A
The World’s Most Beautiful Places
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda
Dense, lush and otherworldly, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is one of the last habitats of the mountain gorilla. Several hundred call this UNESCO-protected national park home, with the chance for visitors to trek to and meet habituated groups. Its biodiversity extends far beyond its most famous inhabitants, however, almost 350 bird species and around 220 butterfly species can be found within its 331-square-kilometer expanse.
Samburu, Kenya
Thanks to its relative inaccessibility in the heart of Kenya, Samburu is a shelter for some of Africa's most attractive wildlife. The grassland and acacia(金合欢树)-dotted landscapes of its national reserve are home to the endangered reticulated(网状的) giraffe and Grevy's zebra, as well as the pioneering Elephant Watch Camp.
Mount Toubkal, Morocco
At 4,167 meters(13,671 feet),Mount Toubkal lays claim to the title of "the roof of North Africa.”The path to its summit zigzags across empty valleys, past holy lands and up steep snowfields before emerging onto a ridge that falls away to give climbers matchless views across the Atlas Mountains.
Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, China
China’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan Province is known for its towering sandstone pillars.
Best explored on foot, its back trails make for an easy way to escape the crowds and find the best views. As the mists descend, it's easy to see why this area has long been an inspiration for traditional Chinese paintings.
What do we know about Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
A. It is the last habitat of the mountain gorilla.
B. Almost 350 birds can be found there.
C. There are exactly 220 butterfly species there.
D. We can find a diversity of species in it.
22. Why is Sambura home to some of most appealing wildlife according to the passage
A. It has acacia-dotted landscapes.
B. There is a vast grassland there.
C. The weather there is fit for wildlife.
D. It is difficult for people to go there.
23. What do Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Zhangjiajie National Forest Park have in common
A. They are both under the protection of UNESCO.
B. They are both known for its towering sandstone pillars.
C. They both have diverse species.
D. They both have empty valleys.
B
When the pandemic hit, I told my editors I'd go wherever they needed me--Italy, China, New York, any of the hot spots. Their response was, essentially, Easy, tiger. It's not going to work like that anymore. Nobody was going anywhere. So I had to figure out what to do to contribute responsibly to a story that has affected everybody in the world. I soon realized it meant working in my own backyard, which for me means the Midwest. I started driving all over, sleep some nights in my truck. I was looking for what the virus meant to people in “flyover country”, a part of county that is often ignored.
I had to change the way I work. How do you photograph people from a distance How do you enter people's intimate spaces responsibly
I began using a drone. I would call out to people and say, Hey, do you mind if I use my coronavirus social-distance flying camera to take your picture Being Midwesterners, the response was usually, Do what you got to do. The drone, which I flew relatively low to the ground, allowed me to take pictures from a distance. But it also amplified the dystopian(反乌托邦), surreal mood that we're all grappling with now.
After I took photos, I'd leave a note with my contact information on the person's car, on the front step or in the mailbox. I'd say, contact me if you want to tell me more about what's going on in your life, and I'll send you a picture. I was moved by the responses I received, long emails from people who wanted to have their story told or just needed someone to talk to. I saw two people chatting in a front yard, one sitting on the steps, the other in a chair six feet away. It looked like an ordinary thing, but then I received emails from them. One worked in an ICU; they'd been close friends their whole lives, and now they were both really struggling.
Everybody's got an important story to tell. To meet people and photograph them, I decided for myself that I was an essential worker. I felt so grateful that I had photography, because I could be out in the world, I could see things for myself. I had a sense of purpose.
24. Which of the following best explains “ Easy ,tiger.” underlined in paragraph 1
A. Talk to people. B. Go to the zoo.
C. Calm down. D. Give up your job.
25. What’s the attitude of Midwesterners towards being taken by a drone
A. Anxious. B. Embarrassed. C. Sensitive. D. Approving.
26. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us
A. Photos and stories help to reveal the truth of life.
B. People wrote notes to the writer.
C. The two people in a picture were talking happily.
D. The need to communicate is a key characteristic of human society.
27. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. People desired to talk with each other.
B. Photography is an aid to understanding the world.
C. The writer took photos with a drone.
D. A drone plays a vital role in aerial photography.
C
I grew up in the Great Lakes State, and for many years now, during my annual summer, visit back to Michigan, I'm always happy about what I don't see. I don't see crowds of Californians rushing lovely lakeside towns like Petoskey or Glen Arbor. I don't see hundreds of New Yorkers playing about Lake Michigan or coming down the steep white sands of Sleeping Bear Dunes.
No offense to the masses on both coasts, but I've always been glad the original charms of northwest Michigan felt like my secret-or at least a secret held by a smaller group of people, largely from the Midwest.
Lately, however, I've been thinking about the downside of being out of sight and out of mind.
Most people seldom think about Lakes Michigan, Huron, Superior, Erie, and Ontario. Many can't even name all five. But they should care about them because, as Tim Folger writes in this month's cover story, the Great Lakes are “arguably the continent's most precious resource, unmeasurably more valuable than oil, gas, or coal.”
Together the lakes hold more than 20 percent of the surface freshwater on Earth and 84 percent of the surface freshwater in North America. Almost 40 million Americans and Canadians “drink from the lakes, fish on them, transport goods over them, farm their shores, and work in cities that wouldn't exist” without them, Folger writes.
And yet we abuse them terribly: polluting them, introducing invasive species, allowing fertilizer runoff(径流) to create algal(藻类) blooms large enough that they can be seen from space. Climate change means the lakes don't freeze as much as they used to, and severe storms have become more frequent.
So read Folger's story. Appreciate the beauty of the landscape in the amazing photos by Keith Ladzinski. Become an advocate to protect our Great Lakes.
28.What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A. The Great Lakes State is crowded.
B. Fewer visitors are favourable there in summer.
C. The writer hopes to play about Lake Michigan.
D. The writer likes the warm atmosphere.
29.What does Tim Folger think of the Great Lakes
A. They are as important as oil.
B. They are infinitely superior to oil, gas or coal.
C. All Americans and Canadians depend on them to live.
D. They are the most important resource in the world.
30. Which of the following is the current situation of the Great Lakes
A. The lakes hold 20 percent of the surface freshwater on Earth.
B. They don't freeze at all because of climate changes.
C. Algal blooms are invisible from space.
D. People don’t treat them well.
31.What is the purpose of the passage
A. To recommend Folger's book.
B. To attract more visitors to the Great Lakes.
C. To call on people to save the Great Lakes.
D. To tell people how to save the continent.
D
Ask the new artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT to write an essay about the cause of the American Civil War and you can watch it write a persuasive term paper in a matter of seconds. That’s one reason why New York City school officials this week started blocking the impressive but controversial writing tool that can generate paragraphs of human-like text.
The decision by the largest U.S. school district to restrict the ChatGPT website on school devices and networks could have chain reaction on other schools, and teachers rushing to figure out how to prevent cheating. The creators of ChatGPT say they’re also looking for ways to detect misuse.
ChatGPT launched on Nov. 30 is developed by OpenAI, which has a close relationship with Microsoft. It’s part of a new generation of AI systems that can converse, generate readable text on demand and even produce novel images and video based on what they’ve learned from a vast database of digital books, online writings and other media.
The ChatGPT tool is available for free to anyone with an internet connection and designed to be more user-friendly. It works like a written dialogue between the AI system and the person asking it questions.
Millions of people have played with it over the past month, using it to write silly poems or songs, to try to trick it into making mistakes, or for more practical purposes such as helping compose an email. All of those things are also helping it get smarter.
“To determine if something was written by a human or an AI, you can look for the absence of personal experiences or emotions, check for inconsistency in writing style, and watch for the use of filler words or repetitive phrases. These may be signs that the text was generated by an AI.” That’s what ChatGPT told an AP reporter when asked how to tell the difference.
“We don’t want ChatGPT to be used for misleading purposes in schools or anywhere else, so we’re already developing measures to help anyone identify text generated by that system,” the company said.
32. Why does the New York school say no to ChatGPT
A. It can write a convincing term paper quickly.
B. Many students use it to write term papers.
C. It has chain reaction on other schools.
D. It is raising tough questions about education.
33. How does ChatGPT get smarter
A. By making mistakes.
B. By interacting with humans.
C. By writing e-mails on its own.
D. By using advanced technologies.
34. What is ChatGPT unable to do
A. Generate readable text on demand.
B. Talk with people.
C. Write in consistent writing style.
D. Use filler words to write.
35. Which is the most suitable title for this text
A. ChatGPT: A writing tool being restricted in school.
B. ChatGPT: A misused writing tool being welcome everywhere .
C. ChatGPT: An impressive and universal writing tool.
D. ChatGPT: A generative and perfectly logical writing tool.

