What is a GPA?
A GPA, or Grade Point Average, typically ranging from one to four, is a number reflecting your course performance on average. It’s used by universities to determine whether students meet academic standards and by students to enhance job prospects or secure admission into post-graduate programs.
How to calculate a GPA?
● Determine the letter grade and the number of credit hours for each course you take in a term;
● Translate the letter grade to grade points using your school’s grading system;
● Multiply the grade points by the credit hours for that course;
● Add up all the credit hours for the courses;
● Divide the total number of grade points by the total credit hours and you get the GPA.

A native of Florida, U.S, Hannah Herbst, 17, uses water power to deal with energy poverty. Herbst has risen to fame with the development of BEACON, an ocean energy probe that seeks to offer a stable power source to developing countries by using untapped energy from ocean currents.
She told Teen Vogue, “I was really involved in theater and athletics and I’m still really into those things. When I was in the seventh grade, I was put into a summer camp. The minute I got there I realized that I was the only girl in the program. I wanted to quit at that moment. But my dad told me, ‘Just try it.’ I tried it for that day and it changed my life.”
“At the camp, we started building the robots, which was something I had never done before but many of the boys had, and I realized it was a platform for problem-solving. We were solving simple tasks like how to push a robot off a platform. Learning from my partners as well as online articles about how to program and build was really interesting to me,” said Herbst.
Later that year, she received a letter from her pen pal, Ruth, who lived in Ethiopia, and learned that she was living in energy poverty with minimal access to electricity and medical supplies. “I knew that I wanted to do something to help, so I created BEACON.” she said.
The device is made from 90% recycled materials easily found throughout the world, including 2-liter bottles and recycled spoons. It costs $12 to make and can produce enough electricity to power an LED light. Hannah imagines BEACON being used in developing countries to power pumps for fresh water and she is working on polishing it to get it available to people all over the world.
24. What can we know about Hannah Herbst in the second and third paragraphs?
A. She just liked to learn how to build robots.
B. She wanted to stay here because she is the only girl.
C. She learned at least two techniques during the camp.
D. She was attracted to the summer camp right from the start.
25. How did Hannah Herbst feel after she received a letter from her pen pal?
A. indifferent B. shocked C. light-hearted D. sympathetic
26. What can we learn about BEACON from the article?
A. It costs 12 dollars each and still remains to be improved.
B. It is recyclable and available to people across the world.
C. It has been used in developing countries to power pumps.
D. The electricity it generates can be used with many traditional lamps.
27. Which section in the magazine might this passage come from?
A. Affairs B. Personage C. Science D. Economics
C
Researchers have observed Florida carpenter ants biting off the injured legs of their companions.
These surgeries are the first known example of non-human animals performing amputations(截肢) to improve a fellow animal’s chances of recovering, the researchers say. “Not only can they do this, but they are even able to check the wounds and, depending on the location, adapt the treatment accordingly,” says Erik Frank, an ant researcher. The ants are territorial (有领土意识的) and might sustain injuries while defending their homes. So, the researchers wondered if the species had methods for dealing with infected wounds.
They discovered that when a worker ant injured its leg’s upper part, companions would perform amputations. These other ants would then spend about six minutes on average biting at the upper part until it came off. “I find it striking to what extent they take concerted (同心协力的) action in this amputation event,” Frank says. “You can see it presenting the injured leg, and the other ant, for many minutes at a time, is biting it violently and the injured ant doesn’t seem to complain.”
The researchers wondered if the amputations could serve to prevent infections. To test this, they wounded some ants’ legs. They isolated(隔离) some, ensuring they would receive no care, performed their own amputations on others and returned a third group to the colony. The experiments showed ants with upper-leg injuries that were isolated died about 60% of the time, while ants that received surgeries, either from the researchers or from fellow ants, almost always lived. The experiments also confirmed the ants didn’t perform amputations for those with lower-leg injuries. But the others would lick (舔舐) the wounds. They had an approximately 75% survival rate, compared to a 15% survival rate for isolated ants with lower-leg injuries.
Florida carpenter ants have muscles responsible for blood circulation in their upper legs, so upper-leg injuries could reduce circulation. Lower circulation would, in turn, reduce the spread of infection, buying the ants time to perform amputations. The researchers found amputations for lower-leg wounds only improved survival chances if they were performed immediately. The ants don’t perform blanket amputation on any injury-they only do so when it’d make sense.
28. Why do the ants bite off the injured legs of their companions?
A. To save their lives. B. To compete for territory.
C. To check their injuries. D. To force them to work.
29. What’s Frank’s opinion about the injured ants receiving an amputation?
A. They’re unwilling. B. They know nothing about it.
C. They enjoy it so much. D. They’re cooperative.
30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning the amputation?
A. Different roles ants play in it. B. Actions each ant makes for it.
C. The various death rates it causes. D. The experiments about its function.
31. What can be inferred about the ants’ amputations to their companions?
A. They often fail to achieve their goals. B. They amputate the lower part of the leg.
C. They perform them with strong targeting. D. They often injure themselves while doing so.
D
Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money, the research has shown.
Penny-pinching UK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidl rather than luxury alternatives
This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK. It has shrunk from £1.19 billion in 2021 to £1.12 billion in 2023, according to a new report from the market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall further to £1.11 billion in 2026.
In the last year alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2%, with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from £43 in 2022 to £41 in 2023.
Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper — including facial tissue and kitchen roll — to save money. “Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality” said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. “Extra features like flowers and perfume smells are deemed unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer.”
While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fastidious — in theory at least — when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons’ toilet paper wish list is softness (57%) followed by strength (45%) and thickness (36%).
One in ten buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting that the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufacturers, 81% of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.
32. What will the development trend of the tissue paper market look like in the future?
A. It will remain depressing. B. It will expand in time.
C. It will be unpredictable. D. It will recover as population grows.
33. What does Jack Duckett think about toilet paper?
A. Consumers are loyal to certain brands.
B. Special offers would promote its sales.
C. Luxurious features add much to the price.
D. Consumers are more likely to choose toilet paper of better quality.
34. Which of the words below can best explain the underlined word in the sixth paragraph?
A. casual B. picky C. uncertain D. mean
35. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. More and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protect the environment.
B. Toilet paper manufacturers are facing a great challenge in promoting its sales.
C. Toilet paper manufacturers compete with one another to improve product quality.
D. Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper.

