It was June a few years ago right around the Summer Solstice,the longest day of the year.A few weeks earlier the first fireflies had appeared blinking(眨眼) their lights on and off in the woods around my house.What a joy it was seeing them again.Their little flickers(闪耀) of light made me smile with delight.
Now as the daylight was starting to fade I saw out my window some of the neighborhood children attempting to catch the slow moving lightening bugs.One of the girls went inside and came back with a clear, glass jar.After chasing a few without success she finally caught a firefly inside it.All the other children gathered around to watch it flickering its light on and off inside the jar.Soon darkness started to fall and the children's Mom walked over to them and told them it was time to set the firefly free.One of the girls protested but the Mom explained that the firefly would die if left in the jar.Then she said something that still stays in my heart to this day:”It is time to let this little guy go so he can share his light with the rest of the world!”
I remember when I was a little boy we all used to sing the song,”This little light of mine,I'm going to let it shine!”But as adults we find it hard to do so.We dwell on(老是想着)the darkness too much and in fear keep our light hidden away.Don't hide your light.Don't keep it in a jar.Share your flickers,no matter how small they may be.Let the love inside you out.Let the glow within you drive the darkness away.

A bill to conserve endangered species was passed by the U.S. House in a 231-to-190 vote on Tuesday.
The Recovering America’s Wildlife Act would create an annual fund of more than $1.3 billion, given to states, and territories for wildlife conservation on the ground. While threatened species have been recognized and protected under the Endangered Species Act since 1973, that law does not provide constant funding to actively maintain their numbers.
The effort comes as scientists and international organizations sound the alarm about accelerating species decline.
“Too many people don’t realize that about one-third of our wildlife is at increased risk of extinction,” said lead House sponsor Debbie Ding-ell, echoing (呼应) a recent study about climate change.
In the United States, there are more than 1,600 endangered or threatened species, but state agencies have identified more than 7 times that number in need of conservation assistance in their wildlife action plans.
“The bottom line is, when we save wildlife we save for ourselves,” said Collin O’ Mara, CEO of the National Wildlife Federation, which supports the bill. He said species loss threatens everything from the insects that pollinate (授粉) plants in the food chain, to sea life that helps to reduce damages to coastlines from storm.
The bill would improve a 1937 law, the Pittman-Robertson Act, which was passed in response to decreasing game and waterfowl species. That law allows states to tax hunting supplies to pay for wildlife and habitat restoration, but that money is not enough to do the same for non-game species.
The act would also invest more in conservation than the existing program for threatened non-game species, called the State Wildlife Grant Program, which awarded states a total of $56 million this year.
8.What do we know about the Endangered Species Act
A. It does not involve continuous funding.
B. It was passed by the House this Tuesday.
C. It has proved to be a failed Act.
D. It ensured the population of all the species.
9.What did Debbie Dingell show us in paragraph 4
A. Human behavior causes species to decline.
B. People’s efforts matter a lot in conservation.
C. People lack awareness of animal protection.
D. The decline of species is beyond imagination.
10.Why are “insects” and “sea life” mentioned in paragraph 6
A. To indicate they are at risk of dying out.
B. To illustrate how to protect them properly.
C. To show they’re more important than others.
D. To tell man and nature are an organic whole.
11.In which section of the website would this text appear
A. Entertainment. B. News. C. Technology. D. Health.
Artificial intelligence models could soon be used to instantly create or edit realistic 3D scenes on a laptop. AIs have been able to produce realistic 2D images for some time, but 3D scenes have proved to be trickier due to the complete computing power required.
Now, Eric Ryan Chan at Stanford University and his team have created an AI model, EG3D, that can generate random images of faces and other objects in high quality. "It's among the first 3D models to provide near-realistic images," says Chan. "On top of that, it generates finely detailed 3D shapes and it's fast enough to run in real time on a laptop."
Chan's team used features from existing high-quality 2D GANs(generative adversarial network) and added a component that can transform these images for 3D space. "By breaking down the architecture into two pieces, we solve two problems at once: computational efficiency and backwards compatibility(兼容性) with existing architectures," says Chan.
Another new machine learning model created by Yong Jae Lee and his team is called Giraffe HD, which tries to get features of a 3Dimage that are manipulatable. "If you're trying to generate an image of a car, you might want to have control over the type of car," says Lee. It could also potentially let you determine the shape and color, and the background or the scenery in which the car is actually situated.
EG3D and Giraffe HD are part of a wider move towards using AIs to create 3D images. However, there are still problems to deal with in terms of wider applicability. Also, they can be limited by the data you put in.
12.What can be inferred about EG3D from paragraph 2
A. It provides vivid 3D shapes. B. It runs only on desktop computers.
C. It is the first 3D model. D. It is relatively slow.
13.What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. How Chan's team generates EG3D.
B. Why high-quality 2D GANs are used.
C. What problems Chan's team face.
D. How different 3D and 2D space are.
14.What does the underlined word "manipulatable" in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Clear. B. Controllable. C. Detailed. D. Complicated.
15.What can we say about EG3D and Giraffe HD according to the last paragraph
A. They need to be improved. B. They will soon be widely used.
C. They can be easily combined. D. They limit the data you put in.
二、七选五

六、读后续写
34.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。
So recently I got goosebumps. It was Friday, November 17. I was so nervous since it was the end of the week and we had planned to go out and eat for dinner. I went school like it was a normal day, but little did I know there was a shock waiting for me at school.
There's this boy in my band, Spanish and math class. His name was Nathan. I never really —m since he was a slowpoke(迟钝的人). He didn’t have any friends at all. He always sat alone at the lunch table with his phone listening to music. People just walked past him without caring. And in class whenever he was asked a question, he would take a long time to answer it. The whole class would get annoyed and whenever he got an answer wrong, then whole class would laugh. I didn’t know why but I didn’t care enough to know.
On November 17, I walked into band class and was ready to play my flute. Mr. Kohler began the class. We played music for a little while then he asked us to tune our instruments. I saw Nathan, he was just walking around like usual looking for something. There is nothing surprising about that, he does that in every class. He doesn’t just sit the whole class period, he walks around looking for Kleenex or a new reed(簧片) for his instrument. He plays clarinet by the way.
So then Mr. Kohler asked a question to the class: “Who in here can tell what note it is just by hearing the pitch(音高)?”
Nobody raised their hands except for Nathan. The moment I saw him, I laughed but not out loud I thought he couldn’t do anything properly. How could he possibly guess the note when the pitch is played
Mr. Kohler even laughed a little and then told Nathan, Come here buddy. w Nathan came and stood in front of the class. M, Kohler had a tuner and he played a pitch and asked Nathan to guess the pitch.
Nathan said, “E flat.”
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。
Mr. Kohler said, "OK good."
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To our surprise, he guessed all the pitches correctly.

Mr. Kohler said, "OK good." And he played another pitch. "F sharp." Nathan said. The whole class went pin drop silence. Mr. Kohler challenged Nathan by playing 2 pitches at the same time. "C and B flat" Nathan said. Mr. Kohler played 3 pitches. "G, A flat, E sharp." Nathan said. "Good job, go back to your seat." Mr. Kohler said. At that moment I got shocked.
To our surprise, he guessed all the pitches correctly. How did he do that I said to myself. That day I realized that I shouldn't judge people based on little things I see. I need to see the great things people can do. From that day on I had a different opinion on Nathan. I forgot about all the things he was bad at and focused on the things he was good at. Whenever I saw him, I just said to myself, "That's the guy that impressed me. That's the guy who is musically talented."
