NEW YORK - Salt Lake City is most likely to be awarded the 2034 Winter Olympics later this year, and officials said that its complete infrastructure (基础设施) and enthusiastic public support are what has paved the way. Utah’s capital city hosted the Games back in 2002 and International Olympic Committee representatives recently toured the city and heard plans for its “no-build” Games.
No other cities are in the running for the 2034 Games, Salt Lake City 2034 and France 2030 were picked as preferred hosts for the Winter Olympics in November. “They got an opportunity to see our venues and how they are still thriving (兴旺),” Catherine Raney-Norman, chair of the Salt Lake City - Utah Committee for the Games, said in an interview, “They left excited by what they had seen. It was extremely positive.”
While other cities have soured on the idea of hosting an Olympics for fears of cost that may be much higher than planned or expected, that is not the case in Salt Lake City, where the legacy (遗产) of the 2002 Games continues to exist. “Our investigation has shown that we have over 80 percent public support,” said Raney-Norman, a four-time Olympic speed skater. “That’s amazing. And we’ve had that consistently for the past 20 years.”
The Winter Olympics have grown by about 40 percent, with more sports added since Salt Lake City hosted them, but the city can handle the additional action, Raney-Norman said. “We know that, within our venues and with our technical side, we can host those events,” Raney-Norman said. New events could be held at a temporary downtown venue, while the University of Utah will serve as the athletes’ village, she said.
Salt Lake City initially wanted to bid for the 2030 Games, but dropped those plans due to its proximity (靠近) to the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. “As we look to a future award, and Salt Lake hopefully being officially named as host for 2034, we see opportunities as we continue to cooperate,” Raney-Norman said. “This is an opportunity to promote the Olympic and Paralympic movement in the United States, and that requires cooperation.”
5. What does the underlined phrase “sour on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Have a great influence on. B. Come up with.
C. Lose interest in. D. Take a positive attitude toward.
6. What did Raney-Norman mainly convey in the fourth paragraph?
A. How to raise money for the games. B. How to construct the venues.
C. How to win local people’s support. D. How to adapt to the changes.
7. Why did Salt Lake City give up the plans to apply for the 2030 Games?
A. The city may not be ready for the games before 2030.
B. Only two years will be left after the Olympics in Los Angeles.
C. International Olympic Committee representatives suggested them do so.
D. France might have a bigger chance to be picked as the host for the games.
8 What can be a suitable title for the news report?
A. Salt Lake City expected to hold 2034 Winter Olympic Games
B. Salt Lake City has enthusiastic public support for 2034 Games
C. Legacy of the 2002 Games continues to exist in Salt Lake City
D. Cities compete for honour of staging 2034 Winter Olympic Games

Every six days, students at Hite Elementary School get an extra 50 minutes of math-focused instruction. They play simple math games and count aloud to learn number recognition — it’s all done in Chinese.
Principal Tim Hagan said Chinese language instruction enhances the school’s existing Singapore Math curriculum (课程), which attributes (归因) the math skill gap between Chinese — and English-speaking students to language differences and the way students understand numbers.
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) conducts a study every four years to compare the math ability of students from more than 50 countries. For the past 20 years students in Chinese-speaking countries have routinely outperformed those in English-speaking countries. “One of the reasons that Chinese students have done well in math is their language itself automatically breaks apart numbers into tens and ones,” said Hite Chinese teacher Emily Smith. “We’re having to teach kids to do that because our language doesn’t do it automatically.”
For the 2022-23 school year, Hite provided $60,000 school-based funds to purchase and follow the Singapore Math curriculum, which math teachers taught in English. Students learned to count the “say ten way” — where “eleven” became “ten one” and twelve became “ten two”.
Offering Chinese language instruction is just taking it one step further, Smith said. In Chinese, the “say ten way” is how numbers are naturally learned and spoken, she explained, adding that saying “twenty” in Chinese is like saying “two ten”.
Hagan called the Chinese system more efficient than English in getting students to visualize, understand and calculate numbers. He has already seen improvement. Standardized test scores released earlier this month revealed the school’s “greatest increase in performance was in kids who have trouble in math”.
Students also responded positively to Chinese instruction. Fourth-grade student Anna Kersting, 9, said she felt learning numbers in Chinese was easy. “You use all the same numbers from one to 99.” she said.
9. What has the NCES study found?
A. Chinese-speaking students excel in math.
B. English students have made great progress in math.
C. Breaking numbers apart is helpful for learning math.
D. Students’ language ability determines their math ability.
10. What did Smith say about the “say ten way”?
A. It involves complex math concepts.
B. It confuses English-speaking students.
C. It was influenced by a Singapore math teacher.
D. It is the natural way of saying numbers in Chinese.
11. Which word best describes the impact of Chinese instruction?
A. Many-sided. B. Short-lived. C. Identifiable. D. Unpredictable.
12. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Innovative approaches to learning math
B. A comparison of math education in different countries
C. Chinese teachers bring the art of math to English schools
D. Hite classes connect Chinese and math

