During a 2006 visit to Hudson’s Hope in northern British Columbia, my husband George went flying with a friend, curious to see the landmass beneath his feet from another perspective. They flew over the town of Hudson’s Hope, the Bennett Dam and the Peace River, taking photos as they went. At one point, the pilot told George to take a good look below, where he noted what looked to be large circles carved (刻) into the ground.
“UFO site?” George asked playfully.
“No, but after our flight, I’ll show you an article in the local newspaper on this particular project,” the pilot answered.
The article explained that in 1999 an artist named Deryk Houston made a journey to Baghdad to see the suffering that war had brought to the people of Iraq, which set him on a course to become an artist who uses the earth as his canvas and peace as his inspiration. Upon his return to Peace River Country, he, along with his son, Sam, and volunteer Phil Kirtzinger, constructed a series of concentric circles made of sand, gravel and hay. Symbolic renderings (艺术表达) of a mother and her child were created at the center of the work. Deryk’s hope was that the site would become a permanent sanctuary (永久的圣地) of peace, a place to visit for people searching for spiritual renewal, new hope or just a few precious moments of inner peace.
With most of us here being safe and sound in our own environments, and relatively ignorant of what’s going on in far-away, war-torn countries, how often do we stop to think about the loss of a child or a mother’s struggle to find the necessities of life in the midst of chaos (混乱)? We only come face to face with the facts when they are brought to our attention in a meaningful way. Such was the effect that Deryk’s work had on both my husband and me. While few of us have the talent to create such a monumental tribute (不朽的赞歌) to peace, we can draw inspiration from people like Deryk and do our part, in our own way, to help the cause.
4.What happened during George’s visit to Hudson’s Hope in 2006?
A.He saw a breathtaking sight.
B.He visited some tourist attractions.
C.He encountered a friend who was a pilot.
D.H made headlines in the local newspaper.
5.What led to the construction of the large circles?
A.A UFO. B.An article in 1999.
C.Deryk’s suffering in Iraq. D.Deryk’s journey to Baghdad.
6.What is the purpose of Deryk’s project?
A.To bring peace to people. B.To teach his son a lesson.
C.To attract visitors to the town. D.To help a painful mother and child.
7.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.What is happening in war-torn countries.
B.How the author and her husband were affected.
C.Who should be responsible for a chaotic world.
D.What the author and her husband have contributed to peace.
C
The artificial intelligence (AI) industry is projected to reach a value of $407 billion by 2027. However, its rapid development raises ethical concerns, particularly regarding the treatment of data labelers. Without these workers, products like ChatGPT wouldn’t exist.
Data labelers play a key role in helping AI systems “learn”. As the name suggests, data labeling involves assigning labels to raw data-such as images, videos or text-so that Al systems can recognize patterns and make predictions. For example, autonomous vehicles depend on labeled videos to differentiate between pedestrians and road signs, while large language models like ChatGPT require labeled text to interpret human language.
Despite their essential role, labelers are often exploited. AI models can cost tens of millions of dollars to develop, so tech giants like Google and Microsoft outsource much of the data labeling work to factories in developing countries where workers are paid unfairly low wages. For instance, data labelers in Venezuela typically earn between $0.90 to $2 per hour whereas their counterparts in the US earn $10 to $25 per hour. Some companies even employ children for this task. The working conditions are also poor. Many data labelers are crowded into dusty, unsafe rooms that pose health risks. Moreover, they often lack basic social protections such as healthcare.
Data labeling can also be mentally exhausting due to repetitive tasks, tight deadlines and strict quality controls. Workers are sometimes required to read and label hate speech or other abusive content which can harm their mental health. Additionally, labelers often have no access to performance data and are unable to defend themselves in the event of wage cuts or job losses.
These issues have become so serious that in May nearly 100 data labelers and AI workers in Kenya published an open letter to US President Joe Biden, declaring that “our working conditions amount to modern-day slavery”.
The urgent need for more ethical Al supply chains is clear. Companies must implement fair wage policies that reflect the value of labelers’ contributions. Governments should introduce regulations promoting fairness and transparency in performance evaluations and data processing. As Al users, we can all advocate for ethical practices by supporting companies that are frank about their supply chains and treat their workers fairly.
8.What is the key role of data labelers in AI industry?
A.They analyse data to train AI systems. B.They program AI models for language tasks.