NEED A GOOD ADVENTURE
Adventures expands our world by allowing us to engage with our self and others in a new way. Ready for your adventure Here's some advice.
Start small.
Pick a manageable activity you can do soon—this weekend!—close to home . 36 .
Taking gradual steps teaches your brain that experience is not as bad as you expected and you can handle it.
37 .
Research from Harvard University shows that people who interpreted their nervousness about activities such as karaoke singing and public speaking as excitement enjoyed the experiences more and performed better than those who tried to press down their anxiety. This changed their threat mindset into an opportunity mindset.
Use your imagination.
38 . Say you want to go on a hike but are worried you’ll become lost, hurt or too exhausted to get home. Try to picture this. Next, visualize the best-case scene: the beautiful view, the fun you’ll have, your sense of accomplishment afterward. This exercise helps put fear in perspective.
Write yourself a letter.
Think of it as a uplift talk. Start by addressing your fear. “I know you’re nervous. This is
normal because you’re leaving your comfort zone.” 39 . The point is to ensure your feelings and remind yourself that, even though you feel nervous, you can handle this.
Relax about the outcome.
If you could do this whole thing perfectly, it would not be the adventure you’re looking for. Remember: Whatever happens, it should make a good story. Imagining how fun it will be to tell your friends about your adventurous story later will help you stop complaining now. 40 .
A. Picture the worst-case scene.
B. Arouse your anxiety.
C. This will break your inactivity and help you build up to bigger adventures.
D. Shift how you view anxiety.
E. And you’ll feel connected to others.
F. This can boost your mood and change your thinking by making you feel more stressed.
G. Then write about the skills you have and the past experiences that went well.

