W: I went to a job in business fair last week. Hundreds of local businessmen, teachers and government leaders were present. I heard a scientist deliver a speech about new technology that can protect our environment.
M: Sounds interesting. Please go on.
W: Well, we always hear about using less plastic electricity and gas. Of course, these efforts are important, but the scientists said we need technology to solve environmental problems. We need modern electricity sources and recycling technology.
M: I’ve mainly researched urban planning. Some south American cities planted hundreds of plants and trees along highways to reduce air pollution like this.
W: Not quite, but that’s important too. He said we need to spread influence. The more people learn and get excited about new technology that helps the environment, the better these technologies will do work. His technology involves recycling plastic to 3D print items.
M: Wow, I’ve never heard of that printing technology before. Plus, I doubt if anyone in the city is using this system.
W: So we need to prepare. I will be responsible for researching more information and then you can make the result into a video that can be shown in class.
M: Okay, I agree.

【原文】W: Hello everyone, here is my story from summer break.We finished school years exams on June the twelfth. A few days after that, I flew from new York to China for a two month exchange program. Upon arriving in Beijing, I was so excited about the different food traditions and lifestyles. But then I discovered the other international student I was supposed to live with couldn’t come. Honestly, this change in plans made me so stressed and sad. Still, I arrived in the city of bow with my new tour guide. This area of northern China, called inner Mongolia, is famous for its open landscapes, traditional culture and unique structures. After meeting my language colleges, teachers and staff, I was greeted by my host family. This lovely family warmly welcomed me. Within days I felt at home. Thanks to them, any doubts or stresses were long gone. I learned valuable language skills and cultural practices, but the most important lesson this family taught me was to feel open and grateful for new experiences. This lesson helped rebuild my confidence and appreciation for travel. I’ll always be thankful for that.

A dad from Texas didn’t miss a beat when it came to supporting his daughter recently. Cecelia Simmons shared a video of her husband, Andre Simmons, dancing in the stands while their daughter Jazlyn and her Temple High School cheer team performed. In the video, as the cheer team members raise the small balls and go through their routine, Andre Simmons follows right along, nailing the moves right alongside them.
The post shared on social media has obtained over 312,000 views. With tens of thousands of overwhelmingly positive comments on his post, people online quickly shared their reactions. They recommended Andre Simmons as “Cheer Dad of the Year” or applauded his energy and spot-on moves. Simmons himself was quick to say he’s not the best dancer and it took him a few days to learn the routine. “Once I got it down pat, I just jumped up there when I heard the band finally bring the song up and I got up there and did it with her,” he said.
But the father of five said he persisted because he wanted to create a lifelong memory with his girl Jazlyn, mostly because he was constantly away for work, thereby affording limited opportunities to be in the company of her. “Since she made the cheer team, that was my way of supporting her and kind of relieving the guilt of the lost time. She thought I was doing things that she loved and surprising her with joining her in the cheer during the football game,” Simmons said.
Simmons said Jazlyn and her cheer team friends were surprised and “absolutely loved” that he could join in on the fun. The proud dad said it meant “the world” to him to be able to be there for his daughter too. “I love to try to be a super dad when I’m here and create those lifelong memories and it’s something for us to look back on and enjoy together,” he said and planned on cheering some more and making more memories with Jazlyn.
24.What did Andre Simmons do at his daughter’s cheer performance?
A.He danced with the team. B.He filmed the performance.
C.He coached the cheer team. D.He cheered from the stands.
25.How did people find Andre Simmons’ behavior?
A.Amusing. B.Disturbing. C.Odd. D.Admirable.
26.Why did Andre Simmons make such a decision?
A.To win the title of “Cheer Dad of the Year”.
B.To show off his newly learned dancing skills.
C.To be the focus of attention on the Internet.
D.To make up for being absent from Jazlyn’s life.
27.Which words can best describe Andre Simmons?
A.Bearable and cautious. B.Selfless and cooperative.
C.Supportive and caring. D.Ambitious and sensitive.
【答案】24.A 25.D 26.D 27.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是Andre Simmons在他女儿Jazlyn和她的高中啦啦队表演时,与她们一起跳舞以此支持女儿并弥补因工作繁忙而错过的陪伴时光,创造了难忘的记忆。
24.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Cecelia Simmons shared a video of her husband, Andre Simmons, dancing in the stands while their daughter Jazlyn and her Temple High School cheer team performed. (Cecelia Simmons分享了她丈夫Andre Simmons在看台上跳舞的视频,而他们的女儿Jazlyn和她的Temple高中啦啦队在表演。)”可知,当Andre Simmons的女儿Jazlyn和她所在的啦啦队正在表演时,他在看台上跳舞。故选A。
25.推理判断题。根据第二段中“ With tens of thousands of overwhelmingly positive comments on his post, people online quickly shared their reactions. They recommended Andre Simmons as “Cheer Dad of the Year” or applauded his energy and spot-on moves. Simmons himself was quick to say he’s not the best dancer and it took him a few days to learn the routine.(他的帖子得到了数以万计的正面评论,网友们迅速分享了他们的反应。他们推荐Andre Simmons为“年度最佳加油爸爸”,或者称赞他的精力和精准的动作。Andre Simmons自己很快就说他不是最好的舞者,他花了几天时间来学习舞蹈。)”可知,Andre Simmons的视频获得了很多的正面评论,大家推荐Andre Simmons为“年度最佳加油爸爸”,为他的活力和到位动作喝彩。故选D。
26.推理判断题。根据第三段中“But the father of five said he persisted because he wanted to create a lifelong memory with his girl Jazlyn, mostly because he was constantly away for work, thereby affording limited opportunities to be in the company of her. (但这位五个孩子的父亲说,他之所以坚持这样做,是因为他想和他的女儿Jazlyn一起创造一个终生的回忆,主要是因为他经常出差,因此很少有机会陪伴她。)”可知,由于工作原因,Andre Simmons很少陪伴自己的女儿,因此想以此方式来支持并弥补她。故选D。
27.推理判断题。通读全文,Andre Simmons在他女儿Jazlyn 和她的高中啦啦队表演时与她们一起跳舞以此支持女儿并弥补因工作繁忙而错过的陪伴时光,创造了难忘的记忆。由此可知, Andre Simmons是一位给予女儿支持与关爱的父亲。C选项“Supportive and caring.(支持和关心。)”能够最好的概括该位父亲。故选C。

