24、   It is said that more than four million people die each year from smoking. That number is increasing. Seven in ten of those deaths are in developing countries. These numbers are frightening（令人恐惧的）.

Yet people around the world continue to smoke. The Great American Smokeout has been founded for twenty-five years to show the dangers of smoking and provide support for people who decide to stop smoking. The American Cancer Society says all cigarettes damage the body. It warns that smoking even a small number of cigarettes is dangerous. It is not easy to give up smoking forever. However, doctors say they probably will live longer if they do stop smoking. They will feel better and look better. They also will protect the health of family members who breathe their smoke.

The American Cancer Society says there is not just one right way to stop smoking. Any useful way to stop smoking is worth tying. They may take long walks or spend time in places where smoking is not allowed. Also, they could eat a small piece of fruit instead of having a cigarette.

The American Cancer Society says the sooner smokers stop smoking, the more they can reduce their risks of getting cancer and other diseases. It says blood pressure（血压）returns to normal twenty minutes after smoking the last cigarette. Carbon monoxide（一氧化碳）gas levels in the blood return to normal after eight hours. After one day, the risk of heart attack reduces. After one year, the risk of heart disease for a non-smoker is half that of a smoker.

Stop smoking before smoking stops you!

【1】How many people die from smoking in developing countries each year?

A.2,600,000. B.2,700,000. C.2,800,000. D.2,900,000.

25、ChatGPT, a smart AI chatbot (聊天机器人) tool, has swept the education world in the past months. According to a US survey of more than 1,000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with their homework.

Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT is a powerful tool. You can ask it to write stories and e-mails, create recipes (食谱), translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions.

Some schools in the US, Australia and France have banned (禁止) the use of ChatGPT. In the US, for example, New York City public schools banned students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the district’s networks and devices (设备).

The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on homework. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread inaccurate (不准确的) information.

“It does not build critical-thinking (批判性思维) and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for academic (学术的) and lifelong success,” said Jenna Lyle, the deputy press secretary of the New York City Department of Education.

Apart from bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to block the use of ChatGPT. Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones.

However, not all educators say “no” to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are drafting (起草) policies on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to completely ban the tool so far.

Bhaskar Vira, pro-vice-chancellor (副校长) for education at the University of Cambridge in the UK, said that bans on AI software like ChatGPT are not sensible (明智的). “We have to know that [AI] is a tool people will use,” he told Varsity, the school newspaper of the university. What we need to do is “adapt our learning, teaching and examinations”. That way, we can “have integrity (诚信) while recognizing the use of the tool”.

【1】Some schools in the US banned the use of ChatGPT because ________.

A．students may use it to cheat on homework

B．it hardly provides correct information

C．it takes the place of teachers

【2】Jenna Lyle thinks that ________.

A．ChatGPT is necessary for academic and lifelong success

B．using ChatGPT is not good for developing students’ minds

C．ChatGPT is so far the smartest AI chatbot tool

【3】What did the educators in the US do to avoid the use of ChatGPT?

a. They blocked students’ access to the tool.

b. They learned to recognize papers written by ChatGPT.

c. They changed the forms of assignment.

d. They suggested laws to ban the use of ChatGPT.

A．ab

B．ac

C．bc

【4】Which opinion is NOT mentioned in the story?

A．Using ChatGPT makes students lazy in thinking.

B．The complete ban on using ChatGPT is not wise.

C．ChatGPT will completely change education.

26、Here are a number of ways to help improve your English vocabulary.

Synonyms (同义词) and Antonyms (反义词)

Synonyms are words that have the similar meanings, such as happy and joyful. Synonyms can be useful when you don’t want to repeat the same word again and again. Antonyms are the words that have the opposite meanings. Life is full of antonyms.

Memorize common prefixes (前缀), roots (根) and suffixes (后缀)

Many English words can be divided into different parts, which are called prefixes, roots and suffixes. A prefix comes at the beginning of a word, a suffix comes at the end of a word, and the root is the main part of a word. For example, the word “happily” is made up of the word “happy” and the suffix“-ly”. However, if you add a prefix “un-” to the word “happy”, the new word becomes “unhappy”, which means not happy. In your vocabulary notebook, make a list of prefixes and suffixes as you come across them. It is one of the keys to success for high-level English learners.

Vocabulary Trees

Vocabulary trees help provide context (语境). Once you’ve drawn a few vocabulary trees, you’ll discover yourself thinking in vocabulary groups. When you see a cup, your mind will quickly relate such words as knife, fork, plate, dishes, etc. By connecting these vocabulary trees into a word web, you can remember more related words together.

【1】What is the antonym of the word “usual”?

A．Common.

B．Same.

C．Strange.

D．Direct

【2】What is “ment” in the word “development”?

A．A prefix.

B．A word root

C．A suffix

D．A word

【3】Which is the best title for the passage?

A．The development of English

B．Ways to learn a new language

C．The importance of studying English

D．Ways to increase English vocabulary

27、Dear Mum and Dad,
