9、t healthier, according to a study conducted by IWG, a workspace provider.A survey of 2,000 people who have become hybrid workers since the pandemicmeaning they spend only part of their week commuting (通勤) into a city-centre officefound that they now had more time for fitness, cooking and sleep.Dr Sa

10、ra Kayat, a General Practitioner (普通科医生) of National Health Service, said: “There is no doubt that hybrid working has facilitated some major health benefits. A balanced diet, physical activity and good quality sleep are the bedrocks of a healthy lifestyle.”The study included people using local worki

11、ng centers and working from home. It found that the average hybrid worker was now getting 4.7 hours of exercise a week, compared with 3.4 hours before the pandemic, with the most common forms of exercise being walking, running and strength training.They are also sleeping longer, with the additional

12、time in bed each morning adding up to 71 extra hours a year.Eating habits also reportedly improved, with 54 per cent saying they had more time to spend cooking nutritious meals during the week, and 46 per cent and 44 per cent eating more fruit and vegetables respectively.Some 27 per cent said they h

13、ad lost weight, and 66 per cent said their mental health was good because of the shift to hybrid working.IWG said that demand for its workspaces outside city centres had grown by 36 per cent in 2022. Mark Dixon the companys chief executive, said: “This study confirms what we have been seeing for a w

14、hile nowhow hybrid working is building and maintaining a healthier and happier workforce by reducing the need for long daily commutes.”4What does the underlined word “bedrock” in paragraph 3 refer to?AMethods.BResults.CFoundations.DObstacles.5What benefits does hybrid working bring according to the

17、ncyDHybrid workers, lazier but more productiveWhat time it is varies depending on which of Earths time zones you are inbut what if you arent anywhere on Earth? Scientists from the European Space Agency (ESA), a group committed to exploring the universe, are arguing that the Moon should have its own

18、time zone too.At the moment, missions to or involving the Moon use the time zone of the country operating the spacecraft. ESA argues that a specific time zone for the Moon would make it easier for space agencies from around the world to work together. Once missions make it to the Moon, having the sa

19、me time zone would make it simpler for astronauts to communicate and travel across its surface.Setting up a lunar time zone is not easy. Gravity affects how quickly or slowly time passes. Since gravity is weaker on the Moon than it is on Earth, clocks run slightly faster on the Moon. After 24 hours,

20、 a lunar clock would be 56 microseconds ahead of a clock on Earth. Another point to consider is that a full day on Earth is measured by the length of time between two sunsetsabout 24 hours. On the Moon, the time between two sunsets is nearly 709 hours, which is about 29.5 Earth days. This means that

21、 lunar nights can be around two weeks long, with only the Earth and the starsno Sunin the sky. With all this to think about, scientists need to decide whether it would be better to follow a time zone on Earth, or for the Moon to have its own unique zone, which would have much longer days.NASA is pla

22、nning to land humans on the Moon in 2025. There are also other unmanned missions of other countries to the Moon later this year. The idea is that creating a time zone on the Moon would make these easier.Bernhard Hufenbach from ESA said that if a working time system for the Moon could be established,

23、 ESA could then perhaps go on to do the same for other planets in the solar system.8Why does ESA insist that the Moon should have its own time zone?ATo help scientists land on the moon.BTo help astronauts operate the spacecraft.CTo help astronauts travel around the world.DTo help space agencies coop

24、erate worldwide.9What is the challenge to establish a lunar time zone?AFewer stars in the sky.BSlower time on the Moon.CLonger nights on the Moon.DWeaker gravity on the Earth.10What is Bernhard Hufenbachs attitude to the future of the Moons time zone?ANegative.BDoubtful.CSupportive.DUnclear.11What i

25、s the text mainly about?AThe origin and future of the time zone on the Moon.BThe necessity and methods of building a lunar time zone.CThe theory and practice behind the time zone on the Moon.DThe importance and difficulties of creating a lunar time zone.As I write about technology for a living, Im u

26、sed to seeing small leaps in technological progress. But occasionally, something will shock me. Last year, a company, Open AI, released a truly jaw-dropping demonstration called ChatGPT that seems to have skipped a few generations. Its like going straight from the Wright Brothers to a Boeing 747. So

27、 what exactly is it?“ChatGPT is a computer program that can understand and respond to human language like a real person. It can be used for having a conversation or finishing a sentence. Even this sentence you are reading now, was written by ChatGPT.”Thats rightI asked ChatGPT to “write a basic expl

28、anation of ChatGPT and reveal that the paragraph itself was written by ChatGPT at the end” and it came up with that explanation all on its own. It seemingly knows how to talk about everythingfrom politics to science fiction.Amazingly, it seems so human in its ability to understand questions and answ

29、er them competently. “Write a story about Boris Johnson in the style of Roald Dahl,” you can ask it, and itll spin up a pretty good childrens story. It can even write songs.It isnt, however, completely human-like. It sometimes generates things that sound true, but are just nonsense. And it cant do m

30、athsI asked it the square root of 717,409, and it told “approximately 838.8” (the answer is 847).I think ChatGPT is like a calculator. It doesnt replace the human completely-but it does make doing the sums quicker. In the same way, its easy to imagine in the near future every time we write something

31、, having an AI assistant helping us get started by generating a draft, on whatever topic were writing about. Actually, Microsoft is planning to build the technology into its Office apps. And this is why Im pretty convinced that ChatGPT is going to change the world. Our computers will no longer be ju

32、st our word processorsbut our writing partner too. So now Im just hoping that my editor doesnt decide it could write a pretty decent technology column without me.12What does the writer want to show by mentioning Wright Brothers and Boeing747 in paragraph I?AOpenAI has advanced in making planes.BChat

33、GPT will soon be applied to Boeing 747CChatGPT is a huge technological breakthrough.DWright Brothers may be forgotten by next generations.13What does the answer of ChatGPT in paragraph 2 show?AChatGPTs imagination in creating science fiction.BChatGPTs rich knowledge of politics and science.CChatGPTs

34、 confidence in excelling human intelligence.DChatGPTs ability to understand and answer questions.14Which of the following is ChatGPT good at?ACaring for the patients in hospital.BCalculating square roots accurately.CReplacing teachers to teach students.DExplaining why London is a better city.15What

35、might be the job of the author?AA column writer.BA technology expert.CA magazine editor.DA computer programmer.二、七选五Everyone knows that the choices we make affect our future. Suppose I am an intelligent student with good marks. However, being lazy, I do badly in my examinations. I am refused entry t

36、o university and cannot find a good job. The golden future will never be._16_However, your choices affect your future in a way that is more complicated._17_ Your character is displayed through your choices, but it is also formed by them. Whenever you make a choice, your character changes or grows, d

37、epending on whether the decision you made is wise or foolish. _18_ And so, you become the sort of person who will make a certain kind of choice in a certain situation._19_ After all, the field of human choice is a narrow one. Most of the things that form us in our lives are not subject to choice. We

38、 cannot choose when and where to be born, whether our families will be rich or poor, kind or cruel. We cannot even entirely control who we will meet in our lives. With so much that we cannot choose, how can we be said to be responsible for anything?However, we do have some power of choice, and we do

39、 control the most important thing of all: how we respond to circumstances._20_ It is our key to having confidence in the future. It is human nature to fear the future, as the future is unknown. You cannot entirely control what will happen to you tomorrow. But if you have confidence in your character

40、, then you do know one thing for certain about the future: no matter what happens, you will make a choice that you will be proud of.ASome will argue this is not true.BAll these are from a bad choice!CToo many choices can be confusing.DThis ability to choose how we behave is a great gift.EWe can choo
