When Param Jaggi was five years old, he had a passion to take things apart to see what was inside. He started with toys and even broke a computer, which made his parents not too pleased. As he got older, he shifted from breaking things to building things, which greatly comforted his parents. In middle school, he started working on projects in his kitchen laboratory, and his first project was making biofuels.
Although Jaggi’s parents initially thought his experiments were just a boyhood fancy, he remained determined to make a difference to the environment. Eventually, his parents came around and started supporting his dreams. Jaggi’s interest continued as he grew up, but he focused more on solving real problems, especially those related to the environment.
At 17, Jaggi went beyond his school projects and co-founded Ecoviate, a company that uses technology to solve everyday energy and environmental problems. He planned to transform people’s idea that going green is expensive, by making available a series of affordable products that are easy to use. Through Ecoviate, he designed products that could contribute to a greener future. One of his notable inventions was the “CO2ube”, a device that could reduce carbon emissions, and it’s available to many people at low prices.
Young Jaggi, now a third-grade college student studying engineering and economics, has become a famous eco-innovator and his company is developing promisingly. However, Jaggi’s vision to save the environment goes beyond creating products. He plans to launch an online platform through Ecoviate, which will encourage young students interested in science and technology to get actively involved in innovation and invention. Students can submit a science project online, and talk about the help that they need to make the project a reality.
4. What can we learn about Jaggi
A. He dreamed to be an engineer. B. He was curious by nature.
C. He always annoyed his parents. D. He was addicted to playing toys.
5. What do you infer about Jaggi’s parents in Paragraph 2
A. They were fed up with Jaggi.
B. They were satisfied with Jaggi’s experiments at the beginning.
C. They change their mind and were in favor of Jaggi’s experiments at last.
D. They thought Jaggi’s experiments were fantastic .
6. What drove Jaggi to develop affordable and user-friendly products

Seagrass meadows(海草床)are wonder plants growing beneath the sea. They feed and shelter sea life and are masterful at storing carbon.
Seagrass has usually been detected by Earth-orbiting satellites that identify darker patches in the blue water. In this study, tiger sharks were selected as research tools due to their highly consistent associations with seagrass ecosystems. They spend 70% of their time in seagrass meadows. The team equipped eight tiger sharks with satellite tags and used a 360-degree camera on them for the first time ever.
The data researchers collected was astonishing. The world’s largest seagrass ecosystem, measuring at least 66,900 square kilometers, has been discovered. This reflects a 41% increase from previous estimates of global seagrass. Seagrass can capture(捕获)huge quantities of carbon by photosynthesis and stores it on the seafloor. In terms of climate change, this is excellent news; seagrass is 35 times faster at removing carbon than tropical rainforests. When referred to global seagrass carbon stock estimates, the study indicates that seagrass in the Bahamas may contain 19.2% to 26.3% of all the carbon stored in seagrass meadows on Earth.
Yet seagrass meadows are rapidly disappearing, with over 92% of meadows in the UK gone, according to the World Wildlife Fund. Scientists are collecting seeds and trying to grow new seagrass meadows through restoration projects.
The sharks led us to the seagrass ecosystem in the Bahamas, which we now know is likely the most significant blue carbon sink on the planet. What this discovery shows us is that ocean exploration and research are essential for a healthy future. The untapped potential of the ocean is limitless, offering hope for climate change around the globe.
8. Why were tiger sharks chosen as research tools
A. hey are more flexible than other sea animals.
B. They can quickly adjust themselves to the deep sea.
C. They can be easily equipped with experimental devices.
D. They have a strong connection with seagrass-ecosystems.
9. What are the numbers in paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The decline of global seagrass meadows.
B. The impact of climate change on sea life.
C. The rapid increase in the amount of carbon on Earth.
D. The potential value of the world’s largest seagrass ecosystem.
10. What are scientists doing to protect seagrass
A. Planting more seagrass meadows.
B. Developing new technology to collect seeds.
C. Mapping the distribution of seagrass meadows.
D. Encouraging people to join in restoration projects.
11. Which could be the best title for the text
A. The New Way of Removing Carbon
B. The Significance of Ocean Exploration.
C. A New Discovery: World’s Largest Seagrass Meadow
D. Tiger Sharks: Scientists’ Essential Helper to Study Climate
D
Many got sleepless nights after Sora amazed the world with its remarkable ability of creating videos directly from text instructions. Discussions about what the artificial intelligence model can do and make a difference continue.
Some said it could give a huge blow to traditional industries such as film and television making, looking forward to the day when a movie can be created right after a novel is put into the model. But others remain skeptical about how powerful the model can be in changing the landscape of AI application.
Developed by a group of young talent from Microsoft-backed company OpenAI the text-to-video model can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and adherence to the user’s prompt.
Shen Yang, a professor at the School of Journalism and Communication, Tsinghua University , said, “Sora represents a revolutionary leap in the field of AI-generated content (AIGC).”
As one of the leading scholars in AI research in China, Shen leads a team that studies the philosophy of AI. Until he learned about Sora on February 16, Shen was quite satisfied with his team’s AI-generated videos. A two-minute video on the Spring Festival produced by Shen’s team have recently won many likes on social media platforms. “Compared with the new model Sora, what we used are tools of the previous generation. There’s a huge gap in between," said Shen.
As a frequent user of AI, Shen said the technology not only helps improve his productivity, but also benefits his daily life. His wife was suffering from cancer and many complications, and he used AI to assist in finding treatment, which has remarkably prolonged her life. He even wrote an award-winning science fiction novel using AI.
However, new technologies do not mean good news to everyone. Many also concern about AI models’ safety issues since related regulations are lagging behind.
Sora is going to bring changes in many fields, including short video, film and television, news, games, advertising, education, and even industrial manufacturing, according to Shen. There is still much room to improve AI models. For instance, current AI models are not capable of drawing characters accurately and quickly. Shop signs lack meaning in Sora’s demo video showing a woman walking down a street in Tokyo. But these problems are believed to be solved as models update.
12. Which of the following might have similar meaning to the underlined word in Paragraph 2
A. push. B. strike. C. warning. D. bonus.
13. What can we know from the passage
A. All people can not benefit from the new AI technologies.
B. AI model’s safety isn’t concerning despite lagging legal restrictions.
C. The AI-generated videos by Shen Yang’s team were better than those created by Sora.
D. The text-to-video model was developed by a group of young talent from Tsinghua University.
14. What kind of attitude does Shen have towards Sora
A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Unconcerned. D. Reserved.
15. Which of the following is the best title
A. Sora: An AI video. B. Video Making: AI Models.
C. Sora: A Powerful AI Tool. D. Video Making: Future of AI.

