Just move on! Never give up and you will see your wonderful future.
One day, a young lady was driving along the long straight road with her father. Unluckily, they came upon a storm (暴风雨). The young lady was very nervous, and she asked her father, “What should I do ” Her father answered, “Keep driving! Go, go, go.” At the same time, the young lady saw some other cars and buses begin to park on the side because the storm was getting worse.
The young lady asked her father the same question again and her father told her to keep driving. But the daughter said, “Dad, I must park the car on the side. Everyone is parking on the side. I am afraid of the storm. It is terrible out there.” Her father still told her not to give up and asked her not to look back. The young lady had no choice but driving.
After a few miles, they were on a dry land and the Sun was shining. The father said, “Now, park and get out of the car.”
“But why now ” the daughter was confused and asked. The father said, “Look back at all the people that gave up. They are still in the storm. You didn’t give up, so now your storm is over.” The young lady stopped the car and got out of it. Thinking back what had happened she felt relaxed and pleased.
It is true that sometimes, in our real fife, if we keep going on, our “storm” will soon be over and the “Sun” will shine upon our face again. When you meet some troubles, you should try your best to keep going on. Just go on and never give up. What’s more, pay more attention to yourself and do not look at others too much. Sooner or later, you will get your own goals.

Our lives have become more digital in the modern world. We can study, find information and communicate with friends through computers and phones. However, spending a lot of time working, reading, texting and gaming through digital devices (数码设备) is bad for our eyes.
According to the American Optometric Association, 70% to 75% of computer workers have eye problems.
Digital eyestrain (眼睛疲劳) is one of the most common problems. People with digital eyestrain may get headaches, dry and red eyes, eye pain, watering and other problems. These problems have started to increase (增加) among children. “Children get cellphones at younger ages and are using them very often during the day,” Sarah Hinkley, spokeswoman for the American Optometric Association, told USA Today.
The good news is that there are many things you can do to reduce (减少) digital eyestrain.
When using a computer, first sit in your chair and reach out your arm. Your hand should rest comfortably on the screen, as if you’re high-fiving the screen. Increase text size until your eyes feel comfortable.
When you are using a mobile phone, keep it at least 30 cm from your eyes and just below eye level. Try not to use it under sunlight.
Remember to take a 20-20-20 break: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet (about 6 meters) away.
51．According to the story, people may have ________ after using digital devices.
A．eye problems B．back pain C．loss of hearing D．dry mouths
52．What do we know from Sarah Hinkley
A．Children can easily get eyestrain.
B．Children shouldn’t use cellphones.
C．More children are experiencing digital eyestrain.
D．Using cell phones can cause many problems.
53．When we use phones, we should ________.
A．use them under sunlight B．turn off the lights
C．keep them just below eye level D．keep them close to our eyes
54．The story gives suggestions about ________.
a. how to use computers safely
b. how to use phones safely
c. when to take breaks from electronic devices
d. how to clean your eyes
A．abc B．abd C．acd D．bcd
55．From the passage, we know that ________.
A．few of computer workers have eye problems
B．Sarah Hinkley is a spokesman for the American Optometric Association
C．when people take a break for their eyes, they should look at something 20 meters away
D．to increase text size can reduce digital eyestrain
D
①Can you imagine an AI chatbot competing (竞争) with you in an examination Do you think you could get higher scores than it A new AI chatbot called ChatGPT recently passed a law school exam! Sounds crazy The use of ChatGPT has raised heated discussions in the education world.
②ChatGPT was developed by US company Open AI. It is a powerful tool. You can ask it to write stories and emails, translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions. According to a US survey of more than 1000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with homework. Some schools in the US do not allow students to use it. For example, New York City public schools don’t allow students and teachers to use ChatGPT on the district’s networks and devices (设备).
③The measure (措施) 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 incorrect information.
④“It does not develop thinking quality and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for studying and lifelong success,” said Jenna Lyle, the deputy press secretary of the New York City Department of Education. Apart from bans (禁令), teachers are making changes to their classes to prevent the use of ChatGPT. Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones.
⑤However, not all educators say “no” to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are making rules on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to completely ban the tool so far. Some people said that bans on AI software like ChatGPT are not wise. “We have to know that AI is a tool people will use,” What we need to do is “change our learning, teaching and examinations”. In that way, we can “have integrity (诚信) while recognizing the use of the tool”.
56．How does the writer start the passage
A．By giving some facts. B．By showing some opinions.
C．By telling some stories. D．By asking some questions.
57．Why do some schools in the US prevent the use of ChatGPT
A．Because it can never make any mistakes.
B．Because it can take the place of teachers.
C．Because it may make something dishonest happen.
D．Because it can hardly provide correct information.
58．What does Jenna Lyle think of ChatGPT
A．ChatGPT is the smartest AI chatbot tool so far.
B．ChatGPT is used to spread the wrong information.
C．ChatGPT is not good for developing students’ minds.
D．ChatGPT is necessary for studying and lifelong success.
59．Which opinion is NOT mentioned in the passage
A．The complete ban on using ChatGPT is not wise.
B．ChatGPT will completely change the education.
C．Using ChatGPT makes students lazy in thinking.
D．Using ChatGPT will change the way of teaching.
60．What’s the structure (结构) of the article

