21、 A group of volunteers joined forces to form a human chain to free four dolphins which had been stranded (搁浅) in a canal for four days. The four dolphins were seen in the water near the Fossil Park neighborhood in St Petersburg, Florida, US, on Sunday. Experts from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) had monitored the dolphins' activities in the past few days and hoped that they would swim out with the tide.
But when the dolphins struggled to leave the canal, the brave volunteers joined members of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Clearwater Marine Aquarium to form a rescue team to free them. Dozens of people gathered to take videos and pictures of the kind act. A team of 14 volunteers held hands to act as a block to guide the dolphins out of the narrow channel. They shouted and patted the water with their hands to direct the dolphins to vast expanses of Riviera Bay. Dolphins find their way in the water through echolocation(回声定位). That means that, by making high-frequency sounds, they can recognize the echoes of sound waves that bounce off objects to find their way around.
Andy Garrett, a biologist of the FWC said, "We were able to keep that chain together. The dolphins were interested. They actually came over right away." He added that when the team reached a bridge, the dolphins appeared a bit nervous and started doing some spins. "They made one real hard pass at our team and then went under the bridge and took off," Garrett said. The operation lasted about 45 minutes and the rescue team did not use nets or any items that could stress the dolphins.

23、If you ask something of ChatGPT, an artificial-intelligence(AI) tool, you may immediately get the responses, completely certain and often wrong. The questions raised by technologies like ChatGPT cause much more tentative answers. But they are ones that managers ought to start asking.
One issue is how to deal with employees’ concerns about job security. Worries are natural. An AI that makes it easier to process your expenses is one thing; an AI that people would prefer to sit next to at a dinner party quite another. Being clear about how workers would redirect time and energy that is freed up by an AI helps foster acceptance. So does creating a sense of agency: research conducted by MIT Sloan Management Review and the Boston Consulting Group found that an ability to override an AI makes employees more likely to use it.
Arthur Jago of the University of Washington and Glenn Carroll of the Stanford Graduate School of Business investigate how willing people are to give rather than earn credit—specifically for work that someone did not do on their own. They showed volunteers something attributed to a specific person — an artwork, say, or a business plan — and then revealed that it had been created either with the help of an algorithm or with the help of human assistants. Everyone gave less credit to producers when they were told they had been helped, but this effect was more pronounced for work that involved human assistants.
The picture that emerges from such research is messy. It is also dynamic: just as technologies evolve, so will attitudes. But it is crystal-clear on one thing. The impact of ChatGPT and other AIs will depend not just on what they can do, but also on how they make people feel.
【1】What should managers take into consideration when using technologies like ChatGPT?
A．Skills used for them.
B．Issues caused by them.
C．Accuracy ensured in them.
D．Alternatives discovered for them.
【2】What can we learn about employees’ attitude towards AI from Paragraph 2?
A．They find it can make their work more complicated.
B．They think it is a threat for AI to replace them at work.
C．They consider it’s normal for AI to finish all their work.
D．They feel it’s vital for them to acknowledge its abilities.
【3】What did the volunteers think of a task accomplished with AI algorithm?
A．They thought little of it.
B．They were unaware of it.
C．They spoke highly of it.
D．They felt envious about it.
【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The limitation of AI.
B．The importance of Chat GPT
C．The relationship between AI and humans.
D．The practical application of Chat GPT.
24、 Is there a single word that motivates us more than “weekend”？ It's like the promise of a sweet hereafter following what seems like a lifetime of toil (劳累). It's the spring in our step that gets bouncier with each passing day - until by Friday, we're practically bumping our heads against the ceiling.
The trouble is that the weekend is a rip-off. You think you're getting 48 hours of unconditional downtime, but reality takes a discount. In fact, it takes most of Sunday. That's when anxiety comes creeping in and another countdown begins: 12 hours until Monday. Sure, weekend is free time. But the mounting stress of an incoming Monday can erase any joy you might get from a Sunday evening.
That feeling is so common among the Monday-to-Friday crowd, there's even more than one name for it: the Sunday Scaries, or Sunday Fear Syndrome. Going from a countdown to the weekend to a countdown to Monday can be difficult. Even Monster.com - a website that specializes in yoking humans to the Monday-to-Friday cycle -admits it's a problem. In a survey, Monster found that 76% of Americans have “really bad” Sunday night blues.
For most people, Sunday is no holiday at all. It may all come down to the same problem: We can't stop thinking about tomorrow. Even worse, we may develop some downright unhealthy coping strategies for that transition from weekends to Monday. Some might resist - staying up late, milking every minute of a fleeting Sunday in the form of mind-numbing distractions.
But why should Monday cast such a long and fearful shadow on our lives? Maybe it's because the counter is reset, and the weekend, or happiness, seems at its furthest point. If, like most of us, you have a tolerable job, but don't much like the whole idea of working, there are plenty of ways to make Mondays a little less stressful. Most importantly, don't leave any unsettled Friday business hanging over the weekend. So, clear the decks and tie up loose ends.
【1】What do we know about weekend in paragraph2?
A．It is hard-earned.
B．It doesn't bring joy as expected.
C．It adds to people's anxiety.
D．It provides good time to relax.
【2】Why does the writer mention Monster.com in the text?
A．To support his idea.
B．To clarify a question.
C．To show its popularity.
D．To provide more information.
【3】What does the writer think of the way most people spend the weekend?
A．Tolerant.
B．Conservative.
C．Practical.
D．Unwise.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Why Monday Takes a Bite Out of Sunday
B．Why People Are Stressed Out on Fridays
C．Why a Countdown to the Weekend Is Difficult
D．Why Monday Casts a Fearful Shadow on Our Lives
25、Like many educators, Professor Lorenz was tired of his students scrolling（滚屏）through their phones during class. The students were physically _______but mentally many were miles away — and their class _______ and grades reflected that.
So two years ago, Lorenz used his own money to_______ his students to download a new _______ called Flipd, which monitors the amount of time users spend on their phones. If students used their phones during his classes, Lorenz could see and _______ it, and it affected their final grades.
Flipd was _______ designed as a parental control app. From one phone, a parent could _______ lock a child’s phone. Not surprisingly, that got bad reviews from kids. But then a _______ use for the technology appeared. The app could be used to _______goals for how much time a user wanted to spend off the phone, and then track the person’s minutes away from the ________
Unlike other ________ to smartphone overuse that lock away phones or blame users for time spent online, Flipd________ them for minutes spent offline. Success or failure notifications（通知）let them know if they have met their________ Using Flipd, professors can________ students’ grades to how well they succeed in staying off their phones during classes. In Lorenz’s class, 5 percent of their final grade is cut if they don’t ________ the app.
Although Lorenz met with some ________ at first, “It turned out to be more________ than I thought, ” he said. “Students were excited to use it, especially when I explained to them why we were doing it, that using phones in class means they’re wasting their time and money, and they get lost during lecture time.”
Not all students love it. A small percent ________ to use Flipd, saying it’s an attack on privacy or it ________ too much space on their phone. But many________ him for it.
