第2页共10页

temperature would get very low,which could quickly kill him.
Using his skis,Nicholas built a snow cave.He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole
in the middle.Then he piled branches on top of himself,like a blanket,to stay as warm as he could.

so that his body wouldn't lose too much water.Not knowing how much longer he could last,
Nicholas did the only thing he could-he huddled()in his cave and slept.
The next day,Nicholas went out to look for help,but he couldn't find anyone.He followed his
tracks and returned to the snow cave,because without shelter,he could die that night.On Tuesday,
Nicholas went out again to find help.He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher
found him.After two days stuck in the snow,Nicholas was saved.
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV.He had often
watched Grylls'survival show Man vs.Wild.That's where he learned the tips that saved his life.In
each episode(一期节目)of Man vs.Wld,Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his

The sharp fin().The rows upon rows of sharp teeth.The large black eyes.The sharks you sec
on television in Jaws or Discovery's"Shark Week"are not the friendliest looking creatures.They
aren't exactly an animal you want to find near you while swimming in the ocean.Despite their
portrayals (in movies and popular culture,sharks are complicated,misunderstood creatures
that are weaker than they appear.
One very common misunderstanding about sharks is their desire to hunt humans.Actually when
sharks attack humans,it is because they mistake a human for their normal prey ()seals or
dolphins.They don't seek out humans on purpose.Statistically,you are more likely to be struck by
lightning than be bitten by a shark.
Sharks are very important to the ocean as they are at the top of the food chain.Some sharks even
control the balance of an ecosystem through fear alone.Tiger sharks in Australia help protect
seagrass meadows from turtles.Turtles eat the seagrass and without the sharks,will destroy these
meadows.When tiger sharks are present though,the turtles are scared away,holding back their
appetite for seagrass and protecting its growth.
Though sharks have a reputation for being very scary to humans,the sad truth is that they should
be scared of humans.The number of sharks in the ocean is steadily dropping.There are a few reasons
for this.For one,they maturc quite slowly,over several years,and produce relatively few young.For
another,overfishing of sharks is happening because more and more people want their fins.About 100
million sharks are killed every year according to National Geographic.Shark fin is a way for people
to show off their wealth.Shark fins are also believed to have medicinal benefits,though there is no
evidence or proof that they actually do.
28.What do most people think about sharks?
A.They arc ugly.
B.They are important
C.They are violent.
D.They are complicated.
29.What does the author try to show by comparing shark bites to lightning strikes?
A.Shark bites are deadly.
B.Shark bites are rare.
C.Shark bites are unpredictable
D.Shark bites are paintuk
30.Why should sharks be scared of humans according to the author?
第4页共10页
A.Humnns keep sharks to show off.
B.Humans catch sharks for medical research.
C.Humans kill sharks in large quantities.
D.Humans are greater in number than sharks
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Ocean Life:Save Our Sharks!
B.Sharks:Kings orProtectors?
C.Ocean Life:An Ecological Crisis!
D.Sharks:Killers or Misunderstood?

Will artificial intelligence(AD replace my job?This is a question that many people think about
thesc days.At present,the application of AI robotics in professional fields,as well as ChatGPT's
abilities to write essays,solve complex problems and more,have heightened moral concerns.
Some people see AI as the ultimate cure for society's most fundamental problems,while others
fear that AI will overtake human intelligence.These two views are based on the assumption that AI is
better and smarter than humanity and may ultimately replace human decision-making.But given the
fact that technology is the product of human civilization,the challenge from AI is something we have
created for ourselves as we kecp pushing our own boundaries.In other words,AI's progress,
functions and future direction are all determined by the human brain.
Before Al becomes a threat to humanity,the international community should reach an agreement
on the role it is to play.More importantly,related laws and regulations must ensure that
AI will benefit society and prevent it from threatening human life.Robots,for example,are believed
to develop emotional intelligence somenme,which enables them to recognize,understand and
express cmotions in a way that is similar to humans,but we must avoid Al copying human emotions.
Without legal restrictions,AI may become a social disaster.
The AI-driven new industrial revolution is irreversible.This,like previous ones,which
introduced changes that had been unimaginable before,will certainly affect human employment.But
it always tumned out humanity was able to adapt to each industrial revolution and create new forms of
employment.Therefore,it's unnecessary to worry AI will replace our jobs.While technology
advances at a rapid pace,what we need to do is to welcome the Alxra rather than block its unfolding
for fear of the unknown.
32.What does the author imply about Al's future?
A.It will be too complex to control.
B.It depends on human innovation.
第5页共10页
C.It will be regulated more strictly.
D.It may outperform the human brain.
33.How can we prevent Al s potential threat?
A.By stirring emotions.
B.By blocking functions.
C.By setting restrictions.
D.By changing regulations.
34.What does the underlined word"irreversible"in the last paragraph mcan?
A.Undesirable.
B.Unavoidable.
C.Unpredictable.
D.Unbelievable.
35.What does the writer suggest readers do with the coming of the Al era?
A.Deal with it positively
B.Accept it passively.
C.Respond to it randomly.
D.Defend it unconditionally.

It took place in a teacher's family.One day,Ben was playing basketball in the living room after
school,when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf.The vase dropped to the floor
and a large picce broke off.What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration
but an antique ()which was handed down through generations from the 18th century.It was also
his mother's favourite possession.To cover his terrible action,the terrified boy glued the pieces together
hastily and put the vase back to its place.
As the mother herself dusted the vase every day,she naturally noticed the cracks (that
evening.To her surprise,the repair work was actually very good.At dinner time,she asked her boy if he
broke the vase.Fearing punishment,the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbor's cat jumped in from
the window and he couldn't drive it away no matter how hard he tried.It raced around the living room
and finally knocked the vase off its shelf.His mother was quite clear that her son was lying,for all the
windows were closed before she left for work each moming and opened after she returned.However,in
the face of her son's nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members,Ben's mother
remained calm.She realized she shouldn't just simply blame and punish her son for lying.She came up

with another idea.
Before going to bed,the boy found a note from his mother in his room,asking him to go to the
study at once.The boy thought he would now be punished but,as he had already lied,he decided to
deny everything,no matter how angry his mum became.
In the study,calmly bathed in the light,his mother's face showed no sign of anger.On seeing her
son push open the door and cautiously enter,she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him
one.
