Like almost every set of new parents, Bryan and Elizabeth Shaw started snapping pictures of their son, Noah, practically from the moment he was born. When he was about three months old, Elizabeth noticed something odd.
The flash on their digital camera created the typical red dot in the center of Noah's left eye, but the right eye had a white spot at the center, almost as if the flash was being reflected back at the camera by something. When Elizabeth took Noah to an eye doctor, Noah was diagnosed with retinal (视网膜) cancer with the white reflection as a sign. He endured months of treatment, but it was too late.
Noah's cancer is treatable if caught early. Bryan Shaw wondered whether there were signs he’d missed. He went back over every baby picture of Noah he could find and discovered the first white spot in a photo taken when Noah was 12 days old. As time went on, it appeared more frequently. ‘By the time he was four months old, it was showing up in 25 percent of the pictures taken of him per month,’ Bryan recalled.
Later, Bryan was determined to put his hard-won insights to good use. He created a database that recorded the cancer's appearance in every photo of Noah. He also collected photos and compiled the data from eight other children with the same cancer. Armed with that data, he began to work with colleagues to develop a smartphone app that can scan the photos in the user's camera roll to search for white eye and can be used as a kind of ophthalmoscope(眼底镜). Called White Eye Detector, it is now available for free on Google Play and in Apple's Apple Store.
“I just kept telling myself, I really need to do this,”Bryan said. “This disease is tough to detect. Not only could this software save vision, but it can save lives.”
24. Why did Bryan and Elizabeth take pictures of Noah?
A. To record his growth. B. To celebrate his birth.
C. To test their digital camera. D. To collect evidence of eye diseases.
25. Which word can best describe Bryan's feelings in paragraph 3?
A. Terrified. B. Regretful. C. Lonely. D. Curious
26. What can the app do to help?
A. It serves as a detector. B. It presents expert advice.
C. It saves photos on users' phones. D. It provides a worldwide database.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. How a boy lost his eye. B. How a new app works.
C. How a father saved his son. D. How an app came into being.

Sora, a new AI model developed by the company OpenAI — creator of chatbot ChatGPT—— has recently become a global focus. The text-to-video artificial intelligence technology has the potential to make a great change in video industries.
Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and respond to user prompts, OpenAI said. It is able to generate complex scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and accurate details of the subject and background.
Liu Xingliang, director of the Beijing-based Data Center of China Internet, said Sora is undoubtedly a major breakthrough for AI. “It not only shows AI's advanced ability to understand and create complex visual content, but also brings about opportunities and challenges for video content creation, entertainment, film and television production industries. The video-generation model will help video content creators to turn their ideas into reality at a faster speed and at a lower cost, and offer audiences richer and more diverse visual experiences,” Liu said, adding that AI is expected to play a more important role in all aspects of human lives in the future.
Meanwhile, the use of text-to-video AI models raises concerns about ethics, copyright protection, personal privacy and data security, experts said. How to ensure healthy content has become an important issue, and more efforts are needed to make rules and regulations to ensure the healthy development of such technology.
Zhou Hongyi, founder of Chinese company 360 Security Group, said:“Sora might bring a huge disruption to the advertising industry, movie trailers and short video industry, but it may not necessarily beat TikTok quickly. It is more likely to become a creative tool for TikTok.”
28. According to the text, what is the possible function of Sora?
A. writing an essay B. drawing an image
C. generating a movie D.composing a song
29. How does Sora bring opportunities to video content industries?
A. By reducing the time of making a video.
B. By adding the cost of making a video.
C. By offering audiences a single visual experience.
D. By helping the creators copy other's ideas.
30. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A. the significance of Sora B. the potential risks of Sora
C. the working process of Sora D. the functions of Sora
31. Which statement does Zhou Hongyi agree with?
A. Sora is important in all aspects of human lives. B. Sora will replace the traditional video industry.
C. Sora poses huge risks to TikTok. D. Sora is a double-edged sword.
D
One of the most traditional British holidays is the“seaside holiday” Typically, families get on a train or into a car and travel to British seaside towns. They sunbathe on the beach, buy ice creams, eat fish and chips, build sandcastles and so on.
In the early 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more and more British people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather isn't very good, even in summer, so a lot leave the UK for a vacation. Particularly popular with families on a budget is the“package holiday”, where the cost of flights and accommodation are offered as one discounted price by travel agents.
In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became more wealthy, or at least had more disposable income. As a result, young people started to go abroad in groups, to places such as Spain and Greece. Once at their destination, they socialized with other groups of young people and had one long party.
British holidaying habits have begun to change, however, climate change means that the UK now has a warmer climate than before, so people don't always feel they need to go overseas to find good weather. Also, the world seems a less certain place as interconnected economics rise and fall, which means that the cost of foreign holidays is less predictable than it used to be. As a result, more and more Britons are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.
In the UK, the domestic (国内的) tourism industry— when people go on holiday in their own country— is healthier than it has been in decades. There is now an increased appreciation among Britons for the diversity of the UK. It is not just the geography and the diversity of climate-based activities on offer. It's also the diversity of the cultures in the UK that is beginning to be of interest to domestic tourists.
The UK has always been famous for its international explorers, but now it is starting to discover itself.
32. What mainly caused Britons travel abroad for holidays in the early 1970s?
A. The bad weather in the UK. B. The lower cost of flights.
C. The trend of going overseas. D. The rise of tourism industry.
33. What does the underlined word “disposable” mean in paragraph 3?
A. easy to handle B. steady in amount C. available for use D. flexible to change
34. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Climate change has an impact on the change of British holidaying habits.
B. Steady interconnected economics encourage more Britons holiday in the UK.
C. Package holiday was particularly popular with rich families in the early 1970s.
D. Both domestic and international tourists are interested in the diversity of the UK.
35. What's author's attitude towards UK's domestic tourism industry?
A. uncertain B. Pessimistic. C. Optimistic. D. Objective.
第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项(有两项为多余选项)。
Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. 36
Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they’ ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. 37 One well-known businesswoman says,‘At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It's a common questıon, but it will get things going.’ From there you can move on to other matters—— sometimes to really personal questions. 38
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. 39 If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it's time for you to change the subject.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you' re saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, ‘I’ ve really enjoyed meeting you.’ 40 Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ ve known you half their life.
A. You can become a popular person.
B. It's polite to listen to others with a smile.
C. These people have something in common.
D. Real listening at least means some things.
E. If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret.
F. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
G. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question.

