Christmas has come and gone once again. I'd been wanting to go holiday shopping ever since China eased its COVID-19 response measures in early December 2022, going to supermarkets to get ready for the big holiday.
My mom was a single parent in New York City, the US. During the Christmas holiday, she would always make sure our home had a real festive feel to it — and she’d always make sure to get a real tree. We'd decorate it with ornaments and lights on the morning of December 25. And I always knew presents awaited. Over the years, I've never forgotten these happy moments.
I first arrived in China in late 2008 and have since settled down in Shenyang, capital city of Liaoning Province in the northeast. Even though Christmas is not an official holiday in China, many shop windows will feature seasonal decorations and some locals will buy Christmas gifts for their families and friends.
Unfortunately, I tested positive for Omicron (奥密克戎) on December 13th, 2022, and had almost all the symptoms (症状). I figured this would be the end of my holiday. As I knew my body preferred natural herbs, I decided to take the path of traditional Chinese medicine. With the help of this ancient form of treatment, plenty of rest and plenty of water, I made a speedy recovery. It seemed Christmas had not been lost, after all.
After feeling much more like my normal self again, I went to the cinema to watch the latest action-adventure film, Avatar: The Way of Water. When I saw the fantasy epic on the big screen, I felt a sense of relief, like the movie theater was the only world that existed at that very moment.
It is an experience that gives me something to share. When we meet with trouble, embrace it and get through it. I would like to wish all of you a very happy Christmas and a wonderful 2023.
4. What did the author plan to do before December 13th, 2022?
A. He tested positive for Omicron.
B. He planned to settle down in Shenyang.
C. He planned to decorate the tree on the Eve of Christmas.
D. He was going to make some preparations for the coming Christmas.
5. Which of the following did NOT help the author recover from Omicron?
A. Having plenty of rest. B. Buying Christmas gifts for families and friends.
C. Drinking a lot of water. D. Taking traditional Chinese medicine.
6. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?
A. Christmas was lost for the author. B. The author recovered both physically and mentally.
C. The author was frightened by the movie. D. The movie theatre was the only world that existed.
7. Which word can best describe the author according to the text?
A. Positive. B. Friendly. C. Extraordinary. D. Negative.
C
Color may influence the way food tastes for picky (挑剔的) eaters, according to a new study published in the journal Food Quality and Preference.
Stafford’s research team did an experiment with about 50 participants, who were mostly young adults around 20 years old. The study divided the individuals into picky and non-picky eaters, based on their responses to a certain measure. Both groups then tasted the same snacks served in red, white and blue bowls.
The results showed the color of the bowls influenced how the picky group perceived (感知) the saltiness and desirability of the foods — but did not influence the non-picky group The picky group thought that the snack served in the red bowl was least desirable and the snack was higher in saltiness in the red and blue bowl — compared with the white bowl.
“Picky eating usually starts in childhood,” Dr. Lama Bazzi said. She explained that if picky eating is not solved properly as a child, it can be developed later into certain eating disorders.
All of this is because of a sense of control and a sense of safety. So when talking about the colors of the bowls in the research study, it probably has to do with what makes that person feel safe, such as what colors are connected with safety. The colors blue, green and purple are considered “safer” colors, while the color red is usually connected with “stop”.
Supermarkets use similar psychology to catch people’s attention. Children’s cups are colorfully designed to entice kids, giving them a sense of safety and making it fun for them to drink something. When advertisers want customers to buy chips or food, the packaging (包装) tends to use warm and inviting colors that remind people of their childhood. Stafford noted that the research is primary, yet the data may help picky eaters to eat various food.
8. What do we know about the experiment?
A The participants were all young adults.
B. Different snacks were served in different colors of bowls.
C. Colors of the bowl didn’t influence the non-picky group.
D. The picky group thought the snacks in the white bowl saltier.
9. If a picky girl wants to lose weight, what kind of bowl will she use to serve food?
A. Blue bowl. B. Red bowl. C. Green bowl. D. Purple bowl.
10. What does the underlined word “entice” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. Attract. B. Force. C. Admit. D. Warn.
11. Why do advertisers use warm and inviting colors for packaging?
A. To remind people of their childhood.
B. To give people a sense of safety.
C. To solve people’s eating disorders.
D. To attract people to buy goods.
D
“The arrival of ChatGPT will push educators to focus more on teaching subjects that technology is not good at.” Andreas Schleicher said, who is director of education and skills for the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development. He welcomes this development and thinks it gives people the chance to concentrate less on tasks that technology can also do well.
The future is not about technology vs humans. The future is about integrating technology with humans. ChatGPT pushes us to think harder of what makes us human.
“The world no longer rewards you just for what you know. Baidu knows everything. The world rewards you for what you can do with what you know, and ChatGPT pushes us to work harder on this. If students are only as smart as a smartphone, it means educators are not doing enough. People should focus on developing human skills that actually are important, such as imagination and creativity.” Schleicher said in an interview with China Daily on the sidelines of the World Digital Education Conference.
The arrival of artificial intelligence (AI) really pushes people to think hard about what education is and the purpose it serves, as well as what knowledge, skills, attitudes and values humans have that complement (补充) artificial intelligence.
ChatGPT is not connected to the Internet, so it can’t replace search engines. Search engines such as Google or Baidu simply extract (提取) knowledge, while ChatGPT goes a step further and analyzes a search before providing a single answer.
As a device, ChatGPT is going to make learning much more interesting and powerful, but as a purpose and objective, humans need to work very hard to win that race with technology.
12. What may Schleicher agree with?
A. ChatGPT is fighting against humans.
B. Students are just as smart as a smartphone.
C. People who can do with their knowledge will be more successful.
D. ChatGPT pushes educators to concentrate more on subjects technology is good at.
13. What’s the advantage of ChatGPT over Google and Baidu according to the passage?
A. ChatGPT has connection to the Internet.
B. ChatGPT has the function of analysis.
C. ChatGPT is a more powerful search engine.
D. ChatGPT knows more than Google and Baidu.
14. What can be a suitable title of this passage?
A. ChatGPT to Influence Future Education
B. The Future Development of ChatGPT
C. The Development of Future Education
D. The Race between ChatGPT and Humans
15. In which section can you read the passage on a website?
A. Tourism. B. Business.
C. Education. D. Amusement.

