I’m pleased to announce the winners of this year’s King and Queen of the Senior Class.First,the queen,Camille Smith has been a straight-A student ever since she joined Freeman High School.But she is much more than just a good student.She started the community service club.The club matches students with local causes that they care about.She will leave a lasting impression when she heads for Harvard in the fall.Next,we have Stan Brooks,our Senior Class King.Stan started the garden program here at Freeman.When the project began,we had a tiny area of dirt and only a few flowers.Now,we’ve got a dozen kinds of fruits and vegetables growing at any one time,and we grow food all year round.The garden program is a great way for students to explore a different kind of learning.They did projects about how to protect nature and came up with plans for how not to waste any food.With Stan’s help,this school has become more beautiful and more involved with others.He’s still trying to choose between Stanford and Yale,but we’ll miss him wherever he goes.Let’s wish our King and Queen the best of luck as they finish the school year strong!

“I was dead for 67 minutes.It’s a miracle that I’m here today.” Those are the words of Bruce Richardson,who survived a cardiac arrest(心脏骤停) in July 2016 thanks to the quick actions of his friends and the first responders who refused to give up.
It was an early summer morning,a typical Saturday.Bruce volunteered as usual in the community center.“I had no symptoms that there was any problem.It was a completely normal morning;I felt fine,” he shared.“I was visiting with friends.Then,I passed out.What happened next I know from what others have told me.”
Bruce’s friend,Jack,had learned how to perform CPR,and he quickly began chest compressions.Another friend,Doug,dialed 911 and the operator talked him through compressions until first responders arrived.Once the ambulance arrived,the paramedics tried five times to restart Bruce’s heart with an AED.By this time,Bruce had been without a heartbeat for over 30 minutes,often when time of death is called.On the phone with an emergency room doctor,one of the paramedics was instructed to try two AEDs simultaneously(同时).It worked;Bruce’s heart began to beat again.Incredibly,he awoke the next day and was able to communicate.After a week,Bruce made a full recovery and left the hospital.
Since Bruce’s cardiac arrest,he has since been able to resume a normal life with some differences.He now is a passionate CPR advocate.He has shared his story in the news,and last year he was a guest speaker at the Association’s Indianapolis Heart & Stroke Ball to encourage people to spread the message of CPR.Finally,Bruce shared his story in a video now being used to promote American Heart Association Hands-Only CPR kiosks installed around the country.

AI is a machine’s ability to perform the cognitive(认知的) functions we associate with human minds,such as reasoning,learning,interacting with an environment,problem-solving,and even exercising creativity.You’ve probably interacted with AI even if you didn’t realize it—voice assistants are founded on AI technology,as are some customer service chatbots that pop up to aid you to explore websites.
By using artificial intelligence,companies have the potential to make business more efficient and profitable.But ultimately,the value of artificial intelligence isn’t in the systems themselves but in how companies use those systems to assist humans—and their ability to explain what those systems do—in a way that builds and earns trust.
Since they are so new,we have yet to see the long-tail effect of AI models.This means there are some risks involved in using them—some known and some unknown.
The outputs AI models produce may often sound extremely convincing.This is by design.But sometimes the information they generate is just plain wrong.Worse,sometimes it’s biased,because it’s built on the gender,racial,and various other limitations of the Internet and society more generally.And it can even be operated to enable immoral or criminal activity.
These risks can be reduced,however,in a few ways.For one,it’s crucial to carefully select the initial data used to train these models to avoid including toxic(有毒的) or incorrect content.Next,rather than operating an off-the-shelf generative AI model,organizations could consider using smaller,specialized models.Organizations with more resources could also customize a general model based on their own data to fit their needs and minimize shortcomings.Organizations should also keep a human in the process—make sure a real human checks the output of a generative AI model before it is published or used,and avoid using generative AI models for critical decisions,such as those involving significant resources or human welfare.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能的相关内容以及其可能带来的风险,并就如何降低风险给出一定建议。

答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“But ultimately,the value of artificial intelligence isn’t in the systems themselves but in how companies use those systems to assist humans”可知,人工智能的价值在于公司如何使用这些系统来帮助人类。故选A。
29.What does the underlined word “biased” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Unclear. B.Unimportant.
C.Unreliable. D.Unusual.

