In fact, most American workers spend an hour driving to work each day. In order to drive in the USA, you have to go to your local Department of Motor Vehicles first, and take a written test to get your learner’s permit. If you pass this test, you can practice driving and then you can pass a road test and get your license. To prepare for the road test, you can take classes at a driving school. If you cannot, you can practice driving by yourself. If you are caught driving with only a learner’s permit, you may get into trouble with the law. Once you get your driver’s license in one state, you can drive in all of the states in America. Wherever you drive, you will see signs posted along the road indicating the speed limit. The local police use special equipment to test your speed. If they find you are speeding or driving over the speed limit, the police can stop you and give you a ticket. 第二部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Best National Parks in Europe You love nature, forests, lakes and wildlife?

Having quite possibly the largest age gap (差距) of any housemates in the UK, the pair say they hit it off and have a great time living together. They watch afternoon TV together, chat over a cup of tea, and do some of the cleaning together — “It’s no different from living with university students,” said Alexandra. Florence has lived in the London home for over 50 years. Having retired from her job at the age of 70, and with her family living far away, she was left on her own. To avoid feeling lonely, she signed up for house sharing with Homeshare, the charity which paired her with Alexandra. “Sharing your home is a great idea. Loneliness is horrible. Having someone else in the home makes a big difference. You don’t have to worry about falling over or hurting yourself. And more importantly, it’s lovely to have somebody to talk to during the day,” Florence said. Florence added, “I was already 67 years old when my housemate was born, and when I told my friends about it, they thought it was strange. But the more they find out about it, the more they think it’s a very good idea.” Alexandra said she was originally frightened by the idea of moving to London and living with an older person, but she thinks it has made her experience in the capital much better and has been a great way to cover sky-high rental costs. “It just didn’t seem like the normal thing to do, living with an older person,” she explained. “But now it’s like being with an old family friend. It gives me somewhere homely to come back to in the evening, which is great.” 24. What does the underlined part “hit it off ” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Have quarrels. B. Get along well. C. Be bored. D. Get used to new environments. 25. Why does Florence share her flat? A. To support students. B. To cut down on living costs. C. To get someone to do housework. D. To have someone’s company. 26. What is Florence’s friends attitude to the housemates — Florence and Alexandra? A. Unclear. B. Disapproved. C. Favorable. D. Doubtful. 27. What was Alexandra afraid of at first? A. The study pressure of her master’s degree. B. Living with an old woman in London. C. The high rental costs in London. D. Being away from her family. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了27岁的Alexandra Knox和年长的Florence Smith同住一屋的故事。 【24题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“They watch afternoon TV together, chat over a cup of tea, and do some of the cleaning together”（一起看电视、喝茶、做清洁）可知，这对室友相处得很好，一起看电视、喝茶、做清洁。由此推知，划线部分“hit it off”意为“相处得好”。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To avoid feeling lonely, she signed up for house sharing with Homeshare, the charity which paired her with Alexandra”（为了避免感到孤独，她与慈善机构Homeshare签订了合租合同，该机构为她和亚历山德拉配对）可知，Florence选择与人合住是为了避免孤独。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“when I told my friends about it, they thought it was strange. But the more they find out about it, the more they think it’s a very good idea”（当我把这件事告诉我的朋友们时，他们觉得很奇怪。但他们了解得越多，就越觉得这是个好主意）可知，Florence的朋友们一开始觉得这种安排很奇怪，但后来认为这是个好主意。由此推测，他们对这种室友关系持支持态度。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Alexandra said she was originally frightened by the idea of moving to London and living with an older person”（亚历山德拉说，她一开始对搬到伦敦和一个老人住在一起的想法感到害怕）可知，Alexandra一开始害怕与一位年长的女性在伦敦同住。故选B。 