Towns across Italy have been racing to launch clever plans aimed at attracting new residents to revive
(复兴)their fortunes in recent years. From abandoned homes selling for little more than a euro, to ready-
to-occupy houses at knockdown prices, there has been a rush of competition.
The picturesque town of Presicce in the sunny region of Puglia is the latest to enter the game with a
very tempting offer. Officials say they will pay people up to 30,000 euros to buy an empty house and take
up residency. Even better, the houses up for sale as part of the deal are priced from around 25,000 euros.
Authorities in Presicce hope the cash motivation will breathe new life into their depopulating town,
where newborns are fewer each year.
Presicce dates back to the middle Ages, flourishing during the Renaissance as a prosperous place
known for its fine wine, cheeses and cattle trade. It gains a reputation as Puglia’s “town of green gold” for
green olive trees and olive oil. Its location is incredible, surrounded by the nature of the Salento area and
close to beautiful beaches and clear waters of Santa Maria di Leuca.
“There are many empty homes in the historical center built before 1991 which we would like to see
alive again with new residents,” says local councilor Alfredo Palese. It is a pity witnessing how our old
districts full of history, wonderful architecture and art are slowly emptying. The details of the deal are
currently being finalized, Palese adds, and authorities are ready to launch applications in upcoming weeks
when information will be available on the town hall website.
According to Palese, a 2019 merger (合并)with the nearby town Acquarica to create the larger town
Presicce-Acquarica has provided them with extra money to ensure the project can continue for years to
come. “After the merger, as per Italian law, our wider territory will be blessed with more public funds,
roughly 1,000,000 euros per year for several years forward, which we intend to invest to revitalize (振兴)
the old district, ” says Palese.
Together, Presicce and Acquarica now have some 9,000 inhabitants, but only half of the population
live in the older part of the community.
The town hall has already launched other plans to attract more residents, including tax benefits to set
up new business activities and baby bonuses for families with kids.
24. What problem do many Italian towns face according to the text?
A. Population decline. B. Financial crisis.
25. What does the underlined word “tempting” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Risky. B. Informal. C. Attractive.
C. Falling tourism.
D. High living cost.
D. Conditional.
26. What is the purpose of paragraph 4?
A. To show Presicce’s past glory.
B. To recommend a travel destination.
C. To point out the economy of Presicce.
27. What is the text mainly about?
D To stress the importance of reviving Presicce.

ChatGPT, designed by Open AI 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.
28. 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.
29. What makes ChatGPT helpful to research various topics?
A. Its capability of information processing.
C. Its availability of up-to-date data.
B. Its accurate information.
D. Its vast body of questions.
30. Why do ChatGPT users have to be cautious when using it?
A. ChatGPT is unable to think itself.
B. ChatGPT lacks creativity.
D. ChatGPT is not properly trained.
C. ChatGPT offers illogical information.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards ChatGPT?
A. Favorable.
B. Disapproving.
C. Objective.
D. Intolerant.

Online thrift（节俭）store thredUP has released its tenth annual Resale Report. The study, which
assesses trends in the secondhand clothing industry, has an obviously positive tone. Resale is booming in
the United States, as well as globally, and the secondhand market in the US is expected to more than
double by 2026, reaching an impressive valuation of $82 billion.
This is serious growth that indicates a real shift in the way people approach shopping for clothes.
For most, it’s a way to save money in an inflationary（通货膨胀） economy. Forty-four percent of
shoppers say they're cutting back on buying clothing-more than any category apart from restaurants.
Some say secondhand is enabling them to keep enjoying the brands they love.
When choosing what to buy, people are increasingly careful about what can be resold. More than
2022-2023学年（下）高二年期中考试英语试卷 8-4

There is no short cut in learning.学习没有捷径可走。
one-fifth of Gen Z（网络新生代）shoppers said they’ll pay more for an item that they know they can
resell, and 36% of Gen Z shoppers stock and clear their closets at the same monthly or weekly rate. More
than half resold clothing last year. As resale becomes more accessible thanks to mobile technology and
online platforms, increasing numbers of customers are keen to turn over their closets, which fuels the
industry and keeps the market full of fresh finds, bringing people back for more.
Secondhand helps to relieve people's climate-related concerns. Thrifting is far better for the
environment than buying new. As thredUP reported in 2021, buying used reduces an item's carbon
footprint by 82%. Choosing used over new displaces 17.4 pounds of CO2 emissions. It requires far less
water and energy to produce, and it spares that item from going to landfill, where it will break down and
give off methane, a greenhouse gas more powerful than CO2.
It's great to hear such positive news. Thrifting is a no-brainer, when you stop to think about
it-well-made and good-looking fashion that helps the planet while saving us money. The more
mainstream it can get, the better off we'll all be.
32. What does the booming of resale mean to most shoppers according to the text?
A. Reducing expenses.
B. Bringing down inflation.
C. Focusing less on brands.
D. Eating out more in restaurants.
33. What promotes the development of the resale industry?
A. Scientific development makes resale easier and more convenient.
B. Many Gen Z shoppers choose used over new.
C. Buying used has become a mainstream.
D. Cleaning the closets is more frequent.
34. What's the author's attitude to the resale of secondhand clothing?
A. Disapproving.
B. Doubtful.
C. Objective.
D. favorable
35. What's the best title for the text?
A. Secondhand Clothing Improves Climate
C. ThredUP Released A New Resale Report
第二节 (共 5小题;每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5分)
B. Secondhand Market Benefits Americans
D. Secondhand Clothing Is A Hot Market

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。
I looked around at the other patients waiting to see the doctor. Maybe they all had more romantic
plans for the evening on this Valentine’s Day, but for now the group seemed anti-social. Three people had
their heads down, staring at cell phones. Another was absorbed in a magazine. The receptionist tapped at
her computer. Everyone was in their own little world.
But I couldn’t judge them for it. I would probably be buried in my cell phone too—if I hadn’t
forgotten to charge it before I left home. It would have been nice to strike up a conversation to pass the
time on this day, a day of love and friendship. Instead I sat patiently in my plastic chair as a couple of
new people took distant seats.
“Roberta? The doctor’s ready for you,” the nurse called. At least I’ll have some kind of human
connection, I thought.
My checkup went well, and I breezed out of the office to my little Honda in a space right out front. I
got in and tured the key. Nothing. Oh, no. Not again. I’d sent the car to the garage several times already
for this very problem and thought it had finally been fixed.
I reached for my cell phone to call AAA — then remembered. It was dead, like my car. I would have
to use the phone inside. A few people glanced up when I came back into the waiting room, then quickly
went back to what they were doing. I went straight to the reception desk, but the receptionist was not
there. So I tured back to the people in the waiting room.
“I wouldn’t normally do this,” I said to the group, hoping that I sounded apologetic. Several people
tured toward me to listen. “But my car won’t start …”
The nurse popped her head into the room. “You in trouble, Roberta?” she said. “I’ll go and take a
look.” I followed the nurse outside. As I passed through the door, I felt someone was behind me.
注意：1.续写词数应为 150左右;