Still,only 30 percent attended a concert of any type;23 percent visited an art museum;six percent attended a literary event.Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.
What has caused this phenomenon is that we do not have time for art—we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities.Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work but most of us rarely,if ever,went to see a live performance,let alone visited a gallery.And reading poetry? Perhaps not since high school.
Too often,we let the realities of life get in the way of the arts,which can feel insignificant by comparison.But this is a mistake.The arts might be the single most in-depth experience you will ever be given to explore the nature and meaning of life.And if you make time to consume and produce art,you will find your life become fuller and happier.
Some philosophers address the problem of life consumed by work and material pursuits.They argue that art provides relief from this routine,expanding our perspective and bringing us closer to true reality.
Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry.Or recall your fast heartbeats as you stared at a delicate lifelike sculpture.Chances are that it probably stimulated(刺激) a sudden awakening,much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.
If you are among those who feel that art is “pure pleasure to experience and participate in”,you might see it the same way you see eating out,or skydiving:as a luxury(奢侈的) item in your limited budgets of time and money.As such,it probably gets the same sort of treatment as any minor hobby.Don’t make this error.Treat art more like exercise or sleep:a necessity for a life full of deep satisfaction.

第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If someone offered you a marshmallow(棉花糖) now,but promised you two marshmallows if you waited for 15 minutes,what would you do? There’s always the chance you don’t like marshmallows. 36 Would you prefer to snack on one right away,or remain patient enough to double your treat?
The Stanford Marshmallow Experiment,conducted over 20 years ago,presented this choice to a group of children between the ages of 3 and 6.At first,the experiment didn’t gain much attention.But about 10 years later,the researchers followed up with the participants and discovered something interesting.Some of the kids who had chosen to wait for 15 minutes were doing better on tests. 37
While some scientists believe there is no connection,others believe patience made the difference. 38 That extra patience helped students in other parts of their lives too,like studying and learning.Further experiments involving different snacks have yielded similar results.
If,when you first started reading this,you thought you would rather eat your snack right away,that’s OK. 39 Experts emphasize that patience is a skill that can be developed and strengthened.Dr.Parker Huston,a psychologist,suggests individuals can cultivate patience by identifying the sources of frustration in their lives and preparing for those moments.When faced with frustrating situations,you can take deep breaths and count backwards from ten to one.
40 Regardless of whether you choose to eat the marshmallow immediately or wait,the key is to maintain an open mind and learn to practice patience.No matter where your future takes you,patience can help you get there.
A.But let’s say you love them.
B.Let’s return to the marshmallow.
C.It doesn’t suggest you are meant to succeed.
D.Does patience help you plan ahead for your future?
E.The students who waited for the extra treat were more patient.
F.The good news is that we can all learn how to be more patient.
G.Could there be a connection between waiting and future success?
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍一项棉花糖实验来告诉我们要保持开放的心态,学会养成耐心的习惯。
36.答案 A
解析 上文提到有可能你不喜欢棉花糖,下文则继续问你会如何选择,可知设空处说的是如果你喜欢棉花糖,以此来紧密连接下文的你会如何选择的问题,A选项“但是假设你喜欢它们”符合语境,故选A。
37.答案 G
解析 上文提到等了十五分钟的孩子后来表现更好,下文是科学家对耐心的作用的不同看法,可推测设空处应该是关于耐心和成功是否有关系的,G选项符合题意,起到承上启下的作用,故选G。
38.答案 E
解析 下文“That extra patience helped students in other parts of their lives too,like studying and learning.”中的“That extra patience”和E选项“等待额外奖励的学生更有耐心”中的“more patient”相呼应,故E选项符合语境,故选E。
39.答案 F
解析 根据上文“If,when you first started reading this,you thought you would rather eat your snack right away,that’s OK.”可知,设空处是解释为什么这样做也没关系的,F选项符合题意,并且紧扣下文“Experts emphasize that patience is a skill that can be developed and strengthened.”。故选F。
40.答案 B
解析 根据下文“Regardless of whether you choose to eat the marshmallow immediately or wait,the key is to maintain an open mind and learn to practice patience.”可知,本段的主题又回到了棉花糖的问题上,B选项“让我们回到棉花糖上”符合语意,故选B。

