Boston Marathon runners in recent years may have seen a smiling furry face around the two-mile mark. It’s Spencer, the therapy (治疗) dog, who became known as an unofficial mascot (吉祥物) for the marathon, He’s shown up on the sidelines every year since 2015—rain or shine.
One particularly rainy marathon catapulted(猛增) Spencer’s fame, In 2018, his owner, Richard Powers, decided to put a bright yellow rain coat on the dog, making him stand out even more than he usually does. Photos of Spencer, who holds a “Boston Strong” flag in his mouth, went viral（迅速传播）, and he became an inspiration to runners and onlookers alike, During the marathon, some runners stop in their tracks to take selfies with the dog-the line sometimes growing to 20 runners long.
But in 2020, Spencer was diagnosed with a tumor. His owner was worried, but Spencer is a fighter. He got the care he needed and survived. In 2021, he was back on the course and it was really kind of a miracle and that really hit home to a lot of people.
Unfortunately, Spencer caught another tumor—this one cancerous—and Spencer began chemotherapy（血液疗法）. Powers didn’t think his beloved dog would make it out to the marathon of 2022. “Miraculously, he’s still here with us and an even bigger miracle, he was strong enough to go to the marathon,” he said.
After recovering, Spencer was back to work—not just at the marathon—but as a therapy dog, alongside his companion, Penny, who is also a golden therapy dog. Powers takes his two therapy dogs around to schools, hospitals and senior living centers.
“He’s a gift to us and we’re very lucky to have him. He’s too good so we want to share him with as many people as we possibly can. He does make a difference,” Powers said.

Is social media really making young people antisocial (孤僻的) A surprising new study finds that children and young adults who use these platforms the most are actually more active in the real world than others! The new findings come from a long-term project called the Trondheim Early Secure Study. Researchers collected information from about 800 children and young adults when they were 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 years old. This included interviews about each child's use of social media from year to year. The goal was to determine if using social media affects a young person's overall social skills.
To the team's surprise, participants frequently using these platforms did not see their social skills reduced. "On the contrary, we find that people who use social media a lot spend more time with friends offline than those who tend to limit their screen time," says Professor Silje Steinsbekk from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology's Department of Psychology.
However, social media can present challenges for children and teens. Although it offers a convenient and comfortable way for those with social anxiety to communicate, it can also lead to addiction and misuse. Studies have suggested that young people with anxiety are more easily affected by the negative effects of social media, which can worsen their symptoms and harm their mental health. Therefore, it is crucial for parents to monitor their children's online activity and usage.
Despite the risks to some, the team says their findings debunk the belief that social media causes young people to become socially isolated. In fact, their frequent use of social platforms may actually give them more opportunities to connect with old and new friends and set up chances to go out and socialize outdoors.
28. What does the study focus on
A. The importance of young people's social skills.
B. The impact of social media on young people.
C. Reasons for people becoming isolated from the community.
D. Ways to prevent children from becoming addicted to social media.
29. Who may probably be more active in the real world according to the study
A. A teenager who uses social media frequently.
B.A boy who never makes friends online.
C. A girl who seldom surfs the Internet.
D.A new parent who is experiencing social anxiety.
30. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. Negative emotions cause teens to misuse social media.
B. Kids are more easily influenced by social media than adults.
C. Online communication can help improve people's mental health.
D. Social media is a double-edged sword for young people with anxiety.
31. What does the underlined word "debunk" in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Explain.
B. Ignore.
C. Confirm.
D. Contradict.
D
The development of artificial intelligence is happening rapidly, and two recent events high-light this trend. On May 10th, Google announced its plans to use machine-learning techniques to generate（生成） text in its existing products. Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google's parent company Alphabet, stated that they are “reimagining all of our core products, including search.” This move is seen as a response to Microsoft's similar functionality on Bing.
The use of large language models in AI has been gaining momentum in recent years. These models allow computers to understand human language and generate text that is similar to what a human would write. The potential applications for this technology are vast, from improving search engines to creating more natural-sounding chatbots.
However, there are concerns about the ethical implications of AI. Many worry about the possibility for unfair influences in algorithms（算法） and the impact on jobs as automation becomes more popular. There are also fears about the misuse of AI in areas such as monitoring and conflict.
Despite these concerns, the race to develop and deploy AI panies like Google and Microsoft are investing heavily in this technology, and governments around the world are also taking notice. It remains to be seen how AI will shape our future, but it is clear that it will play an increasingly important role in our lives.
For English learners, understanding the basics of AI and its potential impact on society is essential knowledge in today's world. As AI continues to evolve, it is likely that more and more aspects of our lives will be affected by this technology.
32.What is Microsoft using large language models to do
A.Understand human language.
B.Improve its search engine, Bing.
C.Generate text as a human would write.
D.Create more natural-sounding chatbots.
33.What does the underlined word “momentum” mean in Paragraph 2
A.Education.
B.Worry.
C.Challenge.
D. Development.
34.What are the third concerns about the ethical implications of AI
A.The possibility for unfair influences
B.The misuse of AI in areas.
C.The race to develop.
D.The impact on jobs.
35.What is the author's attitude towards AI as an English learner
A.Unconcerned.
B.Unhappy.
C.Supportive.
D.Doubtful.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
According to A Guide for Families by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, children, preteens, and teens can lie for varying reasons. 36 Their upsetting situations could include failing a class and other struggles with things about themselves or fitting in with their peers.
37 . This is not to say that lying is acceptable, but the less parents take it personally. The more they can calmly and constructively help their child. Children and teens who fall into anxiety easily will use lying as an unhealthy coping strategy.
What should a parent or caregiver do Try to keep in mind that kids can be quite self-absorbed and they often don’t understand how hurtful lies can be. With this in mind, here are a few tips to help promote truthfulness in your child at any age.
38 If you overreact, then you are just building a barrier between you and your child. Calmly discuss or lecture about honesty and dishonesty and why they chose to lie. 39 Your understanding may not be able to stop your teen from creating those everyday lies, but you can convey that there are other options available.
Keep in mind that addressing lying behaviours is a process not a quick fix. 40 But if you keep your own emotion positively, your child or teen is more likely to eventually open up.
While in the short term you may just get a shrug, keeping yourself calm to create a sense of emotional safety will help your voice of truth and reason be heard throughout their lives.
A.Get them to know that you understand them or their situations.
B.Try to seek some help from experts who understand them well.
C.Some kids may take a while before they feel safe to level with you.
D.When I coach parents, I help them learn not to take lies from their kids personally.
E.They try to avoid getting into trouble or lie because they are too upset to talk about painful experiences.
F.Lying is not only harmful to kids themselves, but also it hurts people around them.
G.The best you can do as a parent is to keep yourself from overreacting to your child’s lies.