A new attempt to predict earthquakes with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI) has raised hopes that the technology could one day be used to limit earthquakes’ impact on lives and economies. Developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, the AI algorithm correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week before they happened during a seven-month trial in China.
The AI was trained to find unusual patterns in real-time seismic data that researchers had paired with the data of previous earthquakes. The outcome was a weekly forecast in which the AI successfully predicted 14 earthquakes within about 200 miles of where it estimated they would happen and at almost exactly the calculated strength. It missed one earthquake and gave eight false warnings.
It’s not yet known if the same approach will work at other locations, but the effort is a significant achievement in research for AI-driven earthquake forecasting.
“Predicting earthquakes is the ultimate goal,” said a professor, who is a member of the research team. “We’re not yet close to making predictions for anywhere in the world, but what we achieved tells us that what we thought was an impossible problem is solvable in principle.”
The researchers said that their method had succeeded by following a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was given a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, then told to train itself on a five-year database of seismic recordings. Once trained, the AI gave its forecast by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes among the background rumblings in the Earth.
“Our future goal is to combine both physics and data-driven methods to create a generalized system that we can apply anywhere in the world,” said the AI’s lead developer. “The new research is an important step towards achieving that goal.”
28.What do we say about AI predicting earthquakes?
A.The rate of accuracy is high.
B.It has got proven worldwide.
C.The prediction is completely random.
D.Earthquakes can be controlled by scientists.
29.Which can best explain the underlined word “seismic” in paragraph 2?
A.Related to weather patterns. B.Related to earthquakes.
C.Related to volcanic activities. D.Related to ocean currents.
30.What is researchers’ attitude towards AI predicting earthquakes?
A.Doubtful. B.Uncertain. C.Optimistic. D.Unfavorable.
31.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Development Of Earthquake
B.AI’s Role in Predicting Earthquakes
C.AI’s Forecast about Natural Disasters
D.The Understanding of Earthquake Physics
【答案】28.A 29.B 30.C 31.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了利用人工智能预测地震的新尝试及其取得的成果。
28.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, the AI algorithm correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week before they happened during a seven-month trial in China. (由德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的研究人员开发的人工智能算法在中国进行了为期7个月的试验,在地震发生前一周正确预测了70%的地震)”和第二段中“The outcome was a weekly forecast in which the AI successfully predicted 14 earthquakes within about 200 miles of where it estimated they would happen and at almost exactly the calculated strength. (结果是每周一次的预测,人工智能成功地预测了14次地震,地震发生地点在它估计的200英里范围内,强度几乎与计算的完全一致)”可知,人工智能算法成功预测了70%的地震,且能相当准确地预测地震的位置和强度。因此,人工智能预测地震的准确率很高。故选A项。
29.词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“The AI was trained to find unusual patterns (人工智能被训练来发现不寻常的模式)”和下文“that researchers had paired with the data of previous earthquakes (研究人员将其与之前地震的数据进行了配对)”可推知,人工智能是将实时地震数据与先前地震数据配对,从而发现异常。因此,seismic意为“与地震相关的”。故选B项。
30.推理判断题。根据第四段中研究人员所说的话“Predicting earthquakes is the ultimate goal (预测地震是最终目标)”和“We’re not yet close to making predictions for anywhere in the world, but what we achieved tells us that what we thought was an impossible problem is solvable in principle. (我们还不能预测世界上的任何地方,但我们所取得的成就告诉我们,我们认为不可能解决的问题在原则上是可以解决的)”可知,研究人员认为在全球范围内进行预测虽然曾被认为不可能解决,但现在原则上是可以解决的。因此,研究人员对人工智能预测地震持乐观态度。故选C项。
31.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“A new attempt to predict earthquakes with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI) has raised hopes that the technology could one day be used to limit earthquakes’ impact on lives and economies. (一项借助人工智能(AI)预测地震的新尝试让人们燃起了希望,这项技术有朝一日可能被用来限制地震对生命和经济的影响)”可知,本文介绍了利用人工智能预测地震的新尝试及其取得的成果。因此,B项“人工智能在预测地震中的作用”最契合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选B项。

