议论文 280 ★★ 8 mins _______ / 5
A. 回答问题
短文导读：本文主要介绍了ChatGPT是如何帮助学生解答问题的，以及它可能造成的问题。
读写综合
主题：ChatGPT的利弊
请阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整切题，并把答案写在横线上。
Recently, my daughter asked me for help with her homework. However, I was busy helping her brother at that time. Later, she told me that she had asked ChatGPT for help. Through several rounds of questions and answers, the bot(机器人程序) had explained her problem and helped her solve it. I checked the chat. The explanations were perfect.
I was not angry with it. Instead, it was through her interaction(交互)with the bot that she gained a better understanding of the problem and how to solve it. This year is likely going to be the tipping point(爆发点)for AI. Below let's take a closer look at what GPT is, how it works, and its problems.
ChatGPT is a big language model. It is trained on a large amount of text, so it can produce human-like responses to many questions. However, ChatGPT has trouble with complicated(复杂的) mathematical calculations(计算).
As a free tool, ChatGPT has allowed students to complete their homework without much effort. This has raised worries about cheating and the loss of learning ability. Educators fear that students will become lazy thinkers. They will fail to develop skills like critical thinking(批判性思考), researching and writing. For sure, ChatGPT is a powerful language model. It has the power to change the way we learn and interact with machines. As the Chinese saying goes, “Water can carry a boat but it can also turn it over.” I think it's important for us to be careful of the problems that ChatGPT may cause.
1. How did ChatGPT help the writer's daughter solve her problem

The Development of AI
The invention of ChatGPT has made AI a hot topic among people in our society. Many people feel worried about the development of AI. ______________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
There is no need for people to worry too much about the development of AI. AI will never completely take the place of people. Instead, it has more advantages.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
First, AI can be used to do dangerous jobs and keep workers safe. Second, thanks to AI, people can free themselves from overwork and spend more time on their interests. Last but not least, AI can also help with scientific development. It can help scientists to do research.
In my opinion, we will live more conveniently and happily with the help of AI.(共12张PPT)

主题：“会飞的汽车”
短文导读：本文主要介绍了四名德国工程师发明了一种像鸡蛋一样的飞机，被人们称为“会飞的汽车”。
阅读理解 B
Nowadays, many people drive their cars to work. There are a lot of cars in the street and the traffic is very busy. So sometimes it's not easy for people to get to work on time. When you are going to be late, you only dream of taking a plane there. Can your dream come true The answer is “yes”!
Four engineers in Germany are interested in making planes. They have made a new plane. It doesn't look like a plane but an egg. Many people think it looks funny and interesting. The great “egg” can take two people to the sky and fly three hundred kilometers in one hour. That's really great.
Some people call the plane “a flying car”. Why Firstly, it's not difficult for people to learn to drive it. People can just drive it like driving a car. But it can go faster and farther than a car. Secondly, the “egg” is not very big, only a quarter of a plane. So it doesn't need an airport. Only a small place is OK. It can stop everywhere. In the future, the “flying car” will come into people's lives and change our modes (方式)of transportation.

主题：蒙恬改良毛笔
短文导读：本文主要讲述了蒙恬用兔毛改良毛笔的故事。
传统文化主题阅读理解
The ink brush, one of the “Four Treasures of the Study”, was invented thousands of years ago. It is said that Meng Tian, a general of the Qin state, improved the brush. When Meng was leading an army to fight against the Chu state, he had to report the situation to his king in time. But his brush was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it.
One day after hunting, Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on horseback. Fat and heavy, one rabbit's tail left a long trail on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind
when he saw it.“If I tie the rabbit's hair to a stick, would it be easy to write with ”
On arriving home, he tied the rabbit's hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit's hair was too smooth to write well and wasted a lot of cloth. Meng was so disappointed that he threw away his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard.
However, Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later, he happened to find his “invention” fatter in a stone hole. He picked it up with
hope. The brush worked beautifully on cloth. It turned out that the special water had cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded at last.
Thanks to Meng, the ink brush is playing a key role in Chinese culture. Today, students are taught to use the ink brush in school. It makes their lives more colorful and helps them better understand Chinese culture.
可视化语篇结构分析
( )1. Why did Meng Tian want to improve the brush
A. Because he was leading an army to fight against the Chu state.
