三、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，计30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中出最佳答案。

A

You probably choose calorie (卡路里) burning with training. You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises.

Running

Running is one of the best calorie burners out there. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 in one hour of running. Speed and pace are both important for calorie burning. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories.

High Intensity (强度) Interval Training (HIIT)

If you want intensity, HIIT is just for you. This physical exercise means working hard for a curtain period of time and then resting. Because your heart rate will stay at a high level, you'll burn more calories in less time. On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes.

Jumping rope

This childhood activity can actually do wonders for your health. Jumping rope is great for making the lower and upper body stronger while training your balance and coordination, because your mind has to work while you jump. Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour.

Swimming

Swimming is a low-intensity form of exercise that also uses muscle groups of your body. In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories. Swimming also helps to shape your body, control blood pressure, and increase strength—all great reasons for you to jump into the water.

Along with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, tea is considered one of the seven necessities for life in China. Now, it has also won global recognition as a shared cultural treasure of mankind.

On Nov. 29, Chinese traditional tea processing skills and their related social practices were added to the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list. Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea.

More importantly, China’s tea culture has formed Chinese customs. It is Chinese traditional custom that a host should welcome visiting guests with boiled tea. A poem by Song poet Du Lei reads, “I offer tea, not wine, to a guest on a cold night. When water boils on the stove, fire burns with flame bright.”

Boiling tea is one of the oldest Chinese tea brewing methods, dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618—907). Tea leaves were boiled for a long time and sometimes they were cooked together with different kinds of herbs and fruits. During this process, people can enjoy a quiet time. Later in the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644), a faster and more convenient method become more popular—steeping (冲泡).

________. On the app Xiaohongshu, or Little Red Book, there are over 40,000 posts on the topic of “stove-boiled tea” (围炉煮茶). They lightly roast tea leaves before boiling them in a teapot on a stove. People sit around the stove in a natural setting and have snacks with their hot tea. Some also wear traditional hanfu as if it could take them back to those ancient times. Through “stove-boiled tea”, people can taste a slower life and find their inner peace. As is written in one Xiaohongshu post, “It is very relaxing to drink hot tea, feel the fall breeze, and chat with best friends.”

34．The writer introduces the topic by ________.

A．asking questions B．listing numbers

C．telling stories D．stating facts

35．We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.

A．Du Lei is a great poet in Tang-Dynasty

36．The best sentence to fill in the blank in the last paragraph is “________”.

A．Let’s try the old method of boiling tea in spare time

B．These days, the old method is making a comeback

C．Chinese invented many different ways of drinking tea

D．Therefore, it is a good choice to drink tea with friends

37．The writer writes this passage to ________.

A．introduce a popular way of making tea, “stove-boiled tea”

B．invite more and more people around the world to visit China

C．call on the young to learn more about Chinese traditional tea

D．show how popular and interesting the app Xiaohongshu is

ChatGPT, a smart AI chat-bot（聊天机器人）tool, has swept the education world in the past months. According to a US survey of more than 1, 000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with a homework task.

Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT is a powerful tool. You can ask it to write stories and emails, create food menu, translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions.

Some schools in the US, Australia and France have banned（禁止）the use of ChatGPT. In the US, for example, New York City public schools banned students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the district’s networks and devices（设备）, CNN reported.

The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat（作弊）on study. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread wrong information.

“It does not build critical-thinking（批判性思维）and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for academic（学术的）and lifelong success,” said Jenna Lyle, the deputy press secretary of the New York City Department of Education.

Apart from bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to stop the use of ChatGPT. Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones, The New York Times reported.

However, not all educators say “no” to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are drafting （起草）policies on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to completely ban the tool so far.

Bhaskar Vira, headmaster for education at the University of Cambridge in the UK, said that bans on AI software like ChatGPT are not wise. “We have to know that AI is a tool people will use,” he told Varsity, the school newspaper of the university. What we need to do is “adapt（调整）our learning, teaching and examinations”. That way, we can “have integrity（诚信）while recognizing（辨认）the use of the tool”.

41．Some schools in the US banned the use of ChatGPT because ________.

A．students may use it to cheat on homework B．it rarely provides correct information

C．it takes the place of teachers D．it takes up most of the district’s networks

42．Jenna Lyle thinks that ________.

A．ChatGPT is necessary for academic and lifelong success

B．using ChatGPT is not good for developing students’ minds

C．ChatGPT is so far the smartest AI chat-bot tool

D．ChatGPT might offer the wrong information

43．What did the educators in the US do to avoid the use of ChatGPT?

a. They stopped students’ use of the tool.

b. They learned to recognize papers written by ChatGPT.

c. They changed the forms of assignment（作业）.

d. They suggested laws to ban the use of ChatGPT.

A．ab B．ac C．bc D．cd

44．Which opinion is NOT mentioned in the story?

A．Using ChatGPT makes students lazy in thinking.

B．The complete ban on using ChatGPT is not wise.

C．ChatGPT will completely change present education.

D．ChatGPT may be used for both teachers and students.

45．The passage is probably from ________.

A．Sports and fitness B．Health and diet

C．Cultural exchange D．Science and education

（一）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息每空一词。（共10小题，每小题1分，计10分）

Exams are a fact of school life for most people. Almost everyone worries about them and feels stressed, although they have prepared well.

A little stress caused by the exams is useful as it can sharpen your mind and motivate（激发）you to do well. But too much stress can stop you working to the best of your abilities, so it’s important not to let it get out of control. Here are some ideas to help you.

The keys to being prepared for exams and avoiding unnecessary exam stress are knowing what you need to know, planning and preparing for your revision（复习）, and giving yourself enough time to do it.

If you can, find a copy of the syllabus for each subject. This tells you what you need to know and gives you the topics for revision.

Make a week-by-week revision timetable chart to display in your work space. Include the topics you need to cover for each subject.

About 12 weeks before your first exam, record the dates and times for each of your exams in your planner or diary and make a copy to put on your wall at home.

During your exam period, you want your brain to work at its very best, so build in relaxation time before bed, avoid late night revision sessions and try to go to bed early so you get enough sleep. If panic（惊慌）starts to creep in, try to replace your negative thoughts with more positive（积极的）ones, such as ‘It’s going to be OK? If you have difficulty answering a question, leave it and move on to the next one—don’t spend time tying yourself in mental（思想上的）knots over each question.

You are not alone while dealing with the stress. Call psychological（心理的）hotline to share your worries and get help from others going through the same experience. Remember that there is life after exams. Things may feel stressful right now, but it won’t last forever. And then the rest of your life will still be there.

（二）阅读并回答问题。（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分）

Labor (劳动) education has been made a part of compulsory education (义务教育). Many students have one course every week on basic household (家庭的) skills such as cleaning and cooking. What do the public think of it?

Li Mei, a student in Beijing

We spend most of the time studying and have little time to develop our interests. A household skill class can give us chances to experience more aspects (方面) of life and help us discover different interests.

Mrs. Chen, a housewife in Hubei

Cooking classes are necessary. Children should be taught how to cook properly. And I think it’s a job for both teachers and parents.

Mr. Wang, a teacher in Shandong

We teach children basic household skills in order to help them learn how to take care of themselves. It’s impossible for their parents to help with every problem they meet in their life. They need to learn to solve problems by themselves and grow from their experiences.

Wu Lei, an engineer in Shanghai

I learned some basic cooking skills from my mother when I was a little boy. But most of them were learned after I graduated from the university, from online short videos. Household skills are very useful in our daily life. I hope these classes will really make the students realize that labor is important and valuable.
