Have you ever left a movie theater with a mixed feeling about what you just watched No Well, you definitely haven’t seen the movie “Nope （不）”. This 2022 movie is a sci-fi horror. But despite having the amazing director Jordan Peele and the wonderful actors, this film still manages to be the worst I’ve ever seen.
In the movie “Nope”, it shows us a western 1998 setting where we follow a brother, OJ, and a sister, Emerald Haywood. Emerald is a fun and entertaining woman, while OJ is shy but outspoken when necessary. They run a large horse farm. They observe something mysterious in the sky, which they later learn is a UFO. This UFO is eating people who are watching horse races. To help their horse farm, they try their best to
beat the monster.
Daniel Kaluuya is a good actor and has experienced playing in horror movies. In the movie, he did a good job at playing the role of OJ until he took a turn for the worse, going from a shy person to a hero who leads his group to success without any visible （可见的）growth. That makes his character challenging for the audience to understand. I love Keke Palmer’s humor and energy in the movie, but it gets to a point where she is too active, which makes her character Emerald unpleasant.
Many scenes in the movie are extended not to create suspense （悬念）but simply to add screen time. That makes the two hours feel like four. There are many storylines that end as quickly as they begin, with seemingly no point. The film is a far cry from horror and suspense. It is just an alien story with some seeming scares in between. Jordan Peele tried to make the movie symbolic, which made him blind to the idea that movies are supposed to be entertaining to watch.
This movie is not for you if you are a true suspense and horror fan. If you ask me if you should watch it or not, I’d say “Nope”.
25．What do you know about the movie
A．It is a western film. B．It is the worst movie.
C．It is set in ancient times. D．It is popular with horror fans. 26．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The response of the audience. B．The suggestion on the acting.
C．The comparison of the actors. D．The opinion on the characters. 27．What is the main reason for the movie’s failure according to paragraph 4
A．The long period. B．The wrong director. C．The worthless plots. D．The old-fashioned theme.
28．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．“Nope” is a nope for me B．What an entertaining film! C．Jordan Peele’s new movie D．Should a horror be horrible
C
According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions （同伴）can influence our food intake. And contrary （相反的）to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions （份）, it’s the beanpoles with big appetites（饭量）you really need to avoid.
To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly （表面上）participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which
increased her weight to 180 pounds.
Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took significantly more when the actor was thin.
For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test: the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.
The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we’re making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the “I’ll have what she’s having” effect. However, we’ll adjus t the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I’ll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I’ll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can’t I
29．What is the recent study mainly about
A．Food safety. B．Movie viewership. C．Consumer demand. D．Eating behavior.
30．What does the underlined word “beanpoles” in Paragraph 1 refer to A．Big eaters. B．Overweight persons. C．Picky eaters. D．Tall thin persons. 31．Why did the researchers hire the actor
A．To see how she would affect the participants. B．To test if the participants could recognize her.
C．To find out what she would do in the two tests. D．To study why she could keep her weight down.
32．From which is the text probably taken
A．A news report. B．A science textbook. C．A research paper. D．A travel brochure.
D
To battle the plagiarism （抄袭）, some schools in America have responded to ChatGPT by taking action, according to the New York Times.
New York City public schools, for example, recently prevented ChatGPT access on school computers and networks, saying “concerns about negative influence on students learning, and concerns about the safety of content.” Schools in other cities, including Seattle, have also limited its use.
A US’ on line course provider recently asked 1,000 students over the age of 18 about the use of ChatGPT in the classroom. The responses were surprising. Around 89 percent said they’ve used it on homework. Over 50 percent said they used ChatGPT to write an essay, while 22 percent admitted to having asked ChatGPT for a paper outline. While the chatbot （聊天机器人）is raising fears of academic cheating
on schools, some educators believe introducing the AI-ended tools to the academics could even overturn the traditional education.
“For researchers, finding valuable scientific problems and solving them
in creative ways come first, and then writing academic papers. Some
AI-enabled writing tools can create words or even write long text based on a few keywords shortly,” said Zhu Wei, a law professor in China. For example, ChatGPT helps writers gather writing materials for their papers, which not only increases the efficiency of the work, but also allows researchers to devote more energy to more creative work.
“Whether to use ChatGPT depends on whether to use it correctly. For those students who just use it to deal with homework or exams,” Zhu said, “this is putting the cart before the horse, which should be limited.” To avoid this problem, Zhu suggested introducing soft wares to help educators. He believes schools should accept ChatGPT as a teaching aid to unlock creativity in students. “The most important part of such tools is not to replace human thinking, but to improve human thinking.” Zhu said.
33．How does the author describe the results of Study. com’s research in Paragraph 3
A．By listing figures. B．By conducting tests.
C．By giving examples. D．By referring to other studies.
34．What is the author’s attitude towards the usage of ChatGPT
A．Disagreeable. B．Supportive. C．Objective. D．Unconcerned. 35．What may the author talk about in the following paragraph A．Showing how software is applied in schools.
B．Giving examples of how students use ChatGPT.
C．Listing advantages of using AI-ended tools properly in schools. D．Introduci ng ways to use ChatGPT to improve students’ creativity.

