ChatGPT, designed by OpenAI to carry on conversations just like humans, has become a viral excitement. The AI-powered tool went from zero to a million users in just five days! Its ability to provide in-depth answers to user questions has even drawn the attention of distinguished technology companies.
The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense. Its vast body of knowledge has been gathered from the internet and archived books. It is further trained by humans. This makes ChatGPT a useful tool for researching almost any topic.
“We have a lot of information on the internet, but you normally have to Google it, then read it and then do something with it,” says Ricardo, chief science officer and co-founder of AI company Erudit. “Now you’ll have this resource that can process the whole internet and all of the information it contains for you to answer your question.”
ChatGPT cannot think on its own. It depends on the information that it has been trained on. As a result, the AI tool works well for things that have accurate data available. However, when unsure, ChatGPT can get creative and flow out incorrect responses. OpenAI cautions users to check the information no matter how logical it sounds. Also, ChatGPT has only been trained with information till 2021. Hence, it cannot be relied upon for anything that happened after that.
Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real-world problems. It can translate long texts into different languages, create content on almost any topic, and even summarize books.
However, ChatGPT has received mixed reactions from educators. Some believe it could serve as a valuable tool to help build literacy skills in the classroom. It could also be used to teach students difficult science or math concepts. But other educators think ChatGPT will encourage students to cheat. They fear this will prevent them from building critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As a result, many districts are starting to ban its use in schools.
24. What is the unique feature of ChatGPT
A. It has artificial intelligence. B. It can answer users’ questions.
C. It has the largest number of users. D. It can engage in meaningful conversations.
25. What makes ChatGPT helpful to research various topics
A. Its capability of information processing. B. Its accurate information.
C. Its availability of up-to-date data. D. Its vast body of questions.
26. Why do ChatGPT users have to be cautious when using it
A. ChatGPT is unable to think itself. B. ChatGPT lacks creativity.
C. ChatGPT offers illogical information. D. ChatGPT is not properly trained.
27. What is the author’s attitude towards ChatGPT
A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Objective. D. Intolerant.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能ChatGPT，介绍了其特点、存在的问题以及人们对ChatGPT的看法。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Its ability to provide in-depth answers to user questions has even drawn the attention of distinguished technology companies.(它对用户问题提供深入解答的能力甚至引起了知名科技公司的注意)”以及第二段中“The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense.(这个智能机器人能理解用户所说或键入的内容，然后以合理的方式做出回应)”可知，ChatGPT的独特之处是它可以参与有意义的对话。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense. Its vast body of knowledge has been gathered from the internet and archived books. It is further trained by humans. This makes ChatGPT a useful tool for researching almost any topic.(这个智能机器人能理解用户所说或键入的内容，然后以合理的方式做出回应。它的大量知识来自互联网和存档书籍。它由人类进一步训练。这使得ChatGPT成为研究几乎任何主题的有用工具)”可知，信息处理能力使ChatGPT有助于研究各种主题。故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“ChatGPT cannot think on its own. It depends on the information that it has been trained on. As a result, the AI tool works well for things that have accurate data available. However, when unsure, ChatGPT can get creative and flow out incorrect responses. OpenAI cautions users to check the information no matter how logical it sounds. Also, ChatGPT has only been trained with information till 2021.(ChatGPT不能独立思考。这取决于它所接受的训练信息。因此，人工智能工具可以很好地处理有准确数据的事情。然而，当不确定时，ChatGPT可能会变得有创意，并给出不正确的回答。OpenAI提醒用户，无论这些信息听起来多么符合逻辑，都要检查。此外，ChatGPT的信息培训只进行到2021年)”可知，ChatGPT用户在使用时必须谨慎因为ChatGPT本身无法思考。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“ChatGPT cannot think on its own.(ChatGPT不能独立思考)”；第五段“Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real-world problems. (专家认为ChatGPT在解决现实问题方面具有无限潜力)”以及最后一段“However, ChatGPT has received mixed reactions from educators. (然而，教育工作者对ChatGPT的反应不一)”可推知，作者主要列举了其他人对ChatGPT的看法，没有提到自己对ChatGPT的态度，故对ChatGPT是客观态度。故选C。
C
You dash through a crowded railway station, tripping over bags, spilling (泼出) your coffee, only to have the doors slide shut in your face, leaving you breathless on the platform as the train pulls away.
