Here’re some of the excellent inventions in 2023. Which one do you like most?
Whiter Paint
The paint on a white building reflects 80 to 90% of the sunlight that strikes it. The rest of the light warms the
surrounding area, raising air-conditioning bills. But the Whiter Paint is made of chemicals that better reflect UV rays.
It reflects up to 98% of the sunlight, which could reduce AC use by 40%. “The heat is reflected into deep space,” says
Xiulin Ruan, who led the Purdue University team that created the paint.
Duolingo app
Now you can take music lessons on a smartphone, using this app, which uses an on-screen piano to teach basics
such as harmony and beat. You learn by interacting with more than 200 popular pieces of music. Just match sounds to
notes and play along. “You don’t need natural talent to learn music,” says Karen Chow, who’s a learning scientist at
Duolingo.
Model A
Model A, developed by Alef Aeronautics, is a two-seat all-electric vehicle with a flight range of 110 miles. And
it looks as if it were made to be parked in a garage. In July, 2023, the Federal Aviation Administration gave Alef
permission to take the vehicle on test flights. The company hopes to deliver the first Model A by 2026.
Moonwalkers
They’re actually battery-powered shoes with wheels. They let you walk normally—just faster and more easily.
Moonwalkers, made by Shift Robotics, use AI to sense when you’re speeding up or slowing down, and adjust
themselves accordingly. With it, you can walk at speeds up to seven miles per hour.
21. What is special about Whiter Paint?
A. It warms our buildings. B. It powers air conditioners.
C. It makes us feel cooler. D. It absorbs more sunlight.
22. Which one is being tested?
A. Whiter Paint. B. Duolingo app.
C. Moonwalkers. D. Model A.
23. What do the listed inventions have in common?
A. They are supported by AI technology. B. They can help us live an easier life.
C. They were created by college teams. D. They are favored by the disabled.

Geoffrey Holt was a “nobody” in the public eye. He worked in his eighties as a caretaker at a mobile home park
in Hinsdale, New Hampshire.
Holt collected hundreds of model cars and train sets that filled his rooms. He also collected books about history,
with Henry Ford and World War II among his favorite topics. Holt had an extensive record collection too, including
Handel and Mozart. Very often, he’d find a quiet place and study financial publications.
After retiring, Holt did various jobs for others. Despite having taught driver’s education course to high schoolers,
he’d given up driving a car. He opted for a bicycle instead and finally the mower (除草机). His mobile home in the
park was mostly empty of furniture—no TV and no computer, either. The legs of the bed went through the floor.
But Holt did have two things. He had a big secret and an even bigger heart. He passed away in early 2023. In a
move that surprised the tiny town of 4,200 people, he left all his worldly goods to the people of Hinsdale.
With his casual lifestyle, no one would have guessed that Holt had a wealth worth up to $3.8 million! Holt, who
earlier in life had worked as a production manager at a grain factory that closed down in nearby Brattleboro, Vermont,
spent his money on communications, hoping to earn more out of it. In the end, it was doing better than he’d ever
expected.
Holt grew up in Springfield, Massachusetts. His father, Lee Holt, was a professor who taught English and world
literature in a college. His mother, Margaret Holt, was an artist. Holt went to boarding schools and attended the former
Marlboro College in Vermont, where students had self-designed degree plans. He graduated in 1963 and earned a
master’s degree from the college where his father taught in 1968.
Undoubtedly, Holt will be remembered forever.
24. What can we learn about Holt?
A. He had a wide range of interests. B. He had always longed to be a driver.
C. He possessed a mobile home park. D. He was often out of job while young.
25. How did Holt accumulate his wealth?
A. By gaining his parents’ help. B. By doing business in a field.
C. By setting up a grain factory. D. By working hard after retiring.
26. What does the last but one paragraph focus on about Holt?
A. His father’s education concept. B. His educational experiences.
C. His parents’ love for him. D. His early work dreams.
27. Which best describes Holt?
A. Simple but other-centered. B. Serious but straightforward.
C. Daring and demanding. D. Easygoing and ambitious.
C
For the second year in a row, the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) has started the program
AdoptAxolotl to boost conservation efforts for axolotls, an endangered Mexican salamander (蝾螈).
Most salamanders go through a big change which allows them to live on land instead of in water. But axolotls
never do. They live their whole lives in the water. Axolotls are famous for their ability to cure themselves. If an
axolotl loses a leg, or even part of its heart, brain, or lungs, it can re-grow them. Scientists have long been interested in
how the axolotl does this, thinking the information could help solve some human medical problems.
There’re several different kinds of axolotls in Mexico, all of whom are seriously endangered. The Mexican
axolotl, which is the best-known, is only found naturally in Lake Xochimilco near Mexico City. This is not a big, open
lake, but a collection of canals and smaller bodies of water.
Sadly, the number of axolotls in Xochimilco has dropped 99.5% in less than 20 years. People don’t hunt them,
then, how does this happen? One is that the water in the canals has become more and more polluted. Another is that
there’re a number of fish from other places in the lake which are eating the axolotl’s food, and even their babies.
Last year, the UNAM scientists started AdoptAxolotl, asking people to donate to save the axolotl. They raised
over $26,000, which is being used to help clean up some of Xochimilco’s canals and for a program to raise axolotls in
a safe environment.
