21、 The reason why dominant (占支配地位的) men always seem to rise to the top has been uncovered. Researchers say they are able to make decisions far faster than those with nondom-inant personalities. It could explain why so many top CEOs and politicians are known for their dominant personalities.
The study found high-dominance men respond faster in situations where a choice is needed, regardless of social context. Promptness (敏捷) to respond in high-dominance men was accompanied by a noticeably amplified brain signal. In addition, when the researchers analyzed the EEG (脑电图) images of the high-dominance participants, they identified a higher activity in areas of the brain associated with emotion and behavior, compared to low-dominance participants.
This promptness in decision-making can act as a biomarker for social personalities. “Dominance itself depends partly on the ability to make decisions faster than others. This allows the individual to act first in social situations, which might result in an evolutionary advantage.” the team wrote.
They now hope to link these reading to roles such as CEOs, and to find out if the same differences happen in female. and children. “In the future, it will be important to find out whether even stronger brain signals are observed in particularly dominant individuals, such as CEOs,” said Carmen Sandi of the Ecole Poly technique Federale de Lausanne.
She added, “It will also be relevant to understand whether these differences in promptness to respond and brain signals are also observed in women that differ in dominance and whether they are already present in children. Our findings may open a new research approach using EEG signatures as a measure for social dominance.”
The study involved 240 male students at the University of Lausanne who were sorted into high or low dominance groups by a standard “dominance scoring” questionnaire proved in many former studies.
【1】What makes dominant people stand out?
A.Their wiser decisions. B.Their kind personalities.
C.Their high social status. D.Their rapidity of responding.
【2】Which word can replace the underlined word “amplified” in paragraph 2?
A.affected B.adjusted C.enhanced D.controlled
【3】What will the researchers use the findings to do?
A.Save people's life. B.Check on more people.
C.Test the participants' brain. D.Show the effect of dominance.
【4】What can be inferred about the study from the text?
A.It used previous research findings.
B.It involved some women and children.
C.It showed how people became CEOs.
D.It corrected people’s ideas of dominance.
22、The sporty all-electric car from the Netherlands resembles a BMW coupe, but is unique: It captures more carbon than it emits.
“Our end goal is to create a more sustainable future,” said Jens Lahaije, finance manager for TU/ecomotive, the Eindhoven University of Technology student team that created the car.
Called ZEM, for zero emission mobility, the two-seater houses a Cleantron lithium-ion (锂离子) battery pack, and most of its parts are 3D-printed from recycled plastics, Lahaije said. The target is to minimize carbon dioxide emitted during the car’s full lifespan, from manufacturing to recycling, he added.
Battery electric vehicles emit virtually no CO2 during operation compared with fuel vehicles, but battery cell production can create so much pollution that it can take EVs (Electric Vehicles) tens of thousands of miles to achieve “carbon parity (相等)” with comparable fossil-fueled models.
“Direct air capture is a fairly new method of cleaning the air by capturing CO2 into a filter (过滤器). We have made use of this innovative technology and implemented this in our car. The idea is very simple: while we’re driving, air will move through our self-designed filters and the CO2 will be captured and stored.”
ZEM uses two filters that can capture up to 2 kilograms of CO2 over 20,000 miles of driving, the Eindhoven team estimated. They imagine a future when filters can be emptied at charging stations.
The students are showing their vehicle on a US promotional tour to universities and companies from the East Coast to Silicon Valley.

A．The four-seater is equipped with a lithium-ion battery pack.
B．All of its parts are modern plastics.
C．The process of manufacturing the car creates little pollution.
D．The CO2 can be caught and stored while we’re driving.
【2】What does the underlined word “emit” mean in paragraph 4?

