Not long ago, I experienced one of those profound moments. It was a chilly evening in December when I found myself in a busy train station, surrounded by the holiday 16 . As I waited for my train, I noticed a frail (脆弱的) elderly woman struggling with her heavy suitcase. She seemed overwhelmed by the crowd, her face shadowed with 17 .

Suddenly, the train announcement came through the station, shocking us both. The woman realized she was about to 23 her train. Panic washed over her face, and I knew I had to act 24 .

As we 29 together, she told me more about her grandchildren and shared laughter over silly stories from her past. In that brief train journey, a connection was 30 between us, bridging the gap between generations. When we reached her stop, she turned to me with a smile that 31 her face and said, “You are a true hero tonight.”
I watched her step off the train, the 32 of her suitcase no longer a burden. It was a 33 that even in a chaotic world, small acts of kindness can make all the difference.

B
In early 2018, I was training for the London Marathon — the first and only marathon I would ever run in my life. I had treated myself to an expensive fitness watch that tracked my time, pace and splits.
At the end of my final training run — an exhausting 21 miles (34km) — I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared for ever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much sums up my relationship with exercise tracking technology.
It can be a total joy to watch your data change on running apps as you get stronger and faster. I once got a kick out of it, but at some point it became a stick I used to punish myself. I would watch my pace, compare it with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized exercise tracking as a problem. It seemed to me that tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to improve, wasn’t it The point was to be better.
In the past year, the concept of “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things that were once easy such as brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy in a day. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what in my life made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and simply deleted years’ worth of data that was once very important to me and now meant nothing.
What has become very clear to me since I quit tracking my runs is that I genuinely love doing them. I run around my local park with a silly little smile on my face. I love it so much. But I do not love running quickly. I do not like races. I do not want to be pushed to be faster. Things I notice about my runs now include: how my legs feel and how my mind feels afterwards-clear and focused. I notice dogs, the smell of the wild plants along the canal and the sunshine (OK, wind and rain) on my face.
I am better. Or sometimes I am worse. But either way I’m slowly plodding along, and that’s good enough.
41．The author cried after the final training run because she ________.
A．had to stop working out B．became physically worn out
C．lost the data on the watch D．felt a sharp pain in the legs
42．The author used to view exercise tracking as ________ .
A．a fun hobby for enjoyment B．a strong need for recognition
C．a method of escaping punishment D．a way of being a better runner
43．What does “being better” mean to the author now
A．Getting pleasure out of winning races. B．Being more focused on her life goal.
C．Getting faster or stronger. D．Improving her overall well-being.
44．The author decided to stop tracking her runs because she realized that ________.
A．she was no longer interested in running
B．tracking made her focus too much on performance
C．she had lost all the data from her fitness watch
D．running without tracking was more challenging
45．What can we conclude from this passage
A．Adjustment brings happiness. B．Passion is the key to success.
C．Sports conuibute to happiness. D．Success equals self-improvement.
C
From the beginning of film, moviemakers have experimented with special effects. The earliest and simplest involved stopping the camera, replacing an actor with a dummy, then starting the camera again and allowing the character on screen to meet an apparently unpleasant fate. Later, animation, models and puppets (木偶) were used to bring monsters and spaceships to life on our screens, before computer graphics, laborious and expensive, enabled more realistic and complicated visual effects to be produced.
Generative artificial intelligence (AI), broke the ground then.
First demonstrated with not deadly still images, AI could generate amazing visuals from text descriptions. Ask for a tap-dancing cat on a tight rope tied between two skyscrapers and, within an instant, you’d get an image depicting exactly that.
New AI-powered tools also enable images and footage (一组镜头) to be rapidly edited. They let you change a character’s clothing without you needing to reshoot the scene, or remove something in the background you don’t like, or even change an actor’s expression or their age. Thus, AI technologies generate realistic avatars that can perfectly mimic real-life actors or create entirely fictional, yet totally convincing characters complete with movement and voice.
Some writers and actors object to the use of generative AI in film and television. Their objections were about more than AI putting skilled people out of work, though. AI is trained on existing content and the people who own the copyright on it won’t be pleased if the AI uses their content as training data.
But, creatively speaking, the nature of its training means AI can’t come up with much that’s original or novel.
Given all this, it’s hard to say how AI will change the film industry over the long term with any great degree of certainty, except that with visual element easily and cheaply produced, special effects become less ‘special’ in the immediate future.
Plus, the current limitations of their training mean there’ll be strange inaccuracies that make it too unpleasant, even annoying to place AI center stage without extensive editing work.
