The Virgin Islands National Park is a tropical(热带的) paradise on the island of St. John, which covers more than half of the small island. It is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and the Caribbean Sea to the south, where the climate is warm all year.
The island's white sand beaches and clear blue seas are considered to be among the most beautiful in the Caribbean, gaining reputation and popularity among visitors across the world.
How the national park was formed
Laurence Rockefeller an American millionaire, businessman and was conservationist, He visited St. John in the 1950s. He quickly fell in love with the island’s clean, pure beauty. He first purchased a small resort there, Caneel Bay. He also purchased more than 2,000 hectares of the island and donated it to the government. That donation created the U.S. Virgin Islands National Park. It was officially opened as a national park on December 1,1956.
How to get to the park
The only way to reach the park is by boat. Some people arrive on their own sailboats. Others come in on large cruise ships, Visitors also arrive on water taxis from the island of St. Thomas.
What to do at the park
From the tropical hills to the blue waters, there are many things to do at the Virgin Islands National Park. Visitors enjoy fishing, camping, sailing, scuba diving, snorkeling(浮潜), and bird watching. Of all of the park's beaches, Trunk Bay Beach is said to be the most striking. Below the clear blue water is a 200-meter snorkeling path. Hawksnest Beach is also a popular place for snorkeling. Near the shore are three small reefs of Elkhorn Coral. The Elkhorn Coral gets its name from its shape. The reef looks similar to the huge horns(角) of an animal called elk. It is a very rare kind of reef. Scientists say itis in danger of becoming extinct.
The Virgin Islands National Park is often called America's paradise. It protects StJohn's pristine nature, and preserves the record of human history in the Caribbean.
Don't hesitate! Come here and put yourself in the paradise!

Boeing's Starliner spacecraft landed in a New Mexico desert late on Friday, months after its original departure date and without the two astronauts it carried when it launched in early June.
The Nasa astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore should have flown the Starliner back to Earth in June, a week after launching in it. But thruster(推进器)failures and helium(氦气)leaks marred their ride. Instead, they will remain at the International Space Station (ISS) for the rest of the year and will return in February aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.
Nasa ultimately decided it was too risky to return Williams and Wilmore on the Starliner. So the capsule contains their empty seats and blue spacesuits along with some old station equipment.
After Nasa's space shuttles were retired more than a decade ago, Nasa hired Boeing and SpaceX for orbital(轨道的) taxi service. Boeing ran into so many problems on its first test flight with no one onboard in 2019 that it had to repeat it. The 2022 do-over uncovered even more flaws and the repair bill topped $ 1. 5bn.
The Starliner finally blasted into space on 5 June from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station after unsuccessful launches on 6 May and 1 June. On the first launch attempt, a problem was found with a valve(闵门) on the second stage, or upper portion, of the rocket. On the second, a computer tripped an automatic hold just three minutes and 50 seconds from liftoff. That was later attributed to a single ground power supply fault within one of the launch control computers.
Even after it successfully launched, helium leaks continued to trouble the spacecraft. As the Starliner approached the ISS, two leaks were detected but Nasa determined the spacecraft remained stable. What started as an eight-day mission dragged on for three months after the leaks and faulty thrusters raised safety concerns.
However, Nasa and Boeing officials insisted that the astronauts were not trapped and that the technical difficulties did not threaten the mission, “We'll come home when we're ready,” Steve Stich, Nasa's commercial crew program manager, said in the press conference in July.
24. What does the underlined word “marred” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Underwent. B. Stimulated. C. Facilitated. D. Blocked.
25. What do we know about Boeing's spacecraft launches
A. They were filled with delays and setbacks.
B. Starliner's initial launch went smoothly.
C. The 2019 manned spaceflight was a failure.
D. Reasons of the problems were still unidentified.
26. Why didn't the two astronauts come back to Earth on time
A. Because the project went over the original budget.
B. Because they were both in serious health conditions
C. Because it was dangerous to take the Starliner then.
D. Because Nasa officials failed to reach an agreement
27.What can be implied according to the last two paragraphs
A. The two astronauts would come back soon.
B. Officials considered the situation within control.
C. Nasa officials were pessimistic and pressed.
D. The mission would be completed in 3 months.
C
Actor Alicia Silverstone worried fans on social media recently. While on a trip to England, she posted a TikTok video of herself tasting a kind of poisonous berries she found along a sidewalk. Silverstonc, who appeared in the 1995 movie Clueless, said she thought the fruit was a tomato. But when she bit into it and found that it had an unusual taste, she realized that it was not the common food.
Plant expert. Jessica Damiano, recently wrote about poisonous plants that look like common foods for the Associated Press, She said the fruit that looked like a tomato appears to have been a Jerusalem cherry.
