The girl placed two things into Wang’s hand: a small, folded note and a warm heat patch. Wang unfolded (打开) the paper: “If the sky is cloudy, I will be your sunshine.” In that instant, the classroom walls of Mengla No. 1 High School seemed to glow. The pain and weariness didn’t vanish, but something warmer — a shared kindness — rose to meet it. This quiet moment defined Wang’s year as a volunteer teacher in rural Yunnan. Wang, 22, graduated from the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing with degrees in Chinese literature and international economics. Yet her true passion was service. Guided by her motto — “When poor, cultivate yourself; when successful, help the world” — she led campus volunteer groups and launched online literacy projects. When she applied for the competitive “Go West” Postgraduate Education Supporting Program (only 21 chosen yearly from 50 applicants), her experience shone. She earned her place. Now, far from her coastal hometown of Quanzhou, Wang teaches in mountainous Mengla County. Her classroom holds not just textbooks, but trust. The student’s note wasn’t just comfort; it was a reflection of the connection Wang builds daily. “People might imagine rural teaching means just giving lessons,” Wang might say. “But it’s more. It’s showing up, even when it’s hard. It’s seeing their struggles, and letting them see yours. That note? That was sunshine returned.” Wang understands her role transcends (超越) academics. In Mengla, she cultivates hope — one warm patch, one quiet word of sunshine at a time. 4. Why did the girl give Wang Xueru two things? A. To thank her for excellent teaching. B. To return classroom items she lost. C. To comfort her during physical pain. D. To remind her about the weather. 5. Why was Wang Xueru selected for the “Go West” program? A. She had rich volunteer experience. B. She had top grades in economics. C. She created new teaching methods. D. She could bear difficult conditions. 6.

What does Wang Xueru understand rural teaching involves? A. Following school rules strictly. B. Adapting to local weather challenges. C. Focusing on personal achievements. D. More than academic lessons. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述22岁的王雪茹作为志愿者教师在云南勐腊支教的经历，展现她对支教工作的热忱及与学生间的温暖互动。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As Wang Xueru packed her bag, sharp cramps twisting her stomach (王雪茹收拾书包时，胃部突然剧烈绞痛)”以及“The girl placed two things into Wang’s hand: a small, folded note and a warm heat patch (女孩把两样东西塞进王雪茹手里：一张折叠的小纸条和一片暖贴)”和第二段中的“The pain and weariness didn’t vanish, but something warmer — a shared kindness — rose to meet it (疼痛和疲惫并未消失，但一种更温暖的东西——一份共同的善意——油然而生)”可知，女孩给王雪茹两样东西是为了在她身体疼痛时给予安慰。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Guided by her motto — “When poor, cultivate yourself; when successful, help the world” — she led campus volunteer groups and launched online literacy projects. When she applied for the competitive “Go West” Postgraduate Education Supporting Program (only 21 chosen yearly from 50 applicants), her experience shone. She earned her place.(在“穷则独善其身，达则兼济天下”的座右铭指引下，她带领校园志愿者团队，发起在线扫盲项目。当她申请竞争激烈的“西部计划”研究生支教项目时（每年50名申请者中仅选21人），她的经历十分亮眼，最终成功入选)”可知，王雪茹之所以能入选“西部计划”，是因为她拥有丰富的志愿者经历。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Wang, 22, graduated from the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing with degrees in Chinese literature and international economics. Yet her true passion was service. Guided by her motto — “When poor, cultivate yourself; when successful, help the world” — she led campus volunteer groups and launched online literacy projects. When she applied for the competitive “Go West” Postgraduate Education Supporting Program (only 21 chosen yearly from 50 applicants), her experience shone. She earned her place.(22 岁的王雪茹毕业于北京对外经济贸易大学，拥有中国文学与国际经济双学位。但她真正的热忱在于服务他人。在‘穷则独善其身，达则兼济天下’这一座右铭的指引下，她带领校园志愿者团队，还发起了线上扫盲项目。当她申请竞争激烈的“西部计划”研究生支教项目时（该项目每年从 50 名申请者中仅选拔 21 人），她的过往经历十分亮眼，最终成功入选)”可知，从王雪茹的行为来看：她放弃城市机会，前往云南农村支教，体现对支教事业的“投入（committed）”；根据第四段“Now, far from her coastal hometown of Quanzhou, Wang teaches in mountainous Mengla County. Her classroom holds not just textbooks, but trust. The student’s note wasn’t just comfort; it was a reflection of the connection Wang builds daily.