阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
What is a GPA
A GPA, or Grade Point Average, typically ranging from one to four, is a number reflecting your course performance on average. It’s used by universities to determine whether students meet academic standards and by students to enhance job prospects or secure admission into post-graduate programs.
How is a GPA calculated
● Determine the letter grade and the number of credit hours for each course you take in a term;
● Translate the letter grade to grade points using your school’s grading system;
● Multiply the grade points by the credit hours for that course;
● Add up all the credit hours for the courses;
● Divide the total number of the total points by the total credit hours and you get the GPA.
Example: Academic Transcript of Jane Smith Winter 2023
Courses Letter Grade Grade points Credit hours Total points GPA
Creative Writing A+ 4.0 3 12 -
Psychology A- 3.7 3 11.1 -
History B+ 3.3 3 9.9 -
Computer Science F 0.0 2 0 -
Total - - 11 33
What are the consequences of failing college courses
● Every failing grade (F) significantly impacts your GPA for that academic year, limiting clubs, organizations and program choices, as competitive programs require top GPAs.
● Most financial aid programs require a specific GPA. A sharp drop in GPA due to several course failures may lead to withdrawal from financial aid programs, unless you retake the courses and pass.
● For college athletes on sports scholarships, failing courses repeatedly can lead to losing scholarships and team sports.
● Failing multiple courses can result in school removal and affect future applications.
21. Where is this text probably taken from
A. An academic course guide. B. A campus job fair poster.
C. A graduate application form. D. An athletic team schedule.
22. What is Jane Smith’s GPA this term
A. 3.3. B.3.0. C. 2.8. D. 1.0.
23. What would be a result if you get one F in college
A. School removal. B. Loss of financial aid.
C. Choice limitation. D. Disqualification in sports.
B
Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape can be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation.
Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way.
Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment. One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz （石英） rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.
24. How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest
A. By teaming up with other photographers. B. By studying the geographical conditions.
C. By creating settings in the corn fields. D. By shooting in the countryside or state parks.
25. What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author
A. Adventurous spirit. B. Distinctive styles.
C. Proper time management. D. Good shooting techniques.
26. What can we infer from the author’s trip with friends to Devil’s Lake
A. They had problems with their equipment. B. They went crazy with the purple quartz rock.
C. They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset. D. They reached the shooting spot later than expected.
27. How does the author find his photos taken at Devil’s Lake
A. Amusing. B. Satisfying. C. Encouraging. D. Comforting.
C
A study conducted by Cornell University examined how the use of AI in conversations impacts the way people express themselves and view each other.
The researchers have found people have more efficient conversations, use more positive language and perceive each other more positively when using an AI-enabled chat tool.
However, the group also found that when participants think their partner is using more AI-suggested responses, they consider that partner as less cooperative.
“I was surprised to find people tend to evaluate you more negatively simply because they suspect you’re using AI to help compose text, regardless of whether you actually are,” said Jess Hohenstein, the lead researcher. “This illustrates the continuous overall doubt that people seem to have around AI.”
For their first experiment, participants were asked to talk about a policy issue and assigned to one of three conditions: both participants can use smart replies; only one participant can use smart replies; or neither participant can use smart replies. Researchers found that using smart replies increased communication efficiency, positive emotional language and positive evaluations by communication partners. On average, smart replies accounted for 14.3% of sent messages.
But participants whose partners suspected of responding with smart replies were evaluated more negatively than those who were thought to have typed their own responses, consistent with common assumptions about the negative implications of AI.
“While AI might be able to help you write,” Hohenstein said, “it’s altering your language in ways you might not expect, especially by making you sound more positive. This suggests that by using text-generating AI, you’re giving up some of your own personal voice.”
Malte Jung, an associate professor, said, “What we observe in this study is the impact that AI has on social dynamics and some of the unintended consequences that could result from integrating AI in social contexts. This suggests that whoever controls the algorithm （算法） may have influence on people’s interactions, language and insights into each other.”
