Joey Hudicka began his business journey by creating a strategy game called Puckz when he was just 10 years old, by combining two of his favorite interests — strategy games like checkers, and sports like ice hockey. Seeing the amazing experiences unfold for her big brother, Heidi Hudicka set out to create her own first business, a fashion clothing line for her 18 dolls.
But one day, Joey and Heidi met after school and experienced a real breakthrough. “I was telling Joey I was asking friends if they would like me to outsource（外包）the sewing of my designs to them, since it is not really my favorite part of that business, but none of my friends understood what I meant by outsourcing,” recalls Heidi.
“When Heidi told me what happened after school that day I was like, ‘Yeah! I have the same problem.’ Most kids just don’t understand when we talk about our business, or even why it is important to understand how businesses work,” says Joey. “And that’s when we decided to do something about it, to create a fun and engaging way to teach more kids about the power of their creativity through innovation and business.”
Joey and Heidi, along with their parents, founded Fizzee Labs, and began creating engaging learning resources such as Outta This World, a board game that activates your imagination by applying it to invent amazing new products or experiences, in a fast-paced, competitive format.
“Outta This World is a journey through the depths of outer space. You have brought very limited supplies with you on your mission, and you must creatively repurpose these supplies, transforming them into brand-new products or experiences that can be sold to the different civilizations you will meet along your journey, raising the funds you need to reach your destination!” describes Joey.
24. What motivated Heidi to start her first business
A. Her brother’s previous success. B. Her eagerness for fortune.
C. Her passion for strategy games. D. Her parents’ suggestion and support.
25. Why did Joey and Heidi decide to create Fizzee Labs

A new international organization, ReShark, including partners from 15 countries and 44 aquariums, is challenging the shark statistics. According to National Geographic, ReShark’s goal is to release 500endangered z ebra sharks in Indonesian waters to increase a wild population that is on the edge of extinction. This is the first-ever attempt to reintroduce captive（圈养的）sharks into the wild.
Marine reintroductions present significant challenges due to the complexity and shortage of ocean life, as well as the difficulty in managing threats, according to National Geographic. Team ReShark understands that the reintroduction may go up in smoke. Unlike land animals that have been successfully reintroduced in the past, such as giant pandas in China, young sharks are more likely to suffer from diseases and be killed by other animals, and they struggle to find food on their own.
Sharks have a remarkable history as one of the oldest vertebrate species, surviving five mass extinctions over a period of 420 million years. They play an important role in marine ecosystems by influencing the ocean’s food chains. However, they are now facing the second-highest rate of disappearance. Research shows that more than 37 percent of the shark species are at risk of extinction due to overfishing, both legal and illegal. Sharks are hunted for their meat. Nearly 100 million sharks are killed by human hands each year, according to the organization Sentient Media.
Despite the alarming decline in shark populations globally, top shark scientists are hopeful that ReShark’s efforts will succeed. Given these challenges, Simon Fraser University ecologist Dulvy initially had some doubts about ReShark’s plans. However, after asking some questions, he was surprised by what the initiative could produce. “This initiative is different,” Dulvy explained. Similarly, Rima Jabado, Dulvy’s successor, recognized ReShark as a unique project that could provide a lifeline for endangered shark species. “It may provide an opportunity for species not to go extinct,” she said.
28. What’s the ReShark’s intention of releasing sharks
A. To conduct shark data collection.
B. To study the living habits of sharks.
C. To save the endangered shark species.
D. To test new ways of keeping sharks.
29. What does the underlined part “go up in smoke” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Disappear. B. Fail. C. Work. D. Influence.
30. How does the Paragraph 3 develop
A. By giving examples. B. By giving descriptions.
C. By making comparison. D. By making classifications.
31. What does Rima Jabado think of ReShark’s project
A. Special and promising. B. Hopeful and effortless.
C. Risky and costly. D. Doubtful and immature.

