Dear Jim,
Knowing that you are interesting in China's "four great new inventions", I'd like to brief introduce one of them to you—high-speed rail. China's high-speed trains ran at a speed of 250—350 km per hour. The country's advanced transportation network has surprised at the world.
Since it takes only a little hours to travel from north China to south China, high-speed rail has given the public a convenient transport alternative. It has also attracted globe attention. As the result, many countries have imported Chinese high-speed rail technology to upgrade them own rail transport systems. I hope that the above informations will be helpful to you. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate contact me.
Yours,
Li Hua

六、阅读理解
文章大意：这是一篇说明文。

文章主要介绍了由旧金山的一个实验室OpenAI所展示的一个名为GPT-3的系统。

这个系统被人工智能研究人员称为神经网络，它可以通过定位大量数字数据中的模式来学习技能。

对此系统，不同的人发表了不同的看法。

13. In 2020, OpenAI, a research lab in San Francisco, revealed a system called GPT-3. It is what artificial intelligence researchers call a neural(神
经系统的) network, after the web of neurons in the human brain. A neural network is really a mathematical system that learns skills by locating patterns in vast amounts of digital data. By analyzing thousands of cat photos, for instance, it can learn to recognize a cat. “We call it ‘artificial intelligence,’ but a better name might be ‘finding statistical patterns from large data sets’,” said Dr. Gopnik, the Berkeley professor.
More recently, researchers at places like Google and OpenAI began building neural networks that learned from enormous amounts of prose, including digital books and Wikipedia articles by the thousands. GPT-3 is an example. As it analyzed all that digital text, it built what you might call a mathematical map of human language — more than 175 billion data points that describe how we piece words together. Using this map, it can perform many different tasks, like penning speeches, writing computer programs and having a conversation.
But there are limitations. If you ask GPT-3 for 10 speeches in the voice of Mark Twain, it might give you five that sound remarkably like the famous writer — and five others that come nowhere close. Computer programmers use the technology to create small snippets(一小段) of code they can slip into larger programs, but more often than not they have to edit and adjust whatever it gives them.
Still, Dr. Gopnik described this kind of system as intelligent. “It is not intelligent in the way humans are. It is like an unfamiliar form of intelligence,” he said. “But it still counts.”
Dr. Gopnik and many others in the field are confident that they are on a path to building a machine that can do anything the human brain can do.
This confidence shines through when they discuss current technologies. He admits that some A.I. researchers “struggle to differentiate between reality and science fiction.” But he believes these researchers still serve a valuable role. “They help us dream of the full range of the possible,” he said.
Perhaps they do. But for the rest of us, these dreams can get in the way of the issues that deserve our attention.
1. Which of the following statements correctly describes GPT-3?
A．It is meant to monitor human’s neuron webs.
B．It stores limitless data in its mathematical system.
C．It can identify images and employ human language.
D．It studies pictures and digital books to invent patterns.
2. In paragraph 3, the example of computer programmers is used to __________.
A．illustrate GPT-3 is far from perfect
B．warn programmers against technology
C．show the process of slipping code into program
D．explain why GPT-3 fails to find Mark Twain’s speeches
3. What does Dr. Gopnik think of the mathematical system of GPT-3?
A．He finds it valuable because it maximizes the current technologies.
B．He doubts its worth though it is remarkably similar to a human brain.
C．He thinks highly of it because it plays a valuable role in A.I. research.
D．He believes it will interrupt our thinking though it differs from science fiction.
4. What’s the author’s attitude towards A.I.?
A．Enthusiastic.B．Opposed.C．Supportive.D．Unconcerned.