C．put aside
D．clear off
【3】What is the main idea of paragraph 5?
A．What challenges the students met.
B．How the students got this idea.
C．How this innovative technology works.
D．How this technology can be improved.
【4】What’s the best title for this passage?
A．A Newly-invented Sporty Car Has Gained Great Popularity.
B．All-electric Car or Fuel-engine Car?
C．Dutch Students Devise Carbon-eating Electric Vehicle.
D．The Advantages of the Sporty All-electric Car.
23、Two men walk to the edge of the sea. They drop their heavy loads on the sand. They forget how hot and tired they are and run into the sea. They play in the water.
These tired men are happy because one of them has just become the first person to walk from the start of the Amazon River to the ocean. His name is Ed Stafford. The other man’s name is Cho Sanchez. Cho has been with Ed for the final two years of the walk. He helped Ed to find a way through the dense forests of three South American countries: Peru, Columbia and Brazil.
The Amazon is about 6, 500 kilometres long. Ed’s walk started in April 2008 at the beginning of the river-high in the mountains of Peru. It ended two and a half years later in August 2010 in Brazil where the river flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
Along the way Ed Stafford faced cold snow and high mountain paths. But most of the walk was through hot, wet forests. They faced many dangers from wild animals. But the big danger for ED and Cho came from people. Most of the people they met on their long walk were friendly. They gave Ed and Cho food and shelter. But some people were afraid of Ed because he has a white skin. They had heard stories that white people would eat their babies or steal their heads and other parts of their bodies.
Ed understood the people’s fear. He says, “They only wanted to protect their land and the way they live. When they know there is no danger they are very kind.”
On his walk Ed saw that many trees had been cut down. This made him very sad. Too many trees are being destroyed, and this is changing the climate of the world.
Ed Stafford did something no one else has achieved. Now he wants to tell people all around the world about the dangers we face from destroying the forests of Peru and Brazil.
【1】Why were the local people afraid of Ed?
A．Ed was a danger to them.
B．Ed looked strange to them.
C．They saw white people do cruel things.
D．They had misunderstanding of white people.
【2】What is Ed’s attitude towards the people’s fear?
A．Surprised.
B．Puzzled.
C．Concerned.
D．Reasonable.
【3】What could be Ed’s purpose of walking down the Amazon?
A．To help the local people.
B．To find a way to pass the Amazon.
C．To help protect the environment of the Amazon.
D．To learn about the cultures of the local people.
【4】What could be the best title for the text?
A．Two Brave Explorers
B．The Amazon Walk
C．Protection of the Amazon
D．The Importance of the Amazon
24、Zwingmann teaches online courses on AI and helps clients make use of artificial intelligence. Lately, he has been generating lecture notes using ChatGPT. “I went up and said, ‘OK, tell me a detailed step by step of how the DBSCAN algorithm works,’ and it gave me that step by step,” Zwingmann said.
The AI chatbot ChatGPT Zwingmann uses has taken the internet by storm. It allows users to input questions that ask the conversational assistant to create a series of writing tasks. Although the chatbot is still in its infancy, ChatGPT has the potential to be a game-changer for the whole world.
The GPT stands for “Generative Pre-trained Transformer”, providing detailed answers to users’ questions. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer follow up questions, challenge incorrect statements and reject inappropriate requests.
If you have a passion for writing but aren’t sure how to add a touch of elegance to your words, ChatGPT can help! If you want to create your personal web page but know little about HTML code, ChatGPT can generate the code for you! Even if you are an experienced developer, ChatGPT can help you analyze the code and provide a detailed explanation of the error along with suggestions for how to fix it.
Despite looking very impressive, ChatGPT still has limitations. Such limitations include the inability to answer questions that are worded a specific way and the lack of quality in the responses it delivers, which sometimes seem to be reasonable but make no practical sense. With its widespread use, there is growing concern about how the tool might be used to help students create essays for class assignments.
So how good is it at producing literary works in the style of a news article? And how does its writing live up to the likes of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, or a film producer like Ben Affleck? Judge for yourself.
【1】What’s the function of paragraph 1?
A．To promote an online course teacher.
B．To explain how lecture notes are made.
C．To offer background information about AI.
D．To introduce an AI chatbot with an example.
【2】What can we learn about ChatGPT in paragraphs 3 & 4?
A．It gives the user an answer of good quality.
B．It makes up a dialogue with questions input.
C．It aids code developers in recognizing errors.
D．It functions by collecting complex questions.
【3】What is the author’s attitude to the AI chatbot?
A．Cautious.
B．Favorable.
C．Negative.
D．Concerned.
【4】What’s the article about?
A．The limitations of ChatGPT.
B．The application of ChatGPT.
C．The importance of ChatGPT.
D．The development of ChatGPT.
25、 There’s a program for middle schools called Treps that teaches kids about business and product development. The students are given the task to learn to ________ products on their own, and at the end of the program the school gym is ________ up like a trade show where all the kids get to sell the products. They each get a ________, make signs and dress up a little. The school gym is________ to the public and attracts a crowd.
Some of the kids there ________ have a crowd at their stand, because the products made by themselves are unique and interesting.

At first, they stand there with a ________face but later you can see the ________ in their eyes because everyone walks by the stands uninterested. I always think it ________ to visit the stands of those kids, buy something, and________ them for how hard they must have worked on it. Just the confirmation that someone likes what they make and notices their effort can ________ them. I usually bring $100 to this event merely for this ________. As the night goes on, ________ they still haven’t sold much, I will send my daughter over there to buy something from them.
The other day, as an education expert, I was ________ with some parents about this. They asked me why I encouraged the kids who made terrible products, saying “________ confirmation means they won’t learn anything”. I told them, “These kids know their products aren’t a ________, but that doesn’t mean they should ________. It takes courage to ________ there and try to sell their products. If nobody buys anything, or nobody ______ their effort, they will probably quit next time.” Hearing these, all the parents agreed.
