Did you know that vocabulary is more important than grammar? If you have good vocabulary, you can communicate successfully   16   the grammar is not completely perfect．

However, one   17   problem is learning new words and then forgetting them． So when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment． Does this often happen to you? The   18   of this difficulty is that most students try to learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words． But it may not   19   if you don’t have a very good memory．

Malaria has been a big problem for humans since ancient times． Usually, people get malaria when infected mosquitoes bite them． Countless people have died from the disease． Luckily, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou found an effective drug called qinghaosu．

In 1969, Tu became the director of a national project to develop a drug for malaria． Her team took a special approach． They studied books about classical Chinese medicine． After reading more than 2,000 old remedies (药方), Tu and her team collected over 600 plants and listed almost 380 possible remedies for malaria． Tu Youyou, the scientist who found an effective drug (药方) against malaria．

One remedy, which is 1,600 years old, uses sweet wormwood as a treatment． Tu found it worked and tried to extract (提取) the qinghaosu from it to make a drug． The extraction failed at first, so Tu returned to the classical books again and finally found a way． She used a low-temperature method to extract the qinghaosu and finally succeeded in 1972．

After her team showed that qinghaosu could treat malaria in mice and monkeys, Tu and two of her coworkers decided to test the drug on themselves before trying it on human patients． It turned out that qinghaosu was safe, and all patients in the test got better． Gradually, qinghaosu became the first-line treatment for malaria recommended by WHO, saving millions of lives around the world．

In 2015, when Tu was given the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, she refused to take all of the praise． Instead, she praised her coworkers and Chinese traditional medicine． She once said, “Every scientist dreams of doing something that can help the world．”

Type in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask the robot to write a bedtime story． Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who clawed his way past many difficulties to sing among the stars．

This robot writer is real． It’s called ChatGPT． From writing Shakespeare-style poetry to making music, ChatGPT has amazed the world since its launch out in late 2022 by the US company OpenAI． OpenAI developed it to generate (生成) human-like texts． It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes． It’s one of the most powerful AI of its kind, with the complete writing abilities of a real person!

People around the world have tried ChatGPT and posted their results on social media． Some used it to write history reports, some asked it to take notes of presentations, and some even generated advice on how to communicate with people at a party, reported The Atlantic．

The power of ChatGPT lies in its speed and understanding of complicated (复杂的) matters． We may spend hours researching, understanding and writing an article on the theory of evolution (进化论)． But ChatGPT can produce a well-written one in seconds． Another good thing about it is that if you ask dark, harmful questions, such as how to make weapons (武器), it will not give you an answer．

ChatGPT comes along at a time when AI is becoming increasingly able to do creative tasks． There is no doubt that ChatGPT is a powerful tool． However, some schools in the US, Australia and France have banned (禁止) the use of ChatGPT． In the US, for example, New York City public schools banned students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the local networks and computers, CNN reported． The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on homework． Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread improper information．

“It does not build critical-thinking (批判性思维) and problem-solving skills, ” said Jenna Lyle, the deputy press secretary of the New York City Department of Education． “The materials they create are difficult to tell from those made by humans． This causes many problems, such as the issue of copyright (版权)． Since the system is largely trained using words from the internet, it can also pick up on the Internet’s biases(偏见) and stereotypes (刻板印象) about certain groups． These are all the things that depend on humans to solve．”

36． The cat story was written to ________．

A． show what creative work ChatGPT can do   B． introduce a cat that wants to go to space

37． What do we know about ChatGPT?

B． It is the most powerful kind of AI．

C． It can write almost anything humans can write．

D． People cannot tell the difference between ChatGPT and humans．

38． Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________．

A． the disadvantages of ChatGPT      B． the most popular use of ChatGPT

C． what people think about ChatGPT D． how ChatGPT has helped people so far

39． Compared with human writing, ChatGPT is ________．

A． faster      B． safer       C． more interesting     D． more difficult

40． What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

A． How people feel about writing in the future．   B． What problems AI writing can cause．

C． People’s wrong ideas about AI writing．     D． Human efforts in developing AI writing．

For middle and primary school students, being able to cook has become a must． They will also need to learn how to plant vegetables, raise poultry (家禽) and maintain home appliances under new requirement, for labor education．

The Ministry of Education (MOE) brought out a new standard for labor education in schools last year． Starting from the 2022 fall semester, students in primary and middle schools have to take courses on labor skills at least once a week． Labor education helps students value hard work． It includes things like household chores (家务), on-campus labor and community volunteer services．

The new standard includes three types of labor tasks． The first is for things like everyday chores, including cleaning, organizing, cooking, and using and maintaining home appliances． Next is productive labor, including agriculture, making traditional handicrafts, and applying new technologies such as 3D printing and laser cutting． The third type is service work, which includes volunteer work,

Schools in China have traditionally placed more focus on studying, and many have seen household chores as a waste of children’s time． But according to the MOE, labor education must be built up to help students cultivate (培养) social values and develop an interest in labor．

Online, people have been busy discussing the new standards on social media．

Liu Fang, a mother of 6-year-old twins in Beijing, strongly supports labor education． For the past year, she has trained her daughters to do household chores and make simple dishes for the family．

“The main idea is to let them share responsibility as family members and become independent as early as they can,” said Liu． “Through doing housework, their hand-eye coordination (协调), time management and organization skills can be trained and it’s also good to help them relax．” Through such education, Liu said her twins have found pleasure when doing chores and are more independent．

根据短文内容和首字母提示，填写所缺单词。

Wuxi city in East China’s Jiangsu province is known as the “Home of the Erhu”, because it is the b  66   of many Erhu masters． Walking around Wuxi, you can often hear the wonderful s  67   of the erhu． The erhu was f  68   called Huqin, a musical instrument in northern China, which dates more than a thousand years back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907)． In modern times, with the development of Chinese operas, the huqin was renamed the erhu and later it s  69   throughout China．

The erhu plays a l  70   role in many Chinese folk orchestras (乐团), just as the violin does in Western orchestras． The erhu and the violin also have s   71   parts, both made up of a body, a bridge, strings and a separate bow．

The player usually holds the erhu on the leg, holding the neck with his left hand and pressing the strings with his f  72  , while drawing the bow with his right hand． As the bow runs a  73   the strings and vibrates (使振动) them, beautiful music leaps out． Not limited by just two strings, a good player can give erhu amazing expression． It can present both soft, lovely tunes, and grave, sorrowful music．

Today, as an oriental folk instrument, crhu can be seen playing on the same stage with various Western instruments, such as piano, violin and guitar, in many international c  74  ． This not only adds new possibilities for music creation, but also brings r  75   enjoyment to the audience (观众)． If you’re interested, you might as well find a piece of crhu music and listen to it!
