The photographs that Scilla took as a 16-year-old girl on the streets of London in 1955 stayed largely in her album (相册) over the years. Scilla is now 83, and her self-developed black-and-white photos have been brought back to life after they were discovered by a teenage photographer.
Over the past year, Philip Loveday, 16, has been revisiting his grandmother’s path across the capital to carefully rephotograph the pictures. His journey through time with a camera has been especially moving, because his grandmother, Scilla, has Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) and has lost many of her memories.
Philip took new photos that looked like the ones Scilla took long ago, and put them in a new album. Each page of Scilla’s old album was copied and put in the new one, with Philip’s new photos on the opposite pages. Philip’s mother, Catherine Loveday, said Scilla had been happy with the new album, which had “put her back in her shoes” as a teenager.
Philip said his mother showed him the album she had found at her mother’s house. Greatly absorbed in how modern London would compare to the city photographed by his grandmother, Philip and his mother began to make trips into central London. During the trips, they had the idea of retaking the photos.
Some of the places are similar, like Big Ben. Others show how the city has modernized. Unlike Scilla’s view of St. Paul’s Cathedral from the Thames, Philip’s retake has the Millenium Bridge. When Scilla photographed the John Lewis store on Oxford Street, it was a one-storey building — now it has seven floors. Philip had to use his imagination to recreate other sights. Scilla has repeatedly returned to her new album since receiving it. Philip said: “It’s nice for her to see someone taking an interest in those photos and going back over them, and also good for her to connect her past to where we are now.”
4. What did Philip do for Scilla during the past year
A. He taught her how to use a camera.
B. He took her to visit London streets.
C. He found a new way to treat her disease.
D. He recreated photos of London she had taken.
5. What influence did Philip’s work have on Scilla
A. It inspired her to take photos. B. It made her think of her teenage days.
C. It encouraged her to travel across London. D. It raised her confidence to fight off illness.
6. What does the underlined word “absorbed” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Troubled. B. Interested. C. Experienced. D. Disappointed.
7. What is the best title of this passage
A. A teenager sensed the great changes of London.
B. An old lady suffered a lot from Alzheimer’s disease.
C. A teenager and his mother travelled to London for fun.
D. A teenager’s photos helped recover his grandmother’s memory.
C
On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted (预测) that 42% of Americans could be overweight by 2030. Our increasing weights lead to not only a medical problem, but according to a recent article in The New York Times, it could also endanger personal safety in some situations-in an airplane crash, for example.
The New York Times’ Christen Negroni reports that engineers and scientists are questioning whether airplane seats are strong enough to protect overweight travelers. Government standards for airplane seat strength-first set more than 60 years ago-require that the seats be made for a passenger weighing 170 pounds (77kg), Today, the average (平均的) American man weighs, nearly194 pounds (88kg) and the average woman 165 pounds (75kg), Negroni reports:
“If a heavier person completely fills seat, the seat is not likely to act as planned during a crash,” said Robert Salazar, the leading scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the University of Virginia. “The energy absorption (能量吸收) that is built into the airplane seat is likely to be overpowered and the passengers will not be protected properly.”
“Nor would the injury be limited to that passenger only,” Dr. Salzar said. “If a seat or a seat belt fails,” he said, “those people who are seated nearby could be endangered from ‘the uncontrolled movements of the passenger’.”
Most of the dissatisfaction with airplane seats focuses on their being less comfortable and high ticket price, and whether overweight passengers should be made to buy two seats. But The New York Times’ article brings up another reason to feel anxious about flying. Researchers got in touch with the airplane seat and seat belt makers, but they refused to comment on the problem. Experts agreed that crash testing should be done with overweight models. Both airplane seats and seat belts should be tested, they said.
Luckily, however, according to Nora Marshall, a senior adviser at the National Transportation Safety Board, the board’s researchers have never seen an accident relating to a commercial plane in which the weight of a passenger was a problem.
