Ever since I graduated from high school I've worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer. However, making the transformation between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be unacceptable, getting to a factory by 6 o'clock each morning is suffering. My friends never seem
to understand why I'm so glad to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything
but a vacation.
There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part(部件) backward or upside down.
The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear over night. Issues like being laid off(下岗) and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my
co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to
Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.
After working 12-hour shifts (轮班) in a factory, the other choices have become only too clear.
" This job pays well, but it's hell on the body, " said one co-worker. " Study hard and keep reading. " she added. When I'm back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale (陈腐的) now ring true.
My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.
What does the author think of his summer holiday？
It brought him nothing but suffering.
It was no holiday for him at all.
It was a relief from his tough work at school.
It offered him a chance to make more friends.
What can we infer about most college students？
They do better in the real world.
They think too highly of themselves.
They are expert at handling machines.
They are confident when they work.

We've all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.
What's the problem It's possible that we all don't have enough conversational ability. It's more
likely that none of us start a conversation because it's embarrassing and challenging, or we think it's annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it's a valuable social practice that leads to big benefits.
It is easy to consider small talk as unimportant, but we can't forget that deep relationships
wouldn't even exist if there weren't casual conversations. Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins
with small talk,” he explains. “The secret to successful small talk is learning how to connect with
others, not just communicate with them.”
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, professor of psychology at UBC, invited people to a coffee shop. One group was asked to interact (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported obviously higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It's not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network is important for our happiness and health.”
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a greater sense of belonging, a link
with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.
What does the underline word “casual” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Addictive B. Impressive C. Personal D. Informal
What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci
Showing good manners.
Making business deals
Focusing on a topic
Keeping in contact with other people.
What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk
It raises people's confidence.
It makes people feel good.

It improves family relationships.
It matters as much as a formal talk.
What is the best title for the text
A. Conversation Counts B. Ways of Making Small Talk
C. Importance of Small Talk D. Uncomfortable Silence

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 (主线;思路)of your dialogue, using previous questions and
answers to inform its next responses. It obtains its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAIGPT-3 family of large language models 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 help. Perhaps it's not smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative (权威的). 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, achieving 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 stage. But when too
many people visit the site, it overloads and can’t process your request. It just means you should try
it at a later time when fewer people are trying to access(访问) 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 cannot 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.
What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT
A. Its language model. B. Its design inspiration.
C. Its working theory. D. Its development process.
Why are the figures listed in paragraph 3
To stress the high cost of inventing ChatGPT.
To present the creativity of artificial intelligence.
To prove the necessity of developing ChatGPT.
To show the popularity of ChatGPT.
英语试卷 第 6 页 共 10 页
What is ChatGPT Plus intended to do
To charge users for extra functions.
To allow net surfers to skip advertisements.
To offer consumers easier access during peak hours.
To help researchers find the failure of the system.
What is the limitation of ChatGPT compared with Google
It operates based on limited data.
It updates information at a fixed time.
It takes more time to search for solutions.
It serves a certain number of customers at a time.
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的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It's a picture we often see. 36 He is trying not to fall asleep as his teacher drills(训练)
the class in the body structure of a man: the heart is here; the lungs are here… The teacher then gives the class a worksheet and asks them to answer questions like which body parts go where. At the end of the period, the only way to measure whether the students have learned anything is based on this worksheet and the unit test.
37 Primary school students walk into a classroom and see a basic skeleton(骨架) with
models of the heart, lungs, and the stomach lying on a table in the center of the room. Students gather around in a circle, see the model organs(器官), laugh, and begin to guess the name of each
body part and its function. Through trial and error, they figure out where each model organ fits in
the skeleton.
The differences between these two types of classes are obvious. One has students actively involved. The other relies on direct instruction, rote learning(死 记硬 背), and remembering
information for the test. One is memorable for students. 38 .Which lesson will leave a
lasting impression
39 Why Lessons should be based on students' psychological needs and help them
achieve learning outcomes. If an educator takes a child's development into consideration, he or she can prepare lessons that will not only engage the student but also leave a lasting impression.
Many famous educators like John Dewey have written about student-centered learning and they
think highly of it. But many teachers are still adopting a wait-and-see approach to it. 40
Now imagine another picture.
Classes should be made effective and meaningful.
The other relies on students memorizing information.
A primary school student sits at his desk and looks bored.
Classes that rely on student-centered learning are more effective.
Whatever the reasons are, educators are making efforts to make a change.
Students thus actively participate instead of passively receiving knowledge. 英语试卷 第 7 页 共 10 页

