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.

7、What is the author’s attitude towards ChatGPT?
A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Objective. D. Intolerant.
“You need to sign this,” my son Joe informed me. “What is it?” I asked. Rolling his eyes with a sense of impatience, Joe replied, “Your permission. And it’s due tomorrow!”
I learned that Joe’s sixth-grade class would be taking a field trip to the state capital. “That sounds like fun,” I said. “I’ve always wanted to go there.” “You can’t come!” Joe answered. Puzzled, I asked. “Why not?” “Because you always come on field trips!”
Of course, I always joined his class on field trips. Being a chaperone (监护人) on a field trip is one of the advantages that comes with being a mom, a vacation day in a carcer that offers few opportunities for a change of scenery. “You don’t want me to be a chaperone?” “Give someone else’s mom a chance,” he suggested. What was surprising was how much I minded being so impolitely removed from the short list of willing chaperones by my own son.
When Joe was in kindergarten, his class planned a pretend trip to Norway. The day before the trip, Joe woke up not feeling well.
After learning that he didn’t have a fever, I asked, “You don’t want to miss getting ready for the trip to Norway, do you?” “I guess not,” he said.
But when I picked him up at the end of the day, the teacher whispered, “Joe got a little upset today.” “What happened?” “He doesn’t want to go to Norway without you.” So that was what had been bothering my 5-year-old. He thought his class was really flying to Norway on their wooden chairs in their paper airplane. He believed those passports and tickets he and his classmates had been making were the real deal.
Preadolescence fell upon my family as my husband and I found ourselves preparing for our son’s upcoming teen years with the same trepidation as someone about to climb an ice-covered mountain wearing high heels.
Joe needed to take a field trip without me accompanying him. And I needed to let him. I’m glad he doesn’t need me all the time.
8、What did the author really mind?
A. The additional responsibilities as a mom.
B. Being denied rudely by her son as a chaperone.
C. Having missed the chance to visit the state capital.

