In the poverty-stricken neighborhoods in and around Manila, Philippines, millions of people live in darkness in their homes — even in the daytime. Electricity is often too expensive, and windows are a building expense that many cannot bear. To change this, a local social entrepreneur has created a program called A Liter of Light that shines the homes of underprivileged families by creating solar-powered light bulbs from a resource some may find surprising: used plastic soft drink bottles.
Volunteers for A Liter of Light begin by gathering abandoned, clear plastic bottles. The volunteers then fill each bottle with water and a few drops of chlorine bleach that can hold back algae (藻) growth. They then fit the bottle tightly into a custom-cut hole in the roof of a home, with the bottom of the bottle extending down into the room below. This allows the clear plastic bottle and water to reflect the sun’s rays and scatter light into the house. A silicone (硅酮) plastic sealant applied to the roof and bottle prevents water leaks during rainy.
On a sunny day, this simple device can produce approximately 50 watts of light in an otherwise dark room. Because plastics are lightweight and durable, the bottle lights are easy to install and are expected to last more than five years. And the materials to produce the lights cost very little — or nothing, in the case of abandoned bottles gathered by volunteers — which makes it possible for A Liter of Light to help many, many people.
This simple technology was originally the brainchild of Alfredo Moser from Brazil, a mechanic in SAA Paulo, Brazil, to light his workshop when his neighborhood was suffering energy shortages. Later it was updated largely by MIT students who use lead acid batteries coming with a 30-watt solar panel that can withstand strong winds.
This grassroots movement has spread to 32 countries, involving 2,800 young volunteers from around the world. Liter of Light is rethinking solar lighting for the developing world, using inexpensive and readily available materials. The technology is simple and creates local jobs, teaches green skills and empowers energy-poor communities.
4. What leads to so many people still living in darkness in Manila
A. The lack of sufficient wood and stone to build houses.
B. Unaffordable electricity and building materials.
C. The extreme weather caused by global climate.
D. The highest rate of unemployment.

A. The principle behind the lights. B. The hardships the volunteers face.
C. The process of producing the lights. D. The greatness of the selfless volunteers.
6. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph4
A. The mechanic. B. The plastics they use.
C. The technology. D. The workshop.
7. The purpose of the writer in writing the passage is ________.

B. to urge us to donate to those in need on earth
C. to show us ways to fight against poverty
D. to introduce a program A Liter of Light

During the 1930s, the Great War broke out. A 25-year-old American soldier, probably never thought that his life would change forever when he volunteered to go to France.
One night while the American unit was returning to the base after a bloody fight, Suleyman stumbled into the ground and noticed a bit of movement from the bush. Being stuck between two choices either its enemy or an animal, Suleyman found a five-year-old girl from the bushes shivering with cold and utmost fear. Due to the atrocity of the war, the girl was abandoned by her family and the whole village was killed.
During the war, it was impossible to find the child’s family so Suleyman took this little French girl under his wings and gave her an American name Flora which means like the flower. Soon, Flora became the apple of the eye of everyone living in the army camp.
For one and a half years, Flora and Suleyman became inseparable; however, every fairy tale comes to an end. When the war ended, Suleyman was sent back to USA, while Flora was put in an orphanage, the Normandy School, which was founded by the American government for orphaned French children to have an education.
For years, Suleyman always thought about Flora. When the French National Olympic Team was playing in the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984, Suleyman gazed through the audience on TV, hoping to catch a glimpse of Flora, but he never could.
At the age of 85, Suleyman attended the 60th anniversary reception of the Great War where Suleyman shared his story with American and French officials. After hearing his story, a French journalist started to investigate the story, and all government files were read in detail. The moment the journalist helped dial the number, in tears, Flora said Suleyman was her hero, and everything came flooding back to her.

