One day, a sheep was enjoying himself at the mountainside, while a wolf came out of nowhere all of a sudden and intended to eat it. The sheep jumped away immediately and used his horns to fight against the wolf, crying out loudly to his friends for help.
The horse looked down and spotted the wolf, running away quickly. The donkey stopped his pace and spotted the wolf, slipping away quietly. The pig passed by and saw the wolf, rushing down the mountain right away. The rabbit heard the voice of the wolf and dashing away swiftly. The dog heard the cries of the sheep and hurried to the mountainside, jumping out of the bushes and biting the wolf’s neck. The wolf felt so painful that he cried miserably and escaped at once.
After the sheep came back home, all his friends visited him.

The donkey said, “Why not tell me you were in danger? I could shout him away with my horrible voice!”
The pig said, “Why not tell me you were in danger? I could use my big mouth to crush him down the mountain.”
The rabbit said, “Why not tell me you were in danger? I am good at running and could ask others to help.”
Among all of them, only the dog did not say anything, but the sheep came to realize what was nature of friendship.

Last year, as my then-9-year-old son, Leopold, and I were preparing for a mom-son ski trip to Keystone, Colorado, I came up with a rule: We would say yes to everything.
Leopold is a picky eater and can be hesitant to try new things. According to him, it’s because he has fears, including heights, spiders and the dark. I was hoping to find a solution. So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day, after watching the movie of the same name. Before the trip, Leopold and I agreed we would say yes to everything, especially new ones.
Settled at our hotel, I took Leopold to meet his snowboarding instructor. Though he had basic lessons in Connecticut, this was his first time on a larger mountain. While he learned, I skied by myself, choosing an easy green run on day one. Inspired by Leopold’s bravery on the chairlift, I challenged myself to ski a more demanding blue run the next day. It was steep (陡峭的), but with careful turns, I made it down in one piece, feeling proud of conquering a new challenge.
Later that afternoon, when Leopold and I were reunited, he asked if we could go in the outdoor hot tub. Mind you, it was a 20-degree day, and the only thing I hate more than being cold is being cold and wet! When I started to object, Leopold reminded me of the rule.
Yes, it was cold, and yes, I was wet. But it was also refreshing to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as Leopold and I braved it together.
Developing a sense of adventure helps us live life to the fullest — even if you sometimes wind up cold and wet.
8. Why did the writer start a “Yes Day” rule?
A. To conquer Leopold’s ski fears. B. To master new snowboarding tricks.
C. To win in snowboarding competitions. D. To encourage Leopold to try new things.
9. Which of the following best describes the writer?
A. Adventurous. B. Confident. C. Optimistic. D. Considerate.
10. What can we learn about the writer from paragraph 4&5?
A. She was eager to go in the outdoor hot tub.
B. She regretted breaking the rule with Leopold.
C. She found it rewarding to brave the experience.
D. She felt much better when she got out of the tub.
11 What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Braving Winter: Family Unity B. Embracing Yes: A Family Adventure
C. Family Ski Trip: Mountain Memories D. Ski Challenges: Winter Wonders
D
People send messages every day on social media. These online conversations can have a huge impact and shape how societies make decisions. But there is a growing problem. Sometimes people don’t listen to each other and can say really hurtful things. Would it be better if there were an advisor in online talks? We tried to use artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) to carry out this task.
So, we did an online experiment with pairs of people discussing a challenging topic. In the first group, one participant (参与者) in each pair had an AI helper. The AI tried to make sure the discussion was polite and respectful. It didn’t change the participant’s point of view, though! The participant could accept or refuse the suggestions or completely edit the message an AI helper offers. In the control group, the people had a conversation on the same topic but neither of the participants had an AI helper. After the discussions ended, the pairs shared their thoughts on how good the conversation was.
In our study, the participants accepted the AI’s suggestions two thirds of the time. When they used the AI’s suggestions, the messages became more positive and polite. Participants whose partners used the AI reported feeling better about the conversation. They were more willing to understand and respect each other, even if they still disagreed. The people who used the AI themselves didn’t report a huge change in how they felt about the conversation. However, they were more willing to respect the opinions of others!
The results of our study show that AI did a good job of making online discussions polite. But you don’t need a reminder to be respectful. Even in the vast digital world, each conversation matters. Your choice to be kind and respectful can make a big difference. It can promote a culture of healthy discussion and understanding. This is also true for real-life conversations.
12. What do the underlined words “this task” in paragraph 1 probably refer to?
A. Starting talks. B. Guiding conversations.
C. Changing views. D. Sending messages.
13. What do we learn about participants with AI helpers?
A. They responded to AI politely. B. They changed views as AI suggested.
C. They tended to respect others’ views. D. They experienced mixed feelings.
14. What does the author want to stress in the last paragraph?
A. The effectiveness of AI in online discussions. B. The significance of respectful communication.
C. The importance of reminders in conversations. D. The balance between technologies and choices.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Can Al remove mean posts? B. Can AI make online talks kinder?
C. How to respect different opinions? D. How to reach an agreement online?