On Sunday, Mike and his mother Rose went to Grandma Alondra’s house for lunch.

Rose nudged (用肘轻推) Mike. “Thank - thanks, Gran,” he said with a sigh (叹气) . “Will you, um, be my date tonight? I want to make your dream come true. . . I want to take you to the prom.”

I'm leaving this message and answer to your questions about the business studies course. Firstly, you asked when the core starts. IT begins on the twelve of june and finishes on the eleven of july. At the beginning of the course, there are no lectures because we spend time watching business videos, so you won't need to bring anything for the class as everything is provided. Don't forget, however, that although you can bring your own nobo computer if you wish, mobile phones are not allowed in the classroom. I am afraid these can disturbed the classes. You said you are coming by car well, as its only a short course, you can use the visitors car park, which is just beside the main entrance. We are only a short walk away. Just turn right after the science center, cross the staff car park and you'll see the door to the business studies department in front of you. Finally, you also wanted to know if it's possible to attend the language course while you are here. Well, the answer is yes, but we only have room on our italian classes. Oh, no. Actually, there is one place on the spanish course too. We usually offer french, chinese, german and japanese as well, but there aren't enough students for those classes this summer. If you want to apply for the course, please sign up before the fifth of june. Thank you. Hello, this is Greenhill studies college.

What is a GPA?
A GPA, or Grade Point Average, typically ranging from one to four, is a number reflecting your course performance on average. It’s used by universities to determine whether students meet academic standards and by students to enhance job prospects or secure admission into post-graduate programs.
How to calculate a GPA?
● Determine the letter grade and the number of credit hours for each course you take in a term;
● Translate the letter grade to grade points using your school’s grading system;
● Multiply the grade points by the credit hours for that course;
● Add up all the credit hours for the courses;
● Divide the total number of grade points by the total credit hours and you get the GPA.

