二、阅读理解（共4题，共 20分）

26、 Although many successful people come across as confidence on the outside, their inner experiences are peppered with ambivalence and self-doubt. When outstanding U.S government leaders described their most difficult decisions, they reported struggling not with complex problems, but with choices that required courage. And new research led by Professor Scott Sonenshein indicates that even the most dedicated environmentalists wrestle with constant uncertainty about whether they can succeed in their mission. Choosing to challenge the status quo（现状）is an uphill battle，and there are bound to be failures，barriers，and setbacks along the way.

Psychologist Julie Norem studies two different strategies for handling these challenges: strategic optimism and defensive pessimism. Strategic optimists think about the best, staying calm and setting high expectations. Defensive pessimists expect the worst, feeling anxious and imagining all the things that can go wrong. If you're a defensive pessimist, about a week before a speech you convince yourself that you're doomed to fail. Most people assume it's better to be a strategic optimist than a defensive pessimist. Yet Norem finds that although defensive pessimists are more anxious and les confident in analytical, verbal and creative tasks, they perform just as well as strategic optimists.

"Defensive pessimism is a strategy used in specific situations to manage anxiety, fear, and worry,” Norem explains. When self-doubts go in, defensive pessimists don't allow themselves to be crippled by fear. They deliberately imagine a disaster scene to intensify their anxiety and convert it into motivation. Once they`ve considered the worst, they are driven to avoid it, considering every relevant detail to make sure they don't crash and bum, which enables them to feel a sense of control. Their anxiety reaches its peak before the event, so that when it arrives, they're ready to succeed. Their confidence springs not from ignorance or delusions about the difficulties ahead, but from a realistic judgment and an exhaustive plan. When they don't feel anxious, they may become pride; when encouraged, they become discouraged from planning. If you want to weaken the performance of chronic defensive pessimists, just make them happy.

【1】What is stressed in the first paragraph?

A. The difficulty to challenge the status quo.

B. Great people's struggle with negative thoughts.

C. Successful people's secret to deal with anxiety.

D. New research led by Professor Scot Sonenshein.

【2】Which of the following does NOT account for defensive pessimists' success?

A. They consider the possible details.

B. They feel they are in control of the situation.

C. They are ignorant about the difficulties ahead.

D. They can change their anxiety it into motivation.

【3】Which of the following can be concluded from the passage?

A. The stronger you are, the less self-doubt you have.

B. If a defensive pessimist feels good, they may perform poorly.

C. Strategic optimists often perform better than defensive pessimists.

D. Anxiety is beneficial to both strategic optimists and defensive pessimists.

【4】What is the best title of passage?

A. Uncertainty Contributes to Success

B. How to Become a Defensive Optimist

C. The Positive Power of Negative Thinking

D. Strategic Optimists and Defensive Optimists

27、 The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms (节气). Start of Summer (立夏), the 7th term of the year, begins on May 6 and ends on May 21 this year. Start of Summer signals the change of seasons. On this day, the sun’s rays reach an angle of 45 degrees to the earth. The temperature will rise quickly during this period.

Here are four traditions to learn about the Start of Summer.

Greeting Start of Summer

The term Start of Summer was originated at the end of the Warring States Period (239BC). Since it is a key time for the harvest of summer crops, ancient Chinese emperors in different dynasties attached great importance to the Start of Summer. They encouraged people to seize the key time to do farm work. It’s said that most of the decorations were arranged in the color red in order to show respect for the god of summer and pray for a good harvest.

Checking one’s weight

The custom of weighing people at the Start of Summer originated from the Three Kingdoms Period (220-180) and is still popular in South China today. It was believed this practice would bring health and good luck to the people weighted.

After lunch on this day, people would hang a basket from a beam (房梁). The young and old took turns to get weighed while the person calculating the weight would offer good wishes. It is said that those who were weighed would stay healthy in the hot summer and those who weren’t would suffer illness.

Eating eggs

In ancient China, people believed a round egg symbolized a happy life and eating eggs on the day of Start of Summer was a prayer for good health. They put leftover tea into boiled water together with eggs and the original “tea egg” was created. Later people improved cooking methods and added spices (香料) to the eggs to make them taste delicious. Today tea egg has become a traditional snack in China.

Egg Competitions

As an old Chinese saying goes “hanging an egg on children’s chest can prevent them from getting summer diseases”, parents will prepare boiled eggs and put them in a bag before hanging them on their child’s chest. When at school, children gather together to play egg competitions by hitting each other’s eggs in pairs and the one whose egg is not broken wins.