But that day, something changed. I'll never forget the look on Mary's face when she knocked over her mother's favorite vase that was on the table. The flowers and vase crashed to the floor, and the vase cracked into tons of tiny little pieces. I looked at Mary and said, “There's no way to fix this!”
Mary burst into tears. “What am I going to do What am I going to say ” She looked at me while she wiped her tears and asked, “Can you say that you did it ”
I was shocked. I didn't know what to do or say, and I started to pace back and forth. “Okay, I'll do it.” I said.
That very second, her mother came downstairs to ask about the loud noise she had just heard. Mary said, “Mom, we were sitting on the couch, and Michelle put her feet on the table and knocked on the vase.”
Her mother looked at me and shook her head. “I don't know how many times I have to tell you girls, you don't put your feet on the table.”
I apologized to Mary's mother and told her I would buy her a new vase. She said not to worry, but us be more careful. I felt so bad. I knew that I had kept Mary out of trouble, but I also felt that it wasn't right. I didn't go over to Mary's for a few days, and she didn't come to my house, either. I was busy cleaning and doing extra chore (杂活)

When Param Jaggi was five years old, he had a passion to take things apart to see what was inside. He started with toys and even broke a computer, which made his parents not too pleased. As he got older, he shifted from breaking things to building things, which greatly comforted his parents. In middle school, he started working on projects in his kitchen laboratory, and his first project was making biofuels.
Although Jaggi’s parents initially thought his experiments were just a boyhood fancy, he remained determined to make a difference to the environment. Eventually, his parents came around and started supporting his dreams. Jaggi’s interest continued as he grew up, but he focused more on solving real problems, especially those related to the environment.
At 17, Jaggi went beyond his school projects and co-founded Ecoviate, a company that uses technology to solve everyday energy and environmental problems. He planned to transform people’s idea that going green is expensive, by making available a series of affordable products that are easy to use. Through Ecoviate, he designed products that could contribute to a greener future. One of his notable inventions was the “CO2ube”, a device that could reduce carbon emissions, and it’s available to many people at low prices.
Young Jaggi, now a third-grade college student studying engineering and economics, has become a famous eco-innovator and his company is developing promisingly. However, Jaggi’s vision to save the environment goes beyond creating products. He plans to launch an online platform through Ecoviate, which will encourage young students interested in science and technology to get actively involved in innovation and invention.

