Tourists from China and every corner of the world come to visit Italy every year. Here are four famous cities of Italy. Rome is the birth place of science, culture and of course, art in Europe. It is the perfect combination (结合) of the modern and the classical. When one walks around the city, one can see many museums. Of course, Rome is also considered as the fashion (时尚) centre of the world now. The Rome Coliseum is today considered one wonder (奇迹) of the modern world. Pisa is a small city. It is famous for the leaning tower of Pisa. If you think that Pisa has only one leaning tower, you may just be wrong. This city has three leaning towers. Home of the famous scientist Galileo, Pisa is also known for its universities because the city is home of some of the most important universities in Europe. Florence is one of the most important provinces around Italy. Shopping here, you’ll find David, the most famous statue (雕像) of Michelangelo. If you are planning to spend a couple of days in Florence, you likely will not want to lose the opportunity to see and enjoy Arnolfo Tower. It will be open on Sunday and Monday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (closed in case of rain). Venice is a city over a hundred islands. You can visit most interesting places of the city by walks or by the famous gondolas. Art exhibitions, film festival s and famous carnival (狂欢节) make Venice a place that can be visited any time of the year. 1. According to the passage, ________ is considered as a fashion center of the world now. A Rome B. Pisa C. Florence D. Venice 2. We can visit Arnolfo Tower ________. A. at 8 a.m. on Sunday B. at 9 a.m. on Tuesday C. at 9 p.m. on Saturday D. at 10 a.m. on Monday 3. According to the passage, which one of the following is NOT true? A. Pisa has three leaning towers. B. You’ll find David when you go shopping in Florence. C. You can visit most interesting places of Venice by walks or by bus. D. Every year, thousands of tourists all over the world come to visit Italy. B Once upon a time, animals were experiencing hunger (饥荒) on a land. There was dry land everywhere. They tried many ways to grow plants. Yet they didn’t succeed. A rabbit was walking sadly across the land because of the bad situation. At that time, a wizard (巫师) came along and gave him a bag of magic flowers. On his way home, the rabbit met an old sheep and she could hardly walk. The rabbit gave a flower to the sheep. After he did this, the flower shone with thousands of colors. To his surprise, the old sheep could walk again and became very healthy. The rabbit went on his way. The same thing happened when he met a duck and then a dog. When the rabbit arrived home, ________. At this time, his younger brother arrived home, without any food to eat. The rabbit gave his brother the last magic flower. At that moment, the wizard appeared again. He asked the rabbit to go outside and see what he had done. The rabbit went out, and he found the whole land had turned into a green place. There was enough water and food to feed all the animals. The rabbit felt very happy because he could bring happiness to everyone. Sometimes small helps can change a lot. Everyone can make a difference! 4. Why did the rabbit walk sadly? A. Because the weather was cold. B. Because there was hunger on the land. C. Because he had no friends. D. Because he met a good wizard. 5. The missing sentence in Paragraph 3 may be “________”. A. he had only one flower left B he lost all of his flowers C. there were two flowers left in his hands D. he sent all the flowers to his mother 6. What is the main idea of the passage? A.

What do you think of the rabbit? A. Bad. B. Funny. C. Easy-going. D. Kind. C “How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t have an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine.”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine.” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello!” or “Hi!”. Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?”, the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong.” But it isn’t very polite to disagree strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure…” It’s a nice way to say that you don’t agree with someone. People also don’t say exactly what they think when they want to finish talking with other people. For example, if someone wants to end up a talk on the phone, he can give an excuse（理由）like “I have to go now.” or “Someone is at the door.” The excuse might be real, or not. Sometimes the excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person. It’s important for people to try to be polite to each other, and it’s also a part of the game of language. 8. When a person in the United States asks “How are you?”, he or she wants to hear “________”. A. How are you? B. Hello! C. I don’t know. D. Fine. 9. When a person wants to disagree with someone, it is polite to say “________”. A. You’re wrong. I disagree. B. I’m not sure. C. I’m sure I disagree. D. No, I disagree. 10. When a person says “I have to go now.” on the phone, he or she may ________. A. give an excuse B. hurt someone’s feeling C. talk to a person at the door D. go to another place 11. A part of the game of language is probably “________”. A. Always say what you mean. B. Don’t disagree with people. C. Never say exactly what you’re thinking. D. Try to be polite to each other. D ChatGPT, a smart AI chatbot (聊天机器人) 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 recipes(食谱), 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 district’s networks and devices, CNN reported. The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat (欺骗) on homework. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread inaccurate (不准确的) information. “It does not build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for academic and lifelong success,” said Jenna Lyle, the deputy press secretary of the New York City Department of Education. Besides bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to stop the use of ChatGPT. Some college teachers in the US try to add more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones, The New York Times reported. However, not all educators say “no” to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are drafting (起草) policies on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to completely ban the tool so far. Bhaskar Vira, pro-vice-chancellor for education at the University of Cambridge in the UK, said that bans on AI software like ChatGPT are not wise. “We have to know that AI is a tool people will use,” he told Varsity, the school newspaper of the university. What we need to do is “change our learning, teaching and examinations”. That way, we can “have honesty while recognizing the use of the tool”. 12. Some schools in the US stopped the students from using ChatGPT because ________. A. ChatGPT takes the place of teachers B. ChatGPT seldom provides correct information C. ChatGPT takes up most of the district’s networks D. ChatGPT helps students do homework and cheat on teachers 13. Jenna Lyle thinks that ________. A. ChatGPT is necessary for academic and lifelong success B. using ChatGPT is not good for developing students’ minds C. ChatGPT is the smartest AI chatbot tool at present D.

