Nichole brought a hot meal with flowers Toni would meet Molly for a walk. And Rachel liked to leave a card on her porch. Each day, a new persor would reach out for Molly with a geslure of kindness. When Molly looked back,she felt both sadness and gralitude."I hadn't had huge losses before, so I didn't know the value of having people's support,"she reflected."Carla is one of those people with a really huge heart." That ongoing support made all the difference to Molly. Though still struggling, she was doing well somehow. She was back in school, studying for a degree in psychology, working towards supporting other through life's tough times. And she also started another calendar for a friend."When someone dies, people often don't know what to do or say," she said."But I always tell people to do something. lt's OK to sit with them or walk a dog. Companionship can get people through their grieving days and know they are not alone." 英语试题参考答案 第1页(共6页) 答案详解 听力部分 (Text I) M: Why are you leaving work so early today?

There is so much rubbish dropped everywhere. ( 12 ) But maybe it's because it's a well-known tourist attraction. It's difficult to ask everyone to stop using the trees as a plavground. M: Mm, you're right. Anyway, tomorrow I'm going to help out with making whatever's still needed there. It's great we got the shelters done so that tourists can go birdwatching and still slay dry.

I particularly admired those Roman statues though the gold deer were impressive and the huge flowers were so special. (15) Copying them, or doing something even slightly similar will be too much for me. W: Absolutely! There are so many different things we need to study more. We've done plenty of work on decorating surfaces. I also liked that lesson on shaping muscles. But it's using tools that I need more guidance on.(16) M: Have you decided what type of sculpture you're going to do? W: Well. the teacher was talking about choosing a subject we're truly interested in. So I might do an anima of some kind. M: That sounds difficult W: Well. ves. The teacher talked to me about what I needed to observe carefully before starting work on a sculpture like that. And she said the greatest attention should be paid to its movement. (17) There may be all sorts of other details to consider too, but not right at the start. (Text10) W: Good morning, I am Lisa.

