C Guo-Jun Qi, a leading Chinese scientist in artificial intelligence (AI), recently made his way back to China after ten years in the United States. His return marks an exciting new step for the country’s AI research development. Qi graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2005 with a degree in automation (自动化). During his studies, he won several top awards. In 2007, he was one of ten students lucky enough to be invited to Bill Gates’ home in Seattle. There, he saw amazing AI-powered smart home technology. It lighted up his love for AI. After graduation, Qi held different important positions. He worked at IBM’s research center. Then, he became the director of the Machine Perception and Learning (MAPLE) Lab at the University of Central Florida. In 2018, he joined Huawei Research USA．He also founded Oppo’s research center in Seattle. Now, Qi has joined Westlake University in Hangzhou. As the leader of the MAPLE Lab, he guides a team of 20 researchers. They focus on AI and deep learning to create pictures, videos, and virtual (虚拟的) environments. Qi said the free and creative environment at Westlake University was what brought him back to run for his long-term dreams. The MAPLE Lab continues to do research on AI.

For this project, Lena collected art materials and gave them away to homeless kids in and around her hometown of Marietta, Georgia. “My grandma always wanted to give back to others,” Lena, now 15, told the reporter. “I was guided by that.” Two years later, she started a small business called Positively Lena. It sells products with inspiring messages, including a book Lena wrote to help kids deal with hard times. “My goal is to spread positivity (积极乐观),” says Lena. She also offers workshops on creative writing and scrapbooking（剪贴簿）. Part of the money she makes goes toward her charitable (慈善的) efforts. Lena has another project: Kinship Family Initiative. She and her mom set it up in 2022. The group helps kids who are being raised by a family friend or a relative other than a parent. This cause is close to Lena’s heart. “My mom and her brothers were raised in a relative’s family,” she says. One way Lena helps is by providing “positivity bags” packed with school things and her books. “Honestly, it makes me feel really happy,” Lena says. “And that’s why I keep doing what I’m doing: knowing that I’m making a difference and knowing that I’m making people happy.” Kindness is powerful. Lena knows this. You probably do too. “Kindness means just making someone happy,” Lena says. “It can even be something as small as giving praise to someone: ‘Hey, your shirt looks nice.’ Something just like that can make someone smile. It doesn’t have to be something great. You can always just do something small, and it can make someone’s day.” Lena hopes more people show kindness to others. “If we want to grow up with kind people surrounding（围绕） us, then we need to be kind to others,” she says. “You never know how you can influence someone else.” 34．From whom did Lena probably get the idea of starting Arting for You? A．Her mom. B．Her grandma. C．Her uncles. D．Her brothers. 35．Which of the following statements about Lena is TRUE? A．She wrote a book to help kids fight against difficulties. B．She started the project Positively Lena at the age of 15. C．She was raised in her relative’s family when she was young. D．She set up Kinship Family Initiative to care for her parents. 36．How can we describe Lena? A．Brave and patient. B．Honest and simple. C．Humorous and hard-working. D．Warm-hearted and creative. 37．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce Lena’s three projects. B．To show how to make friends with others. C．To encourage people to spread kindness. D．To help sell Lena’s book all over the world. 第Ⅱ卷（主观题 共50分） 四、词汇运用（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） （A）根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。 38．At Shanghai Pudong (国际) Airport, you can find flights to places around the world. 39．The club has invited two foreign ________(教练) to train their football. 40．Xizang, a famous area in the _________(西南方) of China, attracts(吸引) thousands of visitors from all over the world every year. 41．Tom needs a (机会) to show his great abilities to all of us. 42．We are (自豪的) of our success. （B）根据句意, 在答题卡对应题号的横线上, 写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。 43．You have got to be (especial) careful when you cycle on the snow. 44．Mr Green says we may need a ______________(discuss) about the young man’s work. 45．You should speak to everyone______________(polite) at school. 46．Our government has done a lot of things to help  ______________(home) people. 47．Look at that sign.

Children with these conditions have terrible problems with eating, drinking and speaking and one in ten of them die before their first birthday. The luckier ones live, but they are often rejected by friends and sometimes even by their own family. In rich countries, simple surgeries can correct most of these mouth problems and allow children to live normal lives. But in poorer countries, the operations are too expensive for ordinary people and there are not enough doctors who can do them. In 1982, American doctor Bill Magee and his wife Kathy, a nurse, went to the Philippines to do some cleft lip surgeries. But it was a short trip and there was no time to help all the children who needed surgery. They felt terribly guilty. When they got home, they started a new charity. They called it Operation Smile. Now Operation Smile works in more than sixty countries. Five thousand volunteers give their time and skills to provide free mouth surgery to the children who need it most. The charity also provides medical equipment and trains local doctors to do the surgery themselves. In this way, the results of an Operation Smile visit continue long into the future. When an international group of doctors and nurses travels to a country, two secondary school students go, too. The students are usually people who have done a lot of fundraising (募捐) in their local area. Their trip is a fantastic way to experience a completely different culture and help to change lives forever. 58．Is it true that the children with cleft lips can’t live longer than one year because they are rejected by their friends or families? _______________________________________________________________________ 59．Why did Bill and Kathy feel guilty when they were in the Philippines? _______________________________________________________________________ 60．In how many countries can you find Operation Smile volunteers? _______________________________________________________________________ 61．What do the secondary school students do before they start a trip with Operation Smile? _______________________________________________________________________ 62．What do you think of Operation Smile? _______________________________________________________________________ 七、作文（20分） 63. 某中学八年级学生将举行以“How to be a civilized (文明的) middle school student?”为主题的演讲比赛。假设你是 Daniel，请准备100字左右的演讲稿参加比赛，具体内容如下： How to be a civilized (文明的) middle school student Good manners follow traffic rules, behave politely in public places Caring about（关爱） people take part in charity activities, work as volunteers Protecting the environment not drop litter everywhere, choose public transport, save energy Holiday plans reading, travelling... 注意： 1. 语句通顺，条理清晰，适当发挥，书写规范； 2. 词数100左右，文中不得出现真实姓名、校名和地名等； 3. 内容必须包括表格中的要点，需适当发挥。 Hello, everyone.
