Do you want to learn about Chinese culture Actually millions of people pay much attention to China partly due
to its great influence of comprehensive power over the world. 1
Learning about culture is not that easy, unless you are a serious learner. Certainly not everyone would like to be a Chinese culture scholar, but if you want to learn more, the best way is to go to China yourself. 2 When you are in China, you will have the opportunity to see people who come from different parts of China. You will learn
more about Chinese culture if you communicate with them.
There are about 5,000 years of Chinese history and millions or even billions of books have been compiled(编 纂)about all kinds of things, stories, theories and so on. 3 Reading books is a good way to learn about
Chinese culture.
4 You can just put yourself into the very environment to experience and explore. This feeling is similar to that which you have for your mother tongue. 5 Though this appears very difficult, it is very useful if you
don’t understand Chinese.
However, no matter what measures you take to learn about this culture, you need to be careful so that you will discover a lot of beautiful but hard-to-find things. And learning Chinese culture will benefit your own knowledge as
well.
A .Or perhaps you may choose to read Chinese stories in English.
B .It is also the most effective way to learn about Chinese culture.
C .You don’t need others to tell you how great and beautiful Chinese culture is.
D .However, there are still a great many people who draw so much attention to its culture.
E .If you are a good learner and have a good Chinese reading ability, you should read these books.
(2023·广东广州 · 统考二模)“Will plants grow on the Moon ” For years, scientists keep trying to find the
answer to this question. Luckily, with their great effort, the answer turns out to be “Yes.” 6
Scientists from University of Florida made this great discovery. 7 They planted thale cress, a small
flowering plant, then added water, nutrients and light, and recorded the results. At first, the scientists weren’t sure if
the seeds would grow. But nearly all of them did. Scientists were amazed with the result.
8 The good news was almost all seeds grew. But after the first week, they grew slowly. Most plants
ended up small and not fully developed.
Scientists also found that the longer the soil was on the Moon, the worse the plants seemed to grow. The moon
soil, staying for several billion years long, was the least helpful for growth. 9
Only 382 kilograms of moon rocks and soil were brought back by the astronauts that landed on the moon. 10
The scientists hope to reuse the soil later, planting more thale cress before possibly moving on to other plants.
“Growing plants is a big step forward. The next step is to go and grow plants on the moon.” a scientist said.
A .Twelve grams of the soil was given for the planting experiment.
B .So a new method might be to use younger moon soil.
C .Scientists have grown plants in moon soil, a first in history.
D .As time went on, scientists made more discoveries.
E .They did a simple experiment to grow plants in moon soil.

experiences. Children have wonderful, emotional experiences with dolphins. 13

that they can do many things.

she is with the dolphins she does better.”

(2023·广东广州 · 统考一模)Have you heard of the APP ChatGPT 26 It offers private and group chats, emojis, stickers, images, and videos, and makes conversations more interesting and attractive. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer questions, admit its mistakes and refuse improper requirements.
27 However, an APP named GPTZero can help to prevent that.
Edward Tian is a computer science student at Princeton University. The 22-year- old created GPTZero in response to (作为回应) the widespread use of ChatGPT. According to the student, the software is able to respond
quickly and correctly. In only a few seconds, it can tell you if a given text is written by AI or a human.
28 These texts help it to find out whether an article is the work of AI or not. To examine one article, the
APP will check how familiar it is with the given article based on the texts he has seen during training. The less
familiar it is, the more likely it is to be the work of a human. GPTZero then scans the article to see how different it
is. A human-written article usually differs a lot. 29
Mr. Tian is an AI supporter. 30 He says that ChatGPT is useful in helping him to write computer code and solve other problems. At the same time, he adds, it is important to develop safeguards (防护措施) for new
technologies.
A .After these two steps, it will give a final score.
B .GPTZero has been trained with different texts.
C .It is a free online chatbot that can perfectly write almost anything.
D .He believes that AI will surely be a great help to life and work if used properly.
E .Since its launch, it has been used by students and workers to cheat by creating written work for them.

