In an utsider’s eyes, China always enjys a fame fr enrmus creative inventins. Accrdingly, I fund myself in Mangling twnship in Luyang, Henan Prvince. I was t film a vide abut the three-wheeled vehicle industry. After multiple visits t factries with impressive utput, my directr suggested we make a randm visit t a rural area t interview the farmers wh ride the vehicles, which are called sanbengzi in Chinese. Her last-secnd idea brught me clser t a farm than I had been since childhd.
I remember when the rad t my hme was paved fr the first time and when the cmmunity debated whether r nt we shuld fix ur first stplight. The magic f the new replaced the dignity f the ld, as it did all crners f the United States. It was an easy change; the natin’s rts are shallw. My hmetwn has a histry f farming. We raised chickens and hrses. Family dgs barked at each ther frm acrss fenced yards, as the distance between hmes was a walk.
I felt hmesick in Mangling, surrunded by nutrient-dense earth. My cwrker went t talk with a farming cuple in a field. Our interviewee let me ride in the bed f her sanbengzi as I asked hw peple fund it. She just tld me that everyne in twn wned ne. Sme families even wned tw. Her jb was t drive farmers up and dwn rws f crps t shrten their travel time. Others rde arund cllecting the harvest t transprt it t strage, saving the farmers’ aching backs.
Alng the rad, I tried t listen t the wind and feel the sft sil beneath my shes. I thught abut the fd grwing all arund me and the strng hands cllecting it. They are the same hands that fed empires, the hands with which histry was written. Nw, they feed minds that innvate. Educated engineers devise electric sanbengzi. They create an enclsed versin with air cnditining and tuch screens fr cmfrtable travel. Surely enugh, China’s future will shine n what it stands nw.
24．Fr what purpse did the authr cme t Luyang?
A．T practise film-making.B．T explre China’s creativity.
C．T enjy the rural life.D．T interview vehicle makers.
25．What can we learn frm the authr’s mentining f his family?
A．One’s hmetwn is the best f all.B．Cuntry life is always memrable.
C．Mdernity fund its way int daily life.D．New technlgy benefited the cmmunity.
26．What is the authr’s purpse f writing the third paragraph?
A．T shw what sanbengzi means t the lcals.B．T display hw peple deal with sanbengzi.
C．T intrduce why the lcals like sanbengzi.D．T illustrate the purpse f transprtatin.
27．What des the authr imply in the last paragraph?
A．Only lcal farmers have strnger hands.B．Electric vehicles play a key rle in histry.

Sme mments in life bring full attentin t what’s imprtant — a birth, an anniversary, a jyful surprise, the frmatin r breakup f a relatinship, r the passing f a lved ne. They remind us that all wrldly happenings are impermanent and that the nly time we have is the present mment. One such event was the recent passing f ur dg, Tucker.
Tucker was an extrardinary family member wh frequently shwed mre human than dg characteristics. Fr example, he shwed affectin tward children and animals, he had a fantastic memry, and he tk particular delight in ding favrs like fetching shes, tidying up tys and s n.
Mst mrnings, we take ur dgs fr a walk alng cuntry rads. Tucker had a habit f walking alng fr a
while then cming t a cmplete, I-culdn’t-mve-him-if-I-tried full stp. At first, I felt annyed. “What are yu ding?” I’d ask him. “Cme n! Let’s mve!”
In my mind, I had places t g, things t d, and mre than a few tasks t cmplete. I culdn’t just stand there because Tucker wanted t take a few secnds… five minutes… ten minutes … t simply pause and take in his surrundings.
Until ne day, I wndered: “Why nt?” Fr many f us wh grew up befre the technlgy-filled age f cnstant busyness, free time included a lt f “ding nthing”. Kids culd just g ut and play, make up adventures, explre, lk thrugh cmic bks r magazines, and smetimes, just sit and think. There was space and freedm that prvided an pprtunity t becme cmfrtable with just being by urselves. We may nt have been able t put it int wrds, but we culd appreciate being in the mment fr its wn benefit. We fund bliss in play and the idea that “We have nthing t d and nwhere t g!”
