Here are some family- friendly hotels in England.
Another Place, The Lake
Ullswater, Lake District
Another Place is aimed primarily at families and younger adults. The 20- metre glass- fronted indoor pool has children's swimming times. Older children can enjoy water sports on the lake including stand- up paddle- boarding and wild swimming. There's a fully equipped Kids' Zone for all ages, from babies to teenagers.
From 165 per night
Augill Castle
Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria
With the features of a castle but in miniature（小型的）, Augill Castle appeals equally to children and adults, and you'd be hard- pressed to find a more family- friendly castle, with a tree house, playground and tennis court in its 15- acre grounds, and inside, a 12- seater cinema, not to mention the popular children's cookery school.
From 180 per night
Slaley Hall
Hexham, Northumberland
This country hotel, wrapped in woodland and golf courses, is modern in feel. You will not be bored here— take your pick from a range of facilities, including golfing, woodland walks, a gym and an indoor pool. Children can stay in their parents' room for free, but there is a 50 per cent charge if they sleep in an interconnecting room. For decent pub food, the Claret Jug is a family- friendly sports bar.
From 89 per night
Rockli ffe Hall
Hurworth- on- Tees, Durham
Rockliffe Hall is a five- star hotel that also welcomes children. There are generous dedicated（专用的） times at the swimming pool for children.

