21、Last week a senior high school student named Sam wrote to me, “I have felt down lately. I am on my school basketball team, and for a long time was the best player. 【1】 Now, when he is praised by teachers and classmates, I get upset and feel jealous. What should I do?”

The following is my advice to him:

【2】 But unfortunately, that feeling is rarely permanent. There will always be someone out there who is just a little better than you. And the same goes for that person. You can use this motivation to keep working hard and get back on top.

As an athlete, I’m sure you are familiar with competition. Having a healthy competitive spirit is what motivates people to constantly try to be better. 【3】

Further more, as a team member, you must be aware that a teammate’s victory is also yours. Your role on a team is not to outshine everyone you play with. It’s to work together to be successful.

Working as a team means celebrating victories and facing losses together. I am sure this is much harder than it sounds. But try as hard as you can to brush it off and work harder. It is not just related to your own athletic skills, but all of the characteristics that make someone a strong leader. 【4】 You should be the person that holds others up when it’s their turn.

It isn’t easy to simply ignore the feeling of jealousy. 【5】 But remember that you can be that person that people look up to on and off the court by being a good leader and accepting when maybe that means being second best.

A．It is quite a normal feeling.

B．It feels great to have others admire us.

C．Team spirit has been attached much importance to.

D．Your team can put on a good show in a competition.

E．These include perseverance, empathy and selflessness.

F．However, I lost this title to another team member recently.

G．Sure, it comes with the risk of failure, but most things that are worth pursuing do.

22、   Alibaba Cloud and the Hangzhou city government announced the launch of ET City Brain 2.0, a cloud—powered and Al-driven urban traffic-management system that aims to increase the city’s efficiency.

After over two years of testing in Alibaba’s home base, ET City Brain has become the new infrastructure (基础设施) for Hangzhou, with a total coverage of 420 square kilometers in area, including over 1,300 traffic lights. Over 200 traffic officers are connected via mobile phones, enabling them to receive real-time alerts on any traffic-related emergencies.

In version 2.0, the system will optimize the city’s firefighting abilities by providing key information to firefighters, such as water pressure, the number and position of fire hydrants (消防栓) in a given area, the location of gas pipes and other details they need to know. The information is instant, making the entire firefighting process faster, safer and more accurate.

City Brain gives meaning to data. By using AI and advanced algorithms (计算程序), City Brain is able to analyze a large amount of data and turn them into useful information in real-time speed.

As a result of City Brain’s ability to predict traffic flow, detect accidents and provide instant feedback, Hangzhou has dropped from 5th to the 57th on the list of China’s most congested cities. Hangzhou is probably the only city that can tell you how many cars are on the street at any given time.

In the case of medical emergencies, City Brain is able to change traffic lights, so emergency vehicles like ambulances and fire trucks can head to the scene without interruption, accelerating their arrival time by 49%.

Dr. Wang Jian, the head of Alibaba’s Technology Steering Committee who invented the term “City Brain”, said the system is designed to empower a city to act quickly and directly. It is more than just about traffic management. It’s really about how to make city more livable at a time of shrinking natural resources around the globe. “It is a matter of sustainability, while using as little natural resources as possible,” Wang said, “This is just the beginning.”

【1】What benefit will ET City Brain bring?

A. Lower crime rates.

B. Efficient government.

C. Less traffic congestion.

D. Improved medical care.

【2】Which of the following functions of the city Brain is NOT mentioned in the text?

A. Predicting traffic flow.

B. Giving quick feedback.

C. Changing traffic lights.

D. Handling traffic accidents.

【3】Which of the following best explains “optimize” in paragraph 3?

A. Better. B. Practise.

C. Operate. D. Emphasize.

【4】What can we conclude from the last paragraph?

A. ET City Brain 2.0 is a mature version.

B. Alibaba targets environmentally-friendly development.

C. The government is devoted to improving the system.

D. The system can solve the problem of lack of resources.

23、Brown rice is a tough sale when offered next to white. Despite the fact that brown rice is healthier, people prefer white rice because they think it just tastes better, just like folks opt for white bread instead of whole wheat. White rice and brown rice begin as the same thing—they come from the same grain, after all. But white rice is different from brown rice in terms of processing.

When rice is first harvested, it is washed, and the outer covering is removed from the grains. At this point, what you’re left with is brown rice. It still has several thin layers of bran coating the grain. To get white rice from that grain, it also has to be milled and polished down, removing the bran. That is why brown rice is a whole grain. It contains all parts of the grain, including the fibrous bran, the nutritious germ and endosperm. White rice has had the bran, the germ, much of the fiber, vitamins and other nutrients removed.

One cup of cooked brown rice contains 4 g of fiber and 5 g of protein, while one cup of cooked white rice contains only 1 g of fiber and 4 g of protein. But fiber isn’t the only benefit of brown rice. Studies have found that it can reduce the risk of diabetes.

