When the Uzbek girl Dilsora firstly met what seemed more like a Western-style dragon than a Chinese one, a beast to run away from her rather than a friend to be respected, she was at a loss about it. "Before college, I caught an interview on TV featuring an Uzbek student studying in China, she tweeted, however, I didn't have the slightest idea that this language would be my future major in college. Then, when I started studying it at college, oh, jeez …pretty challenging!" Nevertheless, as with a dragon story, there is a twist in the tail, and Dilsora's despair gave way to nobler principles. "Give up Nope! Instead, I pressed on with Chinese." she added with a giggle, "My mother also encouraged me all the way!"
Gradually, her feelings toward Chinese changed in the second year of college after Dilsora got a scholarship to study at Northeast Normal University in Changchun for a year, which proved a big turn on the pages of her fulfilling life.
"The first time I came to China, amazingly engaging were the locals, by whom I was totally fascinated. In spite of myself, I fell in love with Chinese culture." Since then she has got master's and doctoral degrees, becoming a college teacher in Beijing, teaching Uzbek to Chinese students. In her spare time, being an all-nighter, she often loses herself in Chinese masterpieces. Two years later, on Instagram, she even set up a Chinese Reading Club to attract more to read.
"Although I am ordinary," just as she, now the boss of the Reading Club, matter-of-factly put it, "since I 've come this far, I am to come further. Harvesting the best outcome is my lasting dream." Those primary schoolers hearing the tale of Dilsora devoting so much to Chinese learning might be several times more likely to learn Chinese hard than those who didn't, as Jimu news staff predicted.
Besides, Dilsora has answered another calling: translating books by Chinese president into Uzbek. She said the leader's foresight has impressed her greatly.
24. What does the underlined words "a twist in the tail" in paragraph 1 refer to
A. The turning point of a story. B. The turning movement of a dragon's tail.
C. The highest point of a story. D. The dancing movement of a dragon's tail.
25. How did Dilsora feel when she started to study Chinese
A. Defeated but determined B. Relieved but regretful
C. Excited but challenged D. Exhausted but content
26. What message does the story of Dilsora mainly convey
A. Mother's love is endless.
B. While in Roman, do as the Romans do.
C. Nothing is difficult for those who will try.
D. East or west, home is the best.
27. What might be talked about next following the last paragraph
A. Dilsora's personal dream. B. Dilsora's family background.
C. Chinese leaders ' works. D. Chinese leaders' hobbies.
C
"Why does grandpa have ear hair " Just a few years ago my child was so curious to know "why" and "how" that we had to cut off her questions five minutes before bedtime. Now a soon-to-be fourth grader, she says that she dislikes school because "it's not fun to learn." I am shocked. As a scientist and parent, I have done all to promote a love of learning in my children. Where did I go wrong
My child's experience is not unique. Psychologist Susan Engel notes that curiosity—defined as "spontaneous (自发的) investigation and eagerness for new information" —drops greatly in children by the fourth grade.
In Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelong Love of Science, Yale psychologist Frank C. Keil details the development of wonder—a spontaneous passion to explore, discover, and understand. He takes us on a journey from its early development, when wonder drives common sense and scientific reasoning, through the drop-off in wonder that often occurs, to the trap of life in a society that denies wonder.
As Keil notes, children are rich in wonder while they are rapidly developing causal mechanisms (因果机制) in the preschool and early elementary school years. They are sensitive to the others' knowledge and goals, and they expertly use their desire for questioning. Children's questions, particularly those about "why" and "how," support the development of causal mechanisms which can be used to help their day-to-day reasoning.
Unfortunately, as Keil notes, "adults greatly underestimate (低估) young children's causal mechanisms." In the book, Wonder, Keil shows that we can support children's ongoing wonder by playing games with them as partners, encouraging question-asking, and focusing on their abilities to reason and conclude.
A decline in wonder is not unavoidable. Keil reminds us that we can accept wonder as a positive quality that exists in everyone. I value wonder deeply, and Wonder has given me hope by suggesting a future for my children that will remain wonder-full.
28. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage in paragraph 1
A. By listing some statistics. B. By presenting an explanation.
C. By making some comparison. D. By asking some questions.
29. What is a common problem among fourth graders
A. They annoy their parents too often.
B. They ask too many strange questions.
C. Their desire for fun disappears quickly.
D. Their desire to learn weakens sharply.
30. What can be inferred about children's causal mechanisms in paragraph 4
A. They control children's sensitivity.
B. They slightly change in early childhood.
C. They hardly support children's reasoning.
D. They develop by children's questioning.
31. What is the text
A. A news report. B. A book review.
C. A research paper. D. A children's story.
D
Many oohed and aahed after Sora amazed the world with its superb ability of creating videos directly from text instructions. Discussions about what the artificial intelligence model can do to make a difference continue.
Some said it could be a 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 doubtful about how powerful the novel model can be in changing the landscape of AI application.
The text-to-video model, developed by a group of young talent from Microsoft-backed company Open AI, can produce videos up to a minute long while keeping visual quality, challenging AI products by Musk to some extent.
"Sora marks a great advance in the field of AI-generated content (AIGC)." Shen Yang, a professor in Tsinghua , argued. As one of the leading scholars in AI research in China, Shen leads a team conducting studies of the philosophy of AI. Shen sang high praises of Sora because, even if satisfied with his team's AI-generated videos after a two-minute video on the Spring Festival produced by Shen's team had recently made waves on social media platforms, he said, "Compared with the new model Sora, what we used are tools of the previous generation. There's a huge gap in between…"
Shen highlighted that not only does the technology contribute to his productivity, but it also benefits his daily life. His wife was suffering from cancer, and he used Sora to assist in finding treatment, greatly prolonging(延长) her life. He even wrote a science fiction novel using Sora.
However, new technologies may not be good news to everyone. Many also concern about AI models' safety since related rules are far from enough .
Sora is going to bring about changes in many fields. There is still much room to improve AI models. For instance, current AI models can't draw characters accurately and quickly. Shop signs lack meaning in Sora's demo(示范性的) video showing a woman walking down a street in Tokyo. But these problems are believed to be settled as models update.
32. Why does the author mention people's different opinions towards Sora in paragraph 2
A. To advertise open AI. B. To reflect the conflicts.
C. To introduce Shen's attitude. D. To praise the significance of Sora.
33. What kind of attitude does Shen have towards Sora
A. Unconcerned. B. Objective. C. Favorable. D. Reserved.
34. What might reflect the disadvantages of Sora according to the passage
A. No safety rules. B. Not enough accuracy if drawing quickly.
C. No model updating. D. Not enough logic if showing videos
35. Which of the following is the best title
A. Sora: An AI video B. Shen Yang: a video-making pioneer
C. Sora: A Powerful AI Tool D. Shen Yang and AI-generated videos