At 60, mother- of- five Liz Earle is energised, clear- headed, and understands that the way she lives her life will give her the best chance of longevity.
Earle, who sold her beauty company in 2010, isn't one for standing still. She went on to found the Liz Earle Wellbeing magazine, continues with TV appearances, launched the charity LiveTwice, hosts a weekly podcast, and has written 36 books, including her latest, A Better Second Half, a manifesto（宣言） for midlife women.
She was in denial about ageing for a while. She says: ‘I turned 60 last year and I didn't want to acknowledge it. In my mother's generation, 60 was grey hair, twinset and pearls, and slippers. I feel so far removed from that stereotype（刻板印象）.’
Earle, though, has defied the numbers. When she was in her mid-50s, she had her biological markers of age tested, which showed her biological age to be 39. It's now 45, but in the next few years she intends on getting that marker down.
In her late 50s, Earle experienced a lot of upheavals in her personal life, divorcing her second husband and failing in investment. ‘Starting again in my mid-50s was challenging but also energising, because it was an opportunity for a fresh start,’ she reflects. ‘I felt like I was being given a second chance. And I want to encourage other women who feel that they are washed up, too.’
The wellness advice she offers in the book is backed by scientific data, and it's clear that Earle has done a lot of research in the three years it took to write it; she offers all manner of ways to maintain good health.
She is concerned that midlife women don't prioritise themselves. ‘ Society marginalises（使微不足道） midlife women— we become invisible, we become irrelevant, whether that's because we' re losing our looks, or we' re losing our relevance in society. And, actually, that shouldn't be the case. We' re the clever, wise ones who have lived through it,’ she explains.‘ Ageing is a gift,’ Earle continues,‘ Even when I was running the beauty company, we never used the term anti- ageing well— keeping cognitive function, keeping mobility, having a purpose.’
Now, Earle is embracing all the good things that age has brought her, recently welcoming her first grandchild into the world, and she says she is looking forward to the next decade.
24. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Earle
A. She used to work as an employee in a beauty company.
B. She steps out of the comfort zone and embraces changes.
C. She believes she fits the stereotype of the 60- year- olds.
D. She offered wellness advice without any scientific proof.
25. What does the underlined word “upheavals” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Unfair treatments. B. Heavy burdens. C. Sharp criticisms. D. Unpleasant changes.
26. According to paragraph 7, what does Earle encourage midlife women to do
A. To fight against ageing. B. To regain their wisdom.
C. To put themselves first. D. To accept plastic surgery.
27. What's Earle's attitude towards ageing
A. Grateful. B. Fearful. C. Doubtful. D. Pitiful.
C
Inflation（通货膨胀） is the word on everyone's lips, as our coffers（金库） take a hit and prices seem to rise constantly.
Meanwhile, inflation remains stubbornly high in many developed economies despite the interest rate rises designed to bring prices down. The latest figures for the U. K. came in above expectations at 8.7% on an annual basis, while the U. S. Consumer Price Index（指数）（CPI） for May rose by 4% from the previous year. Some economists have found themselves considering a surprising potential contributor: music concerts. But what do concerts and the economy have to do with one another
From top singers to famous bands, Klaus Baader, global chief economist at Societe Generale, has tickets to see various artists this year.“ One of the things that struck me as odd is that acquiring tickets for these concerts nowadays means people have to tighten their belt for a while,” he said.
“And a concert trip doesn’t end with a single ticket. It’s also related to Coca- Cola or hot dogs, the prices of which are always hiked up when shows take place, let alone the accommodation,” he explained.
Take the Renaissance World Tour by a famous American singer- songwriter whose first stop was in Stockholm in May as an example. “In the Swedish May inflation numbers, hotel prices rose more than what is usual for May,” said Filip Andersson, from Danske Bank. “Hotels in the Stockholm region were reportedly fully booked the weeks around the event and prices thus skyrocketed. Due to a third of Sweden’s hotel rooms being in the nation's capital, prices rose dramatically on a national scale.”
Economists have nicknamed the phenomenon: “tourflation”, which has stimulated analysts to give a lot of thought to the upswing. “The concert market is booming. Understandably, this relates to supply and demand forces— consumers are most interested in making up for their time lost during the COVID-19 lockdowns,” Baader explained. He also pointed to changes in how musicians make a profit. “Artists’ models have changed from making money by selling CDs towards earning revenues mostly from concerts,” Baader added.
The impact of concerts on inflation might be short- lived. In Sweden's case, Andersson believes the normalization of inflation levels will occur later after the concert.
28. What can be concluded about inflation from paragraph 2
A. It is a hard- to- tackle and lasting concern. B. It is positively correlated with interest rates.
C. It is much worse in rich developed countries. D. It is an outcome of ineffective financial adjustments.
29. What was Klaus Baader astonished by
A. The limited food choices in concerts. B. The lack of availability of concert tickets.
C. The popularity of top singers and famous bands. D. The overall high expenses for attending concerts.
30. What does the example of the tour in Stockholm show
A. Concerts can boost the acceptability of a city. B. Concerts promote the growth of local entertainment.
C. Concerts do more harm than good to the host city. D. Concerts can have broader impacts on the economy.
31. What does Klaus Baader aim to explain in the sixth paragraph
A. The reason for artists' shifting their income models.
B. The supply and demand conflict in the music industry.
C. The underlying factors behind the tourflation phenomenon.
D. The impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on the concert market.
D
These students wandering through the woods on the outskirts（郊区） of Portland, Oregon, aren't on a school field trip— this muddy field is their school. From the moment they're dropped off in the morning, they spend their entire day outside in one of Oregon's public parks. “Rain or shine, we're out here,” said teacher Christine Fleener.
On this surprisingly nice day, Fleener's class of fifth graders headed to the grassland for a biology lesson. Further down the trail, a group of fourth graders was learning on logs.
It's school, just not the type of school you might be used to. “Forest school is where the classroom does not have walls,” said Tony Deis, one of the founders of Trackers Earth Forest School. “It's how kids originally learned; they didn't learn sitting at desks, facing forward, looking at a teacher. They learned from a multi- sensory environment.”
Over the past decade, outdoor forest schools have gained popularity in the United States. The idea is that the challenges that come with being outside all day— dealing with weather, building your own shelter, unearthing the unexpected— are all part of the learning process.
It's complicated, of course. Outdoor schooling involves a puzzle of weather and regulations and budget issues. A well- funded private school in Portland, Oregon is one thing, but what about a public school in Portland, Maine Surprisingly, cold Maine, of all places, has been quick to adopt outdoor learning.
The district isn't all outside all the time, but certain classes, like art, have moved outdoors. Supplies came from a combination of federal funds and local donations. And while Maine has plenty of open space, Brooke Teller, the outdoor learning coordinator（协调人） for Portland Public Schools, believes schools in major cities could have green classrooms hiding underneath their pavement（路面）. She said, “We have a few hundred landscape architects all across the country who have volunteered to be a thought partner with schools that want to figure out where on their grounds would be best for outdoor learning.”
32. What does the author describe at the beginning of the text
A. An interesting school field trip. B. The routine of a forest school.
C. The popularity of public parks. D. An unforgettable biology lesson.
33. What is the main philosophy behind the concept of forest schools
A. Kids learn by doing. B. Kids learn out of interest.
C. Kids learn by challenging others. D. Kids learn in pleasant environments.
34. What does Teller suggest schools that want to start outdoor education do
A. Start from certain classes. B. Make use of their open space.
C. Work with landscape architects. D. Build green classrooms underground.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Outdoor education in Oregon B. Schools without walls
C. Bringing forests to schools D. Benefits of learning outdoors

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。
Artificial intelligence（AI） tools have become extremely powerful, surprising even their creators. Now, some people say there should be a pause in AI work to make sure it doesn't become dangerous. 36
Most people have probably read a book or seen a movie or show about AI or a robot that has become so smart that it can take over the world. Most current AI tools are good at just one task, like answering questions, or identifying objects in photos.
But scientists have been working to improve AI models, mainly by training the models on larger and larger collections of information. 37 Extremely large models have surprised even their creators with what they can do.
Some recent models can create realistic photos from a short written description. Others can re- create anyone's voice saying anything based on a voice recording just a few seconds long.
38 But really, ChatGPT is simply guessing— based on its training information whose word is most likely to come next, over and over again.
The rapid progress of recent AI models worries some people. Last week, many computer experts released a letter calling for a six- month pause for any work on AI tools. The letter claimed AI companies were in a race to create “powerful digital minds” that no one can “understand, predict, or control”. 39
Not all AI experts agree with the letter. Some say the letter makes today's AI tools sound more intelligent than they really are. Others say it's more important to worry about real problems with current AI tools rather than imaginary ones in the future.
40 Therefore, many companies are more likely to keep developing powerful AI tools. But the letter has sent a strong warning that many people including leaders will be thinking about this matter carefully.
A. This causes terror.
B. However, not everyone agrees.
C. Those efforts are paying off.
D. ChatGPT has caused so much excitement.
E. ChatGPT appears to be extremely intelligent.
F. They expect laws to make sure AI tools are safe.
G. They predict the threat of AI will be powerful.

