Five years ago, Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games. At Pyeong Chang Olympics, Wu not only returned, but also made history.
On Feb 22th, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men’s short-track 500-metre race. He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal. BBC said Wu’s win was “flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.
“I didn’t give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start,” he told the media after the match.
But China’s short-track teams didn’t do well in general at the Games. Chinese skaters in the women’s 500 metres, 3000-metre relay and men’s 1500 metres all failed to take home the gold. Wu was China’s biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure on him. But he proved himself with his great performance.
Wu is now known as a highly talented skater. But things were not always that way. When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost “nothing” compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches said at the time. Their comments made him quite upset. But as the saying goes. “Winners never quit (放弃) and quitters never win”. Wu didn’t want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didn’t return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. “I believe in myself.” he told the media after his match at the Olympics.

ChatGPT, a new chatbot model developed by US-based AI research laboratory OpenAI, has quickly become a hit globally due to its advanced conversational capabilities,
It can write emails, computer codes, even academic papers and poems, and has passed a number of tests within seconds. Academicians worldwide are discussing whether AI should be used in education. Some universities have banned it. The New York City’s Department of Education, for example, banned the chatbot from its public school devices and networks, with some people warning that it could encourage more students to cheat, especially in exams.
Many more welcome this app, claiming that, like most technological advances and groundbreaking innovations in history, ChatGPT is a powerful tool for the development of higher education.
Embracing AI as early as possible is advisable. Higher education institutions should make preparations for including AI in their syllabus (教学大纲). They can start by offering related courses, because by understanding how it works, they can make better use of it. Besides, students with good knowledge of AI are more competitive when it comes to getting a good job, as an increasing number of jobs are being done by computer programmes-some in cooperation with humans, AI-powered education technologies can be adopted to make the learning experience more suitable for each student based on his or her strengths and weaknesses. As for professors, AI can free them from doing some dull tasks so they can concentrate on teaching and interacting with students.
Since we cannot avoid ChatGPT and other AI-powered applications from entering the field of higher education, we should make collective efforts to ensure they have a positive impact on society and the future of education Despite AI helping make learning much more interesting and enjoyable, humans need to work very hard to win the race with technology.
8. Why do some higher education institutions forbid ChatGPT
A. ChatGPT can write emails and computer codes quickly.
B. Some professors might not perform their duties properly.
C. Students would have conversations with each other via it.
D. Students might seek help from it in completing the exams.
9. What is the author’s attitude towards AI applications in education
A. Fearful. B. Disapproving. C. Supportive. D. Uncertain.
10. How can AI benefit students of higher education
A. It offers students an increasing number of jobs.
B. It personalizes students’ learning experience.
C. It equips students with competitive skills to cooperate with humans.
D. It handles uninteresting tasks so students can better focus on learning.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. We should guard against AI apps.
B. AI will be more widely used in education.
C. The future of education relies on AI apps.
D. Humans will be left behind by technology.
D
Have you ever had the urge to open a book and stick your nose straight into the pages The smell of old books can refresh any book lovers. We don’t know why, but it is just pleasant to us.
Describing the smell can be a challenge. And mere adjectives will likely be of little use to future generations of historians trying to document, understand or reproduce the scent of slowly decaying books. Now, that task may have just gotten easier thanks to the Historic Book Odor Wheel.
In one experiment, researchers asked visitors at the historic library to characterize the scents they smelled. All the visitors selected words like “woody”, “smoky” and “earthy” from the list, and described the smell’s intensity and perceived pleasantness. In another experiment, the study authors presented visitors to the Birmingham Museum with eight smells — one of which was an unlabeled historic book scent and seven were non-bookish, such as coffee, chocolate, fish market and dirty clothes. The researchers then had those museum goers describe the historic book smell.
The top two responses Chocolate and coffee. “You tend to use familiar associations to describe smells when they are unlabeled,” study author Cecilia Bembibre says.
The team even analyzed the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (挥发性有机化合物) in the book and the library. Using the data from the chemical analysis and visitors’ smell descriptions, the researchers created the Historic Book Odor Wheel to document the “historic library smell”. Main categories, such as “sweet/spicy”, fill the inner circle of the wheel; descriptors, such as “chocolate/cream”, fill the middle; and the chemical compounds likely to be the smelly source, like furfural, fill the outer circle. The researchers want the book odor wheel to be a tool that “untrained noses” can use to identify smells and the compounds causing them, which could address conservators’ concerns about material composition and historic paper conservation. And hopefully, smells of the past can be reproduced in the lab someday and museums and historians can use it to reconstruct a past we can no longer smell.
12. What is mainly talked about in the first paragraph
A. An strange reading habit. B. Fascination for smells of books.
C. Addiction to reading books. D. A dislike for smelling books.
13. How do people usually describe unlabeled smells
A. By referring to familiar items. B. By using adjectives to label them.
C. By analysing chemical compounds. D. By connecting them with food smells.
14. Which is NOT the purpose of using the “Historic Book Odor Wheel”
A. To record historic library smells. B. To identify smells and compounds.
C. To remove the conservators’ worries. D. To put different scents into different libraries.
15 What might the study be used for in the future
A. Creating a whole new scent. B. Improving the people’s sense of smell.
C. Restoring smells of historic documents. D. Extracting components of “old book smell”.

