shade. The Indian Ocean nation of the Maldives has developed into the world’s premier tropical hot spot for a
reason. Best of all, there are plenty of beaches to go around, with over 100 private resorts and welcoming,

Derek Veal found an old suitcase filled with photos, some more than 100 years old, when he explored his
grandfather’s old house in Georgia. It belonged to his great-grandmother, who had Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症) and
lived in a nursing home. Veal and his grandfather went to visit her with the photos, hoping she could tell them more
about the photos. What happened next changed Veal’s life.
“Everything came back to her when she saw these pictures,” Veal said. “She recognized her sisters, her aunts,
her grandparents... It was the first time I had ever seen someone’s excitement from an old photo returning to them.”
The experience made Veal aware of the power of old photos to hold precious and long-forgotten memories and
restore a sense of identity. It never left him. Two years ago, when he came across old family photos for sale at a
thrift store (旧货店), he decided to pick one picture and try to track down the family. Soon, he was inspired to buy
more photos and started a Facebook group called Old Photo Project to aid in finding their families.
Veal is not alone in this hobby. David Gutenmacher, 26, lives in Queens, New York, and started his project,
Museum of Lost Memories, in late 2020. He has already had over 300,000 followers on Instagram and over
750,000 on TikTok. “Some of my posts have gone viral and twice a person or family was tracked down in a matter
of minutes!” Gutenmacher said. These lost pictures can bring the memories back to the families they belong to.
What makes this hobby so unique is not only how it gives people the chance to help others, but it also brings
these enthusiasts a sense of purpose. “I feel like this is my calling,” said Gutenmacher. “The more I return
memories, the more it feels like I’m supposed to be doing this.”
4. According to the text, what changed Veal’s life
A. His great-grandmother’s life experience.
B. His awareness of the value of old photos.
C. His family’s history shown in the photos.
D. His exploration of his grandfather’s old house.
5. What do the underlined words “have gone viral” most probably mean in paragraph 4
A. Have spread quickly and widely. B. Have received some comments.
C. Have been updated regularly. D. Have made people think deeply.
6. How does Gutenmacher feel about what he does
A. It’s not easy. B. It’s not enough.
C. It’s just a hobby. D. It’s his duty.
7. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Old Photos for Photo Enthusiasts B. The Unique Hobby of Veal
C. Returning Lost Memories D. Researching the History of a Family
C
A new device known as Shark Guard is being trialed which gives off a pulse to protect sharks and rays from
fishing hooks (鱼钩). The data so far suggests that it has been very effective in reducing the number of sharks and
stingrays caught by commercial fishing equipment.
Commercial fishing is known to threaten sharks and rays worldwide. Research has found that 24 per cent of
the average monthly space used by sharks around the world falls under the-footprint of distant long line fisheries.
This is when hooks hang near the surface to catch fish like tuna and swordfish. A quarter of shark habitats are
within active fishing zones.
It is estimated that over 20,000,000 sharks are caught as bycatch every year. Stingrays are also frequently
caught as bycatch. “Bycatch” refers to unwanted fish and marine creatures caught by commercial fishing
equipment, and is typically discarded (丢弃) overboard either dead or dying.
Shark Guard was designed by marine scientists to protect sharks and rays from fishing equipment. It is a small
battery-powered device that can be fastened on the line next to a baited hook and gives off a short pulse every two
seconds.
Study found that the device reduced the number of blue sharks caught in a French long line tuna fishery in the
Mediterranean by 91 per cent, and stingrays by 71 per cent. These are promising numbers, although Dr. Phil
Doherty, lead author of the study, said that Shark Guard should “be designed on a case-by-case basis to ensure it’s
fit for purpose.”
8. What is the new device used to do
A. Stop sharks being caught. B. Reduce the number of sharks.
C. Confirm a scientific guess. D. Prevent commercial hunting.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The places fishing hooks hang. B. The range of commercial fishing.
C. The benefits of protecting sharks. D. The harm of commercial fishing.
10. What does Phil Doherty think of the device
A. It is promising. B. It is ineffective.
C. It needs improving. D. It is perfectly designed.
11. What is the text
A. A diary entry. B. A news report.
C. A fantasy story. D. A book review.