Seagrass meadows(海草床)are wonder plants growing beneath the sea. They feed and shelter sea life and are masterful at storing carbon.
Seagrass has usually been detected by Earth-orbiting satellites that identify darker patches in the blue water. In this study, tiger sharks were selected as research tools due to their highly consistent associations with seagrass ecosystems. They spend 70% of their time in seagrass meadows. The team equipped eight tiger sharks with satellite tags and used a 360-degree camera on them for the first time ever.
The data researchers collected was astonishing. The world’s largest seagrass ecosystem, measuring at least 66,900 square kilometers, has been discovered. This reflects a 41% increase from previous estimates of global seagrass. Seagrass can capture(捕获)huge quantities of carbon by photosynthesis and stores it on the seafloor. In terms of climate change, this is excellent news; seagrass is 35 times faster at removing carbon than tropical rainforests. When referred to global seagrass carbon stock estimates, the study indicates that seagrass in the Bahamas may contain 19.2% to 26.3% of all the carbon stored in seagrass meadows on Earth.
Yet seagrass meadows are rapidly disappearing, with over 92% of meadows in the UK gone, according to the World Wildlife Fund. Scientists are collecting seeds and trying to grow new seagrass meadows through restoration projects.
The sharks led us to the seagrass ecosystem in the Bahamas, which we now know is likely the most significant blue carbon sink on the planet. What this discovery shows us is that ocean exploration and research are essential for a healthy future. The untapped potential of the ocean is limitless, offering hope for climate change around the globe.
8. Why were tiger sharks chosen as research tools
A. hey are more flexible than other sea animals.
B. They can quickly adjust themselves to the deep sea.
C. They can be easily equipped with experimental devices.
D. They have a strong connection with seagrass-ecosystems.

Many got sleepless nights after Sora amazed the world with its remarkable ability of creating videos directly from text instructions. Discussions about what the artificial intelligence model can do and make a difference continue.
Some said it could give a huge blow to traditional industries such as film and television making, looking forward to the day when a movie can be created right after a novel is put into the model. But others remain skeptical about how powerful the model can be in changing the landscape of AI application.
Developed by a group of young talent from Microsoft-backed company OpenAI, the text-to-video model can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and adherence to the user’s prompt.
Shen Yang, a professor at the School of Journalism and Communication, Tsinghua University , said, “Sora represents a revolutionary leap in the field of AI-generated content (AIGC).”
As one of the leading scholars in AI research in China, Shen leads a team that studies the philosophy of AI. Until he learned about Sora on February 16, Shen was quite satisfied with his team’s AI-generated videos. A two-minute video on the Spring Festival produced by Shen’s team have recently won many likes on social media platforms. “Compared with the new model Sora, what we used are tools of the previous generation. There’s a huge gap in between," said Shen.
As a frequent user of AI, Shen said the technology not only helps improve his productivity, but also benefits his daily life. His wife was suffering from cancer and many complications, and he used AI to assist in finding treatment, which has remarkably prolonged her life. He even wrote an award-winning science fiction novel using AI.
However, new technologies do not mean good news to everyone. Many also concern about AI models’ safety issues since related regulations are lagging behind.
Sora is going to bring changes in many fields, including short video, film and television, news, games, advertising, education, and even industrial manufacturing, according to Shen. There is still much room to improve AI models. For instance, current AI models are not capable of drawing characters accurately and quickly. Shop signs lack meaning in Sora’s demo video showing a woman walking down a street in Tokyo. But these problems are believed to be solved as models update.
12. Which of the following might have similar meaning to the underlined word in Paragraph 2
A. push. B. strike. C. warning. D. bonus.
13. What can we know from the passage
A. All people can not benefit from the new AI technologies.
B. AI model’s safety isn’t concerning despite lagging legal restrictions.
C. The AI-generated videos by Shen Yang’s team were better than those created by Sora.
D. The text-to-video model was developed by a group of young talent from Tsinghua University.
14 What kind of attitude does Shen have towards Sora
A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Unconcerned. D. Reserved.
15. Which of the following is the best title
A. Sora: An AI video. B. Video Making: AI Models.
C. Sora: A Powerful AI Tool. D. Video Making: Future of AI.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了Sora这个强大的AI工具并对其在改变人工智能应用前景方面的强大程度展开了讨论。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“looking forward to the day when a movie can be created right after a novel is put into the model.(期待着把小说放进模型里，马上就能拍成电影的一天。)”可知，有人说，这将给电影、电视等传统产业带来巨大的冲击。由此可知，blow意为“冲击”。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第七段“However, new technologies do not mean good news to everyone. Many also concern about AI models’ safety issues since related regulations are lagging behind.(然而，新技术并不对每个人都意味着好消息。由于相关法规滞后，很多人担心人工智能模型的安全性问题。)”可推知，并不是所有人都能从新的人工智能技术中受益。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Shen Yang, a professor at the School of Journalism and Communication, Tsinghua University , said, “Sora represents a revolutionary leap in the field of AI-generated content (AIGC).”(清华大学新闻与传播学院教授沈阳表示:“Sora代表了人工智能生成内容(AIGC)领域的革命性飞跃。”)”可推知，Shen对Sora持支持态度。故选A。
【15题详解】

