Are you looking forward to watching some great films this summer? Here are four films you won’t miss.
Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman is this summer’s most exciting film. Though being a superhero film, it is the most unique: you will see the first female superhero starred by Gal Gadot. On general release from 1 June.
The Mummy
Tom Cruise awakens an ancient princess who has now become a mummy. Cruise jumps from the sky, runs around a lot and wakes up naked in a sleeping bag — but it’s Sofia Boutella as the Mummy who draws the most attention. Director Alex Kurtzman speaks highly of Sofia Boutella as the Mummy: “If you look at her eyes, there’s a whole performance going on here. Even not saying anything, she can convey something very emotional to you.” On general release from 8 June.
Baby Driver
Ansel Elgort is a getaway driver, who is forced to work for a crime boss. This is an actionromanticcomedy from British writerdirector Edgar Wright. The sound in the film is as great as the visuals, which makes it much like a musical, but it is quite different from La La Land. Baby Driver isn’t just a series of song pieces. Instead, it finds its form in the elegant, rapidfire combination of movement and sound. Released on 28 June in Canada and the US.
A Man Called Ove
This film has become one of Sweden’s most popular comedies. In the film a lonely retiree who has given up on life, was trying to kill himself, but all his attempts failed. Meanwhile, he developed an unlikely friendship with his neighbors. It is really a tearjerker, which is funny, tragic, and heartwarming as well. Released on 25 May in Hong Kong, 30 June in the UK.
1. If you are a big fan of Batman and Superman, which film will you like best?
A A Man Called Ove. B. Baby Driver. C. Wonder Woman. D. The Mummy.

Reese Witherspoon was born on March 22,1976 in New Orleans, Louisiana. She is the second child of the family. Reese spent the first four years of her life in Wiesbaden, Germany, where her father John served in the US Army Reserves. Shortly after, John moved the family back to the United States, settling in Nashville, Tennessee.
Reese was introduced to the entertainment industry at a very early age. At age 7, she began modeling. This led to appearances on several local television commercials. At age 11,she was placed first in a Ten-State Talent Fair.
In 1990, she landed her first major acting role in TheMan in the Moon(1991). Her role as a 14-year-old tomboy earned her good reviews. Roles in bigger films such asJack the Bear(1993) andA Far Off Place(1993) followed shortly after.
Following high school graduation in 1994, Reese decided to have a pause in her acting career and attend Stanford University where she would major in English literature. However, her plans were shortly stopped when she accepted roles to star in two major movies. Although neither film was a huge box-office success, they did help to make Reese a rising star in Hollywood and open the door for bigger and better film roles.
Her breakthrough role came as Elle Woods in the 2001 comedyLegally Blonde. In box office terms, the movie was a great success and made Reese one of the top female stars in Hollywood. In the year 2014, she produced bothGone GirlandWild, for which she got nominated(提名) for a best actress Oscar again for her role.
Reese is actively involved in children’s and women’s advocacy organization.She is a longtime supporter of Save the Children,an organization that helps provide children around the world with education, health care and emergency aid.
4. Why did Reese stop her studies at Stanford University?
A. Because she starred in two successful films.
B. Because she was more famous in Hollywood.
C. Because she didn’t want to get higher education.
D. Because she couldn’t balance studies and acting.
5. Which film made Reese most famous?
A. Man in the Moon B. Legally Blonde
C. A Far Off Place D. Jack the Bear
6. What is the author’s attitude toward Reese?
A. Caring B. Admiring
C. Critical D. Defensive
7. How does the passage develop?
A. Giving examples B. Using figures
C. Following the order of time D. Making comparison
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【分析】本文为人物传记,主要讲述了美国影视演员Reese Witherspoon的一些事迹。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段Following high school graduation in 1994, Reese decided to have a pause in her acting career and attend Stanford University where she would major in English literature. However, her plans were shortly stopped when she accepted roles to star in two major motion pictures.可知因为要主演两部电影,所以放弃了继续求学,由此可知由于无法兼顾就学和演艺事业,故而放弃了学业,所以D正确。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段Her breakthrough role came as Elle Woods in the 2001 comedy Legally Blonde. In box office terms, the movie was a great success and made Reese one of the top female stars in Hollywood.可知Reese Witherspoon突破性的角色就是律政佳人中的Elle Woods,在票房方面,这部喜剧片赢得了巨大的成功,并使Reese Witherspoon成为好莱坞最顶尖的女星之一,所以B正确。
【6题详解】
观点态度题。根据文章内容可知,作者在介绍Reese的演艺事业的发展时,采用的都是正面的描述,再根据最后一段中对Reese积极参加一些只在帮助儿童和妇女的公益组织的描述可知,作者对Reese持赞扬的态度,所以B正确。
【7题详解】
写作特点题。文章开头从Reese的出生说起,随后描述了她的童年,成年后的作品以及参加的其他活动,由此可以看出文章是按照时间顺序来写的,所以C正确。
【点睛】写作手法题属于较高层的考查题,与文章的篇章结构关系密切。分析这类题我们可以看出,
对文章组织结构考查不外乎两个层次:一是按段落的组织方法理解文章的结构;二是按写作方法理解文章的结构。常见提问式How is the passage organized? The author develops the passage mainly by等。英语的文章讲究主题段和主题句。主题段通常在文章开头,简要概括文章的中心思想,主题句根据段落的写作手法的不同可能现在段落的开头,也可能出现在段落的中间或末尾。为突出主题,作者可能采用不同的写作手法来组织文章,通过举例、比较、类比等手法来透彻阐明主题和观点。
此题的第四小题考查写作手法。文章主题明确,结构清晰,按照人物的生平发展来描写,因此是按照时间顺序来谋篇布局的。
C
The idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an important role in keeping you healthy.
Treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.
Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it’s for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive (认知的) falling.
Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, more interesting and happier.
8. What does the underlined word “infectious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Quickly influencing other people. B. Preventing illness from spreading.
C. Keeping people in high spirits. D. Playing an important role.
9. What can laughter increase according to the author?
A. Happiness and confidence B. A sense of humor.
C. Cognitive ability. D. Good relationships.
10. What does the author think the old should do?
A. They should have a good rest. B. They should prevent cognitive falling.
C. They should take part in physical play. D. They should play like children.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Always Keep Our Body Healthy B. Let Our Body and Mind Relax
C. Have an Active and Happy Life D. Humor, Laughter and Play for Health
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要论述了笑给人带来的好处和积极作用。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness.(你有没有听过一个小孩的大笑,并且能让自己不笑?当人们之间分享笑声时,它使他们彼此更加亲密,并增加他们的幸福感。)”可知,别人大笑,你也会忍不住笑,人们之间分享笑声,这说明笑具有感染力,故画线词意为“迅速影响他人的”。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness.(当人与人之间共享笑声时,会使他们彼此更亲近,增加他们的幸福感)”可知,根据作者的说法,笑能使人们彼此更亲近,即能增进人际关系。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it’s for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness.(然而,我们经常忘记的是,对于老人来说,让游戏成为他们生活的一部分就像对孩子一样重要。体育运动对老年人来说很重要,它当然有助于预防疾病)”可知,作者认为老年人应该参加体育活动。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an important role in keeping you healthy.(你可以用幽默、笑声和玩耍来让你更健康,这个想法似乎太过简单,不真实。然而,这是真实和简单的。幽默感、笑声和玩乐在保持你的健康中起着重要的作用)”结合文章主要论述了笑给人带来的好处和积极作用。故D选项“幽默、欢笑和玩耍有益于健康”最符合文章标题。故选D。
D
There’s a new AI bot: ChatGPT, and you’d better pay attention, even if you aren’t into artificial intelligence. The tool is an AI chat bot system that OpenAI released in November 2022 to show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can achieve.
ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models and is fine-tuned (a method of transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning (监督和强化学习).
You can ask ChatGPT anything, like explaining physics, asking for birthday party ideas and getting programming help. Perhaps it’s not smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative. A few days after its launch, more than I million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.
ChatGPT is free to use at the moment because it is still in its research phase. But when too many people hop onto the server, it overloads and can’t process your request. It just means you should try visiting the site at a later time when fewer people are trying to access it. If you want to skip the wait and have reliable access, there is an option for you. As of Feb. 1, 2023, OpenAI has aChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users to have general access even during peak times. This service does come at a cost of $20/month.
However, ChatGPT can not replace Google. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence robot that provides solutions to your questions, but Google is a search engine in which you can search for as much information as possible. ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT?
