Finally came the day when the winners were announced. The head teacher started with the third place winner followed by a boy in the second place. Then the students waited with bated breath for the first place winner to be announced. “First place goes to——Amy!" said the head teacher. After a moment of silence, the crowd clapped. Amy stepped onto the stage to accept the prize, shocked and delighted. When Amy explained her intention of spreading the idea of unity and hope, everyone was moved. The children who had laughed at Amy started to see her in a new way. They got to know the real Amy——her kindness and her dreams. She wasn't alone anymore. During breaks, kids crowded around her to see her create pictures, which made her classmates eager to try drawing with their own thoughts, too. Amy's art became well-known outside of school as well. A local gallery asked to exhibit her best painting. As Amy made more art, she became more self-assured. Her art changed her life and how others saw art and the world.

In my childhood, my parents would take me to watch games. I loved the excitement I would feel when we went to watch these events, especially when the scores were close until the very end of the game. My meaningful attempt at sports began with T-baIl at the age of three, progressed to the basketball court at six, and finally turned into a firm devotion to the game of baseball from the age of eight onward.
One of my most memorable moments was at the World Series when I was eleven and played on the Texas Rattlers. The July heat was unbearable. It was the semi-final game. Sweating like a pig, we ran into the dugout for our last at-bat(上场击球);we were down one run now. I was the second hitter and captain of the team, and I was ready for this moment. In the next few seconds, I had the chance to show my strength as a hitter and my ability to be a leader under pressure by hitting a home run! We carried the day!
As the team captain, I remember the time I had to give a speech to my team because we had lost an important game. I was nervous, but knew it was my responsibility to cheer my team up when they were cast down. This experience has shaped my mind, making me become more independent, so I'm obtaining the ability to talk like a leader in front of my team and a group. Sports get it through my head that you can't win at everything in life all the time.
On and off the field, I am more iron-willed, disciplined and respectful, and a better leader. I have had so many awesome experiences through sports, which have taught me much and prepared me for the future. The memories of all the trips and diverse experiences I have had will be with me for a lifetime.

A. Leading his team to face failure. B. Giving a speech before the team.
C. Improving his leadership qualities. D. Overcoming his own nervousness.

Rogues(疯狗浪),called “extreme storm waves” by scientists, are large, unexpected, and dangerous waves that are at least twice as high as the other waves around them, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA). These abnormal waves, which happen every day and all over the world, are highly unpredictable and can destroy ships that meet with them.
Rogue waves appear to form when large rough waves pass through one another, combining to form huge walls of water, according to NOAA. However, why and where they appear is unclear. But using 700 years' worth of ocean data including historical records and data from buoys(浮标)in 158 locations around the world, researchers have now created a system for predicting these “huge beasts".
“They are caused by a combination of many factors that, until now, have not been combined into a single risk assessment," said lead author Dion Häfner. Häfner and his co-workers mapped the factors that may lead to rogue waves and used AI to make a single model that could determine the likelihood that a rogue wave will form.
The team trained a neural network using historical wave data. This generated a system that learned the causes of rogue waves by itself and could work to predict them. But the AI's methods were hid in a black box. This means scientists couldn't know how the AI did its workings. So Häfner's team applied another form of machine learning, which produced an equation(综合体)when fed data, rather than just a single prediction, helping the researchers to understand how the AI reached its predictions.
“Our analysis demonstrates that abnormal waves occur all the time. In fact, we registered 100,000waves in our data set that can be defined as rogue waves," Häfner said. This system effectively shows the sign of a rogue wave, Häfner added, and can better protect ships from being destroyed as they sail around the world. Ship companies can use the device with the system to predict when and where rogue waves might arise to seek an alternative course.
28. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By using an example. B. By giving a definition.
C. By drawing a comparison. D. By making an assumption.
29.What can the system do according to paragraph 2?
A. Monitor huge sea creatures. B. Guide ships around in the sea.
C. Prevent rouge waves from occurring. D. Forecast the hitting of rogue waves.

