Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. (A) On Dec. 26, when Gelinne, 60, was gazing out the back windows of his home in Edgewater, he saw a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, losing altitude. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy commander and current cybersecurity expert, realized it was going to land in the stream. He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Sept. 11, 2001. Gelinne was at work in the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., when terrorists crashed a jumbo jet into the building. He fled the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. “To the right was the crisis, and to the left was escape. I don’t even know if I could’ve gone right, but I went left,” he recalled. “I always second-guessed myself about that decision.” On this day, Gelinne didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront. The plane was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his Navy training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he and his son, John Jr., pulled two kayaks (皮划艇) out from under their back deck. The two men set off, pushing their boats across the ice. It was exhausting work. When Gelinne reached the plane, the pilot was standing on a tail wing, submerged up to his chest, surrounded by open water. Gelinne pushed his kayak off the ice and into the water, paddling toward the pilot and thinking, What if he panics? What if I flip? With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Now the two men were floating together, but Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the water and up onto the shelf of unbroken ice behind him before the man lost too much body heat. But each time Gelinne tried to land atop the ice shelf, the kayak broke through. By now a boat from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources appeared, breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot and swiftly transported him to safety. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, now exhausted, to shore. The rescuers had arrived just in time, Gelinne recalled. “I’m 60 years old,” he says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day. 36. The author describes Gelinne’s experience on September 11, 2001, mainly to ________. A. illustrate the source of his guilt and how it fueled his determination this time B. show his experience in the military made him qualified for rescue operations C. emphasize the psychological trauma of the event had impacted him negatively D. suggest individuals have the moral obligation to assist others in crisis 37. The underlined word “second-guessed” most likely means________ in the context. A. completely forgave B. strongly doubted C. constantly consulted D. passionately defended 38. What were the challenges Gelinne faced in the rescue attempt? ①the sinking plane ②the broken kayaks ③the drowning pilot ④his panicked son ⑤the icy water A ①②③ B. ①③⑤ C. ①④⑤ D. ②③④ 39. Which of the following may serve as the best title for the passage? A A pilot’s icy survival: a plane crash on frozen creek B. A veteran’s attempt: overcoming past regret with a brave act C. A family’s highlight moment: how united rescue saved a life D. Navy training in action: an emergency rescue operation saves life (B) The card worth paying for THE SHOP It is a membership card that is offered by THE SHOP Shopping Mall.

Businesses, particularly those employing AI algorithms, rely on data more than ever to drive success. However, a challenge that has arisen is ensuring the data used is reliable, objective, and ethically sourced. Concerns are mounting over the use of shady data sources and “black-box” collection methods, where businesses are unsure of how the data was sourced, raising ethical and legal issues. Rachel Aldighieri of the Data and Marketing Association (DMA) stresses that ethical practices in data collection are essential, especially as businesses increasingly use AI to automate decision-making processes. Inappropriate data usage can lead to inaccurate AI models and prejudiced outcomes. Stephen Lester, CTO at Paragon, echoes this sentiment, noting that companies should use open methods to collect data, ensuring participants know how their data is being used and that they receive proper payment. To follow data protection rules, businesses should balance their needs with individuals’ rights. This helps ensure they have the right permissions to use collected data, building customer trust and reducing legal risks. They should also consult resources like the DMA Code for guidance on ethical data practices. However, obtaining reliable data isn’t always straightforward. Open-source datasets are available, but they often lack quality controls and safeguards against bias. Synthetic data, generated by AI, offers an alternative, allowing companies to train AI models without risking real individuals’ privacy. Although synthetic data isn’t linked to real people, businesses must be cautious about potential inaccuracies. A notable tool in this space is MIT’s Synthetic Data Vault, which helps generate synthetic data for a variety of enterprise use cases. Despite its usefulness, there remain concerns about the accuracy of such data when used for critical AI training. Chris Stephenson from Sagacity highlights the importance of training AI models with error-checking mechanisms. He notes that while synthetic data can be useful, businesses must remain careful about how algorithms are trained, paying close attention to the potential for mistakes or biases to slip through unnoticed. As ethical concerns rise, businesses are expected to carefully review their data collection practices. They should know where their data comes from, avoid unreliable sources, and ensure data used in AI models is accurate and fair. Ultimately, organizations must be open and accountable in their data practices to remain trustworthy. 