28. How do the researchers draw their conclusion
A. By analyzing figures. B. By making use of AI.
C. By conducting experiments. D. By completing questionnaires.
29. Which statement does Hohenstein agree with
A. AI always expresses in ways you expect.
B. Algorithm will never influence people’s insights.
C. Trust can be affected by using AI in conversation.
D. You will regain your voice by using AI in conversation.
30. How will a person feel about suspecting his partner’s using smart replies
A. Nervous. B. Uncomfortable. C. Excited. D. Puzzled.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. Methods of using AI in conversations. B. Efficiency of using AI in conversations.
C. Convenience of using AI in conversations. D. Impacts of using AI in conversations.
D
A theme at this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Switzerland was the perceived need to “speed up breakthroughs in research and technology.” Some of this framing was motivated by the climate emergency, some by the opportunities and challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence. Yet in various conversations, it seemed to be taken for granted that to address the world’s problems,scientific research needs to move faster. The WEF mindset is similar to the Silicon Valley dictate—to move fast and break things. But what if the thing being broken is science Or public trust
The WEF meeting took place just two weeks after Harvard University President Claudine Gay stepped down after complaints were made about her political science scholarship. In response, Gay requested corrections to several of her papers. Although it may be impossible to determine just how widespread such problems really are, it’s hard to imagine that the scene of high-profile scholars correcting and retracting papers has not had a negative impact on public trust in science and perhaps in experts broadly.
In recent years we’ve seen important papers, written by outstanding scientists and published in celebrated journals, retracted because of questionable data or methods, hence a question: Are scholars at supercompetitive places such as Harvard and Stanford rushing to publish rather than taking the time to do their work right
It’s impossible to answer this question scientifically because there’s no scientific definition of what constitutes “rushing”. But there’s little doubt that we live in a culture where academics at leading universities are under tremendous pressure to produce results—and a lot of them—quickly.
The problem is not unique to the US. In Europe, formal research assessments—which are used to allocate （分配） future funding—have for years judged academic departments largely on the quantity of their output. A recent reform urging an emphasis on quality over quantity allowed that the existing system had created “counterincentives.”
Good science takes time. More than 50 years elapsed between the 1543 publication of Copernicus’s On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres. And it took just about half a century for geologists and geophysicists to accept geophysicist Alfred Wegener’s idea of continental drift.
There’s plenty of circumstantial evidence that scientists and other scholars are pushing results out far faster than they used to. Consider the sheer volume of academic papers being published these days. One recent study put the number at more than seven million a year, compared with fewer than a million as recently as 1980. Some of this growth is driven by more scientists and more co-authorship of papers, but the numbers also suggest that the research world has prioritized quantity over quality. Researchers may need to slow down if we are to produce knowledge worthy of trust.
32. WEF meeting in Switzerland advocated that ________.
A. researchers need to achieve breakthroughs more rapidly
B. climate emergency and AI push scientific research hard
C. WEF and Silicon Valley reach an agreement to move fast
D. public trust in science is not supposed to be easily broken
33. Which of the following examples fails to prove that good science takes time
A. Gay’s correction and retraction of papers. B. Publication of Copernicus’s theory.
C. High-profile scholars’ tremendous output. D. Acceptance of the idea of continental drift.
34. The underlined word “counterincentives” in paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. measures to increase quantities of output B. discouragements of high quality papers
C. rewards for leading universities’ research D. contradictory motives for future funding
35. What is a suitable title for the text
A. WEF Coincides with Silicon Valley B. Collapse of Public Trust
C. Dilemma between Quantity and Quality D. Trouble in the Fast Lane

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。
When I was a kid, I took traveling with my parents for granted. Sure, they paid for everything. But they were basically no different from teachers taking us to a field trip. 36 . For example, they took us to Denali National Park instead of Disney World. And we sometimes stayed at hotels without pools. And they never let us buy anything from the SkyMall catalog （目录）.
