What could I see during my short stay in Milan? One answer came into my mind as our taxi went past Duomo di Milano, the largest cathedral (教堂) in Italy.①The next morning my family and I made our way to the cathedral. It was just a five-minute walk from our hotel. On the roof, there are many statues (雕像). They are all about characters from Bible (圣经). Although many look lovely, I felt kind of scared when I saw a scary one. We climbed to the roof. There, we had an amazing view of the city and took lots of photos. Inside, we enjoyed the beautiful glass windows.①We then walked to the La Scala, Milan’s world-famous opera house. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the inside is wonderful. Most of the greatest singers of the past 200 years sang there.①Between the Duomo di Milano and La Scala is the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II hallway. We went there from the opera house. Some of the top fashion brands (品牌) have shops there. The only thing we could afford to buy was ice-cream. We waited in line, watching the server make it look like a rose. It tasted great, just like yogurt.①Milan’s other famous spots, such as da Vinci’s famous painting The Last Supper will have to wait. Milan is sure in my plan for another trip.4．Where can the visitors go if they want to buy things of top fashion brands?A．To La Scala.B．To opera house.C．To Duomo di Milano.D．To the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II hallway.5．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 4?A．Rose.B．Line.C．Ice-cream.D．Yogurt. 6．What did the writer do in Milan?a.

If you lost it, what would you do to get it back? Liu Mengjie found his own answers to these questions.①Liu Mengjie was from Taiwan. He started to learn to play the piano at a very young age. He was such a talent that he was accepted into a music school at only 13. He left his home to study at the Curtis Institute of Music in Pennsylvania. Liu became one of the teachers after he graduated in 1993. That was the same year that he became famous in the music world.①When Liu was 23, just a few years after an outstanding performance, he came down with a serious illness. He had a difficult time walking and his heart even stopped beating. The worst part was that he couldn’t move his fingers. The doctor said, “I am sorry. I am afraid you have to say goodbye to your piano forever.”①However, Liu surprised everyone. He practiced his fingers very hard every day after he spent one month learning how to sit up. With strong will, he kept on with hiscareer as an excellent pianist. “I feel full and alive. Looking back on this journey, I want to say thanks and I have found the true meaning of life: be strong and stick to (坚持) your dream.”8．Why was Liu Mengjie accepted into a music school at only 13?A．Because he couldn’t live without playing the piano.B．Because he was pretty talented in playing the piano.C．Because he started to learn piano when he was very young.D．Because he had to leave his home to study in a new school.9．What can we infer (推断) from the doctor’s words in Paragraph.3?A．Even after Liu Mengjie got better, he couldn’t play the piano anymore.B．It will be good for Liu Mengjie’s health if he stops playing the piano.C．Liu Mengjie could keep on playing the piano after he got better.D．It will be impossible for Liu Mengjie to be well again.10．How did Liu Mengjie feel after he kept on as an excellent pianist?A．Thankful.B．Relaxed.C．Empty.D．Tired. 11．Which is the best title (标题) for this passage?A．A Serious IllnessB．A Man of Talent and StrengthC．A Talented PianistD．A Dream in Music①As a powerful chatting robot, ChatGPT becomes really popular. It is a large language model created by OpenAI and it is one of the most wonderful AI models now. It brings big changes to people’s life in many ways, especially education.①It helps students learn in lots of personal ways. With its excellent machine learning ability, ChatGPT can know very well about each student. So it can provide students with customized (定制的) learning materials (资料). Also, students can ask it for help with their homework. For example, a student may ask, “How to find information about the history of soccer?” ChatGPT will list the names of books,museums and key websites in a few seconds (秒). By searching (搜索) on these websites, students will have a clear understanding of soccer.①For teaching. ChatGPT is a window to a large number of teaching resources (资源). It makes teachers rethink the working ways. Many kinds of easy daily work, such as test papers, planning lessons and analyzing questionnaires (分析问卷), can be done more quickly. In this way, teachers can spend more time on more complex tasks, like designing classroom activities and making teaching plans.①However, every coin has two sides. Some teachers say that ChatGPT isn’t good for the development of students’ creative thinking. It may turn students into “mindless searching machines”. The teachers also worry that with the wide use of ChatGPT, the results of education may not be as good as before.①“ChatGPT can help our teachers and students understand the power of technology,” says Ellen Meier, an engineer in the ChatGPT research team. “However,” she adds, “it should not replace the roles of teachers or students in the classroom.”12．How many personal ways can ChatGPT help students with their study in?A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five. 13．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．ChatGPT is the most wonderful AI model now.B．Teachers can get few teaching resources from ChatGPT.C．Teachers think ChatGPT can make students' creative thinking better.D．Students will understand well of soccer after searching on the websites. 14．What does the underlined word “complex” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Slow.B．Quick.C．Difficult.D．Easy. 15．Which of the following ideas may Ellen Meier agree with?A．It will be better for teachers to use ChatGPT more In the future.B．Students need to use ChatGPT as much as possible in the future.C．Technology should take the place of teachers in teaching in the future.D．Students can understand the importance of technology by using ChatGPT.阅读下文，请从A一F选项中选出符合第1-5题的最佳中心句。

One day, after a day’s work, his old truck doesn’t work. When I drive him home, he sits quietly.When we get to his house he asks me to come in to meet his family. When we walk to the front door, he stops at a small tree and touches the branches (树枝) with both hands. When he is opening the door, he has a quite different look. He smiles and hugs his two small children and gives his wife a kiss.Later, he walks me to the car. When we pass the tree, I ask him about what he does at the little tree.“Oh, that’s my trouble tree,” he says.“I know I can’t help having troubles on the job, but those troubles aren’t for the house or for my wife and the children. So I put them down to the tree every night when I come home. Then, in the morning, I pick them up again.”“Funny thing is,” he smiles, “when I come out in the morning to pick up those problems, there aren’t as man y as I remember putting down the night before.”71.

What can we learn from the story?A. Small trees help you with big problems.B. Don’t be unhappy when you’re in trouble.C. There aren’t any real problems in life.D. Don’t bring work trouble home to your family.CIt is quite strange that when you walk into a store, but you see no shop assistants inside. You pick up things and get ready to wait in line and pay. But it’s also odd that there’s no shopkeeper waiting for you to check out (结账). So what has happened to this store?Well, you may have come into Tao Café, a cashless store designed by Alibaba. The store sells drinks, fast food and snacks. 50 shoppers can go shopping in the store at a time. To get in and shop, people only need a smartphone with a Taobao app and an Alipay account.By scanning (扫描) their Taobao QR code (二维码), shoppers can get into the store. The store has also got the infor mation of all things and their places on the shelves. So when shoppers pick up the things they want, the store itself will can “watch” and “remember” their choice.When shoppers are ready to leave, they don’t wait in line to pay. Instead, they go through two checkout doors. Then the bills will soon be paid with a Taobao account through Alipay.According to Alibaba, the checkout machines can recognize (识别) things of the store even when shoppers put them in pockets or bags. So it is almost impossible to take things away from the store without paying.76.

They don't study but they travel together. Dolphins are mammals, not fish, but they swim together in a school.Dolphins talk to other dolphins in the school. They give information. They tell when they are happy or sad or afraid. They say welcome when a dolphin comes back to the school. They talk when they play.They make a few sounds above water. They make many more sounds under water. People can't hear these sounds because they are very high. Scientists make tapes of the sounds and study them.