第二节 (共10 小题;每小题1.5 分,满分 15 分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Located in the Beixiangfeng Hutong nearby Qianmen Avenue,the over 20-year-old restaurant truly explains the old saying “good wine needs no bush”.Liqun Roast Duck 56.________ (receive) many foreign leaders,57. can be seen from photos in the restaurant.
In the hole-in-the-wall restaurant,group photos of chefs and foreign leaders 58.___________ (hang) on the walls on both sides of a narrow passage.After turning left and then right along the passage,you will arrive at a modest quadrangle(方院) with 59. (elegance) rooms for guests 60. (enjoy) meals.As there’s no table 61. (reserve) in advance,you can choose your seat at will.
Roast duck is of course the must-order dish,and mixed vegetable salad can help to cleanse 62.__________ smell of duck meat.In a short ten minutes after your order has been taken,well-sliced roast duck will be presented on your table.Pancakes are offered with moderate thickness,soybean paste(甜酱) is fragrant but not too sweet,63. duck meat is fat but not greasy(油腻的),with crisp skins.
However,duck feet with mustard shall be one of the most surprising 64.___________ (dish).The duck feet are put in vinegar beforehand,with bones removed.With mustard,it tastes fresh and flavored 65. (especial) in the summer.
56.答案 has received
解析 考查时态和主谓一致。结合句意,表示从过去一直持续到现在的动作,应使用现在完成时态,又因主语是专有名词,谓语动词应使用单数形式。故填has received。
57.答案 which
解析 考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个句子,“利群烤鸭店接待过许多外国领导人”这件事情在定语从句中作主语,应使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
58.答案 are hung
解析 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。hang(挂)是句中谓语动词,与主语photos之间是被动关系,故用被动语态,描述目前的情况,应使用一般现在时态,又因主语是复数名词,所以be动词用are。故填are hung。
59.答案 elegant
解析 考查形容词。空处作定语修饰名词rooms,用形容词elegant,其意为“优雅的”。故填elegant。
60.答案 to enjoy
解析 考查非谓语动词。“for guests (enjoy) meals”作后置定语修饰名词rooms,enjoy是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语guests之间是主动关系,用不定式to enjoy与for guests构成不定式复合结构。故填to enjoy。
61.答案 reserved
解析 考查非谓语动词。“ (reserve) in advance”作后置定语修饰名词table,与其逻辑主语table之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填reserved。
62.答案 the
解析 考查冠词。根据句意,此处特指“鸭肉的气味”,故用定冠词修饰。故填the。
63.答案 and
解析 考查连词。根据句意,“饼厚度适中”、“酱香而不过分甜”和“鸭肉肥而不腻”是并列关系,应用连词and连接几个分句。故填and。
64.答案 dishes
解析 考查名词复数。“one of+名词复数”是固定短语,意为“……之一”。故填dishes。
65.答案 especially
解析 考查副词。此处作状语修饰形容词flavored,应用副词形式。故填especially。

第二节 (满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I started reading to myself,as well as out loud to Mother and other family members,between the ages of three and four.By the time I turned five,I was reading “chapter books”,like The Bobbsey Twins.I read whenever books came my way,usually by my mother taking me to the town’s small but book-packed library on Saturdays.Along my journey as a reader,there were other helping hands that develop my love for books—Mrs Eleanor Harrison,my first-grade teacher.
When I started first grade,making friends became a challenge for me.My rich vocabulary made me easy to be labeled as a bookworm(书呆子),causing other children to shy away from playing with me.My mother explained that there would be “stuff” I already knew while others didn’t.Reading was one such skill—I could read while none of my classmates were able to.Therefore,when we moved to a new city,and I found myself in a new school,I decided to pretend that I didn’t know many words either,just to fit in.
On the first day of school,my mother walked me there and introduced herself to Mrs Harrison,my new teacher.After that,I walked to school and back home by myself.However,around a month later,something significant happened.One afternoon,when I came home from school,my mother told me that my teacher,Mrs Harrison,had called and wanted to have a meeting with her.I immediately asked if I was in trouble since I had only heard of teachers calling parents when there was an issue.
“She didn’t say so,” responded Mother,as thoughts raced through my mind.“She said she wanted to talk to me about you.” Mother pulled me to her—one of her healing hugs.I trusted my mother.I knew she loved me.I blurted out,“So,you think this will have a ‘happily ever after’ ending?” Mother kissed me on the top of my head,just as she often did,and smiled,saying,“Yes.I’m sure it will be alright.”
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
The day of the meeting came.
“I like that idea!” Firmly,I nodded a yes.
参考范文
The day of the meeting came.Mrs Harrison told my mother that she noticed I was a very special child.In the course of class,my reading speed was very fast and understanding ability was relatively strong,which suggested my knowledge was very wide.She could see that there were many books I should be reading.But she found out I was hiding some of my abilities.Recently,the school wanted to hold a school reading festival,and wanted to find several student representatives to speak on stage,to tell about their reading experience and introduce the benefits of reading.My mother also introduced my actual situation to Mrs Harrison,and gladly accepted the task.When she got home,she told me the news immediately.
“I like that idea!” Firmly,I nodded a yes.My mother and I began to actively prepare my speech,the title of which was the reading story of a little bookworm.In my speech,I introduced that I had been fond of reading since childhood,and reading enriched my vocabulary,my thoughts,and made me have a broader knowledge and vision.I hoped that I could continue to maintain my enthusiasm for reading,and that more and more students could actively participate in reading activities.I also hoped to find more friends who love reading,communicate with each other and make progress together.