A. Its language model. B. Its working theory.
C. Its design inspiration. D. Its development process.
13. Why does the author list figures in paragraph 3?
A. To show the popularity of ChatGPT.
B. To stress the high cost of inventing ChatGPT.
C. To present the creativity of artificial intelligence.
D. To prove the necessity of developing tools for chatting online.
14. What is ChatGPT Plus intended for?
A. Providing solutions to any question.
B. Guiding users to experience free services.
C. Searching for a huge amount of information.
D. Giving users priority access during peak hours.
15. What is a limitation of ChatGPT compared with Google?
A. It operates based on limited data.
B. It needs longer to provide solutions.
C. It can only update information at a fixed time.
D. It may provide replies unrelated to the questions.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了ChatGPT的出现,市场反应,并对它的优点及弊端进行分析。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models and is fine-tuned (a method of transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning (监督和强化学习). (ChatGPT会记住你的对话线索,使用之前的问题和答案来告知下一步的回答。它的答案来源于互联网上的大量信息。ChatGPT建立在OpenAI GPT-3大型语言模型家族的基础上,并使用监督和强化学习进行微调(一种迁移学习方法)。)”可知,第二段主要告诉我们关于ChatGPT的工作原理。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“A few days after its launch, more than I million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years. (上线几天后,超过100万人试用了ChatGPT。UBS分析师Lloyd Walmsley在2023年2月估计,ChatGPT在1月份的月用户数达到1亿,用了2个月就完成了TikTok约9个月和Instagram两年半的用户数。)”可知,作者在第3段列出数字是为了显示ChatGPT的受欢迎程度。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“As of Feb. 1, 2023, OpenAI has aChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users to have general access even during peak times. (截至2023年2月1日,OpenAI推出了ChatGPT pro计划,ChatGPT Plus,允许用户即使在高峰时段也可以访问。)”可知,ChatGPT Plus的目的是在高峰时段给予用户优先访问权。故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day. (因为它的编程,ChatGPT的知识有限,但谷歌有无限的知识,每天都在更新。)”可知,与Google相比,ChatGPT的局限性是基于有限的数据进行操作。故选A项。

4.sudden →suddenly
5.the →a
6.me →myself
7.but →and
8.highly后加of
9.suggest →suggesting
10.去掉to
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在清明节期间制作了一张海报并带回学校与同学分享,得到了老师的表扬。
【详解】1. 考查动词的时态。句意:今年清明节期间,我和父母呆在家里。根据时间状语During this year’s Tomb-Sweeping Festival可知,应用一般过去时。故将stay改为stayed。
2. 考查名词的数。句意:除了完成我的作业,我在网上读了很多关于节日的文章,这极大地增加了我的知识。名词article为可数名词,根据前面a lot of可知,后接可数名词的复数形式。故将article改为articles。
3. 考查定语从句。句意:句意:除了完成我作业,我在网上读了很多关于节日的文章,这极大地增加了我的知识。本句为非限制性定语从句,先行词articles在定语从句中担当主语,指物,应用关系代词which。故将what改为which。
4. 考查副词。句意:第三天,我突然想到一个主意。修饰动词struck用副词形式。故将sudden改为suddenly。
5. 考查冠词。句意:为什么不制作关于节日的历史和习俗的海报呢?名词poster为可数名词,泛指,且poster发音以辅音音素开头。故将the改为a。
6. 考查代词。句意:我立即开始进行海报的制作。短语involve sb. in sth.使某人参与某事,此处宾语为主语本身,所以用主语的反身单词。故将me改为myself。
7. 考查连词。句意:当我回到学校把它展示给我的同学看时,他们都对它评价很高。前一分句“我展示给我的同学看”和后一分句“他们都对它评价很高”之间为并列关系而非转折关系。故将but改为and。
8. 考查介词。句意:当我回到学校把它展示给我的同学看时,但他们都对它评价很高。短语think highly of对……评价很高。故在highly后加of。
9. 考查非谓语动词。句意:我们的老师表扬了我,建议把它放在英语学习园里。句中已有谓语动词,所以suggest用非谓语动词形式。这里为非谓语动词作状语,且和主句主语之间存在主动关系时,用现在分词形式。故将suggest改为suggesting。
10. 考查非谓语动词。句意:这让我有了一种成就感。make sb. do sth.让某人做某事。不定式形式作make的宾补时,主动语态需要去掉不定式符号to。故去掉to。

The idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an important role in keeping you healthy.
Treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.
Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it’s for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive (认知的) falling.
Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, more interesting and happier.
8. What does the underlined word “infectious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Quickly influencing other people. B. Preventing illness from spreading.
C. Keeping people in high spirits. D. Playing an important role.
9. What can laughter increase according to the author?
A. Happiness and confidence B. A sense of humor.
C. Cognitive ability. D. Good relationships.
10. What does the author think the old should do?
A. They should have a good rest. B. They should prevent cognitive falling.
C. They should take part in physical play. D. They should play like children.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Always Keep Our Body Healthy B. Let Our Body and Mind Relax
C. Have an Active and Happy Life D. Humor, Laughter and Play for Health
D
There’s a new AI bot: ChatGPT, and you’d better pay attention, even if you aren’t into artificial intelligence. The tool is an AI chat bot system that OpenAI released in November 2022 to show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can achieve.
ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models and is fine-tuned (a method of transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning (监督和强化学习).
You can ask ChatGPT anything, like explaining physics, asking for birthday party ideas and getting programming help. Perhaps it’s not smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative. A few days after its launch, more than I million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.
ChatGPT is free to use at the moment because it is still in its research phase. But when too many people hop onto the server, it overloads and can’t process your request. It just means you should try visiting the site at a later time when fewer people are trying to access it. If you want to skip the wait and have reliable access, there is an option for you. As of Feb. 1, 2023, OpenAI has aChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users to have general access even during peak times. This service does come at a cost of $20/month.
However, ChatGPT can not replace Google. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence robot that provides solutions to your questions, but Google is a search engine in which you can search for as much information as possible. ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT?
A. Its language model. B. Its working theory.
C. Its design inspiration. D. Its development process.
13. Why does the author list figures in paragraph 3?
A. To show the popularity of ChatGPT.