C.They assist AI system to identify patterns. D.They recognize patterns and make predictions.
9.Which is a challenge data labelers may face?
A.Leakages of personal information. B.Lack of professional training
C.Limited access to information D.A threat to psychological health
10.Why did data labelers in Kenya publish an open letter to US President Joe Biden?
A.To complain about hate speech. B.To require better working conditions
C.To defend their rights as citizens D.To declare their wages cuts and job loss
11.What is the purpose of this text?
A.To introduce the basic tasks data labelers do
B.To advocate bettering the welfare of data labelers
C.To reveal how data labelers relieve their work pressure.
D.To interpret the importance data labelers attach to AI industry.

Aiming to advance a more sustainable future, the Netherlands has introduced cycling paths lined with photovoltaic cells (光伏电池) to harvest solar energy. Two of the country’s cycling paths were covered with photovoltaic coating by a construction company named Colas and BAM Royal Group under its Wattway project, with a surface area of 1,000 m² each. “This is the first project of this size in the country,” said a statement by the firm.
Wattway has introduced a new solar panel technology with remarkable thinness and strength. These photovoltaic panels adhere seamlessly to (无缝附着在) surfaces such as bicycle paths and parking lots, avoiding the need for extensive civil engineering projects. The technology allows electricity generation without occupying agricultural land or destroying natural landscapes.
Each panel consists of traditional photovoltaic cells that efficiently change solar energy into electricity. “These extremely delicate cells are coated with a special substance, sufficiently translucent (半透明的) to let in sunlight and resistant enough to bear vehicle traffic,” said the company website. Furthermore, the surface is specially treated to provide the same level of grip (抓力) as conventional road mixes, ensuring functionality and safety.
The technology enables equipment linked to Wattway to achieve energy autonomy, including diverse applications such as charging stations for electric bicycles, closed-circuit security cameras, bus shelters, and dynamic signs.
In the Netherlands, South Holland, North Brabant, and North Holland provinces cooperate on a unified programme. At the same time, Utrecht pursues a separate initiative, focusing on pilot projects that integrate solar panels into bicycle paths. The primary objective is to generate sustainable electricity by making use of existing road space without the necessity for additional land allocation.
Moreover, the Dutch project aims to potentially contribute to establishing a practical market for solar energy production on bike paths, specifically emphasizing the extensive35,000 km of cycle paths in the Netherlands, presenting a great opportunity for harvesting solar power.
12.What is the function of photovoltaic cells?
A.Changing solar energy into electricity. B.Absorbing more sunlight freely.
C.Providing the strong level of grip. D.Ensuring modernization.
13.What can we know about the new solar panel technology from the text?
A.It may destroy some natural landscapes.
B.Utrecht fails to engage in it.
C.It can be used for more than charging electric bicycles.
D.It can’t balance the paths’ functionality and safety.
14.What does the last paragraph imply?
A.The cycling paths bring large profits.
B.The project is a challenge.
C.The drawbacks of solar power are potential.
D.The future of solar energy on bike paths is promising.
15.What is a suitable title for the text?
A.The Netherlands Is Well-known for Its Expansive Cycling Facilities
B.Solar Panels Transform Dutch Cycling Paths into Green Energy Passages
C.New Technology Enables Equipment Linked to Wattway to Achieve Energy
D.North Brabant and North Holland Cooperate on a Unified Programme

School is one of the most memorable experiences of our life. It’s a moment when we meet new families called “classmates”. At first, they are strangers, then classmates, then friends, then best friends, and so on.
I study at Ovom Girls High School in Aba City. My years in Ovom Girls are priceless because it’s the place where I grew up and where my youthful life began. I found the Beautiful With Brain — my group of friends, and that’s the name we are known for. In this group, we experience a lot of things together; we study together and sit together. We have good connections with each other, even with our occasional lapses (失误).
The most memorable moment in school was in my last year, when an examination was to be conducted for all graduating students. This exam was not just another test; it was a chance to be recognized (认可) among the best, with the top three performers from each class earning special awards. Our class teacher then announced that only those who had performed well in previous exams would have the opportunity to participate.
As the days passed, anticipation (期待) built. When the list of examinees was finally announced, I, together with my group of friends, was extremely excited to find all our names on the list. To celebrate it, we decided to have a small gathering right after school. We rushed to the school cafeteria, bought our favorite snacks and drinks, found a corner and sat together, chatting about the upcoming examination. We shared our hopes and fears, and my friends offered me words of encouragement and support. They reminded me of all the times when we had studied together and how much I had improved over the years. We laughed and joked, trying to ease (缓解) the tension that was building up.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, we worked out a study schedule for the exam.

