"What we've known about microplastic has been from the sea surface,"says Kyle Van Houtan, "but this study suggests there's a larger amount that's unnoticed." Microplastics are small pieces that break from plastic bottles or bags as they change to 6 simpler chemical forms in the environment.They have different sizes and can be found anywhere, including in the oceans,lakes,soil and even blowing in the air. To study microplastic pollution in deep sea,Houtan's team collected samples()in the sea by using a ROV(遥控潜水器)As the ROV went down from5tol,000 meters below the sea surface,a specially-designed machine filtered()the sample water and kept the small particles().Back in the lab,the team used a special machine to find out the types of plastic present. Although the researchers found microplastic was everywhere,.the amount of the particles was not evenly spread in the water.The midwate 180 to 460 meters below the surface,held the highest amount of microplastic pollution,about four times as much as on the surface.Van Houtan thinks this may be because when plastic breaks down into ever-smaller pieces,they are covered with biological material,which causes them to go down into the deep-sea area. Their findings are based only on a certain area,and if the results hold for the wider ocean environment,the amount of plastic in the midwater would be worrying,because this is key living environment for most sea animals.These particles,which have harmful chemicals,can go into the food webs at both the ocean's surface and seafloor,and can influence reproduction of sea animals. The final effect remains unknown,but what is for certain,Houtan says,is that"this is a serious problem,and it shows humans can change natural systems." Yet in other ways,"the results are encouraging,"he says.Since most of the microplastic waste comes from single-use plastic,this means we could reduce microplastic pollution by cutting down on the production and use of the unnecessary plastic products. 40.Houtan's team used ROV to A.filter the sample water B.examine the chemicals C.collect samples in the sea D.record the depth of water 41.What can we learn from the study mentioned in the passage? A.The sea surface is the most seriously polluted. B.Deep-sea animals will die out in the near future. C.The midwater holds the most microplastic particles. D.Biological materia,destrgys the food webs in deep sea 42.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage? A.To remind people to reduce plastic waste. B.To explain causes of microplastic pollution. C.To introduce changes in the ocean ecosystem. D.To advise people ta recycle single-use products. D Have you ever heard of ChatGPT?It's an AI(人工摺能)language model and is developed by Open AI.It's designed to understand and produce human-like texts. ChatGPT,or "Chatbot Generative Pre-trained Transformer",is an advanced language model which is created with cutting-edge (artificial intelligence (AD techniques.It's designed to understand and produce texts like how humans do.ChatGPT is based on the GPT series of models, and it's the fourth form that is known as GPT-4. ChatGPT is trained on an extremely large amount of text data (from books,websites, and other sources.It learns to understand the structure of the language,grammar,and context. When you provide key words about a text,ChatGPT organizes the information in a special order and makes a response,which is based on its knowledge. The model has been trained to use a technique called "unsupervised learning",which means it's unnecessary to tell it what to do and how to do it.It leamns by observing patterns and relationships in the data.This helps ChatGPT to be highly creative and more suitable. As a middle school student,you may find ChatGPT an excellent resource for different kinds of tasks.If you're stuck on a problem or need help to understand a concept ()ChatGPT can provide explanations and examples.It can help you brainstorm ideas,make outlines,and even proofread your articles to improve your writing skills.If you're learning a new language,it can help you practice by making conversations or translating phrases.It can also be a source of entertainment,creating stories,jokes,or even taking part in friendly conversations. ChatGPT is undoubtedly a powerful tool.However,it is important to note that ChatGPT is not perfect and may sometimes make responses that are not appropriate or correct.We should use critical thinking skills and evaluate the responses which are generated by ChatGPT to ensure that they are appropriate and helpful. 43.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A.What ChatGPT is. B.How ChatGPT works. C.How ChatGPT helps you. D Why ChatGPT is used. 44.What can we learn from the passage? A.ChatGPT cannot help you relax. B.We should check what we get from ChatGPT. 8 C.ChatGPT learns to understand and produce under directions. D.No key words need to be put in before ChatGPT starts to work. 45.The underlined word"proofread"in Paragraph 5 probably means A.read and correct B.choose and write C.practice and create D.remember and understand 46.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.ChatGPT-Train It Properly and Follow It B.ChatGPT-Use It Responsibly and Enjoy It C.Meet ChatGPT:A Friendly AI Language Model for You D.Welcome ChatGPT:A Big Change in Computer Technology 第三部分 六、阅读表达。（第47-49题每题2分，第50题4分，共10分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Have you ever paid for educational podcasts ()or live videos?Most of you will say yes.
