• 1．Four Peak District waterfall walks The Peak District National Park offers beautiful scenery for hiking.One exciting attraction is the region's waterfalls.We've picked out four of the most breathtaking waterfall walks；visit just one or tick off all of them as you discover the Peak District.
      Kinder Downfall
      If there's one Peak District waterfall that you must visit，it's this one.Kinder Downfall is one of the best Great British waterfalls，where you can watch a 30-metre stream of water flowing from an open plateau at Kinder Scout.It's best to schedule your visit after heavy rain when the waterfall is really in full force.
      Lumsdale Falls
      If you feel like stepping back in time，take a trip to Lumsdale Falls.The area includes many 17th-century mill.（磨坊） buildings which used to be powered by the nearby rivers，and the ancient ruins create a[timeless atmosphere in the beautiful Lumsdale Valley.
      Padley Gorge
      The journey to this waterfall has a charming，fairytale feel，making it perfect for a fun day out as a family.The walk is around an hour each way，but there are plenty of picnic spots where you can all refuel，as well as areas for little feet to safely paddle in the chilly water.
      Rivelin Valley
      Make sure you pack your camera when you visit this waterfall in the Rivelin Valley，as it's one of the most picturesque spots in the Peak District.Follow the nature trail through the woodland where you'll find dams，reservoirs，streams and a series of very pretty waterfalls.

• 2．    My phone rang after I boarded a plane.It was my former PhD adviser calling to tell me an article had just been posted that identified errors in a paper we'd published in Nature.My stomach dropped when I knew many critics were demanding a retraction （撤回）.The plane soon took off.I spent the 16-hour flight processing a mix of emotions—disbelief，embarrassment，frustration—and wondering what this would mean for my career.
      After the plane landed，I took out my laptop and logged on the airport WiFi so I could read the critique myself.It was harsh and thorough，pointing out several fundamental flaws in our methods and in the basic data，which we'd gathered from other studies.
      The fallout was swift and intense.I received a flood of emails and messages.Some were from supportive colleagues，but many were harshly critical of our work.I felt deeply embarrassed by the criticism.
      When it became clear that the retraction was unavoidable，I formally offered my resignation to my department head.He didn't accept it，saying a resignation wasn't needed considering the errors in the paper were honest mistakes.
      The experience helped me grow as a scientist.I learned that it is better to be open and responsible，even if it means admitting mistakes.I can't expect myself to know everything as a scientist and my work will be stronger if I seek out diverse expertise and opinions.
      In the end，the reality is that the retractions are a necessary part of the science process—and one that shouldn't be viewed only through a negative lens （透鏡）.Retractions can also be an opportunity to learn and improve.Honest mistakes happen，and researchers should be encouraged，not punished，for doing the right thing and retracting flawed work.
  
  （1）What news did the author get after boarding the plane？

  
  A．Some mistakes were found in his published paper.
  B．His research paper would be published.
  C．His adviser demanded that he should retract his paper.
  D．His career might be influenced by his paper.
  （2）What does the underlined word "fallout" mean？

  
  A．Answer.
  B．Pain.
  C．Result.
  D．Shame.
  （3）Why was the author's resignation refused？

  
  A．He corrected his mistakes in the paper.
  B．He made the mistakes unintentionally.
  C．He had a very good reputation of honesty.
  D．He was believed to publish sound science.
  （4）What lesson did the author learn from his experience？

  
  A．Honest mistakes are necessary in science.
  B．Scientists had better know everything.
  C．Admitting mistakes is really embarrassing.
  D．Mistakes can be a good chance to learn.

• 3．    A computer model created by researchers can detect ChatGPT-generated fake studies with great accuracy，a new study shows.This implies that although the artificial intelligence（AI）chatbot ChatGPT may be a decent imitator of human workers in several fields，scientific research is not one of them.
     In the new study，published June 7 in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science，researchers created a new computer learning program to tell the differences between real scientific papers and fake examples written by ChatGPT.The scientists trained the program to identify key differences between 64 real studies published in the journal Science and 128 papers created by ChatGPT using the same 64 papers as a prompt.
     The team then tested how well their model could distinguish between a group of real papers and ChatGPT-generated papers，which included 60 real papers from the journal Science and 120 AI-generated papers.The program marked the AI-written papers more than 99%of the time and could correctly tell the differences between human-written and chatbot-written paragraphs 92%of the time.
     ChatGPT-generated papers differed from human text in four key ways：paragraph complexity，sentence-level diversity in length，punctuation marks and "popular words".For example，human authors write longer and more complex paragraphs，while the AI papers used punctuation that is not found in real papers，such as exclamation marks.
     Creating computer programs to tell real papers from AI-generated ones is important because previous studies have hinted that humans may not be as good at spotting the differences and AI is still capable of fooling some humans with its science writing.
     The researchers of the new study say they are pleased that their program is effective at weeding out fake papers but warn it is only a proof of concept.Much more wide-scale studies are needed to create better models that are even more reliable and can be trained to specific scientific disciplines to maintain the integrity of the scientific method.
  
  （1）Which of the following statements may be true according to the passage？

  
  A．Paragraphs created by ChatGPT are shorter and easier.
  B．Every human behaviour can be imitated by ChatGPT.
  C．AI-generated papers can be correctly recognized by humans.
  D．Humans are better at telling real papers from AI-generated ones.
  （2）What does the figures in Para.3 indicate？

  
  A．The complexity of the test.
  B．The importance of AI-generated papers.
  C．The effectiveness of the computer model.
  D．A perfect match between AI-generated papers and real papers.
  （3）What may be the the researchers' attitudes towards the computer program？

  
  A．Favorable.
  B．Pessimistic.
  C．Skeptical.
  D．Cautious.
  （4）What does the author mainly talk about in the text？

  
  A．The application of ChatGPT in paper writing.
  B．A computer program to identify.AI-generated papers.
  C．The difference between AI-generated papers and real papers.
  D．Possibility for ChatGPT to create convincing scientific papers.

第二節(jié)：（滿分25分）

• 9．A Panting Trout Julia always enjoyed running through The Dark Walk towards the light at the end of it，which was a dark，damp tunnel of smooth branches.This year she had the extra joy of showing it to her small brother，Stephen，and of terrifying him as well as herself.
     One day they found a hole on one side of the walk.Inside there was water，where they perceived （察覺、發(fā)現(xiàn)） a breathless trout （鱒魚）.They were both so thrilled that they were no longer afraid of the darkness as they bent down and peered at the fish panting （喘氣） in his tiny prison，his silver stomach going up and down like an engine，otherwise he was motionless.Julia wondered what he ate and thought of his hunger.She found him a worm.But he ignored the food，and just went on panting.She bent over him，wondering how he had been here.All the winter，in the dark tunnel，all day，all night，floating around alone.
  Nobody knew how the fish got here.Her mother suggested that a bird had carried it here.Her father thought that in the winter a small stream might have carried it down there as a baby，and it had been safe until summer came and the water began to dry up.
     Before going to bed，Stephen asked his mummy to tell him a story as usual，while Julia lay in her bed，not interested in it.That night mom told a story about a trapped little fish. "And so，in the end，the naughty fish got bigger and bigger，and the water got less and less…Then a Fairy Godmother appeared…"
  Passionately，she turned around and cried， "Mummy，don't make it a horrible old story." Staring at the moon she knew there was no such thing as a fairy and that actually the trout，down in the tunnel，was panting for his life：
     She sat up in the silent night and Stephen was sound asleep.________
     Julia poured the trout out of the pot into the river.________
