（22-23高一下·重庆·期中）From writing Shakespeare-style poetry to making music, ChatGPT has amazed the world since its launch in late 2022 by the US-based company Open AI. The AI program can answer questions on a whole host of topics, and write essays, stories and any other written texts you can think of. It does this by drawing on information collected from a large corpus (语料库) of text data.
6 As Sam Altman, the CEO of Open AI, said in an interview with Forbes, “it’s not actually fundamentally new technology that made this (ChatGPT) have a moment.”
One breakthrough behind today’s model is a network called Transformer, which was invented by Google researchers in 2017. 7 Transformer can therefore understand the meaning of texts more accurately with the help of the context.
The GPT models built by Open AI combined Transformer with unguided learning. 8 ChatGPT can now generate human-like responses instantly due to the large scale of texts it learned from.
“One of the biggest problems with ChatGPT is that it comes back, very confidently, with mistakes,” Michael Wooldridge at the Alan Turing Institute in London, UK, told The Guardian, “because it learns information from various resources. 9 So, at this point, ChatGPT doesn’t know the truth about the world, yet.”
Some argue that ChatGPT will be used to generate fake news, spread misunderstanding, or be used for ill purposes. As for education, many US schools recently banned students from using ChatGPT on school networks since students began to use it as a shortcut for essays and research projects. 10
A．Why is ChatGPT so questionable
B．What makes ChatGPT so impressive
C．However, deciding what is true or false is another story.
D．Long story short, it takes time to make proper use of this powerful AI.
E．That is to say, the models can learn by themselves without being guided.
F．It can infer word meanings by tracking where the word appears in a sentence.
G．It can refer to limitless online dictionaries to identify the meaning of the word.

Studying every day comes first. Learning any new language is a time-consuming process, more than 300 hours according to some linguists (语言学家). Rather than memorize passively for a few hours or review once or twice a week, most experts say short, regular study sessions are more effective. 12
Keep things fresh. Instead of focusing on one single task for the entire study session, try mixing things up. Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, and then perhaps read an article on the same topic. Don’t do too much, and 20 minutes on three different exercises is plenty. 13
14 Talking with English natives, watching English movies or listening to English music whenever you have a chance can also help you unconsciously do better in pronunciation, speech patterns as well as listening.
Writing exercises are a great way to practice. Take 30 minutes at the end of the class or study to write down what happened during your day. 15 By making a habit of writing, you will find your writing skills improve over time.
A．Speak, watch and listen.
B．It is true that you are gifted in writing.

（22-23高一下·陕西宝鸡·期中）The very old samovar (俄国式（大）茶炊) in my home belonged to my great-grandmother’s great-grandmother, and the story of how she bought it has been passed down from generation to generation along with the samovar. 16 .
Almost 200 years ago, my great-grandmother’s great-grandmother was trying to survive yet another freezing Russian winter when she heard about a new invention called a “samovar”, which means “self-boiler” in Russian. In her family, they could only boil water on their big stove. The new samovar could make hot water much easier and could be transported anywhere, not to mention that it required much less fuel. 17 . So early one cold winter morning, she set out to a distant town. After four hours of struggling through snow, she found the town and quickly bundled her new samovar into her sack and hurried home. The samovar was then proudly placed in her main room and has been in use by my family ever since.
18 . First, a teapot containing lots of tea leaves and a little water is placed on top of the samovar. As the samovar heats up, the teapot begins to produce a strong tea concentrate (浓缩液). Next, the tea concentrate is poured into cups, after which water from inside the samovar is added by using the tap. In contrast to special tea ceremonies that can be found in countries like China, the samovar is much less reserved and is traditionally enjoyed with a few sweet snacks. 19 . However, with the samovar, tea is usually taken without milk, and sugar is not placed in the cup but rather in the drinker’s mouth, to be slowly melted away by the warm tea.
In closing, in my opinion, regardless of how it is made, one thing is for sure: Tea makes the world go round! Invented in China, it breaks through cultural barriers and provides great relief after a hard day’s work. Every time we have a special occasion in my family, outcomes the family samovar. 20 , and that’s one thing that I want to keep in my family forever!

