Things to do
The Carillon Canal is fed by the water of the Ottawa River. The Canal opens a huge gate to enable boats to sail an impressive 20-metre drop in just 40 minutes!
Have a family picnic in beautiful scenery, then visit the old barracks (营房) which are now a museum. Curious to see a huge power station up close Visits are free of charge.

·Thanksgiving.
What are the best times for sailing
To avoid waiting lines, experience the Carillon Canal during the quieter periods, i. e. before June 24th, and later in early autumn, from Labour Day to mid-October. In this way, you’ll discover these wonderful places at your own pace, without pushing through the crowd that might have had the same idea as you, and you’ll gain the peace of mind to sail in complete relaxation!

It was July 15, 2021, and my friends had helped me celebrate my 31st birthday in the basement apartment of my sister’s home, where I lived.
Earlier in the day I had prepared for the unlikely event of a flood. We are about a third of a mile from the banks of the Ahr River. It had been raining that week, and authorities had issued a flood warning, though not for where I was. Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and piled clothing on tables. Before my friends left, they laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, “Why take a chance ”
As I went to sleep, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water. When I swung my legs off the bed, I was shocked by the sensation of cold-water lapping against my knees and rising fast. The Ahr River had violently burst its banks. And I had to get out fast!
The water was now up to my waist. I started to wade to my only escape: the door that leads upstairs to the rest of the house. Finally, I made it to the door. I managed to make a gap of about a foot, just wide enough to squeeze through and make it into the hallway. I leaped onto the stairs and ran to the third floor.
The river had drowned the neighborhood. What was once a lovely, cozy street was now a waterscape. More than 180 people died, and parts of villages were entirely washed away. Many of the houses around us were destroyed. Not everyone got out.
I came close to drowning that day. But rather than dwell on that, I prefer to recall what my mother told me afterward, “Christian, don’t remember the day when you lost everything. Remember the day you survived.”
4. What does the underlined word “that” refer to
A. Celebrating a birthday. B. Managing the garden.
C. Warning friends of a flood. D. Preparing for the flood.
5. Why did the author try to open the door
A. To let the water out. B. To keep things being swept away.
C. To reduce the flow of water. D. To escape to the upstairs.
6. What is the main idea of the fifth paragraph about the flood
A. Its cause. B. Its damage. C. Its scale. D. Its process.
7. Why did the author quote his mother’s words
A. To show his hope for the future. B. To indicate the loss of everything.
C. To highlight the power of flooding. D. To stress the role of good luck.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的一次脱险经历。由于连下大雨，使得河流决堤，爆发了洪水，殃及到作者所居住的区域。尽管作者提前做好了“抗洪”准备，但是，洪水的破坏力还是使得作者的家，以及该区域一片狼藉。幸运的是，作者逃生并幸存了下来。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Earlier in the day I had prepared for the unlikely event of a flood.(那天早些时候，我已经为不太可能发生的洪水做了准备)”和“Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and piled clothing on tables. Before my friends left, they laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, “Why take a chance ”(尽管如此，我还是在花园门外的地板上放了沙袋，把衣服堆在桌子上。在我的朋友们离开之前，他们嘲笑我这么做，但我想，“为什么要冒这个险？”)”可知，that指代上文提到的作者为洪水做准备。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“I started to wade to my only escape: the door that leads upstairs to the rest of the house. Finally, I made it to the door.

I leaped onto the stairs and ran to the third floor.(我开始涉水走向唯一的逃生之路：通往楼上房间的那扇门。最后，我走到门口。我设法弄出一个大约一英尺的缺口，刚好能挤进去，进入走廊。我跳上楼梯，跑到三楼)”可知，作者努力开门是为逃出去上楼。故选D。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段内容“The river had drowned the neighborhood. What was once a lovely, cozy street was now a waterscape. More than 180 people died, and parts of villages were entirely washed away.

