People from different cultures have different answers: shaking hands, nodding, bowing, kissing on the face. But have you ever wondered how animals “say hello” to each other? Here are some examples. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) Everyone knows how similar chimpanzees are to humans. So it’s no surprise that their greetings are also close to ours. The most common ways of greeting between chimpanzees are hand touching and hugging. Sometimes they also kiss each other. Some chimpanzees can even learn simple sign languages Giraffes Giraffes seldom make loud sounds. Their necks can reach two meters in length making them useful in greeting each other. When two giraffes meet, they may shake their, necks and rub (摩擦) them against each other. This is to feel how strong and tall the other is. Dolphins Dolphins greet one another with whistles (哨声). They can hear other dolphins far from them. Every dolphin has a different whistle when two groups of dolphins meet, they each choose a member to “talk” to the other group. The two groups can then travel together. Unlike most of the other animals, dolphins are smart enough to learn a new language by inventing and copying new sounds. 21. How do chimpanzees often greet each other? A. By touching hands and hugging. B. By making loud sounds. C. By whistling to each other. D. By nodding and bowing. 22. Why do giraffes shake their necks and rub them against each other? A. To reach taller trees. B. To make loud sounds. C. To know about each other. D. To fight with each other. 23. What are dolphins like? A. They are lazy and quiet. B. They are friendly and clever. C. They are honest and shy. D. They are strong and similar to humans. B Tony Smith went to work in Tangshan last year. He arrived in Tangshan on a rainy day in winter, and he did not bring enough clothes. He soon found that the weather there in winter was very cold. Tony did not like the weather in Tangshan. The weather changed almost every day. Tony was born in London. The weather in London is usually the same every day in the same season. During this year’s winter holidays, Tony will not stay in Tangshan. He is going to visit many places in China. Two of his friends, David and Kevin, will go with him. They will leave Tangshan by train on January 27. They have a lot of plans. They are going to visit Xuanwu Lake Park in Nanjing and some other beautiful parks. While they are visiting Hangzhou, they will meet some friends from the U. K. Those friends have worked in Hangzhou for more than three years. They will buy some presents at these places. They are sure that their friends in Tangshan will like the presents a lot. They will return to Tangshan by plane and they will be back in Tangshan before the eve of the Chinese New Year. 24. Why didn’t Tom like the weather in Tangshan at first? A. Because the weather in winter was too hot. B. Because the weather in Tangshan was the same as that in London. C.

D. Tom will meet some friends from the U. K. C Have you ever talked to a smartphone or something that helps to find information or complete tasks (任务) just like Baidu? Well, the ChatGPT is a kind of thing like that, but it’s even smarter. ChatGPT is a cool computer program that can answer questions and can have conversations with you. It can understand what you are saying and respond (反应) in a way. It was released (发布) by OpenAI in November, 2022. They used a lot of information from books, websites and even movies to teach ChatGPT to talk to people. Now the ChatGPT is ready to talk to you. You can ask it anything you want to know like what’s the capital of France or what’s the biggest animal in the world. But ChatGPT is more than just a searching machine. It can also have real conversations with you. You can ask it how it’s feeling or tell it a joke. ________ ChatGPT is not just a fun program to talk to but it’s also a great tool to help you learn new things. Every time you ask the ChatGPT a question, you are increasing your knowledge. Maybe you will discover a new hobby or find an answer to a question that has been bothering (烦扰) you for a while. But most importantly, using ChatGPT can be a lot of fun. It’s like having a new friend who is always there to chat with you and answer your questions. However, ChatGPT isn’t perfect. It cannot take the place of face-to-face communication. Some people will use it to cheat, so we should use it correctly. 27. The writer introduces the topic of ChatGPT by ________. A. listing facts B. showing differences C. asking a question D. giving an example 28. Which of the following is the best for “________”? A. It can make you laugh when you are sad. B.

A. a notice B. a science newspaper C. a poster D. a history book Ⅷ. 阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分） 阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，简略完成下面小题，要求所写答案语法正确，语义完整切题。 A lot of families in Britain grow vegetables.
