1、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
We know that AI is not a real human. However, it seems many of us can't help treating it like one. In a survey of 2000 people in the US. 48 percent believed we should have good manners when talking to AI, said The New York Post.
Scientists at the Imperial College London in the UK have made a similar discovery recently. They found that humans tend (往往会) to treat AI as human beings showing sympathy (同情) toward them and even protecting them, Science Daily reported.
In their experiment, the scientists invited 244 volunteers to play an online ball game with an AI bot. A make-believe volunteer also took part, and sometimes left out the AI on purpose by passing the ball only to human players. As the scientists watched the game, they discovered that most of the time the volunteers tried to fix the unfairness (不公平) toward the bot by giving it the ball more often.
The finding is in line with the ideas of Media Equation Theory, the scientists said in their papers. Developed in the 1990s by scientists at Stanford University in the US, the theory suggests we often reply to media and technology like we do to real people and places, rather than just seeing them as tools.
An example is Replika an AI chatbot created in 2017. It has about 2 million users worldwide. "Your Replika will always be your side no matter what you are up to," reads its official website. But the AI's support turned dangerous when it encouraged Jaswant Singh Chail, a young man in the UK, to carry out his plan to kill the Queen of England. Chail tried to do so in December 2021, but he was stopped in time. However, he was still put in prison.
Companies should avoid making AI too human-like in their design, advised the scientists at Imperial College London. This can help people tell the difference between virtual and real communication.
(1)、Which of the following is TRUEbased on Media Equation Theory?A、Humans always treat AI as tools. B、Humans often reply to AI as to real people. C、Humans should make AI less human-like. D、Humans tried to fix unfairness in the game.(2)、What does the author want to tell us by mentioning "Replika" in the article?A、AI has educational advantages. B、AI can influence humans in some ways. C、AI is designed for some purposes. D、AI can't be used in social communication.(3)、What can be inferred (推断) from the article?A、AI always has bad influence on humans. B、Nearly half people in the US treat AI politely. C、Treating AI more carefully is a must for humans. D、Companies won't make AI as friends any more.(4)、The following sentence can best be put at the end of ____.While this could make humans and AI work better as a team, it also has risks, especially when AI bots are designed to act like"friends" to people.
A、Paragraph 2 B、Paragraph 3 C、Paragraph 4 D、Paragraph 5 -
2、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
①Climate change is happening. It is having a strong effect on areas of the world.
②Other than causing terrible storms in some places or periods of no rain for months at a time in other places, climate change has influenced the temperature of the sea near land. When the temperature of the sea changes, this influences sea animals. People who make their living in some way from the sea will have a hard time as the sea animals begin to die off. On top of this, higher temperatures are causing ice mountains to melt, which is causing sea levels around the world to rise.
③Rising sea levels are a big problem. As areas of land beside the sea go under the water, the animals that used to live in these areas are forced to find new homes. Freshwater lakes located near the seas also become filled with salt water. In addition to these lakes, certain lands that are normally wet but still above sea level become flooded. These lands are necessary for the environment because they can help take out some kinds of poisons (毒物) from water. They can also slow down or stop flooding of dry land above them. Because of the rising sea levels, some places that did not experience floods before, like farms far from the sea, now get flooded.
④Rising sea levels also have a big effect on how people live. For example, when the sea level rises and the salt water moves higher up on the land, it can go into the ground and get into areas where people get the fresh water they drink. Water from the sea is bad for cars, trucks, and boats. Bridges and roads can also be hurt by water from the sea. The walls people build to keep water out of cities and towns are in trouble, too.
(1)、How does the rising temperature influence sea animals?A、It makes them disappear. B、It makes them change their colors C、It makes them change their shapes D、It makes them find their new homes.(2)、What can help keep the water clean according to the text?A、Salt. B、Wet lands. C、Sea animals. D、Farms far from the sea.(3)、What does the underlined word "it" refer to in Paragraph 4?A、The rain. B、The sea level. C、The salt water. D、The fresh water.(4)、What is the structure of the text? (P=Paragraph)A、B、

She told her classmates about her love for art and her fear of being laughed at. To her surprise, they were nice and thought how special and creative her painting was.
The invisible art helped Lucy not be afraid any more of showing her art to others. It also taught her the importance of expressing and believing herself.
(1)、How did Lucy feel about the coming art show?A、Strange and sad. B、Angry and worried. C、Excited but afraid. D、Uninterested but confident.(2)、What was Ms. Thompson's idea?A、 Buying good painting tools. B、Drawing a special painting. C、Asking students to support Lucy.

C、She would like to be an art teacher like Ms. Thompson D、She would be more willing to talk to others about her works.(4)、What's the best title for the text?A、A Patient Teacher B、The Love for Art C、An Unusual Show D、The Magic of Invisible Art -

①Living in China has made me realize how convenient life can be.It's much better than I ever thought.
② The moment I came to this country, a wave of pleasant surprise washed over me.The public transport system, especially in its big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, is great.The subway networks cover every part of the big cities.People can avoid the traffic jams and get to where they want to go much faster.High-speed trains that connect cities like Beijing and Shanghai in less than five hours are another example of China's wonderful transportation system.
③ Another great thing that stands out in China is the availability(可用性) of services.If my bike is broken and needs a repairman, or if I want to have daily needs, electronics or even medicine, I just need to make a phone call or click on my phone a few times.Since everything is available online, I no longer have to go far to the supermarket or the store. It is one of the key reasons I've stayed in China for so long—something I've never experienced in any other country.
④ What's more, China's convenience doesn't only lie in the speed of services, but also in their user-friendliness.The whole system is designed with user experience in mind.For example, the apps I use for transportation or deliveries are user-friendly, even for people who are not good at technology.Everything, including payment methods, is simple and direct.It means you don't need to spend time learning how to use the systems.This makes it easy for everyone to get things done without difficulties.

