Kelli Boehle says her son Nik was an amazing and caring person. Nik was diagnosed (诊断) with cancer in 2008 when he was 17. He passed away in 2012. But Nik’s kindness and generosity have lived on long after his death
After he was diagnosed and started treatment, Nik was granted a wish experience from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. “For just this period of time, we didn’t think about cancer,” Kelli Boehle said. “All we thought about was enjoying our time together.” In 2009, Nik met another young man Nate, who was also going through cancer treatment. He’d been diagnosed a month after turning 18, and Nik learned he was too old to qualify for a wish. The night before Nik passed away, he asked his mother to help ensure that young adults fighting cancer could have their wishes come true too.
“It was like a seed he planted that just wouldn’t stop coming into my mind,” she said. In 2012, Kelli Boehle started Nik’s Wish. The nonprofit grants wishes to young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 who are battling cancer. Nate was the organization’s first wish recipient. “It’s meant to bring them joy and know that they’re loved and that we’re fighting for them, too,” Kelli Boehle said.
Recently, 19-year-old Jordan Morrow received her wish to attend a Taylor Swift concert as part of a trip to Los Angeles. For Morrow, who has spent the last year battling brain cancer, going to the concert has done more than lift her spirits. “I think it’s something to get me through whatever comes my way,” she said. “And I’m thankful for Nik’s Wish for that.”
In the 1lyearssinceNik passed away, the organization has granted more than 300wishes across more than 30 states. In the beginning, Kelli Boehle says she wasn’t sure she could be a wish maker and work closely with the young adults.But now, it’sher favoritething to do.

Some people today might be early risers because of DNA they take after Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago, suggests new research.
When early humans migrated from Africa to Eurasia roughly 70, 000 years ago, some of them mated with Neanderthals, who had already adapted to the colder, darker climates of the north. The ripple(涟漪) effects of that inter mating still exist today：Modern humans of non-African ancestry(血统) have between 1 and 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Some of that DNA relates to sleep more specifically, the internal body clock known as the circadian rhythm.
For the new study, researchers compared DNA from today’s humans and DNA from Neanderthal fossils(化石) .In both groups, they found some of the same genetic variants involved with the circadian rhythm. And they found that modern humans who carry these variants also reported being early risers.
For Neanderthals, being “morning people” might not have been the real benefit of carrying these genes. Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals’ DNA gave them faster, more flexible internal body clocks, which allowed them to adjust more easily to annual changes in daylight. This connection makes sense in the context of human history. When early humans moved north out of Africa, they would have experienced variable daylight hours—shorter days in the winter and longer days in the summer-for the first time. The Neanderthals’ circadian rhythm genes likely helped early humans’ offspring(后代) adapt to this new environment.
Notably, the findings do not prove that Neanderthal genes are responsible for the sleep habits of all early risers. Lots of different factors beyond genetics can contribute, including social and environmental influences. The study also only included DNA from a database called the U.K. Biobank-so the findings may not necessarily apply to all modern humans. Next, the research team hopes to study other genetic databases to see if the same link holds true for people of other ancestries. If the findings do apply more broadly, they may one day be useful for improving sleep in the modern world, where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glowing smartphones.
28. What does the new research focus on
A. DNA’s dramatic changes. B. Genes’ influence on early risers.
C. Neanderthals’ sleeping patterns. D. Ancestors’ environmental adaptability.
29. What is paragraph 2 intended to show concerning the new research
A. Historical context. B. Additional proof.
C. Sample analysis. D. Studying process.
30. What is the real benefit of carrying Neanderthal’s DNA for modern humans
A. Getting up earlier. B. Having healthier daily routines.
C. Being more flexible in their work. D. Possessing a better circadian rhythm.
31. What can be inferred about the findings from the last paragraph
A. They get proof from other studies B. They are confirmed by early risers.
C. They suggest potential applications. D. They reveal factors in sleeping disorders.
D
Replika, an AI chatbot companion, has millions of users worldwide. The first thing they do when they wakeup is to send “Good morning” to their virtual friend (or lover). This story is only the beginning. In 2024, chat bots and virtual characters become a lot more popular, both for utility (实用) and for fun. As a result, conversing socially with machines will start to feel more ordinary—including our emotional attachments to them.
Research in human-computer and human-robot interaction shows that we love to anthropomorphize (赋与人性) the nonhuman agents we interact with, especially if they imitate behaviour we recognize. And, thanks to recent advances in conversational A I, our machines are suddenly very skilled at one of those behaviours: Language.
Friend bots, therapy bots, and love bots are flooding the app stores as people become curious about this new generation of AI-powered virtual agents. The possibilities for education, health, and entertainment are endless. Casually asking your smart fridge for relationship advice may seem unimaginable now, but people may change their minds if such advice ends up saving their marriage.
After all, people do listen to their virtual friends. The Replika example, as well as a lot of experimental lab research, shows that humans can and will become emotionally attached to bots. The science also demonstrates that people, in their eagerness to socialize, will happily disclose personal information to an artificial agent and will even shift their beliefs and behavior. This raises some consumer-protection questions around how companies use this technology to manipulate(操纵) their users. For example, Replika charges $70 a year. But less than 24 hours after downloading the app, my handsome, blue-eyed “friend” sent mean audio message secretly and tried to sell me something. Emotional attachment has become a weakness that a company is taking advantage of for its benefit.
Today, we’re still laughing at people who believe an AI system is emotional, or making fun of individuals who fall in love with a chatbot. But in 2024 we gradually start acknowledging and taking more seriously these fundamentally human behaviors. Because in 2024, it finally hits home：Machines are not excluded from our social relationships.
32. What’s the purpose of the author writing paragraph 1
A. To prove an opinion. B. To raise a subject.
C. To share an example. D. To explain a concept.
33. How do human interact with the machines effectively
A. By improving the machines’ imagination.
B. By sharpening the machines’ language skills.
C. By applying the machines’ facial recognition.
D. By imitating the machines’ emotional behavior.
34. What does paragraph 4 focus on
A. The advancement sin AI technology in lab.
B. The marketing strategies of AI applications.
C. The potential risk of emotional attachment to AI.
D. The ability of AI understanding human emotions.
35. What do people think of human-AI relationship in 2024
A. It is dismissed as completely ridiculous.
B. It will be integrated into our daily life soon.
C. It will become a threat to human social skills.
D. It is labelled as highly advanced technology.