A. His going to Norway without his mom.
B. The occurrence of his fever on the journey.
C. His fear of the paper airplane’s crashing down.
D. The loss of his passport and ticket.
10、What does the underlined word “trepidation” in Paragraph 7 probably mean?
A. Excitement. B. Expectation. C. Nervousness. D. Determination.
11、What did the author realize about Joe at last?
A. He hated being controlled by parents.
B. He was longing for his parents’ love.
C. He was unwilling to obey rules.
D. He was becoming less dependent.
A new experiment shows that the more energy consumed by a clock, the more accurate its timekeeping.
Clocks consume energy and release heat. A kitchen clock, for example, does this by using up its battery. Generally the most accurate clocks require the most energy, which suggests a fundamental connect ion between energy consumption and accuracy. This is what an international team of scientists from Lancaster. Oxford, and Vienna set out to test.
To do this, they built a particularly simple clock, consisting of a super-thin membrane (薄膜). combined with an electronic circuit. Each vibration (振动) of the membrane generated one electrical tick (滴答). The inventive aspect of this design is that it is powered simply by heating the membrane, while the complete flow of energy through the clock can be measured electrically.
The scientists found that the more heat they supplied, the more accurately the clock ran. In fact, the accuracy was directly relative to the heat released. To make the clock twice as accurate, they needed to supply twice as much heat.
The experiment shows a similarity between the operation of a clock and a steam engine. With a steam engine there is fundamental restriction on how much heat we must supply to do a desired amount of work. This restriction is the famous-Second Law of Thermodynamics (热力学) which is central to modern engineering. What this experiment suggests is that clocks, like engines, are restricted by the Second Law, with their output being accurate ticks instead of mechanical work.
Dr Edward Laird of Lancaster University said: “This experiment suggests that clocks are also restricted by thermodynamics. It also poses an interesting question: are all possible clocks limited in this way, or is it just a characteristic of the ones we have studied?”
Interestingly, many everyday clocks have an efficiency that is close to what the scientists’ analysis predicts. For example, their analysis predicts that a wristwatch whose accuracy per tick is one part in ten million must consume at least a microwatt of power. In fact, a basic wristwatch usually consumes only a few times this amount. The laws of thermodynamics, discovered in the nineteenth century, are still finding new applications today.
12、What do the scientists want to test about clocks?
A. How energy influences their accuracy.
B. Whether to restrict their heat supply.
C. How to make them particularly simple.
D. Whether they are similar to steam engines.
13、In what way do clocks work differently from steam engines according to the experiment?
A. The restriction from the Second Law. B. The form of their output.
C. The accuracy of their work. D. The law behind their operation.
14、What will Dr Edward Laird most likely agree with?
A. Further studies should be done.
B. More questions should be raised.
C. Restrictions on clocks should be lifted.
D. Suggestions of the experiment should be adopted.
15、What is the article mainly about?
A. The Second Law of Thermodynamics. B. A new experiment.
C. The energy consumption of clocks. D. A simple clock.
二、七选五
16、Do you often find it difficult to concentrate if you are not interested in what you are learning or if you have better things to think about? ①______ However, understanding how to do it, and knowing what is distracting you, can help.
Scientists have looked at what makes us procrastinate and found a number of ways to help us stay in the zone. ②______ Research by Science Focus magazine found silence is best for concentration, or a gentic background hum and coffee shop noise is great! It also found turning off notifications on your phone, or switching it off altogether, removes a major distraction and helps us focus on the task at hand.
Another possible cure for a short attention span is brain training. Psychologists and neuroscientists are increasingly interested in our ability to knuckle down and have looked at what we can change inside our head to make us concentrate. Attention Researcher Nilli Lavie of University College London has found that making a task more visually demanding takes up more processing power and leaves the brain nothing left to process distractions. ③______
There are more practical tips to keeping your mind focused. ④______ Chewing some gum may also help! It’s possible the movement in your mouth occupies parts of the brain that might otherwise get distracted.
But according to Science Focus magazine, distraction isn’t all bad. If we were always so focused that we never got distracted, we’d miss potential changes, such as threats in our environment. ⑤______
A. Distraction is vital for survival.
B. One of the most obvious things is climinating (消除) noise.
C. Therefore, brain training can effectively shorten an attention span.
D. These include making a list of what you have to do or finding a quiet workspace.
E. Staying focused can be a great challenge.
F. So, keeping your mind busy might be the answer.
G. Distraction is equally as important as concentration.
三、完形填空（15空）
This year, I made 1 my mind that it would be a (n) 2 cleaning and we tried to rid our house of years’ of accumulated (堆积的) stuff.
The stuff was everywhere in our house, lining the walls, filling the shelves and 3 the closets (壁橱). I couldn’t remember how I got some of it, but I knew I wanted it 4 now. The stuff was messing up not only my home but also my 5 , not bringing me any bit of 6 .
Then we got down to cleaning. It turned out to be a 7 job. Twenty-year-old bills and receipts were thrown in the trash bin. Outdated 8 were cleared from file cabinets. Broken bowls and damaged handcrafts also found their 9 straight to the trash as well. Unworn clothes and unused pans were packed up to be donated to the local charity. Old books were 10 up to be passed onto others to read and enjoy.
In spite of days’ hard work, it 11 that I was able to walk through a much tidier home.
More importantly, I felt mentally 12 than over before, which was beyond my expectation. Cleaning is like the metabolism (新陈代谢) in the body, we need to 13 keep what works for us and push out what doesn’t.
Therefore, we need to take 14 off our minds and bodies from time to time and to just focus on what really matters to us. We can regain a free life by cutting down material things and adding 15 ones.