六、阅读短文，回答问题。(5小题，每小题2分，共10分)
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
①I came to the United States from Africa to live with my uncle Jim in Maryland. One year later, I lost my sight because of a serious illness.
②Jim told me not to go out. He worried I would get lost or hit by a car. But I was dogged. I told him I’d pay attention. I believed I’d succeed. I must succeed. I must put my will into action. I dreamed of being a broadcaster.
③Then a neighbour told me that a public library in Washington D．C． was offering a free course, specially designed for blind people. This was an important chance for me. But how would I map my way I knew that the American singer Ray Charles, also blind, got around on his own without a cane (手杖). His secret was to count steps.
④But I couldn’t seem to do that way. Instead I developed my imagination, sensing the layout (布局) of places I visited and taking notes of landmarks in my mind. At first, I would have to stop to imagine and map a new space in my mind. The next time I visited that place, I’d use that to find the way. Today, I am used to doing it. But I’ve still lost my way many times. I’d have to swallow my pride to ask for help, not thinking what others think or say about me.
⑤Sometimes I’d be down and I’d consider giving up. Perhaps my uncle was right. Maybe I’d stay home and wait until someone came to help. On those days when I lost my way, I’d go to bed with a bad feeling. But I kept that to myself. I had a strong wish to beat blindness and be successful, and that was usually enough to get me out of bed the next day and try again.
⑥Along the way I learned to be patient with myself and realized that asking for help didn’t diminish (贬低) me in any way. I’ve got three academic degrees so far.
⑦Today, I’m a reporter and broadcaster. I’ve achieved my dream.
⑧Yes, I’ve lost my way many times—and found it again. Yes, I’ve come close to being hit by a car but never been hit by one. When people ask, “Aren’t you afraid to be out alone ” The answer to me is clear: I would face danger and find happiness instead of staying home and being unhappy.
71．What happened to the writer one year after he moved to the US
72．Why did the writer want to go to the public library
73．What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
74．Do you think the writer is successful Why or why not
75．What can you learn from the writer

Just move on! Never give up and you will see your wonderful future.
One day, a young lady was driving along the long straight road with her father. Unluckily, they came upon a storm (暴风雨). The young lady was very nervous, and she asked her father, “What should I do ” Her father answered, “Keep driving! Go, go, go.” At the same time, the young lady saw some other cars and buses begin to park on the side because the storm was getting worse.
The young lady asked her father the same question again and her father told her to keep driving. But the daughter said, “Dad, I must park the car on the side. Everyone is parking on the side. I am afraid of the storm. It is terrible out there.” Her father still told her not to give up and asked her not to look back. The young lady had no choice but driving.
After a few miles, they were on a dry land and the Sun was shining. The father said, “Now, park and get out of the car.”
“But why now ” the daughter was confused and asked. The father said, “Look back at all the people that gave up. They are still in the storm. You didn’t give up, so now your storm is over.” The young lady stopped the car and got out of it. Thinking back what had happened she felt relaxed and pleased.
It is true that sometimes, in our real fife, if we keep going on, our “storm” will soon be over and the “Sun” will shine upon our face again.

