Recently, my husband and three kids were playing in the Mediterranean, swimming and floating in the picture-perfect sea. It was extremely beautiful in Majorca, Spain. The way the sun danced across the water and how the blue horizon was dotted with storybook sailboats were such beautiful scenes. I almost couldn’t believe my eyes.
My husband and I always dreamed about taking our kids on a trip around the world. It was something we always wanted to do “one day”. It was one of the things we talked at length about, when we imagined our life with the children we hoped we would have.
Fourteen years later, we had three boys who were growing up faster by the day. It was time to make good on those plans.
We spent dozens of hours discussing, researching and planning. We had to learn how to “road school” our kids and arrange time off from work. We renewed our passports, and then packed our bags. We showed our kids the world. It was about experiencing the dozens of flights and trains and taxis together. We showed them how wonderful, how diverse, and how amazing the world is. We wanted them to learn all that we had learned ourselves, through our own travels as young adults.
But there was something more than that: What we really wanted is to slow down time. We wanted the days to last a bit longer, and the weeks to take their time. The years with our children are going too fast. We wanted to put the brakes on (阻止) our busy lives for a year, and just be with our kids. We wanted a break from the daily morning routine of making lunches, eating breakfast and rushing out of the door in time for school. We needed a family time-out.
It was a wonderful two-month trip in Europe, full of incredible moments. And when we look back at our lives, I know we’ll be glad we did it. I know we’ll be happy that this is a chapter of the story of our family.
24．What was the author’s attitude toward the trip when planning it
A．Worried. B．Calm. C．Stressed. D．Eager.
25．What does the underlined part “make good on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Change. B．Realize. C．Improve. D．Cancel.
26．What was the author’s main purpose of taking this trip
A．To teach her children to value life.
B．To allow her children to see the world.
C．To enjoy a family breakaway from their life routine.
D．To enable her children to learn something out of class.
27．How did the author feel about their two-month stay in Europe
A．Tired. B．Satisfied. C．Inspired. D．Disappointed.
C
San Francisco’s waterfront (海滨) is on the National Register of Historic Places for good reason.
Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies—from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. The future of San Francisco’s waterfront, however, isn’t safe.
In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the U. S.’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise. The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under increasing threat from floods and rising sea levels brought on by human-driven climate change. St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles face similar challenges to San Francisco.
“The whole issue of climate change and historic preservation intersects (交织) right at the waterfront,” said Elaine Forbes, director of the Port of San Francisco. As she watched the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon, Forbes said, “Sea level rise hasn’t historically been as much of a threat to San Francisco as major earthquakes.” However, that’s changed. Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century.
Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline. But the growing magnitude（庞大） and frequency of the climate-related threats, the high costs and effort needed in saving heritage sites, and competing ideas about what’s worth saving and what isn’t, can make it hard for cities to know what to do first.
28. What is San Francisco’s waterfront famous for
A. Old landmarks. B. Famous beaches.
C. Beautiful bridges. D. Comfortable climate.
29. What challenge is the waterfront facing
A. The loss of public support. B. The threat from rising sea levels.
C. The influence of tourist activities. D. The competition from other cities.
30. Why is the earthquake mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To give an example of existing threats.
B. To stress the seriousness of sea level rise.
C. To compare different types of natural disasters.
D. To show the difficulty in the waterfront protection.
31. What can be learned from the text
A. Heritage sites are in ruins. B. Threats have been removed.
C. The shoreline has been flooded. D. Solutions are under consideration.
D
If you’re someone who has been worrying about the rise of the robots—hold on there just a second, and let them help you impress your friends with some newfound skills in a foreign language. Using artificial intelligence (AI) to help us learn and improve those skills is not new—some of the online language tools we turn to every day are powered by AI.
But as new technologies flood into the market, now is a great time to take advantage of the tech. And according to experts, these tools aren’t replacing teachers—they’re making their lives easier. One of the things that stops some of us from practicing speaking in a new language is a lack of self-confidence. AI can help—chatbots don’t judge you. Of course, teachers don’t either, but for some people, communicating with a bot may erase that fear of failure or shyness.
The latest chatbots use something called natural language processing that allows them to understand human speech or writing, providing a human-like response right away. While chatbots are extremely useful for learners working individually, teachers can also offer course material and ask an AI system to produce personalized textbooks for groups of students. The AI can also provide feedback (反馈) in seconds—gone are the days of waiting a week for work to be graded.
Past online language tools and games were able to tell you when you were wrong, but they weren’t always able to explain why. Now, not only has that changed, but the explanations are detailed and immediate. But this is not to underestimate the role of the teacher, who can use the technology to help learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of their students and personalize their teaching.
So, if you want to impress your friends with your perfect speech, don’t be afraid of AI.Just think of it as a useful tool for both teachers and language learners, which will give you more time and space to enjoy learning something new!
32．What is the main theme of the article
A．The dangers of Al-robots.
B．The history of online language tools.
C．The benefits of AI in language learning.
D．The role of teachers in the modern classroom.
33．Why might someone prefer communicating with a bot
A．Because bots grade work faster.
B．Because bots provide textbooks.
C．Because bots are more knowledgeable.
D．Because bots may remove the fear of failure or shyness.
34．What is the benefit of AI producing personalized textbooks
A．It saves time for teachers. B．It reduces the cost of education.
C．It meets individual students’ needs. D．It provides detailed lesson plans.
35．What word might replace the underlined word “underestimate” in paragraph 4
A．Undervalue. B．Underscore. C．Undertake. D．Understand.

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。
When I was young, we lived in a small town. Everyone knew Roy as he was a top student in the town. He was of my age, but he lost his parents in an accident at the age of 8. So he lived alone and delivered newspapers to support himself and his education.
Every time he delivered newspapers to our home, he wore a broad smile on his face and greeted my mom gently. My mom was greatly surprised when she knew his daily routine. He got up every morning by 5 o'clock and walked 5 kilometers from where he lived to the newspaper office to collect the newspapers. By 6:00, he carried 50 pieces of newspapers—more than 5 kilograms and walked 3 kilometers back. After sending the newspapers, he rushed another 3 kilometers home to cook a simple breakfast before hurrying to school.
This morning, seeing he left hurriedly in a strong wind, my mom and I decided to do something for him. After school, I waited for him at the school gate and told him that my mom would like to invite him to our home. When he asked why, I replied, "You will know soon!" Thinking for a short while, he followed me to my home nearby. It was possible that he assumed my mom would continue to subscribe to the newspaper.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；

My mom stood at the door, waiting for us.

People everywhere on those days are filled with happiness, and excitement is filled in every corner wherever you go.
I’m looking forward to your arrival and experiencing it with you.

范文：
My mom stood at the door, waiting for us. Seeing us come back, she greeted Roy, wearing a broad smile, which helped Roy not feel nervous like before. When we entered the dining room, a table of delicious food quickly caught our eyes, but Roy hesitated and never moved. Obviously, we knew the reason, but our hospitality and honesty soon made him put away his worries and joined us to enjoy the dinner. That night, completely opening his heart, he shared more his stories with us. My mother didn’t give the bike to him until he began to leave.
Seeing the bike in front of him, he couldn't hold back his tears. As I brought the bike to him, he caught my hand tightly. Form his warm and sweaty hand, I could feel his blood vessels throb violently and at the same time, my mom put some of bread and milk in the bike basket, telling him that we were always here to offer help if he needed. He hugged each of us, full of gratitude. Seeing he rode the new bike and then disappeared in the distance, immediately I was hit by a feeling that helping others not only could decrease something unfortunate around us, but also made the helper filled with positive energy to face everyday life.
