Tannis Chartier, a third-year University of Lethbridge student in the Therapeutic Recreation Program is providing meaningful opportunities for unhoused people to enjoy recreational pastimes like bingo, movies and karaoke.
She got the idea for the Resilient Rec YQL program when she began volunteering at the Soup Kitchen in 2020. “I saw this huge need, ” Chartier said. “We were filling the physical needs of the people, giving them some shelters and food. But we weren’t giving them meaning and purpose, and we weren’t giving them an opportunity to move up and fill their needs to socialize. ”
In response, Chartier initially conceived the Resilient Art YQL program and approached the director of the Soup Kitchen about implementing the concept. The Soup Kitchen was on board and provided some funds to buy art supplies and offered their space so that, once a week, people could come to the Soup Kitchen and create art. The finished artworks were posted to a Facebook page and offered for sale, with the profits going to support the needs, like a new pair of boots or a new backpack, of the artist.
“We did that for about a year, and it was wonderful, ” she said. “The next summer we organized a day in the park. We went to Henderson Lake and kayaked a little bit and played lawn games. ”
Even though the art and park events were successful, Chartier thought more people might attend if the activities had broader appeal. “Some people hear the word ‘art’, and they freak out and don’t come because they think they’re not artistic, ” she said. “So, we changed our name to Resilient Rec YQL and we started running things like bingo nights, movie nights, and karaoke nights-all sorts of fun events. We wanted them to feel at home in an environment where they feel safe to have fun. ”
4. What can we know about Resilient Rec YQL program from paragraph 2?
A. Its origin. B. Its challenges. C. Its development. D. Its achievements.
5. How does Chartier feel about the events held by Resilient Rec YQL?
A. Loosely-planned. B. Privacy-ensured. C. Well-received. D. Time-consuming.
6. What does the underlined phrase “freak out” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Feel meaningless. B. Feel upset. C. Feel bored. D. Feel helpless.
7. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Being kind to the unhoused increases your own well-being.
B. An art-based program helps the people in need make a living.
C. An after-school program teaches unhoused residents to enjoy art.
D. A university student develops recreation opportunities for unhoused residents.
C
PARIS-The Chinese women’s volleyball team won a quarterfinal spot of 2024 Paris Olympics with an easy 3-0 win over hosts France in their second Group A match here on Thursday.
The 25-18, 25-16, 25-19 victory ensured China’s team in the knockout stage with one group match remaining, joining Brazil, Poland, Italy, and Turkey, who have also secured the quarterfinal spots. With two wins in a row and five points, China’s team currently lead Group A, ahead of Serbia and the United States, who each have one win.
In Group B, Brazil and Poland both have secured two wins, while Japan and Kenya remain winless. Group C saw Italy and Turkey also achieve two victories, with the Netherlands taking a win. The situation indicates even if China lost their final group match, their wins and points will still be sufficient to surpass the third place teams in Groups B and C, according to the tournament’s qualification rules.
In the first set against France, China started strong with a 5-0 run, forcing an early timeout. Despite a brief rally (反弹) led by Lucille Gicquel’s powerful serves, China regained control with improved receiving. The second set followed a similar pattern, with China quickly establishing a lead that France couldn’t overcome. Although France managed to tie the score at12-12 in the third set and momentarily stopped China’s momentum (势头), the Chinese team regained dominance to close out the match.
“The French side is not a weak team. They have powerful serves and good block height, but they made too many mistakes, ” commented a China’s head coach.
“It will be really hard, like I mentioned, we are in a strong group, it would be really hard to beat another team, but we are here and we are playing against China for the first time, and we are going to play the US, so we are taking some experience for the next time, ” said Lucille Gicquel who got a team high 10 points for France.
8. How many points has the Chinese women’s volleyball team earned after two group matches?
A. 3 points B. 4 points C. 5 points D. 6 points
9. What can be inferred about the Chinese team’s qualification for the quarterfinals?
A. They must win the final group match to advance.
B. Their current performance guarantees a quarterfinal spot regardless of the final match result.
C. They need to surpass the third-place teams in all groups to qualify.
D. The result of the final group match will significantly affect their qualification.
10. What can we infer from Lucille Gicquel’s comment?
A. France will avoid playing against strong teams in the future.
B. The French team lacks confidence in competing with top teams.
C France believes they can defeat China in future matches.
