In your siphon, they pulled the water particles over into the empty glass.(    )23. What is the siphon made of in this experiment?A. Hose.         B. Paper.          C. Water.         D. Plastic.        (    )24. How much toilet paper do we use to make a siphon?A.4 square meters.  B.5 square meters.    C.4 squares        D. 5 squares.        (    )25. What makes the water move from one glass into the other?A.Paper fibers.     B Tiny particles.      C. Capillary action.  D.Water particles.BJessica Long,a 29-year-old American swimmer, won four medals at the Tokyo Paralympic Games(残奥会).For years,the Games have given her the chance to compete at the highest level, and something to look forward to every four years“Since 12,when I won my first gold in Athens,I've had a wish to let more people know what the Paralympic Games are.” says Jessica, who lost her lower legs when she was a baby because of illness.Participation(参加)in the Paralympics is at an all-time high at the Tokyo games. But they are relatively new to most people.As early as 1888, some deaf athletes created their own sports clubs in Berlin, Germany. But the idea of competitions for disabled athletes didn't spread widely until World War II,when it became a way to help the injured.Ludwig Guttmann,a doctor in Great Britain, was the leader of the movement. He believed that participating in sports would be a good form of mental and physical recovery(康复).In 1948, on the same day as the opening ceremonies for the Olympic Games in London, Guttmann organized the first contest for disabled athletes, which he named the International Wheelchair Games. Sixteen people in wheelchairs competed in archery(射箭)during the games. Then the games became an annual event. And in 1952,the Netherlands sent a team,making the competition international.In 1960,the games officially became the Paralympic Games.That year, more than 400 athletes with disabilities from 23 countries got together at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. They competed in archery, basketball,swimming and other events.Since then, the Paralympics have been held at once after the Olympics in the same host city.For people like Jessica,the Games are a gift, “I don’t know where life is going to take me,” Jessica says,“but the Paralympics have given me this wild, amazing journey.”(    )26. What is Jessica Long’s long-time hope according to the passage?A.To win more medals at the Paralympics.B.To make the Paralympics known to the public.C.To get all the disabled take part in the Paralympics. D.To pay more attention to athletes at the Paralympics.(    )27. What does the underlined word“they”in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Jessica's legs.        B.Deaf athletes.     C. The Olympics.    D.The Paralympics        (    )28.What does the author mainly try to tell us in the last paragraph?A.Jessica is going on a nice journey in Japan.B.Life is really hard for all the disabled people.C.Athletes will get some gifts in the Paralympics. D.The Paralympics mean a lot to disabled athletes.CIt's always easier to say“Yes” because most of us want to please other people.Somebody asks you to go to a party but you have tests the next day,or to help them although you are busy at the moment, or to join the activities you have no interest in at all! Even though your heart is crying NO, you find the word“Yes”coming out of your mouth.However,it usually results in anger - not only for the person who asks you, but also for yourself for not being strong enough.Lisa Messenger, the Collective Hub CEO, said in her first few years of business, many people asked her to talk over coffee. Actually, she usually ended up having 20 coffee meetings a week and that stopped her from doing business because she didn’t have time to do her own work.Messenger finally learned to refuse like “No,I'm sorry,but I don't have time”. She believes if you say "Yes”,you will regret later. Or your heart will be filled with guilt, fear or anger because you feel bad for agreeing to do something you never want to. So you need to be brave enough to say “No” when you're asked at first.Janine Garner, CEO of The LBD Group,believes we need to get very clear about our goals. Unless we work towards our goals, nobody else will care about our time. Garner said,“We may end up saying 'Yes’ because we feel sorry for somebody who needs us. But we end up having that awful feeling in our heart. You can only achieve the best of you by stopping doing the things that take up your time and don’t add anything towards your goals. Take a good look at the time spent on others, which you really should spend on yourself.”