【1】People believe that if one is weighed on Start of Summer, he or she will ________.

A.have a good harvest B.have respect for god

C.be fortunate D.suffer illness

【2】Which tradition is particularly designed for children?

A.Greeting Start of Summer B.Checking one’s weight

C.Eating eggs D.Egg Competitions

【3】What is the difference between the tradition “Greeting Start of Summer” and the other three?

A.It is very old. B.It has nothing to do with health.

C.It was only popular in Zhou Dynasty. D.It is organized by the emperor.

28、 Advice to “sleep on it” could be well founded, scientists say. After a good night’s sleep a problem that couldn’t be solved the night before can often appear more manageable, although the evidence until now has been anecdotal. But researchers at the University of Luebek in Germany have designed an experiment that shows a good night’s sleep can improve insight and problem-solving.

“If you have some newly-got memories in your brain, sleep acts on these memories and restructures them, so that after sleep the insight into problem which you could not solve before increases,” said Dr. Jan Born, a neuroscientist, at the university. To test the theory, they taught volunteers two simple rules to help them turn a string of numbers into a new order. There was also a third, hidden rule, which could help them increase their speed in solving the problem. The researchers divided the volunteers into two groups: half were allowed to sleep after the training while the rest were forced to stay awake.

Dr. Jan Born and his team noticed that the group that had slept after the training were twice as likely to figure out the third rule as the other group. “Sleep helped,” Born said in a telephone interview. “The important thing is that you have to have a memory representation in your brain of the problem you want to solve and then you sleep, so it can act on the problem.

“But Born admitted that he and his team don’t know how restructuring of memories occurs or what governs it. Pierre Maquet and Perrine Ruby of the University of Liege in Belgium said the experimental evidence supports the anecdotal suggestions that sleep can help develop creative thinking. Although the role of sleep in human creativity will still be a mystery, the research gives people good reason to fully respect their periods of sleep, they added.

【1】The underlined phrase “sleep on it” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.

A.to get as much sleep as possible

B.to go on sleeping without being disturbed

C.to delay deciding something until the next day

D.to sleep till after the time you usually get up in the morning

【2】What is the purpose of the experiment?

A.To test problem-solving ability in sleep. B.To discover people’s insight during sleep.

C.To prove a good sleep helps solve problems. D.To discuss how to improve sleeping quality.

【3】How did Jan Born and his team carry out the experiment?

A.Through comparison. B.Through interviews.

C.Through talks. D.Through imagination.

【4】What can we learn about the experimental evidence?

A.It helps scientists control memories. B.It explains the role of sleep in human.

C.It tells us the role of sleep is a mystery. D.It shows sleep does good to creative thinking.

29、There’s a new AI bot: ChatGPT, and you’d better pay attention, even if you aren’t into artificial intelligence. The tool is an AI chatbot system that OpenAI released in November 2022 to show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can achieve.

ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models and is fine-tuned (a method of transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning (监督和强化学习).

You can ask ChatGPT anything, like explaining physics, asking for birthday party ideas and getting programming (编程) help. Perhaps it’s not smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative. A few days after its launch, more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.

ChatGPT is free to use at the moment because it is still in its research phase. But when too many people hop onto the server (服务器), it overloads and can’t process your request. It just means you should try visiting the site at a later time when fewer people are trying to access it. If you want to skip the wait and have reliable access, there is an option for you. As of Feb.1, 2023, OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users to have general access even during peak times. This service does come at a cost of $20 / month.’

However, ChatGPT can not replace Google. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence bot that provides solutions to your questions, but Google is a search engine in which you can search for as much information as possible. ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day.

【1】What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT?

A．Its language model.

B．Its working theory.

C．Its design inspiration.

D．Its development process.

【2】Why does the author list figures in paragraph 3?

A．To show the popularity of ChatGPT.

B．To stress the high cost of inventing ChatGPT.

C．To present the creativity of artificial intelligence.

D．To prove the necessity of developing tools for chatting online.

【3】What is ChatGPT Plus intended for?

A．Guiding users to experience free services.

B．Allowing net surfers to skip advertisements.

C．Helping researchers detect the failure of the system.

D．Offering consumers priority access during peak hours.

【4】What is a limitation of ChatGPT compared with Google?

A．It operates based on limited data.

B．It takes more time to search for solutions.

C．It can only update information at a fixed time.

D．It may provide replies unrelated to the questions.
