What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes. Marios says, “As we get older, our faces change a lot but our eyes doesn’t.” Now this technology ( 技术) is used to look for people. However, there is one big weakness (不足): it fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. _______________ To treat depression (抑郁症), doctors can put a “happy switch (开关)” in patients’ heads to help them. Through the surgery, the doctors put two long lines of electrodes (电极) inside patients’ brain. Patients can control the happy switch through an app in their phones. When they feel down, they turn on the switch and then they will be happy. But is the switch safe enough? The surgery is really dangerous and doctors also have to make sure that patients don’t depend on it. Thirsty Computers ChatGPT is an AI and it can answer questions, tell stories and do much more. But it’s very “thirsty”. When ChatGPT works, its data center (数据中心) gets very hot. So workers have to use a lot of water to cool them down. ChatGPT is not the only one that needs data centers.

I thought he would learn a little more English and we would live in the US. But we ended up living in Tokyo! I needed to learn Japanese... and fast! You know, if you can’t speak the language, living in a foreign country can be very lonely (孤独). When we moved back to the US later, I planned to keep teaching English as before. I took a job at a store that had a children’s playroom. However, this store had workers from many other countries. Oftentimes, a preschooler (学龄前儿童) in my playroom could not speak a word of English and would look so lost and lonely! My heart flew to them. We would play language games and they would teach their languages to me. Years later, a small girl from South America became fluent (流利的) in English. She said to me, “Teacher, remember when I called you Maestra (老师， 西班牙语)? At that time you showed me the most love. “Hearing these words, I was moved to tears. ★ . He spoke Russian at first. We built a robot from blocks (积木) and fed it “food”. He liked the game very much and learned English words quickly by playing. I’m so happy to help him fit into his new life in the US.

You might see that many people choose style (风格) over comfort and some even go to extremes (极端) to follow fashion. But we should remember: being fashionable isn’t everything. It’s more important to be healthy. Some people believe that they need to be thin to look good. So, they start extreme diets (日常饮食) that are not good for their health. They might not eat meals or eat too little. Those can make them feel uncomfortable. Is it a healthy way to live? Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels (跟). They might think high heels make them look taller. But these shoes can really hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and they can also make them fall down more easily. Some even wear tight (紧的) clothes that make it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over comfort and health? Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color. The things they use are usually bad for their health. To make their hair straight or curly, they also use tools that are hot enough to burn their hair. But using these tools too often or at very high temperatures can make the hair dry or even burnt. Is it really worth risking (冒风险) our health and spending so much time and money? So, let’s rethink what’s really important. Is it fashion or is it our well-being? Clothes or hairstyles don’t tell us anything about a person’s character (性格). Instead of (取代) spending a lot of time choosing clothes, we could use that time to do fun things with friends. And instead of following extreme diets, let’s eat well and exercise often. Remember, your worth is not up to your looks, but who you are. 41. According to the passage, some people go on extreme diets because ________. A. the diets are healthy B. they just want to look good C. they want to save time D. they want to save money 42. The writer use a question in each paragraph to ________.

What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes. Marios says, “As we get older, our faces change a lot but our eyes doesn’t.” Now this technology ( 技术) is used to look for people. However, there is one big weakness (不足): it fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. _______________ To treat depression (抑郁症), doctors can put a “happy switch (开关)” in patients’ heads to help them. Through the surgery, the doctors put two long lines of electrodes (电极) inside patients’ brain. Patients can control the happy switch through an app in their phones. When they feel down, they turn on the switch and then they will be happy. But is the switch safe enough? The surgery is really dangerous and doctors also have to make sure that patients don’t depend on it. Thirsty Computers ChatGPT is an AI and it can answer questions, tell stories and do much more. But it’s very “thirsty”. When ChatGPT works, its data center (数据中心) gets very hot. So workers have to use a lot of water to cool them down. ChatGPT is not the only one that needs data centers. There are more than 8,000 data centers in the world and the number is still growing. If AI keeps using water, we may have to “fight” with AI for water. 31. In which section of the newspaper can we read the news? A. Sports. B. Medicine. C. Science. D. School Life. 32. The new facial-recognition system can recognize most people because ________. A. people wear masks and sunglasses B. eyes won’t change a lot with age C. faces are easy to recognize D. scientists are good at looking for people 33. The best heading for the second piece of news would be ________. A. Switch on Happiness B. Treat Depression C. Don’t Depend on Electrodes D. A Dangerous Surgery 34.