Mary frowned as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from New York, having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days.
“Moving here was a stupid idea. I have lost all my friends in New York. What should I do now ” Mary grumbled (抱怨), mostly to herself.
“What’s that ” Her mother asked opening a box and lifting out several pots. “Nothing,” Mary mumbled (嘟哝). The girl had been complaining about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were then too busy to listen to her complaints.
The first few days at her new school hadn’t been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn’t know, and it seemed that the students hadn’t even noticed her. Mary sighed and got back to wash dishes.
On the day of the grand opening, Mary’s parents were busy the whole day, welcoming customers into the restaurant, which was brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Mary was in a good mood as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring glasses of water. This was a big day for her family.
At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Mary’s age. As she filled their glasses, Mary realized the twins were in her class. Mary ducked her head down. Her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table.
A few minutes later, Mary’s mother found her in the kitchen. “Honey, what are you doing back here We need you out front with the customers.”

Five years ago, Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games. At Pyeong Chang Olympics, Wu not only returned, but also made history.
On Feb 22th, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men’s short-track 500-metre race. He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal. BBC said Wu’s win was “flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.
“I didn’t give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start,” he told the media after the match.
But China’s short-track teams didn’t do well in general at the Games. Chinese skaters in the women’s 500 metres, 3000-metre relay and men’s 1500 metres all failed to take home the gold. Wu was China’s biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure on him. But he proved himself with his great performance.
Wu is now known as a highly talented skater. But things were not always that way. When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost “nothing” compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches said at the time. Their comments made him quite upset. But as the saying goes. “Winners never quit (放弃) and quitters never win”. Wu didn’t want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didn’t return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. “I believe in myself.” he told the media after his match at the Olympics.