Literature makes us better thinkers. It moves us to see the multi-sidedness of situations and therefore expands the width of our own visions, moving us towards dreams and solutions we might not otherwise have imagined.
-Judith Langer,Envisioning Literature.
When students study Literature, they learn to appreciate words and their power. They travel to other areas and times through the texts they read. They understand about their own culture and others’. They learn to empathize (共情) with characters, to feel their joys and pain. For example, one 15-year-old student shared with me that when studying the short story The Shoes of My Sensei by Goh Sin Tub, he could put himself into the shoes of those who lived through World War II, and understand their suffering, and what it was like during that time.
Importantly, they lean to consider multiple aspects and understand the complexity of human nature. Take, for example, George Orwell’s Animal Farm. Do we feel Napoleon is fully responsible for the miserable lives the animals lead? Aren’t the other animals responsible for their own misfortune too, having allowed Napoleon to bully them? In Literature, as in life, things aren’t always so clear cut, in black and white. And there lies the value of the subject—it prepares one for the ambiguities (模棱两可) of life, to take uncertainties in one’s stride.
Literature develops in students lasting values, such as integrity, sympathy, loyalty and responsibility. For example, in a text like Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, the main character chooses to sacrifice his own life rather than betray his friends and neighbors. When considering this character’s motivations, students discuss the value of integrity. They reflect on what it takes to be a man or woman who commands the respect of the people around them even in difficult situations. The texts students explore give them multiple opportunities to discuss and re-evaluate their own values and beliefs. These act as a compass in life as students grow up.
32.Why is an example of a 15-year-old student mentioned in the first paragraph?
A.To raise people’s awareness of appreciating others’ culture.
B.To appeal to readers to read more Literature on World War II.
C.To remind students that Literature can make the world free of war.
D.To show Literature can make one think from others’ points of view.
33.What does the underlined part probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Accept something uncertain without special effort.
B.Allow one to take the ambiguities of life for granted.
C.Have the courage to face the misfortune occurring in life.
D.Take the responsibility to fight against the miserable lives.
34.According to the last paragraph, Literature can help students ________.
A.lead a happy life
B.build up right values
C.get on well with friends
D.handle difficult situations
35.What might be the best title for the text?
A.Where should students start when they study Literature?
B.What will students gain through the study of Literature?
C.Why will Literature help students in their future success?
D.How can we support students in their study of Literature?
【答案】32.D 33.A 34.B 35.B
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了阅读文学作品对学生产生的影响。
32.推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“They travel to other areas and times through the texts they read.(他们通过阅读的文章到其他地区和时代旅行。)”和“They learn to empathize (共情) with characters, to feel their joys and pain.(他们学会与人物共情,感受他们的欢乐和痛苦。)”可知,作者在第一段主要告诉我们通过阅读文学作品,我们可以学会与人物共情,感受他们的欢乐和痛苦,而下文提到的一个15岁学生的例子主要是为了告诉我们他在阅读过程中是如何做到与人物共情的,是如何站在书中角色的角度思考问题的。由此可知,第一段提到一个15岁学生的例子是为了展示文学可以让人从别人的角度思考问题。故选D项。
33.词义猜测题。根据画线短语上句“In Literature, as in life, things aren’t always so clear cut, in black and white.(在文学中,就像在生活中一样,事情并不总是那么清楚,白纸黑字。)”和“it prepares one for the ambiguities (模棱两可) of life(它让人为生活中模棱两可的事物做准备)”可知,作者在本段主要告诉我们,通过阅读文学作品,我们可以学会从多个方面考虑问题,理解人性的复杂性,让我们知道在生活中,事情并不总是那么清楚,让我们为接受生活中模棱两可的事物做好准备。由此可知,画线短语指的是“轻而易举接受不确定的东西。”故选A项。
34.细节理解题。根据最后一段关键句“Literature develops in students lasting values, such as integrity, sympathy, loyalty and responsibility.(文学培养了学生持久的价值观,如正直、同情、忠诚和责任感。)”和“The texts students explore give them multiple opportunities to discuss and re-evaluate their own values and beliefs. These act as a compass in life as students grow up.”(学生探索的文章给了他们许多机会来讨论和重新评估自己的价值观和信仰。这些在学生成长过程中起着指南针的作用。)可知,最后一段中作者主要告诉我们,文学作品可以帮助学生树立正确的价值观,在学生成长过程中起着指南针的作用。故选B项。