【答案】18.A 19.C 20.B
【原文】 This summer I joined a two-week summer camp in China. The camp was for language learning. The other campers and I learned Chinese through activities like storytelling and role-playing. In the first week, to use the vocabulary we’d learned in real-world situations, we were encouraged to buy vegetables at the market and book entry tickets to the museum. During the second week, the activities were richer. We attended classes in traditional Chinese art in the first three days, such as fan painting, paper cutting and Chinese calligraphy. It was so cool to drive out the summer heat with a fan(扇子) painted by myself. Then the following day we went to eat traditional food there. We also spent two days visiting some places of interest, learning about the local history of the area. In the last day of our camp, we had a sharing session, during which we were asked to describe the part we like best of our camp. It was a hard choice. For me, every activity was fun—Chinese culture, the food and people all impressed me deeply. I hope to come again in the future.

During a 2006 visit to Hudson’s Hope in northern British Columbia, my husband George went flying with a friend, curious to see the landmass beneath his feet from another perspective. They flew over the town of Hudson’s Hope, the Bennett Dam and the Peace River, taking photos as they went. At one point, the pilot told George to take a good look below, where he noted what looked to be large circles carved (刻) into the ground.
“UFO site?” George asked playfully.
“No, but after our flight, I’ll show you an article in the local newspaper on this particular project,” the pilot answered.
The article explained that in 1999 an artist named Deryk Houston made a journey to Baghdad to see the suffering that war had brought to the people of Iraq, which set him on a course to become an artist who uses the earth as his canvas and peace as his inspiration. Upon his return to Peace River Country, he, along with his son, Sam, and volunteer Phil Kirtzinger, constructed a series of concentric circles made of sand, gravel and hay. Symbolic renderings (艺术表达) of a mother and her child were created at the center of the work. Deryk’s hope was that the site would become a permanent sanctuary (永久的圣地) of peace, a place to visit for people searching for spiritual renewal, new hope or just a few precious moments of inner peace.
With most of us here being safe and sound in our own environments, and relatively ignorant of what’s going on in far-away, war-torn countries, how often do we stop to think about the loss of a child or a mother’s struggle to find the necessities of life in the midst of chaos (混乱)? We only come face to face with the facts when they are brought to our attention in a meaningful way. Such was the effect that Deryk’s work had on both my husband and me. While few of us have the talent to create such a monumental tribute (不朽的赞歌) to peace, we can draw inspiration from people like Deryk and do our part, in our own way, to help the cause.

The artificial intelligence (AI) industry is projected to reach a value of $407 billion by 2027. However, its rapid development raises ethical concerns, particularly regarding the treatment of data labelers. Without these workers, products like ChatGPT wouldn’t exist.
Data labelers play a key role in helping AI systems “learn”. As the name suggests, data labeling involves assigning labels to raw data-such as images, videos or text-so that Al systems can recognize patterns and make predictions. For example, autonomous vehicles depend on labeled videos to differentiate between pedestrians and road signs, while large language models like ChatGPT require labeled text to interpret human language.
Despite their essential role, labelers are often exploited. AI models can cost tens of millions of dollars to develop, so tech giants like Google and Microsoft outsource much of the data labeling work to factories in developing countries where workers are paid unfairly low wages. For instance, data labelers in Venezuela typically earn between $0.90 to $2 per hour whereas their counterparts in the US earn $10 to $25 per hour. Some companies even employ children for this task. The working conditions are also poor. Many data labelers are crowded into dusty, unsafe rooms that pose health risks. Moreover, they often lack basic social protections such as healthcare.
Data labeling can also be mentally exhausting due to repetitive tasks, tight deadlines and strict quality controls. Workers are sometimes required to read and label hate speech or other abusive content which can harm their mental health. Additionally, labelers often have no access to performance data and are unable to defend themselves in the event of wage cuts or job losses.
These issues have become so serious that in May nearly 100 data labelers and AI workers in Kenya published an open letter to US President Joe Biden, declaring that “our working conditions amount to modern-day slavery”.
