This advancement has made the competition in the AI field even stronger, but it has also sparked discussions about how AI might affect people’s mental well-being and job opportunities in the future.Available to all ChatGPT users at no cost, GPT-5 shows improvements in writing, programming, and answering health questions. Most importantly, it makes 45% fewer factual mistakes than GPT-4 and clearly tells users when it doesn’t know something, instead of making up answers.OpenAI’s leader Sam Altman praised GPT-5 as a big step toward AI that thinks like humans. He explained, “While GPT-4 was like talking to a college student, GPT-5 feels like getting advice from a top expert in many fields. “With 700 million people using it every week, OpenAI stays ahead despite new competitors.One exciting new feature is “prompt-based programming,” which lets users create working software just by giving simple instructions. During a test, GPT-5 built a website with fun games to help people learn French in only a few minutes, proving how useful it could be for programmers.However, concerns (关注) remain about jobs being replaced by AI. Some tech leaders say AI now handles (处理) more than 40% of basic coding work. Others worry about people relying (依赖) too much on AI, sharing a story where a man’s constant use of AI hurt his family relationships.As GPT-5 becomes more common in schools and offices, it shows both the amazing possibilities and the social challenges that come with advanced AI technology.1．What is one key improvement of GPT-5?A．It can speak 10 new languages.B．It has 45% fewer factual errors.C．It is free for only premium users.D．It runs on solar power.2．What is the author’s opinion on how GPT-5 influences society?A．Entirely positive, with no drawbacks.B．Favorably only for educational use.C．As a threat to human creativity.D．Two-sided, highlighting both benefits and challenges.3．This passage can be divided into several parts. Which one is the most reasonable (合理的) ?A．①/②③/④⑤/⑥B．①②/③④/⑤/⑥C．①/②/③④/⑤⑥D．①②③/④⑤/⑥4．Which of the following statements is not right?A．Sam Altman thinks GPT-5 is as good as a top expert.B．When GPT-5 doesn’t know something, it won’t create an answer.C．The competition in the AI field becomes stronger because of GPT-5.D．Prompt-based programming will make traditional programmers unnecessary.5．What is the main purpose of the article?A．To advertise GPT-5 as the best AI ever.B．To warn against using AI at all.C．To report GPT-5’s upgrades and effects on society.D．To compare GPT-5 with other companies’ products.BYou may have a house robot that can do housework for you. But is it so smart? Meet Laura, a robot in Spanish National Library in Madrid, Spain, copying out (抄写) the old books and writings in its collection. See Aurora, a headless dog-sized robot used to keep birds and other animals away at an Alaskan airport. Watch another 1.8-meter-tall legless robot called EveR6, waving its arms to guide musicians through a performance. Those robots above require artificial intelligence (AI)  (人工智能). AI is a computer system that can understand languages, make decisions and solve problems. AI can be taught skills using a process called machine learning. Humans give AI information such as books, photos or videos to train it. The more information it studies, the better it can do its job. ★ . For example, when you watch TV, AI is watching you. It’ll know what your favorite is and suggest similar ones. In hospitals, AI is very good at suggesting treatments and can even invent new medicines. To cut down food waste, some schools introduce online systems for the students to choose meals ahead of time. In cities, AI is used to watch out for cars that make black smoke. It works together with the police and transportation teams to stop them and keep the air clean. AI can help us fight climate change by finding clever ways to reduce energy use. Some people worry that AI will take away a large number of jobs and also fear that AI could develop out of our control and bring danger to humans. However, AI is expected to be a more powerful production tool that will help humans achieve more in less time. It is believed that the flying car will be made to offer an easier way out of the morning traffic jam (交通堵塞). Humans imagine AI might even find a way to solve the problems of our energy needs completely. Anyway, there is still a long journey for humans and AI.1．In which pictures can we see Aurora and EveR6?A     B     C     D A．a, cB．b, dC．b, cD．a, d2．What BIG question does Paragraph 2 answer?A．What is AI?B．Why are AI robots made?C．Where is AI used?D．How many AI robots are mentioned?3．Which of the following can be put in ★ ?A．AI will be developed rapidlyB．Humans depend too much on AIC．Humans wonder if AI could thinkD．AI has become part of daily life4．In the future, AI is expected to be able to ________.A．suggest TV programsB．cut down food wasteC．invent new medicinesD．help produce enough energy5．What would the author write about after the last paragraph?A．The end of AI.B．The history of AI.C．The way to get along with AI.D．The skill of making AI robots.CWith the development of science and technology, our daily life is becoming more colorful and more convenient (便利). 1．Which of the following about “the underwater hotel” is TRUE?A．The underwater hotel looks like a spaceship.B．A company built the underwater hotel in the sea.C．The underwater hotel is about 80 metres below.D．You can only get to the hotel by swimming.2．Which one of the following can make us do less housework in our daily life?A．The underwater hotelB．Google GlassC．The Wool &Prince shirtD．The digital library3．You needn’t use ________ when you take photos or video with Google Glass.A．a cameraB．a screenC．a batteryD．your hand4．The Digital Library tells us something about a library without ________.A．booksB．computersC．librariansD．readers5．Which part of the magazine can we read the material above?A．SportsB．ScienceC．FashionD．News第二节阅读下面语篇,根据语篇内容回答问题。(共5小题,每小题2分，共10分)The days of staring at a map or the screen of your smartphone when you’re lost will soon be over—thanks to new shoes that tell you which way to turn.

Lawrence believes the shoes will also improve road safety. “If I’m on my bike or motorbike, I don’t want to stare at my phone—it’s dangerous,” he says. “I’d rather be guided by my footwear.”He believes his invention will prove ②_________ for the visually impaired (视觉障碍者) and has promised that every pair sold by Ducere will subsidise (补助) a cheaper pair for a visually impaired person. The shoes don’t impress explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, however. “What’s wrong with a good old-fashioned map?” said the 70-year-old when told of the shoes. “If you rely too heavily on technology, you’re heading for trouble. Too many people have forgotten the basics: how to read a map and a compass.”1．将①处画线句子翻译成汉语。 2．Why does Lawrence think the shoes can improve road safety? (no more than 13 words) 3．What is Sir Ranulph Fiennes’ opinion about the shoes? (no more than 7 words) 4．在②处填入适当的单词, 使句意完整。 5．根据短文内容, 在空白处填入恰当的短语, 使句意完整。We should remember how to and because they are the basics.五、选词填空(本大题共10小题,每小题1分，共10分)从方框中选择合适的单词并用其适当形式填空With the development of Internet technology, the two-dimensional code (二维码) is very popular among us.
