【答案】The following day, I stepped onto the stage alone. I had to turn the choral song we practiced together into my solo singing. I feel a bit nervous when so many people look at me. When the accompaniment sounded, my legs trembled nervously. At that moment, I thought of Lily, as if she was telling me, “Keep calm, you will make it”. I tried to calm myself down and started singing bravely and loudly. It was the confidence Lily gave me that made me perform particularly well. Finally, the audience gave me a warm applause.
After the performance, I saw Lily backstage. Lily congratulated me with a hoarse voice. Knowing that she was silently supporting me ,I was deeply moved. I was grateful for her help and wish her an early recovery. Although it is regrettable that she was unable to attend the talent show this time, but we grow from the preparing, and we win from the trying. There will still be opportunities, and our next performance will definitely be even more wonderful.

(Text 10)
W: Everyone has a natural sleep routine. We go to bed and wake up at a certain time. But everyone's routine is not the same. Some people, early birds, go to bed early at night(around9: 30 pm). In the morning, they wake up easily and are energetic. Others, night owls, stay awake until midnight or later. For them, it is difficult to wake up early. If they get up early, they will feel tired easily. What do we know about early birds and night owls Here is what studies show. Teenagers are natural night owls. However, most of them need nine to ten hours’ sleep a night. But in many places, they have to get up before 8: 00 am. For this reason, only one in five teenagers can sleep enough. More early birds get good grades at school, but night owls do better on some intelligence tests, according to a study of 1,000Spanish teens. People with high scores on these tests usually get good jobs.
A篇
【答案】21．D 22．B 24．C
【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文介绍了关于健身房会员资格的一些情况。
21．细节理解题。根据STEP TWO: Your training部分中“After a few sessions with an expert private trainer you will feel comfortable working out on your own.(经过几次专业私人教练的训练，你会觉得自己锻炼很舒服)”可知，在第二步中有私教给你上锻炼课，故选D。
22．细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“Easy to start, stop, cancel or refund a membership.(易于启动，停止，取消或退款会员)”可知，取消会员时可以得到退款，故选B。
23．推理判断题。根据第二段“Best Body Fitness isn’t just a gym: it’s full-service fitness membership made for you. Here’s how it works(最佳身体健身不仅仅是一个健身房:它是为你提供全方位服务的健身会员。下面是它的工作原理)”以及全文都在介绍这家健身房会员资格的一些情况，吸引人们去办会员卡，推测文章是一则广告，故选C。
B篇
【答案】24．B 25．A 26．C 27．D
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者在澳大利亚留学和求职的经历，以及作者对当地恩华的理解和感受。
24．推理判断题。根据第二段中“The people I knew described to me as a place where there were lots of people from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds, and where everyone was open-minded and there were discussions happening everywhere. I’m happy to say that ended up being my experience as well.(我认识的人告诉我，那里有很多来自各行各业和文化背景的人，每个人都思想开放，到处都在进行讨论。我很高兴这也是我的经验之谈。)”可推知，作者选择在澳大利亚学习是因为她喜欢这里的文化。故选B。
25．推理判断题。根据第三段中“But the thing with Lion was that they were already a very established business; they already had their processes and structures in place.( 但Lion的问题在于，它们已经是一家非常成熟的企业; 它们已经有了自己的流程和结构。)”和第四段中“When the opportunity came for me to join Culture Amp, I realized it was an opportunity to see a business grow and be part of that evolution. It was just what I wanted. (当我有机会加入Culture Amp时，我意识到这是一个看到企业成长并参与其中的机会。这正是我想要的。)”故可知，Lion公司是一家老牌企业，已经有完善的工作流程和框架，作者离开了Lion公司，选择在一个成长中的Culture Amp公司工作，由此可推知，在Lion公司的工作缺乏挑战性，故选A。
26．细节理解题。根据第四段中“When the opportunity came for me to join Culture Amp, I realized it was an opportunity to see a business grow and be part of that evolution. It was just what I wanted. ( 当我有机会加入 Culture Amp 时，我意识到这是一个看到企业成长并参与其中的机会。这正是我想要的。)”可知，作者想在Culture Amp公司得到的是作为一名员工见证一个公司成长的机会。故选C。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But the truth is, your career is a marathon. You can expect to change courses along the way, and allow your interests to open new doors.( 但事实是，你的职业生涯就是一场马拉松。你可以期望在这个过程中改变课程，并允许你的兴趣打开新的大门。)”可推知，作者对改变工作所坚持的态度是支持的，故选D。
C篇
28 D 29 B 30 D 31 C
本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了ChatGPT是很智能的。
【小题28】推理判断题。根据第一段中“In five days,more than a million people signed up to test it. (五天之内，超过一百万人注册了测试）”可知，在ChatGPT发布后，很多人第一时间注册了ChatGPT.由此推知，最初，公众对ChatGPT的反应是：许多人迫不及待地想要注册试一试。故选D.