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了近年来食物成为年轻人最喜欢的旅行主题之一，特别提到了甘肃天水因麻辣火锅而走红。文章详细描述了天水麻辣火锅的独特食材和制作过程，并介绍了天水这座千年古城的其他旅游景点和历史人物。
【36题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：近年来，美食已经成为年轻人最喜欢的旅游主题之一。分析句子可知，become(成为)是句中谓语动词，与主语food之间是主动关系，句中有时间状语In recent years，表示从过去持续到现在的动作，应使用现在完成时态，又因主语是不可数名词，谓语动词应使用单数形式。综上，谓语应用现在完成时的主动语态，单数形式。故填has become。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意：2024年，甘肃天水因其麻辣火锅而成为另一个淄博或哈尔滨。根据句意，表示“天水的火锅”，应用形容词性物主代词its作定语。故填its。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：天水甘谷的辣椒，武都的花椒，庄朗的宽粉，定西的土豆……这些独特的食材被认为是甘肃麻辣火锅的灵魂。可数名词ingredient作主语，有代词these修饰，用复数形式。故填ingredients。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：它们通常一到两元一串，不会贵得让人买不起。提示词修饰整个句子，作评注性状语，用副词typically，意为“通常”。故填typically。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：它们通常一到两元一串，不会贵得让人买不起。too...to...是固定搭配，意为“太……而不能……”，用不定式作结果状语。故填to afford。
【41题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：挑选自己喜欢交给老板后，各种食材在滚烫的汤里煮熟，放进没有木棍的盘子里;原来的汤被舀在上面；最后倒入两勺辣椒油，在碗中释放出阵阵香气。“ you like”作宾语，是宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，表示“(你喜欢的)事情”，用连接代词what引导该从句并在从句中作宾语。故填what。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：挑选自己喜欢的交给老板后，各种食材在滚烫的汤里煮熟，放进没有木棍的盘子里;原来的汤被舀在上面；最后倒入两勺辣椒油，在碗中释放出阵阵香气。提示词作定语，boil(沸腾，煮沸)是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语soup之间是主动关系，用现在分词表主动和正在发生。故填boiling。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：挑选自己喜欢的交给老板后，各种食材在滚烫的汤里煮熟，放进没有木棍的盘子里;原来的汤被舀在上面；最后倒入两勺辣椒油，在碗中释放出阵阵香气。“(release) an explosion of aroma (芳香) within the bowl”作结果状语，release(释放)是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语“倒入两勺辣椒油”之间是主动关系，用现在分词表示情理之中的结果。故填releasing。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：除了麻辣火锅，作为一座拥有2700多年历史的古城，天水还拥有麦积山石窟、南郭寺、西关古城等一系列景点。根据句意，表示“有……；具有……”，用介词with构成介词短语，作后置定语。故填with。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：一些历史人物，如姜维和李广都出生在这里。提示词作定语，用形容词historical，意为“历史的；历史上的”。故填historical 。

It was a beautiful sunny day, and Mary and I were playing in her new basement because it was so hot outside. The two of us were best friends, so we naturally did what best friends do-we did everything together. We went camping together, trusted each at her and always stuck up for each other.
But that day, something changed. I'll never forget the look on Mary's face when she knocked over her mother's favorite vase that was on the table. The flowers and vase crashed to the floor, and the vase cracked into tons of tiny little pieces. I looked at Mary and said, “There's no way to fix this!”
Mary burst into tears. “What am I going to do What am I going to say ” She looked at me while she wiped her tears and asked, “Can you say that you did it ”
I was shocked. I didn't know what to do or say, and I started to pace back and forth. “Okay, I'll do it.” I said.
That very second, her mother came downstairs to ask about the loud noise she had just heard. Mary said, “Mom, we were sitting on the couch, and Michelle put her feet on the table and knocked on the vase.”
Her mother looked at me and shook her head. “I don't know how many times I have to tell you girls, you don't put your feet on the table.”
I apologized to Mary's mother and told her I would buy her a new vase. She said not to worry, but us be more careful. I felt so bad. I knew that I had kept Mary out of trouble, but I also felt that it wasn't right. I didn't go over to Mary's for a few days, and she didn't come to my house, either. I was busy cleaning and doing extra chore (杂活)

I broke the vase, not Michelle.” she confessed. “I asked her to take the blame for me.” To our surprise, instead of critizing, Mary's mother softly talked about the importance of being honest.
Mary and I looked at each other with relief. Mary stepped forward and gave me a big hug, whispering sorry to me “Everything is ok.” I comforted her with a big smile. Then Mary told us that she would do something to make things right. Later that day, Mary picked out some beautiful flowers for her mom's new vase and a pretty friendship bracelet or me and she paid for then herself with her allowance. We've been closer because we know what true friendship is.