A native of Florida, U.S, Hannah Herbst, 17, uses water power to deal with energy poverty. Herbst has risen to fame with the development of BEACON, an ocean energy probe that seeks to offer a stable power source to developing countries by using untapped energy from ocean currents.
She told Teen Vogue “I was really involved in theater and athletics and I’m still really into those things. When I was in the seventh grade, I was put into a summer camp. The minute I got there I realized that I was the only girl in the program. I wanted to quit at that moment. But my dad told me, ‘Just try it.’ I tried it for that day and it changed my life.”
“At the camp, we started building the robots, which was something I had never done before but many of the boys had, and I realized it was a platform for problem-solving. We were solving simple tasks like how to push a robot off a platform. Learning from my partners as well as online articles about how to program and build was really interesting to me,” said Herbst.
Later that year, she received a letter from her pen pal, Ruth, who lived in Ethiopia, and learned that she was living in energy poverty with minimal access to electricity and medical supplies. “I knew that I wanted to do something to help, so I created BEACON.” she said.
The device is made from 90% recycled materials easily found throughout the world, including 2-liter bottles and recycled spoons. It costs $12 to make and can produce enough electricity to power an LED light. Hannah imagines BEACON being used in developing countries to power pumps for fresh water and she is working on polishing it to get it available to people all over the world.
24. What can we know about Hannah Herbst in the second and third paragraphs?
A. She just liked to learn how to build robots.
B. She wanted to stay here because she is the only girl.
C. She learned at least two techniques during the camp.
D. She was attracted to the summer camp right from the start.
25. How did Hannah Herbst feel after she received a letter from her pen pal?
A. indifferent B. shocked C. light-hearted D. sympathetic
26. What can we learn about BEACON from the article?
A. It costs 12 dollars each and still remains to be improved.
B. It is recyclable and available to people across the world.
C. It has been used in developing countries to power pumps.
D. The electricity it generates can be used with many traditional lamps.
27. Which section in the magazine might this passage come from?
A. Affairs B. Personage C. Science D. Economics
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了汉娜·赫斯特利用海洋能源解决能源贫困的故事。