Often sold as a houseplant, all parts of the Jerusalem cherry are poisonous. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says the plant is not only harmful to humans but also to dogs, cats and horses. Eating large amounts can be deadly. Silverstone was lucky because she did not swallow the berries. She was also lucky because the berries were reddish orange. which meant they were ripe. While all parts of the Jerusalem cherry are poisonous, the plant's unripe berries can be especially dangerous. They can cause problems with the central nervous and gastrointestinal(肠胃的) systems.
The Jerusalem cherry is not the only toxic plant that looks like a safe one.
The poisonous Carolina horse nettle fruit also looks like a tomato. It is also known as devil's potato to add to the confusion, The Virginia creeper fruit also looks like blueberries, and it can be deadly if eaten. Wild parsnip has flowers like a carrot and leaves like parsley(欧芹).Simply touching it can cause a skin problem. Creeping buttercup looks like flat-leaf parsley. It can cause severe stomach pain, vomiting(吐)and heart problems. And Canadian moonseed can be confused with wild grape. However, its taste is so bitter that you would likely spit it out before swallowing it. This is a good thing because eating it can lead to death.
If you think you have swallowed a toxic plant by mistake, contact a poison control center in your area or your doctor immediately. There is additional information on the website poison. org.
Damiano advises using common sense with plants you find in the wild. [f you are not completely sure that something is food, do not eat it.
28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To present the author's argument.
B. To introduce the topic of the article.
C. To raise the public's attention of wild plants.
D. To popularize the knowledge of medical science.
29. Why was Silverstone thought to be fortunate
A. The berries she had a bite were ripe.
B. She found the fruit she ate was a tomato
C. She had a good knowledge of wild plants.
D. The amount of the berries she consumed was large.
30. According to the description, what plants can be most harmful to people
A. Carolina horse nettle and wild parsnip.
B. Virginia creeper and creeping buttercup
C. Wild parsnip and Canadian moonseed.
D. Canadian moonseed and Virginia creeper
31. What may be the suitable measure if someone mistakenly swallows a poisonous plant
A. Spitting it out as quickly as possible.
B. Making an appointment with their doctor.
C. Getting in touch with the local authority instantly.
D. Searching for the relevant information on the Internet.
D
Superhuman artificial intelligence has played a role in our life. When it comes to playing games like chess, or solving difficult scientific challenges like predicting protein structures, computers arc well ahead of humans. But we have one superpower they aren't close to mastering: mind reading.
We are blessed with a mysterious ability to reason the goals, desires and beliefs of others, a crucial skill that means we can anticipate other people's actions and the consequences of our own. If Als are to become truly useful in everyday life-to cooperate effectively with us or to understand that a child might run into the road after a bouncing ball-we have to give them this gift that evolution has given us to read other people's minds.
In psychology, the ability to infer another's mental state is referred to as theory of mind. In humans, this capacity develops at a very young age. How to reproduce the capability in machines is far from clear, though. One of the main challenges is context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply “it's raining”, they can quickly conclude the answer is no. But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences.
Besides, whether humans or Al, the theory of mind is supposed to emerge naturally from one's own learning process. Building prior knowledge into Al makes it reliant on our imperfect understanding of theory of mind. In addition, Al may be capable of developing approaches we could never imagine. There can be many forms of theory of mind that we don't know about simply because we live in a human body that has certain types of senses and a certain ability to think.
But we might still want Al to have a more human-like form of theory of mind . Humans can clearly explain their goals to each other using common language and ideas. While letting Al form the theory of mind in their learning process is likely to lead to developing more powerful Al, plainly building in shared ways to represent knowledge may be crucial for humans to trust and communicate with AI.
It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It is also a stepping stone on the path towards a deeper goal for Al and robotics research: building truly self-aware machines. Whether we will ever get there remains to be seen. But along the way thinking about other people and other agents, we are on the path to learning to think about ourselves.
32. According to the passage, which of the following contexts can Al understand well
A. When asked where an object is, a naughty kid points in the wrong direction.
B. When a teacher asks for a boy's homework, he answers “my dog ate it”.
C. When you are treated with a hotpot for dinner, you reply “a sore throat”.
D. When a mom tells her kid milk is good for health, the kid drinks it up.
33. Which statement will the author agree with most about theory of mind
A. Humans’theory of mind is far from perfect.
B. Humans limit Al's theory of mind to an extent.
C.AI's theory of mind development has been totally decoded.