The urgent need for more ethical Al supply chains is clear. Companies must implement fair wage policies that reflect the value of labelers’ contributions. Governments should introduce regulations promoting fairness and transparency in performance evaluations and data processing. As Al users, we can all advocate for ethical practices by supporting companies that are frank about their supply chains and treat their workers fairly.
8.What is the key role of data labelers in AI industry?
A.They analyse data to train AI systems. B.They program AI models for language tasks.
C.They assist AI system to identify patterns. D.They recognize patterns and make predictions.
9.Which is a challenge data labelers may face?
A.Leakages of personal information. B.Lack of professional training
C.Limited access to information D.A threat to psychological health
10.Why did data labelers in Kenya publish an open letter to US President Joe Biden?
A.To complain about hate speech. B.To require better working conditions
C.To defend their rights as citizens D.To declare their wages cuts and job loss
11.What is the purpose of this text?
A.To introduce the basic tasks data labelers do
B.To advocate bettering the welfare of data labelers
C.To reveal how data labelers relieve their work pressure.
D.To interpret the importance data labelers attach to AI industry.
【答案】8.C 9.D 10.B 11.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了当代AI行业数据标签员的工作性质和工作条件,并呼吁改善其糟糕的工作条件并关注他们的身心健康。
8.细节理解题。根据第二段“As the name suggests, data labeling involves assigning labels to raw data-such as images, videos or text-so that Al systems can recognize patterns and make predictions. (正如名字所示,数据标注涉及给原始数据——如图像、视频或文本——分配标签,以便人工智能系统能够识别模式并进行预测。)”可知,数据标签员主要职责是给数据贴标签来帮助AI系统识别不同的东西。故选C项。
9.细节理解题。根据第四段“Workers are sometimes required to read and label hate speech or other abusive content which can harm their mental health. (工人们有时需要阅读并标记仇恨言论或其他辱骂性内容,这可能会损害他们的心理健康。)”可知,数据标签员面临各种各样的问题,其中之一是心理健康可能受到威胁。故选D项。
10.推理判断题。根据第五段“These issues have become so serious that in May nearly 100 data labelers and AI workers in Kenya published an open letter to US President Joe Biden, declaring that “our working conditions amount to modern-day slavery”. (这些问题已经变得如此严重,以至于在五月,肯尼亚近100名数据标注员和人工智能工作者发表了一封致美国总统乔·拜登的公开信,宣称“我们的工作条件相当于现代奴隶制”。)”可知,数据标签员在抗议他们的工作条件堪比当代奴隶制,言下之意是表达对目前工作环境不满,要求改善。故选B项。
11.推理判断题,根据第一段“However, its rapid development raises ethical concerns, particularly regarding the treatment of data labelers. (然而,人工智能的快速发展引发了伦理问题,特别是关于数据标注员的待遇问题。)”及全文可知,本文是通过展现目前数据标签员被压榨的现状来呼吁各界关注并改善其福祉。故选B项。

Aiming to advance a more sustainable future, the Netherlands has introduced cycling paths lined with photovoltaic cells (光伏电池) to harvest solar energy. Two of the country’s cycling paths were covered with photovoltaic coating by a construction company named Colas and BAM Royal Group under its Wattway project, with a surface area of 1,000 m² each. “This is the first project of this size in the country,” said a statement by the firm.
Wattway has introduced a new solar panel technology with remarkable thinness and strength. These photovoltaic panels adhere seamlessly to (无缝附着在) surfaces such as bicycle paths and parking lots, avoiding the need for extensive civil engineering projects. The technology allows electricity generation without occupying agricultural land or destroying natural landscapes.
Each panel consists of traditional photovoltaic cells that efficiently change solar energy into electricity. “These extremely delicate cells are coated with a special substance, sufficiently translucent (半透明的) to let in sunlight and resistant enough to bear vehicle traffic,” said the company website. Furthermore, the surface is specially treated to provide the same level of grip (抓力) as conventional road mixes, ensuring functionality and safety.
The technology enables equipment linked to Wattway to achieve energy autonomy, including diverse applications such as charging stations for electric bicycles, closed-circuit security cameras, bus shelters, and dynamic signs.
In the Netherlands, South Holland, North Brabant, and North Holland provinces cooperate on a unified programme. At the same time, Utrecht pursues a separate initiative, focusing on pilot projects that integrate solar panels into bicycle paths. The primary objective is to generate sustainable electricity by making use of existing road space without the necessity for additional land allocation.