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。
“Not again!” Aliya shouted angrily, looking at the marks she had attained in her math test.
It seemed as if failing in the math test had become a part and parcel of her life. Despite her efforts, she had been unable to perform well. Tears in her eyes, she quickly shoved（乱塞） the paper into her bag before any classmate could make a rude comment on her.
Effortlessly, using the back of her palm, she was wiping the tears when her teacher Mrs. Leena noticed her. She came to Aliya's desk and, in a soft voice, asked her to see her during the break time.
Wondering what it could be, Aliya waited impatiently for lunchtime. Finally, when the bell rang, she made her way to Mrs. Leena. As soon as she saw Aliya, she gestured for her to sit on the empty chair beside her.
She carefully studied her face, cleared her throat with a bright smile and said, “You seem to be anxious. I think I know what's bothering you. If you allow me I think together we may come up with a good solution.”
With a puzzled look, she said sadly, “Well ma’ am, you know I have been struggling in maths since the beginning of the term. It seems as if no matter how hard I work, I am unable to get the desired result. I feel so upset.”
“You need not be so gloomy,” encouraged Mrs. Leena. “ With these three key ingredients: hard work, determination and resilience（韧性）, you will move ahead and succeed. It's always the first step that's difficult, but once you decide not to look back and not give up, you will be successful, my e on, gather yourself and let's work on it together.”
From that day onwards, Aliya worked hard, religiously following her teacher's advice. By the time the final exams drew close, she had thoroughly revised her math book and was well- prepared.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

【语篇导读】本文是一篇人物传记，讲述了60岁的丽兹·厄尔对衰老问题的看法及建议。
24. B。推理判断题。从第二段中的“She went on to found the Liz Earle Wellbeing magazine, continues with TV appearances, launched the charity LiveTwice, hosts a weekly podcast, and has written 36 books, including her latest， A Better Second Half, a manifesto（宣言） for midlife women.”可知，厄尔的生活丰富多彩，不满足于平淡生活。故选 B。
25. D。词义猜测题。从第五段中的“divorcing her second husband and failing in investment”可知，厄尔经历了人生的巨变。故选 D。
26. C。细节理解题。从第七段中的“She is concerned that midlife women don't prioritise themselves.”可知，厄尔担心中年女性不优先考虑自我，因此她鼓励中年女性将自己放在第一位。故选C。
27. A。推理判断题。从第七段和第八段可知，厄尔将变老看作一份礼物，并拥抱变老带来的一切好处，说明她对变老充满感恩之情。故选A。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了演唱会对通货膨胀的潜在影响。
28. A。推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Meanwhile, inflation ...4% from the previous year.”可知，通过金融措施如利率上涨也难以解决通货膨胀问题，因此通货膨胀是一个难以解决且持续存在的问题。
29. D。细节理解题。根据第三、四段中的“… struck me as odd is that acquiring tickets … let alone the accommodation”可知，巴德尔对看演唱会的整体高费用感到惊讶。
30. D。推理判断题。根据第五段中的“In the Swedish May inflation numbers, hotel prices ... prices rose dramatically on a national scale.”可知，拿去斯德哥尔摩看演唱会举例是为了说明在某个城市举办演唱会，会对其经济造成影响甚至会波及全国，故音乐会对经济有更广泛的影响。
31. C。推理判断题。根据第六段可知，巴德尔阐述了巡演通货膨胀这一现象背后的影响因素，包括后疫情时代音乐会市场火热发展和艺人收入模式的改变两方面。