根据短文内容，从短文后的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。

Daily overuse of media and technology has a bad effect on the health of all children and teenagers by making them more open to anxiety, and more at risk of future health problems. 36 Many newer apps automatically show where the users are when they’re used. This can tell anyone out there exactly where to find the person using the app.
37 They are also upset about their kids spending time on Facebook accounts instead of getting down to their homework assignments, and are afraid of what can come out of their online connections.
38 One way is to make a “social media agreement” with your kid—a real contract they can sign. In it, they can agree to protect their own privacy, consider their reputation, and not give out personal information. 39
In turn, parents agree to respect teens’ privacy while making an effort to be part of the social media world. Parents also can help kids spend less
time on the computer by putting limits on media use. 40 Avoid laptops and smartphones in bedrooms, and set some rules on the use of technology. And don’t forget that setting a good example through your own virtual behavior can go a long way toward helping your kids use social media safely.
A．Trust their children more.
B．Keep computers in public areas in the house.
C．It’s important to be aware of what your kids are doing online. D．Besides, they promise never to use technology to hurt anyone else. E．Spending too much time on social media can make kids feel upset, too. F．Kids also can face the possibility of meeting the wrong person face to face.
G．Parents often say that kids would rather be online than hang around with them.

I believe we can have a big effect on anyone with whom we come into contact. Some acts that we think 41 can shape others’ future. The simple words can sometimes 42 change someone’s life.
Years ago, that was what happened to me. I was the only 43 child at Blue Elementary School. From almost the first day there, I was 44 by other
kids mainly because of my hearing aid. And I also had 45 with my school work. When others laughed at me, I thought of myself as a 46 boy who was n’t smart enough to keep up with the class.
Mrs Jordan, my 5th grade teacher, 47 all of that with a simple sentence. One morning, she asked the 48 a question. I read her lips from my
front-row seat and immediately raised my hand because I knew the answer. But when she called my name, I was 49 . Here was an opportunity to 50 the teacher and showed her I was worthy of her love. Maybe I would even impress my classmates a little. I didn’t want to blow it. Despite my fears, I took a deep 51 and answered her question.
I will never forget what 52 next. “THAT’S GREAT, STEPHEN!” Mrs. Jordan
53 with sparkling eyes and a wide smile. I regained confidence and 54 a little taller in my chair.
From that day forward, my grades and speech 55 greatly. My popularity among my peers increased. It was all because the praise and encouragement Mrs Jordan gave me.

It was Friday, and I was at my daughter’s place in Manhattan. My husband and I had gone out for breakfast with my daughter and
son-in-law and their child. After breakfast, we took a taxi to Central Park. The plan was to take my 2-year-old grandson on his first horse and buggy （小马车）ride, pick up our bags from my daughter’s house and drive to my friend’s home in Flatbush, Brooklyn, for a visit.
The horse ride went well, and we all had a great time. My grandson was filled with joy and excitement all the time. We arrived back at my daughter’s apartment, picked up our bags and t hen I said to my husband,
Moishe. “Where is your phone ” Usually, I will check everything before we leave a taxi since things can fall out, but this time, I guess I didn’t, and we could not seem to find it.
Maybe we left it in the buggy, or it might have fallen out in the taxi I was in a state of panic, wondering what the one with the phone could do with it, Moishe was evidently at a loss as to what to do. My wise
son-in-law, Leon, had a clever idea of calling the phone to see if anyone would answer it.
With butterflies in my stomach, I watched as Leon dialed and got through. He turned the loudspeaker of his phone on so that we all could hear but what we heard was a lady’s poor, broken English. The person on the other side of the phone obviously had difficulty communicating with Leon. Leon was very patient and was speaking very slowly but I could see that he didn’t get much useful information before he had to hang up.
After some discussion, we decided to send a text message to the lost phone saying, “We will pay money to get our phone back, please tell us where you are.” This idea worked out well. Soon we got a reply message saying “119 Ocean Parkway, Mrs. Hichens”.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150字左右；

We all got into our car and headed for the address immediately.

书面表达
Deng Xiaoping (1904-1997), born in Guangan, Sichuan province, was one of the greatest leaders and a revolutionary pioneer of all time in China’s
history. In 1978, with his leadership, the policy of reform and opening-up was established, which has a profound influence on China and other countries around the world.
The policy guided us Chinese people through tribulations to modern times. It h as not only enormously boosted China’s economy, but freed our minds to create miracles on every aspect of our work and life. To put it bluntly, it is Deng’s contributions to China that has made China a great country once again.
If there is any chance that you can read his biography, you will understand our elder generations went all out to develop China. Therefore, as a new generation, we are supposed to inherit their traits and do our part to keep China moving ahead.

We all got into our car and headed for the address immediately. When we got there, Leon messaged again, telling the lady we had arrived. 【高分句型一】After a while a young lady appeared from the apartment building. We got out of the car and the lady greeted us and told us in very good English th at she was Laura, Mrs. Hichens’ neighbor. Mrs. Hichens had just come from Mexico and her English was limited. As her husband was away on business, she asked Laura for help. Laura showed us into an apartment, where Mrs. Hichens and her little girl were expecting us. 【高分句型二】（作者一家到达了这个地址，被邻居劳
拉接待的经过）
With Laure’s help, Mrs. Hichens was able to explain to us what had happened. That Friday, she also took her kid, Judy, on a horse and buggy ride. She didn’t notice her daughter took a phone home until it rang. She returned the phone to us and refused any reward. We felt lucky to meet such kind people as Mrs. Hichens and Laura and had a friendly chat. While the adults were chatting, I noticed my grandson was playing happily with Judy. Such a warm scene reminded me that the language barrier can never be a problem between kind and friendly people. （希钦斯太太讲述捡到手机的经过以及作者的感激和感悟）。
