The topic of China’s “slash youth” has fueled heated debate on social media recently, drawing attention to the diverse pursuits of the younger generation.
The s lash youth, which could also be called slashers or slash-generation — means those who refuse to be defined or bound by just one personal identity. They are keen to present themselves as multiple and sometimes different identities, such as a nurse and model, a teacher and stand-up comedian, and an engineer and band player. Rather than material comforts, they pursue meaningful achievement.
A diverse career can enable them to develop new experiences and talents as well as social and professional networks, leading to greater flexibility in life and work, recognition and satisfaction.
A study on “slash youth” published in the China Youth Research magazine analyzes the background of this phenomenon: with part of modern society’s structured organization and stability norms (规范) broken, flexible labor markets and structural unemployment has appeared, removing the sense of job security of the young people in employment. Young people also face the problem of self-realization, including the sense of powerlessness, lost sense of value and lack of self-identity in the profession, which forces them to re-find the meaning of work.
“The ‘slash life’ shows that our society is becoming more and more diversified and inclusive, and it welcomes everyone’s self-fulfillment,” said Shi Yanrong, an associate researcher from Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences. “Young people no longer have to rely on work and money for their sense of self-worth. They tend to create their own identities.” The researcher added that against the background that people have multiple interests and are willing to pay for these interests nowadays, the “slash life” of the youth would drive the growth of a new economy, just as animation culture affected the market.
4. What do we know about the slash youth
A. They tend to undertake multiple careers.
B. They are keen to pursue material comforts.
C. They enjoy posting themselves on social media.
D. They can easily adjust themselves to challenges in life.
5. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The importance of flexible labor markets. B. Reasons for the appearance of slash youth.
C. The pursuit of the youth in their profession. D. Causes of losing self-identity among the youth.
6. What does Shi Yanrong think of the slash life
A. It boosts the rise of a new economy. B. It helps increase people’s independence.
C. It inspires young people’s creativity at work. D. It enables young people to earn high incomes.
7. What is the purpose of the text
A. To provide career guidance. B. To analyze a cultural difference.
C. To introduce a social phenomenon. D. To share a unique life experience.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是斜杠青年以及斜杠青年对社会的影响。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They are keen to present themselves as multiple and sometimes different identities, such as a nurse and model, a teacher and stand-up comedian, and an engineer and band player. Rather than material comforts, they pursue meaningful achievement.(他们热衷于以多重身份，有时甚至是不同的身份呈现自己，比如护士兼模特，教师兼单口相声演员，工程师兼乐队演奏者。他们追求有意义的成就，而不是物质享受)”可知，斜杠青年他们倾向于从事多种职业。故选A。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“A study on “slash youth” published in the China Youth Research magazine analyzes the background of this phenomenon: with part of modern society’s structured organization and stability norms (规范) broken, flexible labor markets and structural unemployment has appeared, removing the sense of job security of the young people in employment. Young people also face the problem of self-realization, including the sense of powerlessness, lost sense of value and lack of self-identity in the profession, which forces them to re-find the meaning of work.(发表在《中国青年研究》杂志上的一篇关于“斜线青年”的研究分析了这一现象的背景：现代社会的部分结构化组织和稳定规范被打破，出现了灵活的劳动力市场和结构性失业，使年轻人在就业中失去了工作安全感。年轻人还面临着自我实现的问题，包括对职业的无力感、价值感的丧失和自我认同感的缺失，这迫使他们重新寻找工作的意义)”可知，此段主要描写“斜杠青年”这一现象出现的原因。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“The researcher added that against the background that people have multiple interests and are willing to pay for these interests nowadays, the “slash life” of the youth would drive the growth of a new economy, just as animation culture affected the market.(研究人员补充说，在人们有多种兴趣并愿意为这些兴趣买单的背景下，年轻人的“slash life”将推动新经济的增长，就像动画文化影响市场一样)”可知，Shi Yanrong认为斜杠青年的出现有可能会推动一种新的经济的发展，正如动漫文化影响市场一样。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The topic of China’s “s lash youth” has fueled heated debate on social media recently, drawing attention to the diverse pursuits of the younger generation.(最近，中国“斜杠青年”的话题在社交媒体上引发了热议，引起了人们对年轻一代多样化追求的关注)”结合本文主要介绍了“斜杠青年”这一社会现象。即文章的目的是介绍一种社会现象。故选C。
C
Ignoring message is frowned upon (皱眉) in this always-on times. And according to most people, dropping out of communication is blamed as “ghosting”, which in the years since the term became widespread, has become a deadly killer of digital communications.
