For years, twice a day Aadya Joshi walked past a dump filled with smelly rubbish in her neighborhood of south Mumbai on her way to and from school. Originally it was the garden of the local police station. When she was 15, during her summer holidays, Joshi decided to do something about it. “I walked into the police station and was like, ‘Can I please clean your garden ’” recalls Joshi. “It took three or four weeks to eventually convince them that I was not going to give up halfway and leave them with more work. ”
The plot of land covers an area of 60 square meters, about a quarter of a tennis court. But, over the course of four Sundays in the summer, with help of local residents, Joshi did more than clear it. She replanted it with native Indian plants and trees. Joshi said, “The first day that we cleaned up I made the mistake of not wearing gloves and I was sick for two weeks.”
The idea for native planting came from Joshi’s reading on the Miyawaki method of afforestation(植树造林)and the work of University of Delaware ecologist Douglas Tallamy. These both argue that planting the right trees can have a significant impact on restoring insect and animal biodiversity. The results in Mumbai were immediate: monkeys now hang out at the police station, and butterflies and birds have made the garden their home.
After creating the garden, Joshi developed a database of 2,000 plants unique to the Indian subcontinent(次大陆)and last year was awarded the annual Children’s Climate prize, founded by Swedish energy company Telge Energi. Her advice for others looking to follow in her footsteps:
“If you bite off more than you can chew in the beginning, you will be stuck and lose motivation,” she says. “But something small, like your neighborhood police station, it’s very manageable.”
What was the dump before
A．It was the garden of south Mumbai.
B．It was the garden of the local school.
C．It was the garden of the local police station.
D．It was the research center of University of Delaware.
What can we learn from Joshi’s words in the second paragraph
A．The garden was too large to clean. B．The cleaning was hard and dangerous.
C．Joshi was sick of the cleaning work. D．The work was enjoyable and rewarding.
What can we learn from Joshi’s advice in the last paragraph
A．All roads lead to Rome. B．Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.
C．Time and tide wait for no man. D．The longest journey starts from the first step.
What is the purpose of the text
A．To demonstrate the environment problems.
B．To call on attention to India’s young people.
C．To persuade readers to donate to an environment program.
D．To advocate a teenager’s efforts in caring about the world.

No matter how you feel about it. AI is here. So, which types of jobs are most at risk What’s the best way to stay relevant
According to a Goldman Sachs study, most jobs and industries are only partly exposed to automation and are thus more likely to be complemented(辅助)rather than replaced by AI So, which are the most endangered
Joc Apfelbaum, who teaches how to use AI through his course, says most at risk are jobs that use a process that can be done faster and cheaper with AI like forming products or filing tax returns.
Shannan Monson, a founder and educator, says the outlook is not that negative. “We didn’t stop washing our dishes just because the dishwasher was invented. We simply get to do it faster, easier, and with less effort.” Paul Canetti, a professor at Columbia Business School, says that decision-makers and people managers are safe because AI can’t motivate or relate to humans.
As AI develops, its application might not be as fast as we think. But those who are well-learned in it quickly are at more of an advantage. Canetti says there is going to be “a long period of transition (过渡期), where you can perform really well at your job by taking advantage of these new tools before the average person does.”
Experts agree that clearly human skills will remain the most valuable. Humans are uniquely qualified there and human-to-human work is going to be hardest to replace. “Focus on building your skills as a team player and a team leader” Monson says. Apfelbaum argues that it’s not just about reskilling, but rather people need to get over their fears and get complete with who they are so they can show up with all their creativity since AI does not have passion and real human creativity.
What may be affected most by AI
A．Managing human resources. B．Reporting taxes.
C．Selling new products. D．Making decisions.
What might Apfelbaum and Monson agree with
A．We can’t stop AI controlling our life. B．We needn’t overestimate AI’s impact.
C．Adopting AI makes humans lazy. D．Employing Al in life is effortless.
What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to
A．AI’s outlook. B．AI’s development.
C．AI’s application. D．AI’s advantage.
Which is the best title for the passage
A．How to get over people’s fears on AI
B．How to explore human emotions AI affects
C．How to exhibit AI’s creativity in workplaces
D．How to stay relevant at work at the age of AI
D
For the arts “to mean more, to more people”, as Arts Council England(ACE)argues that they should, would be excellent. Music, drama, dance, visual arts, poetry and literature are among the most precious human achievements. To live in a country in which these are more widely shared and enjoyed would be proof that we are making progress. The point is not to entertain or educate people, or bring communities together. Nor is it all about boosting jobs and investment. Imagination has intrinsic(内在的)value, and research carried out by ACE in the course of preparing its 10-year strategy showed that people from all walks of life value and get pleasure from cultural activities.
Positioning itself as a development agency, ACE will now hope to win government backing for a change of direction that orients it away from the biggest and most famous national institutions and towards the towns, villages and grassroots organizations that should be similarly deserving of attention. There, it imagines a role for itself “building the identity and prosperity of places,” bringing professional artists together with voluntary groups, particular in areas that have previously not been well represented on the cultural map.
ACE’s chair, Sir Nicholas Serota, quotes the first world war centenary project devised by the artist, Jeremy Deller, and theatre director, Rufus Norris, as the model of what he wants his organization to be about. By acting as soldiers, and orchestrating their encounters with members of the public in settings across England, the artists succeeded in “dissolving the barriers between artists and audiences.”
To what extent the vision that ACE wants to promote cultural engagement so as to transform the passive spectators into the active participants is realized will depend in part on whether ACE’s ambitions catch the government’s interest sufficiently to influence the upcoming spending review, and provide a counterweight to the scorn(轻视)that is regularly poured on the humanities. Around 400m has been cut from local government arts budgets since 2010, and ACE cannot meet the financial needs. The closure of youth clubs and live music venues, and growing financial pressures linked to the property market, are among other reasons for this worrisome narrowing of opportunities. So far Boris Johnson has offered few signs that he has in mind a starring role for the arts in post-Brexit Britain, although 2022’s Festival of Brexit is one such event. ACE’s plan should boost the profile of all those, in government and outside, who are arguing for more.
What is the purpose of making arts available to more people
A．To consolidate various communities. B．To maximize the natural value of art.
C．To create job opportunities for artists. D．To enlighten people from all walks of life.
What place is ACE most likely to promote the arts according to the passage
A．Rural settlements. B．Local governments.
C．Commercial centers. D．National organization.
Which of the following statements would Sir Nicholas Serota most probably agree with
A．Artists and audiences can create and enjoy the arts together without barriers.
B．Audiences with little education can also gain pleasure from cultural activities.
C．The soldiers and volunteers should vividly show scenes about the First World War.
D．Science, technology and maths are more important than humanities and arts nowadays.
What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．The British government has done enough to promote arts.
B．For the arts to get revitalized more extensive efforts are needed.
C．ACE should narrow the financial gap left by the local government.
D．Many performing venues have closed due to the rising property market.