C People have understood that kindness is good for the person who receives help. For example, when we give food to a hungry person, he is blessed. However, scientists have recently begun to study the effect kindness has on the person giving it. What they have found is that doing good is good for the doer. Acts of kindness can improve health, help a person reach goals and even add years to a person's life. The first study to show the connection between doing good and living a long life was a study on aging. Beginning in 1956, scientists studied a group of married mothers for 30 years. They thought the women with the most children would die first. But the number of children a woman had did not matter. Wealth did not matter. Education did not matter. What did matter was whether they volunteered. Women that volunteered had fewer diseases during their life. Many other studies have found the same positive effects. Helping other people improves long-term health. The gains are the same for the men, women, old people and the young. Those who volunteered had fewer serious diseases than those who did not volunteer. This included diseases such as heart attack, cancer and stroke. Scientists are researching many possible causes. One possible cause is an increase and antibodies (抗体), which help fight against disease. One study showed the body produces more antibodies after an act of kindness. This increase in antibodies can last nearly an hour after one act of kindness is finished. Another one is an increase in chemical that fights the effects of stress from life. Scientists have found a link between being kind to people and an increase in the chemical oxytocin (催产素). Oxytocin is a chemical produced in the brain. It reduces many of the harmful chemicals the body produces under stress. 28. What did the study in paragraph 2 show? A. Diseases age people fast. B. Doing good is good for one’s health. C. Women with more kids die earlier. D. A long marriage leads to a long life. 29. What can we infer about antibodies from paragraph 4? A. More antibodies may not be good. B. They help people reduce pressure. C. They increase with one’s kind acts. D. The more antibodies, the more oxytocin. 30. How does the author develop the last two paragraphs? A. By explaining the causes. B. By making comparisons. C. By introducing a method. D. By describing a chemical. 31. What does the underlined word “it” probably refers to? A. Oxytocin. B. The brain. C. Stress. D. Helping others. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家发现善行不仅对接受帮助的人有好处，而且对行善的人是有益的，换一句话来说，帮助别人就是帮助自己。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Women that volunteered had fewer diseases during their life.(做志愿者的女性一生中患疾病的几率更低)”可知，行善有益健康。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Scientists are researching many possible causes. One possible cause is an increase and antibodies (抗体), which help fight against disease. One study showed the body produces more antibodies after an act of kindness. This increase in antibodies can last nearly an hour after one act of kindness is finished.(科学家们正在研究许多可能的原因。一个可能的原因是增加抗体，这有助于对抗疾病。一项研究表明，在一个善意的行为之后，身体会产生更多的抗体。在一个善举结束后，抗体的增加可以持续近一个小时)”可推知，抗体会随着一个人的善行而增加。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Scientists are researching many possible causes. One possible cause is an increase and antibodies (抗体), which help fight against disease. One study showed the body produces more antibodies after an act of kindness. This increase in antibodies can last nearly an hour after one act of kindness is finished.(科学家们正在研究许多可能的原因。一个可能的原因是增加抗体，这有助于对抗疾病。一项研究表明，在一个善意的行为之后，身体会产生更多的抗体。在一个善举结束后，抗体的增加可以持续近一个小时)”以及第五段“Another one is an increase in chemical that fights the effects of stress from life. Scientists have found a link between being kind to people and an increase in the chemical oxytocin (催产素). Oxytocin is a chemical produced in the brain. It reduces many of the harmful chemicals the body produces under stress.(另一个原因是对抗生活压力影响的化学物质的增加。科学家发现对人友善与化学物质催产素增加之间存在联系。催产素是大脑产生的一种化学物质。它减少了身体在压力下产生的许多有害化学物质)”可推知，作者通过解释原因来展开最后两段。故选A。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Scientists have found a link between being kind to people and an increase in the chemical oxytocin (催产素). Oxytocin is a chemical produced in the brain.”可知，科学家发现对人友善与化学物质催产素增加之间存在联系。催产素是大脑产生的一种化学物质，催产素（It）减少了身体在压力下产生的许多有害化学物质，故划线词指的是“催产素”。故选A。 D Artificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed (超出) just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, OpenAI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while completely following your content instructions. Sora is said to be better than many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios (屏幕高宽比) for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests. Apart from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is surprising. Sora can create detailed scenes with several characters, specific types of motion, and accurate subject and background details. Beyond the user’s requests, it also understands how these elements exist in the real world. For example, reflections in the water change as a woman walks by. However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order. One possible reason is that Sora learns each basic unit of a video, known as a spacetime patch (时空补丁), independently. Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system in order to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will help OpenAI to improve the model to better serve creative professionals. 32. What is the main focus of paragraph 2 and 3? A Sora’s strengths. B. Sora’s weaknesses. C. Sora’s development. D. Sora’s popularity. 33. Why does the author provide the example in paragraph 4? A. To show Sora’s safety problems. B. To show Sora’s existing weaknesses. C. To show Sora’s perfect performance. D. To explain the concept of a spacetime patch. 34. What can we know about Sora up to now? A. It is being tested and improved. B. It has enjoyed great popularity. C. It has made random attacks. D. It has been stopped. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. Sora: A perfect text-to-video AI model B. Sora: A tool for chatting C Sora: Known as a spacetime patch D. Sora: Lead the way in creating videos 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Sora这一先进AI模型能够根据文本指令生成高质量视频及其特点。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Sora is said to be better than many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios (屏幕高宽比) for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests.(据说Sora比许多具有类似功能的现有模型更好。人工智能模型可以为不同的设备创建合适的长宽比视频。它还允许用户在制作高质量版本之前快速测试低质量的内容，这有助于根据用户的要求加快输出速度)”及第三段中“Apart from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is surprising.(除此之外，它以逼真流畅的方式呈现视频的能力令人惊讶)”可知，第二段和第三段主要描述了Sora的优点，包括它可以创建适合不同设备的视频、允许用户快速测试低质量版本以及能够生成真实流畅的视频场景等，这两段的重点在于展示Sora的优势。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another.(然而，目前的模式并不完美。它可能无法准确地显示复杂场景中的事物如何移动，也可能无法理解一个动作如何导致另一个动作)”及所举例子“For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order.(例如，在由Sora生成的视频中，如果某人吃掉了一部分饼干，饼干可能看起来不像是被咬过的。该模型可能会混淆方向，并且难以按正确的顺序描述事件)”可知，第四段提到的例子是为了说明Sora在处理复杂场景时的一些局限性，比如难以准确表现物体运动或事件顺序等，这个例子是用来展示Sora目前存在的弱点。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system in order to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will help OpenAI to improve the model to better serve creative professionals.(Sora仍处于开发测试阶段。OpenAI目前正邀请网络安全专业人士对Sora的系统进行随机攻击，以此来测试该模型可能存在的弱点和风险。Sora也已向一些视觉艺术家、设计师和电影制作人开放。他们的反馈将帮助OpenAI改进模型，以便更好地服务于创意专业人士)”可知，Sora正在测试和改进。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容及第一段“Artificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed (超出) just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, OpenAI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while completely following your content instructions.(人工智能模型早已超越了仅创造文本响应和图像的能力。现在，只需一句话，OpenAI的最新文本转视频模型Sora就能将你的文字转化为具有良好视觉质量的视频，并完全遵循你的内容指示)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍了Sora在文本转视频方面的先进功能和技术优势，尽管它还存在一些限制，但它在视频创作领域显示出引领潮流的潜力，D选项“Sora：引领视频创作”符合文意，最适合作为本文标题。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 Traveling is becoming more and more popular every year.

People suffering from spiritual illness from stress often choose the path of exploring and traveling to cure themselves. It creates unforgettable and endless fond memories, which comfort them and help ease their stress.(旅行迫使我们从正常的生活中休息一下，去探索。它让我们欣赏世界上的美丽。它让我们充满正能量。患有精神疾病的人往往会选择探索和旅行的道路来治愈自己。它创造了难忘和无尽的美好回忆，这让他们感到安慰，帮助他们缓解压力。)”可知，旅行带来众多好处，关键在于它对人内心世界的积极影响，因此D项(旅行有助于保持心灵的平静。)适合作为本段的话题句。故选D项。 【40题详解】 根据上文的“Traveling gets us real life education. People say that if you cannot read books, then start traveling for knowledge. What we learn from traveling different places cannot be taught in any school, college or university. We learn about different cultures, different societies, different types of people, different languages. At least, if we are not able to travel abroad, we can travel our country. (旅行给了我们真实的生活教育。人们说，如果你不会读书，那就开始旅行吧。我们从不同的地方旅行中学到的东西是任何学校、学院或大学都无法教给我们的。我们了解不同的文化，不同的社会，不同类型的人，不同的语言。至少，如果我们不能出国旅行，我们可以在我们的国家旅行。)”可知，B项(这使我们能够更好地了解它。)承接上文，说明了在国内旅行可以更好了解自己国家，是在现实中获取知识得到教育的一种方式。故选B项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 When I was in my first year of college, a friend recommended a book about realizing dreams.

