B Weekday mornings are very busy for the U. S. middle school students. When your school doesn’t have a bus, and you live too far away to walk, you need a carpool. A carpool is a group of people sharing the responsibility (责任) of driving to school in the morning. There are usually four or five kids in a carpool and their parents take turns to drive the kids in their cars. Someone’s car smells like wet dogs. Some kids get to eat desserts for breakfast and some parents shout so much that all you try to do is to stay quiet and go unnoticed. When your mum or dad drives the carpool, your classmates get a close-up look at how strange your parents can be. It might be your first sociological (社会学的) study and your first time to work with others. Teamwork is really important in the carpool because nobody wants to make anyone else late. It’s a great lesson in responsibility. Imagine sitting in the car outside of a classmate’s house, watching the clock and counting the seconds. Then you start to understand how your carpool friends might feel when you are still inside the house at 7:48. You really begin to learn all your real life lessons just moments before the start of school—in the carpool. 25．What is a carpool? A．Parents drive kids to school on their way to work. B．Parents take turns to drive their kids to school. C．Kids go to school in their parents’ cars. D．Kids drive their own cars to school. 26．What can students learn from a carpool? A．How to drive a car.

D．Kids often have enough time to study in a carpool. C One day, some doves (鸽子) went to find food. Their king went with them. The doves felt too tired to fly. They wanted to stop. The king said, “Don’t give up! Together, we can find food.” One dove saw some rice on the ground. The doves flew onto the ground to eat. Then a net (网) fell over the doves!

The doves were safe from the hunter, but they were still trapped in the net. The king said, “I know a mouse that lives in the town. He will be very helpful to us. We can find him.” The doves flew to the town together. They found a hole in a wall. The mouse lived in the hole. The doves called for help loudly together. After a while, the mouse heard their call and came out of his hole. He saw the king and ran to him. The king told the mouse that he needed his help.

On March 14, GPT-4 showed the world how smarter it is than the 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. But GPT-4’s developments don’t stop there. The new language model can code (用代码编写) classic games in a few minutes, and produce the code and layout (布局) for a website based on a hand-made drawing. GPT-4 is much better than the older GPT at passing tests. According to CNN, GPT-4 did really well on a law school test, with a score in the top 10 percent of test takers. ButGPT-3.5 only got a score in the bottom 10 percent. GPT-4 will also power other apps and services. For example, the language learning app Duolingo plans to use GPT-4 in their coming products. Users can learn languages by talking with AI. Another app, Be My Eyes, will have a digital assistant (数字助手) 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. There are still problems with the new language model, however. GPT-4 still tries hard to get completely correct answers. And it will sometimes insist that wrong information is true. 33. What does the underlined word “it” refer to? A. OpenAI. B. GPT-3.5 C. GPT-4. D. A chatbot. 34. Why is GPT-4 considered much better t han GPT-3.5? A. Because GPT-4 is much new er than GPT-3.5. B. Because GPT-4 can spend less time coding games. C. Because GPT-4 got better scores than GPT-3.5 at tests. D. Because GPT-4 powers other apps and services. 35. The app, Be My Eyes, uses GPT-4 to ________. A. let users learn language by talking with AI B. help blind people understand the world better C. give support to the Icelandic language D. earn much money by selling services 36. How is the text organized? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2, … ) A. B. C. D. 第二节 阅读短文，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 Once a craftsman (工匠) went to a field. He wanted to find a stone (石头) to make a statue (雕像). 37 When he reached home, he started working on the first stone with tools (工具). The moment his tools touched the stone, “ 38 It is hurting me a lot.” When hearing this, the craftsman felt sorry. He put that stone aside and used his tools to make a statue on the other stone. That stone said nothing about pain. So the craftsman was able to make a very beautiful statue of God. The craftsman put the God statue in the center of a temple (寺庙) and the first stone in front of it. 39 Whenever a person came to visit the temple, he would give the God statue some flowers. Then he would break a coconut (椰子) with the first stone and place it before the God statue. 40 The other stone smiled and said, “If you hadn’t stopped the craftsman at that time, you would have been in my place today. But you chose an easy way. A．There he found two good stones and took them home happily. B．The next day, many people came to enjoy the God statue. C．This made the first stone feel very sad.

He drank it like a thirsty crow (乌鸦). After that, he filled the bottle 59 water and put it back in the corner. Moreover, he added some 60 (word) on the paper, “Believe me.

Spring couplets (春联) stand for people’s wishes for a happier life in the coming year. The couplets are written on red paper. They are the most important symbol of the Spring Festival. Although people are busy with all kinds of things before the Spring Festival, sticking couplets is always in the first place on the to-do list. And my mother would ask me to take some gifts to people who wrote couplets for us. When they were writing, I would watch how they used the brush to create these wonderful works. Later when I was a little older, my parents encouraged me to learn how to write couplets. I asked some elder people to teach me some skills. When learning from them, I became greatly interested in traditional culture. Every time when our family visited relatives during the Spring Festival, I always collected the poems of the couplets and used them to express my good wishes like “health, wealth and long-life” to my relatives. Nowadays as the science and technology is developing rapidly couplets are mainly produced by machines. We can easily buy all kinds of beautiful couplets on the streets. Though forms of making couplets have changed, the best wishes that couplets express remain. The red paper and black words are not only used to write the couplets, but also carry our love for traditional culture. They will never be forgotten. 61.