ChatGPT, designed by OpenAI to carry on conversations just like humans, has become a viral excitement. The
AI-powered tool went from zero to a million users in just five days! Its ability to provide in-depth answers to user
questions has even drawn the attention of distinguished technology companies.
The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense. Its
vast body of knowledge has been gathered from the Internet and archived books. It is further trained by humans and
can process the whole Internet and all of the information it contains for you to answer your question. This makes
ChatGPT a useful tool for researching almost any topic.
ChatGPT cannot think on its own. It depends on the information that it has been trained on. As a result, the AI
tool works well for things that have accurate data available. However, when unsure, ChatGPT can get creative and
flow out incorrect responses. Therefore, OpenAI cautions users to check the information no matter how logical it
sounds. Also, ChatGPT has only been trained with information till 2021. Hence, it cannot be relied upon for
anything that happened after that.
Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real-world problems. It can translate long texts into
different languages, create content on almost any topic, and even summarize books.
However, ChatGPT has received mixed reactions from educators. Some believe it could serve as a valuable
tool to help build literacy skills in the classroom. It could also be used to teach students difficult science or math
concepts. But other educators think ChatGPT will encourage students to cheat. They fear this will prevent them
from building critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As a result, many districts are starting to ban its use in
schools.
12. What makes ChatGPT attractive to technology companies
A. It has artificial intelligence.
B. It has the largest number of users.
C. It can engage in meaningful conversations.
D. It can answer all of the users’ questions.
13. What makes ChatGPT helpful to research various topics
A. Its accurate information. B. Its availability of up-to-date data.
C. Its ability to process information. D. Its vast body of questions.
14. Why do ChatGPT users have to be cautious when using it
A. ChatGPT lacks creativity.
B. ChatGPT is unable to think itself.
C. ChatGPT offers illogical information.
D. ChatGPT is not properly trained.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards ChatGPT
A. Favorable. B. Disapproving.
C. Intolerant. D. Objective.

Lead, don’t follow.
People who are admired are unafraid to do something new or different.____17____You can be a leader even
among those who have greater official authority than you by convincing others to follow a certain course or act in a

Take a positive attitude.
A positive attitude doesn’t mean pretending that everything is great all the time. That is
unrealistic.____19____Try to be positive about some negative situations, and maybe things will get better.
Work hard.
Whether you’re working for minimum wage or managing a large company, you should always take pride in
your work. Doing so will show that you are capable of doing your part. Go above and beyond in your workplace by
giving your all on the job. If you make pizzas, make the best pizza you can every time.____20____Take pride in
your work and doing it will be a pleasure, not a hard job. Keep your office or workspace clean and well-organized.
A. Stick to your principles.

Grandma got Grandpa out of bed and helped him to the kitchen for breakfast. After his meal, she led him to
his armchair in the living room where he would rest while she cleaned the dishes. Ever so often, she would check to
see if he needed anything.
This was their daily routine after Grandpa’s latest stroke. Although once a very active man, his severely
damaged left arm, difficulty walking and slurred (含糊不清的) speech now kept him housebound. For nearly a
year he hadn’t been to church or to visit family.
Grandpa filled his hours with television. He watched the news and game shows while Grandma went about her
day. They made a promise — he was not to leave his chair or his bed without her assistance.
“If you fell and I threw my back out trying to help you, who would take care of us ” Grandma would ask him.
She was resolved they should take care of themselves and live independently. The Brooklyn brownstone had been
their first home and held wonderful memories. They weren’t ready to leave it behind anytime soon.
Immigrants from Ireland, they had met and married in America. Grandma was friendly, outgoing and unselfish;
Grandpa was reserved, a man devoted to his family, but he wasn’t big on giving gifts. While he wouldn’t think
twice about giving Grandma the shirt off his back, he had the belief that if you treated your wife well throughout
the year, presents weren’t necessary; so he rarely purchased gifts for her.
It was a cold, gray February morning, a typical winter’s day in New York. As always, Grandma walked
Grandpa to his chair. “I’m going to take a shower now.” She handed him the television remote. “If you need
anything, I’ll be back in a little while.”
After her shower, she glanced towards the back of Grandpa’s recliner (躺椅) but noticed that his cane was not
leaning in its usual spot. Sensing something unusual, she went into the room. He was gone. The closet door stood
open and his hat and overcoat were missing. Fear ran down her spine. Grandma threw a coat over her bathrobe and
ran outside.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;