Moreover, the Dutch project aims to potentially contribute to establishing a practical market for solar energy production on bike paths, specifically emphasizing the extensive35,000 km of cycle paths in the Netherlands, presenting a great opportunity for harvesting solar power.
12.What is the function of photovoltaic cells?
A.Changing solar energy into electricity. B.Absorbing more sunlight freely.
C.Providing the strong level of grip. D.Ensuring modernization.
13.What can we know about the new solar panel technology from the text?
A.It may destroy some natural landscapes.
B.Utrecht fails to engage in it.
C.It can be used for more than charging electric bicycles.
D.It can’t balance the paths’ functionality and safety.
14.What does the last paragraph imply?
A.The cycling paths bring large profits.
B.The project is a challenge.
C.The drawbacks of solar power are potential.
D.The future of solar energy on bike paths is promising.
15.What is a suitable title for the text?
A.The Netherlands Is Well-known for Its Expansive Cycling Facilities
B.Solar Panels Transform Dutch Cycling Paths into Green Energy Passages
C.New Technology Enables Equipment Linked to Wattway to Achieve Energy
D.North Brabant and North Holland Cooperate on a Unified Programme
【答案】12.A 13.C 14.D 15.B
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了荷兰为了推进更可持续的未来,在自行车道上引入了铺有光伏电池的自行车道以收集太阳能。
12.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Each panel consists of traditional photovoltaic cells that efficiently change solar energy into electricity.(每个面板都由传统的光伏电池组成,这些电池能高效地将太阳能转化为电能)”可知,光伏电池的功能是将太阳能转化为电能。故选A项。
13.细节理解题。根据第四段中“The technology enables equipment linked to Wattway to achieve energy autonomy, including diverse applications such as charging stations for electric bicycles, closed-circuit security cameras, bus shelters, and dynamic signs.(这项技术使与Wattway相关的设备能够实现能源自主,包括多种应用,如电动自行车充电站、闭路安全摄像头、公交候车亭和动态标志)”可知,这种新技术可以用于多种设备,而不仅仅是电动自行车充电。故选C项。
14.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Moreover, the Dutch project aims to potentially contribute to establishing a practical market for solar energy production on bike paths, specifically emphasizing the extensive 35,000 km of cycle paths in the Netherlands, presenting a great opportunity for harvesting solar power.(此外,荷兰的项目旨在可能为在自行车道上建立实际的太阳能生产市场做出贡献,特别强调了荷兰长达35,000公里的自行车道,为收集太阳能提供了巨大的机会)”可推知,最后一段暗示了在自行车道上利用太阳能的前景是光明的。故选D项。
15.主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“Aiming to advance a more sustainable future, the Netherlands has introduced cycling paths lined with photovoltaic cells (光伏电池) to harvest solar energy.(为了推进更可持续的未来,荷兰引入了铺有光伏电池的自行车道来收集太阳能)”可知,本文主要介绍了荷兰在自行车道上铺设光伏电池,将自行车道变成绿色能源通道的情况。B项“Solar Panels Transform Dutch Cycling Paths into Green Energy Passages(太阳能板将荷兰自行车道变成绿色能源通道)”最符合文章主旨,是最佳标题。故选B项。

I study at Ovom Girls High School in Aba City. My years in Ovom Girls are priceless because it’s the place where I grew up and where my youthful life began. I found the Beautiful With Brain — my group of friends, and that’s the name we are known for. In this group, we experience a lot of things together; we study together and sit together. We have good connections with each other, even with our occasional lapses (失误).
The most memorable moment in school was in my last year, when an examination was to be conducted for all graduating students. This exam was not just another test; it was a chance to be recognized (认可) among the best, with the top three performers from each class earning special awards. Our class teacher then announced that only those who had performed well in previous exams would have the opportunity to participate.
As the days passed, anticipation (期待) built. When the list of examinees was finally announced, I, together with my group of friends, was extremely excited to find all our names on the list. To celebrate it, we decided to have a small gathering right after school. We rushed to the school cafeteria, bought our favorite snacks and drinks, found a corner and sat together, chatting about the upcoming examination. We shared our hopes and fears, and my friends offered me words of encouragement and support. They reminded me of all the times when we had studied together and how much I had improved over the years. We laughed and joked, trying to ease (缓解) the tension that was building up.