【小题29】推理判断题。根据第二段中“It can alsoguess at medical diagnoses, and even seems good1 at answering the types of open-ended analytical questions which frequently appear on school assignments. (它可以写笑话和大学水平的论文。它还可以猜测医疗诊断，甚至似乎善于回答学校作业中经常出现的开放式分析问题）”可知，ChatGPT善于回答学校作业中经常出现的开放式分析问题。由此推知，对于ChatGPT用户来说，家庭作业可能不是问题。故选
B.
【小题30】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The technology that powers ChatGPT isn't,strictly
speaking, new. It's based on what the company calls“GPT-3. 5, ” an upgraded version of GPT-3 in 2020. While the existence of a highly capable linguistic superbrain might be old news to A. I. researchers, it's the first time such a powerful tool has been made available to the general public through a free, easy-to-use webinterface. (严格来说，驱动ChatGPT的技术并不是新技术。它基于该公司所称的“GPT-3. 5”，即2020年GPT-3的升级版。尽管对于人工智能研究人员来说，语言能力强大的超级大脑的存在可能已经是老生常谈了，但这是第一次通过一个免费的、易于使用的网络界面向公众提供如此强大的工具）”可知，ChatGPT与GPT-3的不同之处在于：人们可以免费使用ChatGPT.故选D.
【小题31】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章第一段提出ChatGPT发布后很受人们欢迎；第二段指出ChatGPT与一些人工智能的不同之处在于ChatGPT更智能，更灵活；第三段指ChatGPT相比于GPT-3的优点；第四段指出ChatGPT相比于Google的优点。由此可知，文章主要介绍了ChatGPT的智慧之处。故选C.
D篇
【答案】32．B 33．C 34．A 35．D
【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要讲述了通过新的调查研究，得出的对全球的树木生物种类的数量估算，其中还包括一些未记录在案的树种；同时一些生物学家通过调查认为在亚马逊热带雨林里面，还有许多不知名的树种等待人们去发现，这也令这些生物学家们倍受鼓舞。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段“The world’s forests may hold more secrets than previously thought: a new global estimate of tree biodiversity suggests that there are about 9,200 tree species yet to be documented.”(世界上的森林可能拥有比以前想象的更多的秘密：一项新的全球树木生物多样性估计表明，约有9200种树木尚未被记录在案。)可知，该项新研究指出成千上万的树种仍不为科学所知。故选B。
33．推理判断题。根据第二段中“The new research drew on the efforts of hundreds of contributors, who have categorized trees in two huge data sets.”(这项新研究利用了数百名贡献者的努力，他们在两个巨大的数据集中对树木进行了分类。)和第三段“The researchers reached their estimate of an additional 9,200 yet undocumented species on the basis of the number of rare ones already in the databases. ”（根据数据库中已有的稀有物种的数量，研究人员得出了他们对另外9200个尚未记录的物种的估计。）可知，该研究的主要方法是从已有的数据中进行推断得出结论。故选C。
34．词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“such as the Amazon, where out-of-the-way spots could host pockets of unusual species found nowhere else.”(比如亚马逊，在那里偏僻的地方可能有一些其他地方没有的不常见的树种。)可知，这里通过举例子说明划线词所在部分“scientists know less about the preponderance of uncommon trees in places such as the Amazon”（科学家们对亚马逊等地大多数不常见的树木知之甚少）中，在如亚马逊雨林这种地方有很多科学家们没见过、不了解的树种，所以他们对这里大多数不常见的树木都知之甚少，故“the prdponderance of”表示“大多数”，与“the majority of”同义。故选A。
35．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Sliman wonders how many species will go extinct before scientists describe them. “How many are already known to native peoples in the Amazon—or were known to peoples or cultures who have themselves been made extinct through colonization, disease, or absorption How many “species” already have dried samples sitting in a cabinet he says.” (Sliman想知道有多少树种会在科学家描述它们之前灭绝。“已经有多少树种被亚马逊当地人所熟知，又有多少是被因殖民、疾病或同化而灭绝的民族或文化所知道的？有多少“物种”已经有干燥的样本放在橱柜里？”他说。）可知，Sliman认为当地的民族或文化也不完全了解这些树种，所以这也是树种数量被低估的一个原因。故选D。
七选五
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。当远方的朋友需要安慰或鼓励的时候，你该如何给予他们关心呢？本文给出了一些建议。
36.E 根据空前一句及下文提到的几个方法可知，E项（值得庆幸的是，你可以用很多方法帮忙）承上启下，符合语境。
37.C 根据空前一句可知，作者建议主动询问朋友是否需要帮助。C项中的The question与上文一致。
38.G 根据下文If your friends are in need of comfort， send them frequent reminders that you re thinking of them.Share something that reminded you of them.可知，本段介绍的是与朋友保持联系。G项（给他们发信息以让他们知道你心中想着他们）符合语境。