(运用了省略引导词that/which的定语从句) 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 When I was 24 years old, I made the life-changing choice to move to America, leaving my homeland that was 11,000 kilometers away. This courageous decision came with its own difficulties, especially the challenging task of fitting into a new and unfamiliar place. Besides, working from home increased my loneliness, as I was cut off from social interactions. However, as fate would have it, an unexpected opportunity changed everything for me. I decided to dedicate my time and energy to volunteering at a local animal shelter, hoping to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need. Upon arriving at the shelter, I was drawn to a small, grey and white dog named Luna immediately. Found abandoned and scared of humans, Luna hid in the corner of her small cage, her tiny body shaking with fear. Every part of her was tense, ready to run if she needed to. Her tail was wrapped around her, like a blanket to keep her safe. Luna’s ears were flat against her head, showing how scared she was. Her lonely green eyes filled with a deep sense of loneliness and fear seemed to mirror my own sense of displacement in this foreign land. From that moment on, I made it my mission to gain Luna’s trust and help her adjust to her new surroundings, just as I was trying to do in this foreign land. I patiently spent countless hours sitting by her side, offering gentle care and unconditional love. Firstly, I made sure Luna had a comfortable and safe place to sleep, with enough food to eat, fresh water to drink, and fun toys to play with. As Luna gradually opened her heart to me and the surroundings, I knew it was important for Luna to socialize and rebuild her faith in humans. I slowly let Luna meet others in the house, always watching to make sure everyone was nice. Slowly but surely, Luna began to respond, stepping out of her shell and allowing me into her world. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As days turned into weeks, Luna and I developed a bond. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My time at the shelter provided a valuable understanding of settling down in a new country. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 As days turned into weeks, Luna and I developed a bond. Our shared sense of displacement and fear had brought us together, forming a connection that was deeply profound. With each passing day, Luna became more comfortable with my presence, her tail no longer tightly wrapped around her body, but instead swayed gently when I approached. Her green eyes, once filled with fear, now sparkled with curiosity and trust. Our interactions became a source of comfort for both of us. Luna’s progress mirrored my own; as she grew more confident in her environment, I also began to feel less lonely in my new home. My time at the shelter provided a valuable understanding of settling down in a new country. It taught me that adaptation is a process that requires patience, compassion, and perseverance. Just like Luna, I learned to navigate through my fears and uncertainties, gradually opening up to the world around me. The experience also made me realize the power of empathy and how it could bridge gaps between different species, let alone people from different cultures. Luna and I, both outsiders in our own ways, found comfort and companionship in each other. While I was helping Luna fit in a new environment, she was unknowingly doing the same for me. From it, I realized the value of time, love, and an open heart in forming meaningful relationships. This journey aided me in finding a sense of belonging in an unfamiliar land. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者24岁搬到了美国，决定把时间和精力奉献给当地动物收容所的志愿者，希望对那些有需要的人的生活产生积极的影响。其中作者照顾一只名叫露娜的灰白色小狗，让作者获得了适应新环境的力量和勇气。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“日子一天天过去，露娜和我建立了一种纽带。”可知，第一段可描写作者和小狗露娜之间纽带的建立过程以及作者的感悟。 ②由第二段首句内容“在收容所的那段时间让我对如何在一个新的国家安定下来有了宝贵的了解。”可知，第二段可描写作者对这次经历的感悟和体会。 2.续写线索：和露娜建立纽带——一起克服恐惧——互相陪伴安慰——作者感到安定——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①反映：mirror/reflect ②适应：fit in/adjust to ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①同情：empathy/sympathy ②恐惧：fear/horror 【点睛】[高分句型1] Luna’s progress mirrored my own; as she grew more confident in her environment, I also began to feel less lonely in my new home.

B 27-year-old Alexandra Knox, from Newcastle, moved in with Florence Smith after starting a master’s degree. Having quite possibly the largest age gap (差距) of any housemates in the UK, the pair say they hit it off and have a great time living together. They watch afternoon TV together, chat over a cup of tea, and do some of the cleaning together — “It’s no different from living with university students,” said Alexandra. Florence has lived in the London home for over 50 years. Having retired from her job at the age of 70, and with her family living far away, she was left on her own. To avoid feeling lonely, she signed up for house sharing with Homeshare, the charity which paired her with Alexandra. “Sharing your home is a great idea. Loneliness is horrible. Having someone else in the home makes a big difference. You don’t have to worry about falling over or hurting yourself. And more importantly, it’s lovely to have somebody to talk to during the day,” Florence said. Florence added, “I was already 67 years old when my housemate was born, and when I told my friends about it, they thought it was strange. But the more they find out about it, the more they think it’s a very good idea.” Alexandra said she was originally frightened by the idea of moving to London and living with an older person, but she thinks it has made her experience in the capital much better and has been a great way to cover sky-high rental costs. “It just didn’t seem like the normal thing to do, living with an older person,” she explained. “But now it’s like being with an old family friend. It gives me somewhere homely to come back to in the evening, which is great.” 24. What does the underlined part “hit it off ” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Have quarrels. B. Get along well. C. Be bored. D. Get used to new environments. 25. Why does Florence share her flat? A. To support students. B. To cut down on living costs. C. To get someone to do housework. D. To have someone’s company. 26. What is Florence’s friends attitude to the housemates — Florence and Alexandra? A. Unclear. B. Disapproved. C. Favorable. D. Doubtful. 