There are some taboos (禁忌) that you must pay great attention to, or you may make mistakes and be laughed at. First, don’t use chopsticks to hit the side of your bowl or plate, because Chinese people think only beggars (乞丐) would do this to beg for meals. Second, when you use chopsticks, don’t use them to point at others. This would be regarded as a bad habit. Third, it is thought to be impolite when you suck (吮吸) the end of a chopstick. People will think you are short of family education. Fourth, don’t use chopsticks to poke at (拨弄) every dish without knowing what you want. And last, don’t put chopsticks straightly into the bowls or dishes. Chinese people do this only for the dead. Nowadays, chopsticks are used more widely. For example, you can buy a pair as a gift for your friends or relatives. In Chinese, it reads “Kuaizi”, which means to have sons soon, so a newly-married couple will be very happy to accept it as their gift. An interesting research shows that many joints (关节) and muscles (肌肉) are being exercised when you use chopsticks. They certainly make you cleverer, don’t they? 41.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章讨论了聊天机器人工具ChatGPT在教育领域中的使用情况，包括一些学校和教育机构对其使用的担忧和禁止，以及一些教育机构对其使用的支持。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat (欺骗) on homework.”可知，此举是出于对该工具可能使学生更容易在家庭作业上作弊的担忧，故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据“It does not build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for academic and lifelong success”可知，ChatGPT没有培养批判性思维和解决问题能力，而这些技能是学术和终身成功所必需的，因此使用ChatGPT不利于培养学生的思维。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据“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 district’s networks and devices, CNN reported.”和“Besides bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to stop the use of ChatGPT. Some college teachers in the US try to add more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones”可知，除了禁止学生们使用ChatGPT老师们还更改了作业的类型，防止学生们使用ChatGPT完成作业，选项ac正确，故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据“It does not build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for academic and lifelong success”可知， ChatGPT会使学生们变懒；根据“bans on AI software like ChatGPT are not wise”可知，完全禁止ChatGPT是不明智的决定；根据“We have to know that AI is a tool people will use”可知，ChatGPT是相当有用的工具；因此D选项“ChatGPT将彻底改变目前的教育。”文章中没有提到，故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Quilts keep people warm. ___16___ Quilts have a long history in different places.

There are some taboos (禁忌) that you must pay great attention to, or you may make mistakes and be laughed at. First, don’t use chopsticks to hit the side of your bowl or plate, because Chinese people think only beggars (乞丐) would do this to beg for meals. Second, when you use chopsticks, don’t use them to point at others. This would be regarded as a bad habit. Third, it is thought to be impolite when you suck (吮吸) the end of a chopstick. People will think you are short of family education. Fourth, don’t use chopsticks to poke at (拨弄) every dish without knowing what you want. And last, don’t put chopsticks straightly into the bowls or dishes. Chinese people do this only for the dead. Nowadays, chopsticks are used more widely. For example, you can buy a pair as a gift for your friends or relatives. In Chinese, it reads “Kuaizi”, which means to have sons soon, so a newly-married couple will be very happy to accept it as their gift. An interesting research shows that many joints (关节) and muscles (肌肉) are being exercised when you use chopsticks. They certainly make you cleverer, don’t they? 41. How many taboos are mentioned in the passage? _______________________________________________________ 42. Why aren’t people allowed to use chopsticks to hit the side of their bowls or plates? _______________________________________________________ 43.

People will think you are short of family education.”可知吮吸筷子末端是不礼貌的，人们会认为你缺乏家庭教育。故填He is short of family education. 【44题详解】 根据“In Chinese, it reads ‘Kuaizi’, which means to have sons soon”可知在中文里，“快子”意思是很快就会有儿子。故填Because they mean to have sons soon. 【45题详解】 根据“An interesting research shows that many joints (关节) and muscles (肌肉) are being exercised when you use chopsticks.”可知实验表明，当你使用筷子时，许多关节和肌肉都在锻炼。故填(I/we can exercise) Many joints and muscles. 第二节 写作（满分20分） 46. 转眼间，你要升入九年级。对比刚上初中的你，在学习和生活中一定取得了不少的进步，比如学科知识、人际交往、体育锻炼、良好习惯等方面。请结合自身经历，以“I have made progress”为题分享一下自己的进步。 注意： 1. 可从某方面或多方面分享你的进步，谈一谈过去与现在的不同； 2. 你是如何取得这些进步的； 3. 行文连贯，条理清晰，字数100词左右，不得出现真实学校、姓名等信息。 I Have Made Progress __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 I Have Made Progress As time goes by, I have changed a lot in the past few years.
