However, museums around the world are digitizing their collections, enabling people to tour the museums from afar.The British Museum, LondonThe British Museum contains objects from around the world, including the Rosetta Stone, with three versions of a text that helped researchers learn to read ancient Egyptian. The Great Courts ceiling, in the middle of the museum, is composed of 3212 pieces of glass, none of which are alike. The virtual tour of the museum offers a 360-degree view of the room, allowing visitors to look at every piece.MASP, S ão PauloThe first modern museum in Brazil, the Museu de Arte de São Paulo includes art from the 14th to the 20th centuries. The paintings, which are placed on glass panels, appear to be floating in mid-air. This setup, included in the virtual tour shows, makes the art appear almost magical.National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, KoreaThis Korean museum includes four branches in different cities and features works of art from Korea and around the world. The art includes a variety of media such as print, sculpture and photography. There are also online exhibitions such as “Artists in Their Times” which traces trends in Korean art since the late 1970s.The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles CountyThis museum, with locations in two different places, features art going back to The Neolithic Period. Its virtual tour, accessible through Google Arts & Culture, offers views of more recent works, including some by van Gogh and Renoir. Another platform, Xplorlt, also features views of some of the museums outdoor spaces.1. What can we learn about The British Museum?A. It is best known for the Rosetta Stone.B.

They are accessible on Google Arts & Culture.BRecently, I had the unexpected pleasure of witnessing a basketball game played by local villagers in Guizhou province. Despite being amateurs, the teams played with professional-level format and refereeing (裁判), creating an intense atmosphere. The rescheduled final game of the Guizhou country basketball league, known as the “Village Basketball Association (VBA),” took place in Taipan Village.The game attracted a large audience even on a weekday. The live stream of the game on social media platforms received 5.66 million views, generating buzz with hashtags like “what does sold-out look like.” So, why are grassroots competitions like this more attractive to people like me than professional games? I believe its because sports arise from the grassroots level, allowing everyone to connect socially and find common ground.The VBA reminded me of a basketball game I experienced during my visit to Yangshuo in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. Bored of the scenic landscapes, I took a break and joined the locals and other visitors on the sidelines. Sitting on the bare ground, I felt so authentic and free that it released all my thoughts and emotions. Similarly, in the VBA game, the winning team received modest prizes like live ducks and cooked meat, showcasing the genuine and down-to-earth nature of the competition. I even wondered if the players were cooks or farmers who could prepare the food right off the court.The sudden popularity of the VBA can originate from the pervasive influence of social media and peoples desire to explore something different from their immediate surroundings. However, what truly resonates (共鸣) and has the potential for further growth is the pursuit (追求) of spiritual fulfillment. Grassroots sports offer an accessible and fulfilling experience, making them an ideal destination for individuals seeking a deeper connection.4. What made the basketball game in Guizhou attractive?A. The professional-level players.B. The large number of viewers.C. The involvement of local villagers.D. The VBA offers better prizes.5. How did the author feel while watching the basketball game in Yangshuo?A. A connection with other audience.B. A sense of authenticity and freedom.C. A sense of loneliness from the locals.D. A sense of boredom from the landscape.6. According to the last paragraph, which has NOT contributed to the popularity of the VBA?A The impact of social media.B. The attempt to achieve a spiritual satisfaction.C. The eagerness for the newness in their surroundings.D. The perfect opportunity to realize ones sportsmanship.7. Whats the best title of the passage?A. VBAan Online HitB. My Special Encounter with a VBA GameC. The Game for Prosperity and HappinessD. VBAa Path to Grassroots SuccessC“Dear Afu, who is Beyonce?”“Beyonce is an American singer, songwriter, actress, record producer, and dancer, who set a record with 32 Grammy wins.”“Good. Tell me how I can have two girlfriends.”