This year, the scientists are trying AdoptAxolotl again. The money raised will be used to support the scientists’
work, and help restore the axolotl’s natural home in the canals of Xochimilco. The scientists hope to raise enough
money to do a careful count of how many axolotls are left in the wild, which will help them figure out the best ways
of protecting these amazing creatures.
28. What is the potential advantage of axolotls?
A. Becoming healthy naturally again. B. Offering humans some medical tips.
C. Adapting themselves to living on land. D. Living a normal life though disabled.
29. What is a cause of the axolotl population decline in Xochimilco?
A. Lack of land where they find food. B. Popularity of people hunting them.
C. Loss of the waters where they live. D. Presence of many non-native fish.
30. What are the scientists trying to do about axolotls?
A. Count their numbers and classify them.
B. Build more lakes and canals for them.
C. Remove them out of Lake Xochimilco.
D. Improve their living environment.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Protecting Axolotls Is in Progress
B. Axolotls’Homes Are Polluted
C. AdoptAxolotl Campaign Is Beneficial
D. Scientists Are Worrying Axolotls
D
New research concludes people may struggle to differentiate between medical advice given by chatbots (聊天机
器人) and human health care providers. Findings indicate chatbots, like ChatGPT, could be valuable tools in assisting
healthcare providers in communicating with patients.
ChatGPT is trained to predict the most probable next word in a conversation using vast amounts of Internet data.
It responds to user enquiries, learning from human feedback. However, it’s not without limitations. ChatGPT, like
other large language models (LLMs), can sometimes produce biased information and lacks the ability to perform true
reasoning.
The research had 392 participants aged 18 and above who were presented with ten patient questions. Half of the
responses to these questions were given by humans, while the other half came from ChatGPT. Participants then had to
identify the origin of each response and rate their trust in the chatbot’s answers from “completely untrustworthy” to
“completely trustworthy”. Participants could only correctly identify chatbot-given responses 65.5% of the time.
Participants displayed the most trust in chatbots when handling the matters, such as scheduling appointments or
addressing insurance enquiries, with an average trust score of 3.94. Preventative care questions, like cancer
screenings, came next at 3.52. However, trust decreased for diagnostic (诊断) and treatment advice, registering scores
of 2.90 and 2.89 respectively.
The study’s results indicate the potential chatbots possess in aiding patient-provider communications, especially
in areas like administrative tasks. But scientists have something to say regarding chatbots assuming more clinical
roles. “Providers should exercise picky judgment when it comes to chatbot-given advice due to the limitations of AI
models,” researchers said in a statement.
The use of Al into healthcare is no longer a distant possibility but a rapidly evolving reality. This study offers a
glimpse (瞥 见 ) into the ways we can expect to see AI platforms team with medical clinics. It also shows us
improvements that are needed so that new technologies become effective aids and tools for both doctors and patients.
These include the following.
32. Which is closest in meaning to “biased” in paragraph 2?
A. Inaccurate. B. Indirect. C. Unnecessary. D. Unusual.
33. What affected the participants’ level of trust in chatbot responses?
A. Their answers to chatbots’ questions. B. Their then physical conditions.
C. The origin of each response. D. The nature of the enquiry.
34. What’s the scientists’ attitude to chatbots taking on clinical medical tasks?
A. Disapproving. B. Unclear. C. Conservative. D. Positive.
35. What might the author continue talking about regarding the study?
A. Possible reasons for its findings. B. Its major limitations in reality.
C. Its influences on healthcare. D. Explanations of its methods.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When people in your organization come to you to discuss a problem, you give them your best answer and
probably assume you’ve helped them.
36 You’re not being much help if you’re not really listening to them. We’re not talking about the mere
act of listening, but the art of listening, known as active listening. How can you become a more effective listener?
Here are some tips:
Be present. 37 . There’re so many things that make you lose focus in the office—many of them tech-
related, like instant messaging and email—that you almost can’t help but half listen to anyone who speaks to you,
whether it’s in person or by phone. What you need to do is purposefully practice active listening by bringing yourself
fully into the conversation. 38 .
Give the other person your undivided attention. It shows respect and can have a positive impact on your entire
exchange. It also means you’re less likely to misunderstand, or simply miss, what the person is saying to you. 39
when a customer or coworker is telling you about a problem you already know how to solve before they’ve finished
speaking. But part of active listening means you need to let them complete their full “download” to you before you
respond.
Understand nonverbal (非语言) changes. 40 , but good listeners will also sense what is not being said, as
well as what is verbalized. Learning how to read physical cues, such as facial expressions, takes practice. Improving
these active listening skills will help you get the message and resolve problems faster.
A. Well, it may not be that simple
B. Listening naturally means hearing
C. Of course, it’s easy to become impatient
D. Wait for an appropriate moment to politely ask a question
E. Be mindful and concentrate on the message, word for word
F. Truly hearing what the speaker has to say requires your full attention
G. Good active listening skills apply when you’re communicating with others

China”.
The purpose of this event was to encourage students to have a deeper understanding of Chinese history and
spread Chinese culture, as well as help them develop the habit of reading. During the activity, the students carried out
various forms of reports about their reading achievements. Some students shared their experiences in reading classic
Chinese books such as Shiji, some students showed their reading notes, and others talked about their reading methods.
Through this amazing event, every student feels they have gained a lot about Chinese culture, hoping that such
