Rogers, Linden tried to hop along, but the pain was severe. She would never make it to the trailhead (登山口) this way.