ChatGPT, a new chatbot model developed by US-based AI research laboratory OpenAI, has quickly become a hit globally due to its advanced conversational capabilities,
It can write emails, computer codes, even academic papers and poems, and has passed a number of tests within seconds. Academicians worldwide are discussing whether AI should be used in education. Some universities have banned it. The New York City’s Department of Education, for example, banned the chatbot from its public school devices and networks, with some people warning that it could encourage more students to cheat, especially in exams.
Many more welcome this app, claiming that, like most technological advances and groundbreaking innovations in history, ChatGPT is a powerful tool for the development of higher education.
Embracing AI as early as possible is advisable. Higher education institutions should make preparations for including AI in their syllabus (教学大纲). They can start by offering related courses, because by understanding how it works, they can make better use of it. Besides, students with good knowledge of AI are more competitive when it comes to getting a good job, as an increasing number of jobs are being done by computer programmes-some in cooperation with humans, AI-powered education technologies can be adopted to make the learning experience more suitable for each student based on his or her strengths and weaknesses. As for professors, AI can free them from doing some dull tasks so they can concentrate on teaching and interacting with students.
Since we cannot avoid ChatGPT and other AI-powered applications from entering the field of higher education, we should make collective efforts to ensure they have a positive impact on society and the future of education Despite AI helping make learning much more interesting and enjoyable, humans need to work very hard to win the race with technology.
8. Why do some higher education institutions forbid ChatGPT
A. ChatGPT can write emails and computer codes quickly.
B. Some professors might not perform their duties properly.
C. Students would have conversations with each other via it.
D. Students might seek help from it in completing the exams.
9. What is the author’s attitude towards AI applications in education
A. Fearful. B. Disapproving. C. Supportive. D. Uncertain.
10. How can AI benefit students of higher education
A. It offers students an increasing number of jobs.
B. It personalizes students’ learning experience.
C. It equips students with competitive skills to cooperate with humans.
D. It handles uninteresting tasks so students can better focus on learning.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph

Have you ever had the urge to open a book and stick your nose straight into the pages The smell of old books can refresh any book lovers. We don’t know why, but it is just pleasant to us.
Describing the smell can be a challenge. And mere adjectives will likely be of little use to future generations of historians trying to document, understand or reproduce the scent of slowly decaying books. Now, that task may have just gotten easier thanks to the Historic Book Odor Wheel.
In one experiment, researchers asked visitors at the historic library to characterize the scents they smelled. All the visitors selected words like “woody”, “smoky” and “earthy” from the list, and described the smell’s intensity and perceived pleasantness. In another experiment, the study authors presented visitors to the Birmingham Museum with eight smells — one of which was an unlabeled historic book scent and seven were non-bookish, such as coffee, chocolate, fish market and dirty clothes. The researchers then had those museum goers describe the historic book smell.
The top two responses Chocolate and coffee. “You tend to use familiar associations to describe smells when they are unlabeled,” study author Cecilia Bembibre says.
The team even analyzed the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (挥发性有机化合物) in the book and the library. Using the data from the chemical analysis and visitors’ smell descriptions, the researchers created the Historic Book Odor Wheel to document the “historic library smell”. Main categories, such as “sweet/spicy”, fill the inner circle of the wheel; descriptors, such as “chocolate/cream”, fill the middle; and the chemical compounds likely to be the smelly source, like furfural, fill the outer circle. The researchers want the book odor wheel to be a tool that “untrained noses” can use to identify smells and the compounds causing them, which could address conservators’ concerns about material composition and historic paper conservation. And hopefully, smells of the past can be reproduced in the lab someday and museums and historians can use it to reconstruct a past we can no longer smell.
12. What is mainly talked about in the first paragraph
A. An strange reading habit. B. Fascination for smells of books.
C. Addiction to reading books. D. A dislike for smelling books.
13. How do people usually describe unlabeled smells
A. By referring to familiar items. B. By using adjectives to label them.
C. By analysing chemical compounds. D. By connecting them with food smells.
14. Which is NOT the purpose of using the “Historic Book Odor Wheel”
A. To record historic library smells. B. To identify smells and compounds.
C. To remove the conservators’ worries. D. To put different scents into different libraries.
15. What might the study be used for in the future
A. Creating a whole new scent. B. Improving the people’s sense of smell.
C. Restoring smells of historic documents. D. Extracting components of “old book smell”.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C

