Our old, artificial Christmas tree was in rough shape by the time we retired it. At least a decade had passed since my wife and I bought the tree, a medium-size fake tree with built-in lights, at a Target in Brooklyn and carried it on the subway to our tiny apartment. Over the years, we dragged that tree from apartment, jammed it onto a moving truck to Los Angeles and later packed the weathered box onto another moving truck, this time to Chicago and our current home. By the end, layers of duct tape (强力胶布) held the box together, the wear and tear of a decade of delivering holiday cheer.
Our little tree looked run down, but it was the only tree our family ever knew. It stands proud and glowing in the background of photos of me and my pregnant wife during our last Christmas in Brooklyn without children. Our oldest was born a month later during a January snowstorm. The tree shows up again in the next year’s photos, this time surrounded by holiday gifts for a boy about to turn 1. Then it appears in photos of our son and his 1-month-old brother, this time with California palm trees just outside the door. And in more recent photos, our tree lights up windows overlooking shining Chicago snow. This year, after much debate, we decided to retire our dear old tree, with its bent branches and the lights that had burned out years ago. Rather than feel depressed, we used the moment to launch a new family tradition: our first real Christmas tree.
So here’s a toast to all your family’s traditions—the old and the new. I hope you enjoy this issue, which we have filled with stories of seasonal joy and holiday cheer. Happy holidays!
4. Where is the author’s present home
A. In Chicago. B. In Brooklyn. C. In California. D. In Los Angeles.
5. Why did the author keep the old tree for so long
A. His budget was tight. B. He was attached to it.
C. It was in good condition. D. It was environmentally-friendly.
6. Who is probably the author
A. An editor. B. A salesman. C. A delivery man. D. A home designer.
7. What can we learn from the story
A. The finest diamond must be cut.
B. Out with the old, in with the new.
C. Old friends and old wine are best.
D. All things in their being are good for something.
C
Some immigrants (外来移民) in the northeastern part of the US, Maine, are learning to lose their accents. They speak English fluently but have a difficult time being understood because they have heavy accents.
Nyirabahizi said she left her home and job in Rwanda two years ago, coming to America in hopes of a brighter future. She has a master’s degree in computer science and speaks English fluently. She said all of her classes in Rwanda were taught in English, but here she had to learn again because of her accent.
She attended a free class to reduce her accent with seven other students. The city of Portland conducted the class and Greenlaw was the teacher. She said immigrants who had reduced their accents had greater success at work. And they could communicate more easily with store workers, teachers, doctors and neighbors. “It’s a basic need to be understood,” Greenlaw told the newspaper, “It affects every part of their lives.”
Greenlaw began the class by telling students the 44 sounds of the English language. She told the students how the lips and jaws worked to form the sound. She told the students that some American English pronunciation rules didn’t make a lot of sense. But she said it was important to learn them if immigrants wanted to be understood by Americans.
Losing one’s accent is especially important for immigrants who live in Maine. More than 90 percent of the population of Maine are whites. Many people who live in Maine have not heard foreign accents except in movies or on televisions.
Greenlaw said some Mainers were impatient with people who spoke English with heavy accents. Her students said some Mainers ignored them or were unfriendly toward them because of their accents. They said this made them less likely to speak.
8. Why do some immigrants have difficulty making themselves understood
A. Their classes aren’t taught in English. B. They don’t master English at school.
C. They speak English with heavy accents. D. They don’t speak English fluently.
9. Why did Nyirabahizi and other students attend the free class
A. To change their low social positions. B. To hide their identities of immigrants.
C. To forget their native languages. D. To help them better work and communicate.
10. What is some Mainers’ attitude toward immigrants with heavy accents
A. Grateful. B. Cold. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Immigrants Learn to Change Their Accents B. Immigrants Are Required to Speak Well
C. Heavy Accents Cause Failures D. Good English Makes Success
D
According to a new research, published in the journal Nature by a team from the University of Liverpool, humans were building structures made of wood, dating back at least 476,000 years ago. The research team found well-preserved wood at the site of Kalambo Falls, Zambia. Stone tool cut-marks on the wood show that these early humans shaped and joined two large logs (原木) to make a structure, probably the foundation of a platform. This is the earliest evidence in the world of the designed arrangement of logs to fit together.
Until now, evidence for the human use of wood was limited to its use for making fire, digging sticks and other tools. Wood is rarely found in such ancient sites as it usually rots and disappears, but at Kalambo Falls permanently high water levels kept the wood.
This discovery challenges the prevailing view that Stone Age humans were moving around. Here humans not only had a constant source of water, but the forest around them provided enough food to enable them to settle and make structures. Professor Larry Barham, from the University of Liverpool, who leads the “Deep Roots of Humanity” research project said, “This find has changed how I think about our early ancestors. They used their intelligence, imagination, and skills to create something they’d never seen before, something that had never previously existed.”
The special new luminescence (冷光) dating technique was carried out by experts, which explains the last time materials in the sand surrounding the finds were exposed to sunlight, to determine their age. This research forms part of the pioneering “Deep Roots of Humanity” project. Professor Barham added, “Kalambo Falls is an extraordinary site in Zambia. The Deep Roots team is looking forward to more exciting discoveries coming from its waterlogged sands.”
12. What is the finding of the new research
A. Wood was used for construction. B. Wood pieces were joined for fun.
C. Ancestors were good at architecture. D. Ancient people designed wood products.
13. Which can replace the underlined word “prevailing” in paragraph 3
A. Obvious. B. Common. C. Deep. D. Strong.
14. How does Professor Larry Barham find the research
A. Energy-saving. B. Time-consuming. C. Ground-breaking. D. Problem-solving.
15. What are the researchers expecting
A. More discoveries come from Kalambo Falls. B. Something can be done to protect Zambia.
C. The sands used for research can be saved. D. The site is set aside for further studies.
七选五：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Working on and on
Who do you hold in higher regard: Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, who said he wakes up at 4 am and is the last to leave the office, or UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer who said he won’t work past 6 pm on Fridays ___16___
___17___ In the Roman Empire, rich people divided their day between business and leisure, with business only conducted in the morning. US economist Thorstein Veblen once wrote in his book that abstention from work becomes a mark of monetary achievement.
___18___ Elon Musk, one of the world’s richest people, works about 100hours a week. US Researchers found that those who work more than 40 to 45 hours a week are usually in “highly paid professional positions”. Regardless of the profession, a culture of overwork has become popular in the US, as long hours are seen as a sign of career success.
As Time magazine noted, one reason behind this change is “the rise of knowledge-intensive (知识密集型的) economies”. On the supply side, workers focus heavily on education and skill development, believing their knowledge and skills are their most valuable wealth. On the demand side, companies and organizations compete to attract top talent. ___19___ This trend is fueled by the increasing competition in the global market.
___20___ Study shows that the professions with the largest income gaps are also the ones where people are most likely to work more than 40 hours a week. This indicates that highly paid professionals are more willing to accept a busy schedule because, if they don’t, there are plenty of lower-paid workers ready to take their jobs.
A. Today, however, reality is different.
B. Rising financial insecurity is another factor.
C. People stay busy in pursuit of status and self-worth.
D. Working long hours is a necessity to support family responsibilities.
E. Historically, long work hours weren’t associated with wealth or status.
F. In other words, long work hours imply that an individual is in high demand.
G. The answer seems obvious in the US where busyness has become a symbol of high status.

