21、In movies and books, people often describe a decisive moment when they figure out who they are. However, I never thought it actually happened in real life. I never expected to have a “moment” of my own. When it arrived, mine was much more powerful than I could have ever imagined.
During the spring of my junior year, my class watched a documentary called “The Invisible Children.” It was about three college students who take a trip to Africa and document their experience. At first the film was slightly humorous. However, once the group arrived in northern Uganda, the mood changed. They learned what the consequences of a 23-year war had been for thousands of children. Some had lost family and friends, others were caught by the opposing force and became child soldiers.
Before long, I was sobbing. I couldn’t believe these things were happening, yet at the same time I knew they were. I just hadn’t been paying attention, for in the past 17 years, I was blessedly protected. When the movie ended, I couldn’t get it out of my head. For the next week, I was not myself. Every bite of food I took I thought of Grace, the 15-year-old who had little to eat. When I went to bed, I pictured Sunday, the 14-year-old boy sleeping on a straw mat on the ground in a camp. My whole world shifted.
Since that day, I haven’t been able to picture my future in a way that doesn’t involve going to Africa and doing what I can to help. Ultimately, this is why I decided to major in engineering. With an engineering degree, my potential for change will be limitless. I will build wells and schools, and design irrigation systems. Engineering is tough, but I know—in what Yeats called “my deep heart’s call”—that this is what I’m supposed to do with my life.

A.Celebrity.
B.Health.
C.Education.
D.Science.
22、In 1965 three fathers in Washington State faced a problem familiar to many parents in 2022: how to keep their restless children entertained. They threw together wooden paddles (乒乓球拍), a badminton net, and a perforated (有孔的) plastic ball. The sport “pickleball” was born, getting its name – according to one story – from a dog named Pickle, who kept running away with the ball.
Today pickleball, which is a mix of tennis, badminton and ping pong, is the fastest-growing sport in America. In the five years to the end of 2019, pickleball participation grew by more than 7%, while Americans’ overall activity level stayed flat. Now, the sport has picked up more swing thanks to COVID 19. Last March, when gyms closed, portable (便携的) pickleball nets temporarily sold out. “It’s a trend.” says Derek Heil, an employee at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Dallas, who has seen a sales spike for pickleball equipment over the last year. Players set up courts, which are half the size of tennis courts, in driveways.
The 3.5 million Americans who play pickleball are about one-tenth the number who play golf and one-fifth the number who play tennis. Yet there are reasons to bet on the sport’s spread. Like many outdoor activities, pickleball is social, but it is easier to learn than tennis and faster and less expensive than golf. Country clubs and recreation centers are changing some of their tennis courts into pickleball courts to meet demand. The more places there are to play, the more players will try the sport.
Hoping to predict where the ball is going to land, producers of tennis racquets (球拍) are starting to make pickleball kit too. “Pickleball is viewed as an opportunity,” says Stu Upson of USA Pickleball, the sport’s national governing body. As more people take up the sport, demand for televised matches and sponsorships will increase. Mr. Upson expects that one day pickleball will become an Olympic sport, although that may be a long shot.
【1】What can we say about the sport pickleball?
A.It was named after a restless child.
B.It was used to entertain dogs.
C.It was invented by accident.
D.It was seen as a threat to tennis.
【2】What does the underlined word “spike” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Technique.
B.Increase.
C.Target.
D.Cycle.
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Pickleball has achieved its dominance in sports market in America.
B.Playing pickleball was the most popular sport in the US during the quarantine.
C.American’s participation in sports except pickleball decreased from 2015-2019.
D.Pickleball is the first choice for people to socialize.
【4】What’s the passage mainly about?
A.Great popularity of pickleball in America.
B.The development of pickleball in America.
C.The influence of pickleball on people’s lives.
D.The future of pickleball in the Olympics.
23、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 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 LloydWalmsley 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 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 questiors, 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.
【1】What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT?
A.Its language model.
B.Its working theory.
C.Its design inspiration.
D.Its development process.
【2】Why are the figures listed in paragraph 3?
A.To show the popularity of ChatGPT.
B.To stress the high cost of inventing ChatGPT.
C.To prove the necessity of developing ChatGPT.
D.To present the creativity of artificial intelligence.
【3】What is ChatGPT Plus intended to do?
A.To guide users to experience free services.
B.To allow net surfers to skip advertisements.
C.To help researchers detect the failure of the system.
D.To offer consumers priority access during peak hours.
【4】What is the limitation of ChatGPT compared with Google?
A.It operates based on limited data.
B.It updates information at a fixed time.
C.It takes more time to search for solutions.
D.It serves a certain number of customers at a time.

25、Watson entered Mr. Smith’s office. The boss was a(n) _________ man. He fired people who didn’t do well without giving them a second chance.
“Watson,” said Mr Smith, “this past year your department hasn’t earned money. We’re going to _________ that department. It’s finished. I’m sorry — but you’ll have to _________ .” “But, sir-if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the _________ to keep my son at Riverside School.”
“What’s that!” said the boss. “Riverside! I didn’t know you had a boy there. That’s a(n) _________ school for a man with your salary.”
“I know, sir. But he likes it so much! He’s a star trackman and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ there.”
The boss sat perfectly still for a long time-a faraway look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “We’ve got to close your department, Watson. But you’ll _________ a new job in another department. It means longer hours — maybe more _________ . Now get out. You’re here for life.”

I can’t say the boys here are any __________ than the others were. I guess it’s the same everywhere when you’re a cripple (跛子). But don’t worry about me, Dad.