But at least, if you’re in France, someone may be playing the piano for you. But it won’t be performed by a paid musician, or even a street entertainer playing for coins. It will just be a random passer-by, jamming for the fun of it on one of the pianos that the national railroad company, S. N. C. F., has fixed in nearly 100 stations across France. They are free for anyone to play, and travelers from all walks of life have taken to doing just that.
Gares & Connexions, the S. N. C. F. division that manages its stations, rents the instruments from the producer, Yamaha: which maintains them and tunes them every month or two. The first one was set up in the Gare Montparnasse in Paris in 2012.
The music, mixed with the sounds of shouting passengers, screaming trains and rolling suitcases, gives French stations a special soundscape. The amateur musicians have included Irish soccer fans and even babies. In 2014, Gares & Connexions and Yamaha organized a nationwide contest called Your Turn to Play, asking participants to submit videos of themselves using one of the pianos. It drew nearly 900 entries.
Isn’t the railroad company taking a big chance Apparently not: “None of the instruments has been vandalized to this day, or even merely damaged,” said Claire Foumon, a spokeswoman for Gares & Connexions. “They are shared and respected by all.”
So if you miss a train in Paris; Bordeaux or Marseille one day, perhaps someone will be playing a favorite piece that will ease your pain. Or perhaps you’ll sit down and play your annoyance away yourself.
28. Why did Gares & Connexions fix pianos in railway stations
A. To advertise Yamaha’s products. B. To make stations more attractive.
C. To let travelers have a relaxing trip. D. To help street artists make a living.
29. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us
A. The contest has proved a hit. B. The pianos are very popular.
C. Railway stations are crowded. D. Everyone can be an amateur musician.
30. What does the underlined word “vandalized” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A Selected carefully. B. Checked regularly.
C. Reserved in advance. D. Destroyed on purpose.
31. What would be the best title for the text
A. Miss a train yet catch a tune B. A soundscape in the memory
C. The role of piano in French life D. An amazing train with a piano bar
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【分析】本文属于说明文。讲述一个法国铁路公司与雅马哈合作，在法国的一百多个火车站放置钢琴，供旅客弹奏，以缓解他们的匆忙的心情，收到良好的效果。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段可知，旅客乘车都是很匆忙的，以及第二段It will just be a random passer - by, jamming for the fun of it on one of the pianos that the national railroad company, S. N. C. F., has fixed in nearly 100 stations across France.可知，随意的一个行人，都可以为了乐趣而在火车站放置的钢琴旁演奏，因此，铁路公司这么做是为了缓解旅客的紧张的心情，故C项正确。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段The amateur musicians have included Irish soccer fans and even babies.以及It drew nearly 900 entries.可知，人们很喜欢放置在火车站的钢琴，很多人都去弹过，同时举办的“轮到你演奏了”的比赛也很受欢迎，由此得知，大家很喜欢这个创意，都愿意展示音乐方面的才能，故D项正确。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据本句None of the instruments以及or even merely damaged可知，没有一件钢琴受损，相反，They are shared and respected by all.可知，人们很爱惜钢琴，也不据为己有，通过前后句的逻辑关系可知，钢琴没有被人损坏，故D项正确。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知，乘客在乘车时总是很匆忙，很多人也会错过火车，以及后文，但是铁路公司通过在车站放置钢琴供旅客演奏和倾听，以此来缓解旅客的焦虑，很受游客的欢迎，故A项（虽然错过了火车，但是还可以弹奏一曲。）是最佳标题。
【点睛】关于词义猜测题。词义猜测主要考查词汇量和对文章语境的理解，如果词汇量稍大的同学，知道单词的意思，那么就很简单。但是如果不认识，就只能通过上下文语境来推测新词的词义，比如小题3，我们分析了vandalise所在句子的成分，根据None of the instruments以及or even merely damaged，再结合后文They are shared and respected by all，就可以得出vandalise这词属于贬义，意思应与damaged接近，再结合选项，我们就能把答案选出来。
D
Being deaf in a hearing world can lead to painful feelings of isolation (孤独).