When the last customer left KFC, it was already 10:30 pm. Adam, an 18-year-old college student, dragged himself home. He had been working at KFC for over a month that summer vacation.
Entering his room, Adam found his younger brother Bill sitting on the edge of his bed with an uneasy expression on his face.
“Sorry, Adam. I … I did something wrong,” Bill sprang up and said nervously.
“What is it ”
“This afternoon I sneaked (溜) out for a ride on your motorcycle and accidentally hit our neighbor Osman Brook’s car.. I was so scared and I … I hurried home in panic.”
“Is the car seriously damaged ”
“The left headlight got broken.”
“It’s truly your fault and it’s really dangerous to ride a motorcycle at your age. Besides, it’s illegal,” Adam raised his voice, obviously annoyed. Hearing this, Bill lowered his head and bit his lips hard.
“Anyway, it’s no use crying over spilt milk. I will deal with it tomorrow. Now you go to bed and have a good sleep.”
The next morning when Adam got up, Bill was still sleeping soundly. Adam was more determined about what he ought to do as an elder brother.
After breakfast, Adam took out all the money he had earned and went out of the house with it. In the yard he saw his motorcycle, on whose side the scratches (划痕) were clearly visible. Adam shook his head and sighed slightly. Then he squared his shoulders and quickened his pace to Osman’s house.
When he arrived, he was welcomed by Osman’s wife Mary, who told him that Osman had gone to the garage to have his car repaired.
“I have something important to tell him. Can I wait until he comes back ” Adam requested eagerly.
“Of course. He should be home soon,” Mary invited Adam in, served him a cup of coffee and began chatting with him.
After half an hour, the door opened and in came Osman. Having said hello to each other, Osman and Adam both sat down on the sofa.
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。
Adam cleared his throat and began to speak.

读后续写【答案】One possible version
Adam cleared his throat and began to speak. “Mr. Brook, I’m here to make an apology. Yesterday afternoon my brother Bill damaged your car and ran away in panic. We are awfully sorry for that.” “Oh, I see. But it’s no big deal,” Osman smiled. Then Adam drew out the money from his pocket and said to Osman with sincerity, “This is all the money I have. I wonder if it can pay for your loss.” However, Osman insisted that it was only minor damage and declined to take it.
Just then, there came a knock at the door. Osman went to answer it, only to find Bill standing outside. “Morning, Mr. Brook. I … I’ve come to say sorry for …” Bill stammered. But Osman laughed and let him in. The two brothers were both surprised and glad to see each other. Osman gave them a thumbs-up and praised them happily, “Good boys, I truly appreciate your honesty. Just forget about my car.” Whatever the boys said, Osman wouldn’t take the money. Finally, he accepted their suggestion that they make it up to him by doing some work in his garden.