(如今，王雪茹远离自己位于沿海地区的家乡泉州，在山区勐腊县任教。在她的课堂上，不仅有课本，更有信任。学生递来的那张纸条，不只是一份安慰，更是王雪茹日常与学生建立起情感联结的体现)”可知，学生在她胃痛时送暖贴和纸条，而这源于她日常与学生建立的信任和关怀，反过来也体现她平时对学生的“关心（caring）”。故选B项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的““People might imagine rural teaching means just giving lessons,” Wang might say. “But it’s more. It’s showing up, even when it’s hard. It’s seeing their struggles, and letting them see yours. ”（王雪茹可能会说：“人们可能以为农村教学只是上课，但远不止如此。它意味着即便困难也要坚持到场，意味着看见学生的困境，也让学生看见你的不易”）”以及第六段中的“Wang understands her role transcends (超越) academics (王雪茹明白自己的角色超越了学术教学)”可知，王雪茹认为农村教学不仅仅包含学术课程。故选D项。 C Travel is like a box of chocolates — you never know what you’re going to get, especially when you are using a blind box plane ticket. Fan Zhihua, who enjoys going wherever she wants and whenever she wants, bought her first blind box plane ticket in March last year. The 29-year-old went to Zhangye, Gansu Province. It’s a lesser-known place, but it actually brings surprises. When Fan arrived in Zhangye, she found that she was able to share a car with a few other people. This allowed the travelers to save money, since many of the area’s tourist places are far away from each other. So Fan found a group of easy-going young women to join. They went to some tourist places together, but everyone was free to choose their schedule (日程安排). “The best part of the trip is this way of travelling, free and fantastic,” Fan said. She got more from the trip. Before that, Fan thought most of the natural scenery (风景) she saw in photos was over-beautified. However, her trip to Dunhuang changed her mind. After a couple of days in Zhangye, the group decided to leave for Dunhuang. Fan was never a big fan of making travel plans, so she just went along. Fan and her travel pals went on a camel (骆驼) ride, and as they entered the desert, she was amazed at the scenery. “I couldn’t describe it in words. To be honest, I’m not a history lover, but when I was in the endless desert, it was amazing,” Fan said, “I felt like I had become Zhang Qian, traveling to Xiyu.” Fan believes that life itself is a journey made up of long and short trips. “I think I was brought into this world to have as many experiences as possible and that I should make every day meaningful,” she added. 8. What do you know about Fan Zhihua? A. She is a travel lover. B. She often travels with tour groups. C. She has little spare time. D. She is good at making travel plans. 9. Which word can best describe Fan’s trip to Zhangye? A. Short. B. Tiring. C. Expensive. D. Wonderful. 10. What might Fan learn from her trip to Dunhuang? A. It’s now or never. B. Seeing is believing. C. Sharing makes the trip fantastic. D. Actions speak louder than words. 11. Why did Fan mention Zhang Qian? A. To show her respect for him. B. To introduce the story of Zhang Qian. C. To express her amazement at the desert. D. To explain the difficulty of the journey to Xiyu. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了旅行爱好者范志华购买盲盒机票开启旅行的经历，包括她在甘肃张掖的拼车旅行、前往敦煌沙漠的所见所感，以及这次旅行带给她的观念转变和人生感悟。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Fan Zhihua, who enjoys going wherever she wants and whenever she wants, bought her first blind box plane ticket in March last year. (范志华喜欢随心所欲地去任何地方，去年3月，她购买了第一张盲盒机票)”以及后文她对旅行的热爱和感悟可知，范志华是一位旅行爱好者。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““The best part of the trip is this way of travelling, free and fantastic,” Fan said. (范志华说：“这次旅行最棒的地方就是这种旅行方式，自由又美妙。”)”可知，范志华认为张掖之旅自由且美妙，D选项“Wonderful”（美妙的）最能描述这次旅行。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Before that, Fan thought most of the natural scenery (风景) she saw in photos was over- beautified. However, her trip to Dunhuang changed her mind. (在此之前，范志华认为照片中看到的大部分自然风光都被过度美化了。然而，敦煌之旅改变了她的想法)”以及第五段她在敦煌沙漠中亲眼见到震撼景色的描述可知，范志华此前对照片中的风景持怀疑态度，直到亲身前往敦煌看到真实景色才改变想法，这体现了“眼见为实”的道理。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Fan and her travel pals went on a camel (骆驼) ride, and as they entered the desert, she was amazed at the scenery. “I couldn’t describe it in words. To be honest, I’m not a history lover, but when I was in the endless desert, it was amazing,” Fan said, “I felt like I had become Zhang Qian, traveling to Xiyu.” (范志华和她的旅伴们一起骑骆驼，当他们进入沙漠时，她被眼前的景色震撼了。