Then she put it down disappointedly after seeing the price. Letting out a sigh, she walked away,
her eyes still lingering on it. I could tell how much she loved it but I knew she wouldn’t buy.
Determined to give her a surprise, I waited until she was out of sight and quickly made the purchase.
My heart beat fast as I thought about what a surprise this would be on Christmas morning. With the
figurine in my bag, I went home with my family.

I placed it under the tree and settled in to wait for Christmas morning. The day finally came.
My siblings and I tore into the treats and treasures our parents had lovingly put inside stockings and
brightly wrapped packages. Then we began presenting gifts to parents. When my mom unwrapped
my gift, she recognized the figurine instantly, and her face lit up with surprise and joy. She turned to
me and hugged me tightly with tears in her eyes. Seeing her happy made me realize the joy of
giving.

W: Okay, that’s a newspaper, a coffee, and a chocolate bar… 8.30 please.
M: Thanks! Do you happen to know what time the Liverpool train arrives
W: I don’t, sorry. But if you go out onto the platform, there’s a TV screen on the wall… that should
tell you.
Text 2
W:What do you think of this design
M: Hmm… I’m not sure. I really want flowery wallpaper in our room. It reminds me of visits to my
grandma’s house when I was a kid.
Text 3
M: Should we take a picnic with us today
W: You can if you want. I’ll probably just grab some lunch from a food truck, or something.
M: Okay, I’ll do the same. Sorry, it’s been so long since I went to a music festival, I’ve forgotten
how it’s done!
Text 4
M: How can I help
W: Hi. I settled my electric bill earlier, but I’ve been having problems with my internet banking
service recently. I just want to make sure it’s arrived.
M: Sure, let me check that for you. Do you have your account number
Text 5
M: It’s said that learning a new language is related to better brain health in old age.

W: I know. I saw some fog hanging over the forest yesterday morning, and immediately panicked,
thinking it was smoke!
M: Well, it’s good you’re paying attention. But don’t worry too much. We’re much better prepared
this year. I’ve already removed all the dead trees around our property.
W: True. Plus, the bag is packed if we need to go to your parents’ place in a hurry. Should we
explain our emergency plans to the kids
M: Yeah, they’re old enough to understand now. Let’s talk to them on Saturday.

W: Hi, Danny. It’s me! I’m just calling to say I made it safely to London.

W: Well, where’s your dad
M: In the kitchen, getting snacks.
W: Okay. I’ll talk to him in a minute. How’s your sister doing She seemed upset when I left.
M: She’s okay. I think she just misses you.
W: I miss you all, too. But I’ll be home very soon. This conference only lasts two days. Listen…
Have you decided which colleges you want to visit over the summer

M: Oh, good! So, how are you managing the children’s school holidays
W: It’s not easy. Particularly now I work from home.
M: I know what you mean! Alex is always saying “I’m bored!” I don’t understand it. When I was
his age, I could always think of something to do. I was always out playing football or riding my
bike…
W: Personally, I spent every spare moment at the library with my nose in a book!
M: Kids today seem to have no imagination.
W: I’m not surprised. They’re always watching TV or playing computer games.
M: I don’t know…We had all those things when we were young.
W: Sure. But it wasn’t available to us all day, every day. Plus, we watched proper programs that
required us to concentrate. Now, it’s one 20-second video after another.
M: Yeah, they’re addictive… like candy for your brain!

W: Oh, gosh… Please excuse the mess! I lost track of time last night and went to bed without
tidying up.
M: No problem. But what on earth is all this stuff for
W: Yeah! I make ronghua. Chinese silk flowers. Sometimes I like to add little lights to them.
M: Wow, that’s so cool!
W: Right now, I’m working on a flower arrangement for my sister and future brother-in-law. Want
to see
M: Sure! Oh…that’s amazing!
W: Thanks. Their wedding is in 5 weeks, and I still have another 7 flowers to make!
M: How long does it take to make one flower
W: Usually about 8 hours. There are so many steps! You have to choose your colors, separate the
silk, brush it smooth… all before you even get to building the flower! But the most fun part, in
my opinion, is to roll the flowers.
M: Wow! I’d love to try this. But it doesn’t seem “beginner-friendly”!
W: Oh, anyone could learn! You just start with baby steps. Want to try making a leaf
M: Okay! Maybe I could make one for my mom’s birthday.