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I came close to drowning that day. But rather than dwell on that, I prefer to recall what my mother told me afterward, “Christian, don’t remember the day when you lost everything. Remember the day you survived.”(那天我差点就淹死了。但与其纠结于此，我更愿意回忆母亲后来对我说的话：“克里斯蒂安，不要记得你失去一切的那一天。记住你活下来的那一天。”)”可推知，作者差点被淹死，但是想起妈妈说的话，对未来又充满了希望。故选A。
C
Just by typing a few keywords and waiting a few seconds, a picture comparable to that painted by a human artist appears on screen.
AI art generators have seemingly swept the Chinese Internet. In some paintings created by AI, an elderly man can be shown as a young animated image, and pets can be turned into adorable cartoon girls or boys.
Huang Ge, an illustrator from Shanghai, said that it usually takes him several hours or days to complete one illustration. But with AI art generators, the efficiency is greatly improved. “Also, the generators have many modification (修改) modes, and the picture can be modified directly in the painting software,” he added. Ding Jiao, a comic artist, considers the popularity of AI art generator s reasonable as many people who are not good at drawing can create great works through them.
So is Al painting gradually replacing human painting In the hot topic “Using a picture to prove that human artists will never be replaced by Al” online, many netizens uploaded their paintings to prove that humans are better than AI. “Though Al technology has developed rapidly, AI cannot fully replace humans. The warmth and inspiration in human creations are irreplaceable,” said Ding Daoshi, an independent analyst.
Another controversial issue is that there is no consensus (共识) of who owns the copyright of AI art. Some users have openly sold their AI paintings and earned money, but it is still a gray area about whether these artworks belong to users, the digital tool developers or even AI.
Ding Daoshi noted that the various sides should get together to debate the issue and come up with some accepted rules as soon as possible because AI is already penetrating deeply into the lives of human beings.
8. Why does the author mention “an elderly man” and “pets” in Paragraph 2
A. To show the popularity of AI art generators.
B. To illustrate the disadvantage of AI art generators.
C. To prove the significance of AI art generators.
D. To present the powerful function of AI art generators.
9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The efficiency of AI art generators. B. The benefits of AI art generators.
C. The popularity of AI art generators. D. The functions of AI art generators.
10. What is a controversial issue about AI painting besides its copyright
A. Whether human artworks will be replaced by AI artworks.
B. Who AI artworks will really belong to.
C. Whether human artists are better than AI art generators.
D. How AI painting can play a supportive role.
11. What does the underlined part “a gray area” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. A done deal. B. A give-and-take attitude.
C. An ill-defined situation. D. A hard-to-get game.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了AI艺术生成器风靡网络，提高了创作效率，同时也引发争议，它是否取代人类绘画？AI艺术作品版权归属归谁所有？
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“AI art generators have seemingly swept the Chinese Internet. In some paintings created by AI, an elderly man can be shown as a young animated image, and pets can be turned into adorable cartoon girls or boys.(AI艺术生成器似乎已席卷中国互联网。在AI创造的一些画作中，老人能被呈现为年轻的动画形象，宠物则可以变身可爱的卡通男孩或女孩)”可知，第二段中作者提到老人和宠物是为了呈现AI艺术生成器的强大功能。故选D。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Huang Ge, an illustrator from Shanghai, said that it usually takes him several hours or days to complete one illustration. But with AI art generators, the efficiency is greatly improved. “Also, the generators have many modification modes, and the picture can be modified directly in the painting software,” he added. Ding Jiao, a comic artist, considers the popularity of AI art generator s reasonable as many people who are not good at drawing can create great works through them.(来自上海的插画师黄戈表示，通常完成一幅插图他需要数小时乃至数天的时间。但借助AI艺术生成器，效率大大提升。“此外，生成器具备多种修改模式，画面可直接在绘图软件中进行调整，”他补充道。漫画家丁娇认为，AI艺术生成器的流行不无道理，许多不擅长绘画的人也能借此创作出佳作)”可知，第三段主要谈论AI生成器的优点。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“So is Al painting gradually replacing human painting (那么Al绘画正在逐渐取代人类绘画吗？)”可知，AI艺术作品是否会取代人类艺术作品是AI绘画除了版权之外的一个有争议的问题。故选A。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前“Another controversial issue is that there is no consensus of who owns the copyright of AI art.(另一个颇具争议的问题是，AI艺术的版权归属尚无共识)”及划线词后“whether these artworks belong to users, the digital tool developers or even AI(这些艺术作品究竟属于用户、数字工具开发者还是AI)”可知，划线词a gray area指的是关于AI艺术的版权处于一种模糊不清的状态。故选C。