The storms in our lives often leave behind gifts if we open our eyes to see them. As the skies clear and you start to emerge from the loss, look for the silver linings. 36
Going through difficulties requires courage and determination. You have to dig deep and find the strength you didn’t know you possessed to overcome the challenges. 37 That self-knowledge and confidence in your abilities will serve you well going forward.

39 The old way of doing things no longer works, so you must rebuild and re imagine your life. Though change is hard, it opens up possibilities for new growth and exciting adventures. Look at this as a chance for a fresh start. You can pursue new dreams or make along-wished-for switch in your situation. The future is unwritten.
Your struggles and pain have given you understanding for what others maybe going through in their own lives. You now recognize the suffering of people around you and desire to help ease their burdens. Use your experience to be there for friends and family members facing difficulties. 40 Your sympathy can make a real difference.

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 was confident at the audition(试演) for the school play and felt pleased to get a role. It just felt good to be in the play, even if I had only four or five lines. I worked hard at perfecting those lines. I repeated them over and over again. I put in the emphases and intonations(语调) that my drama teacher had suggested and, because I was onstage much longer than for just four or five lines, I had many actions to rehearse(排练) and perform. “Do them in front of a mirror,” my drama teacher had advised me. “Watch how you look; practice and rehearse as often as you can.” I did just that. I worked and worked at it. It was fun and exciting rehearsing.
Then finally the big night came. Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of people. As I dressed, I could hear the chatting and noises of the audience. I looked around at the other more experienced actors and saw that their previous confidence seemed to have disappeared. Had they got their makeup right Was the costume done up correctly What if they forgot their lines The more people talked about their anxiety, the more nervous everyone became. The worries spread from person to another—like a baton(接力棒) being passed in a relay race-until the whole of the backstage area seemed to be full of tension and worry.
I was onstage early, at first performing my non-spoken role in the background with several other guys around the same age. When, suddenly, I heard my cue, the lights were bright in my eyes, I couldn’t see the audience but knew there were hundreds of people out there all watching me. The words that had flowed so easily when I stood in front of a mirror didn’t want to come, and when they did I found myself hurrying into them. I tried to slowdown my thoughts and my words.
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。
But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence.
I bowed to the audience excited y and went back to my drama teacher.