Our preferred park is a 2km walk from my house and it has a 1km walking track. I could not drive him there every day as I had to leave for the office while at the same time he wanted to set out. Since there were hardly any footpaths in Karachi, my father said he was delighted to walk on the road as he was certain there wouldn’t be much traffic in the morning.
Though I kept him informed that our house was near the park and was made of red bricks in case he got lost, I was still less confident so I suggested it would be safer if changed his walk time to the evening. That way I could take him to the park after work. However, my father — a determined person — said that he could not change his routine for just a few days and insisted that he would be leaving the house every day at 7 am and returning by 8 am. So one day when he had not returned by 8:30 am, my wife, Qaisa phoned me in a panic Worried, I immediately drove home, taking the same route that my father would have taken for his walk.
Not spotting him anywhere I drove back to the park, in the hone of discovering some trace, but in vain. Totally at a loss for what to do next, I returned home and waited impatiently, walking back and forth in the house.

【6题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段“The Winter Olympics have grown by about 40 percent, with more sports added since Salt Lake City hosted them, but the city can handle the additional action, Raney-Norman said. ‘We know that, within our venues and with our technical side, we can host those events,’ Raney-Norman said.

【8题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第一段“NEW YORK - Salt Lake City is most likely to be awarded the 2034 Winter Olympics later this year, and officials said that its complete infrastructure (基础设施) and enthusiastic public support are what has paved the way.

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) conducts a study every four years to compare the math ability of students from more than 50 countries. For the past 20 years, students in Chinese-speaking countries have routinely outperformed those in English-speaking countries. “One of the reasons that Chinese students have done well in math is their language itself automatically breaks apart numbers into tens and ones,” said Hite Chinese teacher Emily Smith. “We’re having to teach kids to do that because our language doesn’t do it automatically.”(美国国家教育统计中心(NCES)每四年进行一次研究,比较50多个国家学生的数学能力。在过去的20年里,说汉语的国家的学生通常比说英语的国家的学生表现得更好。海特中文老师艾米丽·史密斯说:“中国学生数学成绩好的原因之一是他们的语言本身会自动将数字分成十和一。我们必须教孩子们这样做,因为我们的语言不会自动做到这一点。)”可知,NCES研究发现说中文的学生擅长数学。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Offering Chinese language instruction is just taking it one step further, Smith said. In Chinese, the “say ten way” is how numbers are naturally learned and spoken, she explained, adding that saying “twenty” in Chinese is like saying “two ten”.(史密斯说,提供中文教学只是更进一步。她解释说,在汉语中,“说十的方式”是学习和说数字的自然方式,并补充说,在汉语中说“二十”就像说“两个十”)”可知,史密斯认为“说十的方式”是中国人说数字的自然方式。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Hagan called the Chinese system more efficient than English in getting students to visualize, understand and calculate numbers. He has already seen improvement. Standardized test scores released earlier this month revealed the school’s “greatest increase in performance was in kids who have trouble in math”.(哈根称,在让学生形象化、理解数字和计算数字方面,中文体系比英语体系更有效。他已经看到了进步。本月早些时候公布的标准化考试成绩显示,该校“数学有问题的孩子成绩提高最快”)”可知,汉语教学的影响是可识别、显而易见的。故选C。
12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Every six days, students at Hite Elementary School get an extra 50 minutes of math-focused instruction. They play simple math games and count aloud to learn number recognition — it’s all done in Chinese.(每隔六天,海特小学学生就会得到额外50分钟的数学指导。他们玩简单的数学游戏,大声数数来学习数字识别——这些都是用中文完成的)”结合文章主要说明了海特小说将中文和数学结合起来,指出中文对学习数学的好处。可知,D选项“海特课程将中文和数学联系起来”最符合文章标题。故选D。

