Four Underground Attractions
Under
Under, a restaurant, is five and a half metres below the surface. Diners eat their meals as icy North Sea currents swirl(旋动) outside the windows. Despite the storminess of the surrounding seas, there’s stillness in Under.
Kristiansand, Norway|| https://live.under.no/
Derinkuyu Underground City
The underground city dates back thousands of years. It’s the largest of its kind in the region, with winding passages over eight levels, reaching a depth of around 85 metres. Living underground allowed its citizens to avoid extreme temperatures and more easily defend against enemies. Though no one lives there today, the site features the remains of schools and shops.
Cappadocia, Turkey|| uchisarcappadocia.rog
Ajanta Caves
Considering that they’re cut deep into a rock face, the 30 or so caves of Ajanta are surprisingly well lit. All that light makes it much easier to admire this remarkable series of Buddhist temples that date from the first and second centuries BC. They contain some of the finest surviving examples of ancient Indian wall painting.
Aurangabad, India|| ajanta-
Thrihnukagigur
Sometimes viewing a volcano from far away just isn’t enough. Some people need to go that step further and explore inside a volcano. It sounds crazy, but you can do exactly that at Thrihnukagigur. A lift takes visitors about 200 metres down into the volcano’s magma chamber(岩浆矿脉). Thrihnukagigur is a dormant(休眠的) volcano, but it still takes a lot of courage to get close to it.
Near Reykjavik, Iceland|| visitreykjavik.is/thrihnukagigur
21. What can we do in Under
A. Have dinner in revoving chairs. B. Dive to the depth of 55 metres.
C. See the undersea view through the windows D. Listen to the sound of the waves.
22. Why did the citizens of Derinkuyu live underground
A. To explore inside a dormant volcano. B. To protect themselves from the heat and enemies.
C. To make room for schools and shops. D. To protect ancient wall paintings.
23. Which place is most suitable for an adventure
A. Derinkuyu Underground City B. Ajanta Caves C. Thrihnukagigur D. Under

