They were Flint's treasure! We had come so far to find this.Already it had cost the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. And how many others? How many ships had gone to the bottom of the sea? How many brave men had been killed for this? Perhaps no man alive could tell. Next morning, we moved all the gold to the beach. Then we took it by boat to the Hispaniola. It was a big job for so small a number of men. Then at last, one sunny morning, we sailed out of North Inlet and towards the nearest port(港口) m Spanish America before afternoon. Treasure island had disappeared from view, and I had never felt happier to leave a place behind. The sun was going down when we sailed into the port, and the doctor and Mr. Trelawncy took me to the beach. When we came back, Ben Gunn was waiting for us. “Silver has gone,”he told us,“but not empty-handed. He's taken one of the bags of coins, perhaps worth three or four hundred guineas.”I think we were all pleased to lose the bad man at so small a price. We found some sailors for the ship at the port, and they had a good journey home. Only five of the men who had sailed from Bristol with the Hispanio la returned with her. We all took a large piece of the treasure. Some used it wisely, but some did not. Captain Smollett no longer goes to sea. Gray saved his money and now is a half-owner and captain of a fine ship. Ben Gunn got a thousand pounds which he spent or lost in three weeks, then he came begging and was given a job as a gatekeeper. For Silver, we have heard no more. That scary seaman with one leg has gone out of my life. I will never return to Treasure Island, but in my worst dreams I still hear the sharp, high cries of Captain Flint:“Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!” ( )49. What do you know from Paragraph 1? A. Many people lost their lives for the treasure. B. There were so many gold coins in the ships. C. Seventeen people left the island on the ship. D. Only the writer found gold coins in the cave. ( )50. Which was TRUE about Silver? A. He went home with the writer. B. He took the writer to the beach.

North Inlet C. Bristol D. the Hispaniola C ① ChatGPT is back in the headlines(新闻头条)! OpenAI;the company behind the popular chatbot, has now introduced a powerful new language model:GPT-4. ② On March 14, GPT-4 showed the world how smarter it is than the previous GPT-3.5. One of its best new features is that it can understand pictures. For example, if you show a picture of a phone using the wrong charger(充电器),GPT-4 can tell why the picture looks strange or funny. ③ But GPT-4's developments don't stop there. The new language model can code(用代码编写) classic games like Tetris(俄罗斯方块) in a matter of minutes, and produce the code and layout(布局) for a website based on a hand-made drawing. It can also change the tone(语气) and style based on what you ask it to do. GPT-4 is much better than the older GPT at passing tests, which may worry teachers. According to CNN. GPT-4 did really well on a law school test, with a score in the top 10 percent of test takers. But GPT-3.5 only got a score in the bottom 10 percent. ④ GPT-4 will also see greater use as a tool to power other apps and services. For example, the language learning app Duolingo plans to use GPT-4 in their upcoming(即将到来的) Duolingo Max function(功能).Users can learn language by talking with Al. Another app, Be My Eyes, will have a digitai(数字) assistant to help blind people better understand the world around them. The government of Iceland also plans to use GPT-4 to protect the language. ⑤ There are still problems with the new language model, however. GPT-4 still tries hard to get completely correct answers, especially with new er information after September 2021. GPT-4 also sometimes“hallucinates(产生幻觉)”, meaning that it will believe that wrong information is true. ( )53. What can we infer t rom Paragraph2? A. GPT-3.5 cannot understand pictures. B. GPT-4 can reply in a fun way. C. GPT-4 can tell if a phone is recharging(充电). D. GPT-4 can create funny pictures. ( )54. The phrase“in a matter of minutes”in paragraph 3 shows that . A. games like Tetris are easy to code B. GPT-4 can code games like Tetris quickly C. hand-made drawings help GPT-4 work better D. anyone can code games using GPT-4 ( )55. What does the underlined word“assistant”in paragraph 4mean? A. 图片 B. 相机 C. 助手 D. 机器 ( )56. What's the structure of the article? Many people may throw away the pits(核) inside fruits after eating them,but inheritors of nu t carving (核雕继承人) have turned them into artworks insiead. Weifang nu t carving goes back to the Qing Dynasty. During that time, an old imperial craftsman(皇家手艺人) Wang Dayan spread the skill to the local people in Shandong Province. Craftsmen back then often used peach pits to show off their artistic skills. 八年级期末 英语 试卷 第5页 共8页 Because of the high level of carving skills needed, the traditional culture and its rich artistic theme,Weifang nu t carving was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage(国家非物质文化遗产) in 2008. “One nut, from 0.8 to 6 centimeters long, can be made into fan pendants, earrings, buttons, seals and so on,”said Tan Wanhai, 48, an inheritor of Weifang nu t carving. Tan has studied the art of nu t carving for 25 years and has created many nu t carvings. However, the craftsman also said that bringing this kind of art work to life is not easy.“Unlike some pits like olive pits which have a flat surface, each peach pit has its own special texture (质地) like human fingerprints,”Tan said, adding that, craftsmen have to study each peach pit to carefully plan out their artwork. Nut carving craftsmen also need to have knowledge in many areas. According to Tan, they have to master skills in painting, seal carving and calligraphy from many traditional cultures. Thanks to their creative design and fresh ideas, Weifang nu t carving artworks have been increasingly welcomed by people in China. More people are learning the art and have even become inheritors to pass down the skiil to young people. “Now, the number of inheritors is about 1,000, But I believe it could be bigger. More craftsmen now give up the tradition of passing down the skill only through the family and open it up to anyone who is interested in learning the skill,"said Tan. ( )57. Weifang nu t carving was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage because of . ①the high level of carving skills needed ②its rich artistic theme ③the traditional culture ④the popularity around the world A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④ ( )58. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us? A. The cultural value of nut carving. B. The knowledge craftsmen have to master. C. The inheritor and his carving artworks. D. The difficulties craftsmen have. ( )59. How does Tan feel about the development of nu t carving in the future? A. Worried. B. Surprised. C. Uncertain. D. Confident. ( )60. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Tan's Nut Carving Achievements B. Amazing Artworks in China C. Carving Artworks out of Nut D. The History of Nut Carving 五、请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。(共5题，每题2分，计10分) Have you ever stayed in a hotel?