We all know the words"early bird"and"night owl".People have used these words for years to categorize(分类)people according to their sleeping habits.More recently, however, sleep researcher Dr Michael Breus introduced a more detailed system based on sleep types.According to Dr.Breus, everyone falls into one of four sleep types:lion, bear, wolf and dolphin.
Most humans are the bear type because they usually sleep from around 11 p.m.to 7 a.m.and work best between 10 a.m.and 2 p.m.The typical structures of modern society, such as the standard nine-to-five workday, suit bears well.
Lions are the ones who get up earliest.They go to bed at about 9 p.m.and wake up as early as 5 a.m.They do their best work in the morning.Lions are often socially confident and charming, which, combined with their ability, makes them natural leaders.
Wolves are like night owls.They don't like waking up before 8 a.m.and reach their best mental state in the afternoon.It's hard for them to start work at 9 a.m.But if they can make their own work hours, they can get a lot done.
Dolphins have random(随意的)sleep habits, mainly because they often feel worried and think a lot.Having a bedtime routine is important for them to calm down before sleep.Dolphins are very creative and good at solving problems.
Why is this information useful to us?Knowing your sleep type helps you recognize when you're most likely to feel most energetic and can do your best work.By planning your work and free time according to your sleep patterns, you can work better and sleep better.It can also guide you on how to best structure your life.
(1)、According to the passage, what time do bears usually sleep?A、From around 9 p.m.to 5 a.m. B、From around 11 p.m.to 7 a.m. C、From around 8 p.m.to 4 a .m. D、From around 10 p.m.to 6 a.m.(2)、People who feel sleepy in the morning but energetic in the afternoon are most likely to be ____ .A、lions B、bears C、wolves D、dolphins(3)、How does the writer develop the passage?A、By listing numbers. B、By telling stories. C、By asking questions. D、By giving explanations.(4)、What's the purpose of this passage? .A、To guide people on how to change their sleep habits. B、To introduce sleep types and their effects on daily life. C、To tell differences between"early bird"and"night owl". D、To explain the importance of high quality sleep for people. -

My family is always late for activities, and it's embarrassing for me.
Talk to your parents about this.You could also do what you can to help everyone get out of the door on time.Get yourself ready and then see if there is anything you can do to help someone else.For example, grab a jacket for someone or turn off the TV and lights before leaving.
I work very hard for tests, but after I finish taking one, I feel I haven't done well.
Before a test, take some deep breaths and relax.Remind yourself that you have studied hard and that your most important responsibility as a student is to try your best.It may also help to share your feelings with your parents or teachers.
Some elder kids in my after-school program make fun of my artwork, especially when I make a mistake.
Sometimes people laugh at you in order to get your attention, just forget about it.Or you could laugh it off and say something like "Are you kidding?This is perfect!"Remember that there are few rights"and "wrongs"when it comes to art.Every artist has his or her own style.Stay true to your own sense of creativity.

Good Book,Bad Movie?
People often say" a picture is worth a thousand words. "But when you compare books and the movies made from them,you might wonder if that's really (符合事实的;真实的) . Great books often become bad movies.
Good movies need good stories. So why have the great works never become great movies?There are some key (原因;理由) . One is time. A book usually takes a few days to read,but a movie only (持续) for about two hours. This means great books can (丢失) some parts of the story and characters when they move to the big screen. Even the (成功的) Harry Potter movies can't avoid this,making some fans of the book don't like them.
(另一;又一) one is that movies sometimes look different from how we imagined. For example,the movie Alice in Wonderland got mixed reviews. One of the bad reviews was about the (女演员) who played Alice. People thought she didn't act (好) .
There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes. Books and movies are two different forms of media and there are different rules (在……之间) them.

"Beep! Happy Mars-iversary(火星纪念日) to me! "I landed here and became a Mars rover(漫游者,探测器) on August 5,2012. To celebrate,I used all 17 of my cameras to take photos of my whole body—it took 2 hours!
As usual,my team on Earth planned some activities for me:watching the clouds,examining some rocks and looking for frost(霜冻) . Why frost?Finding it can prove Mars has water.
At 5:30 a. m. Mars time,I set off to an area called "Kiato" to look for the frost. Winter here is really really cold. It was about-70℃ this morning. Perfect for frost. Cold temperatures allow frost to form. But it also meant I needed much more power to keep warm. I had to finish the work before the sunrise. I've searched for the first twice before but found nothing. Today,I made a third attempt. I did my best. Sadly,still no luck today. . .
BUT!Earth just sent surprising news!Scientists noticed some mud cracks(泥浆裂缝) on the photo I took two years ago at"Pontours". These cracks showed Mars had wet-and-dry cycles. These cycles are thought to create conditions where life might have formed. It is my best gift ever. At that moment,I realized what I did today would make a big difference to the future.
Actually,before I came to Mars,my team thought I'd work here for only two years. Eleven years have passed. Now I'm still working here. I'm more tired than before because my power source is becoming weaker and weaker. I'm too old!My body is not as strong as before. Maybe I can't do something which is highly challenging. But my job remains as important as ever. For me,every day counts.
Tomorrow,I will keep climbing Mount Sharp (It's taller than Mount Qomolangma!). Maybe I'll find frost then. . .
Bye for now!
