17、arking charges apply for non-National Trust members.While getting out into nature has lots of benefits,sometimes you need an extra activity to keep things interesting.For example,the Woodland Trust is hosting a tree planting event at Yonder Oak Wood,near Exmouth in Devon.There are morning and aftern

23、p.While we sleep,our brains fire up and become highly active;in hibernation,on the contrary,brain activity completely slows down.The body temperature of hibernating animals also drops,in some cases close to the freezing point.Cells(细胞)stop dividing and heart rate decreases to two beats per minute.Ye
24、t,once its time to wake up,hibernating animals come back to life without any significant side effects like freezing,muscle loss,or loss of bone density during the long winter months.The same,however,cant be said about people who wake up from long-term medical comas(昏迷),or even those who have to stay
25、 in bed for long periods of time.Such people,just like astronauts in microgravity,would suffer from a wide range of side effects that come from not actively using their bodies.Scientists are therefore looking into hibernation research with the aim of developing ways to cause hibernation in future sp
26、ace astronauts.Recently,Kelly Drew,a professor of chemistry and biochemistry,has been rewarded for his research.The idea is that rather than having astronauts sit for months in a tiny Mars-bound capsule,consuming food,water and air,and gradually wasting away from not doing much in microgravity,a par
27、t of the crew members could be placed into hibernation.The hibernating astronauts wouldnt need any food or water and could manage with much less air yet they would wake up with their bones and muscles in a much better condition than those of their awake counterparts.“This research could be used to h
28、elp future missions,from the extreme of medically caused hibernation for long term space missions,protecting astronauts from cabin fever,radiation,and much more,”he said.“It could also prove effective in preventing muscle and bone loss in zero gravity.”The state of hibernation could also help in the
29、 medical setting to help protect patients suffering from life-threatening conditions such as heart attacks and strokes.“This could mean that patients who have suffered from a stroke or heart attack could be placed in medically caused hibernation until they can be transported to a hospital to receive
30、 care,which could significantly improve medical outcomes,”the scientist said.37.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 1?A.The working principles of hibernation.B.The unique features of hibernation.C.The major reasons for hibernation.D.The side effects of hibernation.38.What does the underlined wo
31、rd“counterparts”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Bones and muscles.B.Brains.C.Astronauts.D.Patients.39.What will scientists probably do in the future research?A.Study hibernating animals in space missions.B.Find ways to put people into hibernation.C.Improve medical treatments for patients.D.Seek cures for
32、life-threatening diseases.C Will chatbots that can generate fascinating articles destroy education as we know it?New York Citys Department of Education recently banned(禁止)the use of ChatGPT.“While the tool may be able to provide quick and easy answers to questions,”says the official statement,“it do
33、es not build critical-thinking skills,which are necessary for academic and lifelong success.”Banning such use of technology from the classroom is a nearsighted response.Instead,we must find a way forward in which such technologies combine well with,rather than replace,student thinking.Banning ChatGP
34、T is impossible in practice.Students will find ways around the ban,which will cause a further defensive response from teachers and administrators,and so on.Its hard to believe that a close race between those digital natives and their educators will end in a decisive victory for the latter.In fact,ch
35、atbots may well speed up a trend(趋向)toward valuing critical thinking.In a world where computers can fluently answer any question,students need to get much better at deciding what questions to ask and how to fact-check the answers the program generates.So how do we encourage young people to use their
36、 minds when real thinking is so hard to tell apart from its simulacrum(假象)?Teachers,of course,will still want to watch students taking old-fashioned,in-person,no-chatbot-allowed exams to check that they do not cheat.But we must also figure out how to do something new:how to use tools like GPT to ins
37、pire deeper thinking.GPT often generates text that is fluent and“reasonable”but wrong.So using it requires the same mental heavy lifting that writing does:forming an opinion,creating an outline,picking which points to explain and which to drop,and looking for supporting facts.GPT can help with those
38、 tasks,but it cant put them all together.Writing a good essay still requires lots of human thought and work.Indeed,writing is thinking,and good writing is good thinking.One approach is to focus on the process as much as the result.For instance,teachers might require four drafts of an essay.After all
39、,as John McPhee,the famous writer,said,“the central nature of the process is revision.”Each draft gets feedback from the teacher,from peers or even from a chatbot.Then the students produce the next draft,and so on.Will AI one day outperform human beings in thinking?Maybe,but for now,we must think fo
40、r ourselves.Like any tool,GPT is an enemy of thinking only if we fail to find ways to make it our partner.40.How does the author feel about the ban?A.Understandable.B.Irresponsible.C.Unwise.D.Necessary.41.Why is it impossible to ban ChatGPT in practice?A.Because students are digitally fluent.B.Becau
41、se schools will defend the ban.C.Because ChatGPT will keep developing.D.Because people treasure critical thinking.42.How does the author explain his idea in Paragraph 6?A.By quoting others.B.By presenting facts.C.By giving examples.D.By showing similarities.43.What is the passage mainly about?A.Is G
42、PT a process or a result?B.Will GPT outperform students?C.Why Chatbots become a new trend?D.How can Chatbots serve education?第二节第二节(共共 5 小题小题;每小题每小题 2 分，共分，共 10 分分)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。选项。In the 17th century when a British businessman hea

44、cks.One theory is that chopsticks were very convenient for Chinese to use because China was an agricultural society,relying mainly on vegetables for food.When we steamed or boiled food,it was difficult for us to use spoons to dip vegetables in the soup._45_ Westerners,on the other hand,travelled wit
45、h their animals from place to place and lived on meat.For them,knives and forks were more practical.Chopsticks reflect gentleness and kindness,the main moral teaching of Confucianism._46_ First,dont use it to hit the side of your bowl or plate to make noises,because Chinese people think only beggars

47、se culture,symbolising the power of unity._48_ However,ten pairs of chopsticks represent strength,which means they wont break off in any cases.We Chinese people draw on this spirit,which always inspires and encourages us to work hand in hand for a better future.A.As a result,spoons were designed and
48、 preferred by Westerners.B.But to his surprise,the Chinese people use chopsticks,not spoons.C.Therefore,Chinese people cleverly invented chopsticks to pick food.D.Besides,never point at people with your chopsticks while using them.E.Indeed,one chopstick is useless and so delicate that it can be brok
49、en readily.F.So these virtues have gradually become the rules people follow in their daily life.G.There are some rules about using chopsticks that you should pay great attention to.第三部分：书面表达第三部分：书面表达(共两节，共两节，32 分分)第一节第一节(共共 4 小题小题;第第 49、50 题各题各 2 分，第分，第 51 题题 3 分，第分，第 52 题题 5 分，共分，共 12 分分)阅读下面短文，根据题
