• 1．California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s，according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor （因素）.
     The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46，000 square miles of California forests，the new study finds.No area was spared or unaffected，from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles.In the Sierra high country，the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent；in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
     Many factors contributed to the decline said Patrick McIntyre，an ecologist who was the lead author of the study.Woodcutters targeted big trees.Housing development pushed into the woods.Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources （資源）.
     But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010，McIntyre and his colleagues documented widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.
     The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage.The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed，taking into account such things as rainfall air temperature，dampness of soil，and the timing of snowmelt （融雪）.
     Since the 1930s，McIntyre said，the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures，which cause trees to lose more water to the air，and earlier snowmelt，which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.
  
  （1）What is the second paragraph mainly about？

  
  A．The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.
  B．The increasing variety of California big trees.
  C．The distribution of big trees in California forests.
  D．The influence of fanning on big trees in California.
  （2）Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees？

  
  A．Ecological studies of forests.
  B．Banning woodcutting.
  C．Limiting housing development.
  D．Fire control measures.
  （3）What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre？

  
  A．Inadequate snowmelt.
  B．A longer dry season.
  C．A warmer climate.
  D．Dampness of the air.
  （4）What can be a suitable title for the text？

  
  A．California's Forests：Where Have All the Big Trees Gone？
  B．Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon
  C．Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests？
  D．Patrick McIntyre：Grow More Big Trees in California

• 2．Plato （柏拉圖） was upset about the invention of the alphabet （字母表） because，with this "technology"，learners would not use their memories and thus appear to be a know-it-all but actually know nothing.If Plato were alive today，what would he say about ChatGPT？ChatGPT，a conversational artificial intelligence program released recently by OpenAI，is a significant advancement that can produce articles comparable to good high school essays.
     When I asked ChatGPT a range of simple questions，the answers were well-reasoned and clear.It's also interactive：I could ask for more details or request changes.But then，on trickier topics or more complicated concepts，ChatGPT gave completely wrong answers.
     However，that doesn't mean ChatGPT can't be a useful tool in education.Schools have already been dealing with the Internet's wealth of knowledge，along with its misleading essay mills （制造廠）.One way has been to change how they teach.Rather than listen to a lectures in class and then go home to research and write an essay，students listen to recorded lectures and do research ai home，then write essays in class，with supervision，even cooperation with peers （同齡人） and teachers.This is called flipped classrooms，in which students wouldn't use ChatGPT to create a whole essay.Instead，they'd use it as a tool to generate critically examined building blocks of essays.
     Plato was wrong to think that memory itself is a goal rather than a means for people to have facts so they can make better analyses and arguments.As Plato was wrong to fear the written word as the enemy，we would be wrong to think we should resist a process that allows us to gather information more easily.
  The way forward is not just to feel regret for replaced skills，as Plato did，but also to recognize that as more complex skills become essential，our society must fairly educate people to develop them.And then it always goes back to the basics.Value people as people，not just as packs of skills.And that isn't something ChatGPT can tell us how to do.
  
  （1）What would probably be Plato's attitude toward ChatGPT？

  
  A．Supportive.
  B．Objective.
  C．Critical.
  D．Tolerant.
  （2）How do students use ChalGPT according to the text？

  
  A．They use it for error correction.
  B．They rely on it to conduct peer reviews.
  C．They rely on It to create a whole essay.
  D．They use it as part of their research.
  （3）What mistake did Plato make according to the text？

  
  A．He confused facts with opinions.
  B．He used written words to attack his enemy.
  C．He put too much emphasis on memory.
  D．He doubted easily accessible information.
  （4）What is suggested to our society in the last paragraph？

  
  A．Improving ChatGPT
  B．Equipping all people with necessary skills.
  C．Bringing people with different skills together.
  D．Bringing new life to replaced skills.

• 4．The Trans-Siberian Railway is a single train line that crosses nearly the complete length of Russia，from Moscow to Vladivostok.It covers a total of 5，772 miles，running from Europe to Asia.Unlike the longest flight in the world，which just began transporting passengers in 2018，the Trans-Siberian Railway started its business in 1916.
     Anyone who has taken this long journey，or even just part of it，will tell you that it travels at a rather slow speed，passing through some amazing，remote areas of Russia.You don't have to make the full journey without stopping.Instead，you're recommended to get off where there are attractive views，since it stops in some pretty fantastic places.But you certainly can take the full journey non-stop.If you do，the trip will take about 144 hours-six full days!
     You can book tickets with travel agencies.You can also make the booking online and tickets will be sent to your hotel or personal address.Children under 4 years old accompanied by adults can travel free，but cannot take up a seat.A child ticket needs to be bought if you want to get a seat for the child.
     There are longer railway services in the transportation world，but only one of them is a passenger line as some longer routes transport goods，not travellers.This railway may not be the fastest or the most modern，but it's clearly still an important player in the transportation world!
  
  （1）Why is the longest flight mentioned in the first paragraph？

  
  A．To compare the two different ways of transport.
  B．To state the Trans-Siberian Railway is out of date.
  C．To explain how long the Trans-Siberian Railway covers.
  D．To show the great history of the Trans-Siberian Railway.
  （2）Which of the following statements about the Trans-Siberian Railway is TRUE？

  
  A．A non-stop journey is suggested.
  B．It takes six full days to finish a non-stop trip.
  C．Children are always free of charge on this trip.
  D．It is the longest railway in the transportation world.
  （3）Where does this passage probably come from？

  
  A．A history textbook.
  B．A science fiction.
  C．A business journal.
  D．A travel magazine.

• 5．How to become a scientist Be curious.Scientists choose to become scientists because they are curious about the world around them and how the things in it work.This curiosity leads them to investigate the how and why behind what they see.
     （1）

  .Becoming a scientist takes a long time.There are very few careers that take longer than this one.Even when you're doing with your education，you still have to get research under your belt.If you're an instant-gratification（即時滿足） type of person，this may not be the right career for you.
     Be diligent and persevere.It's been said that jobs in science are the lowest paid in the US.What this is getting at is that because of the long path to success，for a while you won't be living lavishly（豐富地）.（2）

  .
     Have the need to always keep learning.（3）

  Whether it's reading peer-reviewed journals，attending seminars，or working toward getting yourself published，you'll always be learning.
    （4）

  .In those years of waiting for results，you need to constantly be looking for the smallest changes in what you expect to see.Your eye needs to be focused and ready at all times.
     Think differently.Think back to Newton's apple falling on his head or Archimedes' jumping into his tub and displacing water.Most people would think nothing of these events，but these men saw something else，something no one else was seeing at the time.（5）

  .
  
  A.Observation skills are also necessary.
  B.Be patient in climbing the career ladder.
  C.Things are going to be tough for a while.
  D.Then you're probably made of the right stuff.
  E.As the saying goes，"Where there is a will，there is a way."
  F.Actually what every scientist does is seek out knowledge.
  G.To make progress in human knowledge，you have to think differently.
