课后课时作业
Ⅰ 阅读
There are many different types of poems.
Many people have heard about haiku. In fact, most of us are taught at one point or another—usually in elementary school or high school—to write one of our very own. Actually, haiku is a form of poetry made up of three nonrhyming lines. They often express feelings and thoughts about nature; however, you could write a poem about any subject you like in this form.
One of the poetic favorites is pastoral (田园的) poetry because it means wonderful senses of peace and harmony. Examples of this form include Keats's Ode on a Grecian Urn. Like the haiku, nature is often at the center of this type of poem as well. In general, pastoral poetry will focus on describing a rural (乡村的) place, but the terms will be peaceful. You feel at ease after reading this type of poem. Many pastoral poems are written about shepherds.
Are you familiar with the term “ballad”? Probably you are, because people sometimes refer to songs—particularly romantic ones—as ballads. In fact, ballad poems are frequently sung or at least they are intended to be sung, and they are often about love. Often, these ballads will tell stories and they tend to be of a mystical nature.
A limerick is a poem that is often silly or funny, written in five lines with AABBA rhyme (押韵). Often, a limerick tells a short, humorous story. This type of poem has been popular for hundreds of years, particularly in the English language. When limericks first became popular, they often expressed ideas that were dirty, but today limericks express all sorts of ideas.

篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能聊天机器人ChatGPT强大的功能及其缺陷。
1.has begun 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据时间状语in recent months可知,应用现在完成时,主语为Microsoft。故填has begun。
2.products 考查名词。根据“such as Bing, Edge and Microsoft Office”可知,此处不止一种产品,应用名词复数作into的宾语。故填products。
3.a 考查冠词。句意:事实上,ChatGPT聊天机器人非常受欢迎,以至于谷歌已经推出了自己的聊天机器人竞争对手Google Bard。a hit表示“轰动一时的事物”。故填a。
4.Although/Though/While 考查状语从句的连接词。句意:虽然它不能完全取代人类,但企业和个人可以用它来完成很多任务——从进行市场调查到草拟各种文件。设空处引导让步状语从句,应用although/though/while;位于句首,单词首字母大写。故填Although/Though/While。
5.drafting 考查非谓语动词。根据介词to可知,设空处应用动名词作宾语。故填drafting。
6.invented 考查非谓语动词。a game和invent之间是被动关系,应用过去分词作后置定语。故填invented。
7.in 考查介词。句意:ChatGPT在功能方面仍然有局限性,并且可能会出错。in terms of表示“在……方面”。故填in。
8.are 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。描述客观事实应用一般现在时,主语是some answers。故填are。
9.powerful 考查词性转换。句意:如果没有限制,这种强大的技术可能会给你带来比它本身更多的问题。设空处应用形容词作定语修饰名词technology,powerful表示“强大的”。故填powerful。
10.extremely 考查词性转换。句意:除此之外,ChatGPT也可能像其他任何网站或应用程序一样出现非常严重的错误。设空处应用副词作状语,修饰形容词severe。故填extremely。
Ⅳ 读后续写

“What's wrong with you, dear?” said Granny Bell to a little boy, who sat near a wall at the back of the house. He had a book in his hand, and tears were in his eyes.
“We have all got a poem called Little Jim to learn,” said the boy, whose name was Tom Blair. “and the one who says it best is to get a prize from the master. But I don't think I can learn it.”
“Why not?” said Granny Bell.
“The boys say that I can't, and that I need not try.” said Tom in a sad tone.
“Don't mind what the boys say. Let them see that you can learn it.” said his friend.
“But I don't think I can,” said Tom. “it is so long, and some of the words are so hard I know I need not try for the prize. But I should like to learn the poem as well as I can; for the boys laugh at me, and call me ‘Slow Tom’.”
“Well, dear,” said Granny Bell, in a kind voice. “if you are slow, and can't help it, try to be ‘slow and sure’, as they say. Look at the snail (蜗牛) on the wall; how slow it is! And yet, if you watch it, you will see it will get to the top in time. So just try to learn a few lines each day, and you may gain the prize in the end. And when you feel like losing heart, think of the snail on the wall.”
When Granny Bell had said this, she went on her way. And Tom thought that, though he could not keep up with the boys, he might run a race with the snail. So he decided to try to learn his task by the time the snail got to the top of the wall.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

At last, the day came on which the master was to give the prize, and after he called upon five or six boys to recite the poem, it came to Tom's turn.
“Well done! Tom! Well done! Tell me how you made it!” said the master with great joy.

At last, the day came on which the master was to give the prize, and after he called upon five or six boys to recite the poem, it came to Toms turn. Tom stood up slowly but confidently. He looked so silent and still. However, there was a laugh from the boys in the classroom, because most of the boys thought that he would fail in this recitation. He recited the poem so fluently that all his classmates were astonished at last.
“Well done! Tom! Well done! Tell me how you made it!” said the master with great joy. “Please, sir, it was the snail on the wall that taught me how to do it,” said Tom. “I saw it crawl up the wall bit by bit. It did not stop, nor turn back, but went on and on. And I thought I would do the same with my task. So I just learned it bit by bit, and did not give up.” “Now, boys, let us give good cheer for Tom Blair and the snail on the wall.” said the master. And the classroom rang with a loud, long cheer. All were glad that “Slow Tom” had got the prize at last.
