并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Here are several places which will surprise you.
Death Valley，California，USA
Very lively at night but completely dead during the day，this place is
nothing but dry hot desert.It actually holds the record for the hottest air
temperature.It has an average temperature of 46℃ but it has reached 56.7℃ in
1913 and is considered to be a current record.As the driest place in the
USA，this place is actually inhabited even though less than a thousand people
live there.
Kebili，Tunisia
Tunisia's close location to the Mediterranean Sea suggests that it should be
nice and cool but Kebili is a desert town which has the highest temperature
recorded at 55℃.The people inhabiting the area have adjusted to tough conditions and
learned to spend most of their time in the shade.Date palms are one of the key features
of this place.
Wādī Halfā，Sudan
The city is located on the shores of Lake Nubia，and dust storms are a
pretty common thing in the summer.With an average temperature of 41℃，it
still managed to make it to 53℃ in 1967.You would think that it should be a
little bit cooler for it is the most northern place in Sudan.
Dashte Lut Desert，Iran
It's another uninhabited desert which is actually getting super hot.In the
past 20 years，the temperatures of 70℃ have been recorded.The salt desert
spreads over 200 miles and even wildlife is not that spread.The place is popular
with tourists and naturalists who would like to experience extreme landscapes.
21.What can we say about Death Valley？
A.There is little rainfall in it.
共10页 第3页

B
Recently I bought a book about signposts.Signposts aren't very interesting，
you're thinking.Well，that，of course，depends on whether you happen to be
lost！ Ancient travelers would have been grateful for these when settlements were
smaller and further apart.In winter，the ability to reach shelter for the night could be
the difference between life and death.
One of the very earliest waymarks discovered is in Cumbria.Dating from
Roman times，it had lain fallen until 1836，when a farmer ploughing his
fields came across a sandstone.There are other stone posts that have stood by
roadsides for centuries.It wasn't until 1697 that an act was passed declaring that
guidestones must be built.
This applied to remote parts of the country where there might be
confusion as to which path led to the nearest market town.Later ， with the
appearance of the Royal Mail，the number rose still further.Nowadays many of
these early road signs are designated (指定) as Listed Monuments.
“How times change！” Lucy，an enthusiastic walker，to whom I loaned
the book，exclaimed.
“I suppose now we all rely far more upon mobile phones to guide us.”
“Yet they aren't perfect.Whenever I go out，I prefer a map.I never have
to worry about running out of battery.” “I'm always grateful to whoever is
placing waymarkers along the route，” she added，“I suppose that however
sure we are，a little outside confirmation is always welcome.”
Lucy is quite right there.Life itself can offer us a great many choices of
path，and sometimes it isn't easy to know if we've chosen the best one.
Perhaps when it comes to gratitude，we should also include thanks for
those people who appear in our lives when we most need them — either
giving us gentle warning that we might be heading in the wrong direction，or
reassurance that we are on the right track.After all，we'd be lost without them！
24.What does the underlined word “these” in the first paragraph refer to？
A.Signposts. B.Abilities.
C.Settlements. D.Shelters.
25.What contributed to the initial spread of signposts？
A.The market trade.
B.The act passed in 1697.
C.The discovery of the sandstone.
共10页 第4页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司D.The appearance of the Loyal Mail.
26.What does Lucy think of signposts？
A.Popular. B.Outdated.
C.Imperfect. D.Helpful.
27.What does the author learn from signposts？
A.To choose right tracks.
B.To live a colorful life.
C.To have a grateful mind.
D.To offer practical choices.

Scientists at Purdue University created the world's whitest paint — a discovery
that not only adds yet another choice to the “which white should we paint this
wall” dilemma，but also might help the climate crisis.
The paint was developed by Purdue mechanical engineering professor
Xiulin Ruan and his team.It works through a passive cooling technology that offers
great promises to reduce space cooling cost and global warming.“When we started
this project seven years ago，we had saving energy and fighting climate change
in mind，” Ruan said in a podcast (播客) episode of This Is Purdue.They
wanted to create a paint that would reflect sunlight away from a building，
dramatically decreasing the need for air conditioning.
Heating，cooling，and lighting account for 28 percent of the world's total
greenhouse gas emissions.And overusing air conditioning can overwhelm a city's
power grid and cause blackouts (停电).In a Queens blackout in 2006，175，000
people were left without power，which led to 40 deaths.This paint could
effectively be an alternative to air conditioners in some places.
The paint reflects 98.1% of solar radiation while also giving out infrared
(红外线的) heat.Because the paint takes in less heat from the sun than it gives out，a
surface coated with this paint is cooled below the surrounding temperature
without using power.Covering a roof area of 1，000 square feet with the paint
could create 10 kilowatts of cooling power，the researchers found.“That's
more powerful than the air conditioners used by most houses，” Ruan told
This Is Purdue.
You can't buy the paint just yet，but researchers are partnering with a
company to put the paint on the market.While individual action to fight
climate change can help save our planet，it's important to note that the vast
majority of the world's greenhouse gas emissions can be traced back to 100
companies.Maybe we can douse(浇) those companies with this white paint，too —
it could be worth a shot.
28.What is known about the paint？
A.It has different colors.
B.It doesn't cost much.
C.It uses heating technology.
D.It is climatefriendly.
29.What is the Queens blackout mentioned to show？
A.The poor management of power.
B.The significance of the paint.
C.The importance of air conditioning.
D.The result of global warming.

