A
If you don’t know what to watch in the coming holiday, here are the top movie search engines on the web. Some require little or no input before they give you titles, while others want to find out exactly what your interests
are.
Rotten Tomatoes
Instead of telling Rotten Tomatoes which films you like, you can tell it what kind of films you enjoy, which actors you want to see, and other aspects to help it find the best movie for you. The quality of Rotten Tomatoes
recommendations is changeable but it’s also a nice way to find the right film for any mood.
IMDb
IMDb automatically recommends similar films to the movie you search for instead of asking you to input ratings (评分) or to tell it what movies you like. At the bottom of the page, a “Recommendations” section will show you a variety of other films being displayed, based on information gathered from its database, which
examines films to find similarities and differences.
Jinni
Whether you want to search for films based on your mood, time available, or reviews, the site has it all. But Jinni’s most amazing feature is its semantic search. You can enter words like “films that show Chris Farley
yelling” and the site will return films that match your question. Go to use Jinni. You won’t regret it!
Criticker
Instead of just allowing you to rate films, Criticker compares your ratings to those of other users and see how closely your tastes match those of other users. Once the service finds matches, you can view these users ’ lists and see which movies they bining community and functionality, Criticker is a unique, yet worthwhile service

A Houseplant Is Helping Me Survive
My wife Hannah and I usually don’t keep houseplants. Anything in pots gets either overwatered or underwatered. After my diagnosis(诊断) with brain cancer, I loved the idea of having something new and green
and alive around us.
When my friend Mitch gave me what he said was a lucky bamboo plant, we placed it in the living room window where I spent much of each day. I told Hannah I wanted to look after the plant myself. When it didn’t
immediately turn yellow or brown or lose all of its leaves, I was pleasantly surprised.
As a doctor, I was used to being the one who provided care, not the one who received it. Since my diagnosis, it seemed, I had to rely on help from other people. Taking care of the plant gave me the feeling of being happy and satisfied when I felt useless. Watering the plant, as small an act as it was, connected me tosa central part of my old
identity and taught me I could still be a caregiver.
Over the next few months, I recovered from surgery(手术). Even after I returned to work, I continued to care
for the plant. Soon, it had nearly doubled in height and its leaves were shiny. Both the tree and I became healthier.
Then, without any reason, it began to show signs of stress. Its leaves kept browning and dropping to the floor. “I can’t even care for a simple plant!” I yelled. “If my lucky bamboo dies,I might die too!” I couldn’t shake the feeling that the plant had become a symbol( 象 征 ) of my health. Now that the plant was struggling, I grew
increasingly depressed and fearful.
However, recalling what I’d experienced, I learnt that I had wrongly connected my care for the plant— something over which I had at least some control—with my own survival—something over which I had no control. As I realized the fact, my anxiety was actually eased. I searched online to figure out how to take care of my plant.
When it was back in the sunny window, we both became healthier again.
Now, whenever I look at the plant, I would think of Mitch and the other people who have cared for and
supported me.
45 ．The author decided to keep the bamboo because .
A ．he loved to keep houseplants
B ．he believed it helped to clean the air
C ．he thought it was a good way to get relaxed
D ．he wanted to be surrounded by something cheerful
46 ．How did the author feel about looking after the bamboo at first
A ．It made him feel hopeless.
B ．It put an end to his suffering.
C ．It gave him a sense of achievement.
D ．It reminded him of his poor health condition.
47 ．Why did the author become fearful when the bamboo showed signs of stress
A ．Because he couldn’t bear failures.
B ．Because he didn’t know why it was dying
C ．Because he didn’t want to disappoint Mitch.
D ．Because he related his own health to the plant’s.
48 ．How did the author finally relieve his tension
A ．By believing in his recovery in the end
B ．By accepting things beyond his control.
C ．By thinking of those who supported him.
D ．By searching for plant knowledge online.
C
Hibernation （冬 眠 ） is not just sleep. While we sleep, our brains fire up and become highly active; in hibernation, on the contrary, brain activity completely slows down. The body temperature of hibernating animals also drops, in some cases close to the freezing point. Cells (细胞) stop dividing and heart rate decreases to two beats per minute. Yet, once it’s time to wake up, hibernating animals come back to life without any significant side effects like freezing, muscle loss, or loss of bone density during the long winter months. The same, however, can’t be said about people who wake up from long-term medical comas (昏迷), or even those who have to stay in bed for long periods of time. Such people, just like astronauts in microgravity, would suffer from a wide range of side
effects that come from not actively using their bodies.