D. Shared forms of theory of mind result in more powerful AI.
34. What is the author's attitude toward truly self-aware machines
A. Ambiguous. B. Conservative
C. Skeptical. D. Approving.
35.Which would be the best title for the passage
A. As Theory of Mind Will Define Our Future
B. AI with Its Own Theory of Mind Is Expected
C. AI’s Theory of Mind-a Blessing or Suffering to Humans
D. Theory of Mind Bridges the Gap Between Humans and AI

Ensuring that your home is as energy-efficient as it can possibly be is essential. Take the steps listed below, and you'll be living in an energy-efficient home in no time.
36 To stop it in its tracks, you must invest in having your house insulated(隔热的). Taking such action may demand some cost in advance, but it will be sure to save you over 100 a year when it comes to your energy bills.

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。
Kevin woke to the blaring beep of his alarm clock. “Can’t wait for that camping trip,” Kevin thought, filled with excitement. As he was leaving home, his dad grabbed him by the hand and said, “Before you go, just tell me the directions on where you and your friends are going to stay.”
“But dad!” Kevin complained.
“No buts!” Kevin’s dad added.
“Fine.” Kevin told him the directions and left.
The three friends, Kevin, Jay and Nathan, had been planning this adventure for weeks, packing their stuff-tents, snacks, and a map-preparing for a 3-day outdoor exploration. Excitement ran through Kevin as they departed for their campsite. “This trip is going to be awesome, ” Nathan excitedly yelled as they set off. But little did they know that nature had a surprise in store for them.
The first day at the campsite was going great, setting up tents, collecting firewood, and sharing stories. “Man, we nailed these tents, ” Kevin said. “I know it was easy really,” Nathan replied. The friends were happy.
Yet towards night, as the dark clouds gathered overhead, the atmosphere shifted, and a sudden storm erupted with unforgiving anger. Rain poured down from the heavens like a relentless waterfall, transforming the peaceful campsite into a muddy battleground. Worse still, a huge tree was uprooted and crashed down with a deafening crack on their only means of escape - their car. Kevin’s eyes widened in horror as he spotted the damaged wreckage beneath the fallen giant. “Our car!” he screamed over the howling wind, his voice a mix of disbelief and despair. “We’re stuck here,” he declared, his words barely audible against the backdrop of thunder and raindrops. They realized that their plans had been violently spoiled by forces beyond their control. The once quiet campsite now stood as a deserted battlefield, the fallen tree serving as a painful reminder of the unpredictable nature of the world around them.

27.B, 根据 “that the technical difficulties did not threaten the mission"及“We'll come home when we're ready”可知.官员认为目前情况可控。
28.B。推理判断题。从第二段以及第四、第五段可知作者写第一段的目的。
29.A。细节理解题。从第三段可得知答案。
30.D。细节理解题。从倒数第三段可知,若吃了 Canadian moonseed和 Virginia creeper 这两种植物的果实会导致死
亡,所以对人的伤害是最大的。
31.C。细节理解题。从倒数第二段可知,“若发现自己误食了有毒植物,立即联系你所在区域的中毒控制中心或你的医生。”故选 C。
32.D。根据第二段可知,人类有一种神秘的能力来推理他人的目标,欲望和信仰,这是一项至关重要的技能,意味着我们可以预测他人的行为和自己的后果。这种思维 AI还不具有。A、B、C都需要运用到心智理论去解释人们的目标和欲望,而D不需要。
33.B。根据第四段可知,AI接收的信息都是人类输入的,AI已有的数据依赖于人类的思维,但是人类的心智理论本就是不完美的。此外,人类本身的局限性导致自身的心智理论的受限。因此选择 B项“人类在一定程度上限制了人工智能的心智理论”
34.D。根据最后两段可知,作者支持开发具有心智理论的 A,期待建造真正有自我意识的机器。
35.B。文章通过介绍心智理论这一心理学概念,论述了 AI虽然在推理方面远胜于人类,但还不具备完善的自我心智理论。作者期待具有心智理论的机器,认为建造真正有自我意识的机器是迈向人工智能和机器人研究更深层目标的垫脚石。因此选 B。A选项中的“Define Our Future(定义人类未来)”太绝对;C选项中的“a Blessing or Suffering”错,文章没有讨论对人类是好是坏;D选项中的“Bridges the Gap Between"错,作者是希望 AI具有人类一样的心智理论,不等于该理论消除两者间的隔阂。
36.F。由下文“To stop it in its tracks, you must invest in having your house insulated(隔热的).(为了在它的路径上阻止它,你必须投资让房子隔热。)”可知,这里指需要阻止房内热量外流。F项“Most of your home's wasted energy will escape through your roof.”符合语境,下文it指代选项中的 wasted energy。故选 F。