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
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。
I am a proud mother of three children, my last little one being delivered in the middle of this pandemic. She was born in August and her name is Aida.
Shortly after having Aida, my mother-in-law Ann showed me something she learned from her friend's mother in an art class she attended weekly. She had showed me how to knit (编织)a scarf. She showed me stitches(针) and gave me her half done project. I spent a lot of time breastfeeding my sweet little girl, so I had some extra time to do something with my hands throughout the day. I enjoyed making the scarf so I purchased tons of yarn(线) since it was winter. I wanted to make scarves for my three children as Christmas gifts.
There was a new family that moved in down the street. The only daughter of the family was Jane, a shy girl, aged 14, the same age of my oldest son David. It seemed that she came from a financially disadvantaged family, for she always wore old clothes. Worse still, in such cold days, she had no more clothes to wear and trembled with cold.
Due to the pandemic, society was thrown into crisis mode. Schools were closed, food supplies and deliveries were suspended and children were stuck at home. In such discouraging times, however, they became good companions, talking and playing at home or around the houses.
It was extremely cold this winter. Every time David came back from outside, with red face, he always cried, “Mum, it is freezing outside!” Then, he came over to see whether I finished the scarf. I could tell how impatient he was to wear my scarf sooner! I had to speed the project to satisfy his expectation. But David comforted me saying he could wait a few days. What a kind and considerate boy he was! Then my great art project finally was accomplished on the morning ahead of Christmas.
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。
P1. I wrapped the scarf around David's neck.
P2. Later that day David came back saying Jane also deserved a scarf.

续写参考范文
I wrapped the scarf around David's neck. Looking down at the scarf I had just finished, he was overjoyed, his face lighting up the whole room and dark eyes twinkling like diamonds. Unable to contain his joy and excitement, he threw himself into my arms, murmuring“Thank you, dear mum”. Then, he skipped out to join Jane like a happy deer with his scarf around his neck flying in the air. Relieved and content, I saw David play happily outside, with the scarf sheltering him to brave the bone-chilling wind.
Later that day David came back saying Jane also deserved a scarf. David mentioned Jane trembled with cold in the freezing wind in her thin clothes. “Can I give this to Jane as a Christmas gift?” David asked in a low voice. Smilingly and lovingly, I nodded. Smiling gratefully, he leaped to his feet, kissed me on the cheek and dashed out like wind. Seeing David rush into Jane's house with the scarf in his hand, I felt a burst of pride. I was fully aware that a warm scarf can help us survive whatever weather and love and kindness can get us through whatever severe pandemic.