But in these exhausting times, when so many are overburdened with family responsibilities, stress, grief and anxiety, perhaps we should let go of the outdated, demanding requirement to participate in endless back-and-forth conversations. As Daniel Post Senning of the Emily Post Institution said, “You have to be a civil and decent person, but you don’t have to give your time and attention to everyone who asks for it.”
In an era when we understand more and more the importance of rest and time away from screens, triaging (优先选择) can be necessary for our peace of mind and relationships with the people in our lives: When we are on vacation. When it’s after 7 pm. When we are at the dinner table. When we are exercising. If you don’t reply immediately to a message during one of these times, don’t apologize. Just reply when you can. Or don’t.
Is triaging a blanket permission to fall into unexplained silence or become a bottleneck to your colleagues’ work No. Instead, establish boundaries with your work colleagues frankly so that they don’t panic when they can’t reach you.
It’s also worth asking yourself who is putting the pressure on for immediate response. Perhaps it’s not the message sender, but you.
8. Which statement do most people agree with
A. Giving full attention to whoever asks for it is a must.
B. Dropping out of a conversation equals killing other people.
C. It’s considered improper to cut off from an ongoing conversation.
D. It’s highly advised to carry on conversations despite heavy burdens.
9. How does the author develop paragraph 3
A. By listing figures. B. By giving examples.
C. By comparing facts. D. By stating reasons.
10. What does the underlined word “bottleneck” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Barrier. B. Milestone. C. Opportunity. D. Masterpiece.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Important Emails: Send Them Quickly B. Urgent Calls: Answer Them Immediately
C. Unfriendly People: Avoid Them Carefully D. Unnecessary Messages: Ignore Them Directly
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了在这个信息爆炸的年代，我们要学会有选择的回复信息，必要的时候可以对一些无关紧要的信息说“不”。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据本文前两段内容，尤其是第一段第二句“And according to most people, dropping out of communication is blamed as ‘ghosting’, which in the years since the term became widespread, has become a deadly killer of digital communications.(在大多数人看来，脱离交流被认为是‘鬼影’，在这个词被广泛使用后的几年里，它已经成为数字交流的致命杀手)”可知，忽略别人的信息是会惹别人不开心的，中途退出对话更是被当作是对话交流的“杀手”。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“When we are on vacation. When it’s after 7 pm. When we are at the dinner table. When we are exercising. If you don’t reply immediately to a message during one of these times, don’t apologize. Just reply when you can. Or don’t.(当我们在度假时。晚上7点以后。当我们在餐桌上。当我们锻炼的时候。如果你在这些时间里没有立即回复信息，不要道歉。有空就回复吧。或不)”可知，本段主要通过举例来说明在什么样的场景下可以不需要马上回复，甚至不需要回复信息。故选B。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章的第四段第一句话“Is triaging a blanket permission to fall into unexplained silence or become a bottleneck to your colleagues’ work (分类是否会让你陷入无法解释的沉默，或者成为同事工作的瓶颈？)”内容可知作者在反问，优先选择（回复与否）会让（你和同事的关系）陷入一种无法解释的沉默或者会成为你同事工作的障碍吗？所以bottleneck 应该是“瓶颈，障碍”之意，故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了在这个信息爆炸的年代，我们要学会有选择的回复信息，必要的时候可以对一些无关紧要的信息说“不”。所以答案D“不必要的信息：直接忽略”符合文意，故选D。
D
Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations for the predicted earthquakes.
The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth.
This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earth-quakes coming,” explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.”
While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earth-quake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.
Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This strategy could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director.
12. How does the AI forecast earthquakes
A. By identifying data from the satellites.
B. By analyzing background sounds in the Earth.
C. By modeling data based on earthquake recordings.
D. By monitoring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field.
13. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3
A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes.
B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes.