Jenny was a fifth grader. She was considered one of the most popular girls in her class. She was very pretty, but that was not why she was considered popular. She was popular because she was known to be among the brightest in her class. She could do the most cartwheels in a row, but mostly, she had the talent to dance.
In February, she entered the school's dance competition and won the first place. Her whole class was there to support her. Since that day, she had been the class attraction. In December, the school was holding another dance competition, but there had been a change in the competition. The competition had to be done in pairs.
Jenny's class was looking up to her with high expectations of her winning again this year. On the other hand, Jenny was unsure of this competition outcome. She wanted to enter the competition, but she had never danced with a partner before. She decided to ask some of the boys in her class to enter with her. They all said no to her because they did not know how to dance. Jenny was becoming hesitant about joining.
She finally decided to turn to one of her closest friends, Carl. Jenny and Carl had known each other since the first grade. Carl was unwilling to join at first because he also didn't know how to dance. Jenny insisted. He eventually agreed to join the competition. Jenny was happy and relieved. However, she was still worried because she knew her class was counting on her to win this year's competition.
All she needed was some time and practice in order to increase her chances of winning. This time, it was going to be more of a challenge considering the fact that Carl was not a good dancer. The competition was in two months, and only time could predict her chances of winning.
After selecting Carl as her partner, Jenny needed to start planning for the dance competition at her school.
                                      
                                      
                                      
                                      
Jenny and Carl went up to the stage and were ready to perform.