D. Flora was sent to an orphanage when she was found.

Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT has got viral, winning 100 million internet users since it came out in November 2022. People can ask the robot to write stories and emails, create instructions for cooking a certain food, translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions. In its own words, it is “a language model trained in a large amount of internet text to help users get human-like text. ”
Compared with Siri or other chatbots, ChatGPT uses a much bigger information center for training. It also uses stronger software and hardware to learn things by itself. For example, if it provides a wrong answer to your question, you can tell it the right one and it will correct itself. “It’s a totally different chatbot,” computer scientist Liu Xiaoguang from Nankai University said. “The knowledge level ChatGPT shows is the same as a university student. That’s why it shocked the world.”
But one big problem with ChatGPT is that it makes mistakes or even gives false information. When Rezza, a 28-year-old from Indonesia, used the robot to write an passage, it “gave out many examples which other writers actually hadn’t mentioned at all”, he told a local newspaper. Since the robot is trained using words from the internet, it can also pick up biases(偏见) about certain groups. These are all things that need to be dealt with.
12. What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 1
A. Done harm to the internet. B. Brought strong wind and heavy rain.
C. Become popular overnight. D. Caused serious changes of the weather.
13. Why did ChatGPT shock the world
A. It can find mistakes by itself.
B. It works differently from other chatbots.
C. Its information center is easier to control than Siri’s.
D. Its knowledge level is as high as a university student.
14. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A ChatGPT needs improvement. B. Anybody may give false information.
C. Anybody can make mistakes. D. ChatGPT can’t get on well with humans.
15. What might be the best title of the text
A. ChatGPT is Coming! B. ChatGPT is Catching the World’s Eyes!
C. Can ChatGPT Take the Place of Humans D. Can ChatGPT Avoid Biases Properly

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。
As the late afternoon sun beat down on his farm last May, Brandon Leseberg finished feeding his cows and decided to call it a day. As they often did, his two sons, Louie, 6, and Everett, 3 followed him. As they headed for the house, the two boys ran ahead of their father who stopped to close the gate. Louie stopped at a water tap (水龙头) above an old well. Unknown to the Lesebergs, the board covering the well had, over time, grown brittle (易碎的). When Louie stepped on it, it caved in.
Brandon had just finished locking the gate when he tuned around and saw only his youngest son. “Where’s Louie ” he shouted. “He fell in the hole!” Everett said. Brandkon, 37, quickly realized what had happened. He ran to the well and heard Louie struggling. Without hesitation, he jumped in.
As he fell some 70 feet down the well Brandon heard Louie screaming. Somehow Brandon managed to grab onto a pipe that ran down the side of the well. He hit the cold water at the bottom of the well. He popped his head out of the water and grabbed Louie, who was panicking and trying to stay afloat (漂浮的) in the water. Brandon raised his son onto his chest as he put his own legs and back against the narrow walls for support. “All right, Dad, you can pull us out now,” Louie said.
If only it were that easy. There was no way he could climb out. The pipe that he’d grabbed during his fall was too slippery (滑的) to be of any use. There was only one way out. Looking up to see Everett looking down at them from the top of the well, Brandon shouted, “Everett, you’re going to have to be a big boy and save us. Run to the road and stand by the mailbox until someone stops. Tell them we need help.”
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。
Everett did as he was told.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The neighbours now turned their attention to Brandon, but he was too heavy to pull out of the well using just the rope.

In the poverty-stricken neighborhoods in and around Manila, Philippines, millions of people live in darkness in their homes — even in the daytime. Electricity is often too expensive, and windows are a building expense that many cannot bear. To change this, a local social entrepreneur has created a program called A Liter of Light that shines the homes of underprivileged families by creating solar-powered light bulbs from a resource some may find surprising: used plastic soft drink bottles.
Volunteers for A Liter of Light begin by gathering abandoned, clear plastic bottles. The volunteers then fill each bottle with water and a few drops of chlorine bleach that can hold back algae (藻) growth. They then fit the bottle tightly into a custom-cut hole in the roof of a home, with the bottom of the bottle extending down into the room below. This allows the clear plastic bottle and water to reflect the sun’s rays and scatter light into the house. A silicone (硅酮) plastic sealant applied to the roof and bottle prevents water leaks during rainy.
On a sunny day, this simple device can produce approximately 50 watts of light in an otherwise dark room. Because plastics are lightweight and durable, the bottle lights are easy to install and are expected to last more than five years. And the materials to produce the lights cost very little — or nothing, in the case of abandoned bottles gathered by volunteers — which makes it possible for A Liter of Light to help many, many people.
This simple technology was originally the brainchild of Alfredo Moser from Brazil, a mechanic in SAA Paulo, Brazil, to light his workshop when his neighborhood was suffering energy shortages. Later it was updated largely by MIT students who use lead acid batteries coming with a 30-watt solar panel that can withstand strong winds.
This grassroots movement has spread to 32 countries, involving 2,800 young volunteers from around the world. Liter of Light is rethinking solar lighting for the developing world, using inexpensive and readily available materials. The technology is simple and creates local jobs, teaches green skills and empowers energy-poor communities.
4 What leads to so many people still living in darkness in Manila
A. The lack of sufficient wood and stone to build houses.
B. Unaffordable electricity and building materials.
C. The extreme weather caused by global climate.
D. The highest rate of unemployment.
5. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2
A. The principle behind the lights. B. The hardships the volunteers face.
C. The process of producing the lights. D. The greatness of the selfless volunteers.
6. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph4
A. The mechanic. B. The plastics they use.
C. The technology. D. The workshop.
7. The purpose of the writer in writing the passage is ________.
A. to explain the reasons to choose plastic bottles as lights
B. to urge us to donate to those in need on earth
C. to show us ways to fight against poverty
D. to introduce a program A Liter of Light
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D

