Lewis, 74, began working at the Dorset resort when he was 16. “It’s the best job in the world,” he said. “You’re working and helping people. What could be better?” His colleagues were just half his age. But he is still fighting fit. Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeguards must complete a 400m pool swim in under 7.5 minutes. They have to do a 25m pool swim underwater and a 25-metre surface swim consecutively in under 50 seconds and run 200m along the beach in under 40 seconds. The tests are still reasonably comfortable for Lewis. All winter he has been doing 3,000 metres of sea swimming each month. Lewis’s adventure began in 1965 when a police officer spotted that he was a keen swimmer and suggested he get his lifesaving badges. The following year he began volunteering as a lifeguard at the age of 16. Then he became part of the RNLI lifeguards in 2001 and began providing beach patrols for local authorities. Now the RNLI patrols more than 240 beaches across the UK. Lewis laughed when asked if he had seen many changes. “The RNLI’s equipment in 2024 includes jetskis, rescue boats and quad bikes. When I started, we had a T-shirt, swimming trunks, a swimming hat, a coat if you were lucky and a rescue tube. It was really very different.” His most memorable rescue took place in 2010 when three children got into trouble while swimming. There was a combination of wind and a lively spring tide. One of them was being hurled into a rock with severe cuts. The other two were being “knocked around” by the waves. Lewis swam out just with a rescue tube but managed to get all three back. Over the years, he has performed hundreds of rescues. He says giving advice that prevents people getting into trouble is preferable to carrying out rescues. “I would love to go through the whole of summer without having to rescue anybody.” 4. Why is the training of RNLI mentioned? A. To explain the importance of swimming skills. B. To stress Lewis’s efforts and capacity. C. To show demands of being a safeguard. D. To describe the test process of fitness swimming 5. What made Lewis begin his life-saving career? A. His voluntary experience. B. His passion for swimming. C. An invitation from RNLI. D. A police officer’s suggestion. 6. What can be inferred from Lewis’s words in Paragraph 4? A. RNLI cares for the safety of lifeguards. B. RNLI currently needs more lifeguards. C. Lifeguard work was not easy in the past. D. The former lifeguards were more skilled. 7. Which of the following best describes Lewis? A. Devoted and caring. B. Selfless and honest. C. Determined and humorous. D. Generous and ambitious. C Until the 1990s coffee was rarely served in China except at luxury hotels aimed at foreigners. When Starbucks opened its first outlet there in 1999, it was far from clear that the country’s avid tea-drinkers would take to such a different-and usually more costly- source of caffeine. Starbucks tried to attract customers unused to coffee’s bitter taste by promoting milk and sugar-heavy concoctions(调和) such as Frappuccinos. But coffee has become fashionable among the middle class in China. Starbucks now has about 3, 800 outlets in China- more than in any other country outside America. Statista, a business-intelligence portal(门户网站), says the roast coffee market in China is growing by more than 10 % a year. Starbucks and its rivals see big opportunities for expanding there. So too, however, do home-grown competitors. A major new presence is Luckin Coffee, Beijing- based chain. Since its founding less than two years ago, it has opened more than 2,300 outlets. On May 17th Luckin’s initial public offering on the Nasdaq stockmarket raised more than $570m, giving it a value of about $4bn. Luckin’s remarkable growth is sign of change. No longer do Chinese consumers see coffee as such a luxury. Most of Luckin’s outlets are merely kiosks where busy white-collar workers pick up their drinks, having ordered them online. Super-fast delivery can also be arranged through the company’s app. Independent coffee shops are springing up. The growth is striking given the country’s reputation for its tea-drinking culture where many residents like to relax in teahouses sipping tea served gracefully. But the two markets are different. The teahouses tend to cater to older people who like to spend long hours playing mahjong and gossiping. At the coffee shops it is rare to see anyone over 40. Young people use them for socialising, but much of their interaction is online -sharing photos of their drinks and of the coffee-making equipment. An option on the Chinese rating app Dianping allows users to search for wanghong ("internet viral") coffee houses: ones with particularly photogenic decor(照片装饰) where better to sip and We Chat? 8. How did Starbucks try to appeal to Chinese consumers? A. By reducing the price slightly. B. By introducing the benefits of coffee. C. By making coffee taste not so bitter. D. By promoting its products effectively. 9. What does Luckin Coffee’s growth suggest? A. People tend to like coffee’s bitter taste. B. People’s views on coffee-drinking have changed. C. People in China can afford coffee now. D. Tea is no longer part of Chinese culture. 10. What does the underlined word “kiosks” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Places where people can drink beer. B Restaurants where food can be taken away. C. Shops aimed at people who like drinking coffee. D. Small shops or stores where newspapers and drinks are sold. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Coffee is taking off in China. B. Tea-drinking is not popular. C. Coffee or tea, which do you prefer? D. Coffee has become people’s favorite in China. D If all the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players, where does that leave non-human figures, like artificial intelligence chatbots? As it turns out, AI can hold its own against humans when it comes to writing poetry. AI chatbots can imitate famous poets like William Shakespeare well enough to fool many human readers, according to a new paper published Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports. In addition, many study participants actually preferred the chatbot’s poetry over the works of well-known writers. In an experiment, researchers asked a group of participants to read and rate poems on 14 qualities, ranging from rhythm (韵律) to originality. The participants were given a mix of poems written by humans and by AI, and the scientists didn’t share anything about the poems’ authorship. The team uncovered a surprise: The participants who didn’t know anything about the poems’ origins gave higher ratings, on average, to those written by the chatbot. Why do readers seem to prefer AI-generated poetry? It’s not entirely clear, but part of guess is that they are relatively straightforward and simple to comprehend. Understanding poems written by humans requires deep, critical thinking — and that’s a big part of poetry’s appeal. But modern readers don’t seem to want to do this labor, preferring texts that give them “instant answers”. The study’s findings seem to confirm (证实) some fears about AI, which is that they’ll one day replace human artists and put them out of work. But Dorothea Lasky, the only living poet whose writings were included in the experiments, says it’s not necessarily a bad thing that readers enjoyed the AI-generated poems. “Poetry will always be necessary,” Lasky tells the Washington Post. “If these people in the study read AI poems and liked that poem better than a human-generated poem, then that, to me, is beautiful. They had a good experience with a poem, and I don’t care who wrote it. I feel there is room for all poets — even robot poets.” 12. What is the main idea of paragraph 1? A. AI is a player on the world stage. B. AI performs well in poetry writing. C. AI is so playful that it fools the readers. D. AI works well together with all humans. 13. What were participants asked to do with the given poems in the experiment? A. Identify their authors. B. Discuss their meanings. C. Grade them from different aspects. D. Compare them with their own poems. 14. What is a feature of AI-generated poems according to paragraph 3? A. They promote critical thinking. B. They widen readers’ views. C. They require immediate feedback. D. They are easy to understand. 15. What’s Lasky’s attitude towards AI-generated poems? A. Doubtful. B. Welcoming. C. Passionate. D. Indifferent. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Youngsters usually benefit from having a relationship with someone older and wiser to mentor（指导） them.

I pressed my nose against the car window and wondered what he would be like. Would he shake hands, roll over and run after little animals in the woods? Each passing fence post drew me nearer to my dream dog. As our family walked into the kennel, among the chaos and noise, silence caught my eye. He was sitting quietly and confidently in a corner cage. When I approached, he lifted one of his feet between the bars, and I touched it carefully. A handwritten sign at the top of his cage read, “Shepherd (牧羊犬)”. Ten minutes later, he was sitting in the back seat of our car. “His name is Fritz,” my mother announced that night as we put a dog collar around his neck with our phone number and his name on it. Fritz adjusted quickly to life in his new home. Whenever guests arrived, he would run out to greet them. When we took our afternoon walks, he was a cheerful companion. The highlight of his day was when I came back, racing through the front door after school. He would slide through the entryway and then jump into my arms as if he had just won a great prize. One Friday afternoon, my father declared that we were going out for the night. Each year we took a journey across the mountains to his hometown of Knoxville, Kentucky, for a day of sightseeing. As we loaded up the car, my father told me that the hotel where we would be staying did not allow dogs in. Therefore, Fritz wasn’t going with us. As our car pulled away, Fritz watched from the edge of the yard with his tail waving quickly, as if to say, “Why are you leaving me alone?” Anyway, we set out. The next day when we came back home, it was already 6 pm. 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。 Paragraph l: Night fell, but there was no sign of Fritz. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Two weeks later, a call from a man brought us the great news. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 第二部分:阅读理解（共两节,满分50分） 第一节（共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分） 1-3 CAB 4-7 BDCA 8-11 CBDA 12-15 BCDB 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 16.

Each shake of the head drove me to despair. “Please, bring Fritz home safe,” I wished lying in bed that night. But a week passed without him. Each afternoon I would rush out of school and run all the way home to ask if there was any news of Fritz. But when I burst through the door and into the house, I would be greeted only by silence and my mother’s sad smile. Two weeks later, a call from a man brought us the great news. The man found the hungry and weak Fritz on the street and later got our phone number from the tag on him. Immediately, my father and I were on the way to fetching Fritz. The moment I climbed out of the car, Fritz ran toward me like a wild pig. He slipped and quickly got up and slipped again before he regained his balance and jumped into my arms. I held him tightly as he licked my face. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