Of course, some 20 years later, I consider traveling with my parents, now both in their 60s, to be the utmost privilege. 37 . Neither am I, and every day that passes brings us closer to our last. Fortunately, since graduating college, I’ve been able to cover some serious ground with each of them.
Together my dad and I have looked for the Loch Ness monster in Scotland, photographed wildlife in Grand Teton National Park, and most recently, survived the famously dangerous Drake Passage. Meanwhile, my mom and I have stayed at a $9/night treehouse hostel in Mexico, eaten at a Michelin-starred vegetarian restaurant in Vienna, and most recently, road-tripped through three states.
38 . After all, even if you’re the apple that fell right under the tree, traveling with the people who raised you isn’t always easy. “ 39 ,” says Alexis Sherry, a New Jersey-based travel agent. Still, Sherry is seeing an increasing number of clients requesting vacations for more than one generation. They can be difficult to plan, but so far she says she’s had no “disasters,” and often, her clients come back closer than ever.
“Our parents are our earliest attachment bonds,” says Katie d’Autremont, a licensed professional adviser based in Bozeman, Montana. “It can be healing and fun to rekindle that bond in our adult years and as our adult selves.” She sees traveling together as the perfect opportunity for getting to know each other for who we are now, with “now” being the key word. 40 .
A. Those memories are golden
B. I know they’re no longer unbeatable
C. After all, as humans, we’re always evolving
D. That’s not to say that all of our trips have been without flaws
E. To my brothers and me, they seemed to be bent on limiting our fun
F. Planning a vacation can be considerably tricky when it involves demanding parents
G. There are always challenges as we are dealing with different physical abilities and interests

In our weekly staff meeting, our editor Ashley was not pleased with the quality of our reporting. “Our readership is way down. We need better stories for this Thursday’s school newspaper. Does anybody have any ideas ” she said.
I handed her my article about our basketball team beating Deerfield High School the previous night by one point. “Sports stories are fun,” she said, “but not good enough for the front page. We need something to really get people’s attention.”
After our meeting, we left the newsroom together and heard someone screaming, “Perry is missing!” Perry was a big red parrot and had been our school mascot （吉祥物） for ten years. He played an important role in students’ lives, both in and out of class. He had also been a constant presence at school events, inspiring a sense of unity among students.
Everyone gathered around Perry’s empty cage, heartbroken. Suddenly, a student from the crowd came over and showed me a photo. “You’re a reporter for the school paper, right I happened to take this yesterday,” he said. In the photo was a Deerfield High School basketball player with something large hidden under his shirt around the size of a parrot.
“He must have stolen Perry to get back at us for winning the game!” Ashley cried. We hurried back to the newsroom, agreeing to run the photo on the front page with the headline “Deerfield Stole Perry.” “This is just the story we need. Everyone will read it,” Ashley said confidently.
After she left, I took a closer look at the photo. The clock in the background read 4:15 pm, but our game against Deerfield hadn’t started until 4:30 pm. Why would the boy have taken Perry before we even played An uneasy feeling came over me that we might have falsely accused someone.
I went to Perry’s usual caretaker to ask if he knew Perry was missing. “He’s not missing. He’s retired. He’s ready for some quieter days,” he said. Learning the truth, I immediately told Ashley and suggested writing a story to say goodbye to Perry.
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。
To my surprise, Ashley insisted on reporting the “Deerfield Steals Perry” story.
On Thursday, the paper came out with the headline “Bye-Bye, Perry” on the front page.

M: What’s the matter with you You look really stressed out! (14)
W:I’m fine. I’m just concentrating. (14) (16)
M: On what That doesn’t look like homework.
W: No, I’ve already finished all the reading I was given to do this weekend. Mom and Dad said I could play on the computer for a bit, as a reward. (15) (16)
M: Lucky you!I’ve still got my science homework to finish before they’ll allow me to relax. (15) What’s the game
W: It’s a mystery game. (16) The story is really cool, actually. You play as a detective, and you have to figure out who killed a rich factory owner.