C. The significance of developing the AI prediction.
D. The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction.
14. What will the follow-up research focus on
A. Conducting tests in different locations.
B. Applying the AI approach to other fields.
C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas.
D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy.
15. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology
A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly.
C. Potential and economical. D. Pioneering and promising.

【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段尤其是后两句Alexandros Sawvaidis所说的话“It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.(这只是几毫秒的问题，你唯一能控制的就是你准备得有多充分。即使准确率达到70%，这也是一个巨大的成果，可以帮助最大限度地减少经济和人员损失，并有可能显著改善全球的地震准备工作)”可推知，Alexandros Savvaidis认为，即便是70%的准确性也极其重要，因为它可以减少经济损失，人员伤亡，还有可能提高全世界对地震发生的准备（和预防）。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earth-quake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.(下一步是在德州测试人工智能，因为德州的德州地震信息局有300个地震观测站，有超过6年的连续记录，是进行这些研究的理想地点)”可知，研究人员下一步准备在德克萨斯州进一步进行AI地震预测的实验。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations for the predicted earthquakes.(人工智能(AI)在地震预测方面显示出希望，挑战了人们长期以来认为地震预测不可能实现的信念。德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的研究人员在中国进行的一项试验中，开发出了一种人工智能算法，可以提前一周准确预测70%的地震，并为预测的地震提供了准确的强度计算)”可知，地震预测技术有发展前景，根据第三段中“This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. ‘You don’t see earth-quakes coming,’ explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). ‘It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.’(这项工作显然是人工智能驱动的地震预测研究的一个里程碑。‘你看不到地震的到来，’领导德克萨斯地震网项目(TexNet)的高级研究科学家Alexandros Savvaidis解释说。‘这只是几毫秒的问题，你唯一能控制的就是你准备得如何。即使准确率达到70%，这也是一个巨大的成果，可以帮助最大限度地减少经济和人员损失，并有可能显著改善全球的地震准备工作。’)”可知，研究人员相信，如果在拥有可靠地震跟踪网络的地区使用，人工智能算法可以产生更准确的预测。由此推知，AI预测地震的工作既具有前沿性，其将来也是大有希望的。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述一名截瘫男子Quan Peng用轮椅跨越了中国5个省的43个城镇，他不只是在和自己的残疾身体作斗争，是在和歧视作斗争。
【36题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：2014年8月，坐轮椅的Quan Peng从北京出发，到目前为止，他已经走访了5个省的43个城镇。根据本句中的时间状语so far可知，本句用现在完成时，主语Quan Peng表示单数意义。故填has visited。
【37题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：在接下来的六个月里，他希望能到达中国的南端——他的最终目的地。make it是固定短语，表示“成功做到，及时达到”之意。故填it。
【38题详解】
考查连词搭配。句意：“我认为这是一场战斗。”Quan说：“我不只是在与我的残疾作斗争，也是在与歧视作斗争。”not just…but (also)“不但……而且……”。故填but。
【39题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：有几次他想住旅馆，但都被拒之门外。根据上半句可知本句用一般过去时，turn away“拒绝，不让……进入”与主语he之间是被动关系，使用一般过去时的被动语态，主语表示单数意义。故填was turned。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“餐馆老板会拒绝接纳我，因为他们认为我是个乞丐；我去一家酒店，他们会告诉我他们已经订满了。”refuse to do sth.“拒绝做某事”。故填to take。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：同上。副词修饰动词。be fully booked“（酒店）被预定满了”。故填fully。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：Quan，已经足不出户8年了，他想利用这次轮椅之旅来提高全国各地对残疾人需求的认识。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Quan，指人，关系词在从句中作主语，应该用who引导。故填who。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：同上。空处应该用不可数名词awareness作宾语。raise awareness of“唤起……的意识”。故填awareness。
【44题详解】
考查副词比较级。句意：即使在北京和上海这样为残疾人提供更好设施的城市，Quan说他也无法乘坐公共汽车。根据句意可知，北京、上海等大城市对残疾人的设施应该相对好一点，应用副词比较级，故填better。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“我们不是整天躺在床上的没用的人。”Quan说。stay和people之间是主谓关系，应用现在分词短语作后置定语修饰名词people。故填staying。

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
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。
The paper on my desk was yellow, with straight blue lines stretching across it. The lines repeated themselves all the way down the page. I counted them. Twenty-six straight lines ran across the paper. The yellow color reminded me of sunshine. In summer, the sun is bright yellow like that, and sky is blue like those lines. I loved blue-blue is for getting lost in…
“You haven’t written a word yet, have you ” Miss Perry had found me out. I hung my head, as in past years, and gave her the lines I had given to previous teachers.