“我无法用语言来形容它。说实话，我并不是一个历史爱好者，但当我身处这片无垠的沙漠中时，那种感觉太奇妙了，”范志华说，“我感觉自己仿佛变成了张骞，正出使西域。”)”可知，范志华提到张骞是因为沙漠景色极其震撼，让她产生了身临其境的代入感。由此推知，她提到张骞，是为了表达她对沙漠的惊叹。。故选C项。 D Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable, thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, created an AI model that, during a test run in China, correctly forecasted approximately 70 percent of earthquakes with a one-week warning and offered reliable assessments of their potential intensity. The researchers attribute their technique’s effectiveness to its reliance on a straightforward machine learning framework. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet’s low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声). The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震) events. According to Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network, “Seismic occurrences strike without warning, often in the blink of an eye. Your readiness is all you can influence. Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes, reducing both the financial burden and loss of life, and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” Although the effectiveness of this method in different regions remains uncertain, the researchers believe that their AI model has the potential to enhance prediction accuracy when carried out in regions equipped with dependable seismic monitoring facilities. Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, where the University of Texas’s TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Ultimately, the authors aim to combine the system with physics-based models. This approach could be particularly valuable in areas characterized by limited or inadequate data. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 12. How does the AI predict seismic events? A. By using a simple machine learning system. B. By identifying hidden signs in the rumbles. C. By relying on experts’ earthquake knowledge. D. By analyzing data of earthquake recordings. 13. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The restrictions of AI-based methods in earthquake prediction. 14. What does the subsequent research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 15. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical. D. Pioneering and promising. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人工智能可以给出准确的地震预测，介绍了其工作原理以及意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Once trained, the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet’s low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声).(经过训练后，人工智能通过探测隐藏在地球低频隆隆声中的早期地震指标来提供预测。)”可知，人工智能通过识别隆隆声中隐藏的迹象预测地震事件。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震) events. According to Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network, “Seismic occurrences strike without warning, often in the blink of an eye. Your readiness is all you can influence. Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes, reducing both the financial burden and loss of life, and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.”(该项目标志着人工智能在预测地震事件方面的探索取得了重大突破。德克萨斯地震网的高级研究员Alexandros Savvaidis说：“地震发生在没有预警的情况下，经常在眨眼之间发生。你能影响的只有你的准备程度。达到70%的预测率是一项相当大的成就，可以显著限制地震的影响，减少经济负担和生命损失，并有可能显著改善全球的地震准备工作。”)”可知，亚历山德罗斯·萨瓦伊迪斯想在第3段说明发展人工智能预测的意义。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, where the University of Texas’s TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.(他们的下一步是在德克萨斯州测试人工智能，德克萨斯大学的TexNet运营着一个由300个地震站组成的网络，拥有超过六年的连续记录，使其成为进行这些研究的理想地点。)”可知，接下来的研究重点是在不同地点进行测试。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable, thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities.(人工智能(AI)的进步表明，准确的地震预测可能是可以实现的，从而对传统智慧产生了质疑，即这种成就超出了我们的能力)”以及最后一段““That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director.(“这可能还有很长的路要走，但许多像这样的进步，综合起来，是推动科学向前发展的动力，”该局局长斯科特·廷克总结道。)”可推知，地震预测技术具有开创性和前景。故选D。 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。 As is known, Albert Einstein was one of the greatest scientists of all time.

