A movie about rural soccer players focuses on teenage girls and seeks to inspire audiences to follow dreams. In late 2018, Fei Yu, a director from Sichuan Province, went into the poor villages of Yunnan Province in search of inspiration. During the journey, one idea attracted him as he watched children playing soccer in a village, which is located around 110 kilometers north of Lijiang.
As a gentle wind swept-through the valley, Fei listened to the faraway sounds of horses and children and a clear image began to form in his mind — that a group of children playing soccer on the village roofs (屋顶). That image inspired the opening scene of Football on the Roof, and after taking home the special award in the films market project section of the 2023 China Golden Rooster and Hundred Fowers Film Festival, the film was on across the Chinese mainland on April 20.
The film tells the journey of a teenage girl, Aime, who’s crazy about soccer. She has the hope that by advancing to the finals in a competition, her mother, who has left thefr rural hometown to work in a big city, might see her on television. Facing many challenges, she helps her elder sister and her classmates to start a soccer team and asks a fruit seller who used to be a soccer star to coach them. Her determination pays off as she is finally selected to join the team and takes part in an important match.
During Fei Yu’s search for inspiration, he met a girl, who was eager to invite the director to her home, showed him around, and used a long wooden stick to pick fresh lemons off a tree as a treat. The director was deeply moved when he realized that the grl, who had been left in the care of a grandfather who’s continually busy with rural difficult tasks, longed to feel more connected to her parents working in a faraway city.
She became the source for the female main characters in the movie. Traveling to many areas, from the cities of Lijiang and Kaiyuan, to Chuxiong, Fei Yu and his team chose around 10, 000 students in 203 schools before selecting all main characters.
“The shoot has ended, but the young girl’s love for soccer has not. She has found a new direction to shoot for in life. This is very meaningful,” says Fei, adding that he hopes the audience will also find strength and courage to realize their dreams through the film.
30. Why did Fei Yu go into the village
A. To teach soccer. B. To help the poor girls.
C. To achieve an award. D. To try to find inspiration.
31. According to the passage, what do we know about the film
A. Aime goes to the village near Lijiang.
B. Aime isn’t chosen to join the soccer team finally.
C. The film named Football on the Roof is successful.
D. The film tells the journey of a boy’s passion about soccer.
32. Why did Aime hope to advance to the finals in a competition
A. To show her love for soccer.
B. To leave the rural hometown.
C. To be seen by her mother on TV.
D. To be coached by a former soccer star.
33. When realizing the girl longed to feel more connected to her parents, Fei Yu felt________.
A. touched B. interested C. inspired D. amazed
34. Which would be the best title for this passage

Teachers were shocked when ChatGPT appeared a year ago. This AI chat robot can write clear, well-researched essays in response to given questions, forcing educators around the world to rethink their evaluation (测评) methods. A few countries brought back pen-and-paper exams, and some schools asked students to do their homework at school, after learning about a subject at home.
There are risks, but some educators think that ChatGPT and other large language models(LLMs)can be powerful learning tools. They could help students by providing a personalized guiding that is available at any time and might be accessible to more students than human teachers would be. Or they could help teachers and students by making information that only exists in the textbooks much easier to find and understand.
There are still probkems to be solved. Questions remain about whether LLMscan be made correct and reliable enough to be trusted as learning helpers. It’s too soon to know what their final effect on education will be, but more institutions (研究机构) need to explore ChatGPT’s advantages and dangers, and share what they are leaning, or their students might miss aut on a valuable tool.
Despite the risks, educators should not avoid using LLMs. Rather, they need to teach students the chat robot’s strengths and weaknesses and support institutions’ efforts to improve the models for educatton-specific purposes. This could mean building task-specific versions of LLMs that harness their strengths in dialogue and summarization and reduce the risks of a chat robot providing students with inaccurate (不准确的) information or enabling them to cheat.
Arizona State University (ASU), for example, developed a platform that enables its members to use LLM-powered chat robots. These robots are instructed to seek answers to users’questions in specific data sets, such as scientific papers or lecture notes. This approach not only makes use of the chat robot’s conversational power, but alsozreduces the chance of errors.
As understanding of the LLMs’power and limitations increases, more university- wide plans will certainly appear. Using LLMs without considering their disadvantages will gain the opposite effect. For many educational purposes, error-prone (容易出错 的) tools damage students’ability to learn and cannot help students. But some institutions are trying to reduce the LLMs’weaknesses, even aiming to turn those into strengths by, for example, using them to improve students’critical-thinking skills.
Educators must be brave to avoid missing a huge opportunity and careful to ensure that institutions everywhere use LLMs in a way that makes the world better, not worse.
35. What can we infer about ChatGPT from Paragraph 1
A. It is used in exams by some students. B. It is going to replace human teachers.
C. It is especially popular among teachers. D. It improves educators’ evaluation methods.
36. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. LLMs’possible risks. B. LLMs’powerful tools.
C. ILMs’leaning ability. D. LLMs’potential benefits.
37. What should students know when using LLMs
A. Their task-specific versions.
B. Their strengths and weaknesses.
C. Their problems and possible risks.
D. Their models for education purposes.
38. What does the underlined word “harness” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Improve. B. Discover. C. Use. D. Test.
39. As for the future of LLMs, the writer is _________
A. confused B. hopeful C. unconcerned D. doubtful

阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在答 题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。
The world’s seas, lakes and rivers are under much pressure from climate change, growing demand, development of cities and pollution, threatening their ability to support life.
Without better data to understand the health of increasingly stressed waterways, the fight to save these most precious resources will be ineffective, says Simeon Pieterkosky, co-founder of the technology company Aquaai. “Visually every waterway is polluted so seriously that the ecosystem (生态系统) just can’t balance back anymore,” he explains.
Aquaai is aiming to fill that information gap by using fish-like robots that collect data from underwater environments. Powered by batteries, they are designed to look and swim like a fish, with a body and tail that move from side-to-side as they swim through the water.
The standard version is about 4 feet long (1. 3 meters) and weighs 30 kilograms and can be equipped with cameras and sensors (传感器) to measure oxygen, pH levels and the amount of salt contained in the water.
Pieterkosky was inspired to build the robots after his eight-year-old daughter leamed about the dangerous situation of the seas and asked him to protect them. He says it’s important that the robots can swim among the fish without being noticed by them.
The company has put its technology to use in California, where it was founded, and in Norway, where it has a branch company. It has operated in both fresh and salt water, and near fish farms, checking things like water quality and fish health. Many fish farms use fixed sensors to monitor (监测) water quality, but CEO and co-founder Liane Thompson says this can be inefficient in giant farms, where fish might gather away from the sensors. Instead, Aquaai’s robots swim with the fish, collecting data wherever they go.
Thompson says its technology could be used in the areas for water management, fish farming operations and searching for abandoned fishing equipment. Besides, across the world, water resources are typically monitored by workers, which is slow and needs many people. She believes better automation is quite needed.
Automation “should play a key role in the future of water management by reducing waste and improving data collection for better decision-making,” said Robert C. Brears, the founder of water protection website Our Future Water.

This AI chat robot can write clear, well-researched essays in response to given questions, forcing educators around the world to rethink their evaluation (测评) methods. A few countries brought back pen-and-paper exams, and some schools asked students to do their homework at school, after learning about a subject at home.
There are risks, but some educators think that ChatGPT and other large language models(LLMs)can be powerful learning tools. They could help students by providing a personalized guiding that is available at any time and might be accessible to more students than human teachers would be. Or they could help teachers and students by making information that only exists in the textbooks much easier to find and understand.
There are still probkems to be solved. Questions remain about whether LLMscan be made correct and reliable enough to be trusted as learning helpers. It’s too soon to know what their final effect on education will be, but more institutions (研究机构) need to explore ChatGPT’s advantages and dangers, and share what they are leaning, or their students might miss aut on a valuable tool.
Despite the risks, educators should not avoid using LLMs. Rather, they need to teach students the chat robot’s strengths and weaknesses and support institutions’ efforts to improve the models for educatton-specific purposes. This could mean building task-specific versions of LLMs that harness their strengths in dialogue and summarization and reduce the risks of a chat robot providing students with inaccurate (不准确的) information or enabling them to cheat.
Arizona State University (ASU), for example, developed a platform that enables its members to use LLM-powered chat robots. These robots are instructed to seek answers to users’questions in specific data sets, such as scientific papers or lecture notes. This approach not only makes use of the chat robot’s conversational power, but alsozreduces the chance of errors.
As understanding of the LLMs’power and limitations increases, more university- wide plans will certainly appear. Using LLMs without considering their disadvantages will gain the opposite effect. For many educational purposes, error-prone (容易出错 的) tools damage students’ability to learn and cannot help students. But some institutions are trying to reduce the LLMs’weaknesses, even aiming to turn those into strengths by, for example, using them to improve students’critical-thinking skills.
Educators must be brave to avoid missing a huge opportunity and careful to ensure that institutions everywhere use LLMs in a way that makes the world better, not worse.

阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在答 题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。
The world’s seas, lakes and rivers are under much pressure from climate change, growing demand, development of cities and pollution, threatening their ability to support life.
Without better data to understand the health of increasingly stressed waterways, the fight to save these most precious resources will be ineffective, says Simeon Pieterkosky, co-founder of the technology company Aquaai. “Visually every waterway is polluted so seriously that the ecosystem (生态系统) just can’t balance back anymore,” he explains.
Aquaai is aiming to fill that information gap by using fish-like robots that collect data from underwater environments. Powered by batteries, they are designed to look and swim like a fish, with a body and tail that move from side-to-side as they swim through the water.
The standard version is about 4 feet long (1. 3 meters) and weighs 30 kilograms and can be equipped with cameras and sensors (传感器) to measure oxygen, pH levels and the amount of salt contained in the water.
Pieterkosky was inspired to build the robots after his eight-year-old daughter leamed about the dangerous situation of the seas and asked him to protect them. He says it’s important that the robots can swim among the fish without being noticed by them.
The company has put its technology to use in California, where it was founded, and in Norway, where it has a branch company. It has operated in both fresh and salt water, and near fish farms, checking things like water quality and fish health. Many fish farms use fixed sensors to monitor (监测) water quality, but CEO and co-founder Liane Thompson says this can be inefficient in giant farms, where fish might gather away from the sensors. Instead, Aquaai’s robots swim with the fish, collecting data wherever they go.
Thompson says its technology could be used in the areas for water management, fish farming operations and searching for abandoned fishing equipment. Besides, across the world, water resources are typically monitored by workers, which is slow and needs many people. She believes better automation is quite needed.
Automation “should play a key role in the future of water management by reducing waste and improving data collection for better decision-making,” said Robert C. Brears, the founder of water protection website Our Future Water.