Waitress Kelsey recently shared an experience on a social media sharing site that quickly zoomed (陡直上升) to the top of the “ front page of the Internet”. In her brief post, Kelsey explained that she waits tables at a bar during the evenings, and one night she noticed a deaf man sitting alone in her section (区域).
When Kelsey isn’t working at the bar she makes a good hourly pay doing sign language interpretation (翻译), so she sensed an opportunity to use her skill to make this customer feel a little less alone in the world. She approached his table and began chatting with him in sign language.
When the table next to his noticed their silent conversation they asked Kelsey how long she’d been signing. They had a brief conversation about her goal of becoming certified (合格的) to interpret sign language in a medical or mental health setting.She didn’t think much about the whole exchange until the customers had left the restaurant and she was tidying up the tables. There, on the table of the customers who’d seen her American sign language conversation with the deaf man, was a handwritten note on the receipt.
“Thank you for what you do; it absolutely matters!” the note said. “Good luck with finishing your degree!” Not only that, but they’d left her a $100 tip.
Kelsey was moved by the kind note, especially because she wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary. To her, she was just conversing with someone in a language that only they understood. Yet to the deaf man and the people seated next to him she’d bridged a gap and helped someone who probably feels lonely a lot of the time.
Kelsey shared the note on the Internet to spread more love and light in the world.
32. What do we know about Kelsey’s work at the bar？
A. It is her part-time job.
B. It goes beyond her ability.
C. It requires her to work all day long.
D. It offers her a chance to learn sign language.
33. What can we infer about the deaf man
A. He left Kelsey $100 as a tip.
B. He could use sign language.
C. He found it hard to communicate with Kelsey.
D. He was a friend of the customers at the next table.
34. What did the people at the table next to the deaf man think of Kelsey
A She is wasting time working as a waitress. B. She needs to study further for a degree.
C. She should use the Internet as a tool. D. She is so kind to serve those in need.
35. What lesson can we learn from Kelsey’s experience
A. Practice makes perfect. B. It is never too late to learn.
C. Kindness is repaid with kindness. D. When in Rome, do as Romans do.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了手语翻译 Kelsey在酒吧兼职，用手语跟耳聋顾客交流时感动了邻桌顾客而为其留下100美元小费的故事。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中In her brief post, Kelsey explained that she waits tables at a bar during the evenings, and one night she noticed a deaf man sitting alone in her section.(在她简短的帖子中，Kelsey解释说她晚上在酒吧里当服务员，一天晚上她注意到一个耳聋顾客独自坐在她的区域)及第三段中When Kelsey isn’t working at the bar she makes a good hourly pay doing sign language interpretation, so she sensed an opportunity to use her skill to make this customer feel a little less alone in the world.(当Kelsey不在酒吧工作的时候，她通过做手语翻译获得了不错的时薪，所以她觉得有机会利用她的技能让这位顾客在这个世界上感到不那么孤独)可知，这份酒吧工作是Kelsey的兼职工作。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中She approached his table and began chatting with him in sign language.可知，她走近他的桌子，开始用手语和他聊天。由此可推知，那位耳聋顾客也会手语。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Thank you for what you do; it absolutely matters!” the note said.可知，“谢谢你所做的一切，这绝对重要！”字条上写着。由此可知，这桌客人认为Kelsey为有需要的人提供服务，很善良。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。 根据倒数第三段中Not only that, but they’d left her a $100 tip.可知，不仅如此，他们还给了她100美元小费。结合上文，Kelsey 与耳聋客人手语交流，邻桌客人为其留下100美元小费，说明了好心有好报的道理。故选C。
第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit: we cannot flower and grow without it. And yet, while most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are somehow reluctant to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise.
___36___ Perhaps it’s because few of us know how to accept compliments gracefully. Instead, we are embarrassed and shrug off the words we are really so glad to hear. Because of this defensive reaction, direct compliments are surprisingly difficult to give. That is why some of the most valued pats on the back are those which come to us indirectly, in a letter or passed on by a friend.
It’s especially rewarding to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned. ___37___ A cook is praised for a perfect meal. But do you ever tell your laundry manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right Do you ever praise your paperboy for getting the paper to you on time 365 days a year
Praise is particularly appreciated by those doing routine jobs: gas station attendants, waitresses-even housewives. ___38___ Since so often praise is the only wage a housewife receives, surely she of all people should get her measure.