M: Wow, that sounds like fun!
W: It is, but it’s also really challenging. You have to question people and watch their responses to decide whether they’re telling the truth or not.
M: You mean like their body language or stuff like that
W: That’s right. It’s not easy! And your choices can affect the story, so I want to get it right.
M: Who are you interviewing at the moment
W: Oh, that’s the factory owner’s wife. But I don’t think she did it. At the moment, my best guess is that the killer is the factory owner’s business partner.
M: Don’t tell me! I’d quite like to play it myself. But right now, I should probably get on with my physics project. (17)

When I was very little, my father found a new job as a science teacher in a town close to where he had grown up. It was a great opportunity, so my family moved back to my father’s hometown. (18) The plan was to stay with my dad’s father for a few months until we found our own house. However, we soon found that“three generations under one roof” suited us well. Granddad was able to help my parents keep us busy, (19) while he enjoyed the company. He also needed some help around the house, as he was getting older. Like many people in his generation, he was very careful with money and resources. He would clean the house with cut-up old clothes. He loved his vegetable garden and carefully preserved what he grew. Having worked at a radio factory for most of his life, (19) he was great at building and fixing things. He made a beautiful doll’s house for my sister and a toy shop for me. (20) My father told me that, when he was a boy, Granddad had once built a small roller coaster in the garden for him and his two younger brothers! Granddad was a creative, gentle, and unique man, (20) and I feel so lucky and grateful to have spent that time with him.

What is a GPA
A GPA, or Grade Point Average, typically ranging from one to four, is a number reflecting your course performance on average. It’s used by universities to determine whether students meet academic standards and by students to enhance job prospects or secure admission into post-graduate programs.
How is a GPA calculated
● Determine the letter grade and the number of credit hours for each course you take in a term;
● Translate the letter grade to grade points using your school’s grading system;
● Multiply the grade points by the credit hours for that course;
● Add up all the credit hours for the courses;
● Divide the total number of the total points by the total credit hours and you get the GPA.
Example: Academic Transcript of Jane Smith Winter 2023
Courses Letter Grade Grade points Credit hours Total points GPA
Creative Writing A+ 4.0 3 12 -
Psychology A- 3.7 3 11.1 -
History B+ 3.3 3 9.9 -
Computer Science F 0.0 2 0 -
Total - - 11 33
What are the consequences of failing college courses
● Every failing grade (F) significantly impacts your GPA for that academic year, limiting clubs, organizations and program choices, as competitive programs require top GPAs.
● Most financial aid programs require a specific GPA. A sharp drop in GPA due to several course failures may lead to withdrawal from financial aid programs, unless you retake the courses and pass.
● For college athletes on sports scholarships, failing courses repeatedly can lead to losing scholarships and team sports.
● Failing multiple courses can result in school removal and affect future applications.
21. Where is this text probably taken from
A. An academic course guide. B. A campus job fair poster.
C. A graduate application form. D. An athletic team schedule.
22. What is Jane Smith’s GPA this term
A. 3.3. B.3.0. C. 2.8. D. 1.0.
23. What would be a result if you get one F in college
A. School removal. B. Loss of financial aid.
C. Choice limitation. D. Disqualification in sports.

Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape can be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation.
Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way.
Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment. One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz （石英） rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.
24. How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest
A. By teaming up with other photographers. B. By studying the geographical conditions.
C. By creating settings in the corn fields. D. By shooting in the countryside or state parks.
25. What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author
A. Adventurous spirit. B. Distinctive styles.
C. Proper time management. D. Good shooting techniques.
26. What can we infer from the author’s trip with friends to Devil’s Lake
A. They had problems with their equipment. B. They went crazy with the purple quartz rock.
C. They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset. D. They reached the shooting spot later than expected.
27. How does the author find his photos taken at Devil’s Lake
A. Amusing. B. Satisfying. C. Encouraging. D. Comforting.
C
A study conducted by Cornell University examined how the use of AI in conversations impacts the way people express themselves and view each other.