This is something that all of us have noticed countless times in our daily lives. Whether you’re trying to read the fine print in a commercial or trying to make out a person’s face from a distance — it always helps to see better when you squint (眯起) your eyes. 36
There’s a common assumption that you’re adding much stress to your eyeballs by squeezing them to make them work better. 37 If you think for a while, you’ll find squinting is a different matter. If squinting meant making your eyes become stress balls, we’d all be in a lot of trouble.
38 When light hits an object, it bounces off its surface and enters our eyes. The light travels through the eye lens (晶状体). The lens then focuses the light rays, which fall on the retina (视网膜). A chemical present in the retina turns light into electric signals, which are then transmitted to the brain. The brain processes the signals and ultimately allows us to see stuff.
The act of squinting, quite obviously, alters the shape of the space through which light passes, which helps us form a clear image on the retina. What’s more, light from different directions enters and is subsequently perceived by the eye. 39 However, when you’re trying to focus on something, if there’s light entering from multiple directions, the lens will be overloaded. By squinting, focusing light rays becomes more precise.
Squinting does not damage your eyesight. 40 It’s one thing to occasionally squint in order to make out something far away. But if you find yourself doing it all the time, getting your eyes tested should be your focus.
A.Actually, that’s not exactly the case.
B.Has it ever occurred to you why this happens?
C.Squinting does two major things to improve our vision.
D.However, doing it for long periods of time can lead to dry eyes.
E.Normally, this is a great thing, as it feeds your situational awareness.
F.A number of biological components actually constitute the human eye.
G.Before revealing the secret behind it, let’s learn about how we see things.
【答案】36.B 37.A 38.G 39.E 40.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文解释了为什么眯眼可以帮助我们看得更清楚,并澄清了眯眼不会损害视力的误解。
36.根据上文“This is something that all of us have noticed countless times in our daily lives. Whether you’re trying to read the fine print in a commercial or trying to make out a person’s face from a distance — it always helps to see better when you squint (眯起) your eyes. (这是我们所有人在日常生活中无数次注意到的事情。无论你是想阅读商业广告上的小字,还是想从远处辨认一个人的脸——眯着眼睛总是有助于看得更清楚。)”可知,上文引出眯眼可以帮助我们看得更清楚这一话题,由下文“There’s a common assumption that you’re adding much stress to your eyeballs by squeezing them to make them work better. (有一种普遍的假设是,你挤压眼球是为了让它们更好地工作,从而给眼球增加了很大的压力。)”可知,下文解释了为什么眯眼可以帮助我们看得更清楚,故本空应提问为什么眯眼可以帮助我们看得更清楚,B选项“Has it ever occurred to you why this happens? (你有没有想过为什么会这样?)”能承上启下,符合语境。故选B。
37. 根据上文“There’s a common assumption that you’re adding much stress to your eyeballs by squeezing them to make them work better. (有一种普遍的假设是,你挤压眼球是为了让它们更好地工作,从而给眼球增加了很大的压力。)”和下文“If you think for a while, you’ll find squinting is a different matter. If squinting meant making your eyes become stress balls, we’d all be in a lot of trouble. (如果你仔细想想,你会发现眯眼是另一回事。如果眯着眼睛意味着让你的眼睛变成压力球,那我们就有大麻烦了。)”可知,本空应是对上文认知的怀疑,故选项A“Actually, that’s not exactly the case. (实际上,情况并非如此。)”能承上启下,符合语境。故选A。
38.根据下文“When light hits an object, it bounces off its surface and enters our eyes. (当光线照射到物体上时,它会从物体表面反弹,进入我们的眼睛。)”可知,下文解释了人眼看见东西的原理,本空应引出这一原理,G选项“Before revealing the secret behind it, let’s learn about how we see things. (在揭示其背后的秘密之前,让我们了解一下我们是如何看东西的。)”能引出下文,符合语境。故选G。
39. 根据上文“What’s more, light from different directions enters and is subsequently perceived by the eye. (更重要的是,来自不同方向的光进入并随后被眼睛感知。)”可知,本空应谈论光被眼睛感知的结果,E选项“Normally, this is a great thing, as it feeds your situational awareness. (通常,这是件好事,因为它增强了你的情境意识。)”能承接上文,符合语境。故选E。
40.根据上文“Squinting does not damage your eyesight. (眯眼不会损害你的视力。)”和后文“But if you find yourself doing it all the time, getting your eyes tested should be your focus. (偶尔眯着眼看清远处的东西是一回事。但如果你发现自己总是这样做,那么检查你的眼睛应该是你的重点。)”可知,上文说眯眼不会损害你的视力,下文又说检查你的眼睛,上下文存在转折关系,D选项“However, doing it for long periods of time can lead to dry eyes. (然而,长时间这样做会导致眼睛干涩。)”能承上启下,符合语境。故选D。