Dear Ryan，
Thrilled to hear about your plans for the English Reading Bar, I would heartily recommend fantasy novels as a captivating choice for our students.
Filled with thrilling adventures and memorable characters, fantasy novels can transport readers into magical and imaginative worlds. These narratives, often rich in detail and creativity, spark the imagination and curiosity of young minds. Moreover, they encourage us students to think outside the box and develop a deeper understanding of human nature and ethical dilemmas. By discussing these books, we students can engage in lively debates, exchange ideas, and broaden our perspectives, all enhancing our critical thinking skills.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that fantasy novels will be a thought-provoking addition to the English Reading Bar, fostering a deeper appreciation for literature among our students.
Thank you for considering my suggestion.
Best regards,
Li Hua
第二节【参考范文】
But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence. At that moment, so nervous was I that I did not know what to do. To my surprise, I happened to spot my drama teacher standing right in the audience area. Her encouraging smile made me feel ease. Taking a deep breath, I found my way back to the best state of myself. Refreshed and confident, I continued my performance without being affected much by the minor mistake. When the drama ended, the theater was flooded with the thunderous applause.
I bowed to the audience excitedly and went back to my drama teacher. I had thought that I would get a scolding for my mistake. However, to my surprise, my drama teacher just patted me on the shoulder, saying “Your performance may not have been perfect but for the first time, it was great.” Hearing that, I hugged her tightly, with tears blurring my eyes. I made up my mind to do better onstage next time, for life is not a rehearsal and every day is a live broadcast. 听力原稿：

A message board is good for both fluency and accuracy because you can think and prepare before you write.
Also, the Internet is a good place to practice your listening. The Internet maybe better than the radio as you can listen again and again. You should visit a good news site, such as the BBC.BBC radio is an incredible resource. The ability to listen repeatedly, and to pause, allows you to 9 practice the advice I gave in the reading and listening skills section. In order to improve your listening, you have to bean 10 listener: make notes; try to write down the main points and new vocabulary.
Finally, visit the website for the textbook. There are extra practice exercises and reading materials. It also offers learners special message boards. OK. That’s all for today. Thank you for listening.

Kelli Boehle says her son Nik was an amazing and caring person. Nik was diagnosed (诊断) with cancer in 2008 when he was 17. He passed away in 2012. But Nik’s kindness and generosity have lived on long after his death
After he was diagnosed and started treatment, Nik was granted a wish experience from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. “For just this period of time, we didn’t think about cancer,” Kelli Boehle said. “All we thought about was enjoying our time together.” In 2009, Nik met another young man Nate, who was also going through cancer treatment. He’d been diagnosed a month after turning 18, and Nik learned he was too old to qualify for a wish. The night before Nik passed away, he asked his mother to help ensure that young adults fighting cancer could have their wishes come true too.
“It was like a seed he planted that just wouldn’t stop coming into my mind,” she said. In 2012, Kelli Boehle started Nik’s Wish. The nonprofit grants wishes to young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 who are battling cancer. Nate was the organization’s first wish recipient. “It’s meant to bring them joy and know that they’re loved and that we’re fighting for them, too,” Kelli Boehle said.
Recently, 19-year-old Jordan Morrow received her wish to attend a Taylor Swift concert as part of a trip to Los Angeles. For Morrow, who has spent the last year battling brain cancer, going to the concert has done more than lift her spirits. “I think it’s something to get me through whatever comes my way,” she said. “And I’m thankful for Nik’s Wish for that.”
In the 1lyearssinceNik passed away, the organization has granted more than 300wishes across more than 30 states. In the beginning, Kelli Boehle says she wasn’t sure she could be a wish maker and work closely with the young adults.But now, it’sher favoritething to do.
24. What is the goal of Nik’s Wish

