wooden huts, open air markets and cooking outside over a fire. Price for a horse ride is

Washington is home to lots of trees and lots of wood-burning stoves(火炉) too. But
what if you live there and can't cut wood or can't afford to pay anyone to do it? Luckily,
Shane McDaniel and his twin sons, Harrison and Henry McDaniel, 21, are happy to lend
an ax(斧子).The three men cut truckloads of wood and then give the wood to those in
need.
The idea was put forward by Shane as a father-son bonding project. He wanted to
pass along the feeling his father Jackson and he shared while they cut wood, so he and
the twins spent the summer doing their deeds. The result was a great wall of wood piled
up around their house in Lake Stevens, about 35 miles outside of Seattle. To buy that
much would cost about $ 10,000.
It was too much for the McDaniels to use themselves, and when the weather turned
cold that November, Shane started thinking of others. He posted a request on a social
networkling site:”IF
YOU ARE IN NEED OF FIREWOOD AND CANNOT AFFORD IT, PLEASE PM
[ personal message ] ME…Please help me and my boys make sure NO ONE GOES
COLD IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD．"
The response was immediate. One man offered to donate a wood-burning stove.
Others raced over with more wood for the pile. Single dad Peter Ticer, 29, and his four-
year-old daughter depend on a wood-burning stove as their unique source of heat. so it
was a relief to receive a truckload of firewood from the McDaniels before the
holidays.”To get that much wood moved me to tears" he said.“So much stress and
anxiety off my shoulders. I couldn't be more thankful."
Giving is the reward. It has nothing to do with how well its received; it's about how
much it's needed.
24. Which of the following best describes the McDaniels?
A．Energetic. B．Hard-working. C．Considerate. D．Mean.
25. What does”father-son" in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Shane and Harrison. B．Jackson and Shane.
C．Harrison and Henry. D．Shane and the twins.
26. Why did Shane post the message on the Internet?
A．To advertise the wood they cut. B．To help those in need.
C．To get wood-burning stoves. D．To ask for others' help.27. What is the main idea of the text?
A．A family's firewood warms their neighborhood.
B．Cutting down trees teaches a family life lessons.
C．No one goes cold in the McDaniels' community.
D．Giving is a tradition of cheering up those in need.
C
Kids are three times more likely to choose to be Internet celebrities than astronauts, a
survey found recently. Many are already on their way --- more and more children are now
making and sharing videos on social media.
Meanwhile, education experts worry that going after Internet fame won’t be good for
children in the long run. Their biggest concern is that kids don’t know how being on the
Internet today might affect them in the future. The parts of the brain that people use to make
decisions don’t fully mature until around age 25, so children cannot imagine how their future
might be affected by what they share now.
What’s worse, some parents, who are crazy about becoming famous on their own, can’t
watch out for the best interests of their own children. A young mother, Michelle Hobson, was
accused of starving and kicking her children when they didn’t do what she wished for in the
videos. She was charged with child abuse and ordered to distance herself from kids.
Keeping famous on the Internet takes much time and patience, too. It can distract students
away from homework, sports and other activities. For example, one of the superstars, 14-year-
old Emma Garza, dropped out of school to become a Vlogger (video blogger). She said that
making videos was so tough that she couldn’t make time for study and even suffered back pain
and weakening eyesight.
Although we don’t yet know the effects on a child’s development by constantly performing
to entertain others, we can easily imagine that the effort to attract viewers will be less helpful
to a kid, compared with spending that time reading a book. For a kid today, becoming an
Internet superstar might not only be more popular than being an astronaut. It might also be
more dangerous.
28. What problem is discussed in Paragraph 1?
A. Internet affects kids’ growth. B. Young kids seek Internet fame.
C. Social media mislead children. D. Children watch too many videos.
29. What is the major concern of education experts about children?
A. Future. B. Family. C. Study. D. Security
30. Why is Emma Garza mentioned in the passage?
A. To highlight her success. B. To introduce a new career.
C. To show the impact on students. D. To encourage kids to be Vloggers.
31. What does the author think of children’s being an Internet celebrity?A. Exciting. B. Doubtful. C. Beneficial. D. Negative.

