Kevin Beard is my class instructor. Most weeks, I’d greet Kevin as he set up gloves, mats, and other equipment. So I was shocked when I arrived one day to find him standing in front of the room telling a story, with tears streaming down his cheeks. I was worried something had gone terribly wrong in his life, but as I listened to him talk, I heard him use words like “amazing”and “accomplishment.”I realized his tears weren’t out of sorrow, but happiness. Just a few days earlier, he’d received his GED (General Equivalency Diploma), at the age of 52.
Having dyslexia (阅读障碍), Kevin left school at a young age and then managed to support himself by taking odd jobs. In his mid-30s, Kevin finally landed an opportunity for a job with some promise: working for a sheriff’s department (治安部门). Amazingly, when he came clean with them about his education, they said they’d hire him as long as he got his GED. He agreed, optimistic about this new career potential, and kind of excited about giving school another chance.
Kevin studied with a tutor (家庭教师), and he did it for more than a decade, learning and practicing and correcting his mistakes, every free moment he had, often late into the night. It was a huge challenge, something Kevin compares to“climbing a mountain.”In fact, as Kevin took tests along the way, he did something interesting with each of his results. He posted them on his bedroom wall so that he could watch his progress.“I needed to see myself moving forward, and I wanted to speak,”he said.
Finally, he made it.“I can’t really describe what it’s like to finally achieve this,”he said.“I can hardly even put it into words. People are giving me graduation gifts! It’s a dream come true.”
This might sound like a perfect ending. But for Kevin, it’s a new beginning. He’s on a roll, and his next step is college. “Now that I’ve accomplished my GED, I’m hungry for education,”he said.
4. Why did Kevin cry in the classroom
A. He was worried about his future.
B. He had reached one of his goals.
C. He was moved by a touching story.
D. He had experienced something terrible.
5. What was the response of the sheriff’s department when they learned of Kevin’s education
A. They recommended a part-time job to him.
B. They assessed his suitability for the job.
C. They refused him directly.
D. They gave him hope.
6. How did Kevin encourage himself to keep going to get his GED
A. By taking time to do things that interest him.
B. By reporting his test results to his tutor.
C. By writing himself encouraging words.
D. By reminding himself of his progress.
7. What can we learn from Kevin’s story
A. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. B. The early bird catches the worm.
C. Practice makes perfect. D. Grasp all, lose all.
C
Women usually live longer than men, but they also get sick more often. New research from the University of Georgia shows that eating a good diet with lots of colorful fruits and vegetables can help women stay healthier. These foods have something called carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), which are good for our eyes and brains.
The study looked at many past studies and found that women get more health problems than men. These problems include diseases where the body fights itself and memory loss. Women are more likely to get these diseases because of their biology. “Women have more body fat than men, which is good for having babies, but it also means they need to eat more healthy things to stay well,” said Hammond, a researcher.
Why are women more vulnerable (脆弱的) to health problems One reason is how they store vitamins (维生素) and minerals. Women’s bodies keep more fat, and fat can hold these important nutrients (营养物). This is helpful when they are having babies, but it also means there might not be enough for their eyes and brains.
Eating foods with carotenoids is important because they help protect our bodies from damage. Some carotenoids are found in parts of our eyes and brains and can help with problems in the nervous system. “Both men and women eat these foods, but women need more because their bodies use them up faster,” said Hammond.
The food we eat can affect our brains and how we feel. It can even change our feelings and how likely we are to get angry. Now, scientists are learning that the food we eat also affects the bacteria (细菌) in our stomachs, which are important to our health too.
8. What does the study suggest about carotenoids
A. They are only beneficial to men.
B. They are not necessary for a healthy diet.
C. They are good for women’s eyes and brains.
D. They have no effect on the central nervous system.
9. What is one of the reasons women may need a better diet
A. Women need less food than men.
B. Women’s diets are short of carbohydrates.
C. Women need more vitamins to support their body fat.
D. Women have a higher risk of developing health problems.
10. What is the connection between diet and the bacteria in our stomachs
A. Certain bacteria can only be found in women’s stomachs.
B. The bacteria in our stomachs have nothing to do with our health.
C. The bacteria in our stomachs determine our food preferences.
D. The food we eat affects the bacteria in our stomachs.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Why do women live longer than men
B. Why do women lose more memory
C. Women may have a higher risk of mental illness
D. Diets with more carotenoids can help women stay healthier
D
Deepfake technology, which uses AI and machine learning and can change videos and photographs in a way that appears realistic, has frequently been covered in a negative light. The technology can be used to violate (侵犯) privacy and create fake videos. While these potential abuses of the technology are real and concerning, it doesn’t mean we should turn a blind eye to the technology’s potential.
Jaime Donally, a math teacher and technologist, has written about how a type of deepfake technology called Deep Nostalgia that went viral in 2021 can allow students to form a stronger connection with the past. She never met her grandfather in her real life. Using deepfake technology she was able to make one of the few photos that exist of her grandfather come to life, which was moving for her. “It just gave this deeper connection,” she says.
Teachers have used the deepfake technology to bring historical figures such as Albert Einstein to life. One teacher Donally has “communicated” with Frederick Douglass to help students connect with Douglass’ famous 1852 speech about the meaning of the Fourth of July to Black enslaved Americans. Another teacher has plans to use the technology to have students interview a historical figure and create dialogue for them. “It makes them want to learn more,” Donally says of using deepfake technology.” It drives them into kind of the history and understanding a bit more, and I think it also helps them identify who they are in that process.”
As much potential as deep fake technology has there are still important privacy concerns educators need to weigh and evaluate. It’s important to check the legality (合法性) of data collection of facial structure, features, and expressions, and how that information is stored or shared. Teachers should help their students learn to navigate this new technology that will likely be a part of society going forward.
12. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. Deepfake has aroused much interest in public.
B. Deepfake can produce more realistic photos.
C. The benefits of deepfake shouldn’t be ignored.
D. More and more fake videos created by deepfake.
13. What does “went viral” underlined in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Became unpopular. B. Spread fast.
C. Was ignored. D. Remained fresh.
14. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Reasons for popularity of deepfake technology.
B. Application of deepfake technology in education.
C. Expectation for deepfake technology in society.
D. The wide use of deepfake technology in classrooms.
15. What is the authors’ attitude towards the uses of deepfake
A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Unclear. D. Favourable.