67.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。
It was an ordinary weekend. The supermarket was crowded with shoppers grabbing their weekly groceries. I was no exception, purchasing fresh produce and a few comfort food items, and then I reached the checkout line. As the cashier scanned my items and I reached for my wallet, my heart sank. It was missing. No cash, no cards, just an empty pocket and a growing sense of panic.
“I’m so sorry,” I stammered (结结巴巴地说), my face burning red as I began to gather my groceries, ready to make my embarrassed retreat.
But a calm voice from behind interrupted my retreat. “No worries at all,” a stranger said in a comforting tone. “I’ll cover this.”‘
I turned to see a woman with kind eyes and a warm smile, holding out her card to the cashier. She had a cart full of her own groceries, yet here she was, offering to pay for a stranger’s mistake.
“Are you sure?” I asked, my voice filled with a mix of gratitude and disbelief.
“Absolutely,” she replied. “But I’ll need something from you in return.”
“Anything, ”I said, ready to do whatever it took to repay her kindness.
“Promise me you’ll pay it forward,” she said, her gaze (目光) meeting mine with a sincerity that touched my heart.
I nodded, my promise as firm as the resolve to make a difference. “I promise.”
As I left the store with my groceries, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had just been given a gift—a chance to make a difference in someone else’s life.
Months later, I found myself driving through a quiet countryside, the scenery passing by peacefully. Up ahead, I noticed a lone figure by the roadside, a backpacker with her thumb out, trying to ask for a ride. Car after car sped past, leaving her in their dust. Something about her lone figure touched my heart.
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。
I slowed down and pulled over.

As we parted, I handed her some cash and said, “For your bus ticket home.”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I slowed down and pulled over. “Need a lift?” I asked, rolling down the window. Her face lit up with relief and gratitude. “Yes, please,” she said, climbing into my car. We chatted as we drove. She told me that she had waited there for hours. She was about to give up when I stopped. And she told me her stories of adventure and excitement. When she mentioned she was short on funds and needed to get home, I knew what I had to do.
As we parted, I handed her some cash and said, “For your bus ticket home.” “I can’t take this,” she refused, her eyes wide with surprise. “You can,” I insisted. “And one day, when you can, pay it forward.” Then we parted. As I continued my drive, I was filled with a renewed sense of purpose and a heart full of hope. I know I choose to pay it forward, not for recognition or reward, but because I believe in the power of kindness to change lives, one small act at a time.

I know I choose to pay it forward, not for recognition or reward, but because I believe in the power of kindness to change lives, one small act at a time.

Listen to the next question. Jenny, it's Derek. Sorry for calling so late, but I won't make IT to work today. I had seafood yesterday. Now i'm feeling unwell. All right, please feel Better soon. Give me a call this evening with an update on your condition. I will do that. thanks. Listen to the next question. What an interesting result. I've never seen such data on economic patterns over time. Are you trying to research into people's consumption habits . on this project? Actually, I simply wanted to explore the history of london's development. I love our city and want to learn more about IT. Listen to the next question. I plans to make you proud by bringing you to this design competition and winning the first prize for my dresses. It's not just about winning, dear. It's about your arts inspiration. Thanks for never doubting my talent, dad, but I feel like I failed. Listen to the next question. Hi, miss linch. Could we have a talk? Hi Daniel. I'm walking back to the classroom from the teacher's office. Are you coming? Oh, I was walking through this hall to the canteen. But could I walk with you? I want to ask how to improve my grades. sure. You did well in our previous text and projects. Are you having trouble with our recent paper? Yes, i'm making slow progress on my current paper.

Listen to the next question. Welcome, sir. Is this your first time at open art and design? Yes, and i'm amazed at the number of local families, students and artists you attracted here. Unlike large gallery shows, our events aren't designed for wealthy collectors. The majority of people here are people who live nearby and appreciate art. How did this event get so much attention? We achieved this by letting our cities, painters and designers, show whatever they want. Thus, our goal isn't about profit, is about creating and growing and art community. Well, i've already seen some of your large life like landscape paintings. They are my favorites. Great, but none of these are mine. Please let me introduce the painters to you. Welcome, sir.

Listen to the next question. You could become a manager, a writer, an artist, an engineer or anything else with all these options. Consider everything carefully. That's where I come in. It's my duty to help you choose the right career path. I'm excited. I've never talked to a job adviser before. Where can we begin? We'll start with the career triangle. The three sides include what you are good at doing, what you enjoy doing and what you can make money doing. You can find the perfect job by completing each side of this triangle. wonderful. I love playing football, reading novels and draw pictures, but i'm not an expert at any of those hobbies. My main talent is communication, and I love talking to people. great.

What are we going to do on our project? We'll have to present IT to everyone in mr. Franklin environmental science course next week. I went to a job and business fair. Last week, hundreds of local business men, teachers and government leaders were present. I heard a scientist deliver a speech about new technology that can protect our environment. Sounds interesting. Please go on. Well, we always hear about using less plastic electricity and gas. Of course, these efforts are important. But the scientists said, we need technology to solve environmental problems. We need modern electricity sources and recycling technology. I've mainly researched urban planning. Some south american cities planted hundreds of plants and trees along highways to reduce air pollution like this. Not quite, but that's important too, he said. We need to spread influence. The more people learn and get excited about new technology that helps the environment, the Better these technologies will do work. His technology involves recycling plastic two three d print items. Wow, i've never heard of that printing technology before. Plus, I doubt if anyone in the city is using this system. So we need to prepare. I will be responsible for researching more information, and then you can make the result into a video that can be shown in class OK. I agree. What are we going to do on our project?