Susan then gave Liz twenty dollars and a shopping list, saying she could use the change to get a treat for herself. Liz was excited and rushed away to get ready.

She worked out how much change she would have, and then chose an apple pie as her treat.
With all goods collected, Liz went to the checkout counter (收银台) happily. Just then, she found her twenty-dollar note was gone! In tears, she rushed to her mother and told her about that. “What a bad day! I’ve met so many terrible things today!” she cried. “Take it easy. We’ll go to the help counter and see what the workers can do,” Susan comforted her.
The workers at the help counter made an announcement (公告) over the loudspeaker, “We have a little girl here who’ s very sad because she lost the twenty-dollar note her mother had given her for shopping. If anyone finds the money, please kindly bring it to the help counter.”

Christmas has come and gone once again. I'd been wanting to go holiday shopping ever since China eased its COVID-19 response measures in early December 2022, going to supermarkets to get ready for the big holiday.
My mom was a single parent in New York City, the US. During the Christmas holiday, she would always make sure our home had a real festive feel to it — and she’d always make sure to get a real tree. We'd decorate it with ornaments and lights on the morning of December 25. And I always knew presents awaited. Over the years, I've never forgotten these happy moments.
I first arrived in China in late 2008 and have since settled down in Shenyang, capital city of Liaoning Province in the northeast. Even though Christmas is not an official holiday in China, many shop windows will feature seasonal decorations and some locals will buy Christmas gifts for their families and friends.
Unfortunately, I tested positive for Omicron (奥密克戎) on December 13th, 2022, and had almost all the symptoms (症状). I figured this would be the end of my holiday. As I knew my body preferred natural herbs, I decided to take the path of traditional Chinese medicine. With the help of this ancient form of treatment, plenty of rest and plenty of water, I made a speedy recovery. It seemed Christmas had not been lost, after all.
After feeling much more like my normal self again, I went to the cinema to watch the latest action-adventure film, Avatar: The Way of Water. When I saw the fantasy epic on the big screen, I felt a sense of relief, like the movie theater was the only world that existed at that very moment.
It is an experience that gives me something to share. When we meet with trouble, embrace it and get through it. I would like to wish all of you a very happy Christmas and a wonderful 2023.
4. What did the author plan to do before December 13th, 2022?
A. He tested positive for Omicron.
B. He planned to settle down in Shenyang.
C. He planned to decorate the tree on the Eve of Christmas.
D. He was going to make some preparations for the coming Christmas.
5. Which of the following did NOT help the author recover from Omicron?