32. B。推理判断题。根据第一段中的“this muddy field is their school”以及“Rain or shine, we' re out here”可知，本段主要描写了俄勒冈州波特兰市一所森林学校中学生的日常活动——在森林里探索。
33. A。推理判断题。根据第三段中的“they didn’t learn sitting at desks, facing forward, looking at a teacher. They learned from a multi- sensory environment”和第四段中的“The idea is that the challenges that come with being outside all day— dealing with weather, building your own shelter, unearthing the unexpected— are all part of the learning process.”可知，孩子们并没有通过坐在桌前、面朝前、看着老师学习，而是在多感官环境中学习。在户外所面临的挑战——应对天气、建造自己的住所、发掘意想不到的东西——都是学习过程的一部分。由此可推知，森林学校背后的理念就是儿童在实践中学习。
34. C。细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Brooke Teller … believes schools in major cities could have green classrooms hiding underneath their pavement（路面）. She said, ‘We have a few hundred landscape architects ... best for outdoor learning””可知，特勒认为大城市的学校可以创建绿色教室。她说：“全国各地有几百名景观建筑师愿意与学校合作，帮助学校找到户外学习的最佳场地。”即她建议学校寻求景观建筑师的帮助，与他们合作。
35. B。主旨大意题。本文以某森林学校的日常活动展开，介绍了户外教学的理念、面临的困难及可能的解决办法。B项呼应了文中 Trackers Earth 森林学校创始人之一托尼·戴斯所说的“Forest school is where the classroom does not have walls”。
【语篇导读】本文主要讨论了人工智能工具是否真的变得过于强大的问题。
36. B。根据前面提到的“Now, some people say there should be a pause in AI work to make sure it doesn't become dangerous.”以及倒数第二段中的“Not all AI experts agree with the letter.”可知，一些人建议人工智能工具应该暂停，以确保它不会变得危险，下文接着说明人们对该建议的反应。B项“然而，这种说法并不是人人都同意”符合语境。
37. C。结合前面的“But scientists have been working to improve AI models”以及后面的“Extremely large models have surprised even their creators with what they can do.”可知，C项“这些努力得到了回报”承上启下，符合语境。
38. E。空处与后面的“But really, ChatGPT is simply guessing— based on its training information whose word is most likely to come next, over and over again.”形成对比，ChatGPT看上去似乎非常聪明，其实只不过是靠猜测。
39. F。根据前面的“The letter claimed AI companies were in a race to create‘ powerful digital minds’ that no one can‘ understand, predict, or control’.”可知，他们认为人工智能公司正在竞相创造无人能“理解、预测或控制”的“强大的数字思维”。因此他们呼吁应该制定法律，以确保人工智能工具是安全的。
40. D。结合后面的“Therefore, many companies are more likely to keep developing powerful AI tools.”可知，D项符合语境。

Dear Emily,
Our class held a theme class meeting last Monday. In this class meeting activity, we discussed the uncivilized behaviors on campus.
The meeting started with a presentation showing some common uncivilized behaviors like littering in the schoolyard, making loud noises in the library and damaging school facilities intentionally. Then, we had a heated discussion in groups on how to correct these behaviors. Finally, an agreement was reached that some posters should be put up to remind everyone to behave politely.
I think such activities can raise our awareness of civilized behaviors. I suggest more similar activities be held in the future.
Yours,
Li Hua

【参考范文】
On the exam day, a fear of failure upset her stomach. Aliya's heart raced as she sat down in front of the desk. She took a deep breath, trying to recall the encouragement from Mrs. Leena. As she began the test, the questions seemed difficult at first, but she pushed through, step by step, using the strategies she had learned. With each question she completed, her confidence grew. By the end of the exam, Aliya felt a sense of accomplishment, not because she was sure she had faced it, but because she had faced her fears and given it her all.
She passed her math exam with an unbelievable A grade on her report card. The moment she saw the grade, tears of joy welled up in her eyes. It wasn't just a grade. It was a testament to her hard work, her teacher's unwavering support, and the resilience she had found within herself. Aliya left the room with her head held high, no longer the student who dreaded math, but a young woman who had conquered her fears and believed in her abilities.

W: One day my friend David phoned and asked me to feed his birds during his travel and said that he would leave the key in my mailbox.（18） Unfortunately, I forgot all about the birds until the night before David was going to return. And that made me feel extremely sorry. （19） So I rushed to his house to feed the birds before his coming back. But when I finally stood in front of the door, I found the key David left could not unlock either the front door or the back door. I looked around the house and noticed that one bedroom window was slightly open. I found a ladder and leaned it against the wall. As the ladder was very heavy, I made a lot of noise. But when I managed to climb up and open the window, I saw a policeman and an old lady, one of David's neighbors. The policeman asked me what I was doing up there. Feeling like a complete fool, I replied that I was just going to feed Mr. David’s birds.

Here are some family- friendly hotels in England.
Another Place, The Lake
Ullswater, Lake District
Another Place is aimed primarily at families and younger adults. The 20- metre glass- fronted indoor pool has children's swimming times. Older children can enjoy water sports on the lake including stand- up paddle- boarding and wild swimming. There's a fully equipped Kids' Zone for all ages, from babies to teenagers.
From 165 per night
Augill Castle
Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria
With the features of a castle but in miniature（小型的）, Augill Castle appeals equally to children and adults, and you'd be hard- pressed to find a more family- friendly castle, with a tree house, playground and tennis court in its 15- acre grounds, and inside, a 12- seater cinema, not to mention the popular children's cookery school.
From 180 per night
Slaley Hall
Hexham, Northumberland
This country hotel, wrapped in woodland and golf courses, is modern in feel. You will not be bored here— take your pick from a range of facilities, including golfing, woodland walks, a gym and an indoor pool. Children can stay in their parents' room for free, but there is a 50 per cent charge if they sleep in an interconnecting room. For decent pub food, the Claret Jug is a family- friendly sports bar.
From 89 per night
Rockli ffe Hall
Hurworth- on- Tees, Durham
Rockliffe Hall is a five- star hotel that also welcomes children. There are generous dedicated（专用的） times at the swimming pool for children.

