【答案】Dear Jack,
I understand how challenging it can be to adjust to the increased pressures of high school life. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed at times, but remember that you’re not alone. Many students experience similar struggles when transitioning into a new academic environment.
To help manage your stress and improve your sleep, I recommend incorporating some relaxation techniques into your daily routine. Deep breathing exercises or meditation before bed can work wonders for calming the mind. Additionally, establishing a consistent sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day can greatly benefit your overall well-being.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to teachers, friends, or family members if you need someone to talk to. You’ve got this!
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 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、
【答案】Paragraph1:
But the reality was not something that I had ever imagined. Due to lack of training, I failed to get the key point of my speech, for which I wasn’t well prepared. I didn’t know what to say and my mind just went blank. I was so nervous that I just stood there. I felt all the people present were looking at me with strange eyes. I was very embarrassed and shed big big sweat.
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly, a comforting hand from behind held mine. It came from one of my teammates. He whispered to me, “Don’t be nervous and don’t be afraid. All of us are here to support you and cheer you up. I’m here to help you.” At this time, I realized the mistakes I had made before. I shouldn’t be too confident in myself. I should have humbly trained more with my teammates. At the moment, I was forgiven by my teammates. I pulled myself together, quickly straightened out my ideas and finished my speech. I saw all my teammates applaud for me and I was moved to tears.

What a day! I started at my new school this morning and had the best time. I made lots of new friends and really liked my teachers. I was nervous the night before, but I had no reason to be. Everyone was so friendly and polite. They made me feel at ease. It was like I’d been at the school for a hundred years!
The day started very early at 7:00 am. I had my breakfast down stairs with my mom. She could tell that I was very nervous. Mom kept asking me what was wrong. She told me I had nothing to worry about and that everyone was going to love me. If they didn’t love me, Mom said to send them her way for a good talking to. I couldn’t stop laughing.
My mom dropped me off at the school gates about five minutes before the bell. A little blonde (金发的) girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving (招手) at me. She ran over and told me her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home together! It went so quickly. Our teacher told us that tomorrow we would really start learning and developing new skills.
I cannot wait until tomorrow and feel as though I am really going to enjoy my time at my new school I only hope that my new friends feel the same way too.