43. What does the phrase “echoes this sentiment” in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Agrees with clear and ethical data practices. B. Disapproves of the views on data collection. C. Questions the use of open data collection methods. D. Ignores the ethical concerns surrounding AI and data. 44. What can be learned from paragraphs 3 and 4? A. There are tools to ensure data accuracy. B. Reliable data is extremely hard to obtain. C. Ethical data practices lack clear definitions. D. Synthetic data should generally be restricted. 45. Which of the following statements is Chris Stephenson most likely to agree with? A. Error-checking tools are already mature for practical use. B. Data protection rules should be prioritized over data accuracy. C. Mistakes may remain undetected during the training of AI models. D. Synthetic data is the best way to collect data for AI model training. 46. What is the main idea of the passage? A Synthetic data solves most ethical concerns associated with AI. B. Data collection practices in Al have limited ethical implications. C. Ethical data collection and accuracy are essential for responsible AI usage. D. Businesses should prioritize using as much data as possible for AI training. Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Is Tom Really the Natural Enemy of Jerry? I’ve seen such scenes for many times — some cats are not interested in catching mice, and even seem genuinely afraid of mice. How can a natural hunter be like this? Are mice really more aggressive now? ____47____ Some cats hunt and kill, others play with prey before killing it, and some, like mine, scamper up the stairs wailing at their own shadow. All cats, like people, have personalities and preferences. Moreover, it has much to do with the environment whether a cat is a qualified mice hunter. When cats live indoors and are not exposed to hunting or game, they may ignore mice. While they have natural hunting instincts, most cats are not professional mice hunters. Cats which live in a house are usually well-fed and will only pursue mice for fun. ____48____ However, cats have lightning-fast reflexes (本能反应) and frequently leap before they realize why, especially if something resembles the way a snake moves. ____49____ The truth is, they may never see one if they’ve always been in the house. Cats are highly alert to other creatures that could damage or kill them. Rats, on the other hand, are even more dangerous. A giant rat is not prey that a cat would pursue. The rats’ bite could injure or infect the cat with a deadly disease. What can we do to naturally keep away from mice? Regarding which cat is the best for hunting mice, the cat breed is unimportant. ____50____ Get two of them, but ensure you are feeding them and providing them with medical treatment rather than simply employing them to kill mice and failing to care for them properly. A. A shelter cat which had previously lived outside is a good choice. B. Actually, it is mainly dependent on the cat. C. If they’ve never seen one, they’re correct to be suspicious! D. That is to say, if the cat is full, curiosity is the only motivation to deal with a moving creature. E. Most of the time, it’s not that the cat is afraid of such creatures. F. Cats are intelligent when deciding which target to follow and which to avoid. Ⅳ. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. These days our society develops rapidly and forces people to rush. It appears that people have got used to being in a hurry. However, it is better for people to take their time and live their life at a slower pace than to hurry to get things done. The main reason that convinces us to oppose doing work in a hurry is the possibility of doing wrongs in a rush. When people do their jobs or take actions in a hurry, they cannot make a sound decision and probably regret later. As the saying goes, “Haste makes waste. ” We should think carefully before making a decision and do our work less quickly. We should not make mistakes by doing work hurriedly. Slowing down the pace of life helps people enjoy their life better. For example, taking a train to some place certainly will take more time than taking a plane. However, taking a train makes people have enough time to get to know a lot of new friends. Besides, it allows people to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. On the contrary, being in a hurry will make us lose chances in enjoying our life. Finally, slower life pace provides better healthy conditions for us. As is known to all, taking actions in a hurry bothers people and raises their stress. People think if they are not in a hurry, they will become a loser and that annoys them. Being in a hurry can hurt people both physically and mentally. According to some studies, people who have a slower pace suffer fewer diseases, tend to be happier and live much longer than those whose life is tense, even if the former finish jobs more slowly than the latter. In short, working quickly will bring about more material benefits to make our society more advanced. However, much stress can’t bring enjoyment, friends and health, which are much more important than money and other material advantages. Therefore, take your time and live your life at a slower pace. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ⅴ.