39.B 根据空后一句以及本段最后一句可知，这里指的是当朋友心情低落的时候你该怎样做。B项（如果他们最近情绪低落，他们可能需要提醒）符合语境。
40.A 根据空前一句可知，可买礼物送给朋友。再根据空后一句可知，礼物无需多贵，心意到了就可以。A项（在支出方面你不必倾尽所有）符合语境。

When it came time for me to look at options for postgraduate study, I decided to go abroad, initially looking at options in both Australia and the United States.
I decided on Australia finally after I spoke with friends, who had experience of studying at the University of Melbourne and living in the city. The people I knew described to me as a place where there were lots of people from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds, and where everyone was open-minded and there were discussions happening everywhere. I’m happy to say that ended up being my experience as well.
I joined Lion, one of Australasia’s largest food and drink companies, as part of their graduate program, which was a fantastic opportunity, because it gave me the opportunity to work in a variety of roles, and gain experience across a variety of functions. But the thing with Lion was that they were already a very established business; they already had their processes and structures in place.
When the opportunity came for me to join Culture Amp, I realized it was an opportunity to see a business grow and be part of that evolution. It was just what I wanted. That comes with its own challenges, as new problems appear you might be solving them from the very beginning, rather than having a framework to fall back on, but it also means there’s room to learn and experiment. It made me realize where my interests lie.
Here in Australia, there’s a really high tolerance for change in your careers. I think it’s really easy for graduates to fee1 like they have to “jump” into a role, and then that’s it, forever. But the truth is, your career is a marathon. You can expect to change courses along the way, and allow your interests to open new doors.

A．Learning how to do experiments.
B．Having a framework to turn to.
C．Experiencing a company’s development.
D．Dealing with problems in wise ways.

Like most nerds who read science fiction, I've kept wondering how society will greet true artificial intelligence, if and when it arrives. Will we panic Ignore it and go about our daily lives Hence, it's been fascinating to watch the Twittersphere try to make sense of ChatGPT, a new cutting-edge A. I. chatbot opened for testing at the end of 2022. ChatGPT—which stands for "generative pre-trained transformer"— landed with a splash. In five days, more than a million people signed up to test it.
In recent years, though a few A. I. tools have gotten good at doing narrow and well-defined tasks, like writing marketing copy, they still tend to be weak when taken outside their comfort zones. But ChatGPT feels different, smarter, more flexible. It can write jokes and college-level essays. It can also guess at medical diagnoses, and even seems good at answering the types of open-ended analytical questions which frequently appear on school assignments.
The technology that powers ChatGPT isn't, strictly speaking, new. It's based on what the company calls "GPT-3. 5,” an upgraded version of GPT-3 in 2020. While the existence of a highly capable linguistic superbrain might be old news to A. I. researchers, it's the first time such a powerful tool has been made available to the general public through a free, easy-to-use web interface.
