Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who got over many difficulties to sing among the stars. This robot writer is called ChatGPT developed by a US company Open AI. The technology chats in a conversational way, answering questions from the Internet users. It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes. It’s one of the most powerful AI robots of its kind. The power of ChatGPT lies in its speed and understanding of complicated (复杂的) matters. We may spend hours researching, understanding and writing an article on the theory of evolution (进化论). But ChatGPT can produce a well-written one in seconds. Another good thing about it is that if you ask dark, harmful questions, for example, how to make weapons (武器), it will not give you an answer. However, ChatGPT also brings some problems. The materials (材料) they create are difficult to tell from those made by humans. This causes many problems, such as the copyright (版权) problem and the definition (定义) of art. It could also result in many translators and writers losing their jobs or being paid much less, as their skills are no longer something companies need. It’s too soon to say what kind of influence ChatGPT will have on our lives. Let’s hope that, if ChatCPT does become bigger and more popular, its effects are mostly positive. 61．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling a story. B．By listing numbers.

We find solutions by thinking creatively. 66 In other words, we think outside the box. Sometimes, thinking outside the box solves not just one, but two problems. In Amsterdam, housing is very expensive, especially for students. 67 However, finding this type of apartment was almost impossible until recently. While the colleges in Amsterdam were trying to solve the housing problem, thousands of shipping containers (集装箱) were lying quietly in ports around the world. These huge steel containers carried products from one country to another. The life of each container is about 10 years. 68 But they can’t recycle all of them because there are so many. Back in Amsterdam, a company (公司) came up with an amazing idea. Why not reuse these shipping containers as student apartments? 69 They are all the same size and fit together perfectly. The steel is strong. Moreover, these containers are quite cheap to buy. For all these reasons, they can be used to build apartments quickly and cheaply. Building began in 2005, and after only a few weeks, hundreds of Amsterdam students had new homes. When students first heard about this idea, they thought the container apartments would be small, noisy, and cold. 70 What’s more, each container apartment has a kitchen, a bedroom with a study area, and a bathroom. Living in a shipping container has become popular. Today, over 3,000 Amsterdam students live in the container village. A．Students need low-cost apartments. B．The containers are great for building apartments. C．However, to their surprise, the apartments are warm and quiet. D．Steel companies recycle some or the old containers. E．We use our imagination (想像) and come up with creative ideas. 【答案】66．E 67．A 68．D 69．B 70．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了解决旧集装箱问题的方法，一些被钢铁公司回收，一些被建成了学生公寓，现在有很多学生住在集装箱的公寓里。 66．根据“We find solutions by thinking creatively.”可知，说的是创造性的思维，选项E“我们运用我们的想象力，想出创造性的想法。”符合语境。故选E。 67．根据“In Amsterdam, housing is very expensive, especially for students.”和后文“However, finding this type of apartment was almost impossible until recently.”可知，对于学生来说住房很贵，他们很难找到廉价公寓，选项A“学生需要廉价公寓。”符合语境。故选A。 68．根据“The life of each container is about 10 years.”和后文“they can’t recycle all of them because there are so many.”可知，集装箱的寿命大约10年，但太多了钢铁公司不能全部回收，选项D“钢铁公司回收一些旧集装箱。”符合语境。故选D。 69．根据“Why not reuse these shipping containers as student apartments?”可知，应该用这些集装箱建造学生公寓，选项B“集装箱非常适合建造公寓。”符合语境，故选B。 70．根据“When students first heard about this idea, they thought the container apartments would be small, noisy, and cold.”可知，当学生们第一次听说这个想法时，他们认为集装箱公寓又小又吵又冷。C选项“然而，令他们惊讶的是，公寓既温暖又安静。”符合语境。故选C。 V. 情景交际 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据情景提示，用英语完成下列各题。 71．你妈妈昨晚不允许你看电视，你可以这样跟你朋友说 72．你在朋友家看到一张奇怪的桌子，你很好奇它的原料，你可以这样问朋友 73．你看到好几个同学都拿着一张海报（poster）,你不知道他们拿海报干嘛，你可以这么问 74．你忘记了灯泡何时发明的，你可以这样问朋友 75．现在手机被设计出来不仅为了通话，而且也可以玩游戏。你可以这样跟你奶奶介绍 【答案】71．My mother didn't allow me to watch TV last night. 72．What is this table made of? 73．Why do you take these posters? 74．When was the light bulb invented? 75．Mobile phones are now designed not only to talk, but also to play games. 【解析】71．考查情景交际。妈妈：mother；允许某人做某事：allow sb. to do sth.；看电视：watch TV；昨晚：last night。根据last night可知，本题用一般过去时。否定句要用助动词didn’t来完成。 所以你妈妈昨晚不允许你看电视，你可以这样跟你朋友说：My mother didn't allow me to watch TV last night. 故答案为My mother didn't allow me to watch TV last night. 72．考查情景交际。桌子：table；由……制成：be made of；因此当你在朋友家看到一张奇怪的桌子，你很好奇它的原料，你可以这样问朋友：What is this table made of? 故答案为What is this table made of? 73．考查情景交际。海报：poster；为什么：why；拿：take；所以你看到好几个同学都拿着一张海报（poster）,你不知道他们拿海报干嘛，你可以这么问：Why do you take these posters?故答案为Why do you take these posters? 74．考查情景交际。灯泡：light bulb；何时：when；发明：invent；灯泡和发明之间存在着被动关系，而且是过去发明的，因此用一般过去时的被动句。其结构是：was/were+动词的过去分词。所以你忘记了灯泡何时发明的，你可以这样问朋友：When was the light bulb invented? 故答案为When was the light bulb invented? 75．考查情景交际。手机：mobile phones；设计：design；不仅……而且……：not only…but also…；玩游戏：play games；通话：talk。手机和设计之间存在着被动关系，因此用被动句；结合语境可知，本题的时态为一般现在时，所以用一般现在时的被动句来回答。其结构是：is/are+动词的过去分词。主语Mobile phones是复数，因此be动词用are。所以现在手机被设计出来不仅为了通话，而且也可以玩游戏。你可以这样跟你奶奶介绍：Mobile phones are now designed not only to talk, but also to play games. 故答案为Mobile phones are now designed not only to talk, but also to play games.

