It is a pity that deaf people, or those who have hearing problems, can’t enjoy music. But now a vibrating suit (振动服) brings them hope—it can let them “feel” music through their body, rather than hear it.
The special suit is able to change music into some vibrating pulses (节拍). And the users can choose different levels.
Chase Burton, 33, a deaf film-maker from Texas, US, tested out the suit for four years. He understands that a deaf person’s experience with music is very different. “When I was a kid, I’d lie on the floor so I could feel the vibrations from my brother’s music playing.” Burton told CNN. Now when he wears the vibrating suit, he says the sound hits different parts of his body. “Maybe it will shake me strongly in my knees first. And then I’ll start to feel the vibrations in my back. And then I’ll feel some pulsations,” Burton said.
The inventor worked on helping a large number of deaf people to have a chance of a musical experience. In 2016, some prototype (样品) suits were tested at a Lady Gaga concert in the US. The suit was also tested at a different concert in Las Vegas in 2019. It was given to 150 audiences (听众) at the concert, where half the audience members were deaf and half could hear. At the same time, the company improved the technology (科技) and planned to put it into the market soon. And the final goal of the company is to make the technology available to all.
“We think anything that has an audio element (听觉元素) can also have a vibrational experience along with it as well,” the company’s talent and business development director, Jordan Richardson, told CNN.
5．How does the vibrating suit help deaf people
A．By improving their hearing.
B．By changing the loudness of sound.
C．By turning music into some vibrating pulses.
D．By sending music to their ears easily and quickly.
6．Why does the writer mention Burton’s experience
A．To explain different ways people enjoy music.
B．To tell how different it is for a deaf person to enjoy music.
C．To show the sadness for not having the technology earlier.
D．To call on inventors to make better clothes for deaf people.
7．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．The suit. B．The music. C．The concert. D．The technology.
8．How does the writer show that the suit is helpful
A．By listing numbers. B．By using a saying.
C．By giving examples. D．By making surveys.
9．What can be the best title for the text
A．Listen to the “Suit” B．Music Makes Life Colorful
C．Wear a Suitable Suit D．The Development of Science
A scientist named Charles had a strange idea. He wanted to invent a new kind of car which could go without a driver. It could also be used as a living room. That means you can go anywhere on your sofa in the car. You might say that it’s impossible. But Charles succeeded in making it in a factory and named it Tridika.
Tridika has no wheels and it starts working when it reaches the magnetic levitation tracks (磁悬浮轨道). It takes its energy from its tracks. And it works in the same ways as a magnetic train. It moves very fast. As everyone knows, cities are developing rapidly. There are more and more cars running on the road. So parking (停车) space is limited. Sometimes it’s hard to find a place to park. Tridika can solve this problem easily because it needn’t park on the ground. Actually, it can park on the outside wall of the building with the help of an elevator system (电梯系统). In this way, much parking space can be saved. When Tridika parks itself in front of your apartment, you can get into your room directly. Of course, there must be a side door in the outside wall. Then Tridika becomes another living room. It’s really amazing, isn’t it
Tridika can hold six passengers. So you can go on vacation in it with your family in your free time. Of course it can also be used as an office while you are travelling on the road. That is to say you can travel and work at the same time.
10．Who Invented the new kind of car
A．A scientist. B．A driver. C．A factory worker. D．A passenger
11．When does Tridika start working
A．When it gets into your room.
B．Before it parks on the outside wall.
C．After it takes its energy from the wheels.
D．When it reaches the magnetic levitation tracks.
12．The meaning of the underlined word “limited” is ______ in Chinese.
A．封闭的 B．有限的 C．开放的 D．无限的
13．Why can Tridika save the parking space
A．Because it can move very fast. B．Because it can hold six passengers.
C．Because it needn’t park on the ground. D．Because it could be used as a living room.
14．Which is the best title for the passage
A．Tridika: A Free Parking Place B．Tridika: A Fast Magnetic Train
C．Tridika: A Strange Side Door D．Tridika: A New Driverless Car
Technology is developing fast and it has become an important part of our life. Then what will the world be like in the future
3-D food will be both delicious and nutritious (有营养的). We can use 3-D printers to print some basic materials. ① And we can go further. Scientists believe that we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchen and then we can enjoy our favourite food whenever we like.
② 5G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. It is said that promises download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with a 4G network, it takes a few minutes. There will be much bandwidth (带宽) and we can get unlimited (无限的) information.
Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes, which will be built as low as 15 kilometers blew the sea. And the different temperatures at the different depths (深度) of the sea can be used to provide power for the homes.
③ For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true. In the coming years, spacecraft will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space to take an adventure (冒险). And even we will get used to living there.
A robot will be a part of life. Robots can do many of the same things as we humans do like driving cars. But they will be used in other areas as well. They will be able to think. They can tell the difference between right and wrong. They can feel sadness or joy. When we are lonely, they can have a talk with us like real friends.

