The Best Way to Nap
A study published in the journal Heart found a link between healthy napping (打盹) and a lowered risk of heart disease. The American Psychological Association points out that naps can improve memory,learning capacity and mood. Sara Med nick,PhD,a neuroscience at the University of
California explains that when you fall asleep, your body moves through stages that each play a role in health. Ideal napping times are based around this four-stage cycle.
B．Uncaring.
C．Approving.
Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 the“dozing off”(打瞌睡)period muscles,heart rate and brain activity slow down deep, restorative sleep REM(rapid eye movement)sleep,when brain activity increases and you’re most likely to dream Between 20 and 30 minutes is one napping sweet spot, according to Mednick, who explains that you get enough Stage 2 sleep to switch your body and mind into full relaxation mode,aiding with memory. Stage 3 sleep is a time for your body to repair tissue,strengthen the immune(免疫)system and recharge energy stores. But waking up during this phase can make you feel uncomfortable and sleepy,Med nick says. Most people start to move out of Stage 3 after around 60 minutes, which makes it a good time to set your alarm. A complete sleep cycle is about an hour and a half, and napping for a full cycle can have big benefits. But naps longer than 90 minutes can disturb nighttime sleep and might even weaken memory. The 20-minute nap The 60-minute nap The 90-minute nap Not a regular napper? That’s OK. “Everyone needs to rest, but not everyone necessarily needs to nap,” says Med nick.
21. During which phase may you have a dream?
A．Stage1.
B．Stage2.
C．Stage3.
D．Stage 4.
22. How long may the first 3 stages last?
A．A quarter.
B．One hour.
C．Half an hour.
D．One and a half hours.
23. Which section is the text probably taken from in a newspaper?
A．News
On my first round-the-world trip in 2006, I planned everything out in advance. I knew where I was going, staying for how long, and how 1 would get there. And then half-way through I ditched the plan and went with the flow(随大流). Over the years, how I plan my travel has changed. Now, I’m a last-minute planner and seldom travel with any plan.
B．Education.
C．Lifestyle.
D．Health.
Traveling without a plan gives you great flexibility (灵活性). Since nothing is booked far in advance, you can turn to something different when you change your mind or something better comes along. I changed my plans to meet a friend on an island in Thailand and stayed for a month. I wouldn’t have had that experience if I had kept to my planned schedule.
However, most new travelers are the opposite — they overplant their trips. Their whole journey is scheduled. Two days here, three days there. I understand why people do that. When time is short, you want to see as much as possible. You don’t want to waste a single second.
Actually, it is better to slow down your pace. Spending more time in one place allows you to get a better feel for the rhythm of life. You can visit at a more relaxed pace, see more than just the attractions, and open up your schedule to the happy accidents of travel.
When I first made my travel plan, I tried to include everything in it. Then I realized it was unrealistic, and revised my plan. I came up with a list of one or two things I want to see each day and spaced everything out. It’s an important lesson to learn. I think the best trip plan is to work out the general path you want to take, book the first few nights of your trip, and let your travels unfold from there. This way you are never locked into a certain place if your feelings change. 24. What does the underlined word “ditched” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Considered. C．Dropped.
B．Discussed. D．Prepared.
25. What can we learn about the author from the text?
A．He lives an easy life. C．He enjoys traveling freely.
26. What does the author suggest about traveling?
A．Working out a simple travel plan. B．Avoiding booking in advance.
C．Getting prepared for the unexpected things. D．Setting a goal before making a travel plan. 27. What is the best title for the text?
A．In Travel, Less Is More C．Traveling: Play More, Pay Less
Zwingmann teaches online courses on AI and helps clients make use of artificial intelligence. Lately, he has been generating lecture notes using ChatGPT. “I went up and said, ‘OK, tell me a detailed step by step of how the DBSCAN algorithm works,’ and it gave me that step by step,” Zwingmann said.
B．Why I Enjoy Traveling Around D．Traveling: A Race Against The Clock B．He spends a lot of time traveling. D．He prefers to follow others when traveling.
The AI chatbot ChatGPT Zwingmann uses has taken the internet by storm. It allows users to input questions that ask the conversational assistant to create a series of writing tasks. Although the
chatbot is still in its infancy, ChatGPT has the potential to be a game-changer for the whole world. The GPT stands for “Generative Pre-trained Transformer”, providing detailed answers to users’ questions. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer follow up questions, challenge incorrect statements and reject inappropriate requests.
If you have a passion for writing but aren’t sure how to add a touch of elegance to your words,
ChatGPT can help! If you want to create your personal web page but know little about HTML code, ChatGPT can generate the code for you! Even if you are an experienced developer, ChatGPT can help you analyze the code and provide a detailed explanation of the error along with suggestions for how to fix it.