___39___ It only takes a moment’s thought and a moment’s effort perhaps a quick phone call to pass on a compliment, or five minutes spent writing an appreciative letter. It is such a small investment and yet consider the results it may produce. ___40___
So, let’s be alert to the small excellences around us and comment on them. We will not only bring joy into other people’s lives, but also, very often, add happiness into our own.
A. We are accustomed to accepting praise.
B. A student is ignored despite his good work.
C. To give praise costs the giver almost nothing.
D. It’s strange how cautious we are about praising
E. Shakespeare said, “Our praises are our wages.”
F. An artist gets complimented for a glorious picture.
G. “I can live for two months on a good compliment,” said Mark Twain.
【答案】36. D 37. F 38. E 39. C 40. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了赞美别人所带来的好处。
【36题详解】
分析设空可知，空处位于段首，是本段的中心句，根据后文“Instead, we are embarrassed and shrug off the words we are really so glad to hear. Because of this defensive reaction, direct compliments are surprisingly difficult to give. That is why some of the most valued pats on the back are those which come to us indirectly, in a letter or passed on by a friend.(相反，我们感到尴尬，对我们真正高兴听到的话不屑一顾。由于这种防御反应，直接的赞美是非常困难的。这就是为什么一些最有价值的鼓励是来自于间接的，来自于一封信或朋友的传递)”可知，本段主要是在讲，我们不会随便赞美他人，所以D项“It’s strange how cautious we are about praising.(奇怪的是，我们对赞美是如此谨慎)”符合文意。故选D项。
【37题详解】
根据前文“It’s especially rewarding to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned.(在那些努力通常被忽视或不被提及的领域给予表扬尤其有益)”可知，本段主要讲述了给那些被忽视或不被提及的人以鼓励会更有益，再根据后文“A cook is praised for a perfect meal.(厨师因一顿完美的饭菜而受到表扬)”可知，此处在举反例，所以空处应也是反例，所以F项“An artist gets complimented for a glorious picture.(一位艺术家因一幅辉煌的画而受到称赞)”符合文意。故选F项。
【38题详解】
根据后文“Since so often praise is the only wage a housewife receives, surely she of all people should get her measure.(既然赞美常常是一个家庭主妇唯一得到的报酬，那么她当然应该得到她应得的报酬)”可知，赞美常常是有些人得到的唯一报酬。所以E项“Shakespeare said, “Our praises are our wages.”(莎士比亚说过:“赞美是我们的工资。”)”后句是对本句的进一步说明，符合文意，其中wage为同词复现。故选E项。
【39题详解】
分析设空可知，空处位于段首，是本段的中心句，根据后文“It only takes a moment’s thought and a moment’s effort perhaps a quick phone call to pass on a compliment, or five minutes spent writing an appreciative letter. It is such a small investment and yet consider the results it may produce.(这只需要片刻的思考和片刻的努力，也许是一个快速的电话传递赞美，或花五分钟写一封感激的信。这是一笔很小的投资，但考虑一下它可能产生的结果)”可知，赞美他人不需要什么代价，所以C项“To give praise costs the giver almost nothing.(给予赞美者几乎不需要付出任何代价)”符合文意。故选C项。
【40题详解】
分析设空可知，空处位于段尾，应该是对前文的总结或者前句的说明，根据前文“It is such a small investment and yet consider the results it may produce.(这是一笔很小的投资，但考虑一下它可能产生的结果)”可知，后文应写后果，所以G项““I can live for two months on a good compliment,”said Mark Twain.(马克·吐温说过：“只凭一句赞美的话我就可以充实地活上两个月。”)”符合文意。故选G项。

【答案】56. further
57. have made
58. impression
59. amazed 60. waiting
61. which 62. was
63. it 64. warmly
65. of
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己从泰国来中国留学，被中国人民热情帮助的经历。
【56题详解】
考查动词。句意：当我告诉朋友们我打算在中国继续学习时，他们都很惊讶。根据空前的plan的用法plan to do可知，该空需要填一个动词原形，提示词far为形容词兼副词，其派生的动词拼写为further，意为“促进，推进，使更进一步”，符合语境。故填further。
【57题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：但到目前为止，选择在中国深造是我一生中做出的最好的决定之一。所给动词make在定语从句中作谓语，先行词decision前有最高级修饰，根据从句时间状语in my life，结合主句时间状语up to now可知，到目前为止，这是我人生中曾做出过的最好决定之一。该动词应使用现在完成时态，主语为第一人称，助动词应使用原形。故填have made。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意：我对中国的第一印象是人口众多。分析句子，谓语动词is使用了单数形式，并且空前由形容词性物主代词my修饰，所以该空需要一个单数名词作主语，所给词impress为动词，其派生名词impression符合题意。故填impression。
