（22-23八年级下·江苏无锡·阶段练习）ChatGPT, a smart AI tool, has swept the education world in the past months. According to a US survey of more than 1,000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with their homework. Developed by US company Open AI, ChatGPT is a powerful tool. You can ask it to write stories and emails, create a food menu, translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions.
Some schools in the US, Australia and France have banned (禁止) the use of ChatGPT. In the US, for example, New York City public schools banned students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the networks and devices (设备), CNN reported. Why ChatGPT makes it easier for students to cheat on their homework. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread information that is not true.
Besides bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to cut off the use of ChatGPT. Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of homework done on computer, The New York Times reported.

（22-23八年级下·江苏扬州·阶段练习）During work hours, among the sounds of machines, the kitchen of Bach’s Bakery(面包房) is especially tidy and quiet, not because of any rules against talking during work hours, but because all of the workers have a hearing disability. They are hard-working and professional in their work, and use sign language to communicate with each other from time to time.
Bach’s Bakery lies in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It is run by a German couple, UweBrutzer and his wife Dorothce Brutzer, who started it up ten years ago with the purpose of creating more jobs for those disabled in the neighborhood.

（22-23八年级下·江苏无锡·阶段练习）My name is Jack. When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect (尊敬) the elderly. Unluckily, this rule led to my first embarrassment in the United States.
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One day, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respected the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long talk about how sensitive (敏感的) Americans were and how they disliked the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and said sorry to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood the cultural difference, so they laughed and were no longer angry.
In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.

“I’m Jim. I was walking through the tunnel when I tripped（绊倒）. I think I’ve broken my leg.” “The 11:15 train is due（到期）soon,” Peter said. “We must get you out of here.”

（22-23八年级下·江苏常州·阶段练习）Do video games do harm to our children Today, many children spend a lot of their free time playing games on the Internet. In the UK, 99% of kids aged 8 to 15 play video games every week. This information shows that we must carefully think about the good points and bad points of video games.
For many people, video games are fun. They have bright lights, funny cartoons and exciting stories. Everywhere you look, you can see children playing these games. They play on buses and trains in restaurants and even at school.
Video games are educational too. They make kids think in a creative way and they have to move their hands and eyes quickly. This can improve the way that a child’s brain works. What’s more, video games make children use their imagination. The player has to do many creative things, like drawing, telling stories and building things. Video games are also a good way to teach children about technology (技术) because they can learn how computers and other devices work while they play.
However, a recent study suggests that video games can also be bad for children. First, children can download many games for free. This means that parents often don’t know if their children are playing violent or scary (恐怖的) games. Second, many children spend too much time playing games on computers and this can lead to health problems. Third, if children spend too much time playing games instead of doing homework, they can have problems at school and get bad grades. Finally, video games can influence children’s social kills. If children spend too much time playing video games by themselves, .
In a word, it seems clear that video games have some advantages and some disadvantages. It is up to parents to know what games their children are playing and how much time they spend on them. Parents should also make sure their children get enough exercise and spend time with other children.

（22-23八年级下·江苏南京·阶段练习）Did you know that vocabulary(词汇) is more important than grammar If you have good vocabulary, you can communicate successfully, even if the grammar is not completely perfect.
However, one common problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment. Does this often happen to you The reason for this difficulty is that most students try to learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not work if you don’t have a very good memory.
The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words successfully is to learn new words and use them at once. You can do this with a very simple exercise. Every time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than just reading a definition(释义). You should write the word, the definition in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create.
Imagine you just learn the word “generous”, write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective), definition—giving or willing to give freely. Example one, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner, you’re very generous. Example two, my example: My brother is generous because he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. It’s best if your example sentences are true to your life, because this creates a personal connection with the new word. The next day, read your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence using the new word. It’s helpful for you to remember it: These two simple steps—writing the word and using it at once—help you remember and use new words.
Do you have a vocabulary notebook If not, start now.