32、Ever think you’re getting enough sleep only to wake up tired? I’m not you-it happens to the best of us. Recently, scientists say they ①________(discover) the secret to waking up clear-headed and ②________ (refresh) each and every morning.
According to a new study from the University of California, Berkeley, ③________ (publish) in Nature Communications, beyond sleep quality, the second main feature ④________ (predict) day-to-day changes in morning alertness (机敏) is the intensity of physical activity the day before. In particular, researchers have found that when the extent of an individual’s physical activity is comparatively greater the day before, people feel more alert the next morning.
Another factor happens not on the day before or even the night before. It is ⑤________ participants consume for breakfast that explains their alertness levels. When ⑥________ (individual) consume the “high carbs” breakfast, they experience higher levels of alertness.
Beyond the effects of the high carbohydrate meal itself, one of the ⑦________ (strong) outcomes shown in the study is the marked reduction in alertness on days when participants consume a lot of sugar. It may sound paradoxical (自相矛盾的) that a lot of sugar predicts ⑧________ decline in altrtnews and the high carbs breakfast is linked to an ⑨________ (enhance) in alertness. However, ⑩________ their similar high carbohydrate content, there are key nutritional (营养的) differences between the high-carb and sugar meals.

六、读后续写
34、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-篇完整的短文。
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch very obvious scar (伤疤) on her arm, "Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not notice it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn't matter to you. "
It never occurred to me that something like this would happen to my son years later. Sending a child off to college can certainly be stressful for concerned parents. It was 2018 that my son went off to college. He rarely contacted us. I couldn't help asking about other aspects, which sometimes made him complain that I didn't treat him as an adult.
To be honest, my son is excellent. Some of my friends always tell me that they admire my son's characters and they hope their sons could have some of them.
Unexpectedly, it was 4 o' clock in the morning in 2020, when I received the phone call. "This is the emergency room calling and your son was just brought in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for an aircraft and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle." Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was serious.
The doctor described the reason, which caused the burns. At 6 am, my son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they lit the charcoal, it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline. The flames caught my son's shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.
Fortunately, one of the boys who was quick-minded grasped my son and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in shape to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars.
After he recovered from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery for 6 months because it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling.
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。
The doctors suggested he return to college with scars of severe burns temporarily.
_______________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________
So I told him about Nancy's childhood.

解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要是探讨在日常 生活中如何保持清醒，着重讲述了身体活动和饮食对清晨警觉度的影响。
①考查时态和主谓一致。句意：最近，科学家称他们已经发现了每天早晨清 醒、精神焕发的秘诀。设空处为谓语，根据 时间状语Recently，可知应用现在完成时， 主语they，谓语用复数形式，故填have discovered。
②考查形容词。句意：同上。设空处和clear-headed并列表示醒来时的状态，都应用形容词作状语，故填refreshed。
③考查过去分词。句意：根据加州 大学伯克利分校发表在《自然通讯》上的一 项新研究，除了睡眠质量之外，预测早晨警觉性变化的第二个主要特征是前一天的体育 活动强度。设空处是非谓语动词，修饰名词 a new study作定语，和名词之间是被动关 系，应用过去分词，故填published。

⑧考查冠词。句意：很多糖预示着 睡眠减少，而高碳水化合物早餐与提高警觉 性有关，这听起来可能有些矛盾。设空处修 饰名词decline，应用冠词表泛指，decline以 辅音音素开头，故填a。
⑨考查名词。句意：同上。设空处 前有an，所以应用名词单数形式作宾语，故 填enhancement。
⑩考查介词。句意：然而，尽管它们的碳水化合物含量相似，但高碳水化合物餐和含糖餐之间存在关键的营养差异。设空处接名词，应用介词，表示让步，故填 despite。
33、答案：
Dear Sam,
Knowing that you’re interested in Chinese culture, especially Tang poetry, I am writing to give a brief introduction about it. Tang poetry, representing the traditional Chinese culture, is a very important literary form which enjoys great popularity in China.
As the golden age of poems, the Tang Dynasty produced many outstanding poets, among whom Li Bai, Du Fu, and Bai Juyi were the most well-known in history. When it comes to studying poems, you’d better grasp the meaning firstly, and then try to recite the whole poem. If you choose the right method and work hard, your learning ability can be improved.
Welcome to China and I’m looking forward to your view about the Tang poems.
Yours,
Li Hua