I used to live across the road from a camp. For nine months out of a year, the camp was mostly empty, no chaos. Hence, it turned out to be my own personal playground. 36 . Yep! Like a free bird, I would ride my bike up and down the quiet road. I would shoot basketballs alone at the court. I would even explore the woodlands near the camp to look for buried treasures in my fantasy.
In summer when the camp opened, I would swim every day at the pool. 37 , because my smiling mum worked there, who would hand me a hot bread roll and some coins from her pocket. Then I headed for the vending(售卖) machine and bought myself a can of Coca Cola to satisfy my thirst and lighten my heart. In a split second, those memories are over 40 years old, yet they still occur to me in my mind like it were yesterday.
38 . I would advise him to enjoy and cherish each day he had there. I would teach him that every moment is a gift of life. I would caution him to be here now and try not to blink(眨眼睛) because the years were flying silently. Most of all, I would remind him to stop and hug his mum every chance he got.
However, just as the old saying goes, "Bygone is bygone!" 39 . The longest life still seems too brief to learn all we have to learn, and to share the love we need to share.
It is crucial to bear in mind that, despite years of hustle and bustle, we should see the preciousness of each and every second, and live it like it was our last. 40 .
A. May we all do so
B. We will all have a nice future
C. However, I felt anything but lonely
D. It seems that life is such a long marathon at times
E. It seems that life is such a fast-paced journey at times
F. If only I could go back to the past and talk to that little boy
G: It was often the case that I stole into the kitchen to get my own treasure afterwards