One of the reasons white rice has soared in popularity is that it’s easier to cook. Not only does it take less time because the fibrous bran has been removed, but it turns out with a soft, delicious result more often than not. What makes brown rice so hard to prepare is the fact that you have to cook it long enough to soften the bran, but not so long that the inner grain turns mushy. This is tricky, but it’s not impossible. There are many foolproof methods you can use. One is to get a rice cooker, but if you’re not up for another appliance on your kitchen counter, there are other options.

【1】How does the author lead in the topic of the text?

A．By making a comparison.

B．By quoting a proverb.

C．By using imagination.

D．By listing data.

【2】Which of the following is a difference between white rice and brown rice?

A．White rice is thicker.

B．Brown rice has better taste.

C．Brown rice is less processed.

D．White rice contains more vitamins.

【3】What makes white rice easier to cook compared to brown rice?

A．Having no bran.

B．Containing more fiber.

C．Having no endosperm.

D．Containing more protein.

【4】What is the author’s attitude to eating brown rice?

A．Doubtful.

B．Supportive.

C．Tolerant.

D．Curious.

24、If you have tried chatting with ChatGPT lately, you have probably been met with an “at capacity” error message at some point. The chatbot’s sudden huge popularity can make accessing the service pretty tricky. And while it’s fun to chat with the AI or even get it to write essays or take exams, some people want guaranteed access so they can use the chatbot for professional purposes.

Earlier this month, OpenAI announced that it may soon start offering a paid-for version of ChatGPT with an option called ChatGPT Professional. A waitlist that OpenAI posted to the server detailed what pro users might expect.

The professional offering, which OpenAI described as “experimental”, will be “always available,” offer “fast responses from ChatGPT,” and would provide “as many messages as you need.” The waitlist also noted that, if selected, OpenAI would reach out to you individually to set up a payment process and a pilot.

Now it seems like OpenAI has picked its early access users and they are sharing some insights. Zahid Khawaja, an early access user, shared a video on Twitter running a test prompt on the pro version that ran much quicker than the free version the rest of the public has access to. In the video, Khawaja showed his subscription cost, which comes in at $ 42 a month.

How OpenAI decided on $ 42 a month is yet to be revealed-perhaps it’s yet another Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy reference. However, in December Sam Altman, OpenAl’s chief executive said the average cost of each response was in “single-digits cents”, but he admitted it will need to charge the service eventually because of its “eye-watering“ compute costs. A recent agreement with Microsoft, which will see the software giant invest billions in OpenAI over the next few years, will also likely help.

Despite its popularity, ChatGPT isn’t the only AI chatbot on the market. The $ 42 a month price tag is causing some users to seek other alternatives that might be more cost effective and just as efficient.

【1】What does the author think of having access to the service?

A．Not easy.

B．Not good.

C．Not tough.

D．Not slow.

【2】Which of the following isn’t provided in the professional version of ChatGPT?

A．All-time availability.

B．Enough information.

C．Free subscription.

D．Faster response.

【3】Why was the service charged in the end?

A．It is to be revealed next month.

B．It is customers’ requirements.

C．It needs Microsoft’s investment.

D．It needs very high running costs.

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

A．ChatGPT charges the lowest on the market.

B．ChatGPT will lose most of its access users.

C．ChatGPT may lose some targeted customers.

D．ChatGPT is more effective and efficient.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

On February 4, while working on a construction site in Gratiot County, Michigan, Hansen heard terrified screams coming from nearby. He stopped his work and looked up. Standing on the back porch(门廊) of the home next door was a little boy yelling “Help!” while four fierce dogs barked madly in a circle below him.

At first, Hansen thought it was just a dog fight. Then alarm bells went off in his head. “The noises they made sounded like what dogs do when they’re killing something,” he says. His thought proved right when another young boy suddenly popped up in the middle of the dogs, and Hansen watched in horror as they sank in their teeth and threw him across the grass like a small doll.

“He was shirtless and covered in blood, and those dogs were trying to kill him.” says Hansen.

Hansen raced across the grass, jumped the fence, and landed in the neighbor’s yard. He shouted at the dogs, but they ignored him. Then he displayed the most aggression that he could manage, yelling louder until they let go just long enough for Hansen to catch eight-year-old Ethan Nokes around the stomach and bear-hug him. “I couldn’t hold him under his armpits(腋窝), which would have made it easier to run, because they were torn wide open,” says Hansen.

As Hansen dashed across the yard, the dogs bounced on him, biting at Ethan. Hansen rushed onto the steps. So did the dogs. When he reached the top, he pulled on a door; it wouldn’t open. “A dog grabbed Ethan’s foot, and I thought they were going to get him back from me,” he says.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Hansen tried a second door. It sprang open.