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。
Braille, the tactile reading system blind people can use to read text, is in more places than you may first realize, which works by using six tactile dots （触点） set in two columns and three rows, known as cells. Each raised dot relates to a letter, a number or a mark, and each letter has its own pattern of dots. There are two ways in which Braille can be read, either as individual letters or predetermined phrases or grouped letters. According to the WHO, 36 million people globally are blind. However, fewer and fewer people are using Braille to read, due to audio alternatives. The Night Writer
Though Braille bears the name of a man remembered for its creation, it was another who first used raised dots for writing. Back in the early 1800s, French officer Charles Barbier invented the technique-night writing, where a 12-dot cell was employed. Barbier later lectured on his system at the Royal Institute for Blind Youths in Paris, which a 12-year-old student named Louis Braille eventually improved upon.
How Blind People Read Digital Text
Though traditional Braille is still used by many in the visually challenged community, the digital revolution （革命） has taken it from paper to plastic. Several companies have created electronic Braille readers to turn digital information into Braille. These devices translate digital text and present it as Braille through a series of cells comprised of changing plastic pins （针） to copy tactile dots.
21. What is a cell in Braille
A. It refers to a reading system. B. It represents a tactile dot in text.
C. It is a predetermined phrase. D. It is a set of 6 dots in a 2×3 pattern.

23. In which of the following magazines can we find the article

When I was eleven, my mom and dad died. I was left caring for my younger brother and felt at a loss. We moved in with my grandparents in Nandi. Though I wanted an education, they insisted that education didn’t matter for girls.
So I’d wake up in the mornings, sweep the house, wash the dishes, cook breakfast, and run to school. Despite all this, I was admitted to one of Kenya’s top high schools elsewhere. However, poverty did not allow me to stay in school. I was constantly sent home for school fees. That was when I met Akili Dada, a nonprofit supporting girls’ education. They offered me a scholarship, which changed my life and gave me a new focus in life. They not only focused on educating me, but also building me as a person. For the first time I felt empowered to focus on my schooling and appreciate the person I was. I went from the bottom of the class to being a top student and finished high school with an A average.
In 2015, I received a MasterCard scholarship to study Management Information Systems at Ashesi University in Ghana.This course,which combines business and computer science, is a step toward my dream of earning a PhD and working for the United Nations （UN）.
When I was growing up in Nandi, the village had no lawyers or doctors. To fill the gap, I created a program called Life Lifters, which aims to empower the youth to be innovative, create change, and see value in education.
I am the first generation in my village to study abroad and I hope to inspire the youth in my area to focus on education and create wealth for themselves. I firmly believe in the power of education for girls. If girls understand their rights and work for them, then we can grow a society where the same value is placed on both male and female. It shouldn’t matter whether you’re a boy or a girl-you are a human being, which is what Akili Dada taught me. In the end I wish to be a resource to women, and the world in general.
24. Why did the author feel at a loss at eleven
A. The loss of parents led to an uncertain future.
B. She and her brother were sent away from home.
C. Her grandparents could hardly support her living.
D. She had to move to another village for schooling.

A. By restoring her dignity. B. By introducing her to the UN.

A. To select potential young talents for UN jobs.

C. To inspire awareness of education in local youth.
D. To make new technology available in rural areas.

If a patient knew their doctor was going to give them bad information during an upcoming appointment, they'd cancel immediately. Generative AI models such as ChatGPT, however, frequently make stuff up to cheat our eyes. So why would anyone want to use an AI for medical purposes
Here’s the optimistic scenario （设想）:not only do AI tools get trained on medical literature, but they also scan patient records and smart watch data. Then, they produce personalized tips to each user, accurate enough to be helpful. The dystopian version: governments, insurance companies, and the medical enterprises push immature AI to cut costs, leaving patients desperate for medical care from clinicians. Right now, it's easy to imagine things going wrong, especially because AI has already been accused of offering harmful advice online.
"ChatGPT and other large language models are very confident, they express themselves clearly, and they're very often wrong,"says Mark Dredze, a professor at Johns Hopkins University. Still, he is optimistic. ChatGPT already gives advice that's comparable to the recommendations physicians offer online, his newly published research has found. And future generative models might complement（完善）trips to the doctor, rather than replacing consults entirely. They could help explain treatments and conditions, such as preventing misunderstandings due to language barriers. In a more promising future, AI systems would combine multiple data sources. Using photos, patient records, information from wearable sensors, and more, they could deliver good care anywhere to anyone.
As medical AI develops, the industry must keep growing amounts of patient data secure. But many hospitals already sell sensitive patient data to tech companies. Someone suggests that that information be added to national data sets to improve medical AI models. Additionally, the government could review the accuracy of AI tools used by hospitals and medical groups and cut off valuable funding for substandard software. Doctors shouldn't just be handed AI tools, either, they should receive extensive training on how to use them.

It's easy to see how Al companies might trick organizations and patients into signing up for services that can't be trusted. Lawmakers, heal the are providers and tech companies need to move ahead with caution（谨慎）. Lives depend on it.
28. What does the underlined word "dystopian"in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Uplifting. B. Practical. C. Advanced. D. Discouraging.
29. What might be the current view on Al in medical fields
A. It can provide accurate suggestions. B. AI will adapt and replace doctors.
C. Patients are eager for AI treatment. D. There is still a long way for AI to go.
30. According to Mark Dredze, what can AI possibly help do
A. Prevent illnesses. B. Improve communication.
C. Assess doctors. D. Check recommendations.
31. Which of the following statements might the author agree with
A. The development of AI is too fast for human control.
B. It is highly irresponsible to introduce AI to medicine.
C. Promoting AI-aid medical checkups is as easy as pie.
D. The application of AI to medicine is worth joint efforts.