Hello everyone, here is my story from summer break. We will finish the school ears exams on june the twelve. A few days after that, I flew from new york to china for a two months exchange program. Upon arriving in beijing, I was so excited about the different food traditions and lifestyles, but then I discovered the other international student I was supposed to live with couldn't come honestly. This change in plans made me so stressed and sad still. I arrived in the city of bottle with my new tour guide, this area of northern china called inner mongolia is famous for its open landscapes, traditional culture and unique structures. After meeting my language, colleges, teachers and stuff, I was greeted by my host family. This lovely family warmly welcomed me. Within days, I felt at home thanks to them, any doubts or stresses were long gone. I learned valuable language, schools and cultural practices, but the most important lesson this family taught me was to feel open and grateful for new experiences. This lesson helped rebuild my confidence and appreciation for travel. I'll always be thankful for that. Hello everyone, here is my story from summer break.

A dad from Texas didn’t miss a beat when it came to supporting his daughter recently. Cecelia Simmons shared a video of her husband, Andre Simmons, dancing in the stands while their daughter Jazlyn and her Temple High School cheer team performed. In the video, as the cheer team members raise the small balls and go through their routine, Andre Simmons follows right along, nailing the moves right alongside them.
The post shared on social media has obtained over 312,000 views. With tens of thousands of overwhelmingly positive comments on his post, people online quickly shared their reactions. They recommended Andre Simmons as “Cheer Dad of the Year” or applauded his energy and spot-on moves. Simmons himself was quick to say he’s not the best dancer and it took him a few days to learn the routine. “Once I got it down pat, I just jumped up there when I heard the band finally bring the song up and I got up there and did it with her,” he said.
But the father of five said he persisted because he wanted to create a lifelong memory with his girl Jazlyn, mostly because he was constantly away for work, thereby affording limited opportunities to be in the company of her. “Since she made the cheer team, that was my way of supporting her and kind of relieving the guilt of the lost time. She thought I was doing things that she loved and surprising her with joining her in the cheer during the football game,” Simmons said.
Simmons said Jazlyn and her cheer team friends were surprised and “absolutely loved” that he could join in on the fun. The proud dad said it meant “the world” to him to be able to be there for his daughter too. “I love to try to be a super dad when I’m here and create those lifelong memories and it’s something for us to look back on and enjoy together,” he said and planned on cheering some more and making more memories with Jazlyn.
24.What did Andre Simmons do at his daughter’s cheer performance?
A.He danced with the team. B.He filmed the performance.
C.He coached the cheer team. D.He cheered from the stands.
25.How did people find Andre Simmons’ behavior?
A.Amusing. B.Disturbing. C.Odd. D.Admirable.
26.Why did Andre Simmons make such a decision?
A.To win the title of “Cheer Dad of the Year”.
B.To show off his newly learned dancing skills.
C.To be the focus of attention on the Internet.
D.To make up for being absent from Jazlyn’s life.
27.Which words can best describe Andre Simmons?
A.Bearable and cautious. B.Selfless and cooperative.
C.Supportive and caring. D.Ambitious and sensitive.
C
A new attempt to predict earthquakes with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI) has raised hopes that the technology could one day be used to limit earthquakes’ impact on lives and economies. Developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, the AI algorithm correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week before they happened during a seven-month trial in China.
The AI was trained to find unusual patterns in real-time seismic data that researchers had paired with the data of previous earthquakes. The outcome was a weekly forecast in which the AI successfully predicted 14 earthquakes within about 200 miles of where it estimated they would happen and at almost exactly the calculated strength. It missed one earthquake and gave eight false warnings.
It’s not yet known if the same approach will work at other locations, but the effort is a significant achievement in research for AI-driven earthquake forecasting.
“Predicting earthquakes is the ultimate goal,” said a professor, who is a member of the research team. “We’re not yet close to making predictions for anywhere in the world, but what we achieved tells us that what we thought was an impossible problem is solvable in principle.”
The researchers said that their method had succeeded by following a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was given a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, then told to train itself on a five-year database of seismic recordings. Once trained, the AI gave its forecast by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes among the background rumblings in the Earth.