We were solving simple tasks like how to push a robot off a platform. Learning from my partners as well as online articles about how to program and build was really interesting to me,” said Herbst. (“在营地,我们开始制作机器人,这是我以前从未做过的事情,但很多男孩都做过,我意识到这是一个解决问题的平台。我们解决了一些简单的任务,比如如何把机器人推下平台。从我的合作伙伴以及在线文章中学习如何编程和构建对我来说真的很有趣,”赫布斯特说)”可知,汉娜·赫斯特在夏令营期间至少学到了两项技能,即编程和机器人制作。故选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段中“Later that year, she received a letter from her pen pal, Ruth, who lived in Ethiopia, and learned that she was living in energy poverty with minimal access to electricity and medical supplies. “I knew that I wanted to do something to help, so I created BEACON.” she said. (那年晚些时候,她收到了住在埃塞俄比亚的笔友露丝的来信,得知她生活在能源匮乏的环境中,几乎没有电力和医疗用品。“我知道我想做点什么来帮助他们,所以我创建了BEACON。”她说)”可知,汉娜·赫斯特在收到笔友的来信后,了解到笔友生活在能源匮乏的环境中,这让她感到同情,并决定制作BEACON来帮助解决这个问题。故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“The device is made from 90% recycled materials easily found throughout the world, including 2-liter bottles and recycled spoons. It costs $12 to make and can produce enough electricity to power an LED light. Hannah imagines BEACON being used in developing countries to power pumps for fresh water and she is working on polishing it to get it available to people all over the world. (该装置由90%的回收材料制成,这些材料在世界各地都很容易找到,包括2升的瓶子和回收的勺子。它的制造成本为12美元,并能产生足够的电力来驱动一盏LED灯。汉娜设想,BEACON可以在发展中国家用于为淡水泵提供动力,她正在对其进行改进,以便让全世界的人都能使用它)”可知,BEACON是由90%的回收材料制成的,每个造价12美元,仍需改进,且汉娜希望它能被用于发展中国家为淡水泵提供动力。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段“A native of Florida, U.S, Hannah Herbst, 17, uses water power to deal with energy poverty. Herbst has risen to fame with the development of BEACON, an ocean energy probe that seeks to offer a stable power source to developing countries by using untapped energy from ocean currents. (17岁的汉娜·赫布斯特(Hannah Herbst)是美国佛罗里达州人,她利用水力来解决能源短缺问题。赫布斯特因开发BEACON而声名鹊起。BEACON是一种海洋能源探测器,旨在利用洋流中未开发的能源,为发展中国家提供稳定的能源)”可知,文章主要讲述了汉娜·赫斯特利用海洋能源解决能源贫困的故事,因此这篇文章可能来自杂志的“人物”版块。故选B。
C
Researchers have observed Florida carpenter ants biting off the injured legs of their companions.
These surgeries are the first known example of non-human animals performing amputations(截肢) to improve a fellow animal’s chances of recovering, the researchers say. “Not only can they do this, but they are even able to check the wounds and, depending on the location, adapt the treatment accordingly,” says Erik Frank, an ant researcher. The ants are territorial (有领土意识的) and might sustain injuries while defending their homes. So, the researchers wondered if the species had methods for dealing with infected wounds.
They discovered that when a worker ant injured its leg’s upper part, companions would perform amputations. These other ants would then spend about six minutes on average biting at the upper part until it came off. “I find it striking to what extent they take concerted (同心协力的) action in this amputation event,” Frank says. “You can see it presenting the injured leg, and the other ant, for many minutes at a time, is biting it violently and the injured ant doesn’t seem to complain.”
The researchers wondered if the amputations could serve to prevent infections. To test this, they wounded some ants’ legs. They isolated(隔离) some, ensuring they would receive no care, performed their own amputations on others and returned a third group to the colony. The experiments showed ants with upper-leg injuries that were isolated died about 60% of the time, while ants that received surgeries, either from the researchers or from fellow ants, almost always lived. The experiments also confirmed the ants didn’t perform amputations for those with lower-leg injuries. But the others would lick (舔舐) the wounds. They had an approximately 75% survival rate, compared to a 15% survival rate for isolated ants with lower-leg injuries.
Florida carpenter ants have muscles responsible for blood circulation in their upper legs, so upper-leg injuries could reduce circulation. Lower circulation would, in turn, reduce the spread of infection, buying the ants time to perform amputations. The researchers found amputations for lower-leg wounds only improved survival chances if they were performed immediately. The ants don’t perform blanket amputation on any injury-they only do so when it’d make sense.
28. Why do the ants bite off the injured legs of their companions?
A. To save their lives. B. To compete for territory.
C. To check their injuries. D. To force them to work.
29. What’s Frank’s opinion about the injured ants receiving an amputation?
A. They’re unwilling. B. They know nothing about it.
C. They enjoy it so much. D. They’re cooperative.
30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning the amputation?
A. Different roles ants play in it. B. Actions each ant makes for it.
C. The various death rates it causes. D. The experiments about its function.
31. What can be inferred about the ants’ amputations to their companions?
A. They often fail to achieve their goals. B. They amputate the lower part of the leg.
