He was found over 200 kilometers away across sea ice.Mandy Iwworrigan lives on St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Strait in the western part of Alaska. The Bering Strait is the icy waterway that separates the United States and Russia.Nanuq disappeared in March when Iwworrigan and her family went to see her uncle and aunt on another part of St. Lawrence Island. She believed Nanuq and another dog ran out onto the ice looking for food. The other dog, Starlight, stayed away for weeks but came home. Nanuq didn't come back.About one month later, Iwworrigan said people in the town of Wales began posting photos of a dog they, d found on social media. Her father showed her the photos and said the dog in the photos looked like Nanuq. Iwworrigan looked at the photos and yelled: "That's our dog. What's he doing in Wales?”If you look at a map, you can see that the town of Wales and St. Lawrence Island are separated by a lot of water. But in the winter, most of it freezes. This might have permitted Nanuqto cover 241 kilometers either floating or running on the ice. But no one will ever know everything about Nanuq's story or how he survived for so long.“I have no idea how he ended up in Wales J the owner said. "Maybe the ice shifted while he was hunting. Iwworrigan said the dog probably ate the remains of other animals such as a seal or caught and ate a seal. "He's smart J she said.Nanuq came home to his family on an airplane last week and Iwworrigan daughter, Brooklyn, yelled with happiness when she saw him. The dog had been bitten by another animal but was in good shape after his long time away from home.4. When did Nanuq run out of sight?A.

What does the underlined word "This" in paragraph 5 refer to?A.The shallow waters.B.The floating ice.C.The frozen surface.D.The separation of Wales and St.Lawrence.7. What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph?A. Brooklyn brought Nanuq back home by air.B. Nanuq had an accident during his disappearance.C.

Most solar panels are placed on land. But recently people have begun to explore putting floating solar panels on water. Because these panels float, some people call them "floatovoltaics”.On land, solar panels are fixed on roofs or are held up by special frames. On the water, floatovoltaics are placed on a raft or floating platform attached to the bottom of a lake or reservoir.（水库）.The raft usually has a space for workers to walk out and mend the panels, if needed. Floating solar panels cost about 25%more than those placed on land.The researchers in a new study looked at 114,555 reservoirs worldwide. They used computer programs to figure out how much electricity could be produced yearly by covering 30% of these reservoirs with floating solar panels. The answer was surprisingly large10 times as much energy as all the solar power being produced in the world.The scientists found floatovoltaics would be especially conducive when reservoirs werenear smaller cities （50,000 people or fewer）. The researchers say there are about 6,256 cities like this around the world, and floating solar panels could provide all the electricity the cities need. Floatovoltaics can also help save water by limiting evaporation (蒸发)from reservoirs. The scientists say that solar panels covering just 30%of the reservoirs9 surfaces could save as much water as 300,000 people would use in a year.There are several other reasons that make floatovoltaics a good idea. Solar panels work better when they're not extremely hot. The water helps cool the panels so that they create more energy.However, covering too much of a reservoir with panels could affect the plants and animals in the water. The scientists say it will be important to study how floating panels will affect water in each reservoir. Focusing first on man-made reservoirs and canals will avoid some of those problems.8. . Why is a space usually left on the raft?A. To prevent the raft from being over-burdened.B. Out of consideration for the efficiency of floatovoltaics.C. To prevent solar panels from being wetted by water.D. For the convenience of repairing broken solar panels.9. What does the underlined word “conducive” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Affordable. B. Useful.C. Demanding. D. Troublesome.10. Whafs one of the advantages of floatovoltaics over solar panels on land?A. They are easier to fix.B. They are less expensive.C. They are less likely to break down. D. They are more productive during certain times.11. What does the last paragraph imply about floatovoltaics?A. They are imperfect.B. They affect agriculture.C. They are environment-friendly.D. They only apply to artificial canals.Most people have probably read a book or seen a movie or show about an AI (Artificial Intelligence) or robot that has become so smart that it can take over the world. The AI in stories like this is known as an AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). A true AGI would be intelligent in many different areas and would be able to learn on its own. Cun-ently, there are no AGIs. Most experts believe it will be many years before an AGI could possibly be created.Most cun-ent AI tools are good at just one task. But scientists have been working to improve AI models. The Al tool that's gotten the most attention recently is ChatGPT, which allows users to "chat" with a powerful Large Language Model (LLM). When asked a question, ChatGPT answers quickly in perfect sentences. It makes up stories and games, writes essays, and much more.ChatGPT appears to be extremely intelligent. But really, ChatGPT is simply guessing-based on its training information-which word is most likely to come next, over and over again. Last month, OpenAI announced a more powerful model-GPT-4. GPT-4 can create and explain jokes, and pass tests difficult for humans. GPT-4 has also been trained on pictures, and can be used in powerful ways. For example, it can create a working website from a description and a rough drawing of the site.The rapid progress and more general skills of recent AI models worry some people. Last week, many computer experts published a letter calling for a six-month pause for any work on AI tools stronger than GPT-4 to make sure AI tools are safe.However, some AI experts say the letter makes today's Al tools sound more intelligent than they really are. Others say it's more important to worry about real problems in current AI tools rather than imaginary ones in the future. Anyway, the letter has sent a strong warning that many people, including leaders, will be thinking about carefully.12. Whafs most experts' opinion on an AGI?A.It is relatively easy to access.B.It lacks the ability to teach itself.C.It takes time to turn it into reality.D.It is certain to take over the world.13. Strictly speaking, what ChatGPT does is.A.full of creativityB.pure guessworkC.well worth promotingD.a reflection of high intelligence14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Not all AI experts agree with the letter.B , The intelligence of today's AI tools is understated.C. Potential problems of future AI tools need attention.D. The letter appeals for focus on real problems in current AI tools.15 . What can be the best title for the text?A. Problems Resulting from AI Tools B. The Fast Development of AI ToolsC. Are AI Tools the Trend of the Future? D. Are AI Tools Becoming Too Powerful?二、七选五Trying to get a great night's sleep is often harder than it looks. 16 On the other hand, a large part of the population spends hours twisting and turning until they can get to sleep.

The company made the creation in a science museum in the Netherlands just days before April 1. "This isn't 37 April Fools' joke,“ said Tim Noakesmith, 38 is the founder of the Australian company.The company, Vow, combined genetic information from the mammoth and African elephants, which can be seen as the 39 (close) living relative of mammoth.