B．The samovar is a traditional Russian water boiler that can also brew tea
C．So let me tell you how this samovar became part of our family
D．The samovar tea-making process is quite special and has two stages
E．Although they were poor they decided to use their savings to invest in a samovar
F．It played a big part in Russian history and was a central part of Russian family life for a very long time
G．The samovar symbolizes happiness
（22-23高一下·浙江杭州·期中）Although it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.
Try physical activity
When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. 21 Your body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life.
Share your stress
It helps to talk to someone about your anxieties and worries. Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher or even your leader can help you get a better view of what’s troubling you. If you feel your problem is serious, you might seek professional help from a psychologist or a doctor. 22
Make time for yourself
Schedule time for both work and entertainment. Don’t forget, play can be just as important to you as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go shopping or work on a hobby. 23

（22-23高一下·浙江宁波·期中）John Myatt is an artist. He may not be the greatest artist in the world, but he is possibly the world’s greatest forger (伪造者). He is able to paint pictures in the style of famous artists like Monet and Matisse.
26 This unusual skill got Myatt into a lot of trouble in the 1990s. For many years he taught art at a secondary school, but then he got divorced (离婚) and he gave up his job to spend more time with his children. In order to make some money he started painting pictures in the style of famous artists and selling them.

However, one of his customers, John Drewe, started to resell Myatt’s paintings as genuine, original works. Drewe had sold one of Myatt’s paintings for￡25,000. He contacted Myatt and suggested that they go into business together. Myatt agreed. He continued to paint and Drewe sold his paintings to art collectors around the world. 28
The amazing thing is that Myatt painted his pictures with decorator’s paint. 29 But it soon came to an end. Drewe was divorced too, and his ex-wife found out about the forgeries. She went to the police and they arrested Dewe and Myatt. At their trial Drewe was sent to prison for six years and Myatt for less than one year.
30 When he came out he started to produce pictures in the style of famous artists again. But he put his name on the back, as he’d done before he met Drewe. Myatt is now famous and instead of charging￡150 for a painting, he can charge￡40-50,000.

（22-23高一下·黑龙江哈尔滨·期中）ChatGPT, designed by OpenAI to carry on conversations just like humans, has become a viral excitement.
31 Its ability to provide in-depth answers to user questions has even drawn the attention of distinguished technology companies.
The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense. Its vast body of knowledge has been gathered from the Internet and archived (归档) books. It is further trained by humans. 32
“We have a lot of information on the Internet, but you normally have to Google it, then read it and then do something with it,” says Ricardo. “Now you'll have this resource that can process the whole Internet and all of the information it contains for you to answer your question.”
ChatGPT cannot think on its own. It depends on the information that it has been trained on. As a result, the AI too! works well for things that have accurate data available. However, when unsure, Chat GPT can get creative and flow out incorrect responses. 33 Also, ChatGPT has only been trained with information till 2021. Hence, it cannot be relied upon for anything that happened after that.
34 It can translate long texts into different languages, create content on almost any topic, and even summarize books. However, ChatGPT has received mixed reactions from educators. Some believe it could serve as a valuable tool to help build literacy skills in the classroom. 35 But other educators think ChatGPT will encourage students to cheat. They fear this will prevent them from building critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As a result, many districts are starting to ban its use in schools.
A．OpenAI reminds users to check the information no matter how logical it sounds.
B．This makes ChatGPT a useful tool for researching almost any topic.
C．We've trained a mode! called ChatGPT which interacts in a conversational way.
D．It could also be used to teach students difficult science or math concepts.
E．The AI-powered tool went from zero to a million users in just five days!
F．Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real-world problems.
G．We know that many limitations remain as discussed above.
（22-23高一下·江苏宿迁·期中）Taking an online course for the first time Based on research and best practices from our community, here are some tips for learning online.
Set daily goals for studying
Ask yourself what you hope to accomplish in your course each day. Setting a clear goal can help you stay focused. 36 And don’t forget to praise yourself when you make progress towards your goal!
Have your learning space
It’s easier to recall information if you’ re in the same place where you first learned it, so having your learning space at home to take online courses can make your learning more effective. 37 If possible, make it separate from your bed or sofa. A clear distinction between where you study and where you take breaks can help you focus.
Join the discussion
Course discussion forums are a great place to ask questions about tasks, discuss topics, share resources, and make friends. Our research shows that learners who take part in the discussion forums are 37% more likely to complete a course. 38
Do one thing at a time
Doing several things at the same time is less efficient than focusing on a single task at a time. Researchers found that people who multitask all the time cannot pay attention, recall information, or switch from one job to another as well as those who complete one task at a time. 39 You’ll absorb more information and complete tasks with greater ease than if you were trying to do many things at once.
Take breaks
40 If you find yourself working on a challenging problem without much progress for an hour, take a break. Walking outside, taking a shower, or talking with a friend can lift your spirits and even give you new ideas on how to deal with that problem.
A．So make a post today!
B．Stay focused on one thing at a time.
C．So take action to prepare for the course.
D．It should be specific and easy to measure.
E．Resting your brain is key to good performance.
F．It is necessary to keep your brain active all the way.
G．Remove anything that takes your attention away from the space.

