三、阅读理解。（本题共20小题，每小题2分，共40分）

A

Educators worry about students turning to ChatGPT, the AI chatbot that can produce clear answers to difficult questions, to help them complete assignments. Many teachers don’t allow their students to use it in writing. But I am telling my students that they are free to use ChatGPT in their writing assignments.

 To keep competitive throughout their lives, students need to learn how to use ChatGPT to produce valuable works. They need to learn to write well-organized articles with a mix of AI-generated text and traditional writing. Also professionals (专业人士) need to learn how to improve human creativity with AI.

 Many students will be unable to refuse the temptation (诱惑) to seek AI help with their writing. And how would an educational institution enforce a ChatGPT ban (禁令)? While there are tools aimed at detecting text produced by AI, future forms of AI will get better at matching human writing—including copying the style of a particular person who is using it. It’s clear that AI writing tools will always be one step ahead of the tools to detect AI-generated text in the arms races.

Writing a good article from the beginning needs good logic. Writing is a skill worthy of a lot of respect, one which few

of us ever master. But most students don’t seek to become professional writers. Instead, they are preparing for careers where they will write to communicate, explain, request and persuade.

When I was a middle and high school student in the late 1970s and early 1980s, I was told that professional success required good writing skills and the ability to perform long division (长除法) by hand. By the time I entered the professional workforce in the late 1980s, technology advances had left those skills outdated. Education culture can be very slow to change, as evidenced by the fact that many schools today still force children to learn long division—a task they will never have to perform anywhere outside school. With AI writing, educators should stay ahead of the development of technology instead of falling behind for tens of years.

1．Why does the author allow his students to use ChatGPT in writing?

A．To compete well in their future life.           B．To produce good writing as a writer.

C．To be creative professionals in future.   D．To improve the standards of traditional writing.

2．What can we infer from the third paragraph?

A．Banning AI effectively is impractical. B．Using ChatGPT may fail in the arms race.

C．Copying the style of human is AI’s aim. D．Refusing AI needs support from students.

3．What does writing mean for most students in the author’s opinion?

A．It is a kind of skill easy to master. B．It is a must to become professional writers.

C．It is a course to focus on thinking. D．It is a way to prepare for their future careers.

4．What does the author mean by mentioning long division by hand?

A．Students refuse to learn useless skills.      B．Education culture changes so quickly.

C．Educators should go ahead of technology.   D．AI writing helps students succeed professionally.

A recent TV drama To the Wonder has become China’s breakout TV hit of the year. It has also won praise at a film festival abroad. To the Wonder is based on the novel of Li Juan, My Altay, and is directed by Teng Congcong. It is filled with beautiful wisdom.

The TV drama follows the journey of Li Wenxiu. She once wished to leave Altay, an area in Northern Xinjiang. After failing to make her dream come true in the capital of Xinjiang, Li has to move back to her hometown and tries to find a new direction for herself. Under the influence of her mother Zhang Fengxia, Li starts to see the place and its people in a new light. Later, she comes to understand their lifestyle and respect (尊重) for nature.

Fans describe watching the drama as an experience in the wonderland. “It’s like breathing in fresh air or lying under the sun,” said one fan. “It is a unique drama, very different from the usual Chinese series. A must-watch if you want to discover the beauty of the grassland and life there,” another fan said.

“People enjoy the wonderful view of Altay. But the key to the success of the drama lies in its ability to connect with the viewers on a human level,” said Teng Congcong.

29．To the Wonder is the name of ________.

A．a foreign novel B．a famous film C．a beautiful poem D．a TV drama

30．Why does Li Wenxiu come back to Altay?

In traditional Chinese performing arts, there are many classic roles, like sheng, dan, jing, mo and chou. Most people usually pay little attention to chou. However, it is a very important part in traditional Chinese operas. The reason is that it joins beauty and ugliness together perfectly. In the past, the chou performer was the first one to get dressed and have his make-up done.

Usually there are two kinds of chou on the stage, wen chou and wu chou. Wen chou often has a white dot painted on his nose and takes the roles of fisherman, boatman, servant and so on. The other kind is wu chou. Wu chou performers often wear tight clothing (紧身衣) and move quickly. They are good at martial arts (武术) and can jump several meters high. They usually express themselves in loud voices and play humorous roles, for example, kind thieves.

Chou performers often make people laugh by their spoken parts and body language, instead of singing skills. Whether they look ugly or beautiful, whether the roles they play are officials or thieves on the stage, chou roles are all humorous characters who appear in funny faces. They use the roles of chou to bring out the good qualities in people. Maybe it is the charm of traditional Chinese operas.

Next time, when you are enjoying a traditional Chinese opera, perhaps you can understand the different beauty behind it.

33．The role of chou is important in traditional Chinese operas because ________.

A．most people usually pay much attention to it B．it joins beauty and ugliness together perfectly

C．it is funny and makes people laugh and happy D．the chou performer was the first to get dressed
