She inched toward Ms. Pelt, looking for some signs of approval. Initially hesitant, Ms. Pelt instinctively stepped back. I assured her that Scout just wanted to say hello. Gradually, her stiff posture softened. Scout moved cautiously forward and gently laid her head on Ms. Pelt’s lap, nuzzling her warmly. In the dim light, I could vaguely make out Ms. Pelt stroking Scout’s head and neck. And that was all it took. Love at first nuzzle. For the next few days, every time we were on a walk, Scout eagerly led me to Imogene’s porch, where Ms. Pelt would play with her and offer treats. One day, I couldn’t find Scout, but I had an idea where to look. A quick check confirmed my guess — Scout was comfortably sitting on the porch swing beside Ms. Pelt. As I approached, Imogene laughed, saying they were having a great time. As time went by, the once ill-tempered woman gradually transformed into someone kind and approachable. When neighbors pass by, exchanging greetings with Imogene, she will return their kind words with ones of her own. And Scout? She is what she has always been: a lover, a forgiver, an extender of unconditional love to anyone with a kind word, a warm heart and a gentle stroke of the hand, changing the world one nuzzle at a time. 听力原文 Text 1 W: What are you up to this weekend? 英语答案 第 2 页 共 7 页 M: I’m not sure. I was going camping, but according to the forecast, we’re in for a rather wet and windy weekend! W: What a shame! Why do we only ever seem to get weather like this when we’re stuck inside working? (1) Text 2 W: I’ve had this terrible headache since last night. I need to lie in bed, but I don’t want to miss out on your sister’s poetry reading today. M: Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll broadcast live on social media, so you can still watch it. (2) Text 3 W: I really enjoyed that Mexican meal last night with your old college friends. They’re so funny! M: That’s good. They’ve invited us to a reunion party next month. It’s at that new Italian restaurant we went to four weeks ago. W: It was French! (3) Text 4 M: Come in. I just want to tell you how pleased we are with your achievements. I knew we had the right candidate when we interviewed you back in March. W: Thank you, this is such a great company to work for. All my friends are glad for me! (4) Text 5 M: Could your parents look after our dogs when we go on a business trip? W: They’d love to, but they’re on holiday that week. I’ve also asked my sister and her daughter has offered to care for them. (5) M: Perfect! Text 6 M: I always love watching musicals, but this one is a bit rubbish — they just keep screaming. (6) W: This isn’t a musical; it’s an absolute classic opera called The Marriage of Figaro, by the famous Austrian composer Mozart! And they’re not screaming; they are singing! It’s excellent! M: I think that’s a matter of opinion. W: Listen, this night out is something I’ve been looking forward to for weeks. It’s my birthday present, remember? So, I want you to sit back and give it a chance, okay? M: All right. I’m hungry, and I need to get a hamburger once this is finished. (7) W: Fine! Text 7 W: Simon! Over here! M: Hi Sarah. W: I can’t believe you actually made it to Biarritz! You cycled all the way from England to the south of France! You must be so tired! It took long enough even by plane! M: Well, I didn’t do it all in one go! W: How far have you cycled altogether? M: Well, I started off in Cardiff, where I live in Wales, and then cycled about 217 miles to Dover in the south of England. (9) W: Oh, so you started in Wales, not England? M: That’s right. Then I caught a boat to Calais in northern France. From there, I’ve clocked up about another 510 miles to get here. It’s taken me a few weeks to stay in different camps and hotels. W: And you’re staying at our hotel tonight? M: Yes, before continuing to San Sebastián in Spain tomorrow. (10) Text 8 英语答案 第 3 页 共 7 页 M: Hello, you’ve got through to Radio Wonders, (11) how may I help you? W: Hi, I’m looking to buy my son a radio-controlled vehicle for his birthday and a friend of mine said your company came highly recommended. I’ve looked on your website and it said to call for the latest offers. (11) M: Okay, what kind of vehicle are you looking for? (12) W: I think he’d like a plane. (12) M: I take it that your son has never flown one before? W: His uncle has one, but I don’t think my son’s ever taken hold of the controls. M: In that case, he’d probably be better off with one of our “beginner” models. They are strong and designed to not fall apart on the first flight if things go wrong! W: How much are they? M: We’ve got a Spitfire on offer for $360 at the minute, or if you prefer something a little faster, there’s the Carbon Cub for $600. If you buy today, both models have a further fifty percent discount. (13) Text 9 M: Please welcome Jade Green to the studio, (16) everybody. Jade is a writer and model who recently had her first book published called Anyone Can. (15) Jade, tell us a bit about your book. W: Thanks for having me. Anyone Can is simply a book about my life as a fashion model, and its basic message is that anyone can do anything and achieve any dream. M: Yes, it really shines a light on the modeling business. (15) Could you tell our listeners why your journey was slightly different to other models? W: Sure. If I ask you to picture a model in your head, you will probably see someone who is thin, good-looking with great skin, and all that stuff. Well, I’m not like that. I’m a size 16, which is typically associated with a person who is overweight. M: And yet you have been very successful as a fashion model. (15) Why is that? W: Society has a very idealized vision of what we should all look like. There is always pressure for us all to look beautiful, especially on social media. But, in reality, we come in a variety of different shapes, sizes, and looks. I’m just a regular girl and I think that’s why people can relate to me. (16) M: After the advertisement break, Jade will be reading a chapter from her book and answering your calls. (17) Text 10 Hi, my name’s Tim Peake. Back in 2015, I made history by becoming the first official British astronaut to go into space when I visited the International Space Station. It all started with the breathtaking launch! (18) After six years of training, I’ve dealt with all the fear! The power of the rockets was incredible! Space starts at 100 km above Earth, and in just eight minutes and 48 seconds, we’d reached 200 km! From there, we went into an orbit around Earth. Everything went quiet, and that’s when I first experienced weightlessness! It took another six hours to reach the ISS, which is 400 km above Earth. Looking down on Earth, (19) there were lots of blues and greens of land and oceans, but also the oranges and yellows of the deserts. (19) I could make out glaciers, mountain ranges, and even volcanoes! When it’s daytime on Earth, there’s no sign of humans, but at night the planet glows with the lights of all the cities. The ISS moves around the Earth every 92 minutes! At one point during the mission, I wanted to take some photos of the UK with the camera. We were over Brazil at the time, so I went for my lunch. When I came back, I’d missed Europe completely and was over China! (20) It was an incredible experience. 英语答案 第 4 页 共 7 页 详细解析 第二部分 阅读 第一节 A 语篇类型：应用文 主题语境：人与社会 文章大意：塞浦路斯冬季阳光假期全包式度假套餐信息推广。 21.

