When I first picked up a fountain pen,I couldn't understand why anyone would bother with
such an outdated instrument.My grandfather's eyes lit up like a child discovering a hidden treasure.
To him,the act of writing wasn't just about putting words on paper-it was a sacred
practice.Writing was about carefully crafting thoughts and communicating them with precision()
and care.As a teenager in the digital age,I found the leaking ink and the scratchy nib()more of
an annoyance than anything else.
But my view began to change when I cleaned out his roof space last summer.While sorting
through boxes,I came across a wooden box filled with letters-not just letters he had received,but
drafts of his own.One letter,written to the local mayor about the closure of a neighborhood park,
wasn't just a list of complaints.Instead,he had captured the scene of elderly men playing chess in
the shade,the distant sound of children laughing,and the general peaceful atmosphere of the area.
The writing was both elegant and firm,urging the mayor to consider the value of community spaces.
It was then that I understood.My grandfather didn't write simply to communicate information
His letters were a labor of love and respect,intended to give the reader the time and attention they
deserved.He wasn't writing for quick exchange,as I often did with my text messages,but for lasting
impact.
I began using that old fountain pen again.At first,my hand seized up,and I found it frustrating
to write at the pace my thoughts raced.But gradually,the slow ink flow forced me to slow down and
think deeply about every word.Writing became more than just a task-it became a way of truly
reflecting on my thoughts,my emotions,and my words.
24.How did the author initially find using a fountain pen?
A.Troublesome and messy.
B.Exciting and creative.
C.Fascinating but pointless.
D.Confusing but acceptable
25.Why did the author change his attitude toward the fountain pen?
A.He found valuable birthday gifts
B.He discovered his grandfather's letters.
C.He realized the artistic beauty of writing.
D.He experienced playing chess with elders.
26.What's the significance of"slow ink flow"to the author in the last paragraph?
A.A screen for reflection
B.A cure for loneliness
C.A source of inspiration.
D.A symbol of tradition.

Every time AI drafts an e-mail or an image,the planet pays for it.Making two images can
consume as much energy as charging a smartphone.By 2027,the global AI industry could annually
consume as much electricity as the Netherlands.And a new study identifies another concern:
generative AI applications alone could add 1.2 million to 5 million tons of harmful trash to the planet
by2030.
Such a contribution would add to the tens of millions of tons of electronic products the globe
abandons annually.Cell phones,computers and other digital products often contain mercury(),
lead or other poisons.When improperly disposed()of,they can pollute air,water and soil.In
2022,about 78%of the world's e-waste end up in landfills or at unofficial recycling sites,where
laborers risk their health to clean up rare metals.
The AI boom rapidly consumes data storage devices and high-performance components,which
are usually replaced when new versions are available.To calculate the e-waste contribution.
researchers examined hardware use,lifespan,and the industry's growth rate.Their prediction is an
estimate that could change based on various factors.
This study's biggest value comes from its attention to AI's broad environmental impacts,says
Shaolei Ren,a researcher at the University of Califomia,Riverside."We might want AI companies
to slow down a bit,"he says.
Few countries mandate()the proper disposal of e-waste,and those that do often fail to
carry out their existing laws on it.Twenty-five U.S.states have e-waste management policies,but
there is no federal law that requires electronics recycling.
Thankfully,some companies claim to be taking independent action.Microsoft and Google have
committed to reaching net zero waste and net zero emissions respectively by 2030.They have many
options to limit e-waste.It's possible to squeeze more life out of servers,for instance,through
regular maintenance and updates or by shifting worn-out devices to less-intensive applications.
These strategies are vital to reduce e-waste and benefit society,the study authors estimate.
32.What problem does Paragraph 1 present?
A.The Netherlands consumes too much electricity.
B.The disadvantages of AI outweigh the advantages.
C.The environmental footprint of AI is alarmingly extensive.
D.AI's energy-related issues largely result from image-making.
33.What is Shaolei Ren's attitude toward the growth of AI companies?
A.Indifferent.
B.Cautious.
C.Positive.
D.Ambiguous.
34.What is the key to reducing e-waste?
A.Prioritizing smartphone recycling
B.Adjusting AI application frequency
C.Banning the overuse of AI completely
D.Adopting device-lifespan-extending measures.

35.Which one is the best title for the text?
A.AI May Worsen the E-waste Crisis.
B.E-waste Calls for Proper Use of AI.
C.E-waste Problems Mostly Blame on AI.
D.AI and E-waste Always Go Hand in Hand.

67.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I moved into a new neighborhood with my two lovely dogs,people in the neighborhood
warned me about my next-door neighbor,Mr.Henderson,a retired man.Everyone in the community
thought he was bad-tempered and difficult to get along with,as he disliked noisy pets and would get
annoyed over small matters.Having lost his wife years earlier,he had lived alone for a long time,
growing quiet,cold and distant from all his neighbors.
I soon felt Mr.Henderson's cold attitude myself after settling down.Whenever I greeted him
with a smile,he would merely glance at me and walk off in silence.The only time he approached me
was to complain that my dogs'constant barking ruined his peace.At one point,he even warned me
seriously that he would call the police if I couldn't keep my dogs under control.Hoping to avoid
trouble,I tried hard to keep my dogs quiet and kept them away from his property as much as possible
Even so,a cold,unspoken divide always lay between us.

One freezing winter afternoon,overnight snow had covered the whole neighborhood,leaving
the sidewalk coated with slippery ice.The bitter cold kept most people indoors,making the streets
unusually quiet.I was busy with housework inside my house,while my dogs wandered and played in
the fenced yard.All was calm until my dogs suddenly broke into sharp,desperate barks,nothing like
their usual playful noise.
Shocked at their strange reaction,I rushed to the window to check.I spotted my dogs circling
anxiously around a figure on the icy sidewalk.I leaned forward and realized it was Mr.Henderson.
He must have slipped on the frozen pavement and taken a hard fall.Completely alone in the biting
wind,he lay there lifelessly.Great concern flooded my mind,as I knew he would face serious risks
from the freezing weather if no one helped him right away.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150字左右:
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Without hesitation,I rushed out to give a hand.
Days later,Mr Henderson showed up at my doorstep with a bag of snacks for my dogs.