He was not a passenger like me. He was, what we call a street child, an 8-10-year-old kid with a worn T-shirt. These poorly dressed kids were seen almost everywhere in Dhaka city. But what was special about that boy was his face. There was “something” in him that caught my attention. That was an angelic(天使般的)baby face with little care. He got straight into the bus as it stopped at a traffic light. The bus helper shouted at him in the first place. But instead of talking back, the boy kept silent and started handing out a piece of paper to all the passengers. What was written in the paper was, in short, that his father died a couple of years ago. His mother worked at houses. He badly needed money to help his family, so he wished someone warm-hearted to buy chocolates from him. This was nothing new to people who took a bus every day and I was no different. I had my earphones on, listening to some relaxing music to kill time. When he came to me to get the paper back, I casually gave him some money. Thankfully it brought some smiles on his face. He was about to give me ten chocolates in return for the money I gave to him when I stopped him. “I don’t like chocolates, brother. So there is no need of chocolates. You can have the money,” I said. All of a sudden, the smile on his face disappeared. “I’m not a beggar. Please take the chocolate, or take your money back.” His straight answer greatly surprised me. I even felt he was slightly angry. I had given money to many kids before, without taking their chocolates. But this time something seemed different. I realized his angelic baby face was not the only thing special about him. 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。 The boy put ten chocolates on my seat and got off the bus. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Having got the boy’s name, I decided to help him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The boy put ten chocolates on my seat and got off the bus. Seeing his small figure disappear in the busy street, I felt at a loss. “I know the boy.” A voice flew through the frozen air and drew me back to life. Then a man told all of us that the boy was a top student in a primary school nearby, whose mother fell ill due to the heavy work. In order to raise some money for his mother, the boy had been selling chocolates for several weeks. Having got the boy’s name, I decided to help him. I got off the bus at the next stop and took a taxi to his school. Upon arrival, I managed to find the headmaster and handed him $1000, asking him to secretly give the money to the boy who I met selling chocolates on the bus. The headmaster promised to make everything perfect and thanked me on behalf of the boy and his mother. Now, I knew I could go home without shame and regret. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者坐车时给钱给一个卖巧克力的男孩，但却不要巧克力。男孩执意将自己的巧克力给作者并说出让作者倍感意外的话，最终作者决定帮助男孩的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①.由第一段首句内容“男孩在我的座位上放了十块巧克力，然后下了车。”可知，第一段可描写男孩下车后作者的情绪变化以及因为这一幕而引发熟悉的人对男孩家庭情况的介绍。 ②.由第二段首句内容“得知那个男孩的名字后，我决定帮助他。”可知，第二段可描写作者帮助男孩的过程。 2.续写线索：男孩下车——作者茫然——获知男孩情况——决定帮助他——帮助过程——获得感谢 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.放置：put/ place ②.为某人筹集资金：raise money for sb./ collect money for sb. ③.回家：go home/return home 情绪类 ①.羞愧：shame/ abashment ②.懊悔：regret / remorse 【点睛】[高分句型1] Seeing his small figure disappear in the busy street, I felt at a loss.（运用了动名词短语作主语） [高分句型2]..

B As Wang Xueru packed her bag, sharp cramps twisting her stomach, a student silently approached. The girl placed two things into Wang’s hand: a small, folded note and a warm heat patch. Wang unfolded (打开) the paper: “If the sky is cloudy, I will be your sunshine.” In that instant, the classroom walls of Mengla No. 1 High School seemed to glow. The pain and weariness didn’t vanish, but something warmer — a shared kindness — rose to meet it. This quiet moment defined Wang’s year as a volunteer teacher in rural Yunnan. Wang, 22, graduated from the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing with degrees in Chinese literature and international economics. Yet her true passion was service. Guided by her motto — “When poor, cultivate yourself; when successful, help the world” — she led campus volunteer groups and launched online literacy projects. When she applied for the competitive “Go West” Postgraduate Education Supporting Program (only 21 chosen yearly from 50 applicants), her experience shone. She earned her place. Now, far from her coastal hometown of Quanzhou, Wang teaches in mountainous Mengla County. Her classroom holds not just textbooks, but trust. The student’s note wasn’t just comfort; it was a reflection of the connection Wang builds daily. “People might imagine rural teaching means just giving lessons,” Wang might say. “But it’s more. It’s showing up, even when it’s hard. It’s seeing their struggles, and letting them see yours. That note? That was sunshine returned.” Wang understands her role transcends (超越) academics. In Mengla, she cultivates hope — one warm patch, one quiet word of sunshine at a time. 4. Why did the girl give Wang Xueru two things? A. To thank her for excellent teaching. B. To return classroom items she lost. C. To comfort her during physical pain. D. To remind her about the weather. 5. Why was Wang Xueru selected for the “Go West” program? A. She had rich volunteer experience. B. She had top grades in economics. C. She created new teaching methods. D. She could bear difficult conditions. 6. Which of the following best describes Wang Xueru? A. Ambitious and strict. B. Caring and committed. C. Intelligent and quiet. D. Brave and self-reliant. 