A.Its application.
B.Its function.
C.Its composition.
D.Its disadvantage.
31.What can be learned from the last paragraph？
A.The quality of the paint needs improving.
B.The paint will bring profits to the 100 companies.
C.Researchers want to see the paint in commercial use.
D.Individual efforts matter in creating the whitest paint.

Human responses to moral dilemmas can be influenced by statements
written by the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT，according to a study
published in Scientific Reports.The findings indicate that users may
underestimate the extent to which their own moral judgments can be influenced by
the chatbot.
Sebastian Krigel and colleagues asked ChatGPT multiple times whether it
is right to sacrifice (牺牲) the life of one person in order to save the lives of five
others.They found that ChatGPT wrote random statements arguing both for and
against sacrificing one life，indicating that it is not biased towards a certain
moral stance (立场).
The authors then presented 767 U.S.participants，who were on average 39
years old，with a dilemma whether to sacrifice one person's life to save five
others.Before answering，participants read a statement provided by ChatGPT
arguing either for or against sacrificing one life to save five.After answering，
participants were asked whether the statement they read influenced their answers.
Eighty percent of participants reported that their answers were not
influenced by the statements they read.However，the authors found that the
answers participants believed they would have provided without reading the
statements were still more likely to agree with the moral stance of the statement they
did read than with the opposite stance.This indicates that participants may have
underestimated the influence of ChatGPT's statements on their own moral judgments.
The authors suggest that the potential for chatbots to influence human moral
judgments highlights the need for education to help humans better understand
artificial intelligence.They propose that future research should design chatbots that
either decline to answer questions requiring a moral judgment or answer these
questions by providing multiple arguments and warnings.
32.What are ChatGPT's answers to a certain moral stance？
A.Inconsistent. B.Valuable.
C.Creative. D.Simple.
33.What is learned about the participants？
A.They admitted the power of ChatGPT.
B.They were interviewed by a moral advisor.
C.They were affected by ChatGPT unknowingly.
D.They were presented with different moral dilemmas.
34.What is the last paragraph mainly about？
A.Different findings of the study.
B.Future potentials for chatbots.
共10页 第6页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C.Major focuses of future education.
D.Solutions to the impact of chatbots.
35.Which of the following is the best title for the text？
A.ChatGPT Tends to Cause Moral Panics
B.ChatGPT：Is It Likely to Affect Our Life？
C.ChatGPT：Why Is It Making Us So Nervous？
D.ChatGPT Can Influence Human Moral Judgments

If you travel to nearly any Chinese city in the summertime，you will see
people，mostly men wearing Tshirts，sitting out on the sidewalks on low chairs in
the shade，playing a game with large round disks of wood. 36 Xiangqi
dates back as early as the Warring States period.While experts have different opinions
as to who created Xiangqi and how it is linked to Western chess，there is no doubt
that by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a popular game in China. 37 And
in the 20th century both Sun Yatsen and Zhou Enlai were big fans of the game.
And， though it may look quite a bit different than Western chess，
Xiangqi is actually quite similar in what the pieces can do and how the game
is played.Like Western chess，the object of the game is to capture the other
player's “king”. 3 8
Unlike Western chess，instead of placing the pieces in squares，the pieces
are placed on the intersections of lines.Another big difference between Western
chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the
board，which the elephants cannot cross. 39 This space refers to an area in
China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a lifeordeath war.The war was so influential
that “the Chu River and the Han Boundary” has become a metaphor( 隐
喻)referring to any boundary between two opposing armies.When the Chinese people
today see this name on the board，the battle scenes come to their mind，as
though they are surrounded by thick smoke，able to hear the beating of war
drums. 4 0
A.Actually，in Xiangqi he is just a general.
B.During the Qing Dynasty its popularity grew.
C.It is called “the Chu River and the Han Boundary”.
D.The game is called Xiangqi，a game of ordinary people.
E.There are many differences between Xiangqi and Western chess.
F.An intense battle is about to take place on this small chessboard.
G.Several sayings related to Xiangqi are in common use in China today.

Maria and Peter lived in a coastal city.The greatest pleasure in summer for
them was to swim at their local beach after school.But one day they started to lose
their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters.More often than not，they would find
plastic bags thrown on the beach.Worse still，as they swam in the water，
some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when
they walked to the shore.
They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the
beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste.One weekend，Maria and Peter
brought a big bag to the beach and determined to clean it up.Sweat streamed down
from their forehead while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags.To their
disappointment，after a day's hard work，there were still many plastic bags
lying on the beach or floating in the water.Going home with aching legs and
arms，Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure.
That night over dinner with their parents，the pair ate silently.Noticing
their low spirits，Mother asked gently，“You two looked so down.What
happened ？ ” Exchanging glances with Peter ， Maria replied in a low
voice，“It's those annoying plastic bags.We tried to clean up but it was just
impossible.”Understanding the pair's disappointment，their father patted them
on the back and comforted，“Well，it's really hard for just two of you to fix
such a big problem.”“Just two of us.” complained Maria and Peter，looking at
each other.Suddenly，an idea flashed through their minds，their eyes shining
with excitement.“Yes，that's the point！ We should make more people aware of
the problem and encourage them to take action！” the pair said in chorus.