As scheduled, students gathered at the school hall at 2 p.m. on Tuesday. After the hosts introduced the topic ,15 students delivered their speeches in turn. They were excellent in both the language and the outline besides their perfect gestures and facial expressions.
Not only did the activity improve our English ability, but it also provided a great chance for us to show ourselves.

After selecting Carl as her partner, Jenny needed to start planning for the dance competition at her school. Having chosen the song most beautiful for them, they began to learn dancing. Lacking relevant skills, Carl found it challenging. However, it didn't discourage him. For the duration of practising, Jenny always taught him patiently and encouraged him consistently. In an effort to gain the first place, they were absorbed in dance training, sometimes even skipping meals. How time flew! Two months slipped away, and the competition was arriving. It was the long before their turn.
Jenny and Carl went up to the stage and were ready to perform.Upon hearing the music, nervous and excited,they took a deep breath and started dancing, wearing sweet smiles on their faces. In the end, they completed the performance fluently and perfectly. The moment they finished dancing, applauses filled the hall. What surprised them was that they were champions. No words were enough to convey the delight. All pictures of previous practice flashed across them. It was their hard work and perseverance that helped them succeed.岳阳市2023年高中教学质量监测试卷

W: I think Andy should come with us. He keeps talking about Egypt.
M: Yeah, he should say all these works. He is so interested in Egyptian history and art and looking forward to coming to the museum.
W: What a pity. What will we do then
M: After this,we will have some coffee upstairs and then go to watch the short movie about Egypt.
W: Sure. Maybe you should call Andy now to make sure he’s had lunch.
M: Don't worry—our neighbor Julian is with him. It’s two o'clock. I told her to give Andy lunch at 1:00, then let him watch TV for half an hour. He gets sleepy after that.
W: Nice! In return, do you think we should invite Julian for a picnic tomorrow
M: But I've promised Andy to take him to the beach. We can ask her to go with us if she'd like.

W: Did you know that scientists can tell what Earth's air was like by looking at old rocks
M: How do they do that Are the colors of the rocks different when you break them open Isn't that hard with big rocks
W: Not really. The method is based on finding different chemicals. Each rock has many levels and you can even tell how old a rock is this way.
M: That's very cool. Do you think scientists could do this on other planets like Venus or Jupiter(木星)?
W: We've already done it on the moon. Most recently, samples from Mars have even been analyzed.We can tell many things about their surfaces now.

W: Are you going somewhere
M: What Oh, these I'm making plans for our next holiday.
W: Oh, yes.
M: I like to be ready, you know. For example, we're going to drive from Paris to Toulouse. There's a good road through Orleans and Limoges, and perhaps it's quicker to go that way. But sometimes it's better to choose a longer route. You will see more, and there's less traffic. It's easier to drive.
W: How do you know which road is the best
M: The guidebook. It tells me everything. Look-there's a good restaurant in Bourges, and that's where we stop for lunch. Then in the evening, we will stop there and stay at that hotel. In the morning, before we leave, we will see the castle. I write them all down, you see, one page for every day. It all goes in here. I couldn't go on holiday without that.
W: Wow, you are really organized!
M: Always make plans. That’s the way. Always know what you’re going to do, and when you’re going to do it .

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today, I am glad to introduce our life in space station. Our days are controlled by "Universal Time." We start at six o'clock each morning and our day ends at twenty-one-thirty hours. Sometimes we have to change our workday because of a coming event such as the shuttle or a Soyuz spacecraft linking with our space station. Each day we get several messages that we need to read that are part of a daily work plan. We read these messages and print them with the aid of small computers. We read our mail, wash, eat breakfast, read the plan of our work day. We also have a morning conference with our teams on the ground at Mission Control in Houston, the Operations Control Center, in Huntsville, and Russian Mission Control, in Moscow. Each control center prepares questions for us about our work or sends us new tasks. Our daily work includes safety inspections of all of our equipment, taking pictures inside and outside. We work on science experiments, and inspect and repair any equipment that needs work. We also have about two and one-half hours of physical exercise every day. We usually have our last meal of the day about seventeen hours-thirty.
