Helen Thayer, one of the greatest explorers of the 20th century, loves challenges. She says, “I like to see what’s on the other side of the hill.” She has gone almost everywhere to do that.
In 1988, at the age of 50, she became the first woman to travel alone to the North Pole. She pulled her own sled piled with 160 pounds of supplies, and during her trip no one brought her fresh supplies. Accompanied only by her dog Charlie, she survived cold weather and meetings with polar bears. In fact, Charlie saved her life when one of them attacked her. Near the end of her trip, a forceful wind blew away the majority of her supplies. The last week of the trip, she survived on a handful of nuts and a little water each day.
Helen goes to challenging places not only for adventure, but also for education. Before her Arctic journey, she started a website called Adventure Classroom. On the site, she shares her adventures in order to motivate (激发) students. She explains, “Although kids often see the world in a negative way, without hope for their future, we work to inspire them to set goals, plan for success and never give up.”
Helen grew up in New Zealand. Her parents were athletes and mountain climbers. Following her parents’ example, she climbed her first mountain at 9. Later, she climbed the highest mountains in North and South America, the former USSR and New Zealand.
In 1996, she took on another challenge — the Sahara Desert. She and her husband, Bill, walked 2,400 miles across it! In 2001, she and Bill traveled on foot from west to east through the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. They hope to travel to Sichuan and Tibet in China to study pandas this year.
Helen plans to continue taking trips. She’ll use her explorations, writing, photography and environmental work to create programs for her Adventure Classroom website. She wants to inspire her students never to stop facing challenges!
4. What can we learn from paragraph 2

C. Charlie prevented Helen from being attacked by a polar bear.
D. Helen Thayer traveled to the North Pole together with her husband.

In today’s digital age when you can get information quickly, there is a concern about children developing an appreciation for reading printed books. That’s why communities in Australia have come up with a way to convey a love of books in the younger generations.
To solve this problem, communities are bringing libraries to where the kids are: in the streets. The little libraries consist of boxes that are set up outside of houses or public spaces and are filled with books. People can take books they haven’t read and donate ones they have to the libraries.
Street Library Australia, a nonprofit, was started by Nick Lowe after he saw a Little Free Library on a trip to the USA. After an initial workshop in 2015 to build 30 libraries, the idea mushroomed and now there are 4,500 registered street libraries in Australia. “It just grew and grew,” he said.
The libraries come in all shapes and sizes. These libraries are completely voluntary and anyone can start one.
Pamela Zielke, who runs a library called Pam’s Pantry, gives out toys and craft supplies along with books. An early childhood educator, she started her library with the goal of rescuing books from dustbins. But the libraries are doing much more than just providing books-and other donated items-to people. The street libraries are also building community. “It’s a little stopping place outside your house,” said Lowe. “It’s a great way to meet people in your neighborhood who are also book lovers, recycle books, and find new books.”
These Little Street Libraries provided a valuable service during the outbreak of COVID-19 and the popularity has not waned. People use them to find books on specific hobbies like cooking, children are developing a love of reading books, and it is more convenient than going to a bookstore or a brick-and-mortar library. But even more importantly, with a shared interest, the libraries are bringing communities closer together.
8. What might make people in Australia worried nowadays
A. The popularity of digital books. B. The poor service of community education.
C. The shortage of the street libraries. D. Children losing interest in printed books.
9. What do we know about Nick Lowe
A. He must be a citizen of the USA.
B. He was inspired by a trip to the United States.
C. He has set up a total of 30 street libraries in Australia.
D. He made a fortune through Street Library Australia.
10. What does the author intend to tell us by mentioning Pamela Zielke
A. We should do all we can to support street libraries.
B Many more street libraries will be set up in Australia.
C. Anyone can follow her example and start a street library.
D. It is of great benefit to run a street library in your neighborhood.
11. What does the underlined word “waned” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Turned weaker. B. Become different.
C. Spread widely. D. Won recognition.
D
There’s a new AI bot: ChatGPT, and you’d better pay attention, even if you aren’t into artificial intelligence. The tool is an AI chatbot system that OpenAI released in November 2022 to show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can achieve.
ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models and is fine-tuned (a method of transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning (监督和强化学习).
You can ask ChatGPT anything, like explaining physics, asking for birthday party ideas and getting programming (编程) help. Perhaps it’s not smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative. A few days after its launch, more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.
ChatGPT is free to use at the moment because it is still in its research phase. But when too many people hop onto the server (服务器), it overloads and can’t process your request. It just means you should try visiting the site at a later time when fewer people are trying to access it. If you want to skip the wait and have reliable access, there is an option for you. As of Feb. 1, 2023, OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users to have general access even during peak times. This service does come at a cost of $20/month.
However, ChatGPT can not replace Google. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence bot that provides solutions to your questions, but Google is a search engine in which you can search for as much information as possible. ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT
A. Its language model. B. Its working theory.
C. Its design inspiration. D. Its development process.
13. Why does the author list figures in paragraph 3
A To show the popularity of ChatGPT.
B. To stress the high cost of inventing ChatGPT.
C. To present the creativity of artificial intelligence.
D. To prove the necessity of developing tools for chatting online.
14. What is ChatGPT Plus intended for
A. Guiding users to experience free services.
B. Allowing net surfers to skip advertisements.
C. Helping researchers detect the failure of the system.
D. Offering consumers priority access during peak hours.
15. What is a limitation of ChatGPT compared with Google
A. It operates based on limited data.
B. It takes more time to search for solutions.
C. It can only update information at a fixed time.
D. It may provide replies unrelated to the questions.

