This phone costs less than 30 euros (about 240 yuan). It’s so cheap! “People can put the phone together by themselves.” Gabriel said to French television channel TFI. They can buy the parts online and watch videos to learn how to do it. Rochet wanted to show that everyone could make a phone. “If you know a lot about it, you can put together in less than an hour. But if you’re just starting, it might take a day.” Rochet said. The Paxo phone can make calls. It can tell the time and show you the way. There are also two games to play in it. A lot of people are interested in the Paxo phone. “About 20 people want to help make the next one better.” said Rochet. Paxo phones are made of a small number of parts. Fewer parts mean less waste. It’s better for the Earth Gabriel Rochet said some big phone companies don’t show solicitude for the environment. They cause too much pollution when they make phones. It can help to save the planet. 38. What do we know about the Paxo phone? A. It is 16 years old. B. It is very cheap. C. A French girl made it. D. Rochet first saw it on TV. 39. How can people learn to put the phone together? A. By watching French TV. B. By calling Gabriel Rochet. C By watching videos. D. By playing a game. 40. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. What people can do with the phone. B. Why the phone is so cheap. C. How Gabriel makes the phone better. D. Why few young people like the phone. 41. What does the underlined phrase “show solicitude for” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Pay attention to. B. Take pride in. C. Become interested in. D. Be known for. 42. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. C Do you know Chat GPT? It’s an artificial intelligence (AI，人工智能) tool. It can answer questions, tell stories, and do much more. But it’s very “thirsty”, said a new study. Chat GPT has “homes” around the world in data centers (数据中心). When it works, the computers at the data centers get very hot. Workers then have to use water to cool them down. Cold water goes into pipes (管道) near the computers. The water needs to be very clean. They can’t use seawater because it can eat away at the pipes. When you ask Chat GPT 20 to 50 questions, it “drinks” 500 milliliters of water. Scientists used 700, 000 liters (升) of water to build Chat GPT. The water use is very big. People can make 370 cars with it. Chat GPT is just one AI tool. You need data centers to do everything on the internet. There are more than 8,000 data centers around the world. The number is still growing. We may have to “fight with AI for water” in the future. AI uses a lot of water to “grow”. The world’s water may not be enough. Many people don’t have enough water to drink. But AI technology helps people. Should we rethink how we use AI? Talk to your friends about it. 43. What did the new study use the word “thirsty” to show? A. Chat GPT looks like a man. B. Chat GPT can eat and drink. C. Chat GPT talks too much. D. Chat GPT needs water when working. 44. What do we know about the data centers? a. They are AIs just like Chat GPT. b. The computers there get hot when Chat GPT works. c. They are pipes in the Chat GPT’s home. d. They are in different places in the world. A. ab B. bc C. ac D. bd 45. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. AIs like Chat GPT. B. Computers. C. Workers. D. Pipes. 46. Why do the workers have to use clean water to do the cooling job? A. Because it is near the centers. B. Because it is colder than seawater. C. Because it is good for the pipes. D. Because it is hard to get seawater. 47. What does the passage mention the 370 cars for? A. To help readers know the big size of Chat GPT. B. To show the big water use in building Chat GPT. C. To help scientists find a better way to build Chat GPT. D. To give an idea about how to use Chat GPT. D We usually think fish can’t talk. But there are a lot of sounds under the ocean. In fact, scientists believe that all sea animals-at least 250,000 kinds-can “speak”! If we stay focused (注意力集中的) when diving in the sea, we can hear animals all around us. In the past years, scientists used sound recorders to hear fish’s “voices”. There are now thousands of recorders in the ocean. They help scientists match sounds with sea life. ________1_________ A healthy coral reef（珊瑚礁) is one of the noisiest places in the ocean. Scientists can tell if it’s healthy by listening to it. A healthy coral reef should be full of clicks (咔嚓声) made by shrimps (小虾). When some coral reefs died in 2015 and 2016, they became quiet. After people set up the protected areas, scientists heard the animals come back. ________2_________ By listening to the ocean, scientists start to understand sea animals’ languages. Strong clownfish (小丑鱼) make short “chirp (啁啾声)” sounds when going after small clownfish. They do this to show they are more powerful (有力量的). A damselfish (小热带鱼) can create a pop sound to make other fish run away by quickly opening and closing its mouth. Mother dolphins can use a special voice to talk to their babies. They are saying “I’m here” to comfort the baby dolphins. ________3_________ Nowadays, scientists are building an online library called the Global Library of Underwater Biological Sounds (全球水下生物声音库). It will collect sounds from all over the world to check sea animals’ health. Humans need to understand the sounds made by underwater animals before they die out. 48. What do scientists use “recorders” to do? A. To protect coral reefs. B. To look for new kinds of sea life. C. To collect sounds from sea life. D. To communicate with fish. 49. Why is the coral reef a noisy place? A. Because many fishes speak in dead coral reefs. B. Because people feed animals there. C. Because many shrimps live there. D. Because the coral reef can give out sounds. 50. How many kinds of “languages” does the writer mention in Paragraph 4? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 51. Match the title with each paragraph. a. Sea animals’ languages b. The sound of shrimps c. A library of sea sounds d. Healthy coral reefs e Animals’ health A. ①b ②a ③c B. ①d ②a ③b C. ①d ②a ③c D. ①b ②a ③d 52. Which of the following can be the best title? A. Living Things in the Sea B. Listening to the Ocean C. Talking with the Fish D.
