原文呈现
THE TIME MACHINE(Adapted)
It was at ten o'clock today that the first of all Time Machines began its career.I gave it a last check,and sat myself in the leather seat.I pushed the starting lever on the main panel forwards an inch then immediately backwards again.Looking around,I saw my laboratory exactly as before.Had anything happened? I thought my mind had tricked me.Then I saw the clock.A moment before,it was a minute or so past ten; now it was nearly half past three!
I drew a breath,gripped the lever and pushed it forwards.The laboratory went hazy around me.My niece came in to fetch something,maybe her handkerchief,apparently without seeing me.It probably took her a minute,but to me she moved like a rocket! I pushed the lever further.Night came as if a lamp was being turned out,and in another moment came the day.Tomorrow night came,then skipped to day,again and again,faster and faster still.
It is hard to explain the strange and unpleasant feeling of time travelling.It felt like I was being driven fast on a winding road.As my pace grew faster,the walls of the laboratory fell away,and I was left in the open air.①The sun and moon looked as if they were being thrown across the sky,but soon there was division between night and day.Around me I saw trees growing like puffs of smoke;they grew,spread,and died in moments.I saw huge buildings rise up,then disappear like in a dream.The whole surface of the earth was being changed,melting and flowing before my eyes.I calculated that I was being pushed through time at hundreds of years a minute.
I had a strong urge to look at the random things that were being flashed before my eyes! I had thought about the risk of stopping the Time Machine many times.So long as I travelled at maximum speed,it didn't matter.②But if I stopped and the same space was being occupied by something else,we would be forced together and explode like a bomb! Like an impatient fool,I pulled the lever backwards hard.With a sudden jolt,the Time Machine was flipped on its side,and I was thrown through the air.
I was stunned for a moment,and then heard the sound of thunder.I was sitting in the rain in some mud next to the machine.“A fine welcome,” I said,“for a man who has travelled thousands of years to be here!”

A Debate on Artificial Intelligence
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Last Friday,our class held an English debate on the advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence.The speakers presented various points,such as AI's ability to process large amounts of data and its potential to replace human jobs.However,they also discussed the risks of AI,such as privacy concerns and the possibility of AI becoming uncontrollable.
In my opinion,while AI has its benefits,we must also be cautious and consider the potential consequences.It is important to continue researching and developing AI in a responsible and ethical manner.

(2023·湖北武汉5G联合体高二下期末)
Luz felt anxious as she walked to the front of the classroom.She and her best friend Lavonne had asked their science teacher,Ms.Ohanian,if she could speak to the class before it started.Ms.Ohanian had agreed to set aside a few minutes for her.
“Listen up,class,” Ms.Ohanian announced,“Luz wants to share something with us.”
Actually,Luz was shy and didn't want to talk about her difficulties using the school bathrooms.But her deskmate Lavonne encouraged her to speak out about it.Luz was very nervous,so she took a deep breath.
“Hi,everyone,” she began,“you know me from class,but you don't all know my whole story.I was in a car accident in the fourth grade,and as a result,my left arm doesn't really move anymore.”
Luz saw the whole class look at her arm.She hated feeling different from everyone else.She was painful,but she continued.
“It's hard for me to use the school bathrooms.The door is really heavy and only opens with a knob.My doctor told me that moving a knob can cause damage to my wrist,and advised me to look for rooms with handles—but there aren't any bathroom doors like that in our school.Plus,the soap dispensers (皂液瓶) in our bathrooms are the kind you need two moving hands for.So,” she said,“after school on Thursday,Lavonne and I are going to sit in the headmaster's office to ask for new doors,handles,and soap dispensers.We'd like you to join us.Um...thank you.”
“Well,can't you just ask for help when you use the bathroom?” a girl asked.
Luz didn't know what to say.She looked to Lavonne,silently asking her for help.
“Do you want to ask for help every time you wash your hands?” Lavonne asked.“The bathroom should be something everyone can use,without needing help for things people can usually do.”
As Luz sat down,a few kids applauded.She felt relieved,and smiled when classmates called out “Good job!” But she was still worried that nobody would show up for her on Thursday.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
When Luz and Lavonne arrived at the headmaster's office on Thursday afternoon,they were surprised.______________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Almost every classmate turned up around the office and some even brought friends! They held signs that said things like “Bathrooms Access Now” or pictures of single-hand push soap dispensers and doors with handle.At the sight of this,Luz's face brightened up with gratitude! Feeling encouraged and confident,Luz nodded her head determinedly and said to her classmates: “I'm really glad you are all here for me! Thank you all! Now I'm not alone and will definitely speak up for myself!”
Luz's face was red from smiling when the headmaster arrived. _________
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
He looked around and asked in puzzlement,“What's all this?” She looked at the headmaster and said firmly,“I'm Luz,and I'm here to talk about bathroom accessibility.” Then she told the headmaster her sad story and her appeals.The headmaster nodded now and then as he listened.Finally,he made a call and arranged for workers to solve the problems for the benefit of students like Luz in a day or two.As Luz and Lavonne walked out of the office,they were grinning ear to ear.They felt so excited,and so did all the other students.