As a baby, Jack’s remarkable swimming journey began. At ten months, he already practised with swim aids. At six, he won his first swimming competition in a group for kids ten-and-under. At seven, he stayed at the pool from nine in the morning till eight hours later. His mother, recognizing his gift, took it as her duty to guide him. 36 By a young age, Jack had been ranked the number one swimmer of the country, a title he held for a record-breaking duration.
37 He played skiing, tennis, soccer, and many more. Sam was a kid who loved to play, and his parents had no particular athletic ambitions for him. It was nearing his teens that he began to focus more on basketball. 38 In his mid-thirties, an age by which many professional basketball players are typically retired, Sam was still in the national basketball team.
Top athletes like Jack at the peak of their abilities do spend more time on focused, deliberate practice than their peers(同龄人). But scientists also find that potential champions typically devote less time to deliberate practice in childhood, but more to “sampling” various activities. 39
In a world that demands people to specialize early, we face a challenge to keep the benefits of diverse experiences and delayed concentration. There’s a need for those with Jack’s early focus. 40 — People who start with many different things and accept various experiences. People with range.
A．There was no time to waste.
B．And it was all going according to plan.
C．The growing complexity of the world also calls for more Sams.
D．But it didn’t seem to hold back his development in the long run.
E．In reality, the Sam’s path to success is far more common, yet less told.
F．In contrast to Jack, Sam didn’t show significant sporting talent until later.
G．Unlike the swimming talent, Sam’s early years were filled with a variety of sports.

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。
Susan had a secret: she loved robots. She had helped her dad in his workshop and knew a lot about motors, but her friends didn’t know this.
One day, she heard Alex and Jacob talking about their robot, Robbie. They were preparing for a big competition but Robbie wasn’t working properly. Susan was surprised by their courage, as they always seemed unpopular among the boys. She felt bad for them and wanted to help.
On the school bus home, Susan sat behind Alex and Jacob, who were still trying to fix their robot. “This is impossible! The legs move before you press the switch and stop after you press the switch!” Alex said, looking at Robbie’s legs, which were not moving right. “The competition is only eight days away!” Jacob looked sad. He thought they were going to lose.
“Umm, how did you connect the wires from the switch ” Susan asked quietly over their shoulders. Alex turned and gave her a cautious look. Susan smiled and asked, “Did you connect the NO wire or the NC wire to the motor ” The boys stared at her as if she had just landed from Mars.
Susan gently took the robot and pointed out the wire connected to the motor. “Here’s the problem!” She explained that it was the NC wire. It means the circuit(电路)is Normally Closed. She then pulled a loose wire out of the robot and explained that it was the NO wire, which means Normally Open. “If you connect this wire instead, Robbie will walk when you press the switch.” Susan handed the robot back to Alex, who was staring at her with his mouth open.
“Change the wires and see,” she said before getting off the bus. Ten minutes later, her phone rang. It was Jacob: “Your idea worked, and we're wondering if you could come over and help improve our Robbie.” Susan smiled. She knew she had made the right choice.

Regarding your plan to use Al technology fo r English composition correction, I believe it's a truly innovative idea.Al can efficiently identif y grammatical and spelling errors, freeing tea chers to focus more on content and creativity. However, I suggest e nsuring the Al's suggestions are not overly me chanical, as it's important to maintain the uni que voice of each student. Addi tionally, periodic human reviews should be co nducted to ensure accuracy and fairness.
Finally, I hope the Al can also provide feed back on writing style and structure.