“I don’t feel like it.”
The truth was that I wanted to write about something different. “Write about Your Best Friend,” demanded the assignment on the board. I didn’t have a best friend. I had a few friends, but I didn’t want to claim any of them as my “best”, because I was afraid they might pick someone else. What if I picked a “best” friend and then someone different, who thought I was their best friend, heard my paragraph read aloud and never spoke to me again It was a stupid topic. I was disappointed in Miss Perry for choosing it.
I knew Miss Perry must have heard about me from my other teachers. I had already prepared myself for another year of listening to teachers scold me. I was only nine years old, but my ears had been full to the voices of my elders. My teachers, my parents and the school principal had all given me the speech “What are we supposed to do with you ”. That was probably what Miss Perry was about to say, too.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
However there was something different about Miss Perry.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I bet I was touched.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】However, there was something different about Miss Perry. Instead of scolding me, which was often the case, Miss Perry, with a benevolent smile, said, “I bet you must have a better topic to write.” Never expecting that she would have dealt with me so mildly, I stared at her in total disbelief with eyes popping out. Then Miss Perry nodded in affirmation, indicating that she meant what she said. I somehow grabbed a pen and started my composition, and soon a world full of sunshine and blue sky came alive on my paper. When Miss Perry read through my work, her face seemed to be permeated with sunshine and blue sky. “Well done!” she announced and patted me on the back tenderly.
I bet I was touched. It was the first time that my work had been recognized and my body had been touched by a teacher. I knew the sunshine from Miss Perry had pierced through my hard shell and was beginning to melt the solid ice in my heart. Afterwards, I turned to get involved in activities of sorts more actively, take to studying more attentively and befriend people around more faithfully. Miss Perry, as well as others, was gratified to see all the changes in me, which I largely owed to a different Miss Perry.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个九岁男孩因被要求写关于《你最好的朋友》的作文而感到困扰。他没有明确的“最好的朋友”，担心自己的选择会伤害到其他朋友。男孩的老师Miss Perry发现了他的困境，并询问他为何还没动笔。男孩坦诚自己不想写，因为他觉得这个话题很愚蠢。尽管他知道Miss Perry可能听过关于他的事情，但他还是准备迎接老师的责备。

The topic of China’s “slash youth” has fueled heated debate on social media recently, drawing attention to the diverse pursuits of the younger generation.
The s lash youth, which could also be called slashers or slash-generation — means those who refuse to be defined or bound by just one personal identity. They are keen to present themselves as multiple and sometimes different identities, such as a nurse and model, a teacher and stand-up comedian, and an engineer and band player. Rather than material comforts, they pursue meaningful achievement.
A diverse career can enable them to develop new experiences and talents as well as social and professional networks, leading to greater flexibility in life and work, recognition and satisfaction.
A study on “slash youth” published in the China Youth Research magazine analyzes the background of this phenomenon: with part of modern society’s structured organization and stability norms (规范) broken, flexible labor markets and structural unemployment has appeared, removing the sense of job security of the young people in employment. Young people also face the problem of self-realization, including the sense of powerlessness, lost sense of value and lack of self-identity in the profession, which forces them to re-find the meaning of work.
“The ‘slash life’ shows that our society is becoming more and more diversified and inclusive, and it welcomes everyone’s self-fulfillment,” said Shi Yanrong, an associate researcher from Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences. “Young people no longer have to rely on work and money for their sense of self-worth. They tend to create their own identities.” The researcher added that against the background that people have multiple interests and are willing to pay for these interests nowadays, the “slash life” of the youth would drive the growth of a new economy, just as animation culture affected the market.