Despite looking very impressive, ChatGPT still has limitations. Such limitations include the inability to answer questions that are worded in a specific way and the lack of quality in the responses it delivers, which sometimes seem to be reasonable but make no practical sense. With its widespread use, there is growing concern about how the tool might be used to help students create essays for class assignments.
So how good is it at producing literary works in the style of a news article? And how does its writing live up to the likes of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, or a film producer like Ben Affleck? Judge for yourself.
28. What’s the function of paragraph 1?
A．To promote an online course teacher. C．To offer background information about AI.
B．To explain how lecture notes are made. D．To introduce an AI chatbot with an example.
29. What can we learn about ChatGPT in paragraphs 3 & 4?
A．It gives the user an answer of good quality.
C．It aids code developers in recognizing errors.
30. What is the author’s attitude to the AI chatbot?
A．Cautious.
B．Favorable.
C．Negative.
D．Concerned.
B．It makes up a dialogue with questions input.
D．It functions by collecting complex questions.
31. What’s the article about?
A．The limitations of ChatGPT. C．The importance of ChatGPT.
Padraig ó Dubhlaoidh,an Irish master violin maker，has created the world’s first-ever vegan violin,valued at 8, 000.
B．The application of ChatGPT. D．The development of ChatGPT.
An amateur violinist himself, Padraig ó Dubhlaoidh has long held the belief that animal body parts aren’t needed to create the instrument.“With our planet facing crises on almost every front, the collective voice of people wanting a fairer future grows stronger every day, ”he said.“ Ethical(合乎道德的)musicians are part of this movement and have long wished for a violin that is fully vegan yet retains all the qualities of the classic instrument.”
Traditional instruments are tightly connected to animal products.Like other wood-based instruments, violins use hide glue-a product obtained from the skins and bones of animals-as a primary
adhesive(黏合剂).Violin strings and bows have also been known to contain ivory and horse tail hair. Using traditional tools and methods, Padraig chose natural replacements such as steamed pears, berries, and spring water to create the instrument. His adhesive, composed in part of spring water gathered from the hills behind his home, is 100%natural.
More than just an ethical step in the right direction, Padraig says his natural adhesive has other advantages.He said, ”During my experiments, I discovered that the vegan violin has unexpected
advantages.Apart from the benefit to animals, society, and our environment, it has become very clear that animal-based glues have harmful effects on violins, inducing powerful tension on wooden components.The adhesive used in my vegan violin, however, has no such effect.This is an acoustic(声音的)improvement.”
While Padraig doesn’t think everyone will switch to the vegan violin immediately, he does think there’s a bright future ahead for his instrument and the concept of vegan instruments. He continues to make both vegan and non-vegan violins in his workshops. However, he said, “Just as petrol cars are gradually being replaced with more eco-friendly options, the same progression may happen to violins gradually, and even many other handicrafts.”
32. What’s Padraig’s original purpose in making the vegan violin?
A．To help protect the earth. B．To have a stronger violin body. C．To enhance the qualities of violins.
D．To inspire more musicians to play classical music. 33. What does Paragraph 3 mainly focus on?
A．The process of making instruments. B．The features of traditional instruments.
C．The reasons for instruments’ containing animal products.
D．The comparison between traditional instruments and the new violin. 34. What makes Padraig surprised at his violin?
A．It does no harm to animals. B．It produces even better sounds. C．It needs further improvements.
D．It has many unknown functions.
35. What does Padraig think of the future of vegan violins?
A．They will face great challenges. B．They will experience ups and downs. C．They will be acknowledged gradually. D．They will be sold at affordable prices soon.

Built over 2,000 years ago in 58 is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China，this amazing engineering achievement is still playing a crucial role in irrigating farms and providing water resources for more than 50 cities in the province.
In ancient times, the region in which Dujiangyan now stands 59 (threaten) by frequent flooding from the Minjiang River. Li Bing, a local official of Sichuan Province at that time, together with his son, decided to construct an irrigation system on the Minjiang River 60 (prevent) flooding. After many studies, they found the 61 (simple) solution was to build a dam, but this would have ruined the Minjiang River.

We had little
money and few goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics. By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field. And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but often told me “Dream is priceless”. However, when I was about to get off the ground, one particular incident happened, which almost ruined my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in senior two and a friend recommended me for a summer job. I was offered $ 12.25 per hour. Compared with the average $3.5, that was a big sum. I was so excited, because this meant a chance for money in my pocket, certainly money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect(前景)of the job was inviting, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule. I
didn't dare to tell my coach, I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage, \"If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.\" I decided to talk to my coach in person. After all, my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me. 注意：
