I would like each one of you to do a project. It will be shown at the Math Week exhibition. You could do it on your own or in a group, ” Mrs. Lee, the math teacher said. After school, Manu sat in the classroom along with Kevin who was not as good as Manu at math. Kevin said, “Manu, shall we work on the math project together?” Manu said, “Sorry, but I prefer to do it on my own.” The next day, all the students submitted （提交）their topics for the math exhibition. Almost all of them worked in a group except Manu. Kevin’s team decided to do Snakes and Ladders, Junaid’s team decided to do a crossword puzzle, and Manu decided to do a magic game, and of course, he did it all alone. Manu completed the project and was happy with the result. The night before the exhibition, he again checked the project to see if it was working fine. Alas! All the lights that were supposed to shine did not seem to light up at all. Manu was worried and even cried out because he didn’t know how to fix it. In the end, he had no choice but to take it to school. At the same time, Kevin’s team were working on their project at Kevin’s house. If one member got stuck somewhere, the others helped out. It was a sight of real team work. Finally, it was time for the Math Week exhibition. All the teams placed their projects on the table with pride except Manu. Students enjoyed Snakes and Ladders. Manu was embarrassed （尴尬的）to present his non-working magic game. Mrs. Lee looked at him and said, “There’s still time. Maybe you can get someone to help you with it. ” Kevin offered to help. Luckily, he fixed it just in time for the show. Manu’s eyes were shining with excitement and he said to himself “It’s certainly great to have a teammate.” 24. Which project did Manu make for Math Week? A. Snakes and Ladders. B. A magic game. C. A crossword puzzle. D. A poster. 25. What happened the night before the exhibition? A. Kevin offered to work with Manu. B. Mrs. Lee advised Manu to get help. C. Manu was refused by Junaid’s team. D. Manu’s project failed to work properly. 26. From his experience Manu ________. A. realized the importance of team effort B. found math the most interesting subject C. regretted designing such a difficult project D. understood making friends helps one go far C People used to see lots of plastics on the sea surface. Now in a study, researchers have found that the microplastic pollution in deep water is much more serious than that on the sea surface. “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 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(样本) in the sea by using a ROV(遥控潜水器). As the ROV went down from 5 to 1,000 meters below the sea surface, a specially-designed machine filtered(过滤) the sample water and kept the small particles(微粒). 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 midwater, 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. 27. Houtan’s team used ROV to _________. A filter the sample water B. collect samples in the sea C. examine the chemicals D. record the depth of water 28. 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 material destroys the food webs in deep sea. 29. 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 to recycle single-use products. D Have you ever heard of ChatGPT? It’s an AI (人工智能) 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 (尖端) artificial intelligence (AI) 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 (数据) 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 learns 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 (概念), 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. 30. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. What ChatGPT is. B. How ChatGPT works. C. How ChatGPT helps you. D. Why ChatGPT is used. 31. What can we learn from the passage? A. ChatGPT cannot help you relax. B. We should check what we get from ChatGPT. C. ChatGPT learns to understand and produce under directions. D. No key words need to be put in before ChatGPT starts to work. 32. 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 33. 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 (播客) or live videos? Most of you will say yes. “Pay-for-knowledge” has been more and more popular these years. These products are from language learning to gardening or baby-caring. Everything can be found online at this moment “pay-for-knowledge” is on the rise. Why is “pay-for-knowledge” industry developing so quickly? First, its development is based on the Internet. With a fast network and a smartphone, anyone who has passed the identity (身份) check can be an online teacher, and anyone with an online account (账户) can buy “pay-for-knowledge” products at an affordable price. Second, people are afraid to miss any information. On the one hand, people hope for more useful information. On the other hand, such information is usually at the hands of experts (专家) who serve well-known companies or universities. The need to learn new skills in today’s job market also pushes people to learn on such educational podcasts. The industry of “pay-for-knowledge” carries three benefits. It promises possibilities of turning information into money. For example, it is good for the development of our country and it can help sellers make money. Besides, buyers can enjoy self-growth from it. What’s more, it shows people’s respect for knowledge. However, the fast development of “pay-for-knowledge” has a few problems. For one, the market is full of eye-catching words such as “How to Be an Industry’s Expert in 5 Hours” and “15 Classes to Be a Master of Appreciating (欣赏) Classical Music”, which sound like if you pay for it, you are sure to succeed. For another, a large number of customers buy them just for showing off. In fact, those who have really had self-growth after buying online courses may be the kind of people who need them least, because they are those who have the ability to learn by themselves. In general, the best is the one that fits you most. “Pay-for-knowledge” may be used as a good. start for self-growth. Be careful! Or, your dream of success may not come true. 34. What is the development of “pay-for-knowledge” industry based on? _______________________________________________________________________ 35. Who can buy “pay-for-knowledge” products at an affordable price? _______________________________________________________________________ 36. How many benefits does the “pay-for-knowledge” industry have? _______________________________________________________________________ 37. What do you think of “pay-for-knowledge”? Why do you think so? (Give at least two reasons.) _______________________________________________________________________ 七、文段表达。（10分） 38. 根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。 假如你是李华，你校英语社团正在开展线上国际交流活动，其公众号计划做关于健康生活方式的系列推送，现就“How to Keep Healthy”这一话题在校内收集素材。请你用英语给公众号留言，谈谈你对健康生活方式的认识和看法，在日常生活中你是怎么做的以及你对保持健康的建议。 提示词语：important, vegetables, exercise, sleep 提示问题：●What do you think of healthy life? ●What do you usually do to keep healthy? ●What suggestions do you have?

Now in a study, researchers have found that the microplastic pollution in deep water is much more serious than that on the sea surface. “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 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(样本) in the sea by using a ROV(遥控潜水器). As the ROV went down from 5 to 1,000 meters below the sea surface, a specially-designed machine filtered(过滤) the sample water and kept the small particles(微粒). 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 midwater, 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. 27. Houtan’s team used ROV to _________. A. filter the sample water B. collect samples in the sea C. examine the chemicals D. record the depth of water 28. 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 material destroys the food webs in deep sea. 29. 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 to recycle single-use products. 【答案】27. B 28. C 29. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了海面上看到很多塑料，而研究发现深水中的微塑料污染比海面上的污染严重得多。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“To study microplastic pollution in deep sea, Houtan’s team collected samples(样本) in the sea by using a ROV(遥控潜水器).”可知Houtan的团队使用遥控潜水器在海中收集样本。故选B。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The midwater, 180 to 460 meters below the surface, held the highest amount of microplastic pollution, about four times as much as on the surface.”可知地表以下180至460米的中层水域的微塑料污染量最高。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据“People used to see lots of plastics on the sea surface. Now in a study, researchers have found that the microplastic pollution in deep water is much more serious than that on the sea surface. ”以及“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”（由于大多数微塑料废物来自一次性塑料，这意味着我们可以通过减少不必要的塑料产品的生产和使用来减少微塑料污染）可推知作者写这篇文章是为了提醒人们减少塑料垃圾，保护环境。故选A。 D Have you ever heard of ChatGPT? It’s an AI (人工智能) 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 (尖端) artificial intelligence (AI) 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 (数据) 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 learns 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 (概念), 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. 30. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. What ChatGPT is. B. How ChatGPT works. C. How ChatGPT helps you. D. Why ChatGPT is used. 31. What can we learn from the passage? A. ChatGPT cannot help you relax. B. We should check what we get from ChatGPT. C. ChatGPT learns to understand and produce under directions. D. No key words need to be put in before ChatGPT starts to work. 32. 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 33. 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 【答案】30. B 31. B 32. A 33.