The researchers have found people have more efficient conversations, use more positive language and perceive each other more positively when using an AI-enabled chat tool.
However, the group also found that when participants think their partner is using more AI-suggested responses, they consider that partner as less cooperative.
“I was surprised to find people tend to evaluate you more negatively simply because they suspect you’re using AI to help compose text, regardless of whether you actually are,” said Jess Hohenstein, the lead researcher. “This illustrates the continuous overall doubt that people seem to have around AI.”
For their first experiment, participants were asked to talk about a policy issue and assigned to one of three conditions: both participants can use smart replies; only one participant can use smart replies; or neither participant can use smart replies. Researchers found that using smart replies increased communication efficiency, positive emotional language and positive evaluations by communication partners. On average, smart replies accounted for 14.3% of sent messages.
But participants whose partners suspected of responding with smart replies were evaluated more negatively than those who were thought to have typed their own responses, consistent with common assumptions about the negative implications of AI.
“While AI might be able to help you write,” Hohenstein said, “it’s altering your language in ways you might not expect, especially by making you sound more positive. This suggests that by using text-generating AI, you’re giving up some of your own personal voice.”
Malte Jung, an associate professor, said, “What we observe in this study is the impact that AI has on social dynamics and some of the unintended consequences that could result from integrating AI in social contexts. This suggests that whoever controls the algorithm （算法） may have influence on people’s interactions, language and insights into each other.”
28. How do the researchers draw their conclusion
A. By analyzing figures. B. By making use of AI.
C. By conducting experiments. D. By completing questionnaires.
29. Which statement does Hohenstein agree with
A. AI always expresses in ways you expect.
B. Algorithm will never influence people’s insights.
C. Trust can be affected by using AI in conversation.
D. You will regain your voice by using AI in conversation.
30. How will a person feel about suspecting his partner’s using smart replies
A. Nervous. B. Uncomfortable. C. Excited. D. Puzzled.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. Methods of using AI in conversations. B. Efficiency of using AI in conversations.
C. Convenience of using AI in conversations. D. Impacts of using AI in conversations.
D
A theme at this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Switzerland was the perceived need to “speed up breakthroughs in research and technology.” Some of this framing was motivated by the climate emergency, some by the opportunities and challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence. Yet in various conversations, it seemed to be taken for granted that to address the world’s problems,scientific research needs to move faster. The WEF mindset is similar to the Silicon Valley dictate—to move fast and break things. But what if the thing being broken is science Or public trust
The WEF meeting took place just two weeks after Harvard University President Claudine Gay stepped down after complaints were made about her political science scholarship. In response, Gay requested corrections to several of her papers. Although it may be impossible to determine just how widespread such problems really are, it’s hard to imagine that the scene of high-profile scholars correcting and retracting papers has not had a negative impact on public trust in science and perhaps in experts broadly.
In recent years we’ve seen important papers, written by outstanding scientists and published in celebrated journals, retracted because of questionable data or methods, hence a question: Are scholars at supercompetitive places such as Harvard and Stanford rushing to publish rather than taking the time to do their work right
It’s impossible to answer this question scientifically because there’s no scientific definition of what constitutes “rushing”. But there’s little doubt that we live in a culture where academics at leading universities are under tremendous pressure to produce results—and a lot of them—quickly.
The problem is not unique to the US. In Europe, formal research assessments—which are used to allocate （分配） future funding—have for years judged academic departments largely on the quantity of their output. A recent reform urging an emphasis on quality over quantity allowed that the existing system had created “counterincentives.”
Good science takes time. More than 50 years elapsed between the 1543 publication of Copernicus’s On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres. And it took just about half a century for geologists and geophysicists to accept geophysicist Alfred Wegener’s idea of continental drift.