C. They perform them with strong targeting. D. They often injure themselves while doing so.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。研究人员发现,佛罗里达州木匠蚂蚁对受伤的同伴进行截肢,以提高同伴的生存率。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“These surgeries are the first known example of non-human animals performing amputations (截肢) to improve a fellow animal’s chances of recovering, the researchers say.(研究人员说,这些手术是第一个已知的非人类动物通过截肢来提高同伴动物恢复的机会的例子)”可知,蚂蚁会咬掉同伴受伤的腿是为了挽救对方的生命。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段““I find it striking to what extent they take concerted (同心协力的) action in this amputation event,” Frank says. “You can see it presenting the injured leg, and the other ant, for many minutes at a time, is biting it violently and the injured ant doesn’t seem to complain.”(弗兰克说:“我发现他们在截肢事件中采取一致行动的程度令人震惊。你可以看到它拿出受伤的腿,另一只蚂蚁猛烈地咬了它好几分钟,而受伤的蚂蚁似乎没有抱怨。”)”可知,Frank认为受伤的蚂蚁进行截肢手术是十分配合的。故选D。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“They isolated(隔离) some, ensuring they would receive no care, performed their own amputations on others and returned a third group to the colony. The experiments showed ants with upper-leg injuries that were isolated died about 60% of the time, while ants that received surgeries, either from the researchers or from fellow ants, almost always lived. The experiments also confirmed the ants didn’t perform amputations for those with lower-leg injuries. But the others would lick (舔舐) the wounds. They had an approximately 75% survival rate, compared to a 15% survival rate for isolated ants with lower-leg injuries.(他们隔离了一些蚂蚁,确保它们不接受任何治疗,对其他蚂蚁进行了截肢手术,并将第三组蚂蚁送回了隔离区。实验表明,被隔离的上肢受伤的蚂蚁有60%的几率死亡,而无论是从研究人员那里还是从其他蚂蚁那里接受手术的蚂蚁,几乎都能活下来。实验还证实,蚂蚁不会对下肢受伤的蚂蚁进行截肢手术。但其他蚂蚁会舔舐伤口。它们大约有75%的存活率,相比之下,孤立的蚂蚁下肢受伤的存活率为15%)”可知,文章第四段讲述了关于蚂蚁截肢功能性的实验。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The ants don’t perform blanket amputation on any injury-they only do so when it’d make sense.(蚂蚁不会对任何损伤进行“地毯式截肢”——它们只会在有意义的时候这样做)”可知,蚂蚁对受伤的同伴截肢有很强的针对性。故选C。
D
Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money, the research has shown.
Penny-pinching UK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidl rather than luxury alternatives.
This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK. It has shrunk from £1.19 billion in 2021 to £1.12 billion in 2023, according to a new report from the market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall further to £1.11 billion in 2026.
In the last year alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2%, with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from £43 in 2022 to £41 in 2023.
Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper — including facial tissue and kitchen roll — to save money. “Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality” said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. “Extra features like flowers and perfume smells are deemed unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer.”
While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fastidious — in theory at least — when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons’ toilet paper wish list is softness (57%) followed by strength (45%) and thickness (36%).
One in ten buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting that the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufacturers, 81% of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.
32. What will the development trend of the tissue paper market look like in the future?
A. It will remain depressing. B. It will expand in time.
C. It will be unpredictable. D. It will recover as population grows.
33. What does Jack Duckett think about toilet paper?
A. Consumers are loyal to certain brands.
B. Special offers would promote its sales.
C. Luxurious features add much to the price.
D. Consumers are more likely to choose toilet paper of better quality.
34. Which of the words below can best explain the underlined word in the sixth paragraph?
A. casual B. picky C. uncertain D. mean
35. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. More and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protect the environment.
B. Toilet paper manufacturers are facing a great challenge in promoting its sales.
C. Toilet paper manufacturers compete with one another to improve product quality.
D. Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国消费者在节省花费下对厕纸消费的变化趋势及市场挑战。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall further to £1.11 billion in 2026.(此外,市场的未来看起来远非乐观,预计2026年的销售额将进一步降至11.1亿英镑)”可知,未来的市场前景不好,估计2016年销售额将进一步降至11.1亿英镑,即它将继续是令人沮丧的。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Extra features like flowers and perfume smells are deemed unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer.(大多数购物者认为鲜花和香水味等额外功能是不必要的,这可能反映了这些类型的产品通常比普通卫生纸更贵,即使在特价时也是如此)”可知,Jack Duckett认为鲜花和香水味等额外功能使得这些类型的产品通常比普通卫生纸更贵,即豪华的功能大大增加了卫生纸的价格。故选C。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第六段“While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fastidious — in theory at least — when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons’ toilet paper wish list is softness (57%) followed by strength (45%) and thickness (36%).(虽然消费者在卫生纸上的支出减少了,但至少在理论上,他们在纸张质量方面仍然fastidious。英国人最想要的卫生纸是柔软度(57%),其次是强度(45%)和厚度(36%))”可知,英国人想要的卫生纸的柔软度、强度和厚度都有明确的标准,由此可推知,英国人在纸张质量方面仍然是挑剔的,划线单词意为“挑剔的”,与picky意义相近。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“One in ten buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting that the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufacturers, 81% of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.(十分之一的买家将再生纸制成的卫生纸列为他们的首要考虑因素,强调对购物者来说,环境远不如产品质量重要。在制造商面临的挑战中,81%的纸制品用户表示,如果再生卫生纸的质量与标准纸相当,他们会考虑购买再生卫生纸)”可知,在质量相当的前提下,很多纸制品购买者会考虑购买再生卫生纸,由此可推知,当英国人购买卫生纸时,环境保护并不是一个太大的考虑因素。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国算盘作为传统文化的重要部分,其历史、功能及传承情况。
【66题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国算盘是中国传统文化的重要组成部分,象征着世代积累的知识和数学实践。本句谓语为is,此处为非谓语动词,且knowledge与accumulate“积累”为被动关系,应用过去分词,作后置定语。故填accumulated。
【67题详解】
考查冠词。句意:使用算盘的做法,即珠算,是一种独特而古老的算术计算方法。method为可数名词,此处表示泛指“一种方法”,且unique为辅音音素开头的单词,用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。