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I love parties. I love planning for them, making the invitations, planning the games and decorating my own cake. The only thing that I don't like is deciding on the guest list. When I was in grade school my mom would tell me the largest number of friends that I could invite and it was always a number too small for my list.
I also liked all different kinds of people. I never quite fit into one of the many little groups at
my school, so I just kind of floated around, making friends from various backgrounds. There was an
“in” crowd made up of the cool kids who had the power to rule the school--if a cool kid wore two different colored socks to school one day, everyone thought it was great. But if an uncool kid did the same thing, the other kids would turn away in disgust(厌恶). It made getting dressed in the morning a very painful thing.
Shannon was one of my friends who seemed to unknowingly break the rules of “uncoolness”
all the time. I don't know why she was targeted(针对), but people found it acceptable to make fun of her. Shannon was a nice girl and wore pretty clothes, but was somewhat overweight and didn't talk much. She was picked on(刁难) a lot. Whenever there was a strange noise or smell in the classroom the kids would giggle (咯咯笑) and point at her. Shannon never said anything, but it made me feel sick inside. Shannon was innocent(无辜), I thought.
One year, to celebrate my birthday, my mom told me I could have a party at our house. I
struggled for days deciding on which girls to invite. Once I had chosen all the names, I made the invitations and handed them out to my friends at school.
“Why did you invite her ” asked one of my cool friends when it was discovered that I had
invited Shannon. She pressured me to tell her not to come. There were other people I could add in her place who would be more acceptable.
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。

Dear Peter,
I'm glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well. Now, I am
writing to give you a hand.
Here are several useful and practical suggestions for you. To begin with, why not attend a
Chinese course, which will provide you with the most widely used words and expressions. In
addition, it would be wise of you to read some Chinese books and magazines as well as TV
programs, enabling you to know more about Chinese culture. Last but not least, it is also beneficial
for you to make some Chinese friends. Only by chatting with your Chinese friends can you have
enough chances to practice your Chinese.
Hopefully, these suggestions would be of help to you and I hold the firm belief that you can
master this beautiful language before long. Looking forward to your good news.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
续写：One possible version:
Paragraph 1：
Unsure what to do, I was put in a difficult situation. I liked Shannon, yet I was afraid that I
would become the target of the children’s ridicule if I insisted on inviting Shannon to my party. I
knew the right thing to do, but I struggled with the fear of having to live with my decision. Finally,
my consciousness took over. I decided not to say anything to Shannon and let the invitations stay as
written, despite the fact that I was worried about what would happen. Luckily, the party worked out
well, with all of us having fun together.
Paragraph 2：
Weeks later, Shannon suddenly called to thank me for inviting her to the party. She said my
invitation brightened her days. Shannon cherished the memory of that birthday party. It was
important to her that I had welcomed her into the fun, and it was a day when she felt accepted and
part of a group. She talked about the games we played and the cake we ate, remembering all the
details. For me, it was just a simple party. But for Shannon, it was a signal of acceptance.

Tuesday at 6:00 pm and the second on Thursday at the same time. This program is so popular that
the audience need to book the tickets in advance.
W: Oh, I saw it last year. There were so many people at the theater that I could hardly see the dancer.
Are there any other particular new programs
M: Er, yes, there will be a mask party. It will be held on Friday evening. Everyone is welcome, but
every participant should be dressed in fancy dress.
W: That’s funny. Where will it be held
M: It was planned to be held in the piazza (广场), but now it has been changed to the concert hall.
W: Great. I will go. Er, are there any living theaters
M: Yes, The Little Prince will be held on Wednesday. It is also at the theater. You can go to see it
from 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm or 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm.
W: How much will the ticket cost
M: Well, the ticket costs $10 for adults, $8 for students and seniors, and $15 for a family.
W: Excellent. I will go with my family.

M: Hello, this is Principal Johnson with the morning announcements. Our usual reader Timmy is
out sick today, so I’m reading in his place. I hope you’ve all had a great start to the week! This
Monday has started out warm and sunny, so let’s hope it stays that way. I know we’ve had some
strange weather in the last few weeks. We have just one month of school left before summer break,
so make sure you’ve turned in all of your homework. The last day to turn in an assignment is Friday,
May 20th. The last boys’ baseball game will be held at 6:00 pm this Wednesday. Please show up to
support the team! If you’ve had problems using the computers in the library, they should be fixed by
Thursday. We’re sorry for any trouble this may have caused. This evening, the girls’ softball team
will be playing their last game, and over the weekend, the basketball team is playing McKinney
School on Saturday afternoon. That’s it for the morning announcements. I hope everyone has a
great Monday!