【答案】36. an 37. whose
38. has led
39. increased
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了屠呦呦获得成就。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在2015年12月7日的诺贝尔奖演讲上,一位84岁的中国老妇人慢慢走到台上。句中woman是可数名词,句中用的是单数,前应用不定冠词修饰,表泛指,84-year-old为元音音素开头,用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这位女士就是屠呦呦,她的研究导致了青蒿素的发现,挽救了数十万人的生命,改善了数百万人的健康状况。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Tu Youyou,关系词替代先行词在从句中作定语修饰research,用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:这位女士就是屠呦呦,她的研究导致了青蒿素的发现,挽救了数十万人的生命,改善了数百万人的健康状况。分析句子结构,根据and可知,lead和前文的has saved一起作which引导非限制性定语从句的并列谓语,用现在完成时。故填has led。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:由于她发现了青蒿素,世界各地的疟疾患者的生存机会大大增加。本句已有谓语have had,所以increase用非谓语形式,increase和chance之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动,作定语。故填increased。
B

【答案】40. brightly
41. branches
42. to be
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了作者在北极圈的上方看到的景色,以及感受。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:站在山的边缘,我就在北极圈的上方,那里夏天24小时阳光灿烂。空处修饰空后的动词shining,用副词brightly作状语。故填brightly。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:拉帕河的支流在我面前展开,流经下面的山谷。分析句子结构可知,本句缺少主语,所以空处应填名词作主语,branch意为“分支”,为可数名词,结合谓语flow复数形式,该空用复数形式。故填branches。
【42题详解】
考查不定式。句意:在这样一个美丽而荒凉的地方,我感到很幸运能活着。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语makes,所以be用非谓语形式,此处是固定搭配:系动词+adj.+ to do。故填to be。
C
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture. The crucial thing is using body language in a way that is appropriate to the culture you are in.

【答案】43. making
44. by 45. permitted
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了不同的国家有不同的肢体语言。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:例如,在一些国家,眼神交流——看着别人的眼睛——是一种表示兴趣的方式。分析句子结构可知,本句缺少主语,所以空处应填动名词作主语,表一般性行为。故填making。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:相比之下,在其他国家,眼神交流并不总是被认可的。此处是固定搭配:by contrast意为“相比之下”。故填by。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:例如,在许多中东国家,男性和女性不允许有眼神交流。分析句子结构可知,谓语动词permit和主语men and women之间是被动关系,用被动语态,空前已有be动词,所以空处应填过去分词形式。故填permitted。

Mary frowned as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from New York, having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days.
“Moving here was a stupid idea. I have lost all my friends in New York. What should I do now ” Mary grumbled (抱怨), mostly to herself.
“What’s that ” Her mother asked, opening a box and lifting out several pots. “Nothing,” Mary mumbled (嘟哝). The girl had been complaining about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were then too busy to listen to her complaints.
The first few days at her new school hadn’t been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn’t know, and it seemed that the students hadn’t even noticed her. Mary sighed and got back to wash dishes.
On the day of the grand opening, Mary’s parents were busy the whole day, welcoming customers into the restaurant, which was brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Mary was in a good mood as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring glasses of water. This was a big day for her family.
At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Mary’s age. As she filled their glasses, Mary realized the twins were in her class. Mary ducked her head down. Her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table.
A few minutes later, Mary’s mother found her in the kitchen. “Honey, what are you doing back here We need you out front with the customers.”

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
“Mom, I don’t want to be out there.” Mary frowned. Feeling Mary was in a bad mood, her mother asked her what was wrong in a soft voice. At that moment, Mary couldn’t help pouring out her troubles, “Without a friend, I’m isolated here.” Realizing she had ignored Mary’s feelings after the move, her mother held Mary in her arms, suggesting that she make new friends by taking action first. “Go and take them some cookies and say hello!” The instant Mary heard that, her eyes shone with a mixture of excitement and expectation.
Mary put a handful of cookies into a small tray and left the kitchen. Nervous as she was, she plucked up courage to approach the table where the twins sat, placing the cookies down carefully. She bravely looked at the girls directly in the eyes, “Thanks so much for coming to our restaurant!” It was not until the twins looked up that they recognized her. The twins gave her a big hug. They offered to hang out with her and introduce her around to the other guys at school. “That would be awesome!”, Mary grinned.