Mr. Wang’s daughter who lives in Hainan has never seen snow in her life. It’s her dream to have a snowman of her own.
To fulfill his daughter’s wish, instead of travelling thousands of miles, Mr. Wang turned to the Internet. On a website, he found a seller who could make the wish come true.
The seller who lives in Heilongjiang Province made a snowman wearing a red hat and scarf with a note beside the snowman, reading “Papa & Mama love you”. She took pictures and recorded videos of the snowman and sent them to Mr. Wang. Mr Wang’s girl was so happy that night when she saw the pictures and videos.
Now, the Internet is not only a place for people to get information, but also a place to meet their needs. It connects people from different places with different needs in the fastest time and then helps trade to be made online. A study shows the number of online payment users has reached 805 million. That’s 85.7% of the Internet users in China. These Internet users ask for different kinds of services, like making travel plans, asking for a driver, shopping for them abroad, taking care of their pets and so on.
The services help people have a better life. Also they help create new jobs. Those service providers can make money while enjoying a more meaningful life. However, some people have concerns that the services may lead to acts that are against the law, for example, paying people to cheat (作弊) on an exam.

AI (artificial intelligence) (人工智能) is a new field of computer science. It allows machines to learn from experience, make decisions and solve problems like humans.
Today you can find a lot of Al examples in our everyday life. You use AI facial recognition (脸识别) to unlock your phone. Self-driving cars use it to drive. Shopping apps use it to provide you with information according to your interest. Perhaps the best example is the smart assistant on your phone. It can support you when you make voice calls, add events to the calendar, and send messages. All in all, AI is everywhere.
In recent years, China has a rapid development in AI. To prepare students well for the future, Zhejiang Province plans to make students in primary and middle schools learn AI. Last year Zhejiang Province started “AI +education” pilot project (试点项目) in schools. Wenzhou is one of the cities that have carried out the project. The city plans to have nearly 760 schools for AI education by the end of year, hoping to bring AI to every classroom.
It’s easy to open the AI course (课程) among primary and middle schools because information technology is already a subject tested in Gaokao in Zhejiang. The new AI course is expected to build a strong AI talent pool (人才库) for universities and colleges in the future. However, AI-based education is still faced with a lot of challenges. One of the biggest challenges is that there are not enough top teachers.

Type in “Can a cat go to space ” and ask ChatGPT to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who made his way past many difficulties to sing among the stars.
ChatGPT is developed by US company OpenAI. And it has won 100 million users since it came out in November 2022. People can ask the robot to write stories and emails, translate languages and answer all kinds of questions. ChatGPT uses a much bigger database (数据库) for training than Siri or other chat robots. It also uses stronger software and hardware to learn things by itself. “It’s a totally different thing,” computer scientist Liu Xiaoguang from Nankai University told Tianjin Daily. “The knowledge level of ChatGPT is similar to that of a university graduate (毕业生). That’s why it shocked the world.”
According to a US survey, over 89 percent of students have used ChatGPT to help with homework. Some schools in the US, Australia and France have stopped the use of ChatGPT. There are some worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on schoolwork. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread wrong information. “It does not build critical-thinking (批判性思维) and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for students’development,” said Jenna Lyle from New York City Department of Education.
However, not all educators say “no” to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are making rules on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to completely stop the tool. Bhaskar Vira, from the University of Cambridge in the UK, thinks that it is not good to stop AI software like ChatGPT. “We have to know that AI is a tool people will use,” he added.
28．In Paragraph 1, how does the writer lead into the topic
A．By comparing facts. B．By telling stories.
C．By giving examples. D．By asking questions.
29．What makes ChatGPT an excellent chat robot