Our lives have become more digital in the modern world. We can study, find information and communicate with friends through computers and phones. However, spending a lot of time working, reading, texting and gaming through digital devices (数码设备) is bad for our eyes.
According to the American Optometric Association, 70% to 75% of computer workers have eye problems.
Digital eyestrain (眼睛疲劳) is one of the most common problems. People with digital eyestrain may get headaches, dry and red eyes, eye pain, watering and other problems. These problems have started to increase (增加) among children. “Children get cellphones at younger ages and are using them very often during the day,” Sarah Hinkley, spokeswoman for the American Optometric Association, told USA Today.
The good news is that there are many things you can do to reduce (减少) digital eyestrain.
When using a computer, first sit in your chair and reach out your arm. Your hand should rest comfortably on the screen, as if you’re high-fiving the screen. Increase text size until your eyes feel comfortable.
When you are using a mobile phone, keep it at least 30 cm from your eyes and just below eye level. Try not to use it under sunlight.
Remember to take a 20-20-20 break: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet (about 6 meters) away.

①Can you imagine an AI chatbot competing (竞争) with you in an examination Do you think you could get higher scores than it A new AI chatbot called ChatGPT recently passed a law school exam! Sounds crazy The use of ChatGPT has raised heated discussions in the education world.
②ChatGPT was developed by US company Open AI. It is a powerful tool. You can ask it to write stories and emails, translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions. According to a US survey of more than 1000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with homework. Some schools in the US do not allow students to use it. For example, New York City public schools don’t allow students and teachers to use ChatGPT on the district’s networks and devices (设备).
③The measure (措施) 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 incorrect information.
④“It does not develop thinking quality and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for studying and lifelong success,” said Jenna Lyle, the deputy press secretary of the New York City Department of Education. Apart from bans (禁令), teachers are making changes to their classes to prevent the use of ChatGPT. Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones.
⑤However, not all educators say “no” to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are making rules on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to completely ban the tool so far. Some people said that bans on AI software like ChatGPT are not wise. “We have to know that AI is a tool people will use,” What we need to do is “change our learning, teaching and examinations”. In that way, we can “have integrity (诚信) while recognizing the use of the tool”.

58．推理判断题。根据第四段“‘It does not develop thinking quality and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for studying and lifelong success,’ said Jenna Lyle”可知，Jenna Lyle认为ChatGPT不能培养学生的思维品质和解决问题的技能，由此推知，Jenna Lyle认为ChatGPT不利于发展学生的心智。故选C。

But how would I map my way I knew that the American singer Ray Charles, also blind, got around on his own without a cane (手杖). His secret was to count steps.
④But I couldn’t seem to do that way. Instead I developed my imagination, sensing the layout (布局) of places I visited and taking notes of landmarks in my mind. At first, I would have to stop to imagine and map a new space in my mind. The next time I visited that place, I’d use that to find the way. Today, I am used to doing it. But I’ve still lost my way many times. I’d have to swallow my pride to ask for help, not thinking what others think or say about me.
⑤Sometimes I’d be down and I’d consider giving up. Perhaps my uncle was right. Maybe I’d stay home and wait until someone came to help. On those days when I lost my way, I’d go to bed with a bad feeling. But I kept that to myself. I had a strong wish to beat blindness and be successful, and that was usually enough to get me out of bed the next day and try again.
⑥Along the way I learned to be patient with myself and realized that asking for help didn’t diminish (贬低) me in any way. I’ve got three academic degrees so far.
⑦Today, I’m a reporter and broadcaster. I’ve achieved my dream.
⑧Yes, I’ve lost my way many times—and found it again. Yes, I’ve come close to being hit by a car but never been hit by one. When people ask, “Aren’t you afraid to be out alone ” The answer to me is clear: I would face danger and find happiness instead of staying home and being unhappy.

【答案】例文
Dear Mike,
How’s it going
I’m happy to share my holiday activities with you. My five-day holiday was very meaningful. I reviewed my lessons at home in the morning and played basketball with my friends in the afternoon. I read a few of my favorite books. On the the fourth day of the holiday, I travelled to Dalian with my parents. We climbed the mountain and visited many scenic spots. We felt tired but interesting.
I think we middle school students should get close to nature and relax ourselves, which makes our spare time meaningful.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Amy