Smile Train is a charity (慈善机构) that helps millions of children around the world, who suffer from a facial defect (缺陷). The defect happens when a baby’s top lip or mouth doesn’t form properly before birth. Eating and drinking is very difficult for these babies. The charity provides free operations, which give these children a new smile, and with it, new hope and a new beginning.
Children with the defect need all the help. Although many sufferers are accepted by their families, sadly, others are not. In some countries, children with this defect are often abandoned at birth because their parents feel ashamed of them or cannot afford the operations. The good news is that the operation is not difficult. It takes less than an hour and costs the family nothing. The charity raises money and finds the right medical volunteers to perform the operations.
A Smile Train doctor from the UK said, “Each child who has the operation is given a second chance at life. After years of staying at home, the children can finally go to school and be happy. Every year I perform hundreds of operations free of cost through Smile Train. Some of the stories I have heard are quite surprising. One new born baby girl was found abandoned on a train. Luckily for her she was found and adopted (收养) by a passenger. This lady then heard about Smile Train and brought the baby to our hospital. I did the operation and gave hope to the family.

On May 2, the Writers Guild of America（美国编剧协会）called on its 11,500 members to begin a strike（罢工）in Hollywood, California, and New York City in the US. It is the first writers’ strike in more than 15 years, causing many new projects to stop.
One big issue behind the WGA strike is the use of AI programs. They said that AI not be allowed to write or rewrite literary material or be used as source material.
Creative AI programs like ChatGPT can now create human—like literary works. Writers are worried that media companies might someday use AI instead of people to make scripts（剧本）for movies and TV shows. This might bring plagiarism problems as AI usually creates scripts based on a writer’ work.
At the same time, using AI to write scripts has a big influence on writers’ pay. As Warren Leight, an executive producer, said, studios might let AI create a first draft（草稿）, then hire people to do a second draft, which pays less. This makes writers want to “nip that in the bud”.
AI is already being used in the entertainment industry in other ways, such as making actors appear younger and removing dirty words, said Fortune magazine. Although AI is not set to replace human writers anytime soon, the possibility is still there. As James Perry, a TV actor and vice—chair of the WGA’s Disabled Writers Committee told Reuters, “This is a crisis（危机）for writers.”
51．What is the main reason for the WGA members’ strike ________
A．Many writers cannot find jobs without AI.
B．The writers want a raise for their hard work.
C．Writers don’t want AI to be used to create and rewrite scripts.
D．Many new projects were recently stopped because of the use of AI.
52．What do the plagiarism problems in Paragraph 3 refer to ________
A．Writers creating scripts based on AI drafts.
B．Writers copying other writers’ works.
C．AI producing no creative works.
D．AI writing scripts based on a writer’s works.

A．Writers are happy to see that.
B．Writers want to stop that from happening.
C．Writers don’t care about that.
D．Writers thinks it’s possible.
54．What might be James Perry’s idea ________
A．AI brings a sense of crisis to writers.
B．AI is affecting the industry in a positive way.
C．AI will replace writers soon.

（22-23八年级下·江苏扬州·阶段练习）There was a hot topic on the Internet recently. A Tsinghua University student’s online stories about his penny-pinching（不愿意花钱的）campus life have brought any netizens to tears, who were moved by his thorough accounts of how study grants（助学金）and scholarships（奖学金）helped him get over difficulties and inspired him to give back to society in return.
He was born in a poor family and lived with his father. He worked hard on his studies all the time. He was given a total of 13,000 yuan as a scholarship before going to the university. After paying his tuition（学费）and other fees, he had just about 6,500 yuan left, which was all the money he could spend in a year. He ate cheap food in the canteen and avoided class outings which cost much money.
In his junior year, he found himself a part time job near the campus. The work earned him 100 yuan an hour, raising his spending power to 2,000-3,000 yuan a month. After entering the graduate school, he decided, in return, to donate his hard-earned money to needy students. He gave away 3,200 yuan to four students every term through a charity organization. “When I received the money from the university each time, my excitement was beyond words. Perhaps only those who have been poor can understand me,” he said. “Sending coal on a snowy day is far better than adding icing on the cake.”
To express his thanks, the student sent two handwritten letters to the people who had helped him every year, telling them some news on his studies and career plans. “Having received help myself, I believe I should give back to help match the kindness and I am doing so. I hope one day I can set up an organization to help more people in need,” he said.
56．How much were the student’s tuition and other fees
A．About 2,000 yuan. B．About 3,000 yuan. C．About 6,500 yuan. D．About 13,000 yuan.