I am somewhat a hard-working woman and don't like to fail a test. Thus, you can imagine my horror when a friend and I took an online personality test to determine levels of optimism-and I’m sadder than Eeyore, a pessimistic cartoon figure!
I had assumed that, as an optimist like Pooh, another cartoon figure, I saw the best in people, happier than pessimists. There was no reason to suggest this was true, but so deeply did I believe it that I felt ashamed of my test. I tried to justify the result to my friend: it was a bad week; the weather was depressing; I wasn't a pessimist; I was a realist. My poor pessimistic self kept explaining until my friend put me out of my pain. Pessimism and optimism are just a state of being and we can move between the two.
Apparently, there are three things to think about here. First, how personally do you take things If a friend is in a bad mood, do you assume it is to do with you, or that they're just a bit upset that day Optimists favour the latter and know they're not responsible for everything all around. Second, how pervasive （遍布的） is a feeling for you If something goes wrong, do you see it as a single incident, or a sign that more bad luck will follow Eeyores see a missed morning alarm as a dark sign for the entire day. Finally, how permanent do you think a situation is Poohs believe in the saying, "This too shall pass," but Beyores believe a bad situation will stay that way forever.
I started to see how my current view of the world was making me a pessimist. I know I can take things personally but,when I took the test,I was burnt out at work and feeling like I was letting everyone down.
So, how to change I started small-when I was feeling unhappy in a situation, I’d ask myself, "How would a Pooh see this " 1 repeated the saying and chose to believe in hope, because that’s what optimists do.

32. What was the author's response to the test result
A. She took it seriously. B. She treated it as a joke.
C. She chose to ignore it. D. She admitted its accuracy.
33. What might be a proper understanding of optimism and pessimism
A. Optimism causes more harm than pessimism.
B. Optimism and pessimism are defined by tests.
C. Both of them are just a matter of personal choice.
D. They are fixed and normally not interchangeable.
34. What might Poohs think after a possible traffic accident

Is the glass half full or half empty As the saying teaches us, it’s about your view. But if you find yourself viewing the glass as half-empty more often than not, you may be experiencing a scarcity mindset （稀缺心态）. 36
The term was originally coined to describe a specific type of anxiety experienced by people whose incomes are below the government poverty line. 37 It's often applied to other parts of life, too. Who hasn't stayed up all night wondering what could be improved in their life if they had A, B or C
38 The root cause could be a life-changing event that makes you focus on what you’ve
lost or are missing. This might be losing a job, climbing credit card bills or ending a relationship.
Of course, it’s easier said than done to get out of this kind of mindset. You can take baby steps toward it. The first step is accepting that it’ll be impossible to get rid of these thoughts overnight. When negative thoughts appear, you may tell yourself: 39 But psychologists recommend an acceptance mindset. Tell yourself this instead: I do feel this way, but this doesn't have to totally preoccupy me.
What’s more, surround yourself with supportive, positive people. Sometimes, being around the people constantly reminding you of what you don't have can bring out the negative thoughts running around in your mind. 40 And find new friends that help empower your positive thoughts instead of your negative ones. If your negative thoughts are really starting to get to you, it may be good to seek a therapist（治疗师） who can help you.

When I was 13, I had an awareness that moms shoulder a lot of responsibility without a lot of reward. My mom was no exception. She brought us to Union Station to help us buy Christmas presents for each other-and for her. Because of Mom, my siblings（兄弟姐妹） and I would get to experience the joy of giving. I wanted to find her something special.
The pleasant smell of chocolate reached my nose and I wanted to stay. Normally, when we came here, the candy makers were what I wanted to see most, but today I had a mission. So, we walked on. We explored many stores selling jewelry, purses, toys, clothing and treats, but nothing caught my eye. I just wanted something unique for Mom. I didn't know what, but I knew I would recognize it when I saw it. Meanwhile, I wondered even though she promised to not look while we went shopping, how would whatever I picked be a surprise
All of a sudden, there it was, the perfect gift for her! On one of the stands sat a figurine （小塑像）ofa lion and lamb lying down together. It would go well with a drawing of a similar scene Mom had hung on the wall. I had heard her talk about how long she had owned the picture and who had drawn it for her. I knew it was very special.
I turned the figurine over to check the price and couldn’t believe my eyes. I could afford it! Mom didn't know it, but I had put some extra money in my pocket from babysitting the neighbor kids, so I had more money than what she had given me. But she was standing nearby. No way could I make the purchase without her knowing. A moment later, she noticed the very same figurine. I watched her eyes light up. She picked it up and turned it over.