C. Drinking a lot of water. D. Taking traditional Chinese medicine.
6. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?
A. Christmas was lost for the author. B. The author recovered both physically and mentally.
C. The author was frightened by the movie. D. The movie theatre was the only world that existed.
7. Which word can best describe the author according to the text?

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句话“I’d been wanting to go holiday shopping ever since China eased its COVID-19 response measures in early December 2022, going to supermarkets to get ready for the big holiday. (自2022年12月初中国放松新冠肺炎防控措施以来,我就一直想去节日购物,去超市为这个大节日做准备。)”可知,作者在2022年12月13日之前一直打算为即将到来的圣诞节做准备。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“As I knew my body preferred natural herbs, I decided to take the path of traditional Chinese medicine.

(因为我知道我的身体更喜欢天然草药,所以我决定走中医的道路。在这种古老的治疗方法的帮助下,充足的休息和大量的水,我很快就恢复了。)”可知,作者通过服用中药,加上充足的休息和大量饮水而很快痊愈。B项“为家人和朋友购买圣诞节礼物。”不是帮助作者痊愈的因素,故选B。
【6题详解】

Color may influence the way food tastes for picky (挑剔) eaters, according to a new study published in the journal Food Quality and Preference.
Stafford’s research team did an experiment with about 50 participants, who were mostly young adults around 20 years old. The study divided the individuals into picky and non-picky eaters, based on their responses to a certain measure. Both groups then tasted the same snacks served in red, white and blue bowls.
The results showed the color of the bowls influenced how the picky group perceived (感知) the saltiness and desirability of the foods — but did not influence the non-picky group. The picky group thought that the snack served in the red bowl was least desirable and the snack was higher in saltiness in the red and blue bowl — compared with the white bowl.
“Picky eating usually starts in childhood,” Dr. Lama Bazzi said. She explained that if picky eating is not solved properly as a child, it can be developed later into certain eating disorders.
All of this is because of a sense of control and a sense of safety. So when talking about the colors of the bowls in the research study, it probably has to do with what makes that person feel safe, such as what colors are connected with safety. The colors blue, green and purple are considered “safer” colors, while the color red is usually connected with “stop”.
Supermarkets use similar psychology to catch people’s attention. Children’s cups are colorfully designed to entice kids, giving them a sense of safety and making it fun for them to drink something. When advertisers want customers to buy chips or food, the packaging (包装) tends to use warm and inviting colors that remind people of their childhood. Stafford noted that the research is primary, yet the data may help picky eaters to eat various food.
8. What do we know about the experiment?
A. The participants were all young adults.
B. Different snacks were served in different colors of bowls.
C. Colors of the bowl didn’t influence the non-picky group.
D. The picky group thought the snacks in the white bowl saltier.
9. If a picky girl wants to lose weight, what kind of bowl will she use to serve food?
A. Blue bowl. B. Red bowl. C. Green bowl. D. Purple bowl.
10. What does the underlined word “entice” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. Attract. B. Force. C. Admit. D. Warn.
11. Why do advertisers use warm and inviting colors for packaging?
A. To remind people of their childhood.
B. To give people a sense of safety.
C. To solve people’s eating disorders.
D. To attract people to buy goods.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了根据发表在《食品质量与偏好》杂志上的一项新研究,颜色可能会影响挑食者食物的味道。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The results showed the color of the bowls influenced how the picky group perceived (感知) the saltiness and desirability of the foods — but did not influence the non-picky group.(结果显示,碗的颜色会影响挑食组对食物的咸味和吸引力的感知,但对非挑食组没有影响)”可知,碗的颜色对非挑食组没有影响。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The picky group thought that the snack served in the red bowl was least desirable and the snack was higher in saltiness in the red and blue bowl — compared with the white bowl.(挑食的那一组认为红碗里的零食最不受欢迎,而且红蓝碗里的零食比白碗里的咸)”和第五段中的“The colors blue, green and purple are considered “safer” colors, while the color red is usually connected with “stop”.(蓝色、绿色和紫色被认为是“安全”的颜色,而红色通常与“停止”联系在一起)”可推知,如果一个挑食的女孩想要减肥,她会用红碗来盛食物。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“giving them a sense of safety and making it fun for them to drink something.(给他们一种安全感,让他们喝点东西很有趣)”可推知,儿童杯的色彩设计是为了吸引孩子。由此可知,划线词entice与attract“吸引”意思一致。故选A。

