21、Recently, the artificial intelligence app ChatGPT has been making headlines in the higher education media and beyond. Some have taken an alarmist approach, such as a recent Atlantic piece titled “The College Essay Is Dead.” Others have been more optimistic, examining the limitations of the app as well as offering suggestions for how it can inform student learning and writing. Below is an FAQ about ChatGPT.
Q: How can I design assignments to discourage use of ChatGPT?
A: One important strategy for preventing use of ChatGPT or other similar technologies is to create assignments that require students to show stages of their work (outlines, rough drafts, etc.).
Ask students to refer to course materials and discussions, which would be impossible for ChatGPT to access and would also promote valuable integration skills.
Ask students to engage in and submit a reflection about what they have learned from completing the assignment. Sample tips include: a) Discuss the most challenging and most rewarding aspects of your project. b) What was the most surprising thing you learned in the course of this project? c) If you had the chance to do it again, what one thing would you have done differently on this project?
Teach citation skills and research skills, including expression of original thought.
It is worth considering why you assign writing in your classes and discussing that clearly with students. For most professors, writing represents a form of thinking. But for some students, writing is simply a product, a collection of words repeated back to the teacher. According to John Warner, a blogger and author of two books on writing, “If you can create an atmosphere where students are invested in learning, they are not going to copy, and they are not going to dodge the work. But the work has to be worth doing on some level, beyond getting the grade.”
Q: How can I use ChatGPT in the writing process?
A: These types of apps are not going away and will no doubt rise sharply in the future, so encouraging students to use them productively could be seen as an important contribution to information competence.
【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A．College essay is dead because of ChatGPT.

A．Write an essay by referring to course materials.
B．Write an essay about group discussion.
C．Hand in homework with specific steps.
D．Attach your paper with citations.
【3】What does John Warner say about teaching?
A．Making sure students are actively engaged.
B．Creating a happy atmosphere for students.

22、 Pets in dozens of towns across the nation are more likely to live through a fire because of the efforts of a young girl.
Encouraged two years ago by a news report of a dog that survived a fire because of a special oxygen mask for pets, Monica Plumb made research and then raised money so the five firetrucks in her area could carry similar equipment. Once she had made it, she continued begging donations — using her website and collection cans, giving speeches, whatever it took. So far, she has supplied nearly 300 fire stations with the pet-saving equipment.
Firefighters regularly made efforts to save animals, even to the point of doing mouth-to-nose breathing, using human oxygen masks, or creating masks from cups and oxygen pipes, to try to save them. But none are successful in sending oxygen, and the efforts often fail. The pets’ best chance of living is receiving oxygen through a specially made mask, but most fire departments cannot spend money on equipment that won’t be used to save human lives.
With time going by, animal lovers, and many animal welfare (福利) groups are taking action.
Massachusetts veterinarians have donated kits to about 50 fire departments throughout the state; Invisible Fence has donated more than 5,100 kits to stations across the US. “That was early in the awareness curve,” says Best Friends Pet Care’s Deb Bennett. “We had to educate and persuade many fire chiefs about the value of the masks.”
Young Monica Plumb, who plans to become a veterinarian (兽医), had no idea her campaign would go this far. She thinks donors, who give $1, $5 or $20 to her efforts, do so because they understand that they’re helping pets, they’re helping their families and they’re helping the firefighters”.
【1】What sort of girl is Monica Plumb?
A.Cooperative and energetic. B.Loving and determined.
C.Patient and ambitious. D.Honest and devoted.
【2】How can oxygen be sent to animals successfully?
A.Using masks made from cups and pipes. B.Using specially-designed pet masks.
C.Doing mouth-to-nose breathing. D.Using human oxygen masks.
【3】What can be inferred from Deb Bennett’s words?
A.Many animal welfare groups have been set up.
B.More fire chiefs are willing to pay for pet masks.
C.Importance of pet masks hasn’t been realized by all.
D.Great achievements have been made to save animals.
【4】What does the underlined phrase “her campaign” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Raising money to save injured animals.
B.Providing pet masks for fire departments.
C.Educating people to protect wild animals.
D.Setting up a fund to support firefighters.
23、When talking about colds (感冒), maybe some people say it is very common. During the cold winter days, many people will complain (抱怨) the cold winter makes them catch a cold, and what they feel upset are not only the headache, cough but also the runny nose. It is so embarrassing when they forget to take a handkerchief or tissue along with them.
Want to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face.
Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. It's possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University.
"It seems that positive (积极的) feelings may reduce (减少) the danger of illness, " said the study's chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.
In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.
In this study, Cohen has interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers that they were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.
The results showed that everyone in the study was equally (相等地) likely to get ill. But for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illness are less serious and lasted for a shorter time.
Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried about your health, look on the brighter side more often.
【1】The underline part in Paragraph 5 is probably means ______ .
A．were sad
B．were bad-tempered
C．were thoughtful
D．were outgoing
【2】What did the study find? ______
A．People who felt happy never got ill.
B．People with positive feelings had less serious illnesses.
C．People with good feelings became ill more easily.
D．People's feelings didn't influence their health.
【3】According to Cohen, which of the following may help fight illness? ______
A．Eating.
B．Laughing
C．Crying
D．Sleeping.
【4】What is the best title for this passage? ______
A．Smiles can fight colds
B．Cause of colds found
C．The danger of colds
D．How people get sick

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
An Adventure on the Beach
It’s a perfect family summer seaside holiday. Occasionally some white clouds floated across the blue sky. The sandy beach was soft and comfortable. The water was glistering in the morning sunlight and the surf was cool on their feet as Krin and Paula leisurely walked along the water edge. The brother and sister began to make some sandcastles. Not far away, mother sat under a big umbrella, reading a book with a bottle of lemonade in her hand. Father was busy exchanging a few words of greetings with the strangers he met on the beach.
Suddenly, Krin spotted some pieces of seashells lying scattered on the picturesque beach and small holes stretching along it where the crabs had hidden. He immediately invited Paula to collect shells and search the holes together with him. They were having a ball exploring what appeared to be a never-ending beach.
After a while, they stopped and looked back. Their parents and the umbrellas, beach chairs, and crowds were a long way off. But just ahead, hidden amongst sea grape trees stood a run-down house that seemed to be out of repair for years. It appeared to be unoccupied. Curious, they went to investigate.
The front steps to the doorway of the house creaked (嘎吱作响) as they carefully climbed up them, so did the porch when they stepped onto it. The dusty windows and porch railing (门廊栏杆) were badly weathered and broken. The front door was half open so they squeezed through and cautiously entered. The place was in a total mess, covered with dust, sand, dead leaves, and overturned furniture. They’d taken but a few steps when the door unexpectedly slammed shut behind them.
Scared, Krin and Paula were frozen to the spot. But before they could even utter something like “Oh-oh,” the windows abruptly closed, too. And if this wasn’t scary enough, the stairs to the second floor creaked loudly. When a light in the back bedroom flickered (摇曳), that was absolutely the final straw.
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
Paragraph 1:
“Let’s get out of here, Paula!” screamed Krin.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Out they ran, all the way back to those wonderful umbrellas, beach chairs, and crowds.
