专题10阅读理解（说明文，议论文） 【真题演练】 Passage 1 Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding. Honesty helps start a good friendship. Friends must be able to trusteach other. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you are not honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends should always speak and act honestly. Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, or enjoyments, like your hobbies and your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know you better. Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better. No two friendships are ever exactly alike.

One day, a young alien, Neila, put the wrong batteries in her torch. Suddenly, there was bright light. It went up into the sky, around the Sun and reached the Earth. The light hit a boy called Billy and his dog. Neila quickly turned the torch off, but the pair were caught by the light. They flew through space and landed near Neila. “ Hello,” said Billy.

Everybody works long days under the burning Sun. When they finish their work, they travel by camel back to their villages. Oymyakon, Russia is the coldest town on Earth. Once, the temperature there was -71.2℃. Before the 1930s, very few people lived in Oymyakon. Later someone found gold, so more and more people went to work there. Today, about 500 people live there.

It helps keep food better and longer, make machines lighter and protect against illness. But we find something bad after over-using it. Plastic is hard to break down. Poisonous (有毒的) things in it pollute the water and soil. They are causing environmental problems. A whale died in Thailand not long ago. Its stomach was full of plastic bags. Sea birds think little plastic things are food, so they feed their chicks with them. Many animals like these died because of them. Plastic also goes into our bodies. Very little plastic is almost everywhere, even in water and food. When we eat the food and drink the water with very little plastic in it, it gets into our bodies and it’s bad for our health. Now, we should take action to use less plastic. First, we should stop using all single-use plastic we do not need. Don't use straws (吸管), plastic knives and forks, plastic cups and bags. We can all drink from a glass, without straws. Second, we can use other things to replace (取代) plastic ones. Bamboo is friendly to our earth. It provides food for giant pandas and mountain gorillas. Besides, planting bamboo is good for lands and soil. Third, we need to recycle (再利用). We can stop using single-use plastic, but we still have many plastic products which are useful to us and not so easy to be replaced. For example, workers use many kilos of plastic to make cars because it makes the car lighter and need less energy. This plastic must be recycled. Waste is a potential resource. We can turn it into new products, creating jobs and protecting Mother Earth at the same time. 46. According to the passage, we use plastic to ________. ① keep food better and longer ② make some machines lighter ③ protect against different illness ④ help discover many new things A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④ 47.

Plastic things. C. Animals. D. Chicks. 49. Which of the following is good for the environment? A. Drink with a straw while in the restaurant. B. Pay for the plastic bags while shopping. C. Use bamboo to replace single-use plastic. D. Throw away the single-use plastic. 50. What is the best title for the passage? A. Plastic, dangerous or useful B. Turn the waste into money C. Buy what you really need D. Different uses of plastic Passage 13 ChatGPT is heatedly discussed again. Open AI, the company behind the popular chatbot, has introduced a powerful new language model: GPT-4. On March 14, 2023, 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. But GPT-4’s developments don’t stop there. The new language model can code the class games like Tetris (城罗斯方块) in a few minutes, and produce the code and layout (布局) for a website based on a handmade drawing. It can also change the tone of speech and style based on what you ask it to do. Moreover. GPT4 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 Best takers. But GPT-3.5 only got a score in the bottom 10 percent. GPT-4 will also see greater use as a tool to power other apps and services in the future. For example, the language learning app Duolingo plans to use GPT-4 in their upcoming new function. Language learners can improve their speaking skills by talking with AI. Another app, Be My Eyes, will have a digital assistant to help blind people better understand the world around them. The government of Iceland also plans to use GPT-4 to protect the Icelandic language in the future. 16. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. GPT-3.5 cannot understand picture. B. GPT-4 can see pictures in a funny way. C. GPT-4 can change its tone of speed and style. D. GPT-3.5 can tell if a phone is wrongly charged. 17. What does It in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The model of Tetris. B. The code and layout. C. The handmade drawing. D. The new language model. 18. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. GPT-4 has developed in many ways. B. GPT-4 will develop quickly in the future. C. Student’ use of GPT-4 worries teachers greatly. D. The mode of test in law schools is changed by GPT4. 19. Which of the following people may get help from GPT-4 on Duolingo or Be My Eyes in the future? A. Emmie is a Spanish learner. She wants to write a poem in Spanish with the help of AI. B. Kyle feels lonely. He wants an AI that can talk to him sometimes and make friends with him. C. William’s eyes can’t see clearly. He wants to have his eyesight with the help of AI. D.

On the airplane The airplane seat can fit a person’s body shape, size and even temperature. There will be no screens on the airplane. With a futuristic device (未来设备), you can watch many kinds of movies on the airplane right before your eyes. In the hotel 3-D print technology will develop surprisingly fast. It can print almost everything like clothes and food. So when you get to the hotel, you won’t need a suitcase any more. During the trip The trip will become interesting and colorful.