ChatGPT is an amazing artificial intelligence tool that has recently been released, along with other mind-blowing generative AI tools like Midjourney and DALL-E. These tools have the potential to revolutionize the way we create digital content, making it faster and cheaper.
However, there is a downside to these AI tools that cannot be ignored. What happens when they start replacing copywriters, journalists, customer service agents, and digital marketers For years, experts have been warning that AI could threaten white-collar jobs, which were once considered safe from automation. Some even predict that up to 47 percent of jobs in the US could be at risk.
While no one can say for sure whether generative AI will cause mass job loss among highly educated workers, it is clear that it has the potential to disrupt the employment landscape. Tasks that were once considered impossible to automate are now becoming automatable. Whether or not jobs are removed, the essence of these jobs is likely to change.
Companies will always choose machines over humans when they can, and AI has the ability to perform tasks currently done by copywriters, digital content producers, and other professionals. This means that these jobs may soon undergo significant changes. However, it is important to note that AI cannot replace certain aspects of these jobs. It cannot conduct interviews, find historical documents, or assess the quality of studies. It lacks authority, understanding, and the ability to correct itself or generate genuinely new ideas.
This implies that while AI may create a vast amount of simpler content, it could also make original journalism more valuable and investigative journalists more productive. AI may be able to generate listicles and summaries of public meetings, but it is humans who will write in-depth stories. Experts believe that AI will ultimately help people use their expertise （专业知识）more effectively, and allow them to focus on areas where human intelligence is crucial.
While there is a risk that AI technologies could lead to sudden changes in the labor market, it is important to recognize the benefits of having such technology.
32. What’s the potential impact of generative AI tools on the employment market
A. They may offer jobs faster and cheaper.
B. They may make the nature of certain jobs different.
C. They may cause mass job loss for white collars.
D. They may revolutionize the way digital content is created.
33. How can AI finally benefit professionals in the labor market
A. By making positions more valuable.
B. By making their jobs more irreplaceable.
C. By removing the need for human expertise.
D. By enabling them to specialize in some key fields.
34. What can we learn from the passage
A. AI has few benefits for employment.
B. AI is bound to take the place of mankind in the future.
C. AI can’t be completely independent of human wisdom.
D. AI can’t create genuinely new ideas or simpler content.
35. What is the overall point of the passage towards AI technologies
A. They should be further perfected.
B. They should be accepted despite their risks.
C. They should be avoided to protect white-collar jobs.
D. They should be controlled to prevent mass job loss.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I taught English as a Second Language (ESL) at a school. One particular sixth grader, Pablo, was struggling with fluency in reading, so after class I suggested that he get extra practice by reading aloud to his mom while she prepared dinner each evening. This was something I routinely encouraged my struggling students to do. Imagine my surprise when Pablo responded by starting to cry. He said, “My mom can’t cook dinner!” Then he cried harder. Eventually, he calmed down enough to tell me that his mom was only able to “cry in her bed” when he got home every afternoon. He said that he was caring for his six-month-old baby brother by himself from the time he got home each day. His mother, it seemed, had a bad tooth and was in extreme pain. He said that his father didn’t have enough money to get it fixed, and that there was no way for her to go to a dentist. This child’s heart was broken for his mom.
I was speechless! He was still crying when he left me that day, and I promised him I would try to help. I kept asking myself how I could help this student. How could I help his mother when we didn’t even speak the same language
The next day, I sent a note, which a friend helped me translate, to Pablo’s mother asking if she would like me to find someone to help her. The following day, Pablo brought me a note from his mom accepting my offer to help.
Meanwhile, I had been doing some networking among my friends asking if anyone knew a dentist who might do some free work for this lady. At the time, I was not able to pay for the work to be done myself. Several friends suggested a dental office that had recently opened up in the area, thinking that they might be willing to provide the services. I didn’t want to waste a lot of time going to several dentists, so I prayed that this would be the one.
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。
Stopping by the dental office, I went to the reception desk. Pablo’s mother came to meet the dentist at the appointed time.