Derek Veal found an old suitcase filled with photos, some more than 100 years old, when he explored his
grandfather’s old house in Georgia. It belonged to his great-grandmother, who had Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症) and
lived in a nursing home. Veal and his grandfather went to visit her with the photos, hoping she could tell them more
about the photos. What happened next changed Veal’s life.
“Everything came back to her when she saw these pictures,” Veal said. “She recognized her sisters, her aunts,
her grandparents... It was the first time I had ever seen someone’s excitement from an old photo returning to them.”
The experience made Veal aware of the power of old photos to hold precious and long-forgotten memories and
restore a sense of identity. It never left him. Two years ago, when he came across old family photos for sale at a
thrift store (旧货店), he decided to pick one picture and try to track down the family. Soon, he was inspired to buy
more photos and started a Facebook group called Old Photo Project to aid in finding their families.
Veal is not alone in this hobby. David Gutenmacher, 26, lives in Queens, New York, and started his project,
Museum of Lost Memories, in late 2020. He has already had over 300,000 followers on Instagram and over
750,000 on TikTok. “Some of my posts have gone viral and twice a person or family was tracked down in a matter
of minutes!” Gutenmacher said. These lost pictures can bring the memories back to the families they belong to.
What makes this hobby so unique is not only how it gives people the chance to help others, but it also brings
these enthusiasts a sense of purpose. “I feel like this is my calling,” said Gutenmacher. “The more I return
memories, the more it feels like I’m supposed to be doing this.”
4. According to the text, what changed Veal’s life
A. His great-grandmother’s life experience.
B. His awareness of the value of old photos.
C. His family’s history shown in the photos.
D. His exploration of his grandfather’s old house.
5. What do the underlined words “have gone viral” most probably mean in paragraph 4
A. Have spread quickly and widely. B. Have received some comments.
C. Have been updated regularly. D. Have made people think deeply.
6. How does Gutenmacher feel about what he does
A. It’s not easy. B. It’s not enough.
C. It’s just a hobby. D. It’s his duty.
7. What is a suitable title for the text

A new device known as Shark Guard is being trialed which gives off a pulse to protect sharks and rays from
fishing hooks (鱼钩). The data so far suggests that it has been very effective in reducing the number of sharks and
stingrays caught by commercial fishing equipment.
Commercial fishing is known to threaten sharks and rays worldwide. Research has found that 24 per cent of
the average monthly space used by sharks around the world falls under the-footprint of distant long line fisheries.
This is when hooks hang near the surface to catch fish like tuna and swordfish. A quarter of shark habitats are
within active fishing zones.
It is estimated that over 20,000,000 sharks are caught as bycatch every year. Stingrays are also frequently
caught as bycatch. “Bycatch” refers to unwanted fish and marine creatures caught by commercial fishing
equipment, and is typically discarded (丢弃) overboard either dead or dying.
Shark Guard was designed by marine scientists to protect sharks and rays from fishing equipment. It is a small
battery-powered device that can be fastened on the line next to a baited hook and gives off a short pulse every two
seconds.
Study found that the device reduced the number of blue sharks caught in a French long line tuna fishery in the
Mediterranean by 91 per cent, and stingrays by 71 per cent. These are promising numbers, although Dr. Phil
Doherty, lead author of the study, said that Shark Guard should “be designed on a case-by-case basis to ensure it’s
fit for purpose.”
8. What is the new device used to do
A. Stop sharks being caught. B. Reduce the number of sharks.
C. Confirm a scientific guess. D. Prevent commercial hunting.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The places fishing hooks hang. B. The range of commercial fishing.
C. The benefits of protecting sharks. D. The harm of commercial fishing.
10. What does Phil Doherty think of the device
A. It is promising. B. It is ineffective.
C. It needs improving. D. It is perfectly designed.
11. What is the text
A. A diary entry. B. A news report.
C. A fantasy story. D. A book review.