30．What does Jenna Lyle think of ChatGPT
A．ChatGPT helps people become successful easily.
B．ChatGPT is not good for the students’development.
C．ChatGPT might offer the wrong information.
D．ChatGPT is so far the smartest AI chat robot tool.
31．What’s the structure of the passage
A． B． C． D．
Photographs are everywhere. They decorate the walls of homes and are used in stores for sales of different goods. The news is often filled with pictures of fires, floods, and special events. Photos record the beauty of nature. They can also bring things close that are far away. Through photos, people can see wild animals, cities in foreign lands, and even the stars in outer space. Photos also tell stories.
Reporting the news through photos is called photojournalism. At times photojournalists tell their stories through a single picture. At other times, they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture is like a chapter in a book, which can do more than record the facts. It can also be a strong force for social change.
Jacob Riis was among the first photojournalists. He took pictures of parts of New York City where the poor lived. Riis believed that poverty (贫穷) caused crime, and he used photos to help him prove his point. A few years later, the photos of small children working in factories by Lewis Hine shocked the public. Hine’s pictures helped bring about laws to protect such children.
Hundreds of pictures may have to be taken in order to get one or two really good photos. It takes science to have the photo come out clearly and art to make a photo that has a good design and expresses feelings. Photojournalists make anactual record of what they see. A photo, however, can be both a work of art and an actual record. It can record an important event as a beautiful or exciting picture.
As historical and artistic documents (文献), photos can become more important over time. Today photojournalists still have their pictures appear in newspapers and magazines. They also publish them in books and on the Internet.
32．The underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refers to ________.
A．beauties B．photos C．stores D．events
33．The photos of the small children by Hine show us that photos ________.
A．are also works of art
B．are popular ways of reporting news
C．often shock the public
D．can serve as a force for social change
34．What can we learn from the passage
A．News with pictures is encouraging.
B．Photos can’t help people improve their life.
C．News photos mean history in a sense.
D．People prefer reading news with pictures.
Like many high school graduates (毕业生), Maggie Doyne didn’t go straight to college. She decided to travel and arrives in western Nepal in 2006. A war had just ended there and let many children live on the streets. They had work at hard physical jobs for little money.

How Do People Pass on Messages (信息)
When you write a letter or make a telephone call, your words carry a message. People communicate (交流) with words. Do you think you can communicate without words Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. 38 When you put up your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake (摇动) your head, and people know you are saying no. 39 Other things can also give some information (信息). For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. 40 There are a lot of signs around you and you receive (接收) messages from them all the time.
People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his pictures to tell about beautiful mountains, the blue sea and many other things. 41 They also tell about people and their ideas.

Raising Pets is a popular online game among teenagers. “More than 20 of my classmates have adopted(领养) pets online.” said Wang Hui from Beijing.
If you go to some websites, you can adopt virtual(虚拟的) pets like penguins(企鹅), chickens, dogs or elephants. You can feed, wash, talk to and play with your pet.
Dai Yingshuang from Shanghai said, “It’s great fun and I have also learned how to take care of others.” She usually asks her uncle to take care of her pet while she is at school.
If you don’t feed and care for the pet, it will become unhappy and unhealthy. So raising an online pet means spending a lot of time online. This makes many parents worried. They fear it will have a bad influence on the children’s studies.
Wang Zhaotong from Anhui has raised a penguin since last year. She said, “My parents know about the penguin and think it’s okay.”
If the students can keep the balance between studying and playing, it’s not bad for them to “raise” pets online.

Eduardo reached into his backpack, searching for his mobile phone. He was tired of Aunt Letty spending all day on her chickens, goats, horses, and cows. Worse, he was afraid of having to spend the spring vacation on Aunt Letty’s farm.
Although he disagreed, his parents decided that spending time on the farm would be a great experience for him. They grew up on a farm and believed that responsibility (责任), hard work, and respect for the land were valuable lessons.
“So, have you ever ridden a horse ” Aunt Letty asked, trying to turn his attention away from his phone. “Hmmm, no.” he answered. “Well, we’ve got a nice horse I think you’ll like.” she said, smiling.
Eduardo was unhappy that he had to work. Vacations were meant for sleeping late, playing video games, and maybe skateboarding. Without lifting his head, he tried to text a friend.
“With all the hills and valleys, phones are hard to get a WIFI.”
Eduardo made a face, but Aunt Letty was right.
________ The animals on the farm woke them up, and they had breakfast before sunrise. Then they, had to feed the animals. The afternoons were filled with cleanup and caring for the animals. At sunset, when the farm was finally quiet, Aunt Letty reached out her arms and inhaled (吸气), “Just take a deep breath of that sweet country air!” Eduardo, tired from his chores, couldn’t enjoy his work.
On the third day, Aunt Letty announced, “It’s time to meet Hercules.” She led Eduardo into the stables (马厩). Aunt Letty was right again. Hercules was amazing!
Aunt Letty held her hand open for Eduardo to take. Unwillingly (不情愿地), he let her guide his hand towards Hercules and allowed the big animal to touch his hand. Softly, Hercules rubbed its nose and mouth against him.
“It feels like velvet (天鹅绒)!” Eduardo smiled. An hour later, Eduardo was offering Hercules carrots.
That night, as they headed towards the house, Eduardo was excited. His arms spreading wide, he inhaled and said, “Take a breath of that sweet country air!”
58．Why did Eduardo’s parents send him to the farm
A．To learn valuable lessons about life. B．To show him the beauty of nature.
C．To learn how to get on with Aunt Letty. D．To stop him using a mobile phone.