After knowing the price, the woman refused, saying, “I can’t afford that now—I’m in cancer treatment,” then hung up and ended the call. Debbie, whose mother was a cancer patient was surprised. This was before Caller ID, so she couldn’t call back. Disappointed, she had missed the opportunity to help the woman. Debbie made a decision to provide free home cleaning whenever her company met a woman fighting cancer. Debbie wasn’t the only one long to lend a helping hand. In 2005, Debbie shared her story with other cleaning companies at a trade show for the Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association. She shared that it was these women, undergoing the different kinds of hardships of cancer treatment, who needed house cleaning services the most, that pushed her to create Cleaning for a Reason. It connects women fighting cancer with local companies that were inspired to take the idea countrywide and would clean their homes for free. “We’re the matchmaker,” explains Debbie, “We match the patient with the cleaning service.” Luckily, Cleaning for a Reason has grown to more than 1,200 cleaning partners, serving cancer patients throughout the country. The Cleaning for a Reason office runs with volunteers to deal with more than 1,200 patient applications (申请) each month. With the support of the cleaning industry, Cleaning for a Reason plans to reach hundreds of thousands of families in future. “As we call on the cancer support around all the industry, we will change the way the world views cleaning.” 51．Why did Debbie feel disappointed after ending the call? A．She missed a possible customer. B．The woman couldn’t afford the service. C．She lost the chance to help the woman.

Another robot called “Shakey” could move and follow basic instructions. WABOT-2 could communicate with a person, read music and play an instrument. Deep Blue became the first computer to beat a world champion (冠军) chess player. Computers were able to do translations by learning languages on the Internet. A driverless car was able to pass a driving test in the USA．ASIMO was the first robot that could walk as fast as a human in 2000. It served food in a restaurant. Virtual assistants (虚拟助手) on phones and at homes are able to understand human speech and to learn people’s habits and preferences. Computers can now score higher marks than humans in reading tests. 56．How many robots are mentioned between the 1960s and the 1970s? A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5. 57．Which robot could not only communicate but also read music? A．Shakey. B．WABOT-2. C．ASIMO. D．Sophia. 58．According to the text, what was ASIMO used for? A．Working in a car factory. B．Passing a driving test. C．Serving food in a restaurant. D．Beating a chess player. 59．Which word can best describe the present virtual assistants? A．Honest. B．Smart. C．Careful. D．Patient. 60．In which part of a newspaper can we probably read the text? A．Science. B．Sports. C．Health. D．Travel. D Type in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask the robot to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who got over many difficulties to sing among the stars. This robot writer is called ChatGPT developed by a US company Open AI. The technology chats in a conversational way, answering questions from the Internet users. It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes. It’s one of the most powerful AI robots of its kind. The power of ChatGPT lies in its speed and understanding of complicated (复杂的) matters. We may spend hours researching, understanding and writing an article on the theory of evolution (进化论). But ChatGPT can produce a well-written one in seconds. Another good thing about it is that if you ask dark, harmful questions, for example, how to make weapons (武器), it will not give you an answer. However, ChatGPT also brings some problems. The materials (材料) they create are difficult to tell from those made by humans. This causes many problems, such as the copyright (版权) problem and the definition (定义) of art. It could also result in many translators and writers losing their jobs or being paid much less, as their skills are no longer something companies need. It’s too soon to say what kind of influence ChatGPT will have on our lives. Let’s hope that, if ChatCPT does become bigger and more popular, its effects are mostly positive. 61．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling a story. B．By listing numbers. C．By asking a question. D．By giving an example. 62．What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．An article. B．A song. C．A question. D．A story. 63．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

We find solutions by thinking creatively. 66 In other words, we think outside the box. Sometimes, thinking outside the box solves not just one, but two problems.

Building began in 2005, and after only a few weeks, hundreds of Amsterdam students had new homes. When students first heard about this idea, they thought the container apartments would be small, noisy, and cold. 70 What’s more, each container apartment has a kitchen, a bedroom with a study area, and a bathroom. Living in a shipping container has become popular. Today, over 3,000 Amsterdam students live in the container village. A．Students need low-cost apartments.