ChatGPT, designed by OpenAI to carry on conversations just like humans, has become a viral excitement. The
AI-powered tool went from zero to a million users in just five days! Its ability to provide in-depth answers to user
questions has even drawn the attention of distinguished technology companies.
The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense. Its
vast body of knowledge has been gathered from the Internet and archived books. It is further trained by humans and
can process the whole Internet and all of the information it contains for you to answer your question. This makes
ChatGPT a useful tool for researching almost any topic.
ChatGPT cannot think on its own. It depends on the information that it has been trained on. As a result, the AI
tool works well for things that have accurate data available. However, when unsure, ChatGPT can get creative and
flow out incorrect responses. Therefore, OpenAI cautions users to check the information no matter how logical it
sounds. Also, ChatGPT has only been trained with information till 2021. Hence, it cannot be relied upon for
anything that happened after that.
Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real-world problems. It can translate long texts into
different languages, create content on almost any topic, and even summarize books.
However, ChatGPT has received mixed reactions from educators. Some believe it could serve as a valuable
tool to help build literacy skills in the classroom. It could also be used to teach students difficult science or math
concepts. But other educators think ChatGPT will encourage students to cheat. They fear this will prevent them
from building critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As a result, many districts are starting to ban its use in
schools.
12. What makes ChatGPT attractive to technology companies
A. It has artificial intelligence.
B. It has the largest number of users.
C. It can engage in meaningful conversations.
D. It can answer all of the users’ questions.
13. What makes ChatGPT helpful to research various topics
A. Its accurate information. B. Its availability of up-to-date data.
C. Its ability to process information. D. Its vast body of questions.
14. Why do ChatGPT users have to be cautious when using it
A. ChatGPT lacks creativity.
B. ChatGPT is unable to think itself.
C. ChatGPT offers illogical information.
D. ChatGPT is not properly trained.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards ChatGPT

47. 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。
Grandma got Grandpa out of bed and helped him to the kitchen for breakfast. After his meal, she led him to
his armchair in the living room where he would rest while she cleaned the dishes. Ever so often, she would check to
see if he needed anything.
This was their daily routine after Grandpa’s latest stroke. Although once a very active man, his severely
damaged left arm, difficulty walking and slurred (含糊不清的) speech now kept him housebound. For nearly a
year he hadn’t been to church or to visit family.
Grandpa filled his hours with television. He watched the news and game shows while Grandma went about her
day. They made a promise — he was not to leave his chair or his bed without her assistance.
“If you fell and I threw my back out trying to help you, who would take care of us ” Grandma would ask him.
She was resolved they should take care of themselves and live independently. The Brooklyn brownstone had been
their first home and held wonderful memories. They weren’t ready to leave it behind anytime soon.
Immigrants from Ireland, they had met and married in America. Grandma was friendly, outgoing and unselfish;
Grandpa was reserved, a man devoted to his family, but he wasn’t big on giving gifts. While he wouldn’t think
twice about giving Grandma the shirt off his back, he had the belief that if you treated your wife well throughout
the year, presents weren’t necessary; so he rarely purchased gifts for her.
It was a cold, gray February morning, a typical winter’s day in New York. As always, Grandma walked
Grandpa to his chair. “I’m going to take a shower now.” She handed him the television remote. “If you need
anything, I’ll be back in a little while.”
After her shower, she glanced towards the back of Grandpa’s recliner (躺椅) but noticed that his cane was not
leaning in its usual spot. Sensing something unusual, she went into the room. He was gone. The closet door stood
open and his hat and overcoat were missing. Fear ran down her spine. Grandma threw a coat over her bathrobe and
ran outside.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
Desperately, she scanned the street in both directions. Small mounds of snow and ice coated the sidewalks.
Walking safely would be difficult for people who were steady on their feet, much less someone in Grandpa’s
conditions. Where could he be Why would he leave the house all by himself Wringing her hands, she hardly felt
the cold as she watched the traffic rush by. As she stood alone on the street corner, guilt and worry flooded her.
Paragraph 2:
Just then, Grandpa came round the corner. Head bowed, eyes focused on the sidewalk, he took small,
cautious steps. Desperate to reach him, Grandma raced to meet him. Relieved to see that he was OK, she started to
scold. “What did you need so badly that you couldn’t wait I was so worried about you!” Before Grandpa had a
chance to explain, she pulled out a heart-shaped gift box from the bag in his good arm. “It’s Valentine’s Day,”
Grandpa said. “I thought you might like a box of chocolates, so this is a gift for you.” Tears flooded Grandma’s
eyes as she hugged his arm to her chest and assisted Grandpa home.
