It can answer questions, tell stories and write articles. But it’s very “thirsty”, said a new study from Harvard University. ChatGPT has “homes” around the world in data centres (数据中心). When it works, the computers in the data centres get very hot. Workers then have to use water to cool them down. Cold water goes into pipes near the computers. The water needs to be very clean. They can’t use seawater because it can eat away the pipes. When you ask ChatGPT 50 questions, it “drinks” 500 millilitres (ml) of water. Scientists used about 700,000 litres of water to build ChatGPT. The water use is very big. People can make 370 cars with the water. ChatGPT is just one of the AI tools around the world. You need data centres to do everything on the internet. There are more than 8,000 data centres around the world. The number is still growing. AI uses a lot of water to “grow”. The world’s water may not be enough. Many people don’t have enough water to drink. But AI technology helps people. Should we rethink how we use AI? 21. Which of the following can ChatGPT do? ①Answer questions. ②Fly planes. ③Write articles. ④Tell stories. A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②④ 22. What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 2? A. Homes. B. Computers. C. Workers. D. Pipes. 23. If you ask ONE question, how many millilitres of water can ChatGPT “drink”? A. 10. B. 100. C. 50. D. 500. 24. What can we learn from Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5? A. ChatGPT is the only AI tool around the world. B. The number of data centres is not growing now. C. AI tools can work in a better way without any water. D. We may have to “fight” with AI for water in the future. 25. What is the main idea of the article? A. ChatGPT is a good artificial intelligence tool. B. ChatGPT needs lots of water when it works. C. ChatGPT helps people do many different things. D. ChatGPT has “homes” around the world in data centres. B Have you ever wondered why so many apps are free to use? After all, they cost money to run. Well, instead of paying with money, you’re paying by sharing your personal data (数据). Then businesses buy and use the data so that they can show you targeted ads (定向广告). What happens to personal information online? Many free apps get paid by businesses that want to know about the users of the apps. What a business wants is the exact information about customers. Companies called “data brokers” collect your data—everything from your name, location and education level to the topics you search for, the websites you visit and the people you follow, and then sell it to other brokers and businesses. __________ The data is valuable. Businesses can use the information from data brokers to target their ads. It means they will show their ads to the people who are most likely to be interested in their products or services. What can we do about it? Many countries have made laws to protect personal information. For example, a law in the United States says companies must get parents’ permission to collect personal data from kids under 13. China’s law on personal information protection came into effect on November 1, 2021. At the same time, we should try to protect our data. If an app asks for something like your location, consider saying “No” first. In short, information about you is very valuable. Try to protect it. 26. According to the passage, how can people use some apps for free? A. By sharing their personal data. B. By buying and using the data. C. By showing the targeted ads. D. By talking with friends. 27. According to the passage, which picture can describe how businesses show their targeted ads? A. B. C. D. 28. According to the passage, why do “data brokers” collect personal information? A. To use the apps for free. B. To sell the information to businesses. C. To protect users’ personal data. D. To make new laws about privacy. 29. Which of the following can be put in the “________”? A. What are people interested in? B. Why do businesses show their ads? C. Why do businesses want the data? D. What are the new products? 30. Who’s the passage written for? A. Businessmen. B. App users. C. Lawyers. D. Data brokers. C Ever feel lost with numbers? The right graph can help! It makes data clear. Let’s look at the four most common graph types: Pie Chart It’s good for showing a certain part of a whole and the proportion (比例) of each part. A pie chart enables you to plan your pocket money wisely:for snacks, books, and savings. Line Graph An excellent choice if you want to describe how something changes over time. It is also good for showing big differences. Many teachers prefer using a line graph to track students’ grades. Bar Graph A bar graph can also show changes over time. However, it’s more direct to make comparisons (对比) between two or more things. That’s why we can use it to compare the popularity of different school clubs among your classmates. Venn Diagram (维恩图) A Venn Diagram features two overlapping circles. It’s perfect for sorting (分类) information. You can use a Venn Diagram to sort plants. For example, plants with green leaves go on the left; plants with flowers go on the right; plants with both go in the middle where the circles overlap. 31. Where can we probably find the passage? A. In a historical novel. B. In a tour guide. C. In a sports newspaper. D. In a maths textbook. 32. How many kinds of data display graphs are mentioned in the passage? A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6. 33. If you want to show big differences and how something changes over time, which graph would be a good choice? A. Pie Chart. B. Bar Graph. C. Line Graph. D. Venn Diagram. 34. The underlined phrase “overlapping circles” means a circle ________. A. that covers part of another circle. B. that is inside another circle. C. that is far away from another circle. D. that is drawn under another circle. 35. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To help people create a project. B. To tell people about the use of data. C. To introduce some helpful data display methods. D. To show how Venn Diagrams are different from other ways. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） Numbers are widely used in the business world. Managers use them to make almost every important decision. For example, they check sales figures every month to see which products are popular. ____36____ This information helps them decide how many items to produce next season.

A salesperson may need to reach a certain number of customers each week. ____37____ When workers meet their goals, they may receive bonuses (奖金) or promotions (晋升). Customer satisfaction is another area where numbers matter. After each purchase, companies often ask customers to give a score from one to ten. ____38____ A low score tells them that something needs to be improved. Budgeting is also impossible without numbers. All departments in a company must plan how much money they will spend each year. ____39____ If they spend too much, the company may lose money. If they spend too little, they might miss important opportunities. In short, numbers are the language of business. ____40____ Without them, companies would not know if they are succeeding or failing.

Their school library was almost empty. A group of students from a city middle school learned about this and decided to take action. They started a book drive called “Pages of Friendship”. First, they made posters and gave speeches in their school to encourage book donations. They collected used books from their own homes, classmates, and neighbours. Then they put the books into different groups: storybooks for primary students, science and history books for older children, and colourful picture books for the youngest readers. After that, they worked with their teachers to contact the village school and plan how to send the books. Every month, they carefully packed and sent a box of 50 books. To make the connection more meaningful, they also wrote letters to the village children, sharing good books and their own school life stories. The village children wrote back with drawings and their thoughts about the books, expressing their excitement and thankfulness. One student wrote, “These books are like windows to a bigger world that I’ve never seen before.” The project not only provided books for children, but also built a bridge of friendship between city and village students. 46.