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
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。
Jessica wasn't doing well enough at school, or at least she wasn't satisfied with herself. She wished she could do better.
"Let's review the material we learned in the last unit," the history teacher said. "Who can tell us what caused the War of 1812 " Jessica sat at her desk, staring ahead. She hoped the teacher wouldn't call her name. They hadn't studied the War of 1812 at her old school and she didn't know the answer.
"Alison " the teacher asked instead. Oh, perfect, Jessica thought. Of course Alison would have the answer. She seemed to have all the answers. Alison was the most popular girl in school-always surrounded by millions of best friends. She was like a brilliant sun.
Jessica hadn't made one or two friends of her own so far. Her old school was small and low-key, but a shy person Jessica had a chance there, who always stood out among peers in study and play. This new school, however, seemed as big as an airport to Jessica, and it seemed very hard to get around in it. She still got lost sometimes in the school.
Jessica frowned(皱眉) as Alison answered the teacher's question. Alison probably never got lost, Jessica thought to herself. You could probably put Alison down in the middle of a desert, and within five minutes she 'd be able to tell you the best way to get home.
History class finally ended, and Jessica headed for the gym. The class had been playing basketball. Alison, who was as tall and thin and attractive as a tree, was very good at it. Beside her, Jessica felt like a very small and foolish ant. Today, however, the gym teacher pointed to a thick rope hanging from the ceiling and said, "Everybody! You're going to climb this rope today."
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。
Hearing the teacher's words, Jessica smiled. Jessica stepped forward and got close to the rope.

W: You picked a great movie! Thanks for asking me to go with you!
M: Not at all. And I was wondering whether you'd like to join me for a hike to the waterfalls this Saturday. I'll pick you up.
W: That would be great! What time would you like to pick me up
M: I plan to arrive there by 9:00 so that it won't be too hot for the hike. In that case, we'll have to leave about an hour earlier.
W: Okay, see you on Saturday!
(Text9) W: Good morning. I'm Ann Wells. I'm calling about the job that was in the newspaper last night.
M: Oh, yes. Could you tell me something about yourself
W: Well, I majored in French at University of Manchester. And I can speak fluent Italian. After graduation I became a secretary in Geneva.
M: Geneva. Do you have any special reason for wanting to come back
W: I thought it would be nice to be near the family.
M: I see. Well, I think you'd better reply in writing to the advertisement first.
W: Can't I arrange for an interview now
M: Well, I'm afraid we must wait until we get all the applications, and then decide on the short list. If you are on the short list, of course we should see you.
W: Oh, I see.
M: I look forward to receiving your application in writing in a day or two.
W: Oh, yes, certainly. Thank you very much. Goodbye.

M: Maxine is famous for setting up the first dog shelter in her hometown. It all started when she was walking to school one day when she was ten. She has always wanted a dog, and she saw one outside her school. The dog was friendly, but it was hungry and dirty. She wanted to help the dog, but she had to go to school. In school that day, she read a book about a shelter for pets. It was set up in a small town, and local people paid for it. This gave Maxine an idea. After school, she found the dog and took it home. After she washed it and fed it, it looked happy and cute. Her neighbor asked if she could give the dog to his five-year-old son. After this, Maxine decided to start the Happy Paw s Shelter. She gets money from the city government and other dog lovers. And when a family comes and finds a new pet, they sometimes give her money. Maxine hopes to start more dog shelters in small towns nearby before she goes to college next year.

Dear Tom,
I am sorry to hear that you were in low spirits after you did not do well in your learning Chinese poems. What was worse, you lost heart and no longer studied as hard as before.
Actually we always meet problems in learning Chinese poems, which are the essence of Chinese culture . However, why don't you take an active attitude towards the temporary trouble By encouraging ourseleves and reading more poems loudly, we will find the sense of language so that we could no longer feel it challenging.
Just as the old saying goes, practice makes perfect. Only with more practice can we harvest/reap the fruit of success.
Yours Lihua

Paragraph 1:
Hearing the teacher's words, Jessica smiled. She knew what was coming. They'd done lots of physical fitness training at her old school and she was quite good at rope climbing. "Who's first " the teacher asked. "Alison " To Jessica's surprise, Alison shook her head. "She's scared," Jessica thought. "Perfect Alison was scared." Suddenly Jessica heard her own voice echoing, "I'll do it." Alison looked up at Jessica in great surprise, and all the other classmates seemed surprised, too. Smilingly , the teacher nodded and told Jessica to climb.
Paragraph 2:
Jessica stepped forward and got close to the rope. She appeared calm but was extremely excited. She climbed the rope very fast and reached the ceiling within what seemed a few seconds, effortlessly. As she reached the top, she glanced down at her fellow students below. Now it was Alison who appeared like a small ant. She saw Alison looking up, eyes wide with admiration. Once she returned to the ground, everybody cheered. Jessica knew she would be different from that day on.
