TOILET, bathroom, restroom — English has many words for the little room we all have to go to every day. Different countries often use different words. In the US, you will get where you need to go if you ask where the “bathroom” is. If you’re in a shopping mall, you should ask for directions to the “restroom”. People from the US also use the word “John”. It comes from the name of a 19th century British man. He invented the flush toilet. It was convenient for people to flush the toilet. In Britain, people often say “toilet” and “bathroom”. You sometimes see the words “Ladies” and “Gentlemen” above the doors to public toilets. But “Men” and “Women” are more common now in Britain. Australians say “loo”. The word is also quite popular in the UK. Canadians use the word “can”, New Zealanders “bog” and South Africans “want to go to the bathroom”. In China, Beijing now uses the word “toilet” rather than “WC”. All over the world now signs rather than words are used. Where does the word toilet itself come from? Well, it’s from the French “toilette” — to wash yourself. （ ）58．What words do British people often use for the little room with a toilet? A．Restroom and bathroom. B．Toilet and bathroom. C．Ladies and Gentlemen. D．Men and Women. （ ）59．What is the origin of the word “John” used in the US? A．A name of an American inventor. B．A name of an Englishman who invented the flush toilet.

C Type in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask ChatGPT to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you will get the story of Max, who clawed his way past many difficulties to sing among the stars. Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT has taken the Internet by storm, winning 100 million users since it came out in November 2022. People can ask the robot to write stories and emails, create recipes (食谱), translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions. In its own words, it is “a language model trained in Internet text to help users get human-like text.” Compared with Siri or other chat robots , ChatGPT uses a much bigger database (数据库) for training. It also uses stronger software and hardware to learn things by itself. For example, if it provides a wrong answer to your question, you can tell it the right one and it will make corrections . “It’s a totally different product,” computer scientist Liu Xiaoguang from Nankai University said. “The knowledge level ChatGPT shows is equal to an undergraduate (本科生) student. That is why it shocked the world.” But one big problem with ChatGPT is that it makes mistakes or even gives fake (虚假的) information. When Rezza, a 28-year-old from Indonesia, used the robot to write an essay, it “gave out nonexistent academic citations (不存在的学术引用)”, he told The Guardian. Since the robot is trained using words from the Internet, it can also pick up on the Internet’s biases (偏见) about certain groups. These are all things that need to be dealt with. （ ）63. The cat story was written to _____. A. show what creative work ChatGPT can do B. introduce a cat that wants to go to space C. introduce a series of bedtime books D. show how robots create stories （ ）64. According to the passage, which of the following can ChatGPT do? A. Make dishes. B. Sing songs. C. Translate texts. D. Create new languages.   （ ）65. What makes ChatGPT an excellent chat robot? a. It can learn things by itself. b. It has a big database for training. c. It won’t give people wrong answers. d. It is smarter than any undergraduate student. A. ab         B. ac          C. bc          D. bd   （ ）66. Why does ChatGPT make mistakes? A. It likes fake information more. B. Some of its young users cannot use it correctly.   C. Its creator doesn’t know all the answers.   D. It may pick up wrong information on the Internet. （ ）67. In which section(版块) of a newspaper can you see the article? A. sports B. science C. business D. entertainment(娱乐) D What comes to mind when you think of archaeologists (考古学家)? Are they as cool as the character in some movies? Let’s discover the world of archaeologists. ①________ Historical treasures are often hidden underground. To find the proper place for digging, archaeologists do surveys to search for signs of ancient sites (遗址). These signs may be things like broken pieces of ancient tools. It’s hard work. They have to walk across the field in all kinds of weather. Besides, it requires much experience and professional knowledge to tell an ordinary rock from a stone tool. ②________ Archaeologists spend a lot of time in the lab studying the discoveries. Luckily, they are now closer to answering those mysteries (奥秘) than ever with the help of modern technology. The first thing they need to do is to find out the age of the things discovered. They also examine bones of humans or animals to find out the cause of their death and what they ate during their lifetime. ③________ Ancient objects can be damaged (损坏) in different ways. For example, bowls and cups are often in pieces, and metal tools are usually covered with rust. Before repairing these objects, archaeologists use X-rays to look for damage. If the rust is harmful, they need to make it disappear and repair the object with something special. In this process they have to be very patient and careful so as not to damage the value of the object. Though the job can be physically tiring or requires working long hours in the lab, most archaeologists are proud of their work. It’s their hard work that has brought the lost treasures back to life. （ ）68. How does the writer bring up （提出）the subject? A. By listing facts. B. By offering ideas. C. By giving examples. D. By asking questions. （ ）69. What helps archaeologists better answer the mysteries according to the passage? A. Physical health. B. Perfect weather. C. Modern technology. D. Common knowledge. （ ）70. Match the sentence with each paragraph. a. Doing research. b. Asking questions. c. Repairing and cleaning. d. Finding places. A. ①-a, ②-b, ③-c B. ①-d, ②-a, ③-b C. ①-d, ②-a, ③-c D. ①-b, ②-a, ③-c （ ）71. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. （ ）72. What would be the best title for the passage? A. The Work of Archaeologists. B. The Way to Be Archaeologists. C. The Search for Historical Treasures. D. The Mysteries of Historical Treasures.
