I want to take my money to the afterlife (来生).” Well, one day, he died. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers closed the casket, the wife said, “Wait just a minute!” She came over with a box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked it down. Her friend said, “I hope you weren’t crazy enough to put all that money in the casket.” She said, “Yes, I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him.” “You mean that you put all his money in the casket?” “I sure did,” said the wife, “I got it all together, put it into my account (账户) and I wrote him a check (支票).” 38.

C Fan Shenghua is one of the inheritors (继承人) of West Lake Longjing tea roasting technique (炒茶技艺). He has been making Longjing tea for more than forty years. Longjing tea leaves are famous for their color, taste and shape. “You have to touch the leaves with your hands to feel how much water is removed (去除),” Fan said. “If too much is removed, the leaves will break into pieces. If not enough is removed, the tea will taste bitter (苦).” This traditional technique dates back to (追溯到) the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It not only makes the tea taste good, but has also become an important part of Chinese tea culture. These days, however, more people are using machines to do the job. “It’s easier, but the tea is not as good,” Fan said,“Machine-made tea floats (漂浮) longer in water and tastes bitter.” When people see Fan change the strength (力量) and movement of his hands as he roasts leaves, they all believe that modern technology cannot take man’s place. Fan is now teaching some young men. His son, a 27-year-old college graduate, is one of them. “It’s a tradition. We need to pass it down (传承),” he said. 41. According to Paragraph 2, what will happen to tea leaves if they have too much water? A. They will go bad quickly. B. They will break into pieces. C. They will lose their fresh taste. D. They will have a bitter taste. 42. What does the underlined part “This traditional technique” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A Picking tea leaves. B. Roasting tea leaves by hand. C. Drinking tea in a traditional way. D. Growing tea plants on the mountains. 43. What does Fan think of making tea by machine? A. It is easier than by hand. B. It has a long history in China. C. It makes tea taste better and better. D. It becomes an important part of tea culture. 44 What does the passage mainly want to tell us? A. How to tell good tea apart from bad tea. B. Longjing tea leaves are the best in the world. C. How tea is packed and sent to other countries. D. Sometimes only by hand can we make the best of the things. D Losing something is always common among people. It can be a very anxious experience. But if someone finds it and returns it to you, there’s no doubt that you will be happy to get it back. The government in Guangzhou has created a rule to call on more people to return lost objects. The rule says that people who hand in lost objects will get 10 percent of the objects’ value (价值) as a reward (奖励) from the government. If the owner of the object can’t be found in the end, the finder should be allowed to get a reward after it is sold. The rule has caused public discussions. Some people think that it will take away the act of its nobility (高尚). They also think such good actions should be done out of kindness, Qianjiang Evening News reported. However, there are also people supporting the rule, saying it will encourage more people to do the right thing, Beijing Daily reported. After all, not everybody is willing to return lost objects to the owners. Finders will have to take care of the lost objects and spend time looking for their owners. Then some of them may choose to keep the lost objects. The rule gives finders the right to ask for a reward, which is in the best interest of both sides. In fact, some foreign countries have already managed to put similar rules into practice. For example, the owner should provide the finder with a reward of 5 to 20 percent of the object’s value in Japan. And according to the governments of these countries, there are many advantages (好处) of doing so. 45. What can the finders do if the owners aren’t found? A. Take the objects home. B. Sell the objects themselves. C. Get rewards from the government. D. Give away the objects to others in need. 46. Why do some people support the rule? A. Because it can show people’s kindness. B. Because it encourages people to return the lost objects. C. Because it’s helpful to find the owners of the lost objects. D. Because it can make people take more care of their things. 47. What’s the structure (结构) of the passage? P=Paragraph A. B. C. D. 48. What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the new rule? A. Excited. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Unclear. E Can you imagine that there is an AI chatbot (聊天机器人) competing with you in an examination? Do you think you could get higher scores than it? It is reported that a new AI chatbot called ChatGPT recently got a good grade in a law school exam. Sounds crazy? The use of ChatGPT has raised hot discussions in the education world. Please check out the discussion in the story. If you type in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask ChatGPT to write a bedtime story for you, just a few seconds later, you’ll get the story about how a cat goes on his way and finally sings among the stars in space. ChatGPT was developed by US company OpenAI, and has won 100 million users since it came out in November 2022. People can ask the robot to write stories and e-mails, turn a language into another one, and even answer all kinds of questions. ________, ChatGPT uses a much bigger database (数据库). It can also learn things by itself. For example, if it provides a wrong answer to your question, you can tell it the right one and it will make it right next time. The knowledge level of ChatGPT is similar to a college student. That’s why it surprised the world. A US research center surveyed more than 1,000 students, and surprisingly found that over 89% of them have used ChatGPT to help with homework. Three fifths of the students even used ChatGPT to take exams and got high scores. Some schools in Australia and France have banned the use of ChatGPT. In the US, New York City public schools don’t allow students and teachers to use ChatGPT on the whole city’s networks, CNN reported. Also, one big problem with ChatGPT is that it makes mistakes or even gives wrong information. These are things that need to be dealt with. 49. How does the writer start the passage? A. By telling stories. B. By giving examples. C. By asking questions. D. By listing numbers. 50. Which of the following can be put in “________”? A. Helped by many college students B. Writing stories and e-mails C. Singing songs and translating texts D. Compared with Siri or other chatbots 51. What does the underlined word “banned” mean? A. Reduced. B. Not spread. C. Not allowed. D. Required. 52. Which is the best title for this passage? A. Is It a Helper for Studying or Cheating? B. Will an AI Chatbot Compete with You? C. Will You Write a Story Using ChatGPT? D. How Does a Cat Go on His Way to Space?