8. What does the article in The New York Times mainly focus on
A. The top risks of airplane crashes. B. Safety of overweight airplane passengers.
C. The size of airplane seats and seat belts. D. A medical problem caused by being overweight.
9. Which one would Robert Salazar probably agree with
A. Overweight passengers should buy two seats.
B. The government should help produce safer planes.
C. Standards for airplane seat strength should be raised.
D. Passengers should know how to protect themselves.
10. What can we learn from the text
A Airplane seat makers have taken action already.
B. There is less dissatisfaction with airplane seats.
C Those seated near the overweight may suffer too.
D. Only a few airplane accidents relate to the overweight.
11. In which part of a magazine may we read the text
A. Society. B. Culture. C. Education. D. Relationship.
D
A Japanese city is using AI (人工智能) to help with the problem of kids not wanting to go to school. They look at students’ information to see who might stop coming because of worries, being bullied (欺凌), or other problems.
In a city near Tokyo, they tested an Al system for a year. They wanted to help teachers find students who are having a hard time. In Japan, more and more kids are not going to school for a long time. In 2022, almost 300,000 kids didn’t go to school for 30 days or more.
The AI system looks at things like how often kids go to school, how well they do in school, and if they are healthy. It also looks at if they visit the school nurse a lot or if there are reports about them being bullied.
The system then uses past data (数据) to see how likely it is that a student will stop going to school. It gives each student a color, from red (highest risk) to yellow (lowest risk).
In the test, the program said 1,193 students were at high risk. Teachers decided that 265 of them needed help right away.
To keep kids’ information safe, the city made rules about how to use the data and not to treat students unfairly because of the AI’s predictions (预测). They also told parents they could say no to using their kids’ data. Only important people in the school, like headmasters, could see the results.
“By using real information, we might be able to stop kids from not wanting to go to school,” said Makiko Nakamuro, a professor from Keio University and an expert on education. “But we have to think really hard about keeping their data safe by telling them clearly why and how we use their information,” she also said.
12. What is the main purpose of using AI in the Japanese city
A. To improve students’ scores.
B. To study students’ health conditions.
C. To make bullying problems happen less in schools.
D. To find students at risk of not attending school.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A The job of school nurses. B. How the AI system checks kids’ health.
C. The main focus of the AI system. D. Why students need better education.
14 How did the city protect students’ information
A. Make strict rules about data using. B. Hide all the data after testing.
C. Give up using their real information. D. Send the result only to their parents.
15. What is Makiko Nakamuro’s attitude towards the AI system
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Anxious. D. Confused.

Learning English or any language is like anything that requires continuous effort, like training for a marathon, or trying to lose weight.

When I was a teenager, my mother had a hard time finding me onstage (在舞台上) in the dancing show. I was always in the back row,out of sight, out of mind. Sometimes the stage lights didn’t t even reach me, and I ended up dancing in the shadows.
I didn’t t start out that way. As a kid, I was a confident dancer. At eleven, though, I put on weight. I still danced through my routines with energy, but I was always placed in the back row. My teachers didn’t remember my name half the time.
In high school,I put on weight. I wanted to join the dancing club. However“You need to lose weight,”my teacher said. I walked out of the class and never returned.Dance was still part of my life, though.I took classes off and on at another school and at my university. Finally, I decided to start performing in flash mobs (快闪行动). While I had no interest in making it a career, I enjoyed my projects. I danced well, and I was chosen. The show kept inviting me back. More often than not, I was placed in the featured dancers’ group.
There was only one problem: Though I had fun, I still believed in those teachers from childhood instead of myself. Deep down, no matter what anyone said to me, I still thought that I was a terrible dancer.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
At one performance, the director of the flash mob company, Staci, finally called me out.

The photographs that Scilla took as a 16-year-old girl on the streets of London in 1955 stayed largely in her album (相册) over the years. Scilla is now 83, and her self-developed black-and-white photos have been brought back to life after they were discovered by a teenage photographer.
Over the past year, Philip Loveday, 16, has been revisiting his grandmother’s path across the capital to carefully rephotograph the pictures. His journey through time with a camera has been especially moving, because his grandmother, Scilla, has Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) and has lost many of her memories.