47. 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。
My parents do a lot of embarrassing things! Usually, it’s my dad who sings silly songs or tells corny jokes around my friends. But a few weeks ago, it was my mother who played the embarrassing-parent role.
While my mom and I were shopping, we ran into my teacher, who mentioned that the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair. And, right then and there, my mom said, “I know the perfect song and dance. I’ll teach it to the kids!”
Before I could say “Please don’t”, my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week. Oh, and just to be clear, it’s not as if she’s a professional entertainer. My parents run a small grocery store, and the only singing my mom does is in the shower.
“Um,” I said on our way home, “are you sure this is such a good idea ” “Of course! ” she said. “If we want your school Winter Fair to happen, people need to step up and volunteer.” “I know volunteering is important,” I said, “but couldn’t you help out in Tex and Indi’s kindergarten instead ” She laughed, “Don’t be silly. We will have fun!”
“OK, fellas!” my teacher said at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to stop silent reading a little early today because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”
I looked up to discover my mom standing at the front of the room wearing the world’s silliest snowflake hat. “I’m super excited to be here with you!” my mom said, “I’m going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance performance I learned a few years back, when I did some theater in college. Here goes !”
Oh please, oh please, I said over and over in my head, let there be a fire drill, or an assembly, or a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself- and me!!!
But apparently, my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly. She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.

Helen Thayer, one of the greatest explorers of the 20th century, loves challenges. She says, “I like to see what’s on the other side of the hill.” She has gone almost everywhere to do that.
In 1988, at the age of 50, she became the first woman to travel alone to the North Pole. She pulled her own sled piled with 160 pounds of supplies, and during her trip no one brought her fresh supplies. Accompanied only by her dog Charlie, she survived cold weather and meetings with polar bears. In fact, Charlie saved her life when one of them attacked her. Near the end of her trip, a forceful wind blew away the majority of her supplies. The last week of the trip, she survived on a handful of nuts and a little water each day.
Helen goes to challenging places not only for adventure, but also for education. Before her Arctic journey, she started a website called Adventure Classroom. On the site, she shares her adventures in order to motivate (激发) students. She explains, “Although kids often see the world in a negative way, without hope for their future, we work to inspire them to set goals, plan for success and never give up.”
Helen grew up in New Zealand. Her parents were athletes and mountain climbers. Following her parents’ example, she climbed her first mountain at 9. Later, she climbed the highest mountains in North and South America, the former USSR and New Zealand.
In 1996, she took on another challenge — the Sahara Desert. She and her husband, Bill, walked 2,400 miles across it! In 2001, she and Bill traveled on foot from west to east through the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. They hope to travel to Sichuan and Tibet in China to study pandas this year.
Helen plans to continue taking trips. She’ll use her explorations, writing, photography and environmental work to create programs for her Adventure Classroom website. She wants to inspire her students never to stop facing challenges!