Country Summer Dates: June 27-29, 2025 Northern California's biggest country music festival in Santa Rosa! Whether you're a passionate country enthusiast or simply enjoy the excitement of live performances, it's an ideal weekend getaway. The festival is also very family-oriented, with numerous activities for children and a friendly vibe for attendees of all ages. And for those wishing to stay on festival grounds, Country Summer offers tent and camping options. Hard Summer Dates: August 2-3, 2025 Looking for Electronic Dance Music festivals to dance and party at? Then you don't want to miss this one. Set in the desert of San Bernardino, Hard Summer offers high-energy performances, stunning light shows and immersive visuals over two days of house, hip-hop and techno music. Outside Lands Dates: August 8-10, 2025 Held annually at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, Outside Lands has grown into one of the top music events in the country. Originally focused on indie and rock, the festival's lineup now includes hip-hop, electronic, and pop artists like John Summit, Black Coffee and Claude VonStroke. In addition to its music, Outside Lands is also famous for highlighting San Francisco's vibrant culinary scene, with food being a key festival feature. 21. Which of the following starts the earliest? A. Hard Summe. B. BottleRock. C. Country Summer. D. Outside Lands. 22. What is special about Country Summer? A. It offers luxurious accommodation. B. It includes live shows every night. C. It focuses on rock and hip-hop music. D. It features family-friendly atmosphere. 23. What do BottleRock and Outside Lands have in common? A. Both combine music with food. B. Both invite many famous composers C. Both are intended for the local people. D. Both are held at the Napa Valley Expo B Heinertth is joined by her colleague Cyr, two Inuit guides and a six-person camera crew. They are going to dive beneath the sea ice in the Arctic and film what they see. "The ice edge is like a moving buffet," says Heinertth."Every day, as it breaks away, it releases ice and nutrients into the ocean. In the summer, polar bears and other sea animals come to feed." It's the perfect spot to dive, but getting there isn't easy. During spring, the ice edge can shift several kilometers a day as it breaks apart. The divers are each attached to a rope held at the other end by a guide. The rope helps them navigate back out through the ice. Through a tug from the guide, it also warns them if a polar bear is nearby. Tightening their flippers, the pair jump into the frigid water and slowly sink beneath the surface The transition between worlds is sharp on the senses, and Heinertth and Cyr move slowly and cautiously. The sub-zero water is cold on the uncovered parts of their faces, but they are used to it. Green and brown algae hang from the rough sea ice, jellyfish drift through the water, and a school of Arctic cod darts by. It's remarkable to see this life up close, but Heinertth is most struck by the sounds."The ice is cracking and popping while it melts," she says. "Sea animals click their teeth and sing as if communicating with each other." .But it's not just recreational divers who come north seeking adventure. For scientists, it can be the research opportunity of a lifetime. It's estimated that 80 percent of the world's oceans remain untapped and unexplored. Nowhere is this truer than in the Arctic Ocean. A report from the United Nations predicted the Arctic Ocean would be"practically sea- ice free" in the summer before 2O5O. Already, the animals and people living in the Arctic are being forced to adapt. That's why Heinertth-with Cauada's Polar Medal and her bestselling memoir, Into the Planet-has made it her life's inission to share her experiences with others For Heinertth, Arctic diving is about encouraging people to love and protect these things that she's so fortunate to see. 24. Why do the divers use a rope while diving? A. To sink into the water slowly. B. To secure their diving equipment. C. To warn a nearby polar bear away. D. To help themselves go back to the surface. 25. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. The rare species living in the Arctic B. The lively world in the Arctic Ocean C. The transition between the land and the sea. D. The difficulty of diving in the underwater world 26. What can be inferred about the Arctic Ocean? A. People living there stick to the old lifestyle B. It is more explored compared to other oceans C. Its sea ice will increase by the summer of 2050 D. Diving activities there are more than recreational 27. Which of the following best describe Heinertth? A. Cautious and demanding B. Adventurous and responsible. C. Professional and considerate D. Academic and competitive. C In 2018, the Czech government proposed a project to create a dam on a river southwest of Prague to revive the local ecosystem and protect the species that inhabit the river. However. bureaucracy(官僚主义) held back the project. But a colony of beavers(河狸),who do not care about paperwork, got to work. That is, they simply used stones, wood and mud to build a dam on the river. Because there were no labor or material costs, the beavers have saved the Czech government $ 1. 2 millionUSD. These ecosystem engineers build dams with three simple materials: wood, mud and stones. They place stones at the base of the dams and then add tree trunks and branches. The mud acts as cement (水泥) and settles the construction. These natural dams are so well built that they can last for many years, allowing the surrouncing ecosystem to flourish. Some people consider these animals a nuisance, as they bite on trees and can change the environment quickly. However, here are a few ways they benefit the environment. Firstly, Beaver dams encourage plant growth and peat fornation, which trap carbon, preventing it from being released into the air. Secondly, Beaver dams can filter water almost twice as efficiently as human-built treatment plants. Besides, Beaver dams help to control runoff from heavy rain. thus reducing the risk of flash flooding. And as you might expect, a moist area is less likely to burn. So, beaver dams can also help limit forest fires. Hunting nearly drove this species to extinction. But thanks to recent conservation efforts. beavers have been successfuily reintroduced to several areas in Europe, including the Czech Republic. Gerhard Schwab, a beaver expert for the Federal Nature Conservation Association. returned delighted from a field study of beaver habitats and enthusiastically announced the discovery of a valley in Belgium filled with newly formed ponds and streams. This is a clear example of the beaver's ability to transform its environment, It seems, that we still have a lot tc learn from these natural engineers! 28. How do the beavers build their dam? A. By relying only on costly cement. B. By combining materials from nature. C. By following human engineering plans. D. By using modern construction equipment. 29. What environmental benefit do beavers bring about? A. Controlling rainfall. B. Increasing fish species. C. Reducing forest fire risks. D. Releasing carbon into the air 30. Which factor contributes to beavers' reintroduction? A. The transformation of ecosystem. B. The disappearance of human dams. C. The construction of dams across Europe. D. The conservation efforts to protect them. 31. What is the article mainly about? A. Beavers are excellent ecosystem engineers. B. Animals can revive rivers through their labor C. Beavers saved the Czech government one million D. Natural dams are more cost-efficient than human dams. D People may say they prefer a short story written by a human over one composed by artificial intelligence, yet most still invest the same amount of time and money reading both stories regardless of whether it is labeled as AI-generated. That was the main finding of a study we conducted recently to test whetler this preference of humans over AI actually translates into consumer behavior. To investigate, we asked ChatGPT 4 to generate a short story in the style of the famous fiction author Jason Brown. We then recruited over 65O people and offered them $ 3. 50 to read and assess the AI-generated story. Only half the participants were told that the story was written by AI, while the other half was misled into believing it was the work of Jason Brown. After reading the first half of the Al-generated story, participants were asked to rate the quality of the work along various dimensions, such as whether they found it predictable, emotionally engaging, evocative and so on. We also measured participants' willingness to pay in order to read to the end of the story in two ways: how much study compensation they'd be willing to give up, and how much time they'd agree to spend transcribing(抄录) some text we gave them. So, were there differences between the two groups? To begin with, the group that knew the story was AI-generated had a much more negative assessment of the work. Such results are largely in keeping with an emerging but growing body of research that shows bias against AI in areas like visual art, music and poetry. Nevertheless participants were ready to spend the same amount of money and time to finish reading the story whether or not it was labeled as AI. When asked afterward, almost 40% of participants said they would have paid less if the same story was written by AI versus a human, highlighting that many are not aware of the discrepancy between their subjective assessments and actual choices.