At 60, mother- of- five Liz Earle is energised, clear- headed, and understands that the way she lives her life will give her the best chance of longevity.
Earle, who sold her beauty company in 2010, isn't one for standing still. She went on to found the Liz Earle Wellbeing magazine, continues with TV appearances, launched the charity LiveTwice, hosts a weekly podcast, and has written 36 books, including her latest, A Better Second Half, a manifesto（宣言） for midlife women.
She was in denial about ageing for a while. She says: ‘I turned 60 last year and I didn't want to acknowledge it. In my mother's generation, 60 was grey hair, twinset and pearls, and slippers. I feel so far removed from that stereotype（刻板印象）.’
Earle, though, has defied the numbers. When she was in her mid-50s, she had her biological markers of age tested, which showed her biological age to be 39. It's now 45, but in the next few years she intends on getting that marker down.
In her late 50s, Earle experienced a lot of upheavals in her personal life, divorcing her second husband and failing in investment. ‘Starting again in my mid-50s was challenging but also energising, because it was an opportunity for a fresh start,’ she reflects. ‘I felt like I was being given a second chance. And I want to encourage other women who feel that they are washed up, too.’
The wellness advice she offers in the book is backed by scientific data, and it's clear that Earle has done a lot of research in the three years it took to write it; she offers all manner of ways to maintain good health.
She is concerned that midlife women don't prioritise themselves. ‘ Society marginalises（使微不足道） midlife women— we become invisible, we become irrelevant, whether that's because we' re losing our looks, or we' re losing our relevance in society. And, actually, that shouldn't be the case. We' re the clever, wise ones who have lived through it,’ she explains.‘ Ageing is a gift,’ Earle continues,‘ Even when I was running the beauty company, we never used the term anti- ageing well— keeping cognitive function, keeping mobility, having a purpose.’
Now, Earle is embracing all the good things that age has brought her, recently welcoming her first grandchild into the world, and she says she is looking forward to the next decade.
24. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Earle
A. She used to work as an employee in a beauty company.
B. She steps out of the comfort zone and embraces changes.
C. She believes she fits the stereotype of the 60- year- olds.
D. She offered wellness advice without any scientific proof.
25. What does the underlined word “upheavals” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Unfair treatments. B. Heavy burdens. C. Sharp criticisms. D. Unpleasant changes.
26. According to paragraph 7, what does Earle encourage midlife women to do
A. To fight against ageing. B. To regain their wisdom.
C. To put themselves first. D. To accept plastic surgery.
27. What's Earle's attitude towards ageing
A. Grateful. B. Fearful. C. Doubtful. D. Pitiful.
C
Inflation（通货膨胀） is the word on everyone's lips, as our coffers（金库） take a hit and prices seem to rise constantly.
Meanwhile, inflation remains stubbornly high in many developed economies despite the interest rate rises designed to bring prices down. The latest figures for the U. K. came in above expectations at 8.7% on an annual basis, while the U. S. Consumer Price Index（指数）（CPI） for May rose by 4% from the previous year. Some economists have found themselves considering a surprising potential contributor: music concerts. But what do concerts and the economy have to do with one another
From top singers to famous bands, Klaus Baader, global chief economist at Societe Generale, has tickets to see various artists this year.“ One of the things that struck me as odd is that acquiring tickets for these concerts nowadays means people have to tighten their belt for a while,” he said.
“And a concert trip doesn’t end with a single ticket. It’s also related to Coca- Cola or hot dogs, the prices of which are always hiked up when shows take place, let alone the accommodation,” he explained.
Take the Renaissance World Tour by a famous American singer- songwriter whose first stop was in Stockholm in May as an example. “In the Swedish May inflation numbers, hotel prices rose more than what is usual for May,” said Filip Andersson, from Danske Bank. “Hotels in the Stockholm region were reportedly fully booked the weeks around the event and prices thus skyrocketed. Due to a third of Sweden’s hotel rooms being in the nation's capital, prices rose dramatically on a national scale.”
Economists have nicknamed the phenomenon: “tourflation”, which has stimulated analysts to give a lot of thought to the upswing. “The concert market is booming. Understandably, this relates to supply and demand forces— consumers are most interested in making up for their time lost during the COVID-19 lockdowns,” Baader explained. He also pointed to changes in how musicians make a profit. “Artists’ models have changed from making money by selling CDs towards earning revenues mostly from concerts,” Baader added.
The impact of concerts on inflation might be short- lived. In Sweden's case, Andersson believes the normalization of inflation levels will occur later after the concert.
28. What can be concluded about inflation from paragraph 2
A. It is a hard- to- tackle and lasting concern. B. It is positively correlated with interest rates.
C. It is much worse in rich developed countries. D. It is an outcome of ineffective financial adjustments.
29. What was Klaus Baader astonished by
A. The limited food choices in concerts. B. The lack of availability of concert tickets.
C. The popularity of top singers and famous bands. D. The overall high expenses for attending concerts.
30. What does the example of the tour in Stockholm show
A. Concerts can boost the acceptability of a city. B. Concerts promote the growth of local entertainment.
C. Concerts do more harm than good to the host city. D. Concerts can have broader impacts on the economy.
31. What does Klaus Baader aim to explain in the sixth paragraph
A. The reason for artists' shifting their income models.
B. The supply and demand conflict in the music industry.
C. The underlying factors behind the tourflation phenomenon.
D. The impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on the concert market.
D
These students wandering through the woods on the outskirts（郊区） of Portland, Oregon, aren't on a school field trip— this muddy field is their school. From the moment they're dropped off in the morning, they spend their entire day outside in one of Oregon's public parks. “Rain or shine, we're out here,” said teacher Christine Fleener.
On this surprisingly nice day, Fleener's class of fifth graders headed to the grassland for a biology lesson. Further down the trail, a group of fourth graders was learning on logs.
It's school, just not the type of school you might be used to. “Forest school is where the classroom does not have walls,” said Tony Deis, one of the founders of Trackers Earth Forest School. “It's how kids originally learned; they didn't learn sitting at desks, facing forward, looking at a teacher. They learned from a multi- sensory environment.”
Over the past decade, outdoor forest schools have gained popularity in the United States. The idea is that the challenges that come with being outside all day— dealing with weather, building your own shelter, unearthing the unexpected— are all part of the learning process.
It's complicated, of course. Outdoor schooling involves a puzzle of weather and regulations and budget issues. A well- funded private school in Portland, Oregon is one thing, but what about a public school in Portland, Maine Surprisingly, cold Maine, of all places, has been quick to adopt outdoor learning.
The district isn't all outside all the time, but certain classes, like art, have moved outdoors. Supplies came from a combination of federal funds and local donations. And while Maine has plenty of open space, Brooke Teller, the outdoor learning coordinator（协调人） for Portland Public Schools, believes schools in major cities could have green classrooms hiding underneath their pavement（路面）. She said, “We have a few hundred landscape architects all across the country who have volunteered to be a thought partner with schools that want to figure out where on their grounds would be best for outdoor learning.”
32. What does the author describe at the beginning of the text
A. An interesting school field trip. B. The routine of a forest school.
C. The popularity of public parks. D. An unforgettable biology lesson.
33. What is the main philosophy behind the concept of forest schools
A. Kids learn by doing. B. Kids learn out of interest.
C. Kids learn by challenging others. D. Kids learn in pleasant environments.
34. What does Teller suggest schools that want to start outdoor education do
A. Start from certain classes. B. Make use of their open space.
C. Work with landscape architects. D. Build green classrooms underground.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Outdoor education in Oregon B. Schools without walls
C. Bringing forests to schools D. Benefits of learning outdoors