An Art Festival
Aimed to celebrate the 70th anniversary of our school and enrich campus life, an art festival was held in our school last Friday.
As scheduled, the art festival began at 5 pm, lasting 3 hours. There were varieties of performances including singing and dancing by both students and teachers, which were well received by the audience. Besides, the festival ended with a fireworks show, adding to the atmosphere of the festival.
The art festival turned out to be a huge success. Not only did it strengthen our love for the school, but it provided a good opportunity to show ourselves.
续写：
Stopping by the dental office, I went to the reception desk. With butterflies in my stomach, I told the receptionist my needs. Hearing my words, she led me to the office of a dentist, who asked for more details. I told him the story and waited eagerly for his reply. To my surprise, he agreed to do free work for Pablo’s mother, adding that he was once an English as a Second Language student. He saw this as an excellent opportunity to “pay it forward” and help another ESL student. The dentist said that he would try his best.
Pablo’s mother came to meet the dentist at the appointed time. Seeing the dentist, she expressed her heartfelt gratitude with tears welling up. After some examination, the dentist had her bad tooth removed free of charge. Not suffering from toothache, she was able to return to the role as a mother and Pablo to his role as a child. Pablo was glad to practice reading to his mother when she prepared dinner, thus making great progress in reading. Witnessing all this, I was grateful that we had a chance to reach out to those in need and make some difference.

W: How did you finance the business
M: I began in a very small way! So I didn’t need a loan from the bank. I used to fill a basket with sandwiches and sell them in local offices. The small money I’d saved bought the first ingredients, and that got me started.
W: Very low risk! When did you employ Liam, then
M: Employ no! I couldn’t afford wages. Liam had a steady job then, but he hated it. When I asked him to join the business, he seemed interested, so he took over the deliveries temporarily. Later he enjoyed it so much that he decided to give up his proper job and take a risk with me.

I wasn’t someone who would shake at the thought of flying a plane. I was actually quite looking forward to it when my family bought me the “flying experience day”. I researched it online. Surprisingly, the little aircraft I was going to fly in could only go up to 3,000 meters, which is quite low considering that big jets fly closer to 10,000 meters. There was a short talk from the instructor about safety and the controls. My parents were amazed that something like that was available for teenagers like me, but I’m pleased it was. On the day, I was nervous, but my instructor was very calm and she took the controls as we took off. It only took two minutes for the aircraft to get high up. Even though we were flying at a high speed, I could hardly tell we were moving when I looked down. I’m now so into flying that I’m considering it as a career. I’ll need to become qualified, of course. The company that organizes experience days keeps sending me emails about train driving and other things, but I only want more of one kind of experience now!

Joey Hudicka began his business journey by creating a strategy game called Puckz when he was just 10 years old, by combining two of his favorite interests — strategy games like checkers, and sports like ice hockey. Seeing the amazing experiences unfold for her big brother, Heidi Hudicka set out to create her own first business, a fashion clothing line for her 18 dolls.
But one day, Joey and Heidi met after school and experienced a real breakthrough. “I was telling Joey I was asking friends if they would like me to outsource（外包）the sewing of my designs to them, since it is not really my favorite part of that business, but none of my friends understood what I meant by outsourcing,” recalls Heidi.
“When Heidi told me what happened after school that day I was like, ‘Yeah! I have the same problem.’ Most kids just don’t understand when we talk about our business, or even why it is important to understand how businesses work,” says Joey. “And that’s when we decided to do something about it, to create a fun and engaging way to teach more kids about the power of their creativity through innovation and business.”
Joey and Heidi, along with their parents, founded Fizzee Labs, and began creating engaging learning resources such as Outta This World, a board game that activates your imagination by applying it to invent amazing new products or experiences, in a fast-paced, competitive format.
“Outta This World is a journey through the depths of outer space. You have brought very limited supplies with you on your mission, and you must creatively repurpose these supplies, transforming them into brand-new products or experiences that can be sold to the different civilizations you will meet along your journey, raising the funds you need to reach your destination!” describes Joey.
24. What motivated Heidi to start her first business
A. Her brother’s previous success. B. Her eagerness for fortune.
C. Her passion for strategy games. D. Her parents’ suggestion and support.
25. Why did Joey and Heidi decide to create Fizzee Labs
A. To understand how businesses work.
B. To create a board game about outer space.
C. To outsource the sewing of their clothing line.
D. To teach kids about the power of creativity and business.
26. What is the function of Outta This World
A. Addressing the business problems.
B. Raising funds for a space mission.
C. Developing interesting learning resources.
D. Encouraging imagination and inventiveness.
27. Which can be the best title for the passage

