It seems you can ask artificial intelligence (AI) programs anything, and they’ll give you an answer. So, can they tell jokes? This question was raised by a UK comedian (喜剧演员) Karen Hobbs in one of her shows in June. Instead of the usual jokes she created, Hobbs told jokes written by ChatGPT. When Hobbs asked ChatGPT for a joke, it gave one about a man joking about getting bored with his shopping-obsessed (痴迷于购物的) girlfriend. Even when she asked to tell it from a woman’s perspective (视角), it was still a shopping-obsessed girlfriend but told in the first person. It’s no surprise that many jokes by AI come from a man’s perspective, as men are much more common in comedy. The BBC said that AI storytelling can only create stories based on what is already there. A good joke in real life can always change based on the audience’s reaction (反应).This is a skill that often leads comedians to improvise (即兴创作). That’s something that AI can’t do for now. For example, in improvise (即兴创作), comedians don’t make preparations. They depend only on their natural reaction to the audience. However, that could change. Research is being done to give AI a greater understanding of the world around it, which makes the future of AI jokes still uncertain. 11. What did Karen Hobbs do in one of her shows in June? A. She told jokes written by herself. B. She performed a magic trick. C. She sang a song. D. She told jokes written by ChatGPT. 12. Who is more common in comedy according to the passage? A. Women B. Men. C. Children. D. Elderly people. 13. What did the BBC say about AI storytelling? A. AI can create completely new stories. B. AI can only create stories based on existing (现存的) ones. C. AI storytelling is not popular. D. AI can improvise stories like humans. 14. What do comedians depend on in improvise? A Their prepared scripts (手稿). B. The audience’s suggestions. C. Their natural reaction to the audience. D. Their previous performances. 15. What can be inferred (推断) from the last sentence of the passage? A. AI jokes will never be funny. B. The future of AI jokes is for sure. C. AI might improve its ability to tell jokes in the future. D. Research on AI has stopped. B Sammie Vance, 14, knows there’s nothing worse than feeling left out. For years, she’s been helping kids who feel lonely make friends. What she was doing was running the Buddy Bench (伙伴长椅) program. She started it when she was in the third grade, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The idea was that anyone at school who was feeling lonely could sit on the “buddy bench”. That let other kids know someone needed a friend. “It’s really helpful to have other people be able to notice you,” Sammie says. The idea quickly caught on (流行起来). The bench brought kids together. Since then, Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches. “It means a lot to me,” she says, “and this is making a difference in people’s lives.” Sammie got the idea for the Buddy Bench program at summer camp in 2017.She thought it would be cool to have a buddy bench in her school, so when she got home, she presented the idea to her principal (校长), her teachers, and her parents. Getting approval (批准) for the project was just the first step. “There have been a lot of small challenges, like money,” Sammie says. To reduce costs and be eco-friendly (环保的), she asked her community to collect bottle caps. Soon Sammie was getting caps from people in 50 states. She even got them from people in Germany, the Netherlands, and other countries. In the end, she collected more than 1,200 pounds of bottle caps. A company was able to make these into three benches. Sammie says the effort has helped her overcome personal challenges. “I used to be really, really shy,” she says. “I’m much more outgoing now.” What Sammie’s work shows is that we don’t have to be an adult to make a difference. Even small acts of kindness can be powerful. She says, “Just be kind, in general.” 16. What’s the purpose of the Buddy Bench program? A. To raise money for sick children. B. To help lonely children make friends. C. To give old people a seat to have a rest. D. To remind others to save our environment. 17. What does the underlined word “overcome” mean? A. give up B. look over C. get over D. take up 18. Sammie’s benches are made out of ________. A. recycled materials B. eco-friendly bottles C wood collected in the world D. old benches of a company 19 What can we learn from Sammie’s work? A. It’s easy to become more outgoing. B. It’s kind to make a bench for adults. C. It’s never too young to make a difference. D. It’s hard to overcome personal challenges. 20. What’s the best title for the passage? A. The warm-hearted girl B. The Buddy Bench program C. The small acts of kindness D. The ways to help make friends C So far, China has successfully sent a large number of satellites (卫星) and spaceships into space. Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names. Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Chang’e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e I. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true. Kua Fu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kua Fu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called KuaFu Mission. Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2, 000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground. From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology. 21. In China, space scientists get ideas from ________ when naming satellites. ①old stories ②traditional projects ③ancient famous people ④ popular inventions A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ③④ 22. What do we know about Chang’e I according to the passage? A. It moves around the moon. B. It protects the Jade Rabbit. C. It “visits” the sun with the scientists. D.

To spread the traditional Chinese culture. B. To explain how our scientists develop the space industry. C. To introduce the achievements in our science and technology. D. To tell how traditional Chinese culture influences our space science. 第二节 阅读填空 第三节信息匹配 根据短文内容，从6个选项中选出能分别填入5个小题空白处的最佳选项。 Do you know what your IQ is? You can find out by taking a test.

Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names. Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Chang’e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e I. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true. Kua Fu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kua Fu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called KuaFu Mission. Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2, 000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground. From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology. 21.

To spread the traditional Chinese culture. B. To explain how our scientists develop the space industry. C. To introduce the achievements in our science and technology. D.