Unless you're a regular on TikTok,you may have missed these stories.But they were some of the most widely viewed and shared in the New England news market last year-and they were all brought to life by reporter Matt Shearer,WBZ NewsRadio's unlikely internet star. Shearer,37,has amassed millions of views online for the more than 103-year-old station on TikTok and Instagram.His account,@reportermatt,has over 83,000 followers on Instagram,and @wbznewsradio has north of 200,000 on TikTok.Since he started at the station in 2020,Shearer has stood out not only for chasing the odd stories of New England but for finding viral success among the lighter fare that populates social media.

Meacham-Hensold and her colleagues at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign had engineered the potato to overcome a major limitation in plant biology:a wasteful,heat-triggered process called photorespiration ()This occurs when RuBisCO,a key photosynthesis enzyme (光合作用酶)，accidentally captures oxygen instead of carbon dioxide,creating an unwanted by- product.This error becomes more frequent at high temperatures,gobblng up energy that would otherwise contribute to growth and potentially reducing crop yields by up to 50 percent. To solve this problem,the team introduced a new gene that produced a protein capable of breaking down the unwanted by-product inside the cells'photosynthesis centers.As a result,the plant didn't need to process or transport the by-product elsewhere.This saved energy,similar to how eating local food saves the energy of trucking it across the country. The results are exciting,says biochemist Edward Smith of the University of Oxford,although he'd like to see data from future growing seasons. The new technique could help crops adapt to climate change.Similar strategies have been used previously in rice,but this study is the first to show that it doesn't cause a decrease in a food crop's nutritional quality.Meacham-Hensold and her team froze and ground up the tubers to measure their fiber,sugars,protein,calcium,iron,and vitamins. Next the researchers are working on soybeans and cowpeas;the latter is"a hugely important food-security crop in African countries,"Meacham-Hensold says.A high-yield soybean variety with 高二英语试题第5页（共12页） 扫描全能王创建 回宾 the same genetic change will hit the field this year. 28.How did Meacham-Hensold initially feel when the heat wave hit?

D Two years after ChatGPT took the world by storm,generative artificial intelligence seems to have hit a roadblock.The energy costs of buiding and using bigger models are rocketing,and breakthroughs are getting harder.Fortunately,researchers and entrepreneurs are racing for ways around the limits.Their ingenuity will not just transform AI.It will determine which firms dominate and whether investors win. Large language models have a keen appetite for electricity.By one estimate,the energy used to train OpenAI's GPT-4 model could have powered 50 American homes for a century.If so,it is hard to see how generative AI could ever become economically workable.This is frightening for investors, for they have bet big on Al. There is no need to panic.Many other technologies have faced limits and gone on to prosper thanks to human ingenuity.The difficulty of getting people into space led to innovations that are now used on Earth.Already,developments in AI are showing how limits can stimulate creativity. Companies like Meta and Microsoft are developing chips especially for the operations needed to run large language models.Developers are also making changes to Al software.Bigger models that rely on the computational power are giving way to smaller and more specialised systems. Investors have become used to the idea that among tech companies,the dominant has a natural advantage.For Al,that assumption can no longer be taken for granted.Nvidia sells four-fifths of the world's AI chips.But other more specialised rivals could well eat into its share.Alreacy Google's Al processors are the third-most-used in data centres worldwide.OpenAl may have launched the pioneering large language model. This means that investors are in for a rocky ride.Their bets on today's leaders look less certain. Nvidia could lose ground to other chipmakers;OpenAl could be replaced.Competition among tech companies is fierce.Few firms yet have a strategy for turning a profit from generative Al.Even if the industry does end up belonging to one winner,it is not clear who that will be. 高二英语试题第6页（共12页） 扫描全能王创建 32.What is a restricting factor for the development of generative artificial intelligence?