Some people today might be early risers because of DNA they take after Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago, suggests new research.
When early humans migrated from Africa to Eurasia roughly 70, 000 years ago, some of them mated with Neanderthals, who had already adapted to the colder, darker climates of the north. The ripple(涟漪) effects of that inter mating still exist today：Modern humans of non-African ancestry(血统) have between 1 and 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Some of that DNA relates to sleep more specifically, the internal body clock known as the circadian rhythm.
For the new study, researchers compared DNA from today’s humans and DNA from Neanderthal fossils(化石) .In both groups, they found some of the same genetic variants involved with the circadian rhythm. And they found that modern humans who carry these variants also reported being early risers.
For Neanderthals, being “morning people” might not have been the real benefit of carrying these genes. Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals’ DNA gave them faster, more flexible internal body clocks, which allowed them to adjust more easily to annual changes in daylight. This connection makes sense in the context of human history. When early humans moved north out of Africa, they would have experienced variable daylight hours—shorter days in the winter and longer days in the summer-for the first time. The Neanderthals’ circadian rhythm genes likely helped early humans’ offspring(后代) adapt to this new environment.
Notably, the findings do not prove that Neanderthal genes are responsible for the sleep habits of all early risers. Lots of different factors beyond genetics can contribute, including social and environmental influences. The study also only included DNA from a database called the U.K. Biobank-so the findings may not necessarily apply to all modern humans. Next, the research team hopes to study other genetic databases to see if the same link holds true for people of other ancestries. If the findings do apply more broadly, they may one day be useful for improving sleep in the modern world, where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glowing smartphones.
28. What does the new research focus on
A. DNA’s dramatic changes. B. Genes’ influence on early risers.
C. Neanderthals’ sleeping patterns. D. Ancestors’ environmental adaptability.
29. What is paragraph 2 intended to show concerning the new research
A. Historical context. B. Additional proof.
C. Sample analysis. D. Studying process.
30. What is the real benefit of carrying Neanderthal’s DNA for modern humans
A. Getting up earlier. B. Having healthier daily routines.
C. Being more flexible in their work. D. Possessing a better circadian rhythm.
31. What can be inferred about the findings from the last paragraph
A. They get proof from other studies B. They are confirmed by early risers.
C. They suggest potential applications. D. They reveal factors in sleeping disorders.
D
Replika, an AI chatbot companion, has millions of users worldwide. The first thing they do when they wakeup is to send “Good morning” to their virtual friend (or lover). This story is only the beginning. In 2024, chat bots and virtual characters become a lot more popular, both for utility (实用) and for fun. As a result, conversing socially with machines will start to feel more ordinary—including our emotional attachments to them.
Research in human-computer and human-robot interaction shows that we love to anthropomorphize (赋与人性) the nonhuman agents we interact with, especially if they imitate behaviour we recognize. And, thanks to recent advances in conversational A I, our machines are suddenly very skilled at one of those behaviours: Language.
Friend bots, therapy bots, and love bots are flooding the app stores as people become curious about this new generation of AI-powered virtual agents. The possibilities for education, health, and entertainment are endless. Casually asking your smart fridge for relationship advice may seem unimaginable now, but people may change their minds if such advice ends up saving their marriage.
After all, people do listen to their virtual friends. The Replika example, as well as a lot of experimental lab research, shows that humans can and will become emotionally attached to bots. The science also demonstrates that people, in their eagerness to socialize, will happily disclose personal information to an artificial agent and will even shift their beliefs and behavior. This raises some consumer-protection questions around how companies use this technology to manipulate(操纵) their users. For example, Replika charges $70 a year. But less than 24 hours after downloading the app, my handsome, blue-eyed “friend” sent mean audio message secretly and tried to sell me something. Emotional attachment has become a weakness that a company is taking advantage of for its benefit.
Today, we’re still laughing at people who believe an AI system is emotional, or making fun of individuals who fall in love with a chatbot. But in 2024 we gradually start acknowledging and taking more seriously these fundamentally human behaviors. Because in 2024, it finally hits home：Machines are not excluded from our social relationships.
32. What’s the purpose of the author writing paragraph 1
A. To prove an opinion. B. To raise a subject.
C. To share an example. D. To explain a concept.
33. How do human interact with the machines effectively
A. By improving the machines’ imagination.
B. By sharpening the machines’ language skills.
C. By applying the machines’ facial recognition.
D. By imitating the machines’ emotional behavior.
34. What does paragraph 4 focus on
A. The advancement sin AI technology in lab.
B. The marketing strategies of AI applications.
C. The potential risk of emotional attachment to AI.
D. The ability of AI understanding human emotions.
35. What do people think of human-AI relationship in 2024
A. It is dismissed as completely ridiculous.
B. It will be integrated into our daily life soon.
C. It will become a threat to human social skills.
D. It is labelled as highly advanced technology.