D. Playing against China and the US is a valuable experience for France.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To report on China’s victory over France and their qualification for the Paris Olympics quarterfinals.
B. To analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the Chinese and French volleyball teams.
C. To compare the performance of different teams in the volleyball tournament.
D. To discuss the importance of group stage match es in the Olympics.
D
Between at least 1995 and 2010, I was seen to be insane just because I was speaking in public about the “Internet prophecy (预言 )”. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a novelty-I even believe it may have existed in its fullness in a very distant and forgotten past. Nevertheless, it is now the topic of the moment.
Its origin began in ancient times with the stories of artificial beings that naturally had intelligence, or even consciousness, by their creators.
Although the term “Artificial Intelligence” was coined in 1956, the concept of creating intelligent machines dates back to ancient times in human history. Since ancient times, humanity has developed a fascination with building intelligent tools that could imitate or reproduce human intelligence.
Throughout the centuries, the idea of building intelligent machines continued to evolve, driven by advances in science and technology. In the 19th century, scientists and inventors such as Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace made significant contributions to the development of computing and the early concepts of programming. Their ideas paved the way for the creation of machines that could process information logically and perform complex tasks.
It was in the second half of the 20th century that AI, as a science, began to establish itself. With the coming of modern computers and increasing processing power, scientists started exploring algorithms (算法) and techniques to imitate aspects of human intelligence. The first experiments with expert systems and machine learning opened up new perspectives and possibilities.
After about 60 years in a hidden state, AI is starting to have its moment. A range of applications in various fields, including voice and image recognition, natural language understanding, and autonomous cars, have awakened the “giant”. It is the rebirth of AI in an ideal area for this purpose. The perfect moment!
We, as human beings, will not rest until we unlock all the mysteries and secrets of existence. It is in our nature!
12. What did the people around the author think of him at the beginning of this century?
A. He was a talented inventor. B. He went crazy in thinking.
C. He was good at making prophecies. D. He had doubt about the future of AI.
13. What does the underlined word “coined” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Controlled. B. Reserved. C. Invented. D. Abandoned.
14. What is a consequence of the use of AI according to the text?
A. Moral decline. B. Lack of electricity.
C. Environmental harm. D. The popularity of self-drive cars.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Rise of Artificial Intelligence B. Pioneers in Artificial Intelligence
C. How to Use Artificial Intelligence? D. Can We Live without Artificial Intelligence?

47. 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 saw a display of gratitude journals at the local bookstore one day after school. I decided to buy one of them. My plan was that from January 1, I would write five things every day that I was grateful for in my life. I looked forward to sharing my colorful life with my journal.
Starting the journal was fun, and I found five things to be grateful for every day without any problem at all. With my life sailing along so joyfully, it was easy to be grateful. I enjoyed the simple pleasure of sitting at my room every evening and writing my five entries. I entered the names of new friends my family met and the musicals we saw together, the new restaurants we tried, the touching things that my friend said to me, the exciting things that they were doing, and the encouraging comments from my parents. The words spilled on and on from my pen.
However, my life changed quickly and unexpectedly. On a Saturday afternoon in early February, there was a knock on my door that changed my life forever. When I opened the door, two men who worked with my father stood in front of me with sad expressions on their faces. They told me that my father had been found on the floor in his office and taken to the hospital. Sadly, it was too late. My father had already left.
Keeping my gratitude journal wasn’t so easy after that. Through February and March, the pages of my journal stayed empty. I was too filled with fear and sorrow to make room for gratitude. As several weeks went by, I began to realize that it was during the hard times that we most needed to find and acknowledge the good things in our life. We are not expected to be thankful for all circumstances, but we are to be thankful in all circumstances.
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 decided to take on the challenge of being thankful and positive in the midst of my sorrow.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One evening, I remembered crying and writing “I’m glad that this day is over.” five times.

Tannis Chartier, a third-year University of Lethbridge student in the Therapeutic Recreation Program is providing meaningful opportunities for unhoused people to enjoy recreational pastimes like bingo, movies and karaoke.