【59题详解】
考查形容词。句意：当我到达武昌火车站时，我惊讶地发现那么多人们带着行李等着出租车和私家车来运送他们。该空需要一个形容词作表语，形容主语I，所给词amaze为动词，其形容词形式amazed用来形容人感到惊讶，符合语境。故填amazed。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：当我到达武昌火车站时，我惊讶地发现那么多人们带着行李等着出租车和私家车来运送他们。所给动词wait在句中作后置定语，修饰名词people，与所修饰名词为主动关系，应使用现在分词形式。故填waiting。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：当时我不会说中文，这让当地人很惊讶。该空需要一个关系代词引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为前面整个句子，并指代先行词在从句中作主语，应使用which。故填which。
【62题详解】
考查时态。句意：后来我意识到，这可能是因为我来自泰国，在外貌上没有明显的区别。提示词be在宾语从句中作谓语，根据主句谓语动词realised可知，从句时态应使用一般过去时态，指当时人们发现作者不会讲中国话很惊讶。故填was。
【63题详解】
考查代词。句意：我原以为熟悉环境对我来说很难。本空为宾语从句的主语位置，结合下文语境可知，动词不定式to get familiar with the environment为从句的真正主语，由此可知，该空应填形式主语it。故填it。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意：但当我告诉他们我来自哪里时，他们只是热情地笑着说：“你是我们的邻居。如果你的朋友有时间，带他们来中国。”该空需要一个副词修饰动词smiled，所给词warm为形容词。故填warmly。
【65题详解】
考查介词固定搭配。句意：当我有需要的时候，我得到了热情的帮助，我很喜欢中国人，主要是因为他们的善良和慷慨。固定短语be fond of意为“喜爱”符合语境。故填of。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
It was cool and bright and just right for running. I was in the first few miles of a 10-mile race through some hills. Birds were singing on the trees. The soft wind was brushing my cheeks. I felt rested and springy. Despite the hills, I thought it was going to be a fine run.
Ahead was Blake, a student from Burke High School. He was running easily, too, moving along efficiently. The pace felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where he was; why bother concentrating on pace when Blake was such a nice pacesetter for me I would overtake Blake later on when he used up energy.
So I ran closely behind him. The course headed north for five miles, wandered west for a mile, and then turned south again. The race was getting tougher. With three miles to go, it was beginning to be real hard work. My lungs were on fire, and legs felt like stone.
Blake overtook the boy in front of him. Apparently he knew the boy, for they exchanged a few words. Their brief communication worried me. Runners don’t chat during a race unless they feel really good, and Blake plainly was. There was still a noticeable bounce in his steps, but the springiness I had once possessed was gone.
Still, I was close enough to overtake Blake if he was tired, so I didn’t give up hope completely. We were approaching a hill, a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost certainly determine who crossed it first.
As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Blake was moving away, first five yards, then ten, then more. There was no hope of catching Blake.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly Blake slowed and sat onto the ground painfully.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A reporter took a picture of this moving scene and posted it online
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Suddenly Blake slowed and sat onto the ground painfully. Then I hurried up and ran up to him, only to find that his leg was cramping. I tried to help him stand and move forward, but he refused. He asked me to run after the others so that I could get the first place. I thought for a second and decided to accompany him for a rest. Then we ran slowly forward together. Although we ran slowly and were overtaken by others, I felt relaxed and we finally crossed the finish line together.
