Have you ever paid attention to your school’s security guards (保安) or dining hall staff (职员)? Would you say “good morning” to your school’s cleaners? For high school student Ding Jiacheng, it’s a problem that many students ignore (忽视) the important jobs done by these non-teaching workers． He wanted to make a change．

The boy from Hangzhou Entel Foreign Language School, together with several other students, worked on a project called “The Invisible (隐身的) are Significant”． They hoped more students would see and respect the “invisible” staff on campus． The project won a prize at China Thinks Big, a competition held by Harvard University and Tsinghua University to encourage teenagers to study social issues．

“My team members and I sent questionnaires (问卷) to 158 students,” said Ding． “In one question, 56 percent of the students said they would greet those non-teaching workers, while only 17 percent strongly believe that every student should do so．”

The team also observed interactions (互动) between students and workers． “When most students follow the rules of their teachers, one-third of the students go against the rules of the dormitory attendants (宿舍管理员),” said Ding． “It shows that students treat non-teaching staff differently from teaching staff．”

The main reason, according to Ding, is that students know little about the work done by non-teaching staff． They also have few chances to communicate with them． Therefore, Ding’s team shot videos to show staff working around campus． They also held a basketball match between students and non-teaching staff to increase their interaction．

“We’ve also made a series of stickers (贴纸),” said Ding． “We hope these cute images will help young people like the non-teaching staff more．”

“The activity helped me understand that we can all make a positive impact (积极影响) through our creative ideas,” said Ding．

36． Why did Ding Jiacheng and his teammates start the project “The Invisible are Significant”?

A． To win a prize at the competition China Thinks Big．

B． To help non-teaching staff at his school find other jobs．

C． So more students would see and respect non-teaching workers．

D． To draw students’ attention to important social issues．

37． What does the underlined word “significant” mean in Paragraph 2?

A． Interesting．              B． Important．                C． Imaginative．             D． Creative．

38． What are Paragraphs 3—4 mainly about?

A． What jobs non-teaching workers do．

B． How asking questions helps students learn．

C． How Ding’s team worked on their project．

D． Why many students don’t follow school rules．

39． According to the passage, what did Ding’s team do to help other students know more about the non-teaching staff on their campus?

a． They made posters．                 b． They shot videos．

c． They made a series of stickers．         d． They held a basketball match．

A． abc                            B． abd                            C． acd                            D． bcd

40． What can we learn from the passage?

A． High school students care more about the non-teaching staff．

B． Students should treat non-teaching staff the same as teaching staff．

C． Better communication can help students value the teaching staff．

D． Young people love to make stickers of the people around them．

D

ChatGPT, a smart AI chat-bot（聊天机器人）tool, has swept the education world in the past months． According to a US survey of more than 1, 000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with a homework task．

Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT is a powerful tool． You can ask it to write stories and emails, create food menu, translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions．

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 district’s networks and devices（设备）, CNN reported．

The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat（作弊）on study． Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread wrong information．

“It does not build critical-thinking（批判性思维）and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for academic（学术的）and lifelong success,” said Jenna Lyle, the deputy press secretary of the New York City Department of Education．

Apart from bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to stop the use of ChatGPT． Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones, The New York Times reported．

However, not all educators say “no” to ChatGPT． Some Canadian universities are drafting （起草）policies on its use, for both students and teachers． They have no plans to completely ban the tool so far．

Bhaskar Vira, headmaster for education at the University of Cambridge in the UK, said that bans on AI software like ChatGPT are not wise． “We have to know that AI is a tool people will use,” he told Varsity, the school newspaper of the university． What we need to do is “adapt（调整）our learning, teaching and examinations”． That way, we can “have integrity（诚信）while recognizing（辨认）the use of the tool”．

41． Some schools in the US banned the use of ChatGPT because ________．

A． students may use it to cheat on homework              B． it rarely provides correct information

C． it takes the place of teachers                                  D． it takes up most of the district’s networks

42． Jenna Lyle thinks that ________．

A． ChatGPT is necessary for academic and lifelong success

B． using ChatGPT is not good for developing students’ minds

C． ChatGPT is so far the smartest AI chat-bot tool

D． ChatGPT might offer the wrong information

43． What did the educators in the US do to avoid the use of ChatGPT?

a． They stopped students’ use of the tool．

b． They learned to recognize papers written by ChatGPT．

c． They changed the forms of assignment（作业）．

d． They suggested laws to ban the use of ChatGPT．

A． ab                              B． ac                              C． bc                              D． cd

44． Which opinion is NOT mentioned in the story?

A． Using ChatGPT makes students lazy in thinking．

B． The complete ban on using ChatGPT is not wise．

C． ChatGPT will completely change present education．

D． ChatGPT may be used for both teachers and students．

45． The passage is probably from ________．

A． Sports and fitness                                                 B． Health and diet

C． Cultural exchange                                                D． Science and education

It’s hard to turn down a tasty banana． They taste good and you don’t have to wash them before eating them． However, British scientists say that the fruit may die out by 2050．

One reason for this is the weather change． Scientists at the University of Exeter collected numbers from 27 countries and places that produce 86 percent of the world’s bananas． They found that weather change has made growing conditions in 21 of these countries better． In the past 60 years, the average yield（平均产量）has reached 1．37 tons of bananas per hectare（每公顷）．

However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear． Ten of the countries, including India, the world’s biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas． By 2050, the fruit may die out．

Shouldn’t bananas grow more easily if it’s hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature for growing bananas is between 24℃ and 32℃． If the temperature gets too high, they will stop growing．

Diseases are another danger to bananas． Unlike other plants, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings（茎段）rather than seeds． This means that all banana plants have the same genotype （基因型）． In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all．

One serious disease is called Panama． Caused by fungus（真菌）in the soil, it spreads easily． It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia． If one banana farm catches the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again． Have the scientists found a cure for this disease yet? No．

二、单项选择

1． C

【解析】

【详解】句意：——你看过张译主演的电视剧《他是谁》吗？——当然。我从未见过如此精彩的电视剧。

考查冠词。a一，用于辅音音素前；an一，用于元音音素前；the表示特指；/不填。第一个空处特指《他是谁》这部电视剧，应用the表示特指；第二个空处泛指“一部电视剧”，amazing是元音音素开头，应用an。故选C。

2． B

【解析】

【详解】句意：——这些天天气不太热，也不太冷。让我们去琴湖野餐吧。——好的。

考查连词辨析。either．．．or要么……要么；neither．．．nor既不……也不；not only．．．but also不但……而且；both．．．and两者都。根据“Let’s go to Qinhu Lake for a picnic．”可知要去野餐，可见天气不太冷，也不太热。故选B。