“The arrival of ChatGPT will push educators to focus more on teaching subjects that technology is not good at.” Andreas Schleicher said, who is director of education and skills for the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development. He welcomes this development and thinks it gives people the chance to concentrate less on tasks that technology can also do well.
The future is not about technology vs humans. The future is about integrating technology with humans. ChatGPT pushes us to think harder of what makes us human.
“The world no longer rewards you just for what you know. Baidu knows everything. The world rewards you for what you can do with what you know, and ChatGPT pushes us to work harder on this. If students are only as smart as a smartphone, it means educators are not doing enough. People should focus on developing human skills that actually are important, such as imagination and creativity.” Schleicher said in an interview with China Daily on the sidelines of the World Digital Education Conference.
The arrival of artificial intelligence (AI) really pushes people to think hard about what education is and the purpose it serves, as well as what knowledge, skills, attitudes and values humans have that complement (补充) artificial intelligence.
ChatGPT is not connected to the Internet, so it can’t replace search engines. Search engines such as Google or Baidu simply extract (提取) knowledge, while ChatGPT goes a step further and analyzes a search before providing a single answer.
As a device, ChatGPT is going to make learning much more interesting and powerful, but as a purpose and objective, humans need to work very hard to win that race with technology.
12. What may Schleicher agree with?
A. ChatGPT is fighting against humans.
B. Students are just as smart as a smartphone.
C. People who can do with their knowledge will be more successful.
D. ChatGPT pushes educators to concentrate more on subjects technology is good at.
13. What’s the advantage of ChatGPT over Google and Baidu according to the passage?
A. ChatGPT has connection to the Internet.
B. ChatGPT has the function of analysis.
C. ChatGPT is a more powerful search engine.
D. ChatGPT knows more than Google and Baidu.
14. What can be a suitable title of this passage?
A. ChatGPT to Influence Future Education
B. The Future Development of ChatGPT
C. The Development of Future Education
D. The Race between ChatGPT and Humans
15. In which section can you read the passage on a website?
A. Tourism. B. Business.
C. Education. D. Amusement.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章讲述了ChatGPT对未来教育方向的影响。

推理判断题。根据第三段中“The world rewards you for what you can do with what you know(世界会奖励你用你所知道的东西所做的事情)”可知,能用自己的知识做事的人会更成功。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Search engines such as Google or Baidu simply extract (提取) knowledge, while ChatGPT goes a step further and analyzes a search before providing a single answer.(谷歌或百度等搜索引擎只是提取知识,而ChatGPT则更进一步,在提供单个答案之前对搜索进行分析)”可知,与谷歌和百度相比,ChatGPT的优势在于它的分析功能。故选B。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容,结合第一段中“The arrival of ChatGPT will push educators to focus more on teaching subjects that technology is not good at(ChatGPT的到来将推动教育工作者更多地关注技术不擅长的课程)”可知,文章的说明对象是Chat GPT对未来教育方向的影响。故选A。
【15题详解】

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己的亲身经历和例子讲述了不同的国家有非常不同的问候方式。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:不同的国家有着完全不同的问候方式。根据句子分析可知,此处修饰形容词“different”,故应用副词“wildly极其,非常”作状语,故填wildly。
【37题详解】
考查连接词。句意:在美国,当你经过熟人旁边时,众所周知,点头是可以接受的,与你第一次见面的人握手是一个礼貌的行为。根据句子分析可知,此处引导宾语从句,故应用that引导,且此处为know后的第二个宾语从句,因此that不能省,故填that。
38题详解】
考查语态。句意:但是在拉美国家,握手被看作是无礼的。此处主语a strong handshake与谓语动词consider之间为被动关系,且空前有情态动词must,故填be considered。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:然后,这并不是一个普遍的规则。此处“rule规则,准则”为可数名词,此处泛指“一种普遍的规则”,故应用不定冠词,且universal以辅音音素开头,故填a。
【40题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:我朋友告诉我,我的行为是不合适的,这让我很尴尬。此处作结果状语,此处表示自然而然的结果,故应用现在分词作结果状语,故填causing。