30. What is the disadvantage of the AI's methods?
A. They aren't visually available. B. They depend on too many factors.
C. They make inaccurate predictions. D. They don't process data systematically.
31.How does Häfner find the system?
A. It requires more field tests. B. It has been widely used.
C. It needs further improvement. D. It has a promising future.
D
When consuming information, we try to acquire more signals and less noise. We feel like the more information we consume the more signals we receive. While this is probably true on an absolute basis, Nassim Taleb argues in the book Antifragile that it is not true on a relative basis. As you consume more data and the ratio(比率) of noise to signals increases, you know less about what's going on and you are likely to cause more unintentional trouble.
The supply of information to which we are exposed under modernity is transforming humans from a calm person to a neurotic(神经质的)one. For the purpose of our discussion, the first person only reacts to real information, and the second largely to noise. The difference between the two will show us the difference between noise and signals. Noise is what you are supposed to ignore; signals are what you need to heed.
In science, noise is a generalization beyond the actual sound to describe random information that is totally useless for any purpose, and that you need to clean up to make sense of what you are listening to. You can use and take advantage of noise and randomness, but noise and randomness can also use and take advantage of you, particularly with the data you get on the Internet or through other media. The more frequently you look at data, the more noise you are likely to get, and the higher the noise-to-signal ratio is.
Say you look at information on a yearly basis-the changes you see will all be large ones. The ratio of signals to noise is about one to one- this means that about half the changes are real improvements or degradations, and the other half come from randomness. But if you look at the very same data on a daily basis, the composition would change to 95 percent noise and 5 percent signals, and the changes you see daily will certainly be small.
32. What opinion does Nassim Taleb probably hold?
A. It's hard to know the real truth. B. The noise-to-signal ratio is changing.
C. The information explosion can be harmful. D. More information brings more signals.
33. What does the underlined word "heed" probably mean in paragraph 2?
A. Notice. B. Analyse. C. Solve. D. Describe.
34. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Causes and harms of more noise. B. The meaning and impact of noise.
C. The relationship between noise and signals. D. Advantages and disadvantages of noise.
35.How should we handle information according to the author?
A. Check it frequently. B. Make use of online data.
C. Look at key changes. D. Focus on all changes in it.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Theodore Roosevelt took a positive approach to life, which can be summarized as "do what you can with what you have, where you are". In other words, when you are seeking success, use every available resource.
Theodore Roosevelt had no time for quitters or complainers. 36 Every task, every goal, and every dream can be achieved. All you need to do is take your first step by using what you have around you.
Do not make excuses for not doing something. Instead, give all the reasons for setting out to complete the task. 37 Giving up is not one of those alternatives. The reason why neither quitters nor complainers achieve success is that they continuously find excuses for not doing something. When you are going for success, don't give yourself excuses. Instead, challenge yourself.
Making the best of what you are given is encouraging. Achieving success through working to find different ways of doing a task or overcoming a problem will make you feel good. Your self-belief and confidence will rise.38
Theodore Roosevelt was a great advocate of self-discipline. He believed that if we could not control our own lives, how could we lead others? 39 For example, taking a morning run is good for your health, but lazing in bed is an attractive alternative. Without self-discipline, you'll hesitate over running daily, but if you have it, you'll be able to exercise regularly.
40 Once you know what you want to do, and how you intend to carry your plan out, you will introduce discipline into your life. You will be able to focus on your way forward and know that you have the self-discipline to carry on.
A. Being organized saves time and improves efficiency.
B. He would never accept that something was impossible.
C. There are always possible ways of approaching a project.
D. He believed the secret of success was constancy to the purpose.
E. Besides, you will feel able to deal with whatever else comes along.
F. Self-discipline will help you to organize your thoughts and then plan more effectively.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Amy loved to draw, and her hands, always dirty from the pencil lead, moved on the paper, showing the pictures in her mind. She would sit for hours, lost in art. Trees on her pages seemed to swing in an unseen wind, and the faces she drew wore lifelike expressions. But Amy didn't look like the art she made. Her clothes were old and had many patches(补丁) that her mother made with care. Amy's family did not have much money, but they loved each other very much. Her mother worked hard at many jobs to take care of them after Amy's father got sick and died.
Amy had her good times and hard times in school. She loved different corners of the school which were sources of her inspiration and expected the art lesson. Yet other kids' laughing at her dress made her sad. She wanted to change the situation, but didn't know how to go about it. Despite this, she would quietly help someone with a hard math problem or pick up garbage on her way home. She always found comfort in her drawing. In the middle of the term, an art contest on the theme of "My Dream" was to be held, which would select the top three winners, and the head teacher would award them prizes. This news thrilled the children, Amy in particular. They enthusiastically registered for the contest and, after thoughtful consideration, finished their own art pieces. The contest organizers gathered all submissions one week later and set up an exhibit showcasing every participant's work in the school gym.
The school gym was filled with viewers as the walls displayed the efforts of the young artists. There were paintings of colorful landscapes where the sun burst through thick clouds. Some students had created portraits(肖像)of their heroes. In this sea of creativity, one painting stood out. In the painting, a community garden was drawn, a place where people from all walks of life were planting seeds together. The heartfelt work drew the viewers into a world where every detail had meaning. The exhibition would last a week and all the students and teachers could vote their favorite work.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Finally came the day when the winners were announced.
The children who had laughed at Amy started to see her in a new way.
