My father was attached to gardening by birth. One of my earliest memories is following Dad barefoot around in the garden with both hands blackened from digging(挖) in the soil. The garden is a wonderland full of possibilities.
As Dad grew older, he still loved gardening. Even when he was diagnosed with cancer, he still planted all sorts of plants. Sometimes, I would come over to visit, and we would walk together in the garden. But then, something changed. Like the weeds that took over his garden, the cancer grew rapidly in Dad. I stayed with Dad twenty-four hours a day and I found myself in all kinds of uncomfortable situations with Dad until I promised to look after the garden.
Though I had heard the words of the doctor, what really made me believe that Dad was dying was the state of his garden. That year, he only planted tomatoes. Too tired to weed them, he just tied them with strong strings(绳子) to the fence and let them be. It made me sad to see them ignored, so I would come over and water them once in a while, and remove the weeds. I still remember the day I picked the last tomato from the vine(藤). That day was one of the saddest I had ever experienced in my life.
Three years ago I decided to plant my own garden. I decided I would start out with a few tomatoes. That morning when I moved to the garden, something caught the corner of my eyes and I had to smile. It was my eight-year-old son Nathan, standing barefoot in the soil, happily playing in the soil.

This summer we witnessed interview teams at the North Pole wearing short sleeve shirts due to the warm weather. A study published on Aug 29 revealed more concerning issues in the supposedly coldest area of the world. Zombie ice from a massive Greenland ice sheet was confirmed to be melting, which would eventually raise global sea levels by at least 10 inches (27 centimeters) on its own, reported Associated Press (AP).
Zombie ice is the kind of ice that is still attached to thicker areas of ice, but is no longer getting fed by larger glaciers. Since glaciers are getting less snow to complement the amount of ice melted, once the zombie ice is melted, it cannot be re-formed.
Scientists decided to look at the balance of the ice. In perfect equilibrium(平衡), snow in the mountains of Greenland flows down and thickens the sides of glaciers, balancing out what’s molting on the edges, according to AP. But in the last few decades, there is less refill and more melting, creating an imbalance.
Study co-author William Colgan at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland told AP that 3.3 percent of Greenland’s total ice volume will melt eventually. “Starving would be a good phrase for what’s happening to the ice,” Colgan added.
With a great number of natural resources buried under the earth, areas of melted ice revealed treasures that attracted the world’s richest men. According to CNN, in early August, there was a “treasure hunt” in Greenland. Billionaires, including Bill Gates and others, financially backed KoBold Metals, a US-based mineral exploration company, to explore the rare metals under the glaciers in Greenland. The company told CNN that since there were enough minerals to power hundreds of millions of electric vehicles the critical resource is capable of powering the green energy transition.
While investors are taking advantage of global warming, experts express their concerns that the mineral exploration is likely to worsen the local environment, draining up the world’s resources at a faster rate.
28. What do we know about zombie ice
A. It will melt away from the ice sheet.
B. It’s independent from large glaciers.
C. It has increased sea levels by up to 10 inches.
D. It’s complemented by nearby natural resources.
29. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. What larger glaciers exactly are.
B. Why melted zombie ice can’t be re-formed.
C. What the meliting of zombie ice can lead to.
D. How zombie ice functions in the ecosystem.
30. What’s the experts’ attitude toward the “treasure hunt” in Greenland
A. Supportive. B. Tolerant. C. Worried. D. Indifferent.
31. What’s the main purpose of the article
A. To comment on the “treasure hunt”. B. To report on the melting zombie ice.
C. To show the green energy transition. D. To introduce the mineral exploration.
D
"In my lifetime, I've seen two demonstrations(展示) of technology that struck me as revolutionary. The first time was in 1980, when I was introduced to a modern operating system—Windows. The second big surprise came just last year. I'd been meeting with the team from OpenAI since 2016 and was impressed by their steady progress," said Bill Gates on March 21st.
Technically, the term artificial intelligence refers to a model created to solve a specific problem or provide a particular service. What is powering thing like ChatGPT is artificial intelligence. And recently the company OpenAI is coming out with a new technology calledGPT-4, a language model that uses artificial intelligence to generate text that is almost indistinguishable(难以分辨的) from that written by a human. Some experts and researchers are excited about the potential applications of GPT-4 in industries such as healthcare, finance, and education.
While some people are excited about its potential, others are concerned about the potential dangers of such advanced AI technology. They worry that GPT-4 could be used for illegal purposes such as spreading misinformation, creating fake news, or manipulating(操纵) public opinion. "There's too much misinformation in the world today and the GPT-4 may create more," Joseph Bush, former director at The Daily Telegraph, told ABC News.
They also fear that the technology will widen inequality by perpetuating biases and discrimination that are encoded in the datasets used to train the model.
Despite these concerns, many people welcome GPT-4 warmly. Writers, poets, and other artists are eager to explore the possibilities of using the advanced technology to enhance their creativity or break through writer's block. Natural language processing researchers view GPT-4 as a tool to push the limits of artificial intelligence and deepen our understanding of human language.
32. Why did the author quote Bill Gates' speech in paragraph 1
A. To introduce the release of GPT-4.
B. To raise the concerns about GPT-4.
C. To praise OpenAI's steady progress in AI.
D. To show Bill Gates' important role in the development of AI.
33. What is GPT-4
A. A language tool to lighten labor workers' burden.
B. A language model to generate text automatically.
C. A model created to help people solve a specific problem.
D. An APP to help readers translate languages into native language.
34. What is Joseph Bush's attitude towards GPT-4
A. Friendly. B. Subjective. C. Approving. D. Skeptical.
35. What can be the best title of the text
A. The Age Of AI Has Begun
B. New AI Will Become Your Perfect Assistant
C. OpenAI's Latest Product Will Become More Popular
D. Should We Welcome Or Be Careful—GPT-4 Is Coming