Philip took new photos that looked like the ones Scilla took long ago, and put them in a new album. Each page of Scilla’s old album was copied and put in the new one, with Philip’s new photos on the opposite pages. Philip’s mother, Catherine Loveday, said Scilla had been happy with the new album, which had “put her back in her shoes” as a teenager.
Philip said his mother showed him the album she had found at her mother’s house. Greatly absorbed in how modern London would compare to the city photographed by his grandmother, Philip and his mother began to make trips into central London. During the trips, they had the idea of retaking the photos.
Some of the places are similar, like Big Ben. Others show how the city has modernized. Unlike Scilla’s view of St. Paul’s Cathedral from the Thames, Philip’s retake has the Millenium Bridge. When Scilla photographed the John Lewis store on Oxford Street, it was a one-storey building — now it has seven floors. Philip had to use his imagination to recreate other sights. Scilla has repeatedly returned to her new album since receiving it. Philip said: “It’s nice for her to see someone taking an interest in those photos and going back over them, and also good for her to connect her past to where we are now.”
4. What did Philip do for Scilla during the past year
A. He taught her how to use a camera.
B. He took her to visit London streets.
C. He found a new way to treat her disease.
D. He recreated photos of London she had taken.
5. What influence did Philip’s work have on Scilla
A. It inspired her to take photos. B. It made her think of her teenage days.
C It encouraged her to travel across London. D. It raised her confidence to fight off illness.
6. What does the underlined word “absorbed” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Troubled. B. Interested. C. Experienced. D. Disappointed.
7. What is the best title of this passage
A. A teenager sensed the great changes of London.
B. An old lady suffered a lot from Alzheimer’s disease.
C. A teenager and his mother travelled to London for fun.
D. A teenager’s photos helped recover his grandmother’s memory.

On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted (预测) that 42% of Americans could be overweight by 2030. Our increasing weights lead to not only a medical problem, but according to a recent article in The New York Times, it could also endanger personal safety in some situations-in an airplane crash, for example.
The New York Times’ Christen Negroni reports that engineers and scientists are questioning whether airplane seats are strong enough to protect overweight travelers. Government standards for airplane seat strength-first set more than 60 years ago-require that the seats be made for a passenger weighing 170 pounds (77kg), Today, the average (平均的) American man weighs, nearly194 pounds (88kg) and the average woman 165 pounds (75kg), Negroni reports:
“If a heavier person completely fills seat, the seat is not likely to act as planned during a crash,” said Robert Salazar, the leading scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the University of Virginia. “The energy absorption (能量吸收) that is built into the airplane seat is likely to be overpowered and the passengers will not be protected properly.”
“Nor would the injury be limited to that passenger only,” Dr. Salzar said. “If a seat or a seat belt fails,” he said, “those people who are seated nearby could be endangered from ‘the uncontrolled movements of the passenger’.”
Most of the dissatisfaction with airplane seats focuses on their being less comfortable and high ticket price, and whether overweight passengers should be made to buy two seats. But The New York Times’ article brings up another reason to feel anxious about flying. Researchers got in touch with the airplane seat and seat belt makers, but they refused to comment on the problem. Experts agreed that crash testing should be done with overweight models. Both airplane seats and seat belts should be tested, they said.
Luckily, however, according to Nora Marshall, a senior adviser at the National Transportation Safety Board, the board’s researchers have never seen an accident relating to a commercial plane in which the weight of a passenger was a problem.
8. What does the article in The New York Times mainly focus on
A. The top risks of airplane crashes. B. Safety of overweight airplane passengers.
C. The size of airplane seats and seat belts. D. A medical problem caused by being overweight.
9. Which one would Robert Salazar probably agree with
A. Overweight passengers should buy two seats.
B. The government should help produce safer planes.
C. Standards for airplane seat strength should be raised.
D. Passengers should know how to protect themselves.
10. What can we learn from the text
A. Airplane seat makers have taken action already.
B. There is less dissatisfaction with airplane seats.
C. Those seated near the overweight may suffer too.
D. Only a few airplane accidents relate to the overweight.
11. In which part of a magazine may we read the text
A. Society. B. Culture. C. Education. D. Relationship.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A
D
A Japanese city is using AI (人工智能) to help with the problem of kids not wanting to go to school. They look at students’ information to see who might stop coming because of worries, being bullied (欺凌), or other problems.