Scientists are therefore looking into hibernation research with the aim of developing ways to cause hibernation in future space astronauts. Recently, Kelly Drew, a professor of chemistry and biochemistry, has been
rewarded for his research.
The idea is that rather than having astronauts sit for months in a tiny Mars-bound capsule, consuming food, water and air, and gradually wasting away from not doing much in microgravity, a part of the crew members could be placed into hibernation. The hibernating astronauts wouldn’t need any food or water and could manage with much less air — yet they would wake up with their bones and muscles in a much better condition than those of
their awake counterparts.
“This research could be used to help future missions, from the extreme of medically caused hibernation for long term space missions, protecting astronauts from cabin fever, radiation, and much more,” he said. “It could
also prove effective in preventing muscle and bone loss in zero gravity.”
The state of hibernation could also help in the medical setting to help protect patients suffering from life-
threatening conditions such as heart attacks and strokes.
“This could mean that patients who have suffered from a stroke or heart attack could be placed in medically caused hibernation until they can be transported to a hospital to receive care, which could significantly improve
medical outcomes,” the scientist said.
49 ．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 1
A ．The working principles of hibernation. B ．The unique features of hibernation.
C ．The major reasons for hibernation. D ．The side effects of hibernation.
50 ．What does the underlined word “counterparts” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A ．Bones and muscles. B ．Brains. C ．Astronauts. D ．Patients.
51 ．What will scientists probably do in the future research
A ．Study hibernating animals in space missions.
B ．Find ways to put people into hibernation.
C ．Improve medical treatments for patients.
D ．Seek cures for life-threatening diseases.
D
Will chatbots that can generate fascinating articles destroy education as we know it
New York City’s Department of Education recently banned (禁止) the use of ChatGPT. “While the tool may be able to provide quick and easy answers to questions,” says the official statement, “it does not build critical-
thinking skills, which are necessary for academic and lifelong success.”
Banning such use of technology from the classroom is a nearsighted response. Instead, we must find a way
forward in which such technologies combine well with, rather than replace, student thinking.
Banning ChatGPT is impossible in practice. Students will find ways around the ban, which will cause a further defensive response from teachers and administrators, and so on. It’s hard to believe that a close race between those digital natives and their educators will end in a decisive victory for the latter. In fact, chatbots may well speed up a trend (趋向) toward valuing critical thinking. In a world where computers can fluently answer any question, students need to get much better at deciding what questions to ask and how to fact-check the answers the
program generates.
So how do we encourage young people to use their minds when real thinking is so hard to tell apart from its simulacrum ( 假 象) Teachers, of course, will still want to watch students taking old-fashioned, in-person, no-
chatbot-allowed exams to check that they do not cheat.
But we must also figure out how to do something new: how to use tools like GPT to inspire deeper thinking. GPT often generates text that is fluent and “reasonable” — but wrong. So using it requires the same mental heavy lifting that writing does: forming an opinion, creating an outline, picking which points to explain and which to drop, and looking for supporting facts. GPT can help with those tasks, but it can’t put them all together. Writing a good essay still requires lots of human thought and work. Indeed, writing is thinking, and good writing is good
thinking.
One approach is to focus on the process as much as the result. For instance, teachers might require four drafts of an essay. After all, as John McPhee, the famous writer, said, “the central nature of the process is revision.” Each draft gets feedback from the teacher, from peers or even from a chatbot. Then the students produce the next draft,
and so on.8
Will AI one day outperform human beings in thinking Maybe, but for now, we must think for ourselves.
Like any tool, GPT is an enemy of thinking only if we fail to find ways to make it our partner.
52 ．How does the author feel about the ban
A ．Understandable. B ．Irresponsible. C ．Unwise. D ．Necessary.
53 ．Why is it impossible to ban ChatGPT in practice
A ．Because students are digitally fluent.
B ．Because schools will defend the ban.
C ．Because ChatGPT will keep developing.
D ．Because people treasure critical thinking.
54 ．How does the author explain his idea in Paragraph 6
A ．By quoting others. B ．By presenting facts.
C ．By giving examples. D ．By showing similarities.
55 ．What is the passage mainly about
A ．Is GPT a process or a result B ．Will GPT outperform students
C ．Why Chatbots become a new trend D ．How can Chatbots serve education