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。
Christmas was approaching, and I had no idea what to get for my wife. We had just moved to Italy. Donna was away attending an important meeting, so I had the rest of the week to figure out what to get her as a Christmas gift before she got back.
My house partner while Donna was away was her cat, Princess, who was everything that her name implied. I was keeping Princess indoors in our new home until she became familiar with the place and then planned to slowly introduce her to the great outdoors. Princess had other ideas, and slipped out of the house as I was bringing in some food. By the time I had turned around and gone back out of the door to look for her, she was gone.
Donna would be back in a few days and it would ruin Christmas for both of us if Princess was not back by then, safe and sound. Donna had already excitedly told me over the phone that she had found several fun toys and delicious snacks for Princess as Christmas gifts. She couldn’t wait to get back and wrap them up.
I was in big trouble. I had to find Princess as soon as possible. So, I made up a poster of the cat that I personally drew because I couldn’t find a photo of her anywhere. I was sure my wife had hundreds on her phone, but I didn’t dare ask her for one. Perhaps because my poster were not so clear, soon people in the area came to my house with several homeless cats. Though Princess wasn’t among them, I let them stay in our yard. I figured Donna would understand.
Donna’s happy daily calls continued, as did my daily searches for Princess. I still hadn’t mentioned anything about the disappearance to my wife. Finally, the day came for my wife to return.

29.答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。根据文章第二段内容“Zombie ice is the kind of ice that is still attached to thicker areas of ice, but is no longer getting fed by larger glaciers. Since glaciers are getting less snow to complement the amount of ice melted, once the zombie ice is melted, it cannot be re-formed.(僵尸冰是指仍然附着在较厚的冰层上,但不再从较大的冰川中获得营养的冰。由于冰川的积雪越来越少,无法与融化的冰相补充,一旦僵尸冰融化,它就无法重新形成。)”可知,本段主要介绍了为什么融化的僵尸冰不能重新形成。故选B项。

答案：56.was approaching 57.be limited 58.tied 59.spotted 60.why 61.intention 62.for 63.to break 64.or 65.it
解析：56.考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:一天,我在接近几只巨大的生物时突然停了下来。此处为句型sb. be doing sth. when...,结合后文when I came to可知主句用过去进行时。故填was approaching。

63.考查动词不定式。句意:它们认为这些绳子肯定还能拴住它们,所以它们不会挣扎着挣脱。短语struggle to do sth.表示"挣扎着做某事"。故填to break。
64.考查连词。句意:在我们的生活中,许多人都是带着同样错误的自我限制思想长大的—我不够优秀,或者如果我不能成功,为什么要去尝试。此处为选择关系,表示"或者"应用or。故填or。
65.考查固定短语。句意:在我们的生活中,许多人都是带着同样错误的自我限制思想长大的—我不够优秀,或者如果我不能成功,为什么要去尝试。短语make it表示"成功"。故填it。

第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
I picked her up at the airport and decided to tell her what had happened. I explained to her about Princess and how I had been searching for her every day. Donna was understanding and supportive, but she couldn't help feeling sad about Princess. We spent the next few days trying to find Princess. We put up posters around the neighborhood and asked our neighbors if they had seen her. But there was no sign of her. At the same time, I told her about the homeless cats in our yard.
Paragraph 2:
When Donna saw the homeless cats in the yard, her eyes just filled with tears. One day, as we were sitting in the yard, we heard a familiar meowing. We looked around and saw Princess walking towards us. We were overjoyed to see her and couldn't believe that she had found her way back to us. From that day on, Princess never left our side. We were grateful for the experience of taking care of the homeless cats, but we were even more grateful to have our beloved Princess back home with us.