27. What was Alexandra afraid of at first? A. The study pressure of her master’s degree. B. Living with an old woman in London. C. The high rental costs in London. D. Being away from her family. C People have understood that kindness is good for the person who receives help. For example, when we give food to a hungry person, he is blessed. However, scientists have recently begun to study the effect kindness has on the person giving it. What they have found is that doing good is good for the doer. Acts of kindness can improve health, help a person reach goals and even add years to a person's life. The first study to show the connection between doing good and living a long life was a study on aging. Beginning in 1956, scientists studied a group of married mothers for 30 years. They thought the women with the most children would die first. But the number of children a woman had did not matter. Wealth did not matter. Education did not matter. What did matter was whether they volunteered. Women that volunteered had fewer diseases during their life. Many other studies have found the same positive effects. Helping other people improves long-term health. The gains are the same for the men, women, old people and the young. Those who volunteered had fewer serious diseases than those who did not volunteer. This included diseases such as heart attack, cancer and stroke. Scientists are researching many possible causes. One possible cause is an increase and antibodies (抗体), which help fight against disease. One study showed the body produces more antibodies after an act of kindness. This increase in antibodies can last nearly an hour after one act of kindness is finished. Another one is an increase in chemical that fights the effects of stress from life. Scientists have found a link between being kind to people and an increase in the chemical oxytocin (催产素). Oxytocin is a chemical produced in the brain. It reduces many of the harmful chemicals the body produces under stress. 28. What did the study in paragraph 2 show? A. Diseases age people fast. B. Doing good is good for one’s health. C. Women with more kids die earlier. D. A long marriage leads to a long life. 29. What can we infer about antibodies from paragraph 4? A. More antibodies may not be good. B. They help people reduce pressure. C. They increase with one’s kind acts. D. The more antibodies, the more oxytocin. 30. How does the author develop the last two paragraphs? A. By explaining the causes. B. By making comparisons. C. By introducing a method. D. By describing a chemical. 31. What does the underlined word “it” probably refers to? A. Oxytocin. B. The brain. C. Stress. D. Helping others. D Artificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed (超出) just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, OpenAI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while completely following your content instructions. Sora is said to be better than many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios (屏幕高宽比) for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests. Apart from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is surprising. Sora can create detailed scenes with several characters, specific types of motion, and accurate subject and background details. Beyond the user’s requests, it also understands how these elements exist in the real world. For example, reflections in the water change as a woman walks by. However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order. One possible reason is that Sora learns each basic unit of a video, known as a spacetime patch (时空补丁), independently. Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system in order to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will help OpenAI to improve the model to better serve creative professionals. 32. What is the main focus of paragraph 2 and 3? A. Sora’s strengths. B. Sora’s weaknesses. C. Sora’s development. D. Sora’s popularity. 33. Why does the author provide the example in paragraph 4? A. To show Sora’s safety problems. B. To show Sora’s existing weaknesses. C. To show Sora’s perfect performance. D. To explain the concept of a spacetime patch. 34. What can we know about Sora up to now? A. It is being tested and improved. B. It has enjoyed great popularity. C. It has made random attacks. D. It has been stopped. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. Sora: A perfect text-to-video AI model B. Sora: A tool for chatting C. Sora: Known as a spacetime patch D. Sora: Lead the way in creating videos 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 Traveling is becoming more and more popular every year It can be passion to so many people.

This courageous decision came with its own difficulties, especially the challenging task of fitting into a new and unfamiliar place. Besides, working from home increased my loneliness, as I was cut off from social interactions. However, as fate would have it, an unexpected opportunity changed everything for me. I decided to dedicate my time and energy to volunteering at a local animal shelter, hoping to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need. Upon arriving at the shelter, I was drawn to a small, grey and white dog named Luna immediately. Found abandoned and scared of humans, Luna hid in the corner of her small cage, her tiny body shaking with fear. Every part of her was tense, ready to run if she needed to. Her tail was wrapped around her, like a blanket to keep her safe. Luna’s ears were flat against her head, showing how scared she was. Her lonely green eyes filled with a deep sense of loneliness and fear seemed to mirror my own sense of displacement in this foreign land. From that moment on, I made it my mission to gain Luna’s trust and help her adjust to her new surroundings, just as I was trying to do in this foreign land. I patiently spent countless hours sitting by her side, offering gentle care and unconditional love. Firstly, I made sure Luna had a comfortable and safe place to sleep, with enough food to eat, fresh water to drink, and fun toys to play with. As Luna gradually opened her heart to me and the surroundings, I knew it was important for Luna to socialize and rebuild her faith in humans. I slowly let Luna meet others in the house, always watching to make sure everyone was nice. Slowly but surely, Luna began to respond, stepping out of her shell and allowing me into her world. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As days turned into weeks, Luna and I developed a bond. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My time at the shelter provided a valuable understanding of settling down in a new country. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