Women usually live longer than men, but they also get sick more often. New research from the University of Georgia shows that eating a good diet with lots of colorful fruits and vegetables can help women stay healthier. These foods have something called carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), which are good for our eyes and brains.
The study looked at many past studies and found that women get more health problems than men. These problems include diseases where the body fights itself and memory loss. Women are more likely to get these diseases because of their biology. “Women have more body fat than men, which is good for having babies, but it also means they need to eat more healthy things to stay well,” said Hammond, a researcher.
Why are women more vulnerable (脆弱的) to health problems One reason is how they store vitamins (维生素) and minerals. Women’s bodies keep more fat, and fat can hold these important nutrients (营养物). This is helpful when they are having babies, but it also means there might not be enough for their eyes and brains.
Eating foods with carotenoids is important because they help protect our bodies from damage. Some carotenoids are found in parts of our eyes and brains and can help with problems in the nervous system. “Both men and women eat these foods, but women need more because their bodies use them up faster,” said Hammond.
The food we eat can affect our brains and how we feel. It can even change our feelings and how likely we are to get angry. Now, scientists are learning that the food we eat also affects the bacteria (细菌) in our stomachs, which are important to our health too.
8. What does the study suggest about carotenoids
A. They are only beneficial to men.
B. They are not necessary for a healthy diet.
C. They are good for women’s eyes and brains.
D. They have no effect on the central nervous system.
9. What is one of the reasons women may need a better diet
A. Women need less food than men.
B. Women’s diets are short of carbohydrates.
C. Women need more vitamins to support their body fat.
D. Women have a higher risk of developing health problems.
10. What is the connection between diet and the bacteria in our stomachs
A. Certain bacteria can only be found in women’s stomachs.
B. The bacteria in our stomachs have nothing to do with our health.
C. The bacteria in our stomachs determine our food preferences.
D. The food we eat affects the bacteria in our stomachs.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Why do women live longer than men
B. Why do women lose more memory
C. Women may have a higher risk of mental illness
D. Diets with more carotenoids can help women stay healthier
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. D

Deepfake technology, which uses AI and machine learning and can change videos and photographs in a way that appears realistic, has frequently been covered in a negative light. The technology can be used to violate (侵犯) privacy and create fake videos. While these potential abuses of the technology are real and concerning, it doesn’t mean we should turn a blind eye to the technology’s potential.
Jaime Donally, a math teacher and technologist, has written about how a type of deepfake technology called Deep Nostalgia that went viral in 2021 can allow students to form a stronger connection with the past. She never met her grandfather in her real life. Using deepfake technology she was able to make one of the few photos that exist of her grandfather come to life, which was moving for her. “It just gave this deeper connection,” she says.
Teachers have used the deepfake technology to bring historical figures such as Albert Einstein to life. One teacher Donally has “communicated” with Frederick Douglass to help students connect with Douglass’ famous 1852 speech about the meaning of the Fourth of July to Black enslaved Americans. Another teacher has plans to use the technology to have students interview a historical figure and create dialogue for them. “It makes them want to learn more,” Donally says of using deepfake technology.” It drives them into kind of the history and understanding a bit more, and I think it also helps them identify who they are in that process.”
As much potential as deep fake technology has, there are still important privacy concerns educators need to weigh and evaluate. It’s important to check the legality (合法性) of data collection of facial structure, features, and expressions, and how that information is stored or shared. Teachers should help their students learn to navigate this new technology that will likely be a part of society going forward.
12. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. Deepfake has aroused much interest in public.
B. Deepfake can produce more realistic photos.
C. The benefits of deepfake shouldn’t be ignored.
D. More and more fake videos created by deepfake.
13. What does “went viral” underlined in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Became unpopular. B. Spread fast.
C. Was ignored. D. Remained fresh.
14. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Reasons for popularity of deepfake technology.
B. Application of deepfake technology in education.
C. Expectation for deepfake technology in society.
D. The wide use of deepfake technology in classrooms.
15. What is the authors’ attitude towards the uses of deepfake
A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Unclear. D. Favourable.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A

There is a picture showing us a touching moment when a little girl comes to greet her working mom. Realizing her mom must be very tired after a day’s work, the girl helps to remove the bag from her shoulder. In response, the mom kneels down to show how happy and thankful she feels.

All this reminds me of my mother and a tear-jerking (催人泪下的) moment.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】All this reminds me of my mother and a tear-jerking (催人泪下的) moment. I am so addicted to study that I often ignore all the things my mother has done for me. But, totally engaged in my own study, I seldom pay attention to what mother needs and feels, and always think studying well is the only thing I could do in return. I always take for granted what my mother did to me. I feel so sorry for what I did before. Now I know I can do my bit to help with the everyday washing, bedroom cleaning, or at least prepare breakfast myself, so as to share mother’s daily burden. The picture convinces me it is even more important to be a good daughter than a “good” student.