Literature makes us better thinkers. It moves us to see the multi-sidedness of situations and therefore expands the width of our own visions, moving us towards dreams and solutions we might not otherwise have imagined.
-Judith Langer,Envisioning Literature.
When students study Literature, they learn to appreciate words and their power. They travel to other areas and times through the texts they read. They understand about their own culture and others’. They learn to empathize (共情) with characters, to feel their joys and pain. For example, one 15-year-old student shared with me that when studying the short story The Shoes of My Sensei by Goh Sin Tub, he could put himself into the shoes of those who lived through World War II, and understand their suffering, and what it was like during that time.
Importantly, they lean to consider multiple aspects and understand the complexity of human nature. Take, for example, George Orwell’s Animal Farm. Do we feel Napoleon is fully responsible for the miserable lives the animals lead? Aren’t the other animals responsible for their own misfortune too, having allowed Napoleon to bully them? In Literature, as in life, things aren’t always so clear cut, in black and white. And there lies the value of the subject—it prepares one for the ambiguities (模棱两可) of life, to take uncertainties in one’s stride.
Literature develops in students lasting values, such as integrity, sympathy, loyalty and responsibility. For example, in a text like Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, the main character chooses to sacrifice his own life rather than betray his friends and neighbors. When considering this character’s motivations, students discuss the value of integrity. They reflect on what it takes to be a man or woman who commands the respect of the people around them even in difficult situations. The texts students explore give them multiple opportunities to discuss and re-evaluate their own values and beliefs. These act as a compass in life as students grow up.
32.Why is an example of a 15-year-old student mentioned in the first paragraph?
A.To raise people’s awareness of appreciating others’ culture.
B.To appeal to readers to read more Literature on World War II.
C.To remind students that Literature can make the world free of war.
D.To show Literature can make one think from others’ points of view.
33.What does the underlined part probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Accept something uncertain without special effort.
B.Allow one to take the ambiguities of life for granted.
C.Have the courage to face the misfortune occurring in life.
D.Take the responsibility to fight against the miserable lives.
34.According to the last paragraph, Literature can help students ________.
A.lead a happy life
B.build up right values
C.get on well with friends
D.handle difficult situations
35.What might be the best title for the text?
A.Where should students start when they study Literature?
B.What will students gain through the study of Literature?
C.Why will Literature help students in their future success?
D.How can we support students in their study of Literature?

This is something that all of us have noticed countless times in our daily lives. Whether you’re trying to read the fine print in a commercial or trying to make out a person’s face from a distance — it always helps to see better when you squint (眯起) your eyes. 36
There’s a common assumption that you’re adding much stress to your eyeballs by squeezing them to make them work better. 37 If you think for a while, you’ll find squinting is a different matter. If squinting meant making your eyes become stress balls, we’d all be in a lot of trouble.
38 When light hits an object, it bounces off its surface and enters our eyes. The light travels through the eye lens (晶状体). The lens then focuses the light rays, which fall on the retina (视网膜). A chemical present in the retina turns light into electric signals, which are then transmitted to the brain. The brain processes the signals and ultimately allows us to see stuff.
The act of squinting, quite obviously, alters the shape of the space through which light passes, which helps us form a clear image on the retina. What’s more, light from different directions enters and is subsequently perceived by the eye. 39 However, when you’re trying to focus on something, if there’s light entering from multiple directions, the lens will be overloaded. By squinting, focusing light rays becomes more precise.
Squinting does not damage your eyesight. 40 It’s one thing to occasionally squint in order to make out something far away. But if you find yourself doing it all the time, getting your eyes tested should be your focus.
A.Actually, that’s not exactly the case.
B.Has it ever occurred to you why this happens?
C.Squinting does two major things to improve our vision.
D.However, doing it for long periods of time can lead to dry eyes.
E.Normally, this is a great thing, as it feeds your situational awareness.
F.A number of biological components actually constitute the human eye.
G.Before revealing the secret behind it, let’s learn about how we see things.

67.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。
It was an ordinary weekend. The supermarket was crowded with shoppers grabbing their weekly groceries. I was no exception, purchasing fresh produce and a few comfort food items, and then I reached the checkout line. As the cashier scanned my items and I reached for my wallet, my heart sank. It was missing. No cash, no cards, just an empty pocket and a growing sense of panic.
“I’m so sorry,” I stammered (结结巴巴地说), my face burning red as I began to gather my groceries, ready to make my embarrassed retreat.
But a calm voice from behind interrupted my retreat. “No worries at all,” a stranger said in a comforting tone. “I’ll cover this.”‘
I turned to see a woman with kind eyes and a warm smile, holding out her card to the cashier. She had a cart full of her own groceries, yet here she was, offering to pay for a stranger’s mistake.
“Are you sure?” I asked, my voice filled with a mix of gratitude and disbelief.
“Absolutely,” she replied. “But I’ll need something from you in return.”
“Anything, ”I said, ready to do whatever it took to repay her kindness.
“Promise me you’ll pay it forward,” she said, her gaze (目光) meeting mine with a sincerity that touched my heart.
I nodded, my promise as firm as the resolve to make a difference. “I promise.”
As I left the store with my groceries, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had just been given a gift—a chance to make a difference in someone else’s life.
Months later, I found myself driving through a quiet countryside, the scenery passing by peacefully. Up ahead, I noticed a lone figure by the roadside, a backpacker with her thumb out, trying to ask for a ride. Car after car sped past, leaving her in their dust. Something about her lone figure touched my heart.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

I slowed down and pulled over.