She got the idea for the Resilient Rec YQL program when she began volunteering at the Soup Kitchen in 2020. “I saw this huge need, ” Chartier said. “We were filling the physical needs of the people, giving them some shelters and food. But we weren’t giving them meaning and purpose, and we weren’t giving them an opportunity to move up and fill their needs to socialize. ”
In response, Chartier initially conceived the Resilient Art YQL program and approached the director of the Soup Kitchen about implementing the concept. The Soup Kitchen was on board and provided some funds to buy art supplies and offered their space so that, once a week, people could come to the Soup Kitchen and create art. The finished artworks were posted to a Facebook page and offered for sale, with the profits going to support the needs, like a new pair of boots or a new backpack, of the artist.
“We did that for about a year, and it was wonderful, ” she said. “The next summer we organized a day in the park. We went to Henderson Lake and kayaked a little bit and played lawn games. ”
Even though the art and park events were successful, Chartier thought more people might attend if the activities had broader appeal. “Some people hear the word ‘art’, and they freak out and don’t come because they think they’re not artistic, ” she said. “So, we changed our name to Resilient Rec YQL and we started running things like bingo nights, movie nights, and karaoke nights-all sorts of fun events. We wanted them to feel at home in an environment where they feel safe to have fun. ”
4. What can we know about Resilient Rec YQL program from paragraph 2?
A. Its origin. B. Its challenges. C. Its development. D. Its achievements.
5. How does Chartier feel about the events held by Resilient Rec YQL?
A. Loosely-planned. B. Privacy-ensured. C. Well-received. D. Time-consuming.
6. What does the underlined phrase “freak out” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Feel meaningless. B. Feel upset. C. Feel bored. D. Feel helpless.
7. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Being kind to the unhoused increases your own well-being.
B. An art-based program helps the people in need make a living.
C. An after-school program teaches unhoused residents to enjoy art.
D. A university student develops recreation opportunities for unhoused residents.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D

Although France managed to tie the score at12-12 in the third set and momentarily stopped China’s momentum (势头), the Chinese team regained dominance to close out the match.
“The French side is not a weak team. They have powerful serves and good block height, but they made too many mistakes, ” commented a China’s head coach.
“It will be really hard, like I mentioned, we are in a strong group, it would be really hard to beat another team, but we are here and we are playing against China for the first time, and we are going to play the US, so we are taking some experience for the next time, ” said Lucille Gicquel who got a team high 10 points for France.

Between at least 1995 and 2010, I was seen to be insane just because I was speaking in public about the “Internet prophecy (预言 )”. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a novelty-I even believe it may have existed in its fullness in a very distant and forgotten past. Nevertheless, it is now the topic of the moment.
Its origin began in ancient times with the stories of artificial beings that naturally had intelligence, or even consciousness, by their creators.
Although the term “Artificial Intelligence” was coined in 1956, the concept of creating intelligent machines dates back to ancient times in human history. Since ancient times, humanity has developed a fascination with building intelligent tools that could imitate or reproduce human intelligence.
Throughout the centuries, the idea of building intelligent machines continued to evolve, driven by advances in science and technology. In the 19th century, scientists and inventors such as Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace made significant contributions to the development of computing and the early concepts of programming. Their ideas paved the way for the creation of machines that could process information logically and perform complex tasks.
It was in the second half of the 20th century that AI, as a science, began to establish itself. With the coming of modern computers and increasing processing power, scientists started exploring algorithms (算法) and techniques to imitate aspects of human intelligence. The first experiments with expert systems and machine learning opened up new perspectives and possibilities.
After about 60 years in a hidden state, AI is starting to have its moment. A range of applications in various fields, including voice and image recognition, natural language understanding, and autonomous cars, have awakened the “giant”. It is the rebirth of AI in an ideal area for this purpose. The perfect moment!
We, as human beings, will not rest until we unlock all the mysteries and secrets of existence. It is in our nature!
12. What did the people around the author think of him at the beginning of this century?
A. He was a talented inventor. B. He went crazy in thinking.
C. He was good at making prophecies. D. He had doubt about the future of AI.
13. What does the underlined word “coined” in paragraph 3 mean?
A Controlled. B. Reserved. C. Invented. D. Abandoned.
