Green fields and hills give Ireland its “Emerald Isle” nickname. Rounding out all that unspoiled nature are ancient castles, historic villages, and pubs alive with traditional music. Here’s the best way to experience this colorful corner of Europe.
Rocky coves
The southwest’s rocky coves are rich with seaweed, revealing a little-known piece of Irish history. “In the past people couldn’t eat meat so they would go down around these shores and get laver, or sleabhac, as it’s high in protein,” says Kerryann O’Farrell of Atlantic Irish Seaweed, whose guides lead educational sea vegetable walks at Derrynane Harbour.
Cape Clear Island
Located eight miles off the southern coast, Cape Clear Island (Oileán Chleire) is one of Irish-speaking Gaeltacht areas, which can be found in seven counties and on some islands. On Cape, the former girls school now houses the Heritage Centre with exhibits on the island’s maritime history and culture. Don’t miss the goat milk ice cream at local favorite Cléire Goats.
The River Corrib
While Shop Street and Eyre Square draw the crowds, the Western neighborhood across the River Corrib is the soul of the city. Soak up the bohemian vibe at places like Bell Book and Candle, a treasure trove for new and second-hand books; the monthly Flea Style Market inside the Galway Arts Centre; and the Crane Bar, which features some of the city’s best “trad” fiddle and bodhrán players.
Great Lighthouses of Ireland
Great Lighthouses of Ireland offers a guide to noteworthy beacons around the country. One of the most remote, St. John’s Point Lighthouse rises at the end of a narrow peninsula in County Donegal, looking out to Donegal Bay and County Sligo. Stay overnight in Clipper or Schooner, the former lighthouse keepers’residences, and experience the solitude of keeping watch. Naturally, there’s no Wi-Fi, so umwind and read a book beside the fire, or explore the headland at sunrise.
21. What can’t you do in Cape Clear Island
A. Appreciate local language.
B. Try the goat milk ice cream.
C. Admire the island’s maritime history.
D. Enjoy educational sea vegetable walks.
22. Which would be the best place for someone in need of an undisturbed place
A. Rocky coves. B. Cape Clear Island.
C. The River Corrib. D. Great Lighthouses of Ireland.
23. The passage is most likely taken from ______.
A. a news report B. an advertisement
C. a travel brochure D. an encyclopedia
B
There’s an old African proverb that states, “When you leave your shoes at the doorstep, you leave your troubles behind.” A group of environmental chemists who study what kinds of contaminants people are exposed to in their own homes claim: wearing your outside shoes inside won’t just mess up your carpet; it is, in fact, scientifically wrong.
Shoes worn outside can be media for all kinds of dirt and microbes. According to the experts, about one-third of the matter building up inside your home comes from outside, much of it being tracked in on the soles of our shoes. But not all dirt is bad dirt. Some household germs can actually be useful in helping build up a child’s immune system, for example. But the real issue is that some of the disease-causing organisms found on our shoes and floors are drug-resistant, causing illnesses that are difficult to treat. “Cancer-causing toxins can be found on these shoes,” scientists say, “so it is best to leave your filth outside the door.”
Every day we carry much dirt with us on the soles of our shoes-mud. For many households, the pandemic has greatly reduced the number of places we go to. But even at that, all it takes is one walk down the street or a few minutes at the park to make you bring something nasty back home.
It’s important to note that not wearing shoes inside is more than just a hygiene thing. In many cultures around the world, leaving your shoes at the door is a sign of respect, a nod to superstition and it may even be in service of good health. Reflexologists(反射治疗师) say that walking around barefoot can help boost your circulation, improve your sleep quality and stimulate the reflexes on the soles of your feet, reducing inflammation, pain and tension.
24. What can we learn about dirt
A. All the dirt in the house comes from dirty shoes.
B. The dirt can help build up a child’s immune system.
C. The dirt brought back by shoes is very harmful to adults.
D. About a third of the dirt produced in the home comes from the outside.
25. What’s the author’s attitude towards leaving shoes at the doorstep
A. Supportive B. Critical C. Indifferent D. Neutral
26. There are many benefits of not wearing shoes indoors except ______.
A. showing respect B. stimulating reflection
C. avoiding messing up carpet D. reducing the amount of dirt
27. What’s the best title of the text
A. Walking barefoot or not
B. Getting rid of your home dirt
C. Learning from African proverbs
D. Leaving shoes at the doorstep for health reasons