【69题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在中文中,“珠”意味着珠子,它是算盘的一个重要部分。本空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Zhu,指物,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【70题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这个2.11厘米宽的木珠看起来和今天使用的珠子一样,可以追溯到1108年,即宋朝(960-1279年)。本句谓语为looks like,此处为非谓语动词,且bead与date back to“追溯到”为主动关系,应用现在分词,作状语。故填dating。

【72题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:由于算盘具有计算速度快、使用方便、功能强大等特点,它被称为“世界上最古老的计算机”。根据定冠词the和比较范围in the world可知,此处应用形容词最高级oldest“最古老的”,修饰名词computer。故填oldest。

【74题详解】
考查动词语态和主谓一致。句意:几百年来,它一直通过传统的口传教学和自学方式代代相传。设空处为句子谓语,结合后文“across generations by traditional methods of oral teaching and self-learning for centuries”可知,hand“传,递”这一动作开始于过去,持续到现在,句子时态应用现在完成时,且主语it与hand构成被动关系,应用现在完成时的被动语态,又因主语It是第三人称单数,所以助动词用has。故填has been handed。
【75题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:几百年来,它一直通过传统的口传教学和自学方式代代相传。century“世纪”为可数名词,此处不止一个世纪,应用复数形式centuries,作for的宾语。故填centuries。

Will AI Lead Us to a Better Future?
With the rapid development of technology, artificial intelligence is now everywhere in our daily life—from smart home to driverless car. Some people hold that AI will lead us to a better future while others are against it.
As we all know, AI has brought remarkable benefits to education and daily routines. On the one hand, it can improve our learning efficiency. On the other hand,voice assistant helps us control lights, play music, and check weather with simple voice commands, making life easier. However, everything has two sides. Some people are concerned that AI will replace the jobs of humans, which leads to unemployment. Moreover, relying too much on AI makes us become lazier and weakens our problem-solving abilities.
In my view, AI is just a tool. Its value depends on how we use it. I firmly believe that AI will lead us to a better future. Let’s embrace AI and make good use of it.

On Sunday, Mike and his mother Rose went to Grandma Alondra’s house for lunch. Alondra had prepared Mike’s favorite meal. “Mike’s school prom (舞会) is approaching, Mum,” Rose told Alondra. “Do you still have that tailor’s contact who owned that old shop in town? I want to get a suit tailored for Mike. ” “Oh! I do! ” Alondra laughed. “So, Mike, who’s going to be your date? ” she asked. “Nobody. I haven’t found anyone. So, I might not go, ” Mike said, his eyes fixed on his phone.
Alondra said, “You kids are so lucky to have the prom and everything. I’ve never gone to one! ” “Really, Mum? ” Rose asked with a surprised look. “Well, yes. But that’s an old, old story! Let’s not go there, ” Alondra said. “The thing is, Mike, you should definitely go and have a good time. ”
It was then that Rose had an idea. She asked Mike to take Alondra as his date to the prom. Mike disliked the idea. As a teenager, and as the most popular boy at school, he didn’t want to take his grandmother to the prom. He was afraid the other students would laugh at him. However, he couldn’t find a reason to turn this down. Not a single one. Most importantly, he loved Alondra.
So, on the afternoon of prom day, Mike and Rose drove to Alondra’s house. When the older woman opened her door to Mike in a suit, she smiled. “Oh! Look how beautiful you look, darling!” she said. Rose nudged (用肘轻推) Mike. “Thank - thanks, Gran,” he said with a sigh (叹气) . “Will you, um, be my date tonight? I want to make your dream come true. . . I want to take you to the prom.”
Alondra was both surprised and excited. While she didn’t want to go, Rose had persuaded her that it would be a great bonding (联络感情的) time for her and Mike. So, Alondra put on her finest dress and went to the prom with Mike.

【答案】
As Mike walked into the school hall with his grandmother, the whole place fell silent. As all eyes locked onto him in disbelief, Mike could practically feel the weight of their stares. There was laughter in the air, but he did his best to brush it off. Still, he couldn’t shake off the embarrassment. Then, a girl’s voice cut through the tension: “Isn’t it kind of cool that Mike brought his grandmother?” Another agreed, “Yeah, it’s sweet.” And when one girl approached Alondra and praised her dress, Alondra felt a rush of warmth fill her heart.
Seeing Alondra was welcomed, Mike was relieved, and soon the party got started. Alondra turned out to be a star on the dance floor, even challenging some of the teenagers. She and Mike teamed up for the fun games, defeating everyone! She also shared a dance with the school director. As they headed home, Alondra couldn’t contain her excitement: “This is so much fun, Mike! Thanks for bringing me. It’s the best, best day of my life!” Seeing her bright smile, Mike realized he’d made the right call. Making your grandparents happy is the least you can do.