14. What is a consequence of the use of AI according to the text?
A. Moral decline. B. Lack of electricity.
C. Environmental harm. D. The popularity of self-drive cars.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Rise of Artificial Intelligence B. Pioneers in Artificial Intelligence
C. How to Use Artificial Intelligence? D. Can We Live without Artificial Intelligence?
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人工智能的发展历程。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Between at least 1995 and 2010, I was seen to be insane just because I was speaking in public about the “Internet prophecy”. (至少在1995年至2010年期间,因为我公开谈论“互联网预言”,人们认为我疯了。)”可知,作者因为公开谈论“互联网预言”而被周围的人认为疯了。故选B。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“Although the term ‘Artificial Intelligence’ was coined in 1956, the concept of creating intelligent machines dates back to ancient times in human history.( 尽管“人工智能”这一术语是在1956年……,但创造智能机器的概念可以追溯到人类历史的古代。)”可知,创造智能机器的概念可以追溯到人类历史的古代,但实际上它是在1956年被创造出来。根据上下文可以推测,coined在这里的意思是“创造,发明”。C选项“Invented.(发明)”符合题意。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“A range of applications in various fields, including voice and image recognition, natural language understanding, and autonomous cars, have awakened the ‘giant’. It is the rebirth of AI in an ideal area for this purpose. The perfect moment!( 各个领域的一系列应用,包括语音识别、图像识别、自然语言理解以及自动驾驶汽车等,已经唤醒了这个“巨人”。这是人工智能在这一理想领域的重生。真是完美的时刻!)”可知,人工智能在各个领域得到了广泛应用,包括语音识别、图像识别、自然语言理解和自动驾驶汽车等,这促使了自动驾驶汽车的普及。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章主要讲述了人工智能的发展历程,从古代人类对智能机器的向往,到现代人工智能技术的崛起和广泛应用。因此,最适合作为文章标题的是A选项“The Rise of Artificial Intelligence(人工智能的崛起)”。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了清理家中杂物的好处,包括有助于清空大脑、改善心理健康、创造更多能量和空间,以及通过捐赠实现双赢等。
【16题详解】
上文“How about that extra toaster oven you have been storing in your basement for years? Someone else may need these items. Donating feels good.(你那多年来一直存放在地下室的那台额外的烤箱怎么样了?也许其他人会需要这些东西。进行捐赠的感觉真不错。)”提到捐赠旧物的感觉很好,下文“Here are the benefits of decluttering (清理) your homes.(以下是清理家居所带来的好处。)”则列出了清理家居的好处。C选项“As does living in a tidy and organized environment.(生活在一个整洁有序的环境中也是如此)”中的“as does”表示“也正如……一样”,起到了承上启下的作用,既回应了上文捐赠旧物带来的正面感受,也引出了下文关于清理家居的好处。故选C。

【18题详解】
上文“Clutter often leads to feelings of shame and hopelessness. These feelings can heighten, making it difficult to find the motivation to address the clutter. (杂物堆积往往会导致羞愧和绝望的情绪。这些情绪会愈发强烈,从而使人难以产生清理杂物的动力。)”提到杂乱常常导致羞耻感和绝望感,这些感受会加剧,使人难以找到解决杂乱的动机。B选项“It’s often a cycle.(这往往是一个循环)”中的“cycle”指的是一种反复出现的情况或模式,这里指的是杂乱带来的负面情绪会形成一个恶性循环,与上文的内容相呼应,同时引出了下文关于清理家居能够打破这个循环,改善心理健康的内容。因此B选项符合题意。故选B。
【19题详解】
上文提到“Everything you own and bring into your homes takes up some of your time, energy and space. There are usually items that no longer serve you. (你拥有的和带进家的每一样东西都会占用你的时间、精力和空间。通常有一些东西不再对你有用。)”强调了无用物品的负面影响。G选项“Staying on top of them in a cluttered home requires more time, energy and effort.(在杂乱的家中有条不紊地管理它们需要更多的时间、精力和努力。)”中的“them”指的是上文提到的“不再需要的东西”,而“requires more time, energy and effort”则与下文的“creates more space”形成了对比,突出了扔掉不用东西的好处,进一步说明无用物品带来的负担。故选G。
20题详解】
上文提到“Declutter and donate — it’s a win-win. One reason you hold on to useless things is that you don’t know what to do with them. The answer is simple: donate.(清理和捐赠——这是双赢。你保留无用物品的一个原因是不知道如何处理它们。答案是简单的:捐赠。)”强调了捐赠无用之物是一个简单的解决办法。E选项“Decluttering improves not only your life, but also the life of others in need.(清理不仅改善你的生活,也改善有需要的人的生活。)”直接点明了捐赠无用之物的好处,即既改善了自己的生活空间,也帮助了有需要的人,与上文的内容相呼应,同时也符合本段的主题:清理并捐赠——这是一个双赢的选择,因此E选项符合题意。故选E。

【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:2024年不仅可能成为有记录以来最热的一年,而且可能成为气候变化导致的极端天气事件频率和严重程度惊人增加的一年,这为我们提供了未来几十年和几个世纪可以预见的气候变化影响的明确预测。根据空前定冠词the以及空后连词and可知,此处应用形容词frequent的名词形式frequency,与severity并列作介词in的宾语。故填frequency。

【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些影响是深远的,涉及人类健康、政治、粮食供应、基础设施、金融市场和整个社会,超出国家边界。句中已有谓语动词are,此处应用非谓语动词,逻辑主语impacts与extend构成主动关系,应用现在分词作状语。故填extending。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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 saw a display of gratitude journals at the local bookstore one day after school. I decided to buy one of them. My plan was that from January 1, I would write five things every day that I was grateful for in my life. I looked forward to sharing my colorful life with my journal.