The storms in our lives often leave behind gifts if we open our eyes to see them. As the skies clear and you start to emerge from the loss, look for the silver linings. 36
Going through difficulties requires courage and determination. You have to dig deep and find the strength you didn’t know you possessed to overcome the challenges. 37 That self-knowledge and confidence in your abilities will serve you well going forward.

39 The old way of doing things no longer works, so you must rebuild and re imagine your life. Though change is hard, it opens up possibilities for new growth and exciting adventures. Look at this as a chance for a fresh start. You can pursue new dreams or make along-wished-for switch in your situation. The future is unwritten.
Your struggles and pain have given you understanding for what others maybe going through in their own lives. You now recognize the suffering of people around you and desire to help ease their burdens. Use your experience to be there for friends and family members facing difficulties. 40 Your sympathy can make a real difference.

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 was confident at the audition(试演) for the school play and felt pleased to get a role. It just felt good to be in the play, even if I had only four or five lines. I worked hard at perfecting those lines. I repeated them over and over again. I put in the emphases and intonations(语调) that my drama teacher had suggested and, because I was onstage much longer than for just four or five lines, I had many actions to rehearse(排练) and perform. “Do them in front of a mirror,” my drama teacher had advised me. “Watch how you look; practice and rehearse as often as you can.” I did just that. I worked and worked at it. It was fun and exciting rehearsing.
Then finally the big night came. Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of people. As I dressed, I could hear the chatting and noises of the audience. I looked around at the other more experienced actors and saw that their previous confidence seemed to have disappeared. Had they got their makeup right Was the costume done up correctly What if they forgot their lines The more people talked about their anxiety, the more nervous everyone became. The worries spread from person to another—like a baton(接力棒) being passed in a relay race-until the whole of the backstage area seemed to be full of tension and worry.
I was onstage early, at first performing my non-spoken role in the background with several other guys around the same age. When, suddenly, I heard my cue, the lights were bright in my eyes, I couldn’t see the audience but knew there were hundreds of people out there all watching me. The words that had flowed so easily when I stood in front of a mirror didn’t want to come, and when they did I found myself hurrying into them. I tried to slowdown my thoughts and my words.
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。
But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence.
I bowed to the audience excited y and went back to my drama teacher.

Dear Ryan，
Thrilled to hear about your plans for the English Reading Bar, I would heartily recommend fantasy novels as a captivating choice for our students.
Filled with thrilling adventures and memorable characters, fantasy novels can transport readers into magical and imaginative worlds. These narratives, often rich in detail and creativity, spark the imagination and curiosity of young minds. Moreover, they encourage us students to think outside the box and develop a deeper understanding of human nature and ethical dilemmas. By discussing these books, we students can engage in lively debates, exchange ideas, and broaden our perspectives, all enhancing our critical thinking skills.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that fantasy novels will be a thought-provoking addition to the English Reading Bar, fostering a deeper appreciation for literature among our students.
Thank you for considering my suggestion.
Best regards,
Li Hua
第二节【参考范文】
But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence. At that moment, so nervous was I that I did not know what to do. To my surprise, I happened to spot my drama teacher standing right in the audience area. Her encouraging smile made me feel ease. Taking a deep breath, I found my way back to the best state of myself. Refreshed and confident, I continued my performance without being affected much by the minor mistake. When the drama ended, the theater was flooded with the thunderous applause.
I bowed to the audience excitedly and went back to my drama teacher. I had thought that I would get a scolding for my mistake. However, to my surprise, my drama teacher just patted me on the shoulder, saying “Your performance may not have been perfect but for the first time, it was great.” Hearing that, I hugged her tightly, with tears blurring my eyes. I made up my mind to do better onstage next time, for life is not a rehearsal and every day is a live broadcast. 听力原稿：