A movie about rural soccer players focuses on teenage girls and seeks to inspire audiences to follow dreams. In late 2018, Fei Yu, a director from Sichuan Province, went into the poor villages of Yunnan Province in search of inspiration. During the journey, one idea attracted him as he watched children playing soccer in a village, which is located around 110 kilometers north of Lijiang.
As a gentle wind swept-through the valley, Fei listened to the faraway sounds of horses and children and a clear image began to form in his mind — that a group of children playing soccer on the village roofs (屋顶). That image inspired the opening scene of Football on the Roof, and after taking home the special award in the films market project section of the 2023 China Golden Rooster and Hundred Fowers Film Festival, the film was on across the Chinese mainland on April 20.
The film tells the journey of a teenage girl, Aime, who’s crazy about soccer. She has the hope that by advancing to the finals in a competition, her mother, who has left thefr rural hometown to work in a big city, might see her on television. Facing many challenges, she helps her elder sister and her classmates to start a soccer team and asks a fruit seller who used to be a soccer star to coach them. Her determination pays off as she is finally selected to join the team and takes part in an important match.
During Fei Yu’s search for inspiration, he met a girl, who was eager to invite the director to her home, showed him around, and used a long wooden stick to pick fresh lemons off a tree as a treat. The director was deeply moved when he realized that the grl, who had been left in the care of a grandfather who’s continually busy with rural difficult tasks, longed to feel more connected to her parents working in a faraway city.
She became the source for the female main characters in the movie. Traveling to many areas, from the cities of Lijiang and Kaiyuan, to Chuxiong, Fei Yu and his team chose around 10, 000 students in 203 schools before selecting all main characters.
“The shoot has ended, but the young girl’s love for soccer has not. She has found a new direction to shoot for in life. This is very meaningful,” says Fei, adding that he hopes the audience will also find strength and courage to realize their dreams through the film.
30. Why did Fei Yu go into the village
A. To teach soccer. B. To help the poor girls.
C. To achieve an award. D. To try to find inspiration.
31. According to the passage, what do we know about the film
A. Aime goes to the village near Lijiang.
B. Aime isn’t chosen to join the soccer team finally.
C. The film named Football on the Roof is successful.
D. The film tells the journey of a boy’s passion about soccer.
32. Why did Aime hope to advance to the finals in a competition
A. To show her love for soccer.
B. To leave the rural hometown.
C. To be seen by her mother on TV.
D. To be coached by a former soccer star.
33. When realizing the girl longed to feel more connected to her parents, Fei Yu felt________.
A. touched B. interested C. inspired D. amazed
34. Which would be the best title for this passage
A. A Beneficial Stress B. A Heartwarming Goal
C. A Wonderful Teamwork D. A Meaningful Competition

A movie about rural soccer players focuses on teenage girls and seeks to inspire audiences to follow dreams. In late 2018, Fei Yu, a director from Sichuan Province, went into the poor villages of Yunnan Province in search of inspiration. During the journey, one idea attracted him as he watched children playing soccer in a village, which is located around 110 kilometers north of Lijiang.
As a gentle wind swept-through the valley, Fei listened to the faraway sounds of horses and children and a clear image began to form in his mind — that a group of children playing soccer on the village roofs (屋顶). That image inspired the opening scene of Football on the Roof, and after taking home the special award in the films market project section of the 2023 China Golden Rooster and Hundred Fowers Film Festival, the film was on across the Chinese mainland on April 20.
The film tells the journey of a teenage girl, Aime, who’s crazy about soccer. She has the hope that by advancing to the finals in a competition, her mother, who has left thefr rural hometown to work in a big city, might see her on television. Facing many challenges, she helps her elder sister and her classmates to start a soccer team and asks a fruit seller who used to be a soccer star to coach them. Her determination pays off as she is finally selected to join the team and takes part in an important match.
During Fei Yu’s search for inspiration, he met a girl, who was eager to invite the director to her home, showed him around, and used a long wooden stick to pick fresh lemons off a tree as a treat. The director was deeply moved when he realized that the grl, who had been left in the care of a grandfather who’s continually busy with rural difficult tasks, longed to feel more connected to her parents working in a faraway city.
She became the source for the female main characters in the movie. Traveling to many areas, from the cities of Lijiang and Kaiyuan, to Chuxiong, Fei Yu and his team chose around 10, 000 students in 203 schools before selecting all main characters.
“The shoot has ended, but the young girl’s love for soccer has not. She has found a new direction to shoot for in life. This is very meaningful,” says Fei, adding that he hopes the audience will also find strength and courage to realize their dreams through the film.
30. Why did Fei Yu go into the village
A. To teach soccer. B. To help the poor girls.
C. To achieve an award. D. To try to find inspiration.
31. According to the passage, what do we know about the film

D. To be coached by a former soccer star.
33. When realizing the girl longed to feel more connected to her parents, Fei Yu felt________.