37. G。由上文“The old boilers (锅炉) are not as energy-efficient as the very latest models in this field.(在这个领域.旧锅炉的能效不如最新型号的,)”可知,旧锅炉更耗能,G项“It might be high time to update yours if you haven't done so for years.(如果你已经多年没有更新自己的锅炉,现在可能是时候了。)”符合语境。故选 G。
38. B, 由上文“Only when you know how much energy you use can you take action to be less wasteful and more resourceful in this instance.”可知,这里讲要了解自己用了多少能源。B项“It means you should try to keep track of energy consumption.”符合语境,其中 keep track of energy consumption 与上文 know how much energy you use对应。有承上作用。故选B。
39. A, 由下文“But if you're lucky, your electricity provider will give you one for free. This monitor will provide you and your family with constant updates on the amount of energy you are using on a day-to-day basis.”推知,空处指出监控的价格不是特别便宜,但如果运气好的话,电力供应商会免费提供。A项“Generally,this type of device will cost between f25 and f40.”符合语境,其中f25andf40与下文for free对应,都在讲花费在这设备上钱的问题,所以本句有启下作用。故选A。
40. D, 由上文"With just a few years to go until climate change alters earth forever, now is the time for you to play your part in protecting the planet that you live in.”可知,作者号召读者保护地球,D项“By putting the above device into practice, you'll be green soon.”符合语境,其中 the above advice 指上面的建议,对上文有总结作用。故选 D。
41.B。根据下文中的 little planning、zero stress,以及全文的描述可知,探寻化石之旅重要的是让作者的内心得到平静,而low-risk 是最符合语境的。
42.C。根据上文的 journalism 以及第三段第一句的 newsroom 可知。
43.D。根据下句可知,作者“发现”了华盛顿到处都隐藏了化石这个秘密。
44.A。根据下文的 fossil hunting、looking for 可知,作者开始了“寻找”化石之旅。
45.B。上文说化石遗址离城市较远,所以需要离开城市去寻找。physically最符合语境。
46.A。根据下文的 like thinking over..可知,在寻找化石的过程需要反复思考,需要“耐心”和专注。47.D。本句是个比喻句,把在野外发现可识别的化石形状比喻成像是……,只有puzzle“拼图”符合语境,意为“拼图”,…像是对着在泥沙中的残缺拼图冥思苦想一样。
48.C。上文提到寻找化石的过程比较费力、耗时,由此推知,这些化石比较“稀有”
49.C。根据下文的 holds back the rest of the world 可知,手机的信号“不好”。
50.D。根据下文的 they have nothing but time可知,化石有的是时间等待作者来找到它们,所以它们不需要作者“立即的”关注。
51.B。根据上文的 and placed it within my sight可知,这块化石是作者整天想“关注”的事物。
52.D。翻看那块化石让作者的思绪暂时神游别处。
53.A。化石把作者带到了人类到达并“建造”城市之前的时光。
54.B。根据下文“l realize a lot of stressful details don't matter,”可知,作者意识到很多令人倍感压力的细节并不重TNGD
要,他担忧的心“平静了下来”
55. A。 根据“I realize a lot of stressful details don't matter."及“Maybe I don't need to take that phone call right thisminute.”可知,此刻作者的“观点”发生了变化。
【答案】Dear Daniel,
We’re throwing a party for your birthday this Sunday afternoon. But I am here to express my sincerest apologies for not being able to attend it.
As scheduled, there is going to be a science competition on Sunday afternoon. This competition is so important to me that I do not want to miss out on it. You are an amazing teacher, from whom I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to learn.
Once again, I apologize for not being able to join in the celebrations. May your birthday be filled with love, laughter, and wonderful memories. Wish you a fantastic birthday!
Yours,
Li Hua
Paragraph 1: The next day, they found themselves facing the immediate problem of finding water. The search for water soon drained their energy. They were about to give up when they heard a small sound, a splash of some sort. They ran as fast as they could and found a small stream-a lifeline in all the challenges. However, with time passing by, more challenges emerged -limited food, frightful night filled with wilderness sounds, and the uncertainty of survival in the wild. Their nerves were near the edge of breaking down after long hours of uncertainty in the wilderness.
Paragraph 2: On the third night, a distant engine sound broke the terrible stillness. Relief washed over the weary faces as they witnessed the approach of a rugged vehicle. Kevin’s dad stepped out to meet the group. The emotions that played across their faces - disbelief, gratitude, and overwhelming joy- mirrored the shared trouble that had forged a deep bond among them. Back home, Kevin’s dad said, “Good thing you told me those directions,” teaching them the importance of informing someone about plans. The experience turned into tales of courage and resilience, embedded in their memories as lessons for a lifetime.