“ChatGPT is a computer program that can understand and respond to text like a person. It’s like havinga conversation with a very smart robot,” says ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence text generator.
In November of 2022, the computer program ChatGPT generated significant public interest across the globe for its broad applications and commercial value. This AI model demonstrated its ability to perform a variety of tasks, from generating book summaries, recommendations, and personal research assistance, todrafting college SOPs, essays, and emails. According to Ehsan Hoque, Associate Professor of Computer Science at UR, while the concepts used to build ChatGPT are not entirely new, combining them with this AI model marks a significant achievement in the field of AI engineering.
With that being said, the system has also generated contention over its possible violation of academic honesty. The use of ChatGPT for homework assignments is a growing concern for professors across the globe. The University, on the other hand, has not addressed or made a statement on this matter.
There are potential academic violations for homework and exams. One such case is Professor of Political Science and Business David Primo. He entered one of his previous test questions into ChatGPT, and ChatGPT got it exactly correct. Despite concerns, Primo understands that the issue of academic honesty is a concern that has existed and will exist forever. He talks about this as well as the many other negative uses of the internet, saying “The internet makes it easy to spread hateful messages and pirate music, but do you want to go back to a time where you couldn’t bank online, or listen to music online ”
Primo also pictures this technological advancement being integrated into classes and assessments in the future. “Universities should move slowly here and let faculty members experiment with various approaches to AI and adapt to a world of AI,” said Primo.

A. Its ability to perform various tasks.
B. Its achievements in learning technology.
C. Its wide application and commercial value.

30. What might Primo agree with regarding the use of ChatGPT
A. It is a double-edged sword.
B. It has little impact on academia.
C. Its advantages outweigh its disadvantages.
D. It should be prohibited for academic integrity.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. ChatGPT demonstrates its great strength.
B. ChatGPT generates great argument.

A Neurologist’s Tips to Protect Your Memory
As we age, our memory declines. This is a fixed assumption for many people; however, according to neuroscientist Dr. Richard Restak, a neurologist and clinical professor, decline is not unavoidable. 36. ______. Here are some of his tips for developing and maintaining a healthy memory.
Pay more attention.
Some memory declines are actually attention problems, not memory problems. For instance, if you’ve forgotten the name of someone you met at a cocktail party, it could be because you were talking with several people at the time.
One way to pay attention when you learn new information is to visualize the word.37. ______.
Play games.
Dr. Restak’s “favorite working memory game” is 20 Questions —in which a group thinks of a person, place or object, and the other person, the questioner, asks 20 questions with a yes-or-no answer. To succeed, the questioner must hold all of the previous answers in memory in order to guess the correct answer. 38. ______.“Maintaining information and moving it around in your mind.” Restak wrote.
Read more novels.
One early indicator of memory issues, according to Dr. Restak, is giving up on fiction. “People, when they begin to have memory difficulties, tend to switch to reading nonfiction.” Fiction requires active engagement with the text, starting at the beginning and working through to the end.
39. ______.
Storing everything on your phone means that “you don’t know it.” This can damage our own mental abilities. And the phone takes our focus away from the task at hand.
Find regular everyday memory challenges.
40. ______. Dr. Restak suggested composing a grocery list and memorizing it. When you get to the store, don’t automatically pull out your list (or your phone)—instead, pick up everything according to your memory. Once in a while, get in the car without turning on your GPS, and try to navigate through the streets from memory.
A. Beware of technology
B. Sort out things on devices
C. The point is to engage your working memory
D. However, we can prevent the memory decline
E. Ultimately, “we are what we can remember,” he said
F. Having a picture associated with the word can improve recall
G. There are many memory exercises that you can integrate into everyday life