Artificial intelligence（AI） tools have become extremely powerful, surprising even their creators. Now, some people say there should be a pause in AI work to make sure it doesn't become dangerous. 36
Most people have probably read a book or seen a movie or show about AI or a robot that has become so smart that it can take over the world. Most current AI tools are good at just one task, like answering questions, or identifying objects in photos.
But scientists have been working to improve AI models, mainly by training the models on larger and larger collections of information. 37 Extremely large models have surprised even their creators with what they can do.
Some recent models can create realistic photos from a short written description. Others can re- create anyone's voice saying anything based on a voice recording just a few seconds long.
38 But really, ChatGPT is simply guessing— based on its training information whose word is most likely to come next, over and over again.
The rapid progress of recent AI models worries some people. Last week, many computer experts released a letter calling for a six- month pause for any work on AI tools. The letter claimed AI companies were in a race to create “powerful digital minds” that no one can “understand, predict, or control”. 39
Not all AI experts agree with the letter. Some say the letter makes today's AI tools sound more intelligent than they really are. Others say it's more important to worry about real problems with current AI tools rather than imaginary ones in the future.
40 Therefore, many companies are more likely to keep developing powerful AI tools. But the letter has sent a strong warning that many people including leaders will be thinking about this matter carefully.
A. This causes terror.
B. However, not everyone agrees.
C. Those efforts are paying off.
D. ChatGPT has caused so much excitement.
E. ChatGPT appears to be extremely intelligent.
F. They expect laws to make sure AI tools are safe.
G. They predict the threat of AI will be powerful.

