B In a small coastal town,there lived two best friends,Sarah and Emily.They had been inseparable since childhood,sharing laughter,dreams,and endless adventures by the sea.Summers were spent exploring the rocky shores,where they imagined themselves as explorers uncovering hidden treasures One sunlit afternoon,while searching for shells,they came across the most beautiful seashell they had ever seen.It was pearly white with lines of pink and blue,shining as if it held the magic of the ocean itself.Both girls were fascinated,and after a moment of silent admiration,they wished to keep it.Unable to decide who should have it,they made a promise:they would share it,taking turns keeping it for six months each. As the years passed,their lives took different directions.Sarah,ambitious and driven,moved to a distant city to pursue a career in the business world,while Emily stayed in their hometown, following her passion for painting the sea and the skies she loved so much.Though far apart,the seashell remained their silent connection,a reminder of their long-lasting friendship.

When Emily arrived,she brought the seashell with her.Together,they sat in Sarah's apartment,holding the seashell and recalling their carefree childhood.Emily's warmth and presence reminded Sarah of who she truly was,and the strength she had within.Encouraged,Sarah decided to pursue her dream of starting her own business,and Emily's artwork decorated the walls of her new office,a symbol of their strong bond. The seashell,once a shared treasure,now symbolized their unbreakable friendship-a friendship that could weather any storm,no matter the distance or challenges they faced. 24.Why did Sarah and Emily choose to keep the seashell?

"Antarctica is a rich continent full of life that few people imagine." During a recent adventure,Lagger explored the ocean floor with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV)called SuBastian.His team reached an undocumented deep-sea trench ()As live video streamed on a monitor,Lagger and his colleagues felt like astronauts exploring a new frontier. The Southern Ocean plays a critical role in regulating Earth's climate by absorbing more 答案第5页（共12页） 餐国扫描全能王 carbon dioxide than any other ocean.However,as a recent study notes,"terrible conditions make collecting good data difficult."As a result,much of the seabed remains unexplored.Lagger's team hopes to discover new species and improve carbon storage estimates,which are essential for understanding climate change. During a three-week voyage,the team collected samples from seven dives.They used SuBastian's mechanical arms to gather core samples.Several dives reached depths of more than 2,000 feet,and one got to nearly 13,000 feet-one of the deepest ROV dives in the Southern Ocean.Lagger explains that while shallower waters are affected by climate change,deeper environments have remained almost unchanged for centuries,untouched and primitive."It's like a time machine,"he says,"as if we can see what ocean communities were like hundreds of years ag0.” The dives provide a rare opportunity to create a reference standard of deep-sea health.helping scientists detect early signs of change.Lagger believes the data will strengthen the case for more marine protected areas around Antarctica.As he points out,"What happens at the frozen edge does not stay there."The health of the Southern Ocean,he stresses,is linked to the well-being of the entire planet. 28.How did Lagger and his team explore the ocean floor? A.By analyzing samples. B.By using SuBastian. C.By diving to the bottom. D.By watching previous videos. 29.Why does Lagger describe the deep ocean as"a time machine"? A.It is easy to reach. B.It supports diverse ocean life. C.It has barely changed. D.It has been damaged by humans. 30.What is the value of the dives? A.Finding new kinds of sea fish. B.Helping set deep-sea health standards. C.Marking the size of protected areas. D.Providing records of weather changes. 31.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.Smart Vehicle Saves the Entire Planet B.Deep Sea Dives Are Gaining Popularity C.Cristian Lagger Explores Antarctic Deep D.The Southern Ocean Is a Treasure House D Autocomplete suggestions are among the most annoying"useful"tools for writing.Integrated into online text input,they use AI to suggest what to write.They are meant to save time,but many find assessing and rewriting the suggested text takes longer than writing it yourself.More 答案第6页（共12页） S扫描全能王 然病觉人■在用的日mAe 02.2-24-2 importantly,they can change how you express yourself-and even how you think. A study was conducted by Cornell University.Researchers asked participants to fill in an online survey about hot social issues.Some were given an Al autocomplete answer deliberately biased toward one side.For example,participants were asked whether they agreed that self-driving cars should be allowed on roads.They might then receive an AI clue that disagreed with them. Across all topics,participants who saw the AI clues reported attitudes more in line with the AI's position-including people who didn't use the suggested text at all.Overall,those who saw the biased AI text shifted their positions toward those held by the AI. Most strikingly,people didn't tend to think the AI suggestions were biased,or notice that they had changed their own thinking.Warning them that they might be exposed to misinformation by the AI didn't weaken the persuasive effect either."We told people before,and after,to be careful,that the AI is going to be biased,but nothing helped.Their attitudes still shifted,"said Naaman,a professor of information science."That is deeply troubling and a risk we need to take very seriously.” The findings raise impoitant questions about the power of AI writing tools.If simply seeing a biased suggestion can shift a person's beliefs,what does that mean for a world where billions use AI writing assistants every day?And who decides what positions these tools will subtly promote?The study adds to research showing technology doesn't just extend our abilities-it can reshape them. 32.What is the function of autocomplete tools in online text input? A.To give writing tips. B.To collect writing expressions. C.To assess writing content. D.To change writing styles. 33.Why were some participants given biased AI autocomplete answers? A.To prove AI clues were biased. B.To test AI clues'impact on opinions. C.To study AI autocomplete's reaction speed. D.To compare different AI systems. 34.How does Naamau feel about the effect of AI autocomplete? A.Disappointed.B.Astonished. C.Concerned. D.Confused. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text?

I didn't have any idea,but I thought playing the drums was cool and interesting.So she took me to enroll in a drum course in the Children's Palace,where I spent nearly every Sunday morning for two years,practicing playing the drum. As time went on,I went to middle school.I joined a band as a drummer in my middle school. I thought it would be fun playing the drum in a team and meeting new friends.At first it was easy because of my constant practice during the primary school,but a month later,it got more and more difficult.I was the only one who couldn't keep pace with the other players.The band consists of students playing the violin,the piano,the guitar and so on.We were in a team;the music was beautiful,but it seemed rather challenging.So I was in low spirits when playing in the band,and the joy of playing music began to fade. Our teacher,Ms Miller,noticed my struggle and singled me out to keep practicing while everyone else got to relax.With each missed beat,I felt ashamed as my teammates watched me fail so many times.Finally I got so tired of practicing that I no longer cared if it was done right. "Are you giving up,Steve?"Ms Miller asked gently. "Yes,I am,"I shouted.Ms Miller sent me inside the music room where I cried out.Then she came in and said,"Don't be sad.I believe you can make it!"She told me never to give up and left me alone to think about it.Alone in the music room,I recalled Ms Miller's words and finally realized she was right.Quitting wasn't just about giving up on myself;it was about abandoning my team.I couldn't let my teammates down. 答案第11页（共12页） S扫描全能王 额3吃人■直用纳日mAe 2.2-24-- 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。 Then I decided to go on practicing.