34、答案：
The doctors suggested he return to college with scars of severe burns temporarily. Although I knew that there were going to be storms in life, it was hard for me to imagine that a handsome and sunny boy would return to his classmates with scars. I really didn't know how to comfort him. After all, the scars were on him. Not all of us could be able to tum that particular page successfully. It was at this time that I remembered, what my mother said to my sister. It was those words that enabled her to overcome her psychological barriers and lead a smooth life.
So I told him about Nancy's childhood. I passed the wisdom on to my son. Realizing my complex feelings, he smiled and comforted me instead. He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head held high. By the end of the six month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter. So he made the decision to give up any plastic surgery. We all have "scars" that we believe will keep people away from us. Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
解析：本文是以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者小时候听到母亲告诉妹妹南希要以乐观的态度去面对自己的伤疤，而作者儿子也经历烧伤事故而留下伤疤，作者把妹妹的经历告诉自己的儿子鼓励他勇敢面对。从故事中感悟我们学会把不完美抛诸脑后,专注于自己看重的东西，自己的美丽就会散发光芒。

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.
4、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.
5、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.

7、What is the author’s attitude towards ChatGPT?
A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Objective. D. Intolerant.
“You need to sign this,” my son Joe informed me. “What is it?” I asked. Rolling his eyes with a sense of impatience, Joe replied, “Your permission. And it’s due tomorrow!”
I learned that Joe’s sixth-grade class would be taking a field trip to the state capital. “That sounds like fun,” I said. “I’ve always wanted to go there.” “You can’t come!” Joe answered. Puzzled, I asked. “Why not?” “Because you always come on field trips!”
Of course, I always joined his class on field trips. Being a chaperone (监护人) on a field trip is one of the advantages that comes with being a mom, a vacation day in a carcer that offers few opportunities for a change of scenery. “You don’t want me to be a chaperone?” “Give someone else’s mom a chance,” he suggested. What was surprising was how much I minded being so impolitely removed from the short list of willing chaperones by my own son.
When Joe was in kindergarten, his class planned a pretend trip to Norway. The day before the trip, Joe woke up not feeling well.
After learning that he didn’t have a fever, I asked, “You don’t want to miss getting ready for the trip to Norway, do you?” “I guess not,” he said.
But when I picked him up at the end of the day, the teacher whispered, “Joe got a little upset today.” “What happened?” “He doesn’t want to go to Norway without you.” So that was what had been bothering my 5-year-old. He thought his class was really flying to Norway on their wooden chairs in their paper airplane. He believed those passports and tickets he and his classmates had been making were the real deal.
Preadolescence fell upon my family as my husband and I found ourselves preparing for our son’s upcoming teen years with the same trepidation as someone about to climb an ice-covered mountain wearing high heels.
Joe needed to take a field trip without me accompanying him. And I needed to let him. I’m glad he doesn’t need me all the time.
8、What did the author really mind?
A. The additional responsibilities as a mom.
B. Being denied rudely by her son as a chaperone.
C. Having missed the chance to visit the state capital.
D. Being asked by her son to sign a permission.
9、What made Joe upset when he was five years old?
A. His going to Norway without his mom.
B. The occurrence of his fever on the journey.
C. His fear of the paper airplane’s crashing down.
D. The loss of his passport and ticket.
10、What does the underlined word “trepidation” in Paragraph 7 probably mean?
A. Excitement. B. Expectation. C. Nervousness. D. Determination.
11、What did the author realize about Joe at last?
A. He hated being controlled by parents.
B. He was longing for his parents’ love.
C. He was unwilling to obey rules.
D. He was becoming less dependent.
A new experiment shows that the more energy consumed by a clock, the more accurate its timekeeping.
Clocks consume energy and release heat. A kitchen clock, for example, does this by using up its battery. Generally the most accurate clocks require the most energy, which suggests a fundamental connect ion between energy consumption and accuracy. This is what an international team of scientists from Lancaster. Oxford, and Vienna set out to test.