A reporter took a picture of this moving scene and posted it online. During the time, the photo got a lot of likes. Many strangers sent the emails to praise me about the incident. In fact, I was a little hesitant at the beginning, but the moment I decided to help Blake, I felt calm and relaxed. I’m happy that I did the right thing.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者参加跑步赛跑，一开始跑的很轻松，后来遇到Blake，决定和他一起跑，但是后来作者想超过他，所以作者紧紧地跟在他后面跑，但是越跑越困难，但是作者仍然没有放弃希望，继续追赶他。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“突然，布莱克慢了下来，痛苦地坐在地上。”可知，第一段可描写Blake腿抽筋，我决定帮助他和他一起跑向终点。
②由第二段首句内容“一位记者拍下了这动人的一幕，并把它传到了网上。”可知，第二段可描写作者受到很多人的赞扬，非常开心自己做了一件正确的事情。
2.续写线索：帮助——陪着一起走——到达终点——受到赞扬——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①.加快：hurry up/ hasten
②.跑向：run up to /run to

ChatGPT, designed by OpenAI to carry on conversations just like humans, has become a viral excitement. The AI-powered tool went from zero to a million users in just five days! Its ability to provide in-depth answers to user questions has even drawn the attention of distinguished technology companies.
The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense. Its vast body of knowledge has been gathered from the internet and archived books. It is further trained by humans. This makes ChatGPT a useful tool for researching almost any topic.
“We have a lot of information on the internet, but you normally have to Google it, then read it and then do something with it,” says Ricardo, chief science officer and co-founder of AI company Erudit. “Now you’ll have this resource that can process the whole internet and all of the information it contains for you to answer your question.”
ChatGPT cannot think on its own. It depends on the information that it has been trained on. As a result, the AI tool works well for things that have accurate data available. However, when unsure, ChatGPT can get creative and flow out incorrect responses. OpenAI cautions users to check the information no matter how logical it sounds. Also, ChatGPT has only been trained with information till 2021. Hence, it cannot be relied upon for anything that happened after that.
Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real-world problems. It can translate long texts into different languages, create content on almost any topic, and even summarize books.
However, ChatGPT has received mixed reactions from educators. Some believe it could serve as a valuable tool to help build literacy skills in the classroom. It could also be used to teach students difficult science or math concepts. But other educators think ChatGPT will encourage students to cheat. They fear this will prevent them from building critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As a result, many districts are starting to ban its use in schools.

You dash through a crowded railway station, tripping over bags, spilling (泼出) your coffee, only to have the doors slide shut in your face, leaving you breathless on the platform as the train pulls away.
But at least, if you’re in France, someone may be playing the piano for you. But it won’t be performed by a paid musician, or even a street entertainer playing for coins. It will just be a random passer-by, jamming for the fun of it on one of the pianos that the national railroad company, S. N. C. F., has fixed in nearly 100 stations across France. They are free for anyone to play, and travelers from all walks of life have taken to doing just that.
Gares & Connexions, the S. N. C. F. division that manages its stations, rents the instruments from the producer, Yamaha: which maintains them and tunes them every month or two. The first one was set up in the Gare Montparnasse in Paris in 2012.
The music, mixed with the sounds of shouting passengers, screaming trains and rolling suitcases, gives French stations a special soundscape. The amateur musicians have included Irish soccer fans and even babies. In 2014, Gares & Connexions and Yamaha organized a nationwide contest called Your Turn to Play, asking participants to submit videos of themselves using one of the pianos. It drew nearly 900 entries.
Isn’t the railroad company taking a big chance Apparently not: “None of the instruments has been vandalized to this day, or even merely damaged,” said Claire Foumon, a spokeswoman for Gares & Connexions. “They are shared and respected by all.”
So if you miss a train in Paris; Bordeaux or Marseille one day, perhaps someone will be playing a favorite piece that will ease your pain. Or perhaps you’ll sit down and play your annoyance away yourself.

Being deaf in a hearing world can lead to painful feelings of isolation (孤独).
Waitress Kelsey recently shared an experience on a social media sharing site that quickly zoomed (陡直上升) to the top of the “ front page of the Internet”. In her brief post, Kelsey explained that she waits tables at a bar during the evenings, and one night she noticed a deaf man sitting alone in her section (区域).
When Kelsey isn’t working at the bar she makes a good hourly pay doing sign language interpretation (翻译), so she sensed an opportunity to use her skill to make this customer feel a little less alone in the world. She approached his table and began chatting with him in sign language.