When you think of the most innovative (创新的) organisations, chances are that your mind will immediately go to Apple, Google, or perhaps OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT that is leading the AI revolution. But there is one other organisation doing exceptional work: Transport for London (TfL), a tube constantly testing out new technologies for London's transportation experience.
Willesden Green, a suburban station in North West London was just transformed into a“smart”station. What TfL did was take the CCTV (闭路电视) cameras and plug them into an AI image recognition system — which turned what previously had been ordinary video recordings into intelligent cameras, capable of identifying what was happening inside the station.
TfL is at the cutting edge and significantly eased the workload of Tube staff. For example, the system detected fallen passengers, warning staff via iPads to assist them. It also spotted people standing too close to the platform edge, reminding staff of potential danger. For irresponsible behavior, staff could make announcements. The cameras also identified wheelchair users and those waiting too long, allowing staff to offer assistance. TfL's forward-thinking approach in embracing technology is praiseworthy, improving public safety and providing a more smooth travel experience in London.
The highlight of this system is its ability to detect unwanted behavior. The AI cameras are designed to identify potential threats like knives, guns, and ticket barrier violators(违反者). However, I'm particularly impressed with how it recognizes “aggressive behavior”. This is hard to do, because describing to a computer what that looks like is tricky. Instead, TfL programmed the system to warn staff if anyone in the station raises both of their arms at the same time, as this is a gesture often connected with threatening behavior.
However, it isn't without controversy (争议) — it does cause uncomfortableness from a civil liberties. The problem with AI identifying images means that it could just as easily spot flags or political symbols, for example. And you can imagine how it could be used to closely monitor staff in an unpleasant way.
8. Why are Apple, Google, and OpenAI mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To compare their strengths. B. To stress the tube's innovation.
C. To show the popularity of the tube. D. To share the travel experience.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. How popular AI is becoming in Tfl. B. What AI does to detect passengers in Tfl.
C. How AI reduces work burden in Tfl. D. Why AI is influencing TIL so much.
10. What does the underlined word “tricky” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Challenging. B. Easy. C. Unachievable. D. Perfect.
11. What is the best title of the passage
A. Is it worthy to apply AI to TfL B. AI does more good than harm.
C. TIL is becoming safer and safer. D. TЛL is smarter with AI.
D
In an effort to help out important insects like bees and butterflies, bus stops across the United Kingdom (UK) are getting living roofs. Small gardens on bus shelter roofs are being planted with flowers chosen to help support the struggling insects. The gardens provide much-needed islands of nature in a man-made environment of a city.
Humans count on bees and other “pollinators (授粉者)” like butterflies to help grow plants, such as flowers and trees. But with humans taking over more and more land for cities, roads and farms, more natural areas have disappeared. The Wildlife Trusts, a group which works to protect wildlife in the UK, says that 97% of England’s wildflower fields have been lost since World War II and the insect numbers there have dropped by 50% since 1970. Bee bus stops are a small step toward supporting these important insects.
The advertising company Clear Channel is working with The Wildlife Trusts and city governments to set up bee bus stops in cities across the UK. Bee bus stops are like ordinary bus shelters, but small gardens have been added to the roofs. The gardens are filled with flowers and plants chosen to attract bees and butterflies. The company plans to set up 1,000 bee bus stops in the UK.
Clear Channel already has bee bus stop programs in several countries in Europe. In the Netherlands, the city of Utrecht has 300 bee bus stops. Research shows that these bus stops—along with many other steps taken to support pollinators—may be helping. After decades of dropping numbers, bee populations in the Netherlands seem to have become more stable over the last few years.
The little gardens can also help to slightly lower city temperatures. Even though the bus shelter gardens are small, together they add up to a much larger area. Thirzah McSherry, who works for The Wildlife Trusts, says, “We’re living through a nature and climate crisis and we need to use every tool we’ve got to deal with it.”
12. Why are bee bus stop gardens being built in the UK
A. To beautify the city. B. To improve urban farming.
C. To solve the environmental pollution. D. To provide shelters for pollinating insects.
13. What leads to the insect numbers dropping sharply in England
A. Losses of forests. B. Climate changes.
C. Human activities. D. Natural disasters.
14. How does the author prove the effect of the bee bus stop programs
A. By analyzing the data. B. By making a comparison.
C. By showing similar examples. D. By presenting its bright future.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. The urban environment is getting worse.
B. The United Kingdom is building bee bus stops.
C. City should build larger gardens for the insects.
D. The bee bus stop is the best way to save the city.

47. 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、
I had always prided myself on my sharp tongue and brilliant response whether in class debates or casual arguments. Thus, when I was selected to represent the school in the national debate series, I was naturally extremely confident of myself.
All the members in my team were good speakers. We had an experienced teacher who trained us well. But I was undoubtedly the most outstanding speaker. In each of the rounds that I debated in, all the judges selected me as the best one. This meant that my confidence was the highest by the time we found ourselves with one week to train before the finals. I had every reason to believe that I would be voted the best speaker for the debate series.
I began to be self-important about the whole business and started behaving that way with my team-mates. I would laugh at Eton’s poor debating style. I would complain of Vivian’s slow response. I saw myself as the natural debater who would be disappointed by their bad performance.
As the finals drew near, I became more and more dissatisfied with my team. I began missing practices. My teacher was worried. My teammates were panicked. However, they had no choice but to rely on me to win the finals. Even if they would love to remove me from the team they could not because there was no replacement good enough.
The day of the finals finally came. I was very excited that I was able to finally show off my debating skills. Everyone was expecting my performance.They knew that I was praised to be the one most likely to win the best speaker for the debate series.