Jack was new to Woodberry Forest School this year. He carried a secret burden: a stutter (口吃) that often brought about laughter from his classmates. This made him very upset. Shy and reserved. Jack chose to fade into the background rather than draw attention to himself. He felt like an outsider, never quite fitting in.
Jack was eager to exchange ideas with his classmates, but afraid of getting into trouble. Jack's science teacher, Katherine, a warm and caring woman often wearing a smile, noticed Jack's stutter and shyness. She observed how Jack struggled to express himself in class and how he would shy away when called upon to speak.
Determined to lend a hand, Katherine took Jack under her wing, encouraging him to embrace bravery and believe in his own abilities. Subsequently, Katherine adopted a set of systematic methods to help him. She was glad to find the potential in him, the intelligence and creativity that lay hidden beneath his stutter. Whenever possible, Katherine was always ready to praise his efforts, always declaring, "You are so great!” Whenever Jack stumbled over his words, Katherine always smiled at him encouragingly, providing him with the strength to continue. Day by day, Jack found himself speaking with greater confidence and fluency.
One day, Katherine announced that each student should give a presentation of a science project in front of the class. Jack's heart sank, the familiar fear and anxiety wrapping around him. How could he possibly stand before his classmates to give his ideas clearly, knowing that they would laugh at him? As the presentation drew near, Jack's anxiety mounted. Then came the big day. He watched his classmates take turns to walk up to the front. They gave their presentation with confidence and backed to their seats with satisfaction. However, while Jack was waiting for his turn, his heart beat so violently that he felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles.

Last year, as my then-9-year-old son, Leopold, and I were preparing for a mom-son ski trip to Keystone, Colorado, I came up with a rule: We would say yes to everything.
Leopold is a picky eater and can be hesitant to try new things. According to him, it’s because he has fears, including heights, spiders and the dark. I was hoping to find a solution. So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day, after watching the movie of the same name. Before the trip, Leopold and I agreed we would say yes to everything, especially new ones.
Settled at our hotel, I took Leopold to meet his snowboarding instructor. Though he had basic lessons in Connecticut, this was his first time on a larger mountain. While he learned, I skied by myself, choosing an easy green run on day one. Inspired by Leopold’s bravery on the chairlift, I challenged myself to ski a more demanding blue run the next day. It was steep (陡峭的), but with careful turns, I made it down in one piece, feeling proud of conquering a new challenge.
Later that afternoon, when Leopold and I were reunited, he asked if we could go in the outdoor hot tub. Mind you, it was a 20-degree day, and the only thing I hate more than being cold is being cold and wet! When I started to object, Leopold reminded me of the rule.
Yes, it was cold, and yes, I was wet. But it was also refreshing to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as Leopold and I braved it together.
Developing a sense of adventure helps us live life to the fullest — even if you sometimes wind up cold and wet.
8. Why did the writer start a “Yes Day” rule?
A. To conquer Leopold’s ski fears. B. To master new snowboarding tricks.
C. To win in snowboarding competitions. D. To encourage Leopold to try new things.
9. Which of the following best describes the writer?
A. Adventurous. B. Confident. C. Optimistic. D. Considerate.
10. What can we learn about the writer from paragraph 4&5?
A. She was eager to go in the outdoor hot tub.
B. She regretted breaking the rule with Leopold.
C. She found it rewarding to brave the experience.
D. She felt much better when she got out of the tub.
11. What is a suitable title for the text?

