For many travelers these days, finding a way to make travel more meaningful has become a top priority. They are increasingly pursuing journeys that include time to volunteer, work on a conservation project, protect endangered animals or to do other activities that allow for giving back while exploring a new part of the world. Here are some opportunities that combine travel with doing good deeds.
The Azores
The trips offer the opportunity to work on carefully selected projects alongside famous scientists while also enjoying encounters with some of the world's most fascinating sea creatures in water.

Australia
Explore Queensland, Australia, while also supporting a registered charity that rescues farm animals from abuse, neglect, and situations where they're in danger. Participants help with daily cleaning of barns(牲口圈)and cages, feeding, health checks, light repair, monitoring animals' movements, and intensive care of ill, old and baby animals. The experience includes free accommodations with WiFi and a swimming pool.
Romania
Work with bears at Romania's largest bear sanctuary (庇护所), a place that was created as a heaven for bears that have been abused. Located in the Carpathian Mountains, the sanctuary needs volunteers to help with preparing food, monitoring animal well-being and leading conservation tours.

When I first heard about the improvisation(即兴交流)class, I was hesitating. As a quiet and shy girl, I feared improvising in front of strangers. However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph. D. , so it seemed like a perfect chance to learn how to speak and communicate with others effectively. I signed up, knowing the experience would give me help.
During our first class, we learned an important concept of improvisation:“yes, and. ”Il means that, as improvisers, we'd better accept what fellow performers say. If someone says that rhinos (犀牛)are librarians, for example, then rhinos are librarians. We do not question the logic; we say “yes” and then continue with the scene as if nothing is wrong.
The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes. I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the moment. Once when I was giving a presentation about my science, an audience member surprised me with a question that didn't grow out of the information Id presented. Instead of getting confused and nervous, I took the “yes, and” approach—accepting the question and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me find an appropriate answer. I got pretty excited about it.
The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication. Before attending the class, would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data, thinking that I had made a mistake. But now, instead of getting discouraged, I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real, keep exploring the data and end up identifying a new type of cell-one that isn't behaving as expected.
I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it's worth finding out whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn't to challenge data that support, a preconceived(预想的)story, but to say “yes, and. ”
24. Why did the author attend the improvisation class
A. To know more about her job.
B. To get a different experience.
C. To finish her Ph. D. at university.
D. To improve her speaking and communicating ability.
25. What was the author's change after attending the improvisation class
A. She formed her own idea quickly.
B. She came up with lots of creative responses.
C. She paid more attention to the logic of answers.
D. She became a good listener before giving an opinion.
26. The author mentions applying the "yes, and" approach to her scientific experiments to __________.
A. explain the process of using the method
B. prove the benefits of the improvisation class
C. share her own research experiences with readers
D. attract fellow scientists to attend the improvisation class
27. What can be inferred about scientists from the last paragraph
A. They should attend the improvisation class.
B. They should question all preconceived ideas.
C. They should try to improve their academic knowledge.
D. They should carry on research by admitting earlier data.
C
The rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world. To deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the government's health budget ( 预 算 )be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.
Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention. For instance, keeping a balanced diet, such as not consuming too much animal fat and insuring a steady intake of vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite important.
One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular exercise, which is necessary or a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stress.
In addition, health education plays a key role in improving people's health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing one's family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late.
However, stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education
28. What's the best title of the passage
A. Health or Illness B. Exercise or Illness
C. Prevention or Education D. Prevention or Treatment
29. What does the word "bankrupt" underlined in Paragraph 2 most probably mean
A. Unable to be cured. B. Stronger than ever before.
C. Unable to pay one's debts. D. More successful than ever before.
30. We learn from the passage that _____________________.
A. the more health education, the better
B. dressing warmly can prevent diseases
C. a balanced diet is cheaper than regular exercise
D. the government's health budget should be increased
31. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage
CP(Central Point) P(Point) Sp(Sub-point 次要点) C(Conclusion)
D
I'm used to seeing small leaps in technological progress, but occasionally, there are things that will still shock me. At the end of last year, a company called Open AI released a truly jaw-dropping demonstration of a new AI technology that feels almost like technology has skipped ahead by a few generations.
This new AI technology is called ChatGPT, a computer program that can understand and respond to human language. It is trained on a lot of text, so it can understand what people are saying and respond in a way that sounds like a real person. What's even more amazing is that ChatGPT seems frighteningly human in its ability to understand questions and answer them competently. “Write a story about Leonardo da Vinci in the style of Roald Dahl, ”you can ask it, and it'll spin up a pretty good children's story.
One area where I've found ChatGPT to be enormously useful is its ability to write computer code. This has particularly amazed me as unlike the English language, when you write code it has to be very precise (精确的)and carefully structured—but when I asked it to write me a program that would put some data into a database for me, in a particularly complex way, within seconds it generated something that would have taken me hours to do manually (人工地) ChatGPT isn't completely human, however. For example, it sometimes generates things that sound true, but are actually just nonsense. This is because of the way the AI learns through pattern recognition. There's no real intelligence operating there—it is just repeating something based on what it has “read” before. ChatGPT is better at some tasks than others: it can write a brilliant invitation email, but its ability to rhyme leaves a lot to be desired.
And this is why I'm pretty convinced that ChatGPT is going to change the world, sooner rather than later. It's already hugely impressive, but what exists at the moment is just a demonstration. Once the same AI is built into other apps and can connect to the live internet to learn more, it will become even more advanced. Our computers will no longer be just our word processors, but our writing partners too.
32. Which aspect about ChatGPT especially amazed the author
A. Its structure. B. Its variety. C. Its efficiency. D. Its correction.
33. What can we learn about ChatGPT from the Paragraph 4
A. ChatGPThas some limitations.
B. There's no real intelligence in the world.
C. ChatGPT is better than other chatbot AI.
D. AI cannot think the same way as humans do.
34. What is the author's attitude toward ChatGPT
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Unconcerned.

Emoji(表情符号)and Workplace Communication
In Asia, messaging platforms are growing rapidly, with users in the hundreds of millions, both at work and play. The popularity of these platforms is spreading globally. It's been reported that 76 percent of employees in some western countries are using emojis at work.
Written communications can often read as cold and dull. Using emojis can add humor and feeling, keeping intention clear. Messages with emojis feel more conversational, encouraging better and more frequent communication.
In any given office, employees can range from age 22 to 70 and beyond, and finding common ground in communication style can be a challenge. An easy way to bring all work generations together is with a chat platform. While the younger generations prefer to communicate visually, for those used to working with traditional tools like email, it may feel like a learning curve (曲线). The good news is that it's simple to learn and can be worth the effort.
There is also the matter of tone (语气). Who hasn't received an email so annoying that it ruined an entire day Even a formal email can seem cold and unfriendly. Emoji can help communication feel friendlier, and even a serious note can be softened with an encouraging smile.
Studies show that friendlier communication leads to a happier workplace and emoji can contribute directly to that positive outcome. And when your employees begin adding smiling emojis to their business communication, you'll know you have succeeded in improving your work culture.
40. According to the passage, what is the function of using emojis in communication
41. Please paraphrase(释义)the underlined part in your own words.
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
>An emoji in a formal business email can make it informal.
43. Think of an occasion where you use emojis and explain why. (about 40 words)