To do this, they built a particularly simple clock, consisting of a super-thin membrane (薄膜). combined with an electronic circuit. Each vibration (振动) of the membrane generated one electrical tick (滴答). The inventive aspect of this design is that it is powered simply by heating the membrane, while the complete flow of energy through the clock can be measured electrically.
The scientists found that the more heat they supplied, the more accurately the clock ran. In fact, the accuracy was directly relative to the heat released. To make the clock twice as accurate, they needed to supply twice as much heat.
The experiment shows a similarity between the operation of a clock and a steam engine. With a steam engine there is fundamental restriction on how much heat we must supply to do a desired amount of work. This restriction is the famous-Second Law of Thermodynamics (热力学) which is central to modern engineering. What this experiment suggests is that clocks, like engines, are restricted by the Second Law, with their output being accurate ticks instead of mechanical work.
Dr Edward Laird of Lancaster University said: “This experiment suggests that clocks are also restricted by thermodynamics. It also poses an interesting question: are all possible clocks limited in this way, or is it just a characteristic of the ones we have studied?”
Interestingly, many everyday clocks have an efficiency that is close to what the scientists’ analysis predicts. For example, their analysis predicts that a wristwatch whose accuracy per tick is one part in ten million must consume at least a microwatt of power. In fact, a basic wristwatch usually consumes only a few times this amount. The laws of thermodynamics, discovered in the nineteenth century, are still finding new applications today.
12、What do the scientists want to test about clocks?
A. How energy influences their accuracy.
B. Whether to restrict their heat supply.
C. How to make them particularly simple.
D. Whether they are similar to steam engines.
13、In what way do clocks work differently from steam engines according to the experiment?
A. The restriction from the Second Law. B. The form of their output.
C. The accuracy of their work. D. The law behind their operation.
14、What will Dr Edward Laird most likely agree with?
A. Further studies should be done.
B. More questions should be raised.
C. Restrictions on clocks should be lifted.
D. Suggestions of the experiment should be adopted.
15、What is the article mainly about?
A. The Second Law of Thermodynamics. B. A new experiment.
C. The energy consumption of clocks. D. A simple clock.
二、七选五
16、Do you often find it difficult to concentrate if you are not interested in what you are learning or if you have better things to think about? ①______ However, understanding how to do it, and knowing what is distracting you, can help.
Scientists have looked at what makes us procrastinate and found a number of ways to help us stay in the zone. ②______ Research by Science Focus magazine found silence is best for concentration, or a gentic background hum and coffee shop noise is great! It also found turning off notifications on your phone, or switching it off altogether, removes a major distraction and helps us focus on the task at hand.
Another possible cure for a short attention span is brain training. Psychologists and neuroscientists are increasingly interested in our ability to knuckle down and have looked at what we can change inside our head to make us concentrate. Attention Researcher Nilli Lavie of University College London has found that making a task more visually demanding takes up more processing power and leaves the brain nothing left to process distractions. ③______
There are more practical tips to keeping your mind focused. ④______ Chewing some gum may also help! It’s possible the movement in your mouth occupies parts of the brain that might otherwise get distracted.
But according to Science Focus magazine, distraction isn’t all bad. If we were always so focused that we never got distracted, we’d miss potential changes, such as threats in our environment. ⑤______
A. Distraction is vital for survival.
B. One of the most obvious things is climinating (消除) noise.
C. Therefore, brain training can effectively shorten an attention span.
D. These include making a list of what you have to do or finding a quiet workspace.
E. Staying focused can be a great challenge.
F. So, keeping your mind busy might be the answer.
G. Distraction is equally as important as concentration.