(    )29.The writer leads in the topic by______.A.telling a story                 B. giving examples        C.making a survey               D.asking questions        (    )30.We can learn from the passage that now Messenger______.A. knows how to refuse others politely     B.always agrees to help her workmates C. likes drinking coffee in her work time  D.feels angry when she can’t help others (    )31.Which opinion would Janine Garner probably agree with?A.Offering help is the key to making friends. B.Helping others may make you successful. C.You'd better say “No” bravely if necessary. D. People who need us will care about our time.(    )32.What's the structure of the passage?      A.        B.      C.      D.DFrom writing Shakespeare-style poetry to making music,Chat GPT has amazed the whole world since it came into the market in late 2022 by the US-based company Open AI.(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 Chat GPT impress the whole world? As Sam Altman, the CEO of Open AI said in an interview with Forbes, “it's not actually completely new technology that made this(Chat GPT) have a moment.”According to MIT Technology Review.Chat GPT is based on GPT-3 a large language model. Because texts are more complicated (复杂的) than the meaning of every word combing结合)，language models require a type of neural network (神经网络) that can understand texts.A new technology 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(追踪)where the word appears in a sentence.Transformer can therefore catch the meaning of texts more correctly.The GPT models built by Open AI combined Transformer with learning that the models can learn by themselves without being told what to look at.Chat GPT can now make a reply at once because of the large scale(规模)of texts it learned from.“One of the biggest problems with Chat GPT is that it comes back, very confidently, with some false information,”Michael Wooldridge at the Alan Turing Institute in London,UK, told The Guardian. This means that Chat GPT doesn’t know the truth about the world-it learns information from all kinds of resources but it can't decide what is true or false.Some argued that Chat GPT will be used to write fake news, spread information that is not true, or be used for ill purpose. As for education, many US schools recently don't allow the students to use Chat GPT on school networks because students began to use it as a shortcut for homework.(    )33.The passage is probably______.A. a folk story       B. an instruction      C. a science fiction     D.a science report        (    )34. How does the Chat GPT work?A. By making use of its large collection of texts. B.By dividing information into different themes. C. By gathering different information.D.By changing difficult texts into easy ones.(    )36. What is the new technology behind Chat GPT?A.Its neural network can understand texts quickly. B.Its language model can track words correctly.C. Its model combines Transformer with self-learning.D. Its Transformer can produce human-like replies at once.(    )37. What is one of the biggest problems with Chat GPT,according to Wooldridge?A.It processes information slowly.          B. It learns from fewer resources.        C.It can produce false answers.            D.It can be used for ill purpose.        四、六选四阅读(共4小题;每小题15分,满分6分)阅读下面短文，从短文后所给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)。     In the 19th century, millions of Europeans went to the USA because they wanted to find a better life.Many of them couldn’t find work in cities like New York.___37___The people, called settlers(殖民者)，travelld west through the mountains on the Oregon Trail.Some of these people hoped to find gold in California. The journey sometimes took more than one year. There are a lot of films, called Westerners, about the settler on the trail. In most of the films, we see the Native Americans (American Indians) attacking the settlers, and the“Indians” killing many white people. But the truth is that the Native Americans were not the biggest problem for the settlers.In fact, most of them were very helpful to the settlers.___38___ Many of them walked 3 200 kilometers, the whole length of the trail. They had wagons(马车),but the wagons were often too full, so people could not travel in them. ___39___The people were very poor and many did not even have shoes-they walked the whole trail barefoot, in very low temperatures.More than 50 000 people, including many women and children, died on the trail. A lot of people died of illnesses like cholera, because the drinking water wasn't clean.___40___Many people died under the wheels of wagons, or from accidental gunshots.A.It is true that the settlers journey was extremely difficult.B.Many parents also had to carry their small children.C.Many of them lost their home.D.They hoped they could make more money.E.There were also a lot of accidents.F.So they left and went to find farmland in the west.第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 共 34分)五、综合填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,在空白处填人1个适当的单词或用括号内单词的正确形式填空。A man found a cocoon(茧) of a butterfly.