In a city near Tokyo, they tested an Al system for a year. They wanted to help teachers find students who are having a hard time. In Japan, more and more kids are not going to school for a long time. In 2022, almost 300,000 kids didn’t go to school for 30 days or more.
The AI system looks at things like how often kids go to school, how well they do in school, and if they are healthy. It also looks at if they visit the school nurse a lot or if there are reports about them being bullied.
The system then uses past data (数据) to see how likely it is that a student will stop going to school. It gives each student a color, from red (highest risk) to yellow (lowest risk).
In the test, the program said 1,193 students were at high risk. Teachers decided that 265 of them needed help right away.
To keep kids’ information safe, the city made rules about how to use the data and not to treat students unfairly because of the AI’s predictions (预测). They also told parents they could say no to using their kids’ data. Only important people in the school, like headmasters, could see the results.
“By using real information we might be able to stop kids from not wanting to go to school,” said Makiko Nakamuro, a professor from Keio University and an expert on education. “But we have to think really hard about keeping their data safe by telling them clearly why and how we use their information,” she also said.
12. What is the main purpose of using AI in the Japanese city
A. To improve students’ scores.
B. To study students’ health conditions.
C. To make bullying problems happen less in schools.
D. To find students at risk of not attending school.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The job of school nurses. B. How the AI system checks kids’ health.
C. The main focus of the AI system. D. Why students need better education.
14. How did the city protect students’ information
A. Make strict rules about data using. B. Hide all the data after testing.
C. Give up using their real information. D. Send the result only to their parents.
15. What is Makiko Nakamuro’s attitude towards the AI system
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Anxious. D. Confused.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B

47. 阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落的开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was a teenager, my mother had a hard time finding me onstage (在舞台上) in the dancing show. I was always in the back row,out of sight, out of mind. Sometimes the stage lights didn’t t even reach me, and I ended up dancing in the shadows.
I didn’t t start out that way. As a kid, I was a confident dancer. At eleven, though, I put on weight. I still danced through my routines with energy, but I was always placed in the back row. My teachers didn’t remember my name half the time.
In high school,I put on weight. I wanted to join the dancing club. However“You need to lose weight,”my teacher said. I walked out of the class and never returned.Dance was still part of my life, though.I took classes off and on at another school and at my university. Finally, I decided to start performing in flash mobs (快闪行动). While I had no interest in making it a career, I enjoyed my projects. I danced well, and I was chosen. The show kept inviting me back. More often than not, I was placed in the featured dancers’ group.
There was only one problem: Though I had fun, I still believed in those teachers from childhood instead of myself. Deep down, no matter what anyone said to me, I still thought that I was a terrible dancer.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
At one performance, the director of the flash mob company, Staci, finally called me out.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I found my courage and stopped hiding in the back.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 At one performance the director of the flash mob company, Staci, finally called me out. She told me,“You’d better not hide in the back row this time, if you know the dance. You’re not doing anyone any favors back there!” Those words surprised me, but after a while, I realized she was right. In most of the flash mobs I’d done, I’d always gone to the back. Nobody had placed me there; we picked our own spots. Staci had correctly pointed out that I was selling myself short.
I found my courage and stopped hiding in the back. And the more I stayed in the front row, the more confidence I had. I finally got back the true dancing spirit that I’d lost when I was eleven. It brought joy back to my performance. I hope my old dance teachers have seen me on TV and wondered,“Wait, wasn’t t that girl in my class ” I am not a highly skilled dancer, and there’s always room for improvement, but I’m the best I can possibly be. I’m a good dancer.