Teachers were shocked when ChatGPT appeared a year ago. This AI chat robot can write clear, well-researched essays in response to given questions, forcing educators around the world to rethink their evaluation (测评) methods. A few countries brought back pen-and-paper exams, and some schools asked students to do their homework at school, after learning about a subject at home.
There are risks, but some educators think that ChatGPT and other large language models(LLMs)can be powerful learning tools. They could help students by providing a personalized guiding that is available at any time and might be accessible to more students than human teachers would be. Or they could help teachers and students by making information that only exists in the textbooks much easier to find and understand.
There are still probkems to be solved. Questions remain about whether LLMscan be made correct and reliable enough to be trusted as learning helpers. It’s too soon to know what their final effect on education will be, but more institutions (研究机构) need to explore ChatGPT’s advantages and dangers, and share what they are leaning, or their students might miss aut on a valuable tool.
Despite the risks, educators should not avoid using LLMs. Rather, they need to teach students the chat robot’s strengths and weaknesses and support institutions’ efforts to improve the models for educatton-specific purposes. This could mean building task-specific versions of LLMs that harness their strengths in dialogue and summarization and reduce the risks of a chat robot providing students with inaccurate (不准确的) information or enabling them to cheat.
Arizona State University (ASU), for example, developed a platform that enables its members to use LLM-powered chat robots. These robots are instructed to seek answers to users’questions in specific data sets, such as scientific papers or lecture notes. This approach not only makes use of the chat robot’s conversational power, but alsozreduces the chance of errors.
As understanding of the LLMs’power and limitations increases, more university- wide plans will certainly appear. Using LLMs without considering their disadvantages will gain the opposite effect. For many educational purposes, error-prone (容易出错 的) tools damage students’ability to learn and cannot help students. But some institutions are trying to reduce the LLMs’weaknesses, even aiming to turn those into strengths by, for example, using them to improve students’critical-thinking skills.
Educators must be brave to avoid missing a huge opportunity and careful to ensure that institutions everywhere use LLMs in a way that makes the world better, not worse.
35. What can we infer about ChatGPT from Paragraph 1
A. It is used in exams by some students. B. It is going to replace human teachers.
C. It is especially popular among teachers. D. It improves educators’ evaluation methods.
36. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. LLMs’possible risks. B. LLMs’powerful tools.
C. ILMs’leaning ability. D. LLMs’potential benefits.
37. What should students know when using LLMs
A. Their task-specific versions.
B. Their strengths and weaknesses.
C. Their problems and possible risks.
D. Their models for education purposes.
38. What does the underlined word “harness” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Improve. B. Discover. C. Use. D. Test.
39. As for the future of LLMs, the writer is _________
A. confused B. hopeful C. unconcerned D. doubtful
【答案】35. A 36. D 37. B 38. C 39. B

阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在答 题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。
The world’s seas, lakes and rivers are under much pressure from climate change, growing demand, development of cities and pollution, threatening their ability to support life.
Without better data to understand the health of increasingly stressed waterways, the fight to save these most precious resources will be ineffective, says Simeon Pieterkosky, co-founder of the technology company Aquaai. “Visually every waterway is polluted so seriously that the ecosystem (生态系统) just can’t balance back anymore,” he explains.
Aquaai is aiming to fill that information gap by using fish-like robots that collect data from underwater environments. Powered by batteries, they are designed to look and swim like a fish, with a body and tail that move from side-to-side as they swim through the water.
The standard version is about 4 feet long (1. 3 meters) and weighs 30 kilograms and can be equipped with cameras and sensors (传感器) to measure oxygen, pH levels and the amount of salt contained in the water.
Pieterkosky was inspired to build the robots after his eight-year-old daughter leamed about the dangerous situation of the seas and asked him to protect them. He says it’s important that the robots can swim among the fish without being noticed by them.
The company has put its technology to use in California, where it was founded, and in Norway, where it has a branch company. It has operated in both fresh and salt water, and near fish farms, checking things like water quality and fish health. Many fish farms use fixed sensors to monitor (监测) water quality, but CEO and co-founder Liane Thompson says this can be inefficient in giant farms, where fish might gather away from the sensors. Instead, Aquaai’s robots swim with the fish, collecting data wherever they go.
Thompson says its technology could be used in the areas for water management, fish farming operations and searching for abandoned fishing equipment. Besides, across the world, water resources are typically monitored by workers, which is slow and needs many people. She believes better automation is quite needed.
Automation “should play a key role in the future of water management by reducing waste and improving data collection for better decision-making,” said Robert C. Brears, the founder of water protection website Our Future Water.
