Dear Younger Me,
It's hard to believe we're nearing our senior years.While I hope we have 20 or 30 good
years ahead,it's time to think about some choices we regret.
I can't hold you responsible for decisions made before we turned 18.Our brains weren't
fully developed,and being the youngest child in the family made it hard to find independence.
We went against our parents.We got close to friends,but then again pushed them back.Yes,
there were secrets and lies,but that's part of growing up.
However,I think you should apologize for how you started our career ()You had
高一英语试题第3页共9页
always dreamed of being a reporter,but settled for editing work only because it was the easiest
thing to do in your field.Over time,you felt you didn't learn much,even though the pay was
good and working hours were pretty flexible.It wasn't until we changed to marketing that we
found a more satisfying path and met the love of our life.
We bought a lovely home in the city centre.But starting a family brought new challenges.
The responsibilities of parenting took over our job goals as we got caught up in our kids'
activities.And when the kids went to college,we faced an empty home and had to rediscover
who we were besides parents.It felt like a new stage of youth,where we were re-learning about
life without focusing on our kids.We found part-time jobs and meaningful volunteer work,
trying to stay connected while finding our own space.
Now,as we approach senior years,life feels peaceful.We've had ups and downs,from
losing our mom to watching our kids grow.So,younger me,let's pardon ourselves for past
mistakes.We can't move forward until we make peace with our past.Hopefully,our best days
are still ahead.
The Senior Me

Sports fans use their clothes and colors to show how much they love their team."This
behavior has much to do with honour,"said Jonathan Jensen,professor at the University of
North Carolina.He and his colleagues found if a student's football team won a game,it doubled
the chance of the student wearing the team's clothes,while a loss greatly reduced the possibility
of wearing team clothes by more than half.
Winning or losing not only changes how fans dress,but also how they talk about their
connection with the team to show whose side they are on.Andrew Billings,director at the
University of Alabama,used machine learning to analyze()more than 7,000 social media
posts during a major sporting event.They found that fans increased the use of first-person
高一英语试题第4页共9页
pronouns,saying how "we"won the day when their team scored or won.By comparison,the
fans talked about how"they"did not perform well when their team was behind or lost.
This behavior of fans shows how strongly they feel connected to their teams.Taking part
in these shared experiences provides them with more opportunities to socialize,which can
strengthen their relationships with others.As Jensen said,"When you interact()with
people,you feel more connected with them,and you also benefit from better mental health and
are more likely to stay involved(投入).”
However,there are potential drawbacks of becoming too involved in a sports team,
especially when your connection with the team becomes stronger than the people around you.
"We've heard cases where people have missed their son's or daughter's wedding because it was
happening during an Alabama football game,"Billings said."Sometimes when you put too
many eggs in the sports basket,you are leaving your mood up to athletes or teams that you have
no control over."
28.What may a student post online for his team's success according to paragraph 2?
A.They are all the best!
B.Look at our cute players.
C.She could have done better!
D.He is definitely a handsome guy.
29.What can we learn about being sports fans according to paragraph 3?
A.It harms their mental health.
B.It strengthens their sports skills.
C.It influences their family relationships.
D.It encourages their social connection.
30.What does the underlined word"drawbacks"in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Differences.
B.Benefits.
C.Disadvantages.
D.Responsibilities.
31.What is Billings's attitude to over-involvement in a sports team?
A.Negative.
B.Confused.
C.Supportive.
D.Uncertain.

Whale communication has long been a puzzle for scientists,with their underwater sound
-"click...click...click"-remaining largely unexplained.However,thanks to the surprising
abilities of artificial intelligence(AD),researchers from a program can interpret the sounds of
these amazing sea animals.
The program is called the Whale Translation Project(WTP),whose meaning is to know
what whales are saying.Its goal is clear but very difficult to achieve.Understanding the
communication of whales and other animals could inspire conservation (efforts.For
example,the discovery that humpback whales sing to each other in the 1960s led to successful
conservation activities and laws.
The WTP started when Gruber,a biologist at Harvard University,turned to a computer
scientist for help about dealing with a large amount of data on whale sounds.They thought of
applying machine learning,used for improving human language translations,to whales.The
sound of click,similar to a binary code(二进制),is easy for AI to analyze.
高一英语试题第5页共9页
Scientists once presented the sounds of a whale using a series of lines to show the number
of cliks per second.Now,with the help of Al,Gruber cn quicklytu the thousands of whale
sounds from hours ofordings intoa new kind of pictures that look like musicl ote.This
method helps to find tiny differences in the sounds.Gruber can use AI toanalyze the differences
and the specific context,like the behavior of moving to the surface and hunting for food,and
thus understand the meaning of the whale sound easily.He can also discover how whales
interact,getting 9%right in predicting (the next click.
This kind of work isn't limited to whales.Suresh Neethirajan,a computer science and
agriculture professor,studies how farmers can use real-time observation to explain animal
behaviors.He collects data,such as body temperature,paired with recorded sounds and videos,
to understand whether animals are comfortable or not.With AI,he can recognise sick animals
quickly,improving their well-being.
32.What is the purpose of mentioning the discovery in the 1960s?
A.To show the success of protecting the environment.
B.To explain the difficulty of saving humpback whales.
C.To stress the value of studying animal communication.
D.To introduce the challenge of understanding whale language.
33.How can AI help according to paragraph 4?
A.It records whale sound quickly.
B.It processes sound data effectively.
C.It reads musical notes correctly.
D.It promotes whale interactions directly.
34.What can we learn about AI according to the last paragraph?
A.It cures diseases of animals.
B.It improves farmers'well-being.
C.It aims to change animal behavior.
D.It helps to understand animals'needs
35.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Scientists develop machine learning.
B.Scientists discover a new whale sound.
C.AI creates a unique type of musical note.
D.AI unlocks the secrets of animal language.

When applying to college,most students'goal is to "stand out."Some believe a
beautifully-written essay will make them so,while others think a long activity list will give
高一英语试题第6页共9页
them an advantage.36 But one of the best ways is to show how you are a person that
can make impact inside and outside of the classroom.
Don't know where to start?37 Take part in group discussions,ask and answer
questions,and turn to your teachers for help if you need it.By being a thoughtful and curious
student,you can help shape an in-class environment which other students are excited to join in.
And for off-class activities,start by recognising your interest.38 Joining a club,
volunteering,or taking part in other activities of your interest is the first step towards making an
impact.On top of that,take action.39 And don't be afraid to seek out solutions.For
example,if you feel some club policies could be improved,find the right way to share your
thoughts and offer useful suggestions to achieve the results you desire.
A soldier who does not want to be a general (is not considered a good
soldier.40 Taking on a leadership role in after-class activities is one of the most
effective ways to create that impact.By becoming a leader in a club,you not only show your
organizational skills and personal charm to college admission officers,but also build
meaningful connections,inspiring your members to work toward a better future.
A.Do speak up if you notice a problem.
B.Truly,these are all important elements.
C.Otherwise,others might get a head start.
