Dear students,
It’s my great honor to stand here to deliver a speech with the theme of “I Love Dalian” .
Dalian is a place that has stolen my heart in many ways. The crystal-clear sea water, pleasant weather and the distinctive urban architecture never fail to captivate me. Every corner of this city is a treat to the eyes. Furthermore, it has undergone significant development in many fields, especially its commitment to environmental protection, ensuring sustainable development for future generations.
In conclusion, Dalian is a city full of energy and hope, which I am proud to call home and always cherish. And I do hope more people can fall in love with Dalian and realize their dreams here, leading Dalian into a new era of prosperity.
That’s all. Thank you for your listening.
第二节（满分 25 分）
That evening, Alex told Grandma about what had happened. Grandma listened attentively, her wise eyes filled with understanding. She gently placed her hand on Alex’s shoulder and said, “My dear Alex, anger is a normal emotion, but it’s important to learn to manage anger and express feelings without hurting others.” Grandma taught Alex a simple technique — take slow, deep breaths whenever he felt anger creeping up inside him. She also encouraged him to take a moment to reflect on his feelings and put himself in others ’ shoes before reacting impulsively.
Alex made up his mind to change. The next day, Alex encountered many situations that would typically trigger his anger at school. But he chose a different approach. His newfound ability to manage his anger made a noticeable difference. His friends noticed the positive change in him and began inviting him to join activities. With each passing day, Alex’s relationships with his family and friends grew stronger. Looking back, Alex felt it was wise to learn to manage his anger with the help of his Grandma and create harmonious interpersonal relationship.

Text 10
M: A gentleman was walking through an elephant camp, and he spotted that the elephants weren’t being kept in cages or held by the use of chains. The only thing that held them back from escaping the camp was a small piece of rope tied to one of their legs.
As the man gazed upon the elephants, he was completely confused about why the elephants didn’t just use their strength to break the rope and escape the camp. They could easily have done so, but instead, they didn’t try at all. Wanting to know the answer, he asked a trainer nearby why the elephants were just standing there and never tried to escape.
The trainer replied, “When they were very young and much smaller, we used the same size rope to tie them. At that age, it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.” The only reason that the elephants weren’t breaking free and escaping from the camp was that over time they adopted the belief that it just wasn’t possible. No matter how much the world tries to hold you back, always continue with the belief that what you want to achieve is possible. Believing you can become successful is the most important step in actually achieving it.大连市2023～2024学年度第一学期期末考试

Muhammad is an 18-year-old senior from California. who attends Oakland Tech High school. One day he asked his niece and nephew if they wanted to do science, and he was upset by their reaction.
"Whenever I babysit them, we do things like playing chess, playing video games, or watching TV or whatever. When I tried to do science with them, they were like, No, I hate science. I'm bad at it. 'It was that moment that fueled Muhammad to create his nonprofit called "Kits Cubed" with a mission to introduce kids to science through fun, affordable and accessible means.
"I went into my room and I pulled out some science books. Then I went online and did some research and was able to design some science experiments for them to do at home. The materials were composed of fairly cheap stuff we have around the house, and they loved it" Muhammad said.
After witnessing their joy, he realized other children could benefit from it as well. "Having noticed the long-standing absence of science experiments in our school, I really feel like well need some science kits in the hands of kids, ”Muhammad said.
That's when he took the $200 he had saved to create a website and began creating science kits to sell, and eventually donated the earnings to kids in need. "I had enough money to make the website and enough to put together like 10 or 15 kits. My initial goal was the joy that my niece and nephew felt. I wanted it to get to as many kids as possible, "Muhammad said.