There’s plenty of circumstantial evidence that scientists and other scholars are pushing results out far faster than they used to. Consider the sheer volume of academic papers being published these days. One recent study put the number at more than seven million a year, compared with fewer than a million as recently as 1980. Some of this growth is driven by more scientists and more co-authorship of papers, but the numbers also suggest that the research world has prioritized quantity over quality. Researchers may need to slow down if we are to produce knowledge worthy of trust.
32. WEF meeting in Switzerland advocated that ________.
A. researchers need to achieve breakthroughs more rapidly
B. climate emergency and AI push scientific research hard
C. WEF and Silicon Valley reach an agreement to move fast
D. public trust in science is not supposed to be easily broken
33. Which of the following examples fails to prove that good science takes time
A. Gay’s correction and retraction of papers. B. Publication of Copernicus’s theory.
C. High-profile scholars’ tremendous output. D. Acceptance of the idea of continental drift.
34. The underlined word “counterincentives” in paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. measures to increase quantities of output B. discouragements of high quality papers
C. rewards for leading universities’ research D. contradictory motives for future funding
35. What is a suitable title for the text
A. WEF Coincides with Silicon Valley B. Collapse of Public Trust
C. Dilemma between Quantity and Quality D. Trouble in the Fast Lane

When I was a kid, I took traveling with my parents for granted. Sure, they paid for everything. But they were basically no different from teachers taking us to a field trip. 36 . For example, they took us to Denali National Park instead of Disney World. And we sometimes stayed at hotels without pools. And they never let us buy anything from the SkyMall catalog （目录）.
Of course, some 20 years later, I consider traveling with my parents, now both in their 60s, to be the utmost privilege. 37 . Neither am I, and every day that passes brings us closer to our last. Fortunately, since graduating college, I’ve been able to cover some serious ground with each of them.
Together my dad and I have looked for the Loch Ness monster in Scotland, photographed wildlife in Grand Teton National Park, and most recently, survived the famously dangerous Drake Passage. Meanwhile, my mom and I have stayed at a $9/night treehouse hostel in Mexico, eaten at a Michelin-starred vegetarian restaurant in Vienna, and most recently, road-tripped through three states.
38 . After all, even if you’re the apple that fell right under the tree, traveling with the people who raised you isn’t always easy. “ 39 ,” says Alexis Sherry, a New Jersey-based travel agent. Still, Sherry is seeing an increasing number of clients requesting vacations for more than one generation. They can be difficult to plan, but so far she says she’s had no “disasters,” and often, her clients come back closer than ever.
“Our parents are our earliest attachment bonds,” says Katie d’Autremont, a licensed professional adviser based in Bozeman, Montana. “It can be healing and fun to rekindle that bond in our adult years and as our adult selves.” She sees traveling together as the perfect opportunity for getting to know each other for who we are now, with “now” being the key word. 40 .
A. Those memories are golden
B. I know they’re no longer unbeatable
C. After all, as humans, we’re always evolving
D. That’s not to say that all of our trips have been without flaws
E. To my brothers and me, they seemed to be bent on limiting our fun
F. Planning a vacation can be considerably tricky when it involves demanding parents
G. There are always challenges as we are dealing with different physical abilities and interests

Suddenly, I knew what really set me apart. It was not about being a cheerleader but a 54 sister.

In our weekly staff meeting, our editor Ashley was not pleased with the quality of our reporting. “Our readership is way down. We need better stories for this Thursday’s school newspaper. Does anybody have any ideas ” she said.
I handed her my article about our basketball team beating Deerfield High School the previous night by one point. “Sports stories are fun,” she said, “but not good enough for the front page. We need something to really get people’s attention.”
After our meeting, we left the newsroom together and heard someone screaming, “Perry is missing!” Perry was a big red parrot and had been our school mascot （吉祥物） for ten years. He played an important role in students’ lives, both in and out of class. He had also been a constant presence at school events, inspiring a sense of unity among students.
Everyone gathered around Perry’s empty cage, heartbroken. Suddenly, a student from the crowd came over and showed me a photo. “You’re a reporter for the school paper, right I happened to take this yesterday,” he said. In the photo was a Deerfield High School basketball player with something large hidden under his shirt around the size of a parrot.