ChatGPT, a new chatbot model developed by US-based AI research laboratory OpenAI, has
quickly become a hit globally due to its advanced conversational capabilities,It can write
emails, computer codes, even academic papers and poems, and has passed a number of tests
within seconds. Academicians worldwide are discussing whether AI should be used in
education. Some universities have banned it. The New York City’s Department of Education,
for example, banned the chatbot from its public school devices and networks, with some
people warning that it could encourage more students to cheat, especially in exams.
Many more welcome this app,claiming that, like most technological advances and
groundbreaking innovations in history, ChatGPT is a powerful tool for the development of
higher education.
Embracing AI as early as possible is advisable. Higher education institutions should make
preparations for including AI in their syllabus (教学大纲). They can start by offering related
courses, because by understanding how it works, they can make better use of it. Besides,
students with good knowledge of AI are more competitive when it comes to getting a good job,
as an increasing number of jobs are being done by computer programes-some in cooperation
with humans, AI-powered education technologies can be adopted to make the learning
experience more suitable for each student based on his or her strengths and weaknesses. As for
professors, AI can free them from doing some dull tasks so they can concentrate on teaching
and interacting with students.
Since we cannot avoid ChatGPT and other AI-powered applications from entering the field
of higher education, we should make collective efforts to ensure they have a positive impact on
society and the future of education .Despite AI helping make learning much more interesting
and enjoyable, humans need to work very hard to win the race with technology.
32. Why do some higher education institutions forbid ChatGPT?
A. ChatGPT can write emails and computer codes quickly.
B. Some professors might not perform their duties properly.
C. Students would have conversations with each other via it.
D. Students might seek help from it in completing the exams.
33. What is the author’s attitude towards AI applications in education?
A. Fearful. B. Disapproving. C. Supportive. D. Uncertain.
34.How can AI benefit students of higher education?
A. It offers students an increasing number of jobs.
B. It personalizes students’ learning experience.
C. It equips students with competitive skills to cooperate with humans.
D. It handles uninteresting tasks so students can better focus on learning.35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.We should guard against AI apps.
B.AI will be more widely used in education.
C.The future of education relies on AI apps.
D. Humans will be left behind by technology.
第二节（共 5 小题：每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为
多余选项。
Having good communication skills is important. They can help you with
presentations in class, during job interviews, when handling arguments, and in a variety
of other situations. 36
Make eye contact. Whether you are speaking or listening, looking into the eyes of
the person with whom you are conversing can make the interaction more successful.
One technique to help with this is to consciously look into one of the listener’s eyes and
then move to the other eye. Going back and forth between the two makes your eyes
appear to sparkle. 37 It is a line across the eye brows and the vertical( 垂 直
的)line comes down the center of the nose. Keep your eyes scanning that zone.
Be aware of what your body is saying. Body language can say so much more
than a mouthful of words. An open opinion with arms relaxed at your sides tells anyone
around you that you are approachable and open to hearing what they have to say. 38
Often, communication can be stopped before it starts by body language that tells people
you don’t want to talk.
39 Not only should one be able to speak effectively, one must listen to the
other person’s words and engage in communication on what the other person is speaking
about. Avoid the impulse to listen only for the end of their sentence so that you can blurt
out the ideas or memories in your mind while the other person is speaking.
Slow your speech down. People will perceive you as nervous and unsure of
yourself if you talk fast. 40 Practice this and, after a period of time, your speed
will begin to lower. However, be careful not to slow down to the point where people
begin to finish your sentences just to help you finish.
A. Develop effective listening skills.
B. Form the habit of speaking effectively
C. Begin doing exercises to lower your speech.
D. Here’s what you can do to change the situation. E．
Fortunately, there are some ways to improve your skills. F．
However, crossed ones suggest disinterest in conversation.
G．Another trick is to imagine a letter “T” on the listener’s face.

Good Neighbours
After school one winter day, Jack asked his mother to allow him to go out and play in thesnow. “Sure, you can. Remember to put on your coat and your hat and your gloves,” his
mother said. “You can build a snowman before your father comes home.”
“I’m going to need a carrot for the nose,” Jack said. “And I’ll need some things for the
snowman’s hat and face.” Jack got a bucket and collected everything he needed to decorate his
snowman. His mother promised she would watch him build the snowman from the window.
Outside, in his front yard, Jack started with a very small ball of snow. He got on his knees
and rolled the snow into a big ball. At another window, someone else was watching Jack play.
It was his new neighbour Naoko. Naoko asked her mother if she could go outside and join Jack
in building his snowman. Naoko’s mother agreed and promised to watch her from the window.
“You can play until your father comes home,” her mother said.
Naoko ran outside to Jack’s yard and asked if she could help him finish his snowman.
“Yes, please help me,” Jack said. “I have built my snowman’s body with two snowballs. I
need to roll one more for my snowman’s head.”
“But snowmen only have two snowballs. One is for the body and one is for the head,”
Naoko said.
“No, snowmen always have three snowballs,” Jack said. “I don’t think I need you to help
me after all.”
Jack picked up some snow and made it into a small snowball. He got on his knees and
rolled the snow away from Naoko to make the snowman’s head. Naoko walked back into her
own yard and began to build her own snowman.
Jack made a hat for his snowman with his bucket (桶). He used his mother’s sewing (缝)
buttons for the eyes and mouth. Lastly, he added a carrot for the snowman’s nose. Seeing his
snowman, Jack was happy when suddenly a terrible thing happened. The head fell off the
snowman and crashed to the ground! “Oh, no! My snowman fell apart,” Jack said, “and my
father is almost home!”
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Naoko heard Jack’s cry and ran over to his yard to see what the problem was.
“You’re welcome. I like your snowman better,” Naoko said. “Mine doesn’t have a nose.”