There’s a new AI bot: ChatGPT, and you’d better pay attention, even if you aren’t into artificial intelligence. The tool is an AI chatbot system that OpenAI released in November 2022 to show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can achieve.
ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models and is fine-tuned (a method of transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning (监督和强化学习).
You can ask ChatGPT anything, like explaining physics, asking for birthday party ideas and getting programming (编程) help. Perhaps it’s not smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative. A few days after its launch, more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.
ChatGPT is free to use at the moment because it is still in its research phase. But when too many people hop onto the server (服务器), it overloads and can’t process your request. It just means you should try visiting the site at a later time when fewer people are trying to access it. If you want to skip the wait and have reliable access, there is an option for you. As of Feb.1, 2023, OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users to have general access even during peak times. This service does come at a cost of $20 / month.’
However, ChatGPT can not replace Google. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence bot that provides solutions to your questions, but Google is a search engine in which you can search for as much information as possible. ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day.
24. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT
A. Its language model. B. Its working theory. C. Its design inspiration. D. Its development process.
25. Why does the author list figures in paragraph 3
A. To show the popularity of ChatGPT.
B. To stress the high cost of inventing ChatGPT.
C. To present the creativity of artificial intelligence.
D. To prove the necessity of developing tools for chatting online.
26. What is ChatGPT Plus intended for
A. Guiding users to experience free services.
B. Allowing net surfers to skip advertisements.
C. Helping researchers detect the failure of the system.
D. Offering consumers priority access during peak hours.
27. What is a limitation of ChatGPT compared with Google
A. It operates based on limited data.
B. It takes more time to search for solutions.
C. It can only update information at a fixed time.
D. It may provide replies unrelated to the questions.
C
Michelle Rasul, age 9, is one of the world’s top DJs—people who play recorded music on the radio or at celebrations or parties. She even competed in an international championship.
At her home in Dubai, the rising star from Azerbaijan describes how she got her start. “I looked at my dad while he was practicing DJ-ing, “Wow, is he doing magic or something He’s a real magician!”” Michelle said. “When I turned 5 on my birthday, I told him, “Dad, I want to be a world famous DJ. I’m going to start practicing.””
Michelle became the youngest competitor in the 2021 DMC World DJ Championship. She was placed 14th out of 85 DJ stars from around the world. Although she did not go to the next round, she was determined to defeat her father as a goal, Vagif “DJ Shock” Rasulov, in the next competition. Rasulov came in 9th place this time and taught Michelle how to DJ.
“She just catches things so fast,” said her mother Saida Rasulova, a former violinist. “I realized that she’s a star, and that she’s really talented.”
When her peers(同龄人) were listening to children’s music, Michelle said she listened to rap artists already. Her parents started putting her videos online, and Michelle’s popularity grew. She has around 110,000 followers on her social media.
While the rest of the world pays attention to her achievements as a DJ star, Michelle is busy attending online school, reading and hanging out with friends and dogs at her neighborhood park. Though not able to keep in touch with music as it was, her heart is always in DJ-ing. “I can’t imagine my life without music,” she said.
28. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. What a good DJ Michelle’s father was. B. How Michelle’s goal came into being.
C. How important the family background is. D. When Michelle began to learn music.
29. What is Michelle’s next aim in her career
A. To keep her own world record. B. To learn more skills from her father.
C. To defeat her father in the next contest. D. To be placed first in the championship.
30. What can we learn from the words of Michelle’s mother
A. She can’t catch Michelle. B. She was puzzled about Michelle’s choice.
C. She has low respect for Michelle’s talent. D. She gave high praise to Michelle.
31. What do we know about Michelle at present
A. She prefers the school life. B. She devotes herself to music.
C. She lives a normal life. D. She does her best to please her followers.
D
Brian Fischler is blind. He can tell whether it’s light or dark outside, but that’s about it.
“I grew up sighted like everybody, and I was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (视网膜色素变性) at 13,” Fischler says. “And for me, the lights went out about 2009.” Fischler, a New York-based stand-up comedian, has used the app Be My Eyes since it first came out eight years ago. It relies on sighted volunteers to do tasks like describing holiday cards sent in the mail, or telling you whether that can in your cupboard is coconut milk or chicken soup.
Hans Wiberg, a Danish furniture craftsman, created the app after he got tired of calling his friends and family to ask for help to identify things. He spent a couple of years developing it, and the app was launched in 2015.
But eight years later, there’s a twist. As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more accessible, app creators are experimenting with an AI version using tech as well as human volunteers. Be My Eyes CEO Mike Buckley says the argument for AI is that it can do things people cannot. Buckley says, “You can tap into the AI and say, ‘How do I connect to my Sony stereo ’ and furthermore, you can take a picture of your refrigerator and it not only tells you what all the ingredients are but it tells you what you can make for dinner.”
However, he insists that AI won’t completely replace the volunteers who make Be My Eyes so popular. “I hope it ends up being 50-50 because I do think that there is going to be a desire for continued human connection,” Buckley says, “There’s some volunteer feedback we’ve gotten, for example, when they actually get a call they talk about it as the best day of their week.”
32.What is the purpose of Paragraph 1
A.To bring in the topic. B. To give an example.
C.To introduce a blind man. D. To provide background information.
33. What can be inferred about Wiberg
A. He might come from America. B. He might be visually impaired.
C. He was born sighted like ordinary people. D. He was diagnosed with some deadly disease.
34. What does the underlined word “twist” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. A novel and expensive invention. B. An efficient and powerful replacement.
C. A superior and demanding application. D. An unexpected and significant development.
35. Where is the passage probably from
A. A science magazine. B. A diary. C. A travel website. D. A research paper.
七选五（每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
As people continue to use the Internet more, they share more information about themselves. It is important to protect yourself and stay safe online.
36 When searching for information online, you should check to make sure that you are accessing a trustworthy site. When you need that wireless (无线的)connection, always use private Wi-Fi. Installing (安装) antivirus software and enabling your firewall will add another layer of protection against hackers(黑客).
Besides, although our generation is often thought of as experienced in using social media, many people use the same password(密码)for their logins (登录). 37 Instead, you can create different passwords for each of your accounts. Using numbers and special characters (@. $ .* ) will make your passwords stronger.
38 By keeping your accounts private, you can see who is following you and has access to your posts. Don't accept requests from people you don't know. 39
While these tips can help you stay safe from getting hacked, you may still be hacked. 40 If you cannot get into your accounts, make sure you contact those companies as soon as possible. If your device(设备) has been hacked, it is best to completely remove your device storage. Stay safe!
A. First, you should keep your devices safe.
B. All things can cover the world in a moment.
C. It makes you wonder if they mean what they say.
D. Social media is also an easy place to learn more about you.
E. When this happens, it is important to change your passwords at once.
F. And make sure not to share sensitive information like your birthday or age.
G. This makes it easy for hackers to get your information with just one password.

Dear Bruce,
I was glad to know you began to study Chinese literature. Now let me tell you something about Luxun. Born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, Lu Xun with the real name Zhou Shuren abandoned the study of medicine and began to write. Not only was Lu Xun a well-Known Chinese writer, a thinker, but also the father of modern Chinese literature. His novels have been translated into many languages and some of novels have been made into films, such as The True Story of AHQ and The New Year's Sacrifice. Some of his novels have been collected in high school and college textbooks.
Since you are learning Chinese literatures, I think reading Lu Xun's novels will benefit a lot.

M: Well, I think one is just teaching. I love teaching. I just want to teach all the time. Even if I won the lottery, I would be a teacher. And another thing is jogging, even though most people are surprised because I’m a little fat. I’m about 20 pounds overweight, but I run almost every day. It’s the most relaxing thing for me.
Text 10 未来的房子
W: We won’t know what the future house will look like, but we can imagine three kinds of houses.
The first one is the tree house. Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity and even create fresh air for the home. The root of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil to control the home’s temperature.
The second one is the lizard home. Like a lizard, changing colors with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During the dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.
The last one is the chimney house. In such a house, a chimney can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney.