A dad from Texas didn’t miss a beat when it came to supporting his daughter recently. Cecelia Simmons shared a video of her husband, Andre Simmons, dancing in the stands while their daughter Jazlyn and her Temple High School cheer team performed. In the video, as the cheer team members raise the small balls and go through their routine, Andre Simmons follows right along, nailing the moves right alongside them.
The post shared on social media has obtained over 312,000 views. With tens of thousands of overwhelmingly positive comments on his post, people online quickly shared their reactions. They recommended Andre Simmons as “Cheer Dad of the Year” or applauded his energy and spot-on moves. Simmons himself was quick to say he’s not the best dancer and it took him a few days to learn the routine. “Once I got it down pat, I just jumped up there when I heard the band finally bring the song up and I got up there and did it with her,” he said.
But the father of five said he persisted because he wanted to create a lifelong memory with his girl Jazlyn, mostly because he was constantly away for work, thereby affording limited opportunities to be in the company of her. “Since she made the cheer team, that was my way of supporting her and kind of relieving the guilt of the lost time. She thought I was doing things that she loved and surprising her with joining her in the cheer during the football game,” Simmons said.
Simmons said Jazlyn and her cheer team friends were surprised and “absolutely loved” that he could join in on the fun. The proud dad said it meant “the world” to him to be able to be there for his daughter too. “I love to try to be a super dad when I’m here and create those lifelong memories and it’s something for us to look back on and enjoy together,” he said and planned on cheering some more and making more memories with Jazlyn.
24.What did Andre Simmons do at his daughter’s cheer performance?
A.He danced with the team. B.He filmed the performance.
C.He coached the cheer team. D.He cheered from the stands.
25.How did people find Andre Simmons’ behavior?
A.Amusing. B.Disturbing. C.Odd. D.Admirable.
26.Why did Andre Simmons make such a decision?
A.To win the title of “Cheer Dad of the Year”.
B.To show off his newly learned dancing skills.
C.To be the focus of attention on the Internet.
D.To make up for being absent from Jazlyn’s life.
27.Which words can best describe Andre Simmons?
A.Bearable and cautious. B.Selfless and cooperative.
C.Supportive and caring. D.Ambitious and sensitive.
C
A new attempt to predict earthquakes with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI) has raised hopes that the technology could one day be used to limit earthquakes’ impact on lives and economies. Developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, the AI algorithm correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week before they happened during a seven-month trial in China.
The AI was trained to find unusual patterns in real-time seismic data that researchers had paired with the data of previous earthquakes. The outcome was a weekly forecast in which the AI successfully predicted 14 earthquakes within about 200 miles of where it estimated they would happen and at almost exactly the calculated strength. It missed one earthquake and gave eight false warnings.
It’s not yet known if the same approach will work at other locations, but the effort is a significant achievement in research for AI-driven earthquake forecasting.
“Predicting earthquakes is the ultimate goal,” said a professor, who is a member of the research team. “We’re not yet close to making predictions for anywhere in the world, but what we achieved tells us that what we thought was an impossible problem is solvable in principle.”
The researchers said that their method had succeeded by following a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was given a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, then told to train itself on a five-year database of seismic recordings. Once trained, the AI gave its forecast by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes among the background rumblings in the Earth.
“Our future goal is to combine both physics and data-driven methods to create a generalized system that we can apply anywhere in the world,” said the AI’s lead developer. “The new research is an important step towards achieving that goal.”
28.What do we say about AI predicting earthquakes?
A.The rate of accuracy is high.
B.It has got proven worldwide.
C.The prediction is completely random.
D.Earthquakes can be controlled by scientists.
29.Which can best explain the underlined word “seismic” in paragraph 2?
A.Related to weather patterns. B.Related to earthquakes.
C.Related to volcanic activities. D.Related to ocean currents.
30.What is researchers’ attitude towards AI predicting earthquakes?
A.Doubtful. B.Uncertain. C.Optimistic. D.Unfavorable.
31.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Development Of Earthquake
B.AI’s Role in Predicting Earthquakes
C.AI’s Forecast about Natural Disasters
D.The Understanding of Earthquake Physics

67.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。
It was an ordinary weekend. The supermarket was crowded with shoppers grabbing their weekly groceries. I was no exception, purchasing fresh produce and a few comfort food items, and then I reached the checkout line. As the cashier scanned my items and I reached for my wallet, my heart sank. It was missing. No cash, no cards, just an empty pocket and a growing sense of panic.
“I’m so sorry,” I stammered (结结巴巴地说), my face burning red as I began to gather my groceries, ready to make my embarrassed retreat.
But a calm voice from behind interrupted my retreat. “No worries at all,” a stranger said in a comforting tone. “I’ll cover this.”‘
I turned to see a woman with kind eyes and a warm smile, holding out her card to the cashier. She had a cart full of her own groceries, yet here she was, offering to pay for a stranger’s mistake.
“Are you sure?” I asked, my voice filled with a mix of gratitude and disbelief.
“Absolutely,” she replied. “But I’ll need something from you in return.”
“Anything, ”I said, ready to do whatever it took to repay her kindness.
“Promise me you’ll pay it forward,” she said, her gaze (目光) meeting mine with a sincerity that touched my heart.
I nodded, my promise as firm as the resolve to make a difference. “I promise.”
As I left the store with my groceries, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had just been given a gift—a chance to make a difference in someone else’s life.
Months later, I found myself driving through a quiet countryside, the scenery passing by peacefully. Up ahead, I noticed a lone figure by the roadside, a backpacker with her thumb out, trying to ask for a ride. Car after car sped past, leaving her in their dust. Something about her lone figure touched my heart.
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。
I slowed down and pulled over.