7. What does Wang Xueru understand rural teaching involves? A. Following school rules strictly. B. Adapting to local weather challenges. C. Focusing on personal achievements. D. More than academic lessons. C Travel is like a box of chocolates — you never know what you’re going to get, especially when you are using a blind box plane ticket. Fan Zhihua, who enjoys going wherever she wants and whenever she wants, bought her first blind box plane ticket in March last year. The 29-year-old went to Zhangye, Gansu Province. It’s a lesser-known place, but it actually brings surprises. When Fan arrived in Zhangye, she found that she was able to share a car with a few other people. This allowed the travelers to save money, since many of the area’s tourist places are far away from each other. So Fan found a group of easy-going young women to join. They went to some tourist places together, but everyone was free to choose their schedule (日程安排). “The best part of the trip is this way of travelling, free and fantastic,” Fan said. She got more from the trip. Before that, Fan thought most of the natural scenery (风景) she saw in photos was over-beautified. However, her trip to Dunhuang changed her mind. After a couple of days in Zhangye, the group decided to leave for Dunhuang. Fan was never a big fan of making travel plans, so she just went along. Fan and her travel pals went on a camel (骆驼) ride, and as they entered the desert, she was amazed at the scenery. “I couldn’t describe it in words. To be honest, I’m not a history lover, but when I was in the endless desert, it was amazing,” Fan said, “I felt like I had become Zhang Qian, traveling to Xiyu.” Fan believes that life itself is a journey made up of long and short trips. “I think I was brought into this world to have as many experiences as possible and that I should make every day meaningful,” she added. 8. What do you know about Fan Zhihua? A. She is a travel lover. B. She often travels with tour groups. C. She has little spare time. D. She is good at making travel plans. 9. Which word can best describe Fan’s trip to Zhangye? A. Short. B. Tiring. C. Expensive. D. Wonderful. 10. What might Fan learn from her trip to Dunhuang? A. It’s now or never. B. Seeing is believing. C. Sharing makes the trip fantastic. D. Actions speak louder than words. 11. Why did Fan mention Zhang Qian? A. To show her respect for him. B. To introduce the story of Zhang Qian. C. To express her amazement at the desert. D. To explain the difficulty of the journey to Xiyu. D Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable, thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, created an AI model that, during a test run in China, correctly forecasted approximately 70 percent of earthquakes with a one-week warning and offered reliable assessments of their potential intensity. The researchers attribute their technique’s effectiveness to its reliance on a straightforward machine learning framework. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet’s low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声). The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震) events. According to Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network, “Seismic occurrences strike without warning, often in the blink of an eye. Your readiness is all you can influence. Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes, reducing both the financial burden and loss of life, and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” Although the effectiveness of this method in different regions remains uncertain, the researchers believe that their AI model has the potential to enhance prediction accuracy when carried out in regions equipped with dependable seismic monitoring facilities. Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, where the University of Texas’s TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Ultimately, the authors aim to combine the system with physics-based models. This approach could be particularly valuable in areas characterized by limited or inadequate data. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 12. How does the AI predict seismic events? A. By using a simple machine learning system. B. By identifying hidden signs in the rumbles. C. By relying on experts’ earthquake knowledge. D. By analyzing data of earthquake recordings. 13. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The restrictions of AI-based methods in earthquake prediction. 14. What does the subsequent research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 15. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical. D. Pioneering and promising. 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。 As is known, Albert Einstein was one of the greatest scientists of all time.

He was not a passenger like me. He was, what we call a street child, an 8-10-year-old kid with a worn T-shirt. These poorly dressed kids were seen almost everywhere in Dhaka city. But what was special about that boy was his face. There was “something” in him that caught my attention. That was an angelic(天使般的)baby face with little care. He got straight into the bus as it stopped at a traffic light. The bus helper shouted at him in the first place. But instead of talking back, the boy kept silent and started handing out a piece of paper to all the passengers. What was written in the paper was, in short, that his father died a couple of years ago. His mother worked at houses. He badly needed money to help his family, so he wished someone warm-hearted to buy chocolates from him. This was nothing new to people who took a bus every day and I was no different. I had my earphones on, listening to some relaxing music to kill time. When he came to me to get the paper back, I casually gave him some money. Thankfully it brought some smiles on his face. He was about to give me ten chocolates in return for the money I gave to him when I stopped him. “I don’t like chocolates, brother. So there is no need of chocolates. You can have the money,” I said. All of a sudden the smile on his face disappeared. “I’m not a beggar. Please take the chocolate, or take your money back.” His straight answer greatly surprised me. I even felt he was slightly angry. I had given money to many kids before without taking their chocolates. But this time something seemed different. I realized his angelic baby face was not the only thing special about him. 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。 The boy put ten chocolates on my seat and got off the bus. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Having got the boy’s name, I decided to help him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