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。
“Not again!” Aliya shouted angrily, looking at the marks she had attained in her math test.
It seemed as if failing in the math test had become a part and parcel of her life. Despite her efforts, she had been unable to perform well. Tears in her eyes, she quickly shoved（乱塞） the paper into her bag before any classmate could make a rude comment on her.
Effortlessly, using the back of her palm, she was wiping the tears when her teacher Mrs. Leena noticed her. She came to Aliya's desk and, in a soft voice, asked her to see her during the break time.
Wondering what it could be, Aliya waited impatiently for lunchtime. Finally, when the bell rang, she made her way to Mrs. Leena. As soon as she saw Aliya, she gestured for her to sit on the empty chair beside her.
She carefully studied her face, cleared her throat with a bright smile and said, “You seem to be anxious. I think I know what's bothering you. If you allow me I think together we may come up with a good solution.”
With a puzzled look, she said sadly, “Well ma’ am, you know I have been struggling in maths since the beginning of the term. It seems as if no matter how hard I work, I am unable to get the desired result. I feel so upset.”
“You need not be so gloomy,” encouraged Mrs. Leena. “ With these three key ingredients: hard work, determination and resilience（韧性）, you will move ahead and succeed. It's always the first step that's difficult, but once you decide not to look back and not give up, you will be successful, my e on, gather yourself and let's work on it together.”
From that day onwards, Aliya worked hard, religiously following her teacher's advice. By the time the final exams drew close, she had thoroughly revised her math book and was well- prepared.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文，文章介绍了四个在英国适合家庭度假居住的酒店。
21. B。细节理解题。由Augill Castle部分中的“not to mention the popular children’s cookery school”可知，这个酒店为孩子们提供烹饪课程。
22. C。细节理解题。由Slaley Hall部分中的“Hexham, Northumberland”以及“From 89 per night”可知，位于 Northumberland的这个酒店提供收费每晚低于 150英镑的房间。
23. D。细节理解题。由Another Place, The Lake 部分中的“The 20- metre glass- fronted indoor pool has children's swimming times.”以及 Rockliffe Hall部分中的“There are generous dedicated（专用的） times at the swimming pool for children.”可知，这两个酒店都为孩子们提供特定的游泳时间。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇人物传记，讲述了60岁的丽兹·厄尔对衰老问题的看法及建议。
24. B。推理判断题。从第二段中的“She went on to found the Liz Earle Wellbeing magazine, continues with TV appearances, launched the charity LiveTwice, hosts a weekly podcast, and has written 36 books, including her latest， A Better Second Half, a manifesto（宣言） for midlife women.”可知，厄尔的生活丰富多彩，不满足于平淡生活。故选 B。
25. D。词义猜测题。从第五段中的“divorcing her second husband and failing in investment”可知，厄尔经历了人生的巨变。故选 D。
26. C。细节理解题。从第七段中的“She is concerned that midlife women don't prioritise themselves.”可知，厄尔担心中年女性不优先考虑自我，因此她鼓励中年女性将自己放在第一位。故选C。
27. A。推理判断题。从第七段和第八段可知，厄尔将变老看作一份礼物，并拥抱变老带来的一切好处，说明她对变老充满感恩之情。故选A。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了演唱会对通货膨胀的潜在影响。
28. A。推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Meanwhile, inflation ...4% from the previous year.”可知，通过金融措施如利率上涨也难以解决通货膨胀问题，因此通货膨胀是一个难以解决且持续存在的问题。
29. D。细节理解题。根据第三、四段中的“… struck me as odd is that acquiring tickets … let alone the accommodation”可知，巴德尔对看演唱会的整体高费用感到惊讶。
30. D。推理判断题。根据第五段中的“In the Swedish May inflation numbers, hotel prices ... prices rose dramatically on a national scale.”可知，拿去斯德哥尔摩看演唱会举例是为了说明在某个城市举办演唱会，会对其经济造成影响甚至会波及全国，故音乐会对经济有更广泛的影响。
31. C。推理判断题。根据第六段可知，巴德尔阐述了巡演通货膨胀这一现象背后的影响因素，包括后疫情时代音乐会市场火热发展和艺人收入模式的改变两方面。
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章介绍了日渐受欢迎的全户外教学模式。
32. B。推理判断题。根据第一段中的“this muddy field is their school”以及“Rain or shine, we' re out here”可知，本段主要描写了俄勒冈州波特兰市一所森林学校中学生的日常活动——在森林里探索。
33. A。推理判断题。根据第三段中的“they didn’t learn sitting at desks, facing forward, looking at a teacher. They learned from a multi- sensory environment”和第四段中的“The idea is that the challenges that come with being outside all day— dealing with weather, building your own shelter, unearthing the unexpected— are all part of the learning process.”可知，孩子们并没有通过坐在桌前、面朝前、看着老师学习，而是在多感官环境中学习。在户外所面临的挑战——应对天气、建造自己的住所、发掘意想不到的东西——都是学习过程的一部分。由此可推知，森林学校背后的理念就是儿童在实践中学习。
34. C。细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Brooke Teller … believes schools in major cities could have green classrooms hiding underneath their pavement（路面）. She said, ‘We have a few hundred landscape architects ... best for outdoor learning””可知，特勒认为大城市的学校可以创建绿色教室。她说：“全国各地有几百名景观建筑师愿意与学校合作，帮助学校找到户外学习的最佳场地。”即她建议学校寻求景观建筑师的帮助，与他们合作。
35. B。主旨大意题。本文以某森林学校的日常活动展开，介绍了户外教学的理念、面临的困难及可能的解决办法。B项呼应了文中 Trackers Earth 森林学校创始人之一托尼·戴斯所说的“Forest school is where the classroom does not have walls”。
【语篇导读】本文主要讨论了人工智能工具是否真的变得过于强大的问题。
36. B。根据前面提到的“Now, some people say there should be a pause in AI work to make sure it doesn't become dangerous.”以及倒数第二段中的“Not all AI experts agree with the letter.”可知，一些人建议人工智能工具应该暂停，以确保它不会变得危险，下文接着说明人们对该建议的反应。B项“然而，这种说法并不是人人都同意”符合语境。
37. C。结合前面的“But scientists have been working to improve AI models”以及后面的“Extremely large models have surprised even their creators with what they can do.”可知，C项“这些努力得到了回报”承上启下，符合语境。
38. E。空处与后面的“But really, ChatGPT is simply guessing— based on its training information whose word is most likely to come next, over and over again.”形成对比，ChatGPT看上去似乎非常聪明，其实只不过是靠猜测。
39. F。根据前面的“The letter claimed AI companies were in a race to create‘ powerful digital minds’ that no one can‘ understand, predict, or control’.”可知，他们认为人工智能公司正在竞相创造无人能“理解、预测或控制”的“强大的数字思维”。因此他们呼吁应该制定法律，以确保人工智能工具是安全的。
40. D。结合后面的“Therefore, many companies are more likely to keep developing powerful AI tools.”可知，D项符合语境。