When the table next to his noticed their silent conversation they asked Kelsey how long she’d been signing. They had a brief conversation about her goal of becoming certified (合格的) to interpret sign language in a medical or mental health setting.She didn’t think much about the whole exchange until the customers had left the restaurant and she was tidying up the tables. There, on the table of the customers who’d seen her American sign language conversation with the deaf man, was a handwritten note on the receipt.
“Thank you for what you do; it absolutely matters!” the note said. “Good luck with finishing your degree!” Not only that, but they’d left her a $100 tip.
Kelsey was moved by the kind note, especially because she wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary. To her, she was just conversing with someone in a language that only they understood. Yet to the deaf man and the people seated next to him she’d bridged a gap and helped someone who probably feels lonely a lot of the time.
Kelsey shared the note on the Internet to spread more love and light in the world
32. What do we know about Kelsey’s work at the bar？
A. It is her part-time job.
B. It goes beyond her ability.
C It requires her to work all day long.
D. It offers her a chance to learn sign language.
33. What can we infer about the deaf man
A. He left Kelsey $100 as a tip.
B. He could use sign language.
C. He found it hard to communicate with Kelsey.
D. He was a friend of the customers at the next table.
34. What did the people at the table next to the deaf man think of Kelsey
A. She is wasting time working as a waitress. B. She needs to study further for a degree.
C. She should use the Internet as a tool. D. She is so kind to serve those in need.
35. What lesson can we learn from Kelsey’s experience
A. Practice makes perfect. B. It is never too late to learn.
C. Kindness is repaid with kindness. D. When in Rome, do as Romans do.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit: we cannot flower and grow without it. And yet, while most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are somehow reluctant to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise.
___36___ Perhaps it’s because few of us know how to accept compliments gracefully. Instead, we are embarrassed and shrug off the words we are really so glad to hear. Because of this defensive reaction, direct compliments are surprisingly difficult to give. That is why some of the most valued pats on the back are those which come to us indirectly, in a letter or passed on by a friend.
It’s especially rewarding to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned. ___37___ A cook is praised for a perfect meal. But do you ever tell your laundry manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right Do you ever praise your paperboy for getting the paper to you on time 365 days a year
Praise is particularly appreciated by those doing routine jobs: gas station attendants, waitresses-even housewives. ___38___ Since so often praise is the only wage a housewife receives, surely she of all people should get her measure.
___39___ It only takes a moment’s thought and a moment’s effort perhaps a quick phone call to pass on a compliment, or five minutes spent writing an appreciative letter. It is such a small investment and yet consider the results it may produce. ___40___
So, let’s be alert to the small excellences around us and comment on them. We will not only bring joy into other people’s lives, but also, very often, add happiness into our own.
A. We are accustomed to accepting praise.
B. A student is ignored despite his good work.
C. To give praise costs the giver almost nothing.
D. It’s strange how cautious we are about praising
E. Shakespeare said, “Our praises are our wages.”
F. An artist gets complimented for a glorious picture.
G. “I can live for two months on a good compliment,” said Mark Twain.

67. 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。
It was cool and bright and just right for running. I was in the first few miles of a 10-mile race through some hills. Birds were singing on the trees. The soft wind was brushing my cheeks. I felt rested and springy. Despite the hills, I thought it was going to be a fine run.
Ahead was Blake a student from Burke High School. He was running easily, too, moving along efficiently. The pace felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where he was; why bother concentrating on pace when Blake was such a nice pacesetter for me I would overtake Blake later on when he used up energy.
So I ran closely behind him. The course headed north for five miles, wandered west for a mile, and then turned south again. The race was getting tougher. With three miles to go, it was beginning to be real hard work. My lungs were on fire, and legs felt like stone.
Blake overtook the boy in front of him. Apparently he knew the boy, for they exchanged a few words. Their brief communication worried me. Runners don’t chat during a race unless they feel really good, and Blake plainly was. There was still a noticeable bounce in his steps, but the springiness I had once possessed was gone.
Still, I was close enough to overtake Blake if he was tired, so I didn’t give up hope completely. We were approaching a hill, a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost certainly determine who crossed it first.
As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Blake was moving away, first five yards, then ten, then more. There was no hope of catching Blake.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly Blake slowed and sat onto the ground painfully.