A new international organization, ReShark, including partners from 15 countries and 44 aquariums, is challenging the shark statistics. According to National Geographic, ReShark’s goal is to release 500endangered z ebra sharks in Indonesian waters to increase a wild population that is on the edge of extinction. This is the first-ever attempt to reintroduce captive（圈养的）sharks into the wild.
Marine reintroductions present significant challenges due to the complexity and shortage of ocean life, as well as the difficulty in managing threats, according to National Geographic. Team ReShark understands that the reintroduction may go up in smoke. Unlike land animals that have been successfully reintroduced in the past, such as giant pandas in China, young sharks are more likely to suffer from diseases and be killed by other animals, and they struggle to find food on their own.
Sharks have a remarkable history as one of the oldest vertebrate species, surviving five mass extinctions over a period of 420 million years. They play an important role in marine ecosystems by influencing the ocean’s food chains. However, they are now facing the second-highest rate of disappearance. Research shows that more than 37 percent of the shark species are at risk of extinction due to overfishing, both legal and illegal. Sharks are hunted for their meat. Nearly 100 million sharks are killed by human hands each year, according to the organization Sentient Media.
Despite the alarming decline in shark populations globally, top shark scientists are hopeful that ReShark’s efforts will succeed. Given these challenges, Simon Fraser University ecologist Dulvy initially had some doubts about ReShark’s plans. However, after asking some questions, he was surprised by what the initiative could produce. “This initiative is different,” Dulvy explained. Similarly, Rima Jabado, Dulvy’s successor, recognized ReShark as a unique project that could provide a lifeline for endangered shark species. “It may provide an opportunity for species not to go extinct,” she said.
28. What’s the ReShark’s intention of releasing sharks
A. To conduct shark data collection.
B. To study the living habits of sharks.
C. To save the endangered shark species.
D. To test new ways of keeping sharks.
29. What does the underlined part “go up in smoke” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Disappear. B. Fail. C. Work. D. Influence.
30. How does the Paragraph 3 develop
A. By giving examples. B. By giving descriptions.
C. By making comparison. D. By making classifications.
31. What does Rima Jabado think of ReShark’s project
A. Special and promising. B. Hopeful and effortless.
C. Risky and costly. D. Doubtful and immature.

ChatGPT is an amazing artificial intelligence tool that has recently been released, along with other mind-blowing generative AI tools like Midjourney and DALL-E. These tools have the potential to revolutionize the way we create digital content, making it faster and cheaper.
However, there is a downside to these AI tools that cannot be ignored. What happens when they start replacing copywriters, journalists, customer service agents, and digital marketers For years, experts have been warning that AI could threaten white-collar jobs, which were once considered safe from automation. Some even predict that up to 47 percent of jobs in the US could be at risk.
While no one can say for sure whether generative AI will cause mass job loss among highly educated workers, it is clear that it has the potential to disrupt the employment landscape. Tasks that were once considered impossible to automate are now becoming automatable. Whether or not jobs are removed, the essence of these jobs is likely to change.
Companies will always choose machines over humans when they can, and AI has the ability to perform tasks currently done by copywriters, digital content producers, and other professionals. This means that these jobs may soon undergo significant changes. However, it is important to note that AI cannot replace certain aspects of these jobs. It cannot conduct interviews, find historical documents, or assess the quality of studies. It lacks authority, understanding, and the ability to correct itself or generate genuinely new ideas.
This implies that while AI may create a vast amount of simpler content, it could also make original journalism more valuable and investigative journalists more productive. AI may be able to generate listicles and summaries of public meetings, but it is humans who will write in-depth stories. Experts believe that AI will ultimately help people use their expertise （专业知识）more effectively, and allow them to focus on areas where human intelligence is crucial.
While there is a risk that AI technologies could lead to sudden changes in the labor market, it is important to recognize the benefits of having such technology.
32. What’s the potential impact of generative AI tools on the employment market
A. They may offer jobs faster and cheaper.
B. They may make the nature of certain jobs different.
C. They may cause mass job loss for white collars.
D. They may revolutionize the way digital content is created.
33. How can AI finally benefit professionals in the labor market
A. By making positions more valuable.
B. By making their jobs more irreplaceable.
C. By removing the need for human expertise.
D. By enabling them to specialize in some key fields.
34. What can we learn from the passage
A. AI has few benefits for employment.
B. AI is bound to take the place of mankind in the future.
C. AI can’t be completely independent of human wisdom.
D. AI can’t create genuinely new ideas or simpler content.
35. What is the overall point of the passage towards AI technologies
A. They should be further perfected.
B. They should be accepted despite their risks.
C. They should be avoided to protect white-collar jobs.
D. They should be controlled to prevent mass job loss.