D
As kids’ behaviour reaches crisis points after the pandemic, many schools are facing pressure from critics to rethink their approaches to discipline.
Approaches such as “restorative justice” were adopted widely in recent decades as educators updated the policies that cut off students’ access to learning, such as suspensions and expulsions (停学和开除). But more students have been acting out, and some school systems have faced questions from teachers, parents and lawmakers about whether a gentle approach can effectively solve problems that disrupt (扰乱) classrooms.
According to federal data, instances of misbehavior have been increasing since students returned to classrooms from the pandemic. A National Center for Education Statistics survey found 56% of respondents said the pandemic led to increased classroom disruptions from students’ misbehavior and 48%said it led to more acts of disrespect toward teachers and staff.
Rachel Perera studies education at the Brookings Institution. “There’s a lot of pressure on schools right now,” she said. “Schools also say they don’t have the resources to address more behavioral problems, and I worry that that will cause schools to fall back on old practices that are not effective in terms of supporting students in the way they need.”
Using restorative justice does not mean a school cannot remove a disruptive student from the classroom, said Thalia González, a professor at the UC College of the Law. But unlike other forms of discipline, restorative practices aim to deal with the root cause of students’ behavior and reintegrated them into classroom.
“That’s the problem with punitive discipline such as suspensions and expulsions,” González said. “You get removed and then you just come back. There’s nothing done to reintegrate into the community and rebuild the climate, the sense of safety, all the things that we know are so important to young people learning.”
12. What do we learn about “restorative justice” according to Paragraph 2
A. It cuts off students’ access to learning.
B. It’s favored by both teachers and parents.
C. It’s less serious than suspensions and expulsions.
D. It’s more effective than suspensions and expulsions.
13. What did the survey by a National Center for Education Statistics find
A. An increase in students’ misbehavior. B. Ways to deal with students’ misbehavior.
C. An improvement on students’ performance. D. Resources to address behavioral problems.
14. What was Thalia Gonzalez’s attitude to suspensions and expulsions
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Confused. D. Supportive.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Why are schools relying on restorative justice
B. Is restorative justice an effective problem-solving approach
C. How do schools make use of restorative justice
D. What sets restorative justice apart from other discipline methods
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，本文探讨了对于处理学生不良行为而言，“恢复性司法”是否有效的问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Approaches such as “restorative justice” were adopted widely in recent decades as educators updated the policies that cut off students’ access to learning, such as suspensions and expulsions. But more students have been acting out, and some school systems have faced questions from teachers, parents and lawmakers about whether a gentle approach can effectively solve problems that disrupt classrooms. (近几十年来，随着教育工作者更新了诸如停学和开除等切断学生学习机会的政策，“恢复性司法”等方法被广泛采用。但越来越多的学生开始采取行动，一些学校系统也面临着来自教师、家长和立法者的质疑：温和的方法是否能有效解决扰乱课堂的问题。)”可推知，“恢复性司法”没有停学和开除那么严重。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“A National Center for Education Statistics survey found 56% of respondents said the pandemic led to increased classroom disruptions from students’ misbehavior and 48%said it led to more acts of disrespect toward teachers and staff. (美国国家教育统计中心的一项调查发现，56%的受访者表示，新冠肺炎疫情导致学生行为不端导致课堂混乱加剧，48%的受访者表示，疫情导致更多不尊重教师和工作人员的行为。)”可知，国家教育统计中心发现学生不良行为增加。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““That’s the problem with punitive discipline such as suspensions and expulsions,” González said. “You get removed and then you just come back. There’s nothing done to reintegrate into the community and rebuild the climate, the sense of safety, all the things that we know are so important to young people learning.” (“这就是停学和开除等惩罚性纪律的问题所在，”González说。“你被赶走了，然后又回来了。他们没有采取任何措施来重新融入社区，重建气候、安全感，以及所有我们知道对年轻人学习非常重要的东西。”)”可知，Thalia Gonzalez对于停学和开除持反对态度。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Approaches such as“restorative justice”were adopted widely in recent decades as educators updated the policies that cut off students’ access to learning, such as suspensions and expulsions.