Unlike Google, ChatGPT doesn't crawl the web for information on current events, and its knowledge is restricted to things it learned before 2021. Since ChatGPT training data includes billions of examples of human opinion, representing every reasonable view, it's also, in some sense, moderate by design. Without specific prompting, for example, it's hard to coax （诱导） a strong opinion out of ChatGPT about political debates. Usually, you'll get a fair summary of what each side believes.
28．How did the public initially respond to ChatGPT
A. People worried about this new technology.
B. Many people found it hard to understand ChatGPT.
C. Millions of people were ignorant of this new A. I. chatbot.
D. A number of people couldn't wait to register for a try.
29．What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. ChatGPT helps doctors with serious medical diagnoses.
B. Homework might not be a problem for ChatGPT users.
C. ChatGPT is a typical A. I. tool used for specified tasks.
D. A. I. apps provide perfect answers to analytical questions.
30． In which aspect is ChatGPT different from the GPT-3
A. Linguistic researchers speak highly of it.
B. It is welcomed by A. I. researchers with enthusiasm.
C. It is the first powerful tool open to the general public.
D. People can gain access to it free of charge.
31． What's the text mainly about
A. The future of ChatGPT B. The development of ChatGPT
C. The brilliance of ChatGPT D. The arguments about ChatGPT

The world’s forests may hold more secrets than previously thought: a new global estimate of tree biodiversity suggests that there are about 9,200 tree species remaining undocumented. Most are likely in the tropics, according to the new research.
The new research drew on the efforts of hundreds of contributors, who have categorized trees in two huge data sets: One, the Global Forest Biodiversity Initiative, records every species found in extensively documented forest plots worldwide. The other, TREECHANGE, puts together sightings of individual species. Together they suggest there are approximately 64,100 recorded tree species on the planet—up from previous estimates of around 60,000.
The researchers reached their estimate of an additional 9,200 yet undocumented species on the basis of the number of rare ones already in the databases. Most unknown species are likely to be defined as rare, found in limited numbers in small geographical areas, says the quantitative forest ecologist Jingjing Liang. The team’s result is “a rather conservative estimate,” Liang says, “because scientists know less about the preponderance of uncommon trees in places such as the Amazon, where out-of-the-way spots could host pockets of unusual species found nowhere else.” “If we can focus the resources on those rain forests in the Amazon,” Liang adds, “then we would be able to estimate it with higher confidence.”
Silman, a conservation biologist, who was not involved in the new study agrees that the study result is likely an underestimate. His and his colleagues’ local surveys suggest there are at least 3,000 and possibly more than 6,000 unknown tree species in the Amazon basin alone. Tree species often get grouped together based on appearance, he notes, so new genetic analysis techniques will likely lead to the discovery of even more biodiversity. Sliman wonders how many species will go extinct before scientists describe them. “How many are already known to native peoples in the Amazon — or were known to peoples or cultures who have themselves been made extinct through colonization, disease, or absorption How many “species” already have dried samples sitting in a cabinet ” he says.
Searching for the new species will inform not only conservation but the basic evolutionary science of how and why species diversify and die out, Silman says. “Just the fact that there are thousands of species of something as common as trees out there that are still left to be discovered,” he adds, “I find pretty inspirational.”
32．What is the finding of the new research
A．About nine thousand new tree species have been identified.
B．Thousands of tree species remain unknown to science.
C．Maintaining tree diversity has become a global challenge.
D．Human activities have led to the reduced number of trees.
33．What can be learned about the research method
A．The researchers adopted quality method to analyze data.
B．The researchers did extensive field study in out-of-the-way spots.
C．Inferring from the existing dada is the main research method.
D．Doing surveys and interviews is the main research method.
34．What does the underlined word “preponderane” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．majority B．evolution
C．cultivation D．capability
35．According to Silman, one of the reasons for the underestimate of the tree species may be that ________.
A．genetic analysis technique failed to produce accurate information
B．trees of similar sizes in the Amazon basin are grouped together
C．too many rare trees were made into dried samples before being documented
D．the local peoples or the local cultures are not fully aware of the tree species.