六、读后续写
34、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-篇完整的短文。
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch very obvious scar (伤疤) on her arm, "Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not notice it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn't matter to you. "
It never occurred to me that something like this would happen to my son years later. Sending a child off to college can certainly be stressful for concerned parents. It was 2018 that my son went off to college. He rarely contacted us. I couldn't help asking about other aspects, which sometimes made him complain that I didn't treat him as an adult.
To be honest, my son is excellent. Some of my friends always tell me that they admire my son's characters and they hope their sons could have some of them.
Unexpectedly, it was 4 o' clock in the morning in 2020, when I received the phone call. "This is the emergency room calling and your son was just brought in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for an aircraft and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle." Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was serious.
The doctor described the reason, which caused the burns. At 6 am, my son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they lit the charcoal, it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline. The flames caught my son's shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.
Fortunately, one of the boys who was quick-minded grasped my son and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in shape to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars.
After he recovered from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery for 6 months because it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling.
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。
The doctors suggested he return to college with scars of severe burns temporarily.
_______________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________

32、答案：①have discovered②refreshed③published④predicting⑤what⑥individuals⑦strongest⑧a⑨enhancement⑩despite
解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要是探讨在日常 生活中如何保持清醒，着重讲述了身体活动和饮食对清晨警觉度的影响。
①考查时态和主谓一致。句意：最近，科学家称他们已经发现了每天早晨清 醒、精神焕发的秘诀。设空处为谓语，根据 时间状语Recently，可知应用现在完成时， 主语they，谓语用复数形式，故填have discovered。
②考查形容词。句意：同上。设空处和clear-headed并列表示醒来时的状态，都应用形容词作状语，故填refreshed。
③考查过去分词。句意：根据加州 大学伯克利分校发表在《自然通讯》上的一 项新研究，除了睡眠质量之外，预测早晨警觉性变化的第二个主要特征是前一天的体育 活动强度。设空处是非谓语动词，修饰名词 a new study作定语，和名词之间是被动关 系，应用过去分词，故填published。
④考查现在分词。句意：同上。设 空处为谓语动词，修饰名词the second main feature，和名词之间是主动关系，应用现在 分词作定语，故填predicting。
⑤考查主语从句。句意：正是参与 者早餐吃的东西解释了他们的警觉性水平。 本句中It is...that为强调句，去掉强调句可知 设空处连接主语从句，在从句中作宾语，意 为“……的东西”，故填what。

⑧考查冠词。句意：很多糖预示着 睡眠减少，而高碳水化合物早餐与提高警觉 性有关，这听起来可能有些矛盾。设空处修 饰名词decline，应用冠词表泛指，decline以 辅音音素开头，故填a。
⑨考查名词。句意：同上。设空处 前有an，所以应用名词单数形式作宾语，故 填enhancement。
⑩考查介词。句意：然而，尽管它们的碳水化合物含量相似，但高碳水化合物餐和含糖餐之间存在关键的营养差异。设空处接名词，应用介词，表示让步，故填 despite。
33、答案：
Dear Sam,
Knowing that you’re interested in Chinese culture, especially Tang poetry, I am writing to give a brief introduction about it. Tang poetry, representing the traditional Chinese culture, is a very important literary form which enjoys great popularity in China.
As the golden age of poems, the Tang Dynasty produced many outstanding poets, among whom Li Bai, Du Fu, and Bai Juyi were the most well-known in history. When it comes to studying poems, you’d better grasp the meaning firstly, and then try to recite the whole poem. If you choose the right method and work hard, your learning ability can be improved.
Welcome to China and I’m looking forward to your view about the Tang poems.
Yours,
Li Hua

34、答案：
The doctors suggested he return to college with scars of severe burns temporarily. Although I knew that there were going to be storms in life, it was hard for me to imagine that a handsome and sunny boy would return to his classmates with scars. I really didn't know how to comfort him. After all, the scars were on him. Not all of us could be able to tum that particular page successfully. It was at this time that I remembered, what my mother said to my sister. It was those words that enabled her to overcome her psychological barriers and lead a smooth life.
So I told him about Nancy's childhood. I passed the wisdom on to my son. Realizing my complex feelings, he smiled and comforted me instead. He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head held high. By the end of the six month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter. So he made the decision to give up any plastic surgery. We all have "scars" that we believe will keep people away from us. Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