C. Family Ski Trip: Mountain Memories D. Ski Challenges: Winter Wonders
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B

But it was also refreshing to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as Leopold and I braved it together.(是的,天气很冷,是的,我浑身湿透了。但感受凉风吹在皮肤上的感觉也很清爽,而且我们一进去,热水浴缸里的温水感觉就好多了。离开这里是另一回事,但我和利奥波德一起勇敢地走出来,这段经历令人愉快)”可知,虽然作者最初反对去室外温泉浴池,因为她讨厌寒冷和潮湿,但最终她发现这个体验令人清新,一旦进入温泉,温暖的水感觉也很好。这表明作者最终觉得这个经历是值得的,尽管她最初有所犹豫。故选C。

People send messages every day on social media. These online conversations can have a huge impact and shape how societies make decisions. But there is a growing problem. Sometimes people don’t listen to each other and can say really hurtful things. Would it be better if there were an advisor in online talks? We tried to use artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) to carry out this task.
So, we did an online experiment with pairs of people discussing a challenging topic. In the first group, one participant (参与者) in each pair had an AI helper. The AI tried to make sure the discussion was polite and respectful. It didn’t change the participant’s point of view, though! The participant could accept or refuse the suggestions or completely edit the message an AI helper offers. In the control group, the people had a conversation on the same topic but neither of the participants had an AI helper. After the discussions ended, the pairs shared their thoughts on how good the conversation was.
In our study, the participants accepted the AI’s suggestions two thirds of the time. When they used the AI’s suggestions, the messages became more positive and polite. Participants whose partners used the AI reported feeling better about the conversation. They were more willing to understand and respect each other, even if they still disagreed. The people who used the AI themselves didn’t report a huge change in how they felt about the conversation. However, they were more willing to respect the opinions of others!
The results of our study show that AI did a good job of making online discussions polite. But you don’t need a reminder to be respectful. Even in the vast digital world, each conversation matters. Your choice to be kind and respectful can make a big difference. It can promote a culture of healthy discussion and understanding. This is also true for real-life conversations.
12. What do the underlined words “this task” in paragraph 1 probably refer to?
A. Starting talks. B. Guiding conversations.
C. Changing views. D. Sending messages.
13. What do we learn about participants with AI helpers?
A. They responded to AI politely. B. They changed views as AI suggested.
C. They tended to respect others’ views. D. They experienced mixed feelings.
14. What does the author want to stress in the last paragraph?
A. The effectiveness of AI in online discussions. B. The significance of respectful communication.
C. The importance of reminders in conversations. D. The balance between technologies and choices.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Can Al remove mean posts? B. Can AI make online talks kinder?
C. How to respect different opinions? D. How to reach an agreement online?
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能(AI)在网络对话中的作用,通过一个在线实验来探讨AI助手如何帮助人们在讨论敏感话题时保持礼貌和尊重。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“But there is a growing problem. Sometimes people don’t listen to each other and can say really hurtful things. Would it be better if there were an advisor in online talks? (但是有一个日益严重的问题。有时候人们不听对方的,会说一些很伤人的话。如果在线会谈中有一个顾问会不会更好?)”可知,有时候人们不听对方的,会说一些很伤人的话。如果在线会谈中有一个顾问会不会更好?因此划线词指代的是使用人工智能作为在线对话的顾问,以确保对话是礼貌和尊重的即避免说一些很伤人的话,故该任务指代的是即指导对话。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The AI tried to make sure the discussion was polite and respectful. It didn’t change the participant’s point of view, though! The participant could accept or refuse the suggestions or completely edit the message an AI helper offers. (人工智能试图确保讨论是礼貌和尊重的。然而,这并没有改变参与者的观点!参与者可以接受或拒绝人工智能助手的建议,也可以完全编辑人工智能助手提供的信息。)”可知,在使用AI助手可以确保参与者是礼貌的和尊重的,即使存在分歧,参与者可以接受或拒绝人工智能助手的建议,也可以完全编辑人工智能助手提供的信息,更愿意理解和尊重对方。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Even in the vast digital world, each conversation matters. Your choice to be kind and respectful can make a big difference. It can promote a culture of healthy discussion and understanding. This is also true for real-life conversations. ( 即使在庞大的数字世界里,每一次对话都很重要。你选择友善和尊重他人会带来很大的不同。它可以促进健康讨论和理解的文化。现实生活中的对话也是如此。)”可知,最后一段强调了尊重的沟通的重要性,即使在数字世界中,每个人的对话都很重要,选择善良和尊重可以促进健康的讨论文化和理解。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But there is a growing problem. Sometimes people don’t listen to each other and can say really hurtful things. Would it be better if there were an advisor in online talks? We tried to use artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) to carry out this task. (但是有一个日益严重的问题。有时候人们不听对方的,会说一些很伤人的话。如果在线会谈中有一个顾问会不会更好?我们尝试使用人工智能(AI)来完成这项任务。)”以及通读全文可知,文章主要讨论了人工智能(AI)在网络对话中的作用,通过一个在线实验来探讨AI助手如何帮助人们在讨论敏感话题时保持礼貌和尊重。实验结果显示,使用AI助手的建议可以使对话更加积极和礼貌,参与者更愿意理解和尊重对方,即使他们仍然存在分歧即文章讨论了人工智能在使在线对话更加礼貌方面的作用。故选B。