文章主要讲述了研究人员通过对吃垃圾食品的老鼠和健康饮食的老鼠进行比对实验，研究结果表明，吃垃圾食物不仅会发胖，而且会变懒。

16. We all know that eating junk food can make us fat. However, a new study suggests that it can do more than that – it can also make us lazy, reported CBS News.
In the study, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, US divided 32 female rats into two groups. The first group was fed a diet of healthy food such as corn and fish, while the second was given a diet of highly processed (加工的) food rich in sugar, namely “junk food”.
Within three months, the rats in the second group were already much fatter than those on the healthy diet. And when researchers trained the rats to do simple tasks, they found even more differences between the two groups rather than weight.
During the task – pushing a lever (杠杆) to receive a reward of sugar water – the rats on the junk food diet were found to be less willing to move, and they took longer breaks between each push than the lean rats did.
“It is as if the rat is thinking ‘This is too much work’,” Aaron Blaisdell, leader of the study, told the Los Angeles Times.
But what about the possibility that the fat rats were less passionate about getting sugar water because they were already eating lots of sugar in their daily diet? That’s why researchers repeated the tests by rewarding fat rats with plain water when they were extremely thirsty. However, the results came out just the same.
According to researchers, these differences suggest that junk food changed the chemistry in the rats’ brains.
The experiment didn’t end there. After six months, the rats’ diets were switched, and the overweight rats were given a healthy diet for nine days. However, this change didn’t help reduce their weight or improve their ability to perform tasks, which means the effects of their junk food diet
persisted (持续存在). “There’s no quick fix,” said Blaisdell.
For a long time, we’ve believed that people become fat because they are lazy. But this study has proven the opposite to be true as well, which indicates that laziness and obesity are a “vicious cycle (恶性循环)”.
So, if you constantly feel tired, lacking any urge to get up from your chair, it could be that you’ve been studying too hard. But you should also pay attention to your diet.
1. During the first three months of the experiment by researchers at the University of California, ______.
A．rats from the healthy diet group ate nothing but corn and fish
B．rats on the junk food diet ate more than those on healthy diet
C．rats on the healthy food diet performed better at simple tasks than those on the junk food diet
D．rats on the junk food diet seemed uninterested in sugary food
2. The researchers rewarded thirsty rats with plain water in the lever test to ______.
A．help them control their weight
B．test whether fat rats lost interest in the test because they had taken enough sugar
C．change the diet habits of fat rats
D．find out the influence of sugar on rats’ brains
3. The underlined word “there” refers to ______.
A．after the rats on the junk food diet had worked hard to get sugar water
B．after the type of food rats prefer had been identified
C．after a quick cure for obesity had been found
D．after the fact that fatter rats are lazier than lean rats had been found
4. We can conclude from the article that ______.
A．fat people are usually lazier than lean people
B．people should switch between different types of diets to keep healthy
C．being overweight and being lazy can feed into each other
D．laziness is the main cause of weight problems
5. Which of the following is Not Right according to the passage?
A．Eating junk food can make us fat.

有时候，我们在野外可能会遇到泥石流，这时候我们该怎么做呢？文章给出了一些建议。

17. Debris flow (泥石流) is a kind of destructive geological disaster. July to August is the most frequent period of debris flow in China. 1 , it
can increase the probability of survival in an emergency.
Don’t overlook your surroundings while hiking. Pay attention to the surrounding environment and pay special attention to whether you hear thunder-like sound from the valley in the distance. If you hear it, you should raise the alarm. 2 .
Don’t panic and escape in the direction of debris flow. When meeting with debris flow, stay calm. 3 . If the path is perpendicular (垂直的) to the direction of debris flow and climbs to the hillside on both sides, the higher the better and the faster the better. It is absolutely not allowed to go to the downstream of debris flow.
4 . When traveling by car meeting debris flow, you should abandon the car and run away. If you hide in the car, it is easy to be buried in the
car. In that case, you are at great risk.
Don’t think it’s safer in the area where the debris flow just happened. Sometimes the debris flow will happen intermittently (间歇地). 5 , you must be careful of another one on the road. You’d better take another way to find a safe route.
A．Don’t try to stay in your car
B．It is likely to be a sign of debris flow
C．Try to determine the safe path to escape
D．Don’t drive a car for a trip in the mountain
E．Stay calm and look at the map on your phone
F．If you know some emergency knowledge about debris flow
G．If you are walking through the area where the debris flow just happened

文章通过讲述一棵老榆树大难不死的故事告诉我们：经历痛苦才能变得坚强，才能抵挡住更大的困难。

18. 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

In the 1950s, a family that owned a farm near Beulah, Michigan kept a bull chained to an elm (榆树). The bull paced 1 the tree, dragging the heavy iron chain, 2 led to a groove (槽) in the bark (树皮). The groove 3 (deep)over the years. However, for whatever reason, it just did not kill the tree.
After some years, the family took their bull away. They cut the chain, leaving the loop around the tree and one link 4 (hang) down.
Then one year, one of the most historically serious agricultural 5 (catastrophe) struck Michigan in the form of Dutch elm disease. All of the elms lining the road leading to the farm became withered and died due to the 6 (infect) disease, which made people panic as well. Everyone thought that the old elm would be the next. The farm owner considered going the safe thing: pulling it out and chopping it up into firewood before it died.
7 (amaze), the tree did not die. Nobody could understand why 8 was the only elm still standing in the county. It is said that 9 doesn’t kill you will make you 10 (strong). Or, as a plant pathologists (病理学家) put it, “Life breaks us all, but afterwards, many of us are strongest at the broken places.”。