In today’s digital age when you can get information quickly, there is a concern about children developing an appreciation for reading printed books. That’s why communities in Australia have come up with a way to convey a love of books in the younger generations.
To solve this problem, communities are bringing libraries to where the kids are: in the streets. The little libraries consist of boxes that are set up outside of houses or public spaces and are filled with books. People can take books they haven’t read and donate ones they have to the libraries.
Street Library Australia, a nonprofit, was started by Nick Lowe after he saw a Little Free Library on a trip to the USA. After an initial workshop in 2015 to build 30 libraries, the idea mushroomed and now there are 4,500 registered street libraries in Australia. “It just grew and grew,” he said.
The libraries come in all shapes and sizes. These libraries are completely voluntary and anyone can start one.
Pamela Zielke, who runs a library called Pam’s Pantry, gives out toys and craft supplies along with books. An early childhood educator, she started her library with the goal of rescuing books from dustbins. But the libraries are doing much more than just providing books-and other donated items-to people. The street libraries are also building community. “It’s a little stopping place outside your house,” said Lowe. “It’s a great way to meet people in your neighborhood who are also book lovers, recycle books, and find new books.”
These Little Street Libraries provided a valuable service during the outbreak of COVID-19 and the popularity has not waned. People use them to find books on specific hobbies like cooking, children are developing a love of reading books, and it is more convenient than going to a bookstore or a brick-and-mortar library. But even more importantly, with a shared interest, the libraries are bringing communities closer together.
8. What might make people in Australia worried nowadays
A. The popularity of digital books. B. The poor service of community education.
C. The shortage of the street libraries. D. Children losing interest in printed books.
9. What do we know about Nick Lowe
A. He must be a citizen of the USA.
B. He was inspired by a trip to the United States.
C. He has set up a total of 30 street libraries in Australia.
D. He made a fortune through Street Library Australia.
10. What does the author intend to tell us by mentioning Pamela Zielke
A. We should do all we can to support street libraries.
B. Many more street libraries will be set up in Australia.
C. Anyone can follow her example and start a street library.
D. It is of great benefit to run a street library in your neighborhood.
11. What does the underlined word “waned” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Turned weaker. B. Become different.
C. Spread widely. D. Won recognition.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。为了在数字时代传播对书籍的热爱,澳大利亚街头建了很多图书馆。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第一段“In today’s digital age when you can get information quickly, there is a concern about children developing an appreciation for reading printed books.(在今天的数字时代,当你可以快速获取信息时,人们担心是否孩子们会对阅读印刷书籍产生兴趣)”可知,如今令澳大利亚人感到担忧的是孩子们对印刷的书籍失去兴趣。故选D项。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段“Street Library Australia, a nonprofit, was started by Nick Lowe after he saw a Little Free Library on a trip to the USA.(澳大利亚街头图书馆是一家非营利组织,由尼克·洛威在去美国旅行时看到一个小型免费图书馆后创办)”可推知,Nick Lowe从美国的一次旅行中获得灵感,创办了街头图书馆。故选B项。
3.推理判断题。根据第五段“Pamela Zielke, who runs a library called Pam’s Pantry, gives out toys and craft supplies along with books. An early childhood educator, she started her library with the goal of rescuing books from dustbins.(帕梅拉·齐尔克经营着一家名为“帕姆的储藏室”的图书馆,除了书籍外,她还会分发玩具和手工用品。作为一名幼儿教育工作者,她创办图书馆的目的是拯救垃圾箱里的书)”及第四段“These libraries are completely voluntary and anyone can start one.(这些图书馆完全是自愿的,任何人都可以建立一个)”可知,第五段提出Pamela Zielke经营着一家名为Pam’s Pantry的图书馆,是为了佐证第四段提到的“任何人都可以以她为榜样,建立图书馆”这个观点。故选C项。
4.词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“People use them to find books on specific hobbies like cooking, children are developing a love of reading books, and it is more convenient than going to a bookstore or a brick-and-mortar library.(人们用它们来寻找特定爱好的书籍,比如烹饪,孩子们正在培养对读书的热爱,而且这比去书店或实体图书馆更方便)”可知,街头图书馆受欢迎程度没有减弱。由此可知,该划线词与turned weaker意思相同。故选A项。

