Dear Ms. Librarian (图书管理员),
I don’t know if you still remember me. Perhaps you don’t. After all, I am only one of the many people, at one time or another, who you have helped.
I don’t remember your face as clearly as I wish I could, but I do remember how you looked at me. I was nine years old and standing at your desk, not for a book but for hope, for a path (道路) forward. 1. 我记得你带着微笑,温暖地看着我。I just felt I was safe staying with you.
You were always there—a kind, supportive lady. 2. When I asked you a question, you would do your best to answer it patiently. When I felt confused (困惑的) because life seemed to be harder than I had imagined it could be, I would go to you. You would always calm (使平静) me down by sharing your love for books with me. 3. You would always help me find way out.
4. 我不知道如何感谢你,但是我会尽力。Thank you for letting me understand that books can be like medicine. Thank you for knowing that sometimes, people come to you not for books at all. You are not just a librarian. You are also a carer, a social worker, a teacher, among the many other roles you have served in your time.
5. How lucky I was to meet you! It’s you who completely changed my life. I am grateful (感激的) for all the help you have offered.

24、
A popular animated movie which includes 48 poems has become a favorite for many children. The movie, Chang’an, which hit cinemas on July 8, has scored 8.2 out of 10 point s with nearly 150,000 reviews (评论) on popular review platform Douban Movie.
The movie Chang’an takes its title from the ancient name of Xi’an in Shaanxi Province. Using Gao Shi, a famous poet during the Tang Dynasty as a main character, the movie tells stories about a group of excellent poets in his time such as Li Bai, Du Fu and Wang Wei. Unlike other movies put on Chinese screens before, the 168-minute movie is the longest Chinese animated movie.
During the showing of the movie, many children who go along with their parents excitedly recite (背诵) the poems whenever they appear, which has caused a great discussion among audiences (观众) whose reviews can be seen on different platforms.
Some consider it irritating. “More than half of the audiences were primary school students, and the girl behind me was reciting really loudly whenever it was something she knows.” one review said, adding that parents should teach their children to act properly in public places, especially when they are trying to let their children learn something.
“There are even parents who record their children reciting in the cinema, as if they haven’t seen the no-recording rule.” another review said. Many reviews advised cinemas organize family—only showings and keep them away from those who want silence during the showing.
Yu Xin, a movie reviewer, said on his Sina Weibo moviegoers should be more understanding. “It’s a wonderful sound. It’s the unique romance that only belongs to Chinese cinemas.” he said, adding when the musical movie Les Miserable hit Chinese screens a few years ago, audiences who sang along were highly thought of.
【1】How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 1?
A.By giving examples.

D.Wang Wei
【3】What does the underlined word “irritating” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Make someone happy.
B.Make someone angry.
C.Make someone amazed.
D.Make someone excited.
【4】According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A.The movie Chang’an is the longest Chinese movie.
B.Chang’an has gotten about 15,000 reviews on Douba n Movie.
C.Yu Xin doesn’t mind children reciting when watching Chang’an.
D.Chang’an tells stories about great poets from different dynasties.
25、When ChatGPT came out last November, Olivia Lipkin, a copywriter (文案写手) in San Francisco, didn’t think too much about it. Over the next few months, however, Lipkin found herself with less and less work to do. In April, she was fired with no explanation. She realized why she lost her job when she heard managers talking about how using ChatGPT was cheaper than hiring (雇用) a human writer.
Lipkin was not alone. Eric Fein, a 34-year-old man in the U. S. state of Illinois, ran a writing business for ten years. He became jobless this March. All his clients (顾客) told him they no longer needed his services because they were turning to ChatGPT. Fein asked his clients to reconsider. He warned them that ChatGPT couldn’t write with his level of creativity. His clients said they understood, but it was far cheaper to use the chatbot (聊天机器人) than to pay him. Fein’s business was gone almost overnight.
Economists predict (经济学家预测) that AI systems like ChatGPT could replace hundreds of millions of jobs in the future. But for those who write social media posts and ads, the effect is already here. Experts say that even the best AI systems can’t match the writing skills of a human. It doesn’t have a personal voice or style. Besides, it often gives the wrong answers. But for many companies, the cost savings are worth the drop in quality. Indeed, companies that have replaced human workers with chatbots have run into trouble. CNET, a technology news site company, once used AI systems to write articles. The results, however, were full of mistakes. They required a lot of corrections. And the U. S. National Eating Disorders Association Company once replaced its helpline (求助热线) staff with chatbots. But it had to stop using the technology after it gave people harmful advice.
After being replaced by ChatGPT, Fein and Lipkin took a same path. Fein decided to do a new job that AI can’t do. He is now an air-conditioning technician (空调技术人员) after training. And Lipkin wanted to work as a dog walker. “I’m taking a complete break from the office world.” She says. But she doesn’t work now.
【1】When did Olivia Lipkin lose her job?

B.34 years ago.
C.In April.
D.This March.
【2】How many companies that have replaced human workers with chatbots have run into trouble in the text?
A.Two.
B.Three.
C.Many.
D.None.
【3】How did Fein get a new job?
A.By accident.
B.By training.
C.By mistake.
D.By chatting.
【4】What is the author’s attitude about the text?
A.AI systems maybe replace many jobs, but they can’t replace all.
B.Don’t believe in any experts and economists’ posts and ads.
C.It is nice to take a complete break from the office world.
D.Humans mustn’t have a personal voice or style.
26、One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But he was told that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why? In fact, the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is the first floor, which Americans would call the second floor. The story shows that there are a few cultural differences between Britain and America, though the British and Americans both speak English.