（22-23八年级下·江苏无锡·阶段练习）Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing(令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”.
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot.

One day, they decided they would start digging under a dead tree near the haunted house. They talked about what they would do with their treasure. Huck said he would spend his so his father couldn’t get any of it. They dug for a while, and then gave up and tried another place. There’s no treasure there, either. Tom realized they should return at midnight to dig again. As a result, the boys failed to find treasure that night. Finally they both agreed that the next day they would dig in the haunted house, and Huck believed they were taking chances to get treasure if they did.
They met again with their tools and went to the haunted house. They explored the downstairs, as they got ready to leave, they heard two men coming to the door of the house. Scared, the boys hid themselves upstairs to see who they were. They recognized one man. It was Injun Joe! The unknown man was saying something dangerous. Tom and Huck were scared to death, so they stayed quiet. The men were talking about some “work” that the unknown man believed to be too dangerous. Tom and Huck couldn’t believe they were watching real robbers bury treasure! It included thousands of dollars in gold and treasure.
The men wanted to bury all their treasure again when Injun Joe started wondering why there were some tools in the house. Surely someone was there, he decided to hide the money somewhere else. He then started looking around the house for the owners of the tools. He was almost up the stairs when the bad wood broke and he fell down. Then the boys walked home quickly.

Like detectives, archaeologists use evidence to solve mysteries. Detectives look for clues to solve crimes. Archaeologists look for clues to help them understand how people lived long ago. In fact, the word “archaeology” means “the study of ancient things”. One type of evidence used to learn about the past is pottery.
People have used pottery for thousands of years all over the world. Old pottery is usually found in pieces called “potsherds”. Sometimes potsherds found in the same place can be put back together to recreate the original pot. Even in pieces, old pottery can teach us about the past. When examining pottery, archaeologists consider not only its appearance but what it was made of and how it was made. With this knowledge, they can get information about people’s lives in ancient times. ①
Pottery is made by first adding water to a kind of soil called clay. When wet, clay can be formed into shapes. It is then heated. This hardens(使变硬) the clay and allows it to keep its shape. To make clay easier to shape and heat, potters(制陶工) use something called “temper”. Different materials can be used as temper. An archaeologist can tell where a pot came from by the types of clay and temper that were used. Sometimes a pot found in one location might have materials from another place. ②
Some of the earliest pots were made quite simply. A piece of clay was hollowed(掏空) out and shaped into a bowl. It was then heated at a low temperature. The finished pot was rough(粗糙), and often undecorated. This type of pot might be used for cooking. ③
Later, coiled pots were made. These were made by first rolling the clay into a long snake shape. The coil was then wound(绕) in circles to form a pot. They were often decorated in different ways. These pots were heated at high temperatures. The higher the temperature, the harder and longer-lasting the pot. Further improvements in pottery-making developed in different times and places. ④
A pot’s shape and decoration can provide clues about the past. Painted pictures might show events from daily life or from ancient stories. Archaeologists know certain shapes and styles that were common in different times and places.
Archaeologists study the differences in types of pottery closely. Because of their work, these daily objects can tell some of the mysteries of the past.
82．When examining pottery, archaeologists consider not only its appearance but what it was made of and how it was made.
The word “examining” means “________” in English.
A．studying B．displaying C．searching D．discovering
83．Why are the words “potsherds” and “temper” written in quotation marks(引号) in Paragraphs 2 and 3
A．To remind readers that both words are very useful.
B．To make sure readers understand the words correctly.
C．To show that these words come from other languages.
D．To introduce the words that may be unknown to readers.
84．When is temper added to the clay
A．Before the clay is shaped. B．After the pot is heated.
C．While the pot is being decorated. D．When the clay is hollowed.
85．We can put the sentence “This can provide clues about how people traded or travelled.” in Blank ________.
A．① B．② C．③ D．④
86．What is the main idea of this passage
A．People have used pottery for thousands of years all over the world.
B．Pots are decorated with pictures that show events from ancient stories.
C．Ancient pottery can tell about the lives of the people who made and used it.