47. 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。
On a windy day, Emily invited Nora to play football in her garden. “I go first!” Nora shouted as she kicked the ball towards Emily.
“Is that all you got Watch me, the champion, hit the ball. It will travel off to infinity (无穷大)!”
Emily ran like the wind to the ball and kicked it so hard that it flew over the fence of her garden and into the neighbor’s house. There was a sharp cracking sound.
“Uh oh... what did you do ” Nora asked, feeling afraid.
“L…I don’t know. Oh no! 1 think I broke my neighbor’s window,” Emily cried as she dashed across her garden and hid behind some cherry bushes. Nora faded into thin air.
Terror was written all over Emily’s face. She saw the neighbor, Mr. Mason, picking up the pieces of sharp glass. There was anger, as well as panic, on his face.
The sun was setting. Emily knew that it was not secure for her to stay out so late. Eventually, as the light faded, she returned home, keeping her eyes wide open for the neighbor.
Her heart was shaking as she cautiously arrived home. Her mother saw the sweat on her face. She knew, her daughter had done something wrong. Mother sat next to Emily on the comfortable sofa and then asked, “Emily, are you okay Is something wrong ”
Emily held her mother’s hands. Her eyes were wet with tears. “Mom, I did something bad, but it was unintentional. I hit the football so hard that it flew out of our garden and broke Mr. Mason’s window.”
Mother listened to her patiently as she calmed her and wiped her tears away. Then she held a sharp-tipped pencil. “Do you know why pencils have erasers ” Mother asked, surprising Emily since she wasn’t expecting such a question.