请在横线上填入一个单词，或用所给单词的适当形式填空。
We know that AI is not a real human. However, it seems many of us can’t help treating it like one. In a survey of 2,000 people in the US, 48 percent believed we should have good manners ____36____ talking to AI, said The New York Post.
Scientists at the Imperial College London in the UK made a similar discovery recently. They found that humans tend to treat AI agents as social ____37____（being）, showing sympathy toward them ____38____ even protecting them, Science Daily reported.
In their experiment, the scientists had 244 volunteers play an online ball game with an AI bot. A pretend volunteer also took part, and sometimes left out the AI on purpose by passing the ball only to human players.
As the scientists watched the game, they discovered that most of the time, the volunteers tried to fix the ____39____（fairness）toward the bot by giving it the ball more often.
The finding is in line with the basic ideas of media equation theory, the scientists noted in their paper. Developed in the 1990s by scientists at Stanford University in the US, the theory suggests we often respond to media and technology like we do____40____real people and places, rather than just seeing them as tools.
While this could make humans and AI work better as a team, it also has risks, especially when AI bots ____41____（design）to act like “friends” to people.
An example is Replika, an AI companion chatbot launched in 2017. It has about 2 million users worldwide. “Your Replika will always be your side no matter what you’re up to,” reads its ___42___（office）website. But the AI’s support turned dangerous when it encouraged Jaswant Singh Chail, a young man in the UK,____43____（carry）out his plan to kill the Queen of England. Chail tried to do so in December 2021, but he was stopped in time. However, he still got ____44____ 8-year sentence.
Companies should avoid making AI too human-like in their design, _____45_____ can help people tell the difference between virtual and real interactions.

67. 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 was very active in sports and games when I was in primary school. I was good at the long jump and running. As a result I was chosen to represent the school in the long jump and relay events at the District Sports Meet.
The event lasted two days. With no competitions for me on the first day, I cheered on my teammates and watched other athletes. Seeing our team do well in various events was encouraging. The successes of our team were not just victories; they were a source of inspiration. Each triumph (获胜) by our athletes was met with a round of applause and shouts of joy from our cheering section. Their achievements fueled my own motivation, and I could feel the excitement building within me. I was ready for my events.
On the second day, my long jump event was scheduled for the early afternoon. I felt confident, but when I got there I realized there were a lot of talented athletes. There was one young athlete in particular who jumped extremely far, wearing spikes (钉子鞋), making it harder for the rest of us. I was very nervous. At the end of the race, I tried my best, and although I jumped a good distance, I twisted (扭伤) my foot. I finished fourth, just missing out on a medal.
That was disappointing, but I reminded myself that we still had a chance in the 8×50 m relay, for which I was assigned to run the fifth leg. The race time arrived. We filed into our assigned spots and prepared for the race. After a tense minute or so, I heard the starter’s gun go off. When the first runners took off, I held my breath and watched our team runners keep up with the others. As they got closer, I realized we were at least in second place.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My turn arrived, I nervously took the baton (接力棒) and began my run.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At last I lost the race, but when I got to the end, my team was there, still cheering me on.

Would you please tell me what I can do to make my speech more impressive and help to check my speech draft when I have finished writing it I know you're working to a very tight schedule recently. But if you could give me a reply at your earliest convenience，I would greatly appreciate it.

【答案】One possible version:
My turn arrived I nervously took the baton (接力棒) and began my run. I ran forward, giving it my all, but then I stumbled and fell down. I felt a quick pain and my heart sank. The race looked like it was getting away. The noise from the crowd disappeared as I struggled. But my friends’ calls for me to stand up cut through the silence. I saw the other runners moving fast, and I knew I had to keep going.
At last I lost the race, but when I got to the end, my team was there, still cheering me on. They were proud of my behavior instead of being disappointed, just as I was proud of my efforts. Even though I didn’t get a medal in the long jump or the relay, I showed I could keep going even when things were hard. I had faced challenges and pushed through, showing my courage. The applause from the crowd was a reward which meant more than any medal. The true victory is in the effort, not just the result.