（22-23高一下·陕西延安·期中）How to Learn Vocabulary in a Foreign Language
It is not unusual that language learners regard vocabulary learning as the biggest block, especially in foreign language learning. 56 Try the following strategies to breeze through foreign language vocabulary tests and know words for life.
Trust flashcards. While they seem a little bit out of date, flashcards are still an effective way to learn vocabulary. They’re also cheap and easy to make. You can keep some flashcards on you and quiz yourself whenever you have a few spare minutes throughout the day. Traditional written cards are useful. 57 No matter which kind, the key to flashcards is repetition — use them often, and quiz yourself on old flashcards, too.
Employ multimedia sources to enrich your learning. Watching films and other videos in foreign languages gives you chances to learn new vocabulary and to hear how it is used in authentic speech. If you are interested in the sources, you are more likely to pay attention and learn. 58 Podcasts, YouTube videos, songs and similar sources can all be great ways to learn.
Work with new words rather than just look at them. Studies show that learners need to encounter words several times in different contexts before they really stick. To speed this process up, whenever you learn a new word, look at how it is used in context, and then follow a series of steps. Pronounce the word and spell it. Refer to a dictionary for the meaning of it. 59

A．Communicate with a fluent speaker.
B．So get the kind of the best quality.
C．However, it doesn’t have to be so painful!
D．Make up a sentence with it in your own words.
E．Practice copying it as often as you can to memorize it.
F．Creating virtual ones through apps is also a wise choice.
G．Therefore, it is of vital importance to choose some you prefer!

Many running events encourage runners to raise money for certain charities. Runners can then run together during the race if they choose, and the individual sponsors (赞助者) who donated money to the runners have the satisfaction of helping a charity as well as helping their friends participate in a race. Many runs are scheduled every year in the same location or city because it is a good way to raise money for a cause as well as to encourage physical fitness.

●Medical benefits
67 . Analyzing the effects of zero-gravity on blood circulation(循环)led to many discoveries on how to prevent some types of heart failure. And the experiments and measurements of bone strength and bone loss in astronauts have helped doctors better understand bone diseases.
● 68

Yet, we even don’t know that some NASA engineers originally developed them for the Apollo program that took humankind to the moon. As you can see, it is important for us to keep pushing the limits of space exploration. Who knows what kind of new technologies could be developed that will make our lives easier in the future.

（22-23高一下·辽宁抚顺·期中）If you’re worried about being a self-centered person, that concern shows you’ve already taken an important step towards change. 71
Focus on listening instead of talking. Give others your full attention and really hear them out. Self-centered people often make conversations center around themselves and they tend to get bored when the focus isn’t on them. 72 Give others a chance to speak their minds and do your best to show that you’re really listening.
73 Imagining yourself in their situation helps you understand them better. If your friend is telling you about something that happened to him or her and you just don’t feel engaged (吸引住), it can help to imagine how you would feel in his or her situation. Try asking yourself how you would feel and what you would need if you were him or her. Then, keep those things in mind when you respond to your friend.
Use fewer “I” and “me” statements. Fight the strong wish to talk about yourself in every conversation. It’s an easy habit to get into, but you can’t focus on anyone else if you’re always talking about yourself. Try to actively reduce the number of “I” and “me” statements you make in daily conversation. Studies show that talking about yourself less often can make you happier and healthier. 74
Learn how to compromise (妥协). 75 Compromising means choosing to believe another person’s needs and desires are just as important as your own. Instead of demanding your way during a disagreement comes, try meeting the other person halfway so that each person gets some of their needs met.
A．Let someone else be in charge.
B．Put yourself in someone else’s shoes.