【16题详解】
根据上文“You may find that you have two friends that you really want to introduce to each other. (你可能会发现你有两个朋友,你真的很想把他们介绍给对方)”可知,上文提到想要介绍两个朋友互相认识,这里应该说明为什么想要介绍他们认识的原因,选项F“They may have a lot in common or be in a similar place in life (他们可能有很多共同点,或者生活在相似的地方)”能承接上文,符合题意。故选F。
【17题详解】
根据上文“If you are at a party or some social gathering, bring your two friends together so that they can physically meet each other. (如果你在一个聚会或社交聚会上,把你的两个朋友带到一起,这样他们就可以面对面了)”可知,本空应介绍把两个朋友带到一起的方法,由下文“or have one friend come with you while you look for the other one (或者让一个朋友和你一起去找另一个)”可知,这句话中的or表明此处存在选择关系,由此可以推断出,该空白处应该说的是另一种选择,选项C“You can have one friend stay put while you track down the other one (让一个朋友待在原地,而你去找另一个朋友)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Once you have brought your friends together, introduce them to each other. You can choose to do the introduction and say their names, or let them do the introduction.

【19题详解】
根据下文“Meeting new people can be awkward, so you should stay and keep the conversation from fizzling out (认识新朋友可能会很尴尬,所以你应该留下来,让对话不要中断)”可知,这句话提到了认识新朋友时可能存在的尴尬情况,并给出了一个建议,该空白处应该是谈论做完初步的介绍后要留下来,让对话不要中断,由此可以推断出,而选项G“Once you do the initial introduction, stick around to keep the conversation going (一旦你做了初步的介绍,就待在那里,让对话继续下去)”能引出下文,符合语境,其中“stick around to keep the conversation going”与下文中的“stay and keep the conversation from fizzling out”相对应。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据下文“If your friends do not hit it off, you need to move on. You cannot take it personally. It is not your fault that a friendship did not blossom. Sometimes, people, who in theory should get along, simply do not like each other. Do not push it if they do not become friends. No one likes being forced into a relationship. (如果你的朋友们合不来,你需要离开。你不能往心里去。友谊没有开花结果不是你的错。有时候,理论上应该和睦相处的人,就是不喜欢对方。如果他们没有成为朋友,不要强迫他们。没有人喜欢被迫进入一段关系)”可知,最后一段讨论的是如果介绍的朋友之间没有产生友谊应该如何处理,这里提出不应该强求,如果他们不喜欢对方,就应该放手。选项A“Let it go if they do not like each other (如果他们不喜欢对方,就放手吧)”能概括本段主旨,符合题意。故选A。

While AI teachers have several advantages, such as personalized learning experiences, 24/7 availability, and instant feedback, there are also notable disadvantages. For instance, AI lacks the emotional intelligence and empathy that human teachers possess. Additionally, the social aspect of learning, which is facilitated by human teachers, cannot be replicated by AI.

Many years ago, my father, who was 80 at that time, arrived for his regular two-week visit at my home in Karachi He lived with my elder brother in Lahore most of the time and for ten years had stuck to his habit of going for an-hour-long morning walk to keep fit, In Naturally, he was keen to continue his morning walk while with us in Karachi.
Our preferred park is a 2km walk from my house and it has a 1km walking track. I could not drive him there every day as I had to leave for the office while at the same time he wanted to set out. Since there were hardly any footpaths in Karachi, my father said he was delighted to walk on the road as he was certain there wouldn’t be much traffic in the morning.
Though I kept him informed that our house was near the park and was made of red bricks in case he got lost, I was still less confident so I suggested it would be safer if changed his walk time to the evening. That way I could take him to the park after work. However, my father — a determined person — said that he could not change his routine for just a few days and insisted that he would be leaving the house every day at 7 am and returning by 8 am. So one day when he had not returned by 8:30 am, my wife, Qaisa phoned me in a panic Worried, I immediately drove home, taking the same route that my father would have taken for his walk.
Not spotting him anywhere, I drove back to the park, in the hone of discovering some trace, but in vain. Totally at a loss for what to do next, I returned home and waited impatiently, walking back and forth in the house.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 At 10:35 am the doorbell rang and my father stood outside the door smiling, accompanied by a young man. My father explained that he had gotten lost during his walk and ended up quite far from home. The young man, who had found my father wandering and looking confused, kindly offered to help. After listening to my father describe where he lived, the good fellow decided it was best to personally ensure his safe return rather than risk miscommunication over the phone or with directions.
After knowing what had happened, I showed my appreciation of the young man’s kindness. I thanked him genuinely, touched by his generosity and concern for an elderly stranger. We invited him in for tea, but he politely declined, stating that he was glad to have been able to assist and that he needed to get back to his own schedule. His selfless act reminded us of the goodness in people and reinforced the importance of community spirit. We saw the young man off, and I made sure to discuss with my father about carrying an emergency contact card during his future outings.