“Class, please line up!” called Ms. Baroni, Jenna’s Taekwondo(跆拳道) instructor. Jenna was excitedwhen Ms. Baroni announced Marti, Jenna’s best friend, would be taking lessons too. Everyone’s warm welcome made Marti blush, and Jenna walked over to comfort her.
After warm-up exercises, Ms. Baroni divided everyone into color-belt groups. Even though Jenna was a yellow belt and a level above Marti, Ms. Baroni asked them to work together. Jenna nodded and demonstrated(展示) a front kick confidently. Marti copied it. Her kick was as high as Jenna’s shoulder. Then came a burst of cheers from Ms. Baroni behind. She spent the next five minutes showing Marti moves.
Jenna threw herself against the wall, staring at Marti copying everything Ms. Baroni did. The more Marti did, the more praise she earned from Ms. Baroni. What if Marti became better than her What if Marti became Ms. Baroni’s favorite student Jenna was practicing her form(招式) halfheartedly when she heard a scolding. “Watch your form!”Jenna turned and noticed Ms. Baroni looking directly at her. Nothing could have beenworse. But afterwards, she heard Ms. Baroni’s encouraging words. “You’ve memorized your form perfectly, but your moves could be better. Try the side kick again.”
However, the encouragement didn’t work. The moment the class was over, Jenna grabbed her bag andhurried outside. She had planned to wait for Marti, but now she preferred to be left alone.
For the following weeks, Marti continued to impress their teacher with her skills. And as Marti turned into a star student, Jenna became less and less excited about taekwondo.
One day, Marti told Jenna the good news that she was ready to test for her new belt with Ms. Baroni’s recognition. Jenna stopped in her tracks and said sourly. “It’s more challenging than you imagine.” Marti looked disappointed. “You don’t think I’m skillful enough to test yet ” Jenna felt her face flushed and denied. She didn’t like feeling jealous, but she couldn’t help it. She wasn’t ready for her next belt because she hadn’t been practicing every day.

Text 10
People think the piano was invented in Germany, Russia or France, but it has its roots here in Italy. (17) Before the piano, there were several instruments made of wooden boxes. They dated back to the year 1500 and even to the year 1400. But then, around1700, B. Cristofori of Italy decided that there needed to be an instrument that could play both soft and loud sounds. This led him to create the world’s first piano. (18) He chose to call it a piano, which means “soft” or “quiet” in Italian. I know about the piano’s inventor because I also create pianos for a living. (20) And I am directly related to this man. Cristofori is also my last name, and I grew up in the same town where he built the first piano.
I can also play well and was inspired by the greatest piano players, such as Beethoven and Chopin. But I never played professionally, as I devoted my life to my family’s tradition. And luckily, I have a grandson who is soon ready to take over my position in our family’s business. (19) To us, our pianos do more than make music. We create pianos that allow for a simple yet beautiful expression of the soul. (20)2023学年第二学期温州十校联合体期末联考

A week later;at the belt testing,Jenna saw Martin warming up.After warm-up exercises,Marti took a deep breath and
started to show her forms,demonstrating the front kick and side kick with confidence.After her last form shown in a perfect
way,floods of cheers and applause came from Ms Baroni and audience present.Undoubtedly,Marti passed the belt test.At
the sight of Marti's excited expression,Jenna was overwhelmed by a sense of envy."How could she make it "Jenna
murmured.Then came Ms Baroni's voice."Jenna deserves success.She nearly employed all her spare time to practice."
Jenna thought,"I don't practice that much in a week!"No wonder that Marti performed so well.Reflecting on what she
had done before,Jenna felt ashamed of her behavior and regretted not practicing attentively.As Jenna was immersed in
thoughts,Marti approached and invited her to celebrate this exciting occasion.At that moment,Jenna realized the holy
friendship between them could not be defeated by jealousy and spilt out all her inner feelings to Marti.With a mixture of
astonishment and guilt,Marti hugged Jenna tightly and made an appointment that she would practice with Jenna every day.