考查代词。句意:在美国,朋友之间的相互拥抱是很常见的——这是我之前从来没用过的。此处真正的主语为动词不定式to hug each other,故此处应用代词it作形式主语,故填It。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意:同上。此句中I为主语,此处为系动词,根据后文的before可知,此处应用一般过去时,故填was。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:拥抱总是让我感到害怕,因为我真的不喜欢拥抱。此处作宾补,宾语为me,指人,故此处应用修饰人的形容词“frightened感到害怕的”作宾补,故填frightened。
【44题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:被大多属于人广泛接受的问候语总是令人愉快的。此处作定语,修饰a greeting code,code与accept之间为被动关系,故此处应用过去分词作后置定语,故填accepted。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:我们应该做一些事情,并且我们肯定能做一些事情来阻止我们被嘲笑。根据句意可知,此处意“嘲笑”,表达为laugh at,故填at。

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Kate,
I’m very nervous these days, and I found it quite hard to concentrate on my study. So I’m writing to turn to you for help.
As the mid-term examination is coming, I’m always under great pressure with the high expectation from my parents and the teachers, which makes it difficult for me to fall asleep almost every night. As a result, I can’t focus on what the teacher says in class and become worried day by day.
I’m anxious to get your help. Could you please give me some advice on how to solve the problem? Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One day after school, Susan’s eight-year-old daughter Liz went home with disappointment. She cried sadly and told her mother that she failed to be chosen for the school basketball team. And Liz kept saying that she was an unlucky girl. Susan knew that her daughter enjoyed playing basketball and had been practicing hard for the chance, so she must be terribly sad.
After knowing about the situation, Susan decided to cheer her daughter up. She went over to Liz, asking, “ Would you like to come with me to the supermarket and be my helper ?” To Susan’ s surprise, Liz agreed at once. Susan then gave Liz twenty dollars and a shopping list, saying she could use the change to get a treat for herself. Liz was excited and rushed away to get ready.
When they arrived at the supermarket, Susan advised Liz to put the twenty-dollar note in her pocket. Liz helped her mother collect goods and fill the shopping cart (购物车) while keeping an eye out for the things she wanted. She worked out how much change she would have, and then chose an apple pie as her treat.
With all goods collected, Liz went to the checkout counter (收银台) happily. Just then, she found her twenty-dollar note was gone! In tears, she rushed to her mother and told her about that. “What a bad day! I’ve met so many terrible things today!” she cried. “Take it easy. We’ll go to the help counter and see what the workers can do,” Susan comforted her.
The workers at the help counter made an announcement (公告) over the loudspeaker, “We have a little girl here who’ s very sad because she lost the twenty-dollar note her mother had given her for shopping. If anyone finds the money, please kindly bring it to the help counter.”

【答案】范文
Moments later, a worker gave Liz a twenty- dollar note, saying a lady just handed it over. “It’s your lucky day!” he said to Liz. Liz felt highly excited. “Thanks, but where is the lady? I want to thank her. She has brightened up my day,” said Liz. The worker pointed to a woman who was just leaving the store. Susan asked Liz to wait and ran to catch up with the lady. The lady stopped and Susan expressed her thankfulness sincerely. Then she asked the lady where she’d found the money.
“Well, actually I didn’t find the note. I gave away my twenty-dollar note,” the lady said. That shocked Susan. “I just wanted to cheer up an upset little girl,” she added and rushed away before Susan could get her name and number, or give her the money back. When Susan told the truth to Liz, she was greatly moved instead of feeling disappointed. Though it was unexpected, the kind-hearted lady still changed her bad day into a lucky day. Encouraged by the experience, Liz decided to always remain positive no matter what happened.