Dear Emily,
Our class held a theme class meeting last Monday. In this class meeting activity, we discussed the uncivilized behaviors on campus.
The meeting started with a presentation showing some common uncivilized behaviors like littering in the schoolyard, making loud noises in the library and damaging school facilities intentionally. Then, we had a heated discussion in groups on how to correct these behaviors. Finally, an agreement was reached that some posters should be put up to remind everyone to behave politely.
I think such activities can raise our awareness of civilized behaviors. I suggest more similar activities be held in the future.
Yours,
Li Hua

【参考范文】
On the exam day, a fear of failure upset her stomach. Aliya's heart raced as she sat down in front of the desk. She took a deep breath, trying to recall the encouragement from Mrs. Leena. As she began the test, the questions seemed difficult at first, but she pushed through, step by step, using the strategies she had learned. With each question she completed, her confidence grew. By the end of the exam, Aliya felt a sense of accomplishment, not because she was sure she had faced it, but because she had faced her fears and given it her all.
She passed her math exam with an unbelievable A grade on her report card. The moment she saw the grade, tears of joy welled up in her eyes. It wasn't just a grade. It was a testament to her hard work, her teacher's unwavering support, and the resilience she had found within herself. Aliya left the room with her head held high, no longer the student who dreaded math, but a young woman who had conquered her fears and believed in her abilities.
【语篇导读】本文以事件发展为线索展开，讲述了一个名叫阿里娅的学生在数学考试中持续遭遇挫折，但她最终在老师丽娜的鼓励和指导下，通过勤奋努力、坚定决心和韧性，成功克服了困难，准备迎接最终的考试。
【详解】
1.段落续写：

②由第二段首句内容“她的数学考试得了一个难以置信的A等成绩。”可知，第二段可描写阿里娅看到成绩时，眼中涌出了喜悦的泪水。这成绩不仅代表分数，更是她的努力、老师的支持和自身韧性的证明。她自信地离开教室，已从害怕数学的学生蜕变为战胜恐惧、自信满满的女孩。
2.续写线索：考试日——害怕失败——老师的话——运用策略——信心增加——得了A等成绩——成就感——获得自信——感悟

W: One day my friend David phoned and asked me to feed his birds during his travel and said that he would leave the key in my mailbox.（18） Unfortunately, I forgot all about the birds until the night before David was going to return. And that made me feel extremely sorry. （19） So I rushed to his house to feed the birds before his coming back. But when I finally stood in front of the door, I found the key David left could not unlock either the front door or the back door. I looked around the house and noticed that one bedroom window was slightly open. I found a ladder and leaned it against the wall. As the ladder was very heavy, I made a lot of noise. But when I managed to climb up and open the window, I saw a policeman and an old lady, one of David's neighbors. The policeman asked me what I was doing up there. Feeling like a complete fool, I replied that I was just going to feed Mr. David’s birds.