One particular sixth grader, Pablo, was struggling with fluency in reading, so after class I suggested that he get extra practice by reading aloud to his mom while she prepared dinner each evening. This was something I routinely encouraged my struggling students to do. Imagine my surprise when Pablo responded by starting to cry. He said, “My mom can’t cook dinner!” Then he cried harder. Eventually, he calmed down enough to tell me that his mom was only able to “cry in her bed” when he got home every afternoon. He said that he was caring for his six-month-old baby brother by himself from the time he got home each day. His mother, it seemed, had a bad tooth and was in extreme pain. He said that his father didn’t have enough money to get it fixed, and that there was no way for her to go to a dentist. This child’s heart was broken for his mom.
I was speechless! He was still crying when he left me that day, and I promised him I would try to help. I kept asking myself how I could help this student. How could I help his mother when we didn’t even speak the same language
The next day, I sent a note, which a friend helped me translate, to Pablo’s mother asking if she would like me to find someone to help her. The following day, Pablo brought me a note from his mom accepting my offer to help.
Meanwhile, I had been doing some networking among my friends asking if anyone knew a dentist who might do some free work for this lady. At the time, I was not able to pay for the work to be done myself. Several friends suggested a dental office that had recently opened up in the area, thinking that they might be willing to provide the services. I didn’t want to waste a lot of time going to several dentists, so I prayed that this would be the one.
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。
Stopping by the dental office, I went to the reception desk. Pablo’s mother came to meet the dentist at the appointed time.

续写：
Stopping by the dental office, I went to the reception desk. With butterflies in my stomach, I told the receptionist my needs. Hearing my words, she led me to the office of a dentist, who asked for more details. I told him the story and waited eagerly for his reply. To my surprise, he agreed to do free work for Pablo’s mother, adding that he was once an English as a Second Language student. He saw this as an excellent opportunity to “pay it forward” and help another ESL student. The dentist said that he would try his best.
Pablo’s mother came to meet the dentist at the appointed time. Seeing the dentist, she expressed her heartfelt gratitude with tears welling up. After some examination, the dentist had her bad tooth removed free of charge. Not suffering from toothache, she was able to return to the role as a mother and Pablo to his role as a child. Pablo was glad to practice reading to his mother when she prepared dinner, thus making great progress in reading. Witnessing all this, I was grateful that we had a chance to reach out to those in need and make some difference.

W: Very low risk! When did you employ Liam, then
M: Employ no! I couldn’t afford wages. Liam had a steady job then, but he hated it. When I asked him to join the business, he seemed interested, so he took over the deliveries temporarily. Later he enjoyed it so much that he decided to give up his proper job and take a risk with me.

I wasn’t someone who would shake at the thought of flying a plane. I was actually quite looking forward to it when my family bought me the “flying experience day”. I researched it online. Surprisingly, the little aircraft I was going to fly in could only go up to 3,000 meters, which is quite low considering that big jets fly closer to 10,000 meters. There was a short talk from the instructor about safety and the controls. My parents were amazed that something like that was available for teenagers like me, but I’m pleased it was. On the day, I was nervous, but my instructor was very calm and she took the controls as we took off. It only took two minutes for the aircraft to get high up. Even though we were flying at a high speed, I could hardly tell we were moving when I looked down. I’m now so into flying that I’m considering it as a career. I’ll need to become qualified, of course. The company that organizes experience days keeps sending me emails about train driving and other things, but I only want more of one kind of experience now!