47. 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。
Jack was new to Woodberry Forest School this year. He carried a secret burden: a stutter (口吃) that often brought about laughter from his classmates. This made him very upset. Shy and reserved. Jack chose to fade into the background rather than draw attention to himself. He felt like an outsider, never quite fitting in.
Jack was eager to exchange ideas with his classmates, but afraid of getting into trouble. Jack's science teacher, Katherine, a warm and caring woman often wearing a smile, noticed Jack's stutter and shyness. She observed how Jack struggled to express himself in class and how he would shy away when called upon to speak.
Determined to lend a hand, Katherine took Jack under her wing, encouraging him to embrace bravery and believe in his own abilities. Subsequently, Katherine adopted a set of systematic methods to help him. She was glad to find the potential in him, the intelligence and creativity that lay hidden beneath his stutter. Whenever possible, Katherine was always ready to praise his efforts, always declaring, "You are so great!” Whenever Jack stumbled over his words, Katherine always smiled at him encouragingly, providing him with the strength to continue. Day by day, Jack found himself speaking with greater confidence and fluency.
One day, Katherine announced that each student should give a presentation of a science project in front of the class. Jack's heart sank, the familiar fear and anxiety wrapping around him. How could he possibly stand before his classmates to give his ideas clearly, knowing that they would laugh at him? As the presentation drew near, Jack's anxiety mounted. Then came the big day. He watched his classmates take turns to walk up to the front. They gave their presentation with confidence and backed to their seats with satisfaction. However, while Jack was waiting for his turn, his heart beat so violently that he felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles.

Paragraph 2:
When Jack finished his presentation, the room erupted into applause.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】It was finally his turn. Jack stood up slowly and edged towards the front, his hands trembling. His classmates looked on, ready to see what was in store for Jack. He stood there tongue-tied with his face turning pale. When he looked around the classroom, Katherine was just smiling at him encouragingly. So Jack took a deep breath and concentrated on his presentation. Words flowed from his lips, despite some pauses and repetitions. He even added gestures to better express himself. It seemed that confidence had found him.
When Jack finished his presentation, the room erupted into applause. The applause washed over Jack, and with it came a wave of confidence. His grateful eyes met Katherine's, her smile now a symbol of his journey to self-assurance. No longer defined by his stutter, Jack felt a sense of belonging. His presentation wasn't just an assignment; it was a testament to his ability to overcome personal obstacles. As the room quieted, Jack returned to his seat, his heart lighter, knowing that he had made a lasting impression on his classmates and himself.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Jack和他的科学老师Katherine之间的互动,以及Jack如何逐渐克服口吃、提升自信并赢得同学们掌声的过程。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“终于轮到他了。”以及第二段首句内容“Jack做完报告后,全场爆发出热烈的掌声。”可知,第一段可描写Jack克服内心的恐惧,完成了自己的科学报告。
②由第二段首句内容“Jack做完报告后,全场爆发出热烈的掌声。”可知,第二段可描写Jack非常感激老师的鼓励,也克服了对口吃的恐惧。
2.续写线索:Jack是一名新生,他内心藏着一个秘密,那就是他口吃——为了不被同学们嘲笑,他将自己隐没起来——他的老师Katherine注意到了Jack,于是她经常帮助Jack鼓励Jack——随着时间的推移,Jack发现自己说话越来越有信心——一天,Katherine说所有学生都要在全体同学面前做一个科学项目的报告——Jack非常紧张,如坐针毡——终于轮到Jack,他鼓起勇气,开始了自己的科学汇报,当他看到自己的老师时,他信心倍增——Jack成功地完成了回报,得到了所有同学的称赞