细节理解题。根据第一段中“In the poverty-stricken neighborhoods in and around Manila, Philippines, millions of people live in darkness in their homes — even in the daytime. Electricity is often too expensive, and windows are a building expense that many cannot bear. (在菲律宾马尼拉及其周边的贫困社区，数百万人即使在白天也生活在黑暗中。电费往往太贵，而窗户是许多人无法承受的建筑费用)”可知，由于电费太贵，因此导致菲律宾马尼拉及其周边的贫困社区数百万人无法承受的建筑费用。故选B。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Volunteers for A Liter of Light begin by gathering abandoned, clear plastic bottles. The volunteers then fill each bottle with water and a few drops of chlorine bleach that can hold back algae (藻) growth. They then fit the bottle tightly into a custom-cut hole in the roof of a home, with the bottom of the bottle extending down into the room below. This allows the clear plastic bottle and water to reflect the sun’s rays and scatter light into the house. (“A Liter of Light”的志愿者们从收集废弃的透明塑料瓶开始。然后志愿者们在每个瓶子里装满水和几滴氯漂白剂，氯漂白剂可以抑制藻类的生长。然后，他们把瓶子紧紧地塞进屋顶上一个定制的洞里，瓶子的底部延伸到下面的房间。这使得透明的塑料瓶和水反射太阳光线，并将光线散射到房子里)”可知，本段主要讲述的是产生光的过程。故选C。

During the 1930s, the Great War broke out. A 25-year-old American soldier, probably never thought that his life would change forever when he volunteered to go to France.
One night while the American unit was returning to the base after a bloody fight, Suleyman stumbled into the ground and noticed a bit of movement from the bush. Being stuck between two choices either its enemy or an animal, Suleyman found a five-year-old girl from the bushes shivering with cold and utmost fear. Due to the atrocity of the war, the girl was abandoned by her family and the whole village was killed.
During the war, it was impossible to find the child’s family so Suleyman took this little French girl under his wings and gave her an American name Flora which means like the flower. Soon, Flora became the apple of the eye of everyone living in the army camp.
For one and a half years, Flora and Suleyman became inseparable; however, every fairy tale comes to an end. When the war ended, Suleyman was sent back to USA, while Flora was put in an orphanage, the Normandy School, which was founded by the American government for orphaned French children to have an education.
For years, Suleyman always thought about Flora. When the French National Olympic Team was playing in the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984, Suleyman gazed through the audience on TV, hoping to catch a glimpse of Flora, but he never could.
At the age of 85, Suleyman attended the 60th anniversary reception of the Great War where Suleyman shared his story with American and French officials. After hearing his story, a French journalist started to investigate the story, and all government files were read in detail. The moment the journalist helped dial the number, in tears, Flora said Suleyman was her hero, and everything came flooding back to her.
8. What does the underlined word “atrocity” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Challenge. B. Cruelty. C. Range. D. Stress.

A. Because Flora might be in the French team.

A. Suleyman found some enemies in the bush.
B. Suleyman saw Flora again with the help of officials.
C. Flora and Suleyman became attached to each other.
D. Flora was sent to an orphanage when she was found.

【8题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句后半部分“the girl was abandoned by her family and the whole village was killed (这个女孩被家人抛弃，全村的人都被杀害了)”说明战争是非常残酷的，从而推知划线部分“Due to the atrocity of the war (由于战争的atrocity)”中划线词汇意思是“残酷”。故选B项。

Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT has got viral, winning 100 million internet users since it came out in November 2022. People can ask the robot to write stories and emails, create instructions for cooking a certain food, translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions. In its own words, it is “a language model trained in a large amount of internet text to help users get human-like text. ”
Compared with Siri or other chatbots, ChatGPT uses a much bigger information center for training. It also uses stronger software and hardware to learn things by itself. For example, if it provides a wrong answer to your question, you can tell it the right one and it will correct itself. “It’s a totally different chatbot,” computer scientist Liu Xiaoguang from Nankai University said. “The knowledge level ChatGPT shows is the same as a university student. That’s why it shocked the world.”
But one big problem with ChatGPT is that it makes mistakes or even gives false information. When Rezza, a 28-year-old from Indonesia, used the robot to write an passage, it “gave out many examples which other writers actually hadn’t mentioned at all”, he told a local newspaper. Since the robot is trained using words from the internet, it can also pick up biases(偏见) about certain groups. These are all things that need to be dealt with.
12. What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 1
A. Done harm to the internet. B. Brought strong wind and heavy rain.
C. Become popular overnight. D. Caused serious changes of the weather.
13. Why did ChatGPT shock the world
A. It can find mistakes by itself.
B. It works differently from other chatbots.
C. Its information center is easier to control than Siri’s.
D. Its knowledge level is as high as a university student.
14. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. ChatGPT needs improvement. B. Anybody may give false information.
C. Anybody can make mistakes. D. ChatGPT can’t get on well with humans.
15. What might be the best title of the text
A. ChatGPT is Coming! B. ChatGPT is Catching the World’s Eyes!
C. Can ChatGPT Take the Place of Humans D. Can ChatGPT Avoid Biases Properly
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B

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。
As the late afternoon sun beat down on his farm last May, Brandon Leseberg finished feeding his cows and decided to call it a day. As they often did, his two sons, Louie, 6, and Everett, 3 followed him. As they headed for the house, the two boys ran ahead of their father who stopped to close the gate. Louie stopped at a water tap (水龙头) above an old well. Unknown to the Lesebergs, the board covering the well had, over time, grown brittle (易碎的). When Louie stepped on it, it caved in.
Brandon had just finished locking the gate when he tuned around and saw only his youngest son. “Where’s Louie ” he shouted. “He fell in the hole!” Everett said. Brandkon, 37, quickly realized what had happened. He ran to the well and heard Louie struggling. Without hesitation, he jumped in.
As he fell some 70 feet down the well Brandon heard Louie screaming. Somehow Brandon managed to grab onto a pipe that ran down the side of the well. He hit the cold water at the bottom of the well. He popped his head out of the water and grabbed Louie, who was panicking and trying to stay afloat (漂浮的) in the water. Brandon raised his son onto his chest as he put his own legs and back against the narrow walls for support. “All right, Dad, you can pull us out now,” Louie said.
If only it were that easy. There was no way he could climb out. The pipe that he’d grabbed during his fall was too slippery (滑的) to be of any use. There was only one way out. Looking up to see Everett looking down at them from the top of the well, Brandon shouted, “Everett, you’re going to have to be a big boy and save us. Run to the road and stand by the mailbox until someone stops. Tell them we need help.”
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。
Everett did as he was told.

The neighbours now turned their attention to Brandon, but he was too heavy to pull out of the well using just the rope.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Everett did as he was told. About 15minutes later, Dan and Christi, nearby farmers, were driving by when they noticed Everett alone by the side of the road, waving. They pulled over and asked if he was OK. “My daddy’s in a hole” he told them. Hearing this, they piled Everett into their pickup and then drove to the well. “Brandon” Dan shouted, “It’s Dan. We’re going to send a rope down to you.” After several minutes they pulled Louie out of the well.
The neighbours now turned their attention to Brandon, but he was too heavy to pull out of the well using just the rope. After a brief discussion, they decided to use the old windmill that still stood over the well. Forty-some minutes after he’d jumped into the well to save his son, Brandon emerged, cold and wet. “You are our life saver.” Brandon thanked Dan, who turned to Everett. Dan said. “Everett is actually your life saver. Without him, I wouldn’t have known the accident, let alone the rescue!” Words couldn’t express his surprise when the father turned to the 3-year-old boy. Finally they thanked Dan again together.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Brandon Leseberg喂完牛后，和两个儿子Louie和Everett一起回家，在Brandon停下来关门时，Louie踩在覆盖在井盖上的木板上，由于木板老化断裂，他掉进了井里。Brandon跳进井里抓住了Louie，但是因为水太深，两人都不能逃出，Brandon让井口的Everett去路边寻求帮助。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Everett照他说做了。”可知，第一段可描写Everett找到了人来帮忙以及前来帮忙的人所提供的帮助。
②由第二段首句内容“邻居们现在把注意力转移到Brandon身上，但他太重了，光用绳子根本拉不出井来。”可知，第二段可描写邻居们怎么救起Brandon和父子们的感谢。
2.续写线索：Everett去求救——邻居停下车——了解了情况——开车到井边——拉出Louie——利用旧风车拉起Brandon——感激
