Going Green
Four students are sharing their experience about living a greener life on the school board. Their schoolmates
can read the passages and get some advice for their own lives.
A
In my free time, I use old clothes that our family don’t wear anymore to make other useful things. It’s
meaningful and environment-friendly. I usually use old jeans to make handbags with different designs. They
look very cute. When I go shopping, I often take them instead of the plastic ones. I’d like to share different ways
to use old clothes and bring them back to fashion again.
B
In our daily life, there are some good ways to save water. We can begin with small things. While I brush my
teeth, I usually turn off the tap to use less water. Taking short showers also helps to save water. In my family, we
watch less TV and use low energy light bulbs. I usually shut off all the lights before I leave home. I think it’s the
best way to save electricity at home.
C
Nowadays, everyone is encouraged to take a bus or the subway to travel around the city. I usually go to school
by bike. I can take some exercise and breathe the fresh air on the way to school. I seldom let my parents drive
me to school. If I travel on a holiday, I’ll choose the green travel properly. In this way, I can help to improve the
environment and the traffic condition.
D
It’s very important to sort and put the waste into different bins. In my daily life, I do a lot for waste sorting. I
learn how to sort the waste online. Then, I sort the waste by preparing some bins in different colors at home.

A Truly Fresh Start
I’m Benjamin and I hate moving! Everything was packed up and moved to a new home. Mom introduced me
to our new neighbors, the Zatos. They said it was a fresh start, but it seemed broken to me.
,
The next day I stayed alone while Mom was working in the next room. I felt hungry, so I opened the
packed boxes to find a clean plate. Something that I picked up suddenly slipped away from my fingers. With a loud
crash, I saw shards(陶瓷碎片) flying everywhere on the floor.
“Benjamin! What just broke?” Mom cried from the doorway. Then, I realized that I broke Grandma’s bowl
which was put out only during special time like Christmas. “Why couldn’t you have waited for me to
unpack?”Mom shouted. I said sorry but got no answer. I tried to match the pieces, but it didn’t work.
,
After a while Mom said, “I’m sorry. Please just throw them out. We can’t make a fresh start with broken
things.”
I took the broken bowl out and met Mr. Zato. “Are you sure you want to throw it out?”he asked.
“It’s broken,” I said, “This was all my fault(过错).”
“Benjamin, that isn’t anyone’s fault. Besides, this is a simple repair.
Come. I’ll show you,” said Mr. Zato.
Mr. Zato spread the broken pieces out on the desk. He turned the pieces to find each match. After that, he filled
in the crack(裂纹) lines with shining gold powder and paint. When he finished, the bowl looked completely
different. I could hardly see where it was broken and it became so nice to look at.
“This bowl has been broken, repaired, and is stronger now,” said Mr. Zato.
When I came home, I showed Mom the bowl. She held it in her hands and said excitedly, “It’s so beautiful
because the bowl is just like our new home and it is new and stronger now.”
24. Benjamin felt very ________ about the bowl he broke in his new home.
A. unlucky B. sorry C. unfair D. curious