We all need friends in our life. 31 Here are four social habits that we should all pay attention to.
Don’t rush it, but don’t forget to open up
32 That’s a little bit strange for the listeners. Other people are afraid of showing their weakness, so they never open up themselves. In these situations, friendship doesn’t get deeper. Friendship is a type of relationship which
shouldn’t get deep too quickly or too slowly.
Don’t stare at your phone
On the bus or subway to work, people are staring at their phones. It may seem okay to mind your own business without talking to other passengers. But looking at one’s phone tells everyone, “ 33 ” Every time people stare
at their screens, they cut themselves off the outside world. They give no chance to be connected with another person.
34
Communicating is more than just speaking. Gestures and facial expressions are also important. The way we stand and sit matters, too. When we don’t sit up straight or make eye contact, it shows that we are not interested. It is not polite and may hurt others’ feelings. To show politeness, smiling helps! It doesn’t need to be a big smile. It needs
to be a real smile.
Don’t talk only, learn to listen
This is something many of us do too easily. When we talk without a stop, we’re just taking, not giving. We are
taking time from others to meet our own needs, but not giving others chances to express themselves. When both
speakers learn to listen, the talking becomes interesting. 35
A .Don’t show unfriendly body language.
B .I am not prepared to talk with you.
C .However, sometimes we find it hard to make friends.
D .Some people share their life stories too fast.
E .Conversations are give-and-take.

Workers at the Marine Biological Association (MBA) in England were surprised when a letter to “George Parker Bidder” arrived at their offices. They couldn’t understand why someone was writing to their former president, who had been dead for more than 60 years. It became clearer when the letter was opened. Inside, there was an old postcard.
On one side was a series of questions about how the postcard had been discovered. 36
The postcard was from a bottle dropped into the North Sea more than a century earlier. It was one of just over 1,000 bottles that Bidder had thrown into the sea as part of a study on the movement of water. 37 They were
picked up by fishermen or by people walking along the beach, who then sent the postcards inside them back to Bidder.
38 It’s possible that some of the bottles with the postcards had broken. But somehow, the bottle with the recently returned postcard had remained in the sea for over a hundred years. It seems that it finally found its way to a sandy beach on an island. 39 After breaking the bottle open, she filled out the postcard and sent it off
to the MBA, not realizing she was posting a message from the distant past.
Unluckily, the old postcard shows nothing new about the movement of water. All it tells the workers is where it
was dropped and where it was found. 40
A .What happened in between remains a secret!
B .However, about 400 bottles had probably got lost.
C .It was then picked up by a woman on holiday there.
D .On the other were directions on how to mail it back.
E .Many bottles were discovered within four years of this experiment.

Did your family get together to elect a member to do the dishes after meals Are you one of the people who
think doing housework is annoying 41
Washing dishes can reduce anxiety. People who cleaned their plates mindfully, such as focusing on smelling the
soap, feeling the water temperature, and touching the dishes, could lower their nervousness levels by 27%. 42
Clearing the kitchen is closely related to body health. A recent study showed that people with untidy homes
were 77% more likely to be overweight. 43 People tend to eat high-calorie snacks rather than green
vegetables when they stay in a messy kitchen. As we all know, this unbalanced diet can finally make people lose
control of their weight, and can even be harmful to their health.
44 Your mom is right: Starting your day with a freshly made bed is what people call a “keystone habit”. It has a chain reaction to bring about a series of good phenomena(现象). Getting up with a tidy bed every morning is linked to better productivity, a greater sense of well-being, and stronger skills at sticking to a budget. Bed-
makers also report getting a better night’s sleep than those who leave their covers messy in the morning.
Growing flowers and vegetables can lower depression risk. 45 It can provide aerobic(有氧的)
exercise via weeding, cutting, and raking. Additionally, gardening activities such as spading, lifting, and tilling can strengthen and tone your muscles, providing you with good anaerobic(无氧的)exercise. Mild exercise has been shown to decrease anxiety and depression. So does gardening. Its effect on reducing anxiety and depression is evident,
too.
A .But few people can realize the effect of it.
B .Making bed every morning can raise productivity.
C .It looks like relaxing, but the intensity is quite high.
D .It may be because choosing healthy food in a messy kitchen is harder.
E .The following four benefits of doing housework might change your mind.

Why do we love sugar so much
Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be hard to stop. When we eat or drink sugary foods, the
sugar enters our blood and makes us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty
foods do this, but sugar has a very strong effect. 61 Doctors recommend we all cut down on it.
“Every time I study an illness and try to find out the first cause, I find my way back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million have diseases.
62
Our bodies are suitable to live on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so their bodies learned to be very good at storing sugar as fat. 63 But today, most people have more than enough. So the
thing we needed before may now be killing us.
64 We need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today’s world, it’s difficult to avoid. From breakfast to
dinner, our foods are increasingly filled with it.
65 Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with fruit. Other schools are growing their own food in
gardens, or encourage students to take more exercise.
A .So what is the good way to solve it
B .It is believed that sugar is one of the causes.
C .But there are those who are fighting back against sugar.
D .In this way, it is in fact something harmful to our health.
E .In this way, they had energy stored for when there was no food.