“He must have stolen Perry to get back at us for winning the game!” Ashley cried. We hurried back to the newsroom, agreeing to run the photo on the front page with the headline “Deerfield Stole Perry.” “This is just the story we need. Everyone will read it,” Ashley said confidently.
After she left, I took a closer look at the photo. The clock in the background read 4:15 pm, but our game against Deerfield hadn’t started until 4:30 pm. Why would the boy have taken Perry before we even played An uneasy feeling came over me that we might have falsely accused someone.
I went to Perry’s usual caretaker to ask if he knew Perry was missing. “He’s not missing. He’s retired. He’s ready for some quieter days,” he said. Learning the truth, I immediately told Ashley and suggested writing a story to say goodbye to Perry.
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。
To my surprise, Ashley insisted on reporting the “Deerfield Steals Perry” story.
On Thursday, the paper came out with the headline “Bye-Bye, Perry” on the front page.

M: ③I’m finding it difficult to choose your Christmas present this year.
W: Well, if it’s easier to just give me money, or a gift card, that’s fine!
M: No, you said you wanted books, and I’m going to get you one. But I need to know more about what kind of novels you like. (12)
W: Well, I’ve always been a big fan of early 19th century novels, such as Frankenstein and Wuthering Heights.
M: Have you ever read Jane Eyre (12)
W: No, actually! But I’d definitely like to. (12) I’ve heard it’s a fantastic story.
M: Well then, we might have a winner! (12)
W: Ha-ha!
M: I like 19th century novels, too, but I tend to prefer later ones. They focus more on real social issues and historical events, for example those written by mile Zola or Charles Dickens.
W: Yes, the books written toward the middle and end of the century tended to be a bit darker, didn’t they
M: Definitely. Dickens is probably my favorite novelist of all time, although my favorite book has to be Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. (13)
W: Oh, that’s great!

M: What’s the matter with you You look really stressed out! (14)
W:I’m fine. I’m just concentrating. (14) (16)
M: On what That doesn’t look like homework.
W: No, I’ve already finished all the reading I was given to do this weekend. Mom and Dad said I could play on the computer for a bit, as a reward. (15) (16)
M: Lucky you!I’ve still got my science homework to finish before they’ll allow me to relax. (15) What’s the game
W: It’s a mystery game. (16) The story is really cool, actually. You play as a detective, and you have to figure out who killed a rich factory owner.
M: Wow, that sounds like fun!
W: It is, but it’s also really challenging. You have to question people and watch their responses to decide whether they’re telling the truth or not.
M: You mean like their body language or stuff like that
W: That’s right. It’s not easy! And your choices can affect the story, so I want to get it right.
M: Who are you interviewing at the moment
W: Oh, that’s the factory owner’s wife. But I don’t think she did it. At the moment, my best guess is that the killer is the factory owner’s business partner.
M: Don’t tell me! I’d quite like to play it myself. But right now, I should probably get on with my physics project. (17)

When I was very little, my father found a new job as a science teacher in a town close to where he had grown up. It was a great opportunity, so my family moved back to my father’s hometown. (18) The plan was to stay with my dad’s father for a few months until we found our own house. However, we soon found that“three generations under one roof” suited us well. Granddad was able to help my parents keep us busy, (19) while he enjoyed the company. He also needed some help around the house, as he was getting older. Like many people in his generation, he was very careful with money and resources. He would clean the house with cut-up old clothes. He loved his vegetable garden and carefully preserved what he grew. Having worked at a radio factory for most of his life, (19) he was great at building and fixing things. He made a beautiful doll’s house for my sister and a toy shop for me. (20) My father told me that, when he was a boy, Granddad had once built a small roller coaster in the garden for him and his two younger brothers! Granddad was a creative, gentle, and unique man, (20) and I feel so lucky and grateful to have spent that time with him.