Biomedical breakthroughs sometimes happen in the most unlikely places. Take the deep sea for an illustration. Under extreme conditions, at times of no oxygen, microbes (微生物 )not only survive there, but they thrive. This incredible adaptation offers insight into how life evolved billions of years ago and how modern humans may be able to fight infections and diseases-tests used to diagnose(诊断)some viruses were developed with the help of enzyme (酶)separated from microbes found in ocean.
"We've found marine microbes that produce antimicrobials—basically chemical weapons that help them fight off other organisms and resist viruses, "says Virginia Bdgcomb, a microbiologist investigating deep-sea bacteria. These microbes feed on tough substances and produce antimicrobial chemicals.
The deep sea has already given us chemicals to treat certain cancer or nerve damage. Breakthroughs have also come from the ocean depths in the form of diagnostic tools.
The pathway to developing tests started back in 1969 when some heat-loving microbes were found in the depth of 5000 meters beneath the sea. By mid-1980s, the humble microbes
had enabled a major advance in the emerging field of genetics, Scientists found that their enzymes remained stable enough to make millions of copies of a single DNA sequence( 序 列 ) in just a few hours, essentially upgrading geneticists' tools.
“A lot of people think of the deep sea as a desert, ”Virginia says. “To our naked eye, it looks like there's nothing there but there's huge potential. What I can do as a science researcher is record the remarkable diversity of microbes and make their gene sequence available, which may help lead to treatment or diagnostic tool in the future. ”
“We need to have people constantly exploring the fascinating habitats in order to continue uncovering a new page of medically-relevant enzymes, "Virginia says. "This is tough, but I do hope people realize that the more we can learn about microbes, the better off we are. ”
28. What does paragraph 1 aim to tell us
A. The need to deal with infections and diseases.
B. Incredible conditions for microbes to survive.
C. Biomedical inspirations from undersea microbes.
D. Significant breakthroughs of human development.
29. It can be inferred from the text that marine microbes ___________________.
A. develop adaptability even in tough conditions.
B. merely enhance our understanding of diseases.
C. lead to progress in tools to test stable enzymes.
D. present us with treatment for common cancers.
30. What do Virginia Edgcomb's words in the last two paragraphs suggest
A. More awareness of microbes will benefit humans.
B. The deep sea microbes may help us with desert issues.
C. Researchers' future task is to record medical treatment.
D. We should explore more habitats to free us from microbes.
31. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Chemical weapons against viruses.
B. Finding answers in the deep ocean.
C. A look back at research in microbes.
D. Future ways to upgrade human DNA.
D
OpenAI's automated AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT has taken the internet by storm, but not without creating a few issues on the way. With writers, marketers, and seemingly everyone else in between using ChatGPT to generate content, companies worldwide are staring down a tsunami of AI-generated content, With issues of safety and stolen contents constantly swirling around ChatGPT and its output, OpenAI has now released GPT-Classifier, a tool designed to detect whether the text you're reading was generated by ChatGPT or one of its other GPT tools.
GPT-Classifier attempts to figure out if a given piece of text was human-written or the work of an Al-generator. While ChatGPT and other GPT models are trained extensively on all manners of text input, the GPT-Classifier tool is fine-tuned on a dataset of pairs of human-written text and AI-written text on the same topic. In other words, the GPT-Classifier attempts to compare similarities between known human text and known AI text to find inconsistency that reveal the source writer.
While the idea of easily spotting AI-generated text will be music to the ears of editors and educators, OpenAI has warned that its classifier is not fully reliable.
A test of the GPT-Classifier spotted a human-generated example and marked it very unlikely to be AI-generated, and also correctly indicated that a ChatGPT-generated piece on USB issues was possibly AI generated. Currently, GPT-Classifier correctly identifies 26%of AI-written text while labeling 9%of human text as AI-written. OpenAI also notes that the tool's accuracy typically improves as the length of the input text increases. For now, although GPT-Classifier is up and running and available for testing, it's best to take its labeling with a pinch of salt
Even with the GPT-Classifier's limitations, the demand for reliable ChatGPT detection is likely to see many people turn to this tool. OpenAI's commitment to building and releasing a free GPT detection tool is important because as more students, Writers, programmers, and others use AI-text generation tools, understanding and detecting this input will become vital.
32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. GPT-Classifier's components. B. GPT-Classifier's vast datasets.
C. GPT-Classifier's high productivity. D. GPT-Classifier's working principle
33. What does the underlined part mean in paragraph 4
A. Accept with certain doubt. B. Reform with sufficient testing.
C. Judge with reasonable grounds. D. Classify with multiple attempts.
34. What does the last paragraph imply
A. GPT-Classifier wipes out users' belief in AI.
B. GPT-Classifier demands more students' trust.
C. GPT-Classifier meets diverse growing needs.
D. GPT-Classifier has a limited range of services.
35. What is the author's attitude towards the launch of GPT-Classifier
A. Critical. B. Opposing. C. Tolerant. D. Approving.

Alex was a friendly boy, but he had a bad temper and often found it challenging to control his anger. Whenever something didn't go his way or if he felt upset, a fiery anger would build up inside him like an angry monster.
One sunny afternoon, Alex went to the playground with his friends, Sarah and Ben. They were excited to play on the swings, slide, and monkey bars. As they started playing, Alex's turn on the swing was interrupted by another child who cut in line. Alex felt his anger rising inside him, and without thinking, he shouted at the child very angrily, demanding his turn back. Sarah and Ben looked at Alex with surprise, scare and depression. They didn't like it that their friend lost his temper like a monster and yelled. They stopped playing together.
Alex's anger not only ruined his own mood but also spoiled( 破 坏 ) the fun for his friends and the other children at the playground. Feeling ashamed and realizing the consequences of his actions, Alex slumped (跌坐) down on a nearby bench. He saw his friends playing happily without him, and he felt upset at losing control.
Alex's memories flooded back when his friends and family were often taken aback by his outbursts. When his best friend, Emily, wanted to play a game he didn't like, he would shout and throw a tantrum(发脾气), refusing to play with her. His little sister accidentally knocked over his tower of blocks, he would explode in a fit of rage, yelling and stomping his feet.
He had lost a lot of fiends and hurt his family because of his anger. Now he might lose these friends too. He realized that his mean words constantly hurt the people he cared about. He didn't want to be like a monster anymore, so he decided to find a better way to handle his anger.