It helps keep food better and longer, make machines lighter and protect against illness. But we find something bad after over-using it. Plastic is hard to break down. Poisonous (有毒的) things in it pollute the water and soil. They are causing environmental problems. A whale died in Thailand not long ago. Its stomach was full of plastic bags. Sea birds think little plastic things are food, so they feed their chicks with them. Many animals like these died because of them. Plastic also goes into our bodies. Very little plastic is almost everywhere, even in water and food. When we eat the food and drink the water with very little plastic in it, it gets into our bodies and it’s bad for our health. Now, we should take action to use less plastic. First, we should stop using all single-use plastic we do not need. Don't use straws (吸管), plastic knives and forks, plastic cups and bags. We can all drink from a glass, without straws. Second, we can use other things to replace (取代) plastic ones. Bamboo is friendly to our earth. It provides food for giant pandas and mountain gorillas. Besides, planting bamboo is good for lands and soil. Third, we need to recycle (再利用). We can stop using single-use plastic, but we still have many plastic products which are useful to us and not so easy to be replaced. For example, workers use many kilos of plastic to make cars because it makes the car lighter and need less energy. This plastic must be recycled. Waste is a potential resource. We can turn it into new products, creating jobs and protecting Mother Earth at the same time. 46. According to the passage, we use plastic to ________. ① keep food better and longer ② make some machines lighter ③ protect against different illness ④ help discover many new things A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④ 47.

Open AI, the company behind the popular chatbot, has introduced a powerful new language model: GPT-4. On March 14, 2023, 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. But GPT-4’s developments don’t stop there. The new language model can code the class games like Tetris (城罗斯方块) in a few minutes, and produce the code and layout (布局) for a website based on a handmade drawing. It can also change the tone of speech and style based on what you ask it to do. Moreover. GPT4 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 Best takers. But GPT-3.5 only got a score in the bottom 10 percent. GPT-4 will also see greater use as a tool to power other apps and services in the future. For example, the language learning app Duolingo plans to use GPT-4 in their upcoming new function. Language learners can improve their speaking skills by talking with AI. Another app, Be My Eyes, will have a digital assistant to help blind people better understand the world around them. The government of Iceland also plans to use GPT-4 to protect the Icelandic language in the future. 16. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. GPT-3.5 cannot understand picture. B. GPT-4 can see pictures in a funny way. C. GPT-4 can change its tone of speed and style. D. GPT-3.5 can tell if a phone is wrongly charged. 17. What does It in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The model of Tetris. B. The code and layout. C. The handmade drawing. D. The new language model. 18. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. GPT-4 has developed in many ways. B. GPT-4 will develop quickly in the future. C. Student’ use of GPT-4 worries teachers greatly. D. The mode of test in law schools is changed by GPT4. 19. Which of the following people may get help from GPT-4 on Duolingo or Be My Eyes in the future? A. Emmie is a Spanish learner. She wants to write a poem in Spanish with the help of AI. B. Kyle feels lonely. He wants an AI that can talk to him sometimes and make friends with him. C. William’s eyes can’t see clearly. He wants to have his eyesight with the help of AI. D. Lily, who is blind, wants to visit a museum. She hopes an AI can read the introductions for her. 20. What is the best title for the passage? A. Gpt-4—Development and Future B. The introduction of the Private GPT-3.5 C. GPT4—The best Future Language Model. D. Advantages and Disadvantages of GPT-3.5 【答案】16. A 17. D 18. A 19. D 20. A 【解析】本文主要讲述了GPT-4的一些强大功能。 16. 细节理解题。根据文中“On March 14, 2023, 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.”可知，GPT-3.5不能理解图片，故选A。 17. 词义猜测题。根据“The new language model can code the class games like Tetris in a few minutes, and produce the code and layout for a website based on a handmade drawing.”及“also”可知，新的Language模型可以在几分钟内对俄罗斯方块等课堂游戏进行编码，并根据手工绘制的图纸为网站生成代码和布局，它还可以根据你要求它做什么来改变说话的语气和风格，所以It应指代“The new language model”，故选D。 18. 主旨大意题。根据“But GPT-4’s developments don’t stop there.”可知，本段是说明GPT-4在许多方面都有发展，故选A。 19. 推理判断题。根据文中“Another app, Be My Eyes, will have a digital assistant to help blind people better understand the world around them.”可知，另一款名为Be My Eyes的应用程序将配备一个数字助理，帮助盲人更好地了解周围的世界，所以这款程序能帮助到盲人莉莉，故选D。 20. 最佳标题题。本文主要讲述了GPT-4的一些强大功能，所以选项A“Gpt-4——发展与未来”符合文章大意，故选A。 Passage 14（2023-24·番禺区期末） What will travel be like in 2070?