With her heart beating fast, Emily walked up to her neighbor’s front door.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 “To erase our mistakes,” Emily replied. “That’s right!” her mother said. “So, when we make mistakes in life, we can and should fix them immediately. Then it is no longer a mistake.” Realizing what her mother wanted to say, Emily hung her head. “Mom, you are right. Although it’s quite embarrassing, saying sorry is the only way I can make up for my mistake.” Mom stroked Emily’s hair gently, her eyes sparkling with approval and encouragement. At this, a ripple of bravery surged over Emily, motivating her to get out of the house.
With her heart beating fast, Emily walked up to her neighbor’s front door. She took a deep breath before gathering enough courage to knock on the door. When Mr. Mason opened the door, she dared not look into his eyes. “Mr. Mason, I’m terribly sorry that I broke your window when playing football,” she murmured. Mr. Mason smiled and let her in, saying, “Emily, I truly appreciate your honesty. Just forget about my window.” Hearing his words, Emily breathed a sigh of relief and offered to fix the broken window the next day.

It was July 15, 2021, and my friends had helped me celebrate my 31st birthday in the basement apartment of my sister’s home, where I lived.
Earlier in the day I had prepared for the unlikely event of a flood. We are about a third of a mile from the banks of the Ahr River. It had been raining that week, and authorities had issued a flood warning, though not for where I was. Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and piled clothing on tables. Before my friends left, they laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, “Why take a chance ”
As I went to sleep, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water. When I swung my legs off the bed, I was shocked by the sensation of cold-water lapping against my knees and rising fast. The Ahr River had violently burst its banks. And I had to get out fast!
The water was now up to my waist. I started to wade to my only escape: the door that leads upstairs to the rest of the house. Finally, I made it to the door. I managed to make a gap of about a foot, just wide enough to squeeze through and make it into the hallway. I leaped onto the stairs and ran to the third floor.
The river had drowned the neighborhood. What was once a lovely, cozy street was now a waterscape. More than 180 people died, and parts of villages were entirely washed away. Many of the houses around us were destroyed. Not everyone got out.
I came close to drowning that day. But rather than dwell on that, I prefer to recall what my mother told me afterward, “Christian, don’t remember the day when you lost everything. Remember the day you survived.”
4. What does the underlined word “that” refer to
A. Celebrating a birthday. B. Managing the garden.
C. Warning friends of a flood. D. Preparing for the flood.
5. Why did the author try to open the door
A. To let the water out. B. To keep things being swept away.
C. To reduce the flow of water. D. To escape to the upstairs.
6. What is the main idea of the fifth paragraph about the flood
A. Its cause. B. Its damage. C. Its scale. D. Its process.
7. Why did the author quote his mother’s words
A. To show his hope for the future. B. To indicate the loss of everything.
C. To highlight the power of flooding. D. To stress the role of good luck.
C
Just by typing a few keywords and waiting a few seconds, a picture comparable to that painted by a human artist appears on screen.
AI art generators have seemingly swept the Chinese Internet. In some paintings created by AI, an elderly man can be shown as a young animated image, and pets can be turned into adorable cartoon girls or boys.
Huang Ge, an illustrator from Shanghai, said that it usually takes him several hours or days to complete one illustration. But with AI art generators, the efficiency is greatly improved. “Also, the generators have many modification (修改) modes, and the picture can be modified directly in the painting software,” he added. Ding Jiao, a comic artist, considers the popularity of AI art generator s reasonable as many people who are not good at drawing can create great works through them.
So is Al painting gradually replacing human painting In the hot topic “Using a picture to prove that human artists will never be replaced by Al” online, many netizens uploaded their paintings to prove that humans are better than AI. “Though Al technology has developed rapidly, AI cannot fully replace humans. The warmth and inspiration in human creations are irreplaceable,” said Ding Daoshi, an independent analyst.
Another controversial issue is that there is no consensus (共识) of who owns the copyright of AI art. Some users have openly sold their AI paintings and earned money, but it is still a gray area about whether these artworks belong to users, the digital tool developers or even AI.
Ding Daoshi noted that the various sides should get together to debate the issue and come up with some accepted rules as soon as possible because AI is already penetrating deeply into the lives of human beings.

As kids’ behaviour reaches crisis points after the pandemic, many schools are facing pressure from critics to rethink their approaches to discipline.
Approaches such as “restorative justice” were adopted widely in recent decades as educators updated the policies that cut off students’ access to learning, such as suspensions and expulsions (停学和开除). But more students have been acting out, and some school systems have faced questions from teachers, parents and lawmakers about whether a gentle approach can effectively solve problems that disrupt (扰乱) classrooms.
According to federal data, instances of misbehavior have been increasing since students returned to classrooms from the pandemic. A National Center for Education Statistics survey found 56% of respondents said the pandemic led to increased classroom disruptions from students’ misbehavior and 48%said it led to more acts of disrespect toward teachers and staff.
Rachel Perera studies education at the Brookings Institution. “There’s a lot of pressure on schools right now,” she said. “Schools also say they don’t have the resources to address more behavioral problems, and I worry that that will cause schools to fall back on old practices that are not effective in terms of supporting students in the way they need.”
Using restorative justice does not mean a school cannot remove a disruptive student from the classroom, said Thalia González, a professor at the UC College of the Law. But unlike other forms of discipline, restorative practices aim to deal with the root cause of students’ behavior and reintegrated them into classroom.
“That’s the problem with punitive discipline such as suspensions and expulsions,” González said. “You get removed and then you just come back. There’s nothing done to reintegrate into the community and rebuild the climate, the sense of safety, all the things that we know are so important to young people learning.”
12. What do we learn about “restorative justice” according to Paragraph 2
A. It cuts off students’ access to learning.
B. It’s favored by both teachers and parents.
C. It’s less serious than suspensions and expulsions.
D. It’s more effective than suspensions and expulsions.
13. What did the survey by a National Center for Education Statistics find
A. An increase in students’ misbehavior. B. Ways to deal with students’ misbehavior.
C. An improvement on students’ performance. D. Resources to address behavioral problems.
14 What was Thalia Gonzalez’s attitude to suspensions and expulsions
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Confused. D. Supportive.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Why are schools relying on restorative justice
B. Is restorative justice an effective problem-solving approach
C. How do schools make use of restorative justice
D. What sets restorative justice apart from other discipline methods

Emily ran like the wind to the ball and kicked it so hard that it flew over the fence of her garden and into the neighbor’s house. There was a sharp cracking sound.

The sun was setting. Emily knew that it was not secure for her to stay out so late. Eventually, as the light faded, she returned home, keeping her eyes wide open for the neighbor.