What all the news above has in common is that ________. A. technologies have two sides B. technologies are about future C. technologies make people happy D. technologies help patients live better B When I met and married (嫁给) a kind Japanese man. I thought he would learn a little more English and we would live in the US. But we ended up living in Tokyo! I needed to learn Japanese... and fast! You know, if you can’t speak the language, living in a foreign country can be very lonely (孤独的). When we moved back to the US later, I planned to keep teaching English as before. I took a job at a store that had a children’s playroom. However, this store had workers from many other countries. Oftentimes, a preschooler (学龄前儿童) in my playroom could not speak a word of English and would look so lost and lonely! My heart flew to them. We would play language games and they would teach their languages to me. Years later, a small girl from South America became fluent (流利的) in English. She said to me, “Teacher, remember when I called you Maestra (老师， 西班牙语)? At that time you showed me the most love. “Hearing these words, I was moved to tears. ★ . He spoke Russian at first. We built a robot from blocks (积木) and fed it “food”. He liked the game very much and learned English words quickly by playing. I’m so happy to help him fit into his new life in the US. These moments become my direction (方向) in life. Though everyone is different, love always matters! 36. The underlined sentence in Para l shows the writer ________. A. was excited to move to Tokyo B. was angry with her husband C. didn’t expect to live in Japan D. ended her marriage with the man 37. The writer felt bad for the preschoolers because she ________. A. loved them very much B. liked to play games with kids C. couldn’t understand their language D. knew how lonely they were 38. Which of the following can be put in ____★____? A. My husband was a big surprise to me B. Children moved me a lot C. Mike is a boy I didn't like D. There was another child 39. The children might describe the writer as ________. A. caring. B. helpless C. lonely D. moved 40. What would be the best title for this passage? A. Every Kid Is Different. B. Help Others and Show Your Love. C. Look for Your Direction in Life. D. Learn English with Games. C Have you ever thought about what’s more important, looking fashionable (时尚) or feeling comfortable? You might see that many people choose style (风格) over comfort and some even go to extremes (极端) to follow fashion. But we should remember: being fashionable isn’t everything. It’s more important to be healthy. Some people believe that they need to be thin to look good. So, they start extreme diets (日常饮食) that are not good for their health. They might not eat meals or eat too little. Those can make them feel uncomfortable. Is it a healthy way to live? Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels (跟). They might think high heels make them look taller. But these shoes can really hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and they can also make them fall down more easily. Some even wear tight (紧的) clothes that make it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over comfort and health? Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color. The things they use are usually bad for their health. To make their hair straight or curly, they also use tools that are hot enough to burn their hair. But using these tools too often or at very high temperatures can make the hair dry or even burnt. Is it really worth risking (冒风险) our health and spending so much time and money? So, let’s rethink what’s really important. Is it fashion or is it our well-being? Clothes or hairstyles don’t tell us anything about a person’s character (性格). Instead of (取代) spending a lot of time choosing clothes, we could use that time to do fun things with friends. And instead of following extreme diets, let’s eat well and exercise often. Remember, your worth is not up to your looks, but who you are. 41. According to the passage, some people go on extreme diets because ________. A. the diets are healthy B. they just want to look good C. they want to save time D. they want to save money 42. The writer use a question in each paragraph to ________.

It can be inferred that the writer ________. A. doesn’t wear shoes with high heels B. puts fashion over comfort and health C. thinks characters are more important than looks D. tells the importance of doing fun things with friends 第Ⅱ卷 （非选择题 共35分） 五、词与短语填空（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 仔细阅读下面五个句子，然后用下面方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使每个句子在结构、句义和逻辑上正确。（提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的） take; made in; player; share; made up; character; fantastic 46.