Starting the journal was fun, and I found five things to be grateful for every day without any problem at all. With my life sailing along so joyfully, it was easy to be grateful. I enjoyed the simple pleasure of sitting at my room every evening and writing my five entries. I entered the names of new friends my family met and the musicals we saw together, the new restaurants we tried, the touching things that my friend said to me, the exciting things that they were doing, and the encouraging comments from my parents. The words spilled on and on from my pen.
However, my life changed quickly and unexpectedly. On a Saturday afternoon in early February, there was a knock on my door that changed my life forever. When I opened the door, two men who worked with my father stood in front of me with sad expressions on their faces. They told me that my father had been found on the floor in his office and taken to the hospital. Sadly, it was too late. My father had already left.
Keeping my gratitude journal wasn’t so easy after that. Through February and March, the pages of my journal stayed empty. I was too filled with fear and sorrow to make room for gratitude. As several weeks went by, I began to realize that it was during the hard times that we most needed to find and acknowledge the good things in our life. We are not expected to be thankful for all circumstances, but we are to be thankful in all circumstances.
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 decided to take on the challenge of being thankful and positive in the midst of my sorrow.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One evening, I remembered crying and writing “I’m glad that this day is over.” five times.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I decided to take on the challenge of being thankful and positive in the midst of my sorrow. I didn’t want to be the kind of person who gave up on life. Once again I sat down at the end of the day and tried to find five things that I was grateful for and write them in my journal. What had been so easy before my father’s death became a nightly struggle. What had been a joyful family atmosphere was replaced by silence and tears, and when I tried to write what I was grateful for, my mind was filled with the sadness in my life. Though trapped in the sea of sorrow, I was eager that gratitude would shine into my heart like a ray of sunlight.
One evening, I remembered crying and writing “I’m glad that this day is over.” five times. These new entries into my journal were like a baby’s first steps. They were shaking but determined, and often ended with a fall. However, I kept on and slowly my gratefulness for life returned. By making myself write something every day, I forced my soul to see and feel the good mixed within my pain. I still cried into my pillow some nights but I began to understand that I was lucky to have so many memories that were worth crying about.
【解析】
【导语】本文以一本感恩日记为线索展开,讲述了感恩日记最初记录着作者丰富多彩的生活。父亲猝逝后,日记空白了两个多月,悲伤淹没了一切。直到某天,作者挣扎着再次落笔,像婴儿学步般重新学习感恩。日复一日,作者在悲痛中寻找微光,体悟生活中的美好与自己的幸运。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我决定接受挑战,在悲伤中保持感恩和积极的态度”可知,第一段可描写作者尝试写下自己感激的五件事,却回忆起父亲猝逝带来的无限悲痛。
②由第二段首句内容“一天晚上,我记得我哭着写了五遍‘我很高兴今天结束了’”可知,第二段可描写作者迈出了第一步,并坚持下来,重拾对生活的感恩,从写感恩日记这一习惯中作者体悟到生活的美好,从失去父亲的悲痛中慢慢走出来。
2. 续写线索:决定接受挑战——尝试写日记——回忆起悲痛——写下庆幸的内容——坚持写日记——体悟美好,走出悲痛
