Because of his condition, he began using a wheelchair at age 4. His mother, Sandy Gilbreath, raised him as a single parent. Although taking care of a child with a disability was challenging, she ensured that Cory didn't miss out on the fun things in life. Sandy took him on road trips during summer breaks throughout his childhood. The exciting experiences of exploring new places inspired him to set a lifelong goal of visiting all seven continents.Fortunately, Cory was able to do that just before the COVID-19 started. He and his mother traveled to Antarctica in February, just before the borders closed. It was the seventh and final continent off his list. He became the first-ever wheelchair user to visit all the seven continents!According to Cory, traveling in a wheelchair requires a wide range of planning and research. He starts his research six to twelve months before each trip, making sure that there are accessible transportation options in the location. He would also call up hotels or rental homes to confirm if they are truly as accessible as they claim to be.When Cory started going on adventures, there weren't many online resources discussing accessible travel. To help other travelers with disabilities explore the world as he does, he decided to share his knowledge in his blog. Aiming to promote representation of the wheelchair-using community, Cory and his mother wrote a children's book, titled Let's Explore with Cor Cor, which is about a boy who travels around the world in his powered wheelchair.Traveling to all seven continents wasn't something I was sure was going to be possible," he said.

The chatbots sudden huge popularity can make accessing the service pretty tricky. And while its fun to chat with the AI or even get it to write essays or take exams, some people want guaranteed access so they can use the chatbot for professional purposes. Earlier this month, OpenAI announced that it may soon start offering a paid-for version of ChatGPT with an option called ChatGPT Professional. A waitlist that OpenAI posted to the server detailed what pro users might expect. The professional offering, which OpenAI described as “experimental”, will be “always available,” offer “fast responses from ChatGPT,” and would provide “as many messages as you need.” The waitlist also noted that, if selected, OpenAI would reach out to you individually to set up a payment process and a pilot. Now it seems like OpenAI has picked its early access users and they are sharing some insights. Zahid Khawaja, an early access user, shared a video on Twitter running a test prompt on the pro version that ran much quicker than the free version the rest of the public has access to. In the video, Khawaja showed his subscription cost, which comes in at $ 42 a month. How OpenAI decided on $ 42 a month is yet to be revealed-perhaps its yet another Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference. However, in December Sam Altman, OpenAls chief executive said the average cost of each response was in “single-digits cents”, but he admitted it will need to charge the service eventually because of its “eye-watering“ compute costs. A recent agreement with Microsoft, which will see the software giant invest billions in OpenAI over the next few years, will also likely help. Despite its popularity, ChatGPT isnt the only AI chatbot on the market. The $ 42 a month price tag is causing some users to seek other alternatives that might be more cost effective and just as efficient.；8What does the author think of having access to the service?ANot easy.BNot good.CNot tough.DNot slow.；9Which of the following isnt provided in the professional version of ChatGPT?AAll-time availability.BEnough information.CFree subscription.DFaster response.；10Why was the service charged in the end?AIt is to be revealed next month.BIt is customers requirements.CIt needs Microsofts investment.DIt needs very high running costs.；11What can be inferred from the last paragraph?AChatGPT charges the lowest on the market.BChatGPT will lose most of its access users.CChatGPT may lose some targeted customers.DChatGPT is more effective and efficient.D（议论文）People generally feel secure with certainty. To be certain is to have power and control. Certainty is often used as a metric (衡量标准) of value, shaping how people view themselves and others. For example, people tend to respect those who present themselves ascertain while viewing those who express uncertainty as wishy-washy, and untrustworthy. Young people growing up in a culture that identifies strongly with certainty are told that to be certain is to be secure, right, and good. It is the idea, more than uncertainty itself, that causes great anxiety.But the reality is that certainty is transient; it is more a feeling than a fact. Too often people act as if certainties are drawn in permanent marker: Thick, clear, definitive, and rigid. But they are not. They are actually drawn with pencilready for revision, editing, and change.Spring tides recent report, The State of Religion and Young People: Navigating Uncertainty, allows us to hear how young people are questioning certainty and increasingly rejecting the rules that isolate them from themselves and one another. Milly, a 25-year-old quoted in the report, described her experience in a group discussion where uncertainty was welcomed rather than criticized：“Like, struggling to know what or what not to believe.Thats something we talked about in the group. It actually makes me feel a little bit better. Its like, oh, like we can have doubts. We can struggle with these feelings and theyre still, were still accepted, you know? So that was actually kind of refreshing” (Spring tide, 2021, p.46).Young people are not rejecting certainty, but they are not accepting prepackaged answers or one-dimensional solutions. They are reexamining pre-drawn labels, beliefs, and identities and daring to ask “Why?” Their courage to question is an invitation to all of us to reconsider and rediscover uncertainty. We can listen to and learn from young people, embracing(拥抱)this opportunity as a moment of critical self-reflection and growth. If we will accept uncertainties, we might discover the ways that multiple beliefs, practices, values, identities, and communities can coexist and develop together.；12What is the purpose of paragraph 1?ATo explain a concept.BTo advocate a culture.CTo introduce a different opinion.DTo confirm an assumption.；13What does the underlined word “transient” probably mean in paragraph 2?AChangeable.BPredictable.CPopular.DObjective.；14What was Millys attitude towards the group discussion?AIntolerant.BDoubtful.CUnconcerned.DPositive.；15Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?AUnmask the Culture of CertaintyBEmbrace the Gift of UncertaintyCCertainty: Should It Be Rejected by the Young?DUncertainty: Should It Be Blamed for Anxiety?总结与反思【参考答案】 1C 2B 3D 4B 5D 6C 7A 8A 9C 10D 11C 12C 13A 14D 15B第 5 页，共 5 页学科网（北京）股份有限公司