I was lucky t have Tucker as my teacher thrugh his life and by his passing.
28．What is the authr’s purpse in writing the first paragraph?
A．T shw the temprariness f wrldly happenings.
B．T intrduce the imprtance f present mments.
C．T express sadness ver the passing f Tucker.
D．T describe varius life events.
29．Why did Tucker use t stp during walks?
A．He was waiting fr ther dgs.B．He was tired and needed t rest.
C．He wanted t take in his surrundings.D．He was unwilling t g fr a walk again.
30．What des the underlined wrd “bliss” in paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A．Disappintment.B．Happiness.C．Cnfusin.D．Anxiety.
31．What can we cnclude frm the text?
A．The authr regrets nt spending mre time with Tucker.
B．Tucker was a naughty dg wh ften annyed the authr.
C．Mdern technlgy has made peple busier and less happy.
D．The authr learned t appreciate the present mment frm Tucker.

Can large language mdels slve lgic puzzles? There’s ne way t find ut, which is t ask.
The puzzle in questin is cmmnly knwn as the “Cheryl’s birthday puzzle”. Cheryl challenges her friends Albert and Bernard t guess her birthday, and fr puzzle-reasns they knw it’s ne f 10 dates: May 15, 16 r 19; June 17 r 18; July 14 r 16; r August 14, 15 r 17. T speed up the guessing, Cheryl tells Albert her birth mnth, and tells Bernard the day f the mnth, but nt the mnth itself.
Albert and Bernard think fr a while. Then Albert annunces, “I dn’t knw yur birthday, and I knw that Bernard desn’t either.” Bernard replies, “In that case, I nw knw yur birthday.” Albert respnds, “Nw I knw yur birthday t.” What is Cheryl’s birthday? Mre t the pint, what d we learn by asking GPT-4?
The puzzle is a challenging ne. Slving it requires excluding pssibilities step by step while reflecting n questins such as “what is it that Albert must knw, given what he knws that Bernard des nt knw?” It is, therefre, hugely impressive that when we repeatedly asked GPT-4 t slve the puzzle, the large language mdel gt the answer right every time, fluently stating varied and accurate explanatins f the lgic f the prblem.
Yet this great perfrmance f lgical mastery was nthing mre than a clever illusin (错觉). The illusin fell apart when we asked the cmputer a slightly mdified (修改的) versin f the puzzle, changing the names f the characters and f the mnths.
GPT-4 cntinued t prduce fluent, reasnable explanatins f the lgic, s fluent, in fact, it takes real cncentratin t spt the mments when thse explanatins turn int nnsense. Bth the riginal prblem and its answer are available nline, s prbably the cmputer had learned t rephrase this text in a cmplicated way, giving the
appearance f a brilliant lgician.
32．What d we knw abut the “Cheryl’s birthday puzzle”?
A．Cheryl wants Albert and Bernard t guess easily.
B．Albert and Bernard knw the birthday at first.
C．There are t many dates t chse frm.
D．Slving the puzzle needs sme thught.
33．What des the authr think f GPT 4’s explanatins f the lgic?
A．They are kind f brilliant.B．They are thught as nnsense.
C．They are smetimes reasnable.D．They are t cmplicated t understand.
34．Why did GPT-4’s perfrmance turn ut t be an illusin?
A．GPT-4’s explanatins were nt fluent.
B．GPT-4 just rewrte available nline text.
C．GPT-4 didn’t understand the riginal puzzle.
D．GPT-4 culdn’t slve the mdified versin f the puzzle.
35．What des the text mainly talk abut?
A．The limitatins f large language mdels.B．The challenge f Cheryl’s birthday puzzle.
C．The magic f GPT-4 in slving puzzles.D．The secret f slving lgic puzzles.