There’s a new AI bot: ChatGPT, and you’d better pay attention, even if you aren’t into artificial intelligence. The tool is an AI chatbot system that OpenAI released in November 2022 to show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can achieve.
ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models and is fine-tuned (a method of transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning (监督和强化学习).
You can ask ChatGPT anything, like explaining physics, asking for birthday party ideas and getting programming (编程) help. Perhaps it’s not smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative. A few days after its launch, more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.
ChatGPT is free to use at the moment because it is still in its research phase. But when too many people hop onto the server (服务器), it overloads and can’t process your request. It just means you should try visiting the site at a later time when fewer people are trying to access it. If you want to skip the wait and have reliable access, there is an option for you. As of Feb. 1, 2023, OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users to have general access even during peak times. This service does come at a cost of $20/month.
However, ChatGPT can not replace Google. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence bot that provides solutions to your questions, but Google is a search engine in which you can search for as much information as possible. ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT
A. Its language model. B. Its working theory.
C. Its design inspiration. D. Its development process.
13. Why does the author list figures in paragraph 3
A. To show the popularity of ChatGPT.
B. To stress the high cost of inventing ChatGPT.
C. To present the creativity of artificial intelligence.
D. To prove the necessity of developing tools for chatting online.
14. What is ChatGPT Plus intended for
A. Guiding users to experience free services.
B. Allowing net surfers to skip advertisements.
C. Helping researchers detect the failure of the system.
D. Offering consumers priority access during peak hours.
15. What is a limitation of ChatGPT compared with Google
A. It operates based on limited data.
B. It takes more time to search for solutions.
C. It can only update information at a fixed time.
D. It may provide replies unrelated to the questions.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。ChatGPT是OpenAI于2022年11月发布的人工智能聊天机器人系统,旨在展示和测试一个非常庞大、强大的人工智能系统可以实现的功能。文章对此进行了介绍。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models and is fine-tuned (a method of transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning (监督和强化学习).(ChatGPT会记住对话的线索,使用之前的问题和答案来通知它的下一个响应。它从互联网上的海量信息中获取答案。ChatGPT建立在OpenAI GPT-3系列大型语言模型之上,并使用监督学习和强化学习进行微调(一种迁移学习方法)。)”可知,第二段主要是讲ChatGPT的工作原理。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第三句到最后一句“A few days after its launch, more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.(上线几天后,超过100万人试用了ChatGPT。瑞银分析师劳埃德·沃姆斯利在2023年2月估计,ChatGPT在1月份的月用户数达到1亿,用了2个月就完成了TikTok花了9个月、Instagram花了两年半的时间。)”可知,第三段中罗列数据是为了表明ChatGPT的受欢迎程度。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段倒第二句“As of Feb. 1, 2023, OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users to have general access even during peak times.(截至2023年2月1日,OpenAI有一个ChatGPT pro计划,ChatGPT Plus,允许用户即使在高峰时间也可以访问。)”可知,ChatGPT Plus计划在高峰时段为消费者提供优先访问权限。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day.(因为它的编程,ChatGPT的知识有限,但谷歌有无限的知识,每天更新。)”可知,和Google相比,ChatGPT的局限在于它的运作基于有限的数据。故选A。

【16题详解】
根据后文“Instead of cracking open a new plastic tube of shampoo, soap, and conditioner each night, buy reusable containers and filling them from your own home before travel.(不要每天晚上打开一管新的洗发水、肥皂和护发素,买一些可重复使用的容器,在旅行前从自己家里装好)”由此可知,根据后文提到的新的洗发水、肥皂和护发素等物品,可推知是在住的酒店中,故本段主要是在说明酒店房间的洗涤物品是旅行垃圾的一大来源问题。故E选项“酒店房间的洗涤用品是垃圾的一大来源”符合语境,故选E。
【17题详解】
根据后文“such as, ‘What is this product made of ’ and ‘Does the country I’m visiting allow the sale and export of this product ’”可知例如,“这个产品是由什么制成的 ”以及“我要访问的国家允许销售和出口这种产品吗 ”由此可知,后文列举了两个关于产品的问题,说明本句是在说明买东西之前,要先问关于产品的一些问题。故F选项“要做出明智的选择,在购买之前先问问题”符合语境,故选F。
【18题详解】