4. What do we know about the slash youth
A. They tend to undertake multiple careers.
B. They are keen to pursue material comforts.
C. They enjoy posting themselves on social media.
D. They can easily adjust themselves to challenges in life.
5. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The importance of flexible labor markets. B. Reasons for the appearance of slash youth.
C. The pursuit of the youth in their profession. D. Causes of losing self-identity among the youth.
6. What does Shi Yanrong think of the slash life
A. It boosts the rise of a new economy. B. It helps increase people’s independence.
C. It inspires young people’s creativity at work. D. It enables young people to earn high incomes.
7. What is the purpose of the text
A. To provide career guidance. B. To analyze a cultural difference.
C. To introduce a social phenomenon. D. To share a unique life experience.
C
Ignoring message is frowned upon (皱眉) in this always-on times. And according to most people, dropping out of communication is blamed as “ghosting”, which in the years since the term became widespread, has become a deadly killer of digital communications.
But in these exhausting times, when so many are overburdened with family responsibilities, stress, grief and anxiety, perhaps we should let go of the outdated, demanding requirement to participate in endless back-and-forth conversations. As Daniel Post Senning of the Emily Post Institution said, “You have to be a civil and decent person, but you don’t have to give your time and attention to everyone who asks for it.”
In an era when we understand more and more the importance of rest and time away from screens, triaging (优先选择) can be necessary for our peace of mind and relationships with the people in our lives: When we are on vacation. When it’s after 7 pm. When we are at the dinner table. When we are exercising. If you don’t reply immediately to a message during one of these times, don’t apologize. Just reply when you can. Or don’t.
Is triaging a blanket permission to fall into unexplained silence or become a bottleneck to your colleagues’ work No. Instead establish boundaries with your work colleagues frankly so that they don’t panic when they can’t reach you.
It’s also worth asking yourself who is putting the pressure on for immediate response. Perhaps it’s not the message sender but you.
8. Which statement do most people agree with
A. Giving full attention to whoever asks for it is a must.
B. Dropping out of a conversation equals killing other people.
C. It’s considered improper to cut off from an ongoing conversation.
D. It’s highly advised to carry on conversations despite heavy burdens.
9. How does the author develop paragraph 3
A. By listing figures. B. By giving examples.
C. By comparing facts. D. By stating reasons.
10. What does the underlined word “bottleneck” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Barrier. B. Milestone. C. Opportunity. D. Masterpiece.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Important Emails: Send Them Quickly B. Urgent Calls: Answer Them Immediately
C. Unfriendly People: Avoid Them Carefully D. Unnecessary Messages: Ignore Them Directly
D
Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations for the predicted earthquakes.
The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth.
This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earth-quakes coming,” explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.”
While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earth-quake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.
Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This strategy could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director.
12. How does the AI forecast earthquakes
A. By identifying data from the satellites.
B. By analyzing background sounds in the Earth.
C. By modeling data based on earthquake recordings.
D. By monitoring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field.
13. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3
A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes.
B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes.
C. The significance of developing the AI prediction.
D. The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction.
14. What will the follow-up research focus on

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。
The paper on my desk was yellow, with straight blue lines stretching across it. The lines repeated themselves all the way down the page. I counted them. Twenty-six straight lines ran across the paper. The yellow color reminded me of sunshine. In summer, the sun is bright yellow like that, and sky is blue like those lines. I loved blue-blue is for getting lost in…
“You haven’t written a word yet, have you ” Miss Perry had found me out. I hung my head, as in past years, and gave her the lines I had given to previous teachers.
“I don’t feel like it.”
The truth was that I wanted to write about something different. “Write about Your Best Friend,” demanded the assignment on the board. I didn’t have a best friend. I had a few friends, but I didn’t want to claim any of them as my “best”, because I was afraid they might pick someone else. What if I picked a “best” friend and then someone different, who thought I was their best friend, heard my paragraph read aloud and never spoke to me again It was a stupid topic. I was disappointed in Miss Perry for choosing it.
I knew Miss Perry must have heard about me from my other teachers. I had already prepared myself for another year of listening to teachers scold me. I was only nine years old, but my ears had been full to the voices of my elders. My teachers, my parents and the school principal had all given me the speech “What are we supposed to do with you ”. That was probably what Miss Perry was about to say, too.
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。
However, there was something different about Miss Perry.