Attitude towards ChatGPT’s Development
ChatGPT has become one of the hottest topics in technology these days. As the new-generation talking AI, it is
so good at giving out answers that people are using it to write papers, pass exams and correct computer codes( 代
码 ), all of which it can do within seconds. Some have even asked the chatgpt for psychological counselling ( 心
理 咨 询 ) or to create personalized weight-loss plans. What will the widespread use of similar AI tools mean for
humans, and could they replace us?
Having used ChatGPT and other GPT-based artificial intelligence programs in every field, we have found they
have several advantages over us humans. Most notably with speed, ChatGPT can rapidly look through the whole
internet-based database(数据库). It can then form sentences and summarize information almost as well as humans,
and improve itself through deep learning.
But there is one aspect in which ChatGPT, and indeed all the AIs, could never catch up with humans. The
pursuit( 追求 ) of happiness is what basically distinguishes humans from AIs. That might sound grandiose, but
that happens in both daily life and over the course of human history. For example, as individuals, we work hard so
as to earn money for a bigger apartment or a new car, for the purpose of improving our living standards. It is similar
for human society as a whole. People grew tired of walking on foot, so means of transport were developed using
wheels, carts and carriages, then trains and cars. People dreamed of flying in the sky and to the moon, so planes and
spacecrafts were invented.
In a sense, it is people’s wishing for a life better than the present that pushes human history forward. That
applies( 适 用 ) to the development of AI. But ChatGPT, or any AI, is basically only a pile of code, written as a
means to solve problems. To solve problems is the only reason for AI to exist. But they cannot raise problems to
solve, which made it impossible to improve independently. AI has been created as a tool to provide service to make
people’s lives better, as part of the whole efforts of improving lives.
That’s one reason why there is no need, at least at present, to worry about AIs replacing humans.
第5页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司27. According to the passage, the new generation of AI is able to ________.
A. make sentences and express different emotions as humans
B. make self-development plans to enjoy happiness in its life
.
C raise problems on its own and solve them in a few seconds
D. provide plenty of service to meet the needs of our humans
28. The word “distinguishes” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A. protects B. prevents C. recognizes D. challenges
29. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A. The technology of AI has kept on pushing our human history forward.
B. AI has made great progress in building its powerful database by itself.
C. Humans have created AI as a tool to make their lives better and better.
D. AI has more opportunities to grow up without any help from humans.
D
Today, there are many ads on social media and most ads are impossible to avoid, especially when people
follow some famous influencers. The influencers are Internet celebrities(名人) with lots of social media followers,
and their posts can influence lots of people. The new data from a research made by a teen researcher shows that
these influencers promote(推销) more unhealthy foods and drinks than other celebrities.
The new findings come from Nyasha Nyoni, 17. Nyasha is an athlete who likes cooking in the kitchen. Being
healthy is important to her. She used to look at food and drink ads on mainstream ( 主 流 ) media. “I thought it
would be interesting to look at social media,” Nyasha says, “because it’s a newer technology and it is growing so
quickly.” Social-media platforms are often paid to promote foods and drinks. Nyasha wondered how healthy those
products were, so she chose to make a research about it.
First, Nyasha needed a list of Internet celebrities’accounts(账号). She picked 100 athletes from a Forbes list of
the world’s highest-paid athletes. Her list of 100 musicians came from Billboard’s hot 100 songs. And she picked
100 biggest influencers on social media. Nyasha looked through their posts about promoting foods and drinks in
2019 and 2020. It turns out that the influencers promoted more snack products than other groups. Snacks were the
unhealthiest food on social media.
Nyasha was surprised by the result of her research. It didn’t match up with her experience or other studies.
She’d expected influencers to promote more diet-related products. However, snacks were the most popular type of
products by all three groups. Fruits, vegetables and water were least promoted.
“These findings could encourage new social media rules to protect young users from unhealthy ads,” Nyasha
says, “Nearly four out of every ten social media users are between the ages of 13 to 24. Influencers’ ads may be
第6页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司especially alluring(有吸引力的),” she says, “The influencers may be seen as more relatable than mainstream
celebrities. As a result, young users may have fewer doubts about the products they promote”.
This study has changed the way Nyasha sees her own social media. She has unfollowed some people who
pushed unhealthy habits. She honestly thinks everyone should do that. Young users should get to construct(建构)
their own social-media feeds to make that online space as healthy and positive as possible.
30. Nyasha Nyoni did the new research in order to find out ________.
A. what the most popular ads were among young users on the social media
B. how healthy the online foods and drinks promoted by influencers were
C. which kind of foods and drinks was the best-seller on mainstream media
D. why Internet celebrities promoted foods and drinks on the social media
31. According to the passage, Nyasha suggested that ________.
A. influencers should not be paid to promote any kind of products online
B. elderly people must stop eating unhealthy food from the social media
C. a new law would be made to protect influencers from their followers
D. young users should keep away from the unhealthy social-media feeds
32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Nyasha was surprised that snacks were mostly promoted by three groups.
B. Influencers were eager to promote more diet-related products than others.
C. Nyasha has followed the posts of the celebrities for more than four years.
D. Mainstream celebrities were likely to be more attractive to the young users.
33. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To warn influencers not to post unhealthy ads on social media any more.
B. To point out the bad effects of following influencers on the social media.
C. To encourage young users to buy foods and drinks in mainstream media.
D. To show some differences between social media and the mainstream ones.

Object-based Learning
The standard school field trip often includes an outing to a museum, but a new resource provides guidance on
how to bring a museum into the classroom. As part of the Mobile Museum Project, the Royal Holloway, University
of London, and the Kew Royal Botanic Gardens teamed up to help create school museums. The project, which can
第7页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司be used for any age group, turns the traditional understanding of a museum on its head. The primary aim of object-
based learning should be to learn from rather than about objects.
Asking questions such as, “What do you want people to learn and why?” and “Who are you hoping to attract
and why?”helps students make clear the purpose of the collection of their objects. Collecting the objects for the
museum is a learning process in and of itself. Culturally significant objects, such as an old thing passed down
through a family or a thing from a student’s home country, can help students build a sense of historical
understanding and empathy. Such a process can encourage students to think independently and critically, so this can
make their mind quicker and sharper.
When the students are gathered, they can practise thematic grouping by sorting the things into different
categories(类别) before organizing the collection for final display. Students might be asked to create an explanatory
PPT to show the relationship among the things. For example, a display description might try to discover the
evolution( 演 变 ) of an object: wheat seeds to wheat seedings, to flour, and to flour products. Designing and
writing labels(标签)provide the way to get storytelling into the learning process.
The museum project is a broad framework that can be used to integrate( 融 合 ) different subjects. At the end
of the project, students must be sure to collect advice, even criticism from each other. They can work together to
explore what worked and what didn’t work and what might be done differently next time. This gives students an
opportunity to critically assess(评估)their own work.
34. Where is the museum created in the project?
___________________________________________
35. What do the students firstly need to do for the museum?
___________________________________________
36. How can the students get story-telling into the learning process?

37. What do you think of the object-based learning? Why?(At least two reasons)
