(B) My friend helped me celebrate my 31st birthday in a basement (地下室), where I lived. Then, I finally climbed into bed at 1:20 in the morning. Earlier in the day, I was preparing for the possible flood. We were living near the Ahr River. It went on raining heavily that week and the government sent out a flood warning, although it was not for where I was. However, I put sand bags on the floor outside my garden door. “Silly brother!” My friends laughed at me for doing that. But I thought, why take a chance? As I was sleeping, I was woken by the sound of rushing water. It sounded like lying beside a waterfall. When I got off the bed, I was shocked that cold water was rising fast. In darkness, I picked up my cellphone and turned on the flashlight. When I got out of the bedroom, I saw water shooting through the bottom of the door. I began to feel afraid. I knew I had to get out-fast! Without shoes, I started to make my way to the only escape: the door that led upstairs to the main floor. Finally I made it to the door and tried several times to pull it open even just a little bit, but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open. There was a stick in the corner. I took it and, once again, opened the door, throwing it between the door and the frame (门框) to keep the door open. Finally, I managed to go through and make it into the living room. I jumped onto the stairs and ran outside. I stood there in the darkness, wet through. The street was once lovely full of people and cars, but now it was like a water pool with floating things. The river had drowned the neighbourhood! I couldn’t help thinking: What would happen if I hadn’t done any preparations? I might have lost my life! Never take a chance and always be prepared!29. Why did the writer’s friends laugh at him?A.

(C) A company called OpenAI has recently announced a new version (版本) of its AI artist, DALL-E 2. Given just a short sentence describing a picture, the tool can create different pictures in many different styles. The name “DALL-E” mixes the name of the robot in the movie WALL-E, and the name of the famous Spanish artist Salvador Dalí. He painted amazing but impossible pictures. Like Dalí, DALL-E 2 can create pictures that are unbelievable, for example, Teddy bears doing crazy experiments as scientists. OpenAI has already changed the world once with its AI writing tool, GPT-3. GPT-3 was trained on a great deal of writing in many different styles. When it came out in 2020, it surprised people by quickly creating complete and well-written articles in different styles. It is so powerful that OpenAI has tried to be prudent when it comes to how it allows people to use the tool, to make sure that it isn’t used for harmful purposes. DALL-E actually grew out of an effort to make full use of GPT-3 to pictures. OpenAI released the first version of DALL-E in 2021. DALL-E 2 is even more powerful. DALL-E 2 has been trained on huge numbers of pictures with matching descriptions, which means it “knows” a lot about how different things look, even when they’re shown in different styles, such as a photo, a painting or even a cartoon. Does DALL-E 2 have anything new? The user can select an area of an image and ask DALL-E 2 to put something into the picture, or take it out. Some artists are worried that it will take their place if a computer system can create such high-quality pictures so conveniently. OpenAI says the tool will allow artists to be creative in new ways. To make sure the tool is properly used, OpenAI already has strict rules about the types of pictures that can be created with DALL-E. One of those rules avoids DALL-E to create realistic pictures of actual people. By now, the company hasn’t released DALL-E 2. Instead, it is allowing a small number of people to work with the tool to learn more about what works well, and to discover possible problems.33. Where does the name “DALL-E” come from?A. From a film and a robot.B. From a toy and a robot.C. From an artist and a robot.D. From a company and a movie.34. What does the underlined word “prudent” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. carefulB. confidentC. patientD. hard-working35. How is DALL-E 2 different from DALL-E 1?A. It applies GPT-3 to pictures.B. It writes in many different styles.C. It can tell the different appearances of things.D. It sets no rules about the types of pictures that can be created.36. What can be the best title for the text?A. How DALL-E 2 Makes Use of GPT-3B. Why OpenAI Develops Its DALL-E2C. DALL-E 2 HelpsOffer Artists New JobsD. From Words, DALL-E 2 Creates Pictures (D) You couldn’t deeply experience Chengdu if you don’t prepare to do nothing. Sit on a bamboo chair, spread your feet out and let the afternoon slow away. Listen to hot water poured into tea cups. Taste melon seeds (瓜子) or boiled peanuts. And tea houses are the right places for you and should always be on your must-go list.Sichuan is one of China’s major tea-producing regions. Chengdu was famous for its tea houses as early as the Tang dynasty. For centuries, tea houses were places for fun and tea. There, customers can enjoy storytelling, music, and especially Sichuan Opera. That is not a popular art these days, but Yuelai Teahouse beside Jinjiang Theater still arranges operas every Saturday afternoon.You will find most of Chengdu’s traditional tea houses in parks. Heming Teahouse in Renmin Park attracts lunchtime office workers and afternoon visitors. When noise gets too much because of more visitors, move on to Shaocheng Teahouse in the same park. Visitors are older and quieter. They bring songbirds, hanging their cages in trees and have fun. However, new-style tea houses have been opened to attract the younger generation. They want to have a taste for traditional teas in a more modern style. The most famous one of them is Mi Xun Teahouse in Taikoo Li, which is right in the city’s most fashionable shopping area.As in all tea houses, the tea comes in separate packets which can be kept warm. Maofeng green tea from Mount Emei, south of Chengdu, is the traditional favorite. Shake the leaves into your cup. Don’t let the water in your cup get too low, since any bad taste from the leaves is on the bottom. You can enjoy your tea all afternoon and order nothing else.In Chengdu tea houses, people relax themselves by staying away from busy work and life. The capital of Sichuan is developing fast too, but has managed to keep its slower style that has been lost in many other Chinese cities.37.