【19题详解】
根据上文“Defined as “responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, protects the well-being of the local people, and involves interpretation and education”, ecotourism avoids traditional mass tourism in favor of more responsible travel styles.(生态旅游的定义是“到自然地区进行负责任的旅游,保护环境,保护当地人民的福祉,并包括解释和教育”,生态旅游避免了传统的大众旅游,而倾向于更负责任的旅游方式)”以及后文 “and in Norway you can sightsee the way nature intended, by river rafting or dog sledding.(在挪威,你可以乘船漂流或乘坐狗拉雪橇,观赏大自然的美景)”由此可知,后文列举了挪威的生态旅游,故本句是在举例说明不同国家的生态旅游项目。故G选项“例如,在哥斯达黎加,你可以睡在热带雨林中的生态小屋”符合语境,故选G。
【20题详解】
根据上文“It may seem exciting to pet a tiger in Thailand, or ride an elephant in India, but these experiences are typically cruel and dangerous to the animals. Instead, there is no need to touch animals.(在泰国抚摸一只老虎,或者在印度骑一头大象,这似乎令人兴奋,但这些经历对动物来说通常是残酷和危险的。相反,没有必要触摸动物)”由此可知,与动物互动对动物来说并不好,上文提到了没有必要触摸动物,故本句承接上文说明与动物最好的方式是在远处观察它们。上文中touch animals可对应到D选项中interact with wildlife。故D选项“在远处观察它们是与野生动物互动的最好方式”符合语境,故选D。

47. 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。
My parents do a lot of embarrassing things! Usually, it’s my dad who sings silly songs or tells corny jokes around my friends. But a few weeks ago, it was my mother who played the embarrassing-parent role.
While my mom and I were shopping, we ran into my teacher, who mentioned that the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair. And, right then and there, my mom said, “I know the perfect song and dance. I’ll teach it to the kids!”
Before I could say “Please don’t”, my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week. Oh, and just to be clear, it’s not as if she’s a professional entertainer. My parents run a small grocery store, and the only singing my mom does is in the shower.
“Um,” I said on our way home, “are you sure this is such a good idea ” “Of course! ” she said. “If we want your school Winter Fair to happen, people need to step up and volunteer.” “I know volunteering is important,” I said, “but couldn’t you help out in Tex and Indi’s kindergarten instead ” She laughed, “Don’t be silly. We will have fun!”
“OK, fellas!” my teacher said at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to stop silent reading a little early today because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”
I looked up to discover my mom standing at the front of the room wearing the world’s silliest snowflake hat. “I’m super excited to be here with you!” my mom said, “I’m going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance performance I learned a few years back, when I did some theater in college. Here goes !”
Oh please, oh please, I said over and over in my head, let there be a fire drill, or an assembly, or a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself- and me!!!
But apparently, my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly. She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.
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。
Paragraph 1
“I can’t believe this is happening” was all I could think.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
My mom turned out to be more than a little OK at performing.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“I can't believe this is happening” was all I could think. I closed my eyes, covered my ears and shrank as low as I possibly could in my chair. After a few seconds, though, I mustered up enough courage to uncover one ear and peek through a half-open eye. That’s when I saw the expression of pure joy on my mom’s face. She was having so much fun that I couldn’t help smiling. My classmates clapped and cheered, and I heard someone say, “Wow! Arizona’s mother is pretty talented!”
My mom turned out to be more than a little OK at performing. She was also good at teaching us the song and the dance steps, too. We learned quickly. By the time of the fair, I was actually proud of her for putting herself out there for the sake of us kids. Our performance at the Winter Fair was a huge success. As we drove home, I said to my mom, “I’m really glad you volunteered to help my class with the performance.” My mom reached back and squeezed my hand. “Thanks for saying that. I can see why you might’ve been embarrassed, but I had such a great time.”