“Are you crazy? If you do that, your secret wont go undiscovered!”This was a conversation I had in a WeChat group called “Talking with your robot”, an account based on Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer technology. To me, the respondent was no different than a real person. ChatGPT as the new-generation talking AI has impressed global users, me included, ever since it surfaced online on Nov 30.The new feature can answer questions, do translations, summarize essays and even draft codes for a computer program. It is as good as a human living inside a computer.ChatGPT is making life very convenient. A time might come when one hands it content and it produces a well-made Powerpoint presentation. That could, however, mean job losses. After all, if a computer program can write code, then it would make a programmer redundant.That may be a worry, but it is still premature. ChatGPT has more advanced learning features, but it still follows the same technological path. Its biggest advantage lies in the ability to carefully examine an ocean of data and rebuild words into a language, but its still not that creative.Artificial intelligence can quickly draw a picture, but that picture will be based on pictures it is fed. It can also write science fiction, but based on content about the future that it has read.In comparison, a human brain imagines the future and then puts in efforts to realize it. AI can imagine a future with faster spaceships, but it cant imagine a world of space elevators as humans can. So, there is no need to worry too much. By being creative there will be plenty of opportunities for humans to score over AI.8. Whats the purpose of the dialogue in the beginning?A. To introduce the features of ChatGPT.B. To explain how artificial intelligence works.C. To explore the creative capabilities of humans.D. To discuss the advantages of having two girlfriends.9. What does the underlined word “redundant” mean in the passage?A. Convenient.B. Advanced.C. Creative.D. Unnecessary.10. What is the main advantage of ChatGPT mentioned in the passage?A. It can create original content.B. It can summarize essays effectively.C. It can imagine a world with space elevators.D. It can reorganize the language based on the large amounts of data.11. Which of the following can best describe the authors attitude towards the future of humans?A. Worried.B. Optimistic.C. Unconcerned.D. Objective.DProcessed foods like chips, sodas and frozen pizzas are full of salt, sugar, and fat. Now, scientists are trying to understand if there is something else about such foods that may be bad for humans.The researchers created a system that places foods into four groups. The system says highly processed foods are made mostly of industrialized materials and additives (添加剂). Sodas, packaged cookies, instant noodles and chicken nuggets (鸡肉块) are some examples of highly processed foods. But also included are products that can seem healthy, such as morning cereals, energy bars and some kinds of yogurt.Researchers conducted a four-week study involving 20 people. They found that people ate about 500 more calories a day when fed mostly processed foods. That is compared to when the same people were given less processed foods. The researchers permitted the 20 participants to eat as much or as little as they wanted. They were taken to a medical center so their health and behavior could be observed. In another study, researchers in France found people who ate more processed foods were more likely to have heart disease. A similar study in Spain linked eating more processed foods to a higher risk of death in general.The scientists also found that people ate processed foods more quickly. Kevin Hall is one of the researchers who led the study. He said that processed foods were usually softer and easier to chew and swallow. Hall noted the source of nutrients might make a difference. For example, fiber from fruit and vegetables may be better for making people feel full than fiber added to packaged foods such as energy bars and yogurt.Avoiding processed foods can be hard, especially for people with limited time and money. Processed foods can also take many forms. In addition, companies continually re-engineer products to make them seem healthier. The newest studies may provide more reasons to avoid processed foods. But, they also call attention to the difficulty of coming up with ways to do that.12. What kind of food do energy bars belong to?A. Highly processed foods.B. Especially beneficial foods.C. Relatively high-cost foods.D. Fairly health-friendly foods.13. What can we know about eating more processed foods in Paragraph 3?A. It can often result in death.B. It makes people get less calories.C. It does harm to people potentially.D. It makes little difference to peoples health.14. What is more likely to make people feel full?A. Fiber added to packaged foods.B. Fiber from fruit and vegetables.C. Highly processed foods like instant noodles.D Foods made mostly of industrial materials and additives.15. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Researches reveal more harm of processed foods .B. Processed foods include a wide range of products.C. People have a higher tendency of eating processed foods.D. It is necessary for people to avoid highly processed foods.第二节(共5小题;每小题 2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。We youngsters believe that our responsibilities to the country begin only when we enter the workforce.
