Finally, after nearly half a month, the Christmas letter was here in my hand. Yes, writing letters is how my

friend in the U.S. and I 1 our greetings every Christmas. People ask why not send our greetings on

Facebook, or on WeChat 2 , and by the way, it'll save money. For me, writing letters is more of a 3

habit than a quirk (怪癖) in modern times. I, an experienced letter writer, can tell you that writing letters brings

me more emotional(情感的) communication.

In fact, only parts of our emotions can be found. Some 4 in California State University found that

electronic devices, like smart phones, can greatly influence people in many ways. Such devices prevent people

from 5 their inner (内心的) feelings. Compared with modern communication, writing letters has more

advantages. 6 we write, our brain is given the chance to discover connections between things we didn’t

see before. And we are 7 to show our emotions fully.

If I am here to tell you why I love writing letters, one of the 8 would be its sense of touch-feeling of

my hand running through the pages, feeling of pen sliding across the paper, and feeling of the 9 of ink (墨

水) in the air.

Recently, the topic about ChatGPT is quite hot. It was released(发布)by a company called OpenAI last

year. Is ChatGPT going to change the world? Let's learn what exactly it is.

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a computer program that can understand and reply to human language. It can be used for

things like having a conversation or finishing a sentence. Even this sentence that you are reading now was

written by ChatGPT.

That's right—I asked ChatGPT to write a paragraph including a basic

explanation of ChatGPT in simple terms（措辞） and it came up with that

explanation of itself on its own.

What's amazing is that it seems to be a human in its ability to understand

questions and answer them well. “Write a story about Boris Johnson in the style

of Roald Dahl, ”you can ask it, and it'll show you a pretty good children's story.

“Write a list of reasons why London is better than New York, ”and it'll explain how London is more historic

and has better public transport.

One area where I've found it mostly useful is that it can write computer code(代码). Unlike the English

language, when you write code, it has to be very exact and carefully structured—but when I asked ChatGPT to

write me a program that would put some data into a database(数据库)for me, within seconds it showed

something that would have taken me hours to do manually.

▲

It isn't, however, completely human-like. For example, it sometimes shows things that sound true, but are

just nonsense. And it can't do maths. Though it is better at some tasks than others, its ability to rhyme still

needs to be improved.

It doesn't replace(取代)the human completely, but it does many things quicker. In the same way, it's easy

to imagine in the future every time we write something, we may have an unbelievably smart AI helper helping

us get started. So I completely believe that ChatGPT—or something like it—is going to change the world. Our

computers will no longer be just a machine, but our partner too. So, maybe now you have to worry about

whether you can keep your job.

4. Which of the following is NOT true about ChatGPT?

A. It can write a computer program within several seconds.

B. It is released by a company called OpenAI last year.

C. It'll replace the human completely in the future in all fields.

D. It's a computer program that can understand human's language.

5. How does the writer develop the part of “What is ChatGPT?”?

A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers. C. By making charts. D. By asking questions.

6. Which of the following can be the subtitle (小标题)in the ▲ .part?

A. The advantages of ChatGPT B. The limitations of ChatGPT

C. The introductions of ChatGPT D. The purposes of ChatGPT

7. What might the writer continue to write at the end of the passage?

A. The risks ChatGPT brings to our job. B. The influences ChatGPT has on our bodies.

C. The reasons why we refuse to use ChatGPT. D. The problems we may face while using ChatGPT.

五、任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)

【A】

Most of us have made an exercise plan, but only a few can follow it. WebMD（an

American website） has listed the following tips for making exercise a habit in your life.

1. Do activities you enjoy.

Remember, there's no rule that says you have to go to a sports centre or buy

equipment like swimming suits. Many types of activities, such as push﹣up（俯卧撑）,

can be done whenever it is rainy or snowy.

2. Exercise after work.

Don't go home first. Few people are so motivated（有动力的） that they will go out again and exercise

after they go home and change clothes.

3. Exercise even when you are tired.

Tiredness is not an excuse. While exercising, you breathe deeply and your body makes better use of the

oxygen exchange. Then, you will feel energetic.

4. Notice that you are better than before.

It's great when your clothes fit better, you can lift heavier things or take exercise longer. There's

something good too, like getting a good night's sleep or thinking more clearly.

5. Walk with a pedometer（计步器）

Not everyone can start out with 10,000 steps a day. Use a pedometer, and find out your daily steps. And

then, try your best to walk 300 extra steps each day. Finally, you can reach 10,000 steps a day.

阅读以上信息,用恰当的单词完成下面的短文,每空一词.

According to WebMD, there are some easy ways to make exercise a , when you do activities

Food waste is a world's problem. Every year, about 1.3 billion tons, or one﹣third of all the food produced

is thrown away, according to a just 25 percent of that wasted food could feed 870million hungry

people,which would end world hunger. The people of France wasted 234 pounds（磅：重量单位） of food per

person,which is much better than some other countries. In the past, France wasn't good at controlling food

waste, but now the country takes the lead.

A law was made by French government. It made France the first country in the world to prevent

supermarkets from throwing away unused food. Now supermarkets of a certain size must donate unused food,

or they will face a fine. There are other rules requiring schools to teach students about food sustainability（可持

续性）.They also ask companies to report the food waste numbers in their environmental reports. And
