26、We' re accustomed to thinking of environmental change, and its effects on our health, as Being measured in years. But researchers are now discovering how quickly and dramatically air quality can improve - and how big an impact those improvements can make.

For instance, when Atlanta hosted the 1996 Olympic Games, parts of the city were closed to cars for 17 days. In the following four weeks, kids' medical visits for lung diseases decreased by more than 40 percent. In 1990, when Hong Kong passed stricter regulations for the content of fuel oil used by power plants and cars, SO2 levels immediately fell by 45 percent on average and as much as 80 percent in the most polluted areas. Within six months, there was a significant decrease in the number of deaths from air related diseases.

In March 2020, when businesses shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic, NO2 levels were about 30 percent lower on average in the northeaster United States than they were in the same month for the years 2015 to 2019. Also, during the month that China was under quarantine(隔离) from February to April because of the pandemic, one study estimated that improved air quality helped to impede more than 12,000 pollution-related deaths. With a recent study showing that the higher PM2.5 is, the more people will die from the COVID-19, measures to improve air quality may be more important than ever before.

【1】The examples in Paragraph 2 are given in order to prove that_________,

A．kids often see doctors

27、A tiny Alaska village has experienced a boom in tourism in recent years as polar bears spend more time on land than on Arctic sea ice.

More than 2,000 people visited the northern Alaska village of Kaktovik in 2018 to see polar bears in the wild. The far north community lies in an area where increasingly higher temperature has sped up the movement of sea ice, the primary habitat (栖息地) of polar bears. As ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond the continental shelf, more bears are remaining on land to look for food.

Polar bears have always been a common sight on sea ice near Kaktovik, but villagers started noticing a change in the mid­1990s. More bears seemed to stay on land, and researchers began taking note of more female bears making homes in the snow on land instead of on the ice to raise their babies. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists began hearing reports of the increasing number of polar bears in the area in the early 2000s. As more attention was given to the plight (困境) of polar bears about a decade ago, more tourists started heading to Kaktovik.

The village had fewer than 50 visitors annually before 2011, said Jennifer Reed, of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. “Today we’re talking about hundreds and hundreds of visitors, many from around the world each year,” Reed said. Most tourists visit in the fall, when bears are forced toward land because sea ice is farthest away from the shore. Bruce Inglangasak, a local hunter who sometimes offers wildlife­ viewing tours, said he's been offering polar bear tours since 2004. Most of his clients (客户) are from China and Europe, as well as from the lower 48 U. S. states. Many tourists stay several days in the village, which has two small hotels. The villagers have benefited a lot from that. In turn, they provide more effective protection for polar bears with financial support from tourism development.

【1】What causes more polar bears to stay on land in Kaktovik?

A．Food shortage.

B．Climate change.

C．Habitats’ movement to shore.

D．Their preference for land.

【2】How did common people feel about more sight of bears on land?

A．Excited.

B．Puzzled.

C．Concerned.

D．Shocked.

【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Hotels in Kaktovik are in demand in autumn.

B．Kaktovik has about 50 visitors annually.

C．Inglangasak makes a living as a tour guide.

D．Tourism affects the balance of nature.

【4】Which saying can describe the text?

A．The fittest can survive.

B．After a storm comes a calm.

C．One man’s fault is another man’s lesson.

D．Every coin has two sides.

28、   Amsterdam,the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands，is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world，famous for its beautiful canals，top art museum，cycling culture，and Red Light District.Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.

Must-See Attractions

Most visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre,which is full of traditional architecture，shopping centers,and coffee shops.You’ll also want to check out Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter in the South District，which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark.The top museums to visit are the Rijksmusuem,the Ann Frank House,and the Van Gogh Museum.The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a popular place for celebrity spotting and nightlife today.

Transportation

Travelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world.This airport is located about 15 kilometers southwest of city center.You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station，which has many connecting routes.It’s typically not a good idea to drive a car to the city center because traffic is heavy and parking is difficult to find.Cycling is incredibly popular here,and it’s easy to find cheap bike rentals around town.Amsterdam has a flat terrain(地形) and is a great city to explore on foot.

Money Saving Tips

Unless you really want to see the tulips(郁金香) blooming，avoid booking between mid-March and mid-May.This is when hotel and flight prices rise.

Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South District，where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center.

Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.

29、From writing Shakespeare-style poetry to making music, ChatGPT has amazed the world since its launch in late 2022 by the US-based company OpenAI. It even passed several law exams in four courses at the University of Minnesota, US, according to CNN.

The AI program can answer questions on a whole host of topics and write essays, stories and any other written texts you can think of. It does this by drawing on information collected from a large corpus (语料库) of text data.

What makes ChatGPT so impressive? As Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAl said in an interview with Forbes, “it's not actually fundamentally new technology that made this (ChatGPT) have a moment.”

According to MIT Technology Review, ChatGPT is based on GPT-3, a large language model. Because texts are more complicated than the meaning of every word combined, language models require a type of neural network(神经网络) that can make sense of texts.

One breakthrough behind today's model is a network called Transformer, which was invented by Google researchers in 2017. The neural network can infer word meanings by tracking where the word appears in a sentence. Transformer can therefore capture the meaning of texts more accurately.

The GPT models built by OpenAI combined Transformer with unsupervised (无人指导的) learning, meaning that the models can learn by themselves without being told what to look at. ChatGPT can now generate human-like responses instantly due to the large scale of texts it learned from.

“One of the biggest problems with ChatGPT is that it comes back, very confidently, with falsities,” Michael Wooldridge at the Alan Turing Institute in London, UK, told The Guardian. This means that ChatGPT doesn’t know the truth about the world — it learns information from various resources but it cannot decide what is true or false.

Some argue that ChatGPT will be used to generate fake news, spread falsities, or be used for ill purposes. As for education, many US schools recently banned students from using ChatGPT on school networks because students began to use it as a shortcut for essays.

【1】How does ChatGPT work?

A．By making complicated texts simpler.

B．By gathering a wide variety of information.

C．By passing several law exams in four courses.

D．By employing its large collection of information.

【2】What makes ChatGPT so amazing?

A．A completely new technology.

B．The ability to track the location of a word.

C．The combination of a network and self-learning.

D．Better understanding of the meaning of every word.

【3】What does the underlined word “falsities” mean in the last but one paragraph?

A．False information.

B．Something new.

C．Various resources.

D．Timely responses.

【4】Why is ChatGPT forbidden in many us schools?

A．Because a ban on it has recently been passed.

B．Because it provides fake news that will mislead students.

C．Because students use it for the purpose of improving their essays.

D．Because with it, students finish their assignments without thinking.