But used appropriately, as just another postproduction tool, perhaps AI could enable a return to what matters most to make memorable movies: thrilling performances from actors, beautifully imagined scenes and amazing narratives.
46．Why were special effects used initially
A．To reduce the risks of the performers.
B．To make the actor meet unpleasant fate.
C．To allow the camera to stop and start.
D．To create monsters and spaceships.
47．What is the disadvantage of movie-quality computer graphic before AI
A．Lack of application. B．Bad visual experience.
C．Public objection. D．Costs consuming.
48．What is the main reason for writers and actors to object to the use of AI
A．It results in much unemployment.
B．It is harmful to their copyrights.
C．It is inaccurate in performing.
D．It involves complicated technology.
49．From the passage, we can learn that ______.
A．AI plays the key role in creating fine movies.
B．Employment in movie industry will stay steady.
C．AI can’t create innovative visual effects independently.
D．Large amounts of editing work advocate special effects in movies.
50．What, in the author’s opinion, is the best role that AI should play
A．An aid that improves actors’ performing.
B．A complement to traditional movie production.
C．An economical tool that upsets moving making.
D．A central stage tool that helps movie industry.
D
Since the beginning of the Internet era it has been pretty widely accepted that when you join an online service, whatever data you put into it belongs to you. That’s the way things were — until Facebook came along. Facebook took a different approach. Until recently, everything you put into Faccbook — photos, messages, wall posts, your profile info, and, most significant, your address book — could not be exported anywhere. In effect, you didn’t own your data. Facebook did.
In October it relaxed things a bit with a policy that lets you export most of your stuff, with one glaring exception: the e-mail addresses of the people on your contact list. All you get is a list of names. Facebook says it can’t let you take your friends’ e-mail addresses because that information doesn’t belong to you; it belongs to your friends. Of course this is rubbish. The reality is that Facebook wants to make it difficult, if not impossible, for you to leave.
Now that policy has sparked a fight between Google and Facebook. Google is steamed because its users can, and often do, export their Gmail contact information into Facebook. But those people can’t bring Facebook info back into Gmail.
Earlier this month Google declared it would block exports of its data to services thai don’t reciprocate — meaning guess who. In a countermove, Facebook hacked around Google’s roadblock so its users could keep pulling data from Google.
Google said it was “disappointed” with Facebook’s behavior. It also created a warning screen to tell Gmail users that if they export their information to Facebook they won’t get it back.
Both companies declined to comment on the record for this story. But what’s really going on is that they’re at war. Google views Facebook as a threat to its business and has been trying to launch a social-networking service to compete with it. Facebook has rounded up 500 million people and intends to generate biilions of dollars in revenue (收益) by gathering data about them and selling it to advertisers.
Facebook’s position with rivai tech companies boils down to this: if you want access to all the information we’ve collected, strike a deal with us. Microsoft and Yahoo have done that, and now; like magic, they can export Facebook contact info into their systems, while Google still can’t.
Remember the early days of the Net, when everything was going to be open and free, and we were all going to share information in a techno-utopia That was great until people realized that their user data could be turned into gold. Now there are billions at stake, and nobody is playing nice anymore.
51．Before Facebook appeared, people generally believed that ______.
A．they can join any online service at their own will
B．their online information belongs to online service providers
C．they own all the data they put into online services
D．their online service providers should keep their online info secret
52．What does the author think of Facebook preventing its users exporting their e-mail address to other online services
A．It can ensure the safety of its users’ information.
B．It has quire reasonable explanation.
C．It is one example often seen in online services.
D．It makes leaving Facebook hard for its users.
53．What’s the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 4
A．return the favour B．update in time
C．expand widciy D．guarantee their rights
54．What action did Google take to deal with the threat from Facebook
A．It united Microsoft and Yahoo to fight against what Facebook did.
B．It started to create a social-networking service to fight Facebook.
C．It warned its users of danger of giving away information on Facebook.
D．It created a program preventing Facebook’s hackers browsing its site.
55．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Companies are now prioritizing profit over the original ideals of the Internet.
B．The Internet has become less valuable due to the loss of its open nature.
C．Users are no longer willing to share their data online.
D．The techno-utopia vision of the Internet is still achievable in the future.

第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
Putting down the book I was reading, I turned to my mum Phyllis.
“Next year, when I go to high school...,” I started, thinking of all the novels I’d soon be devouring. But before I could finish my sentence, Mum cut me off.
“There will be no high school,” she said. “We don’t have money for uniforms or school shoes or books.”
It was 1963; I was 12 and had spent the whole of primary school not wearing any shoes, but I dreamed of being a teacher. My family were very poor and my three older siblings hadn’t gone on to high school. Two of them had started work and my older sister stayed home to help mum look after the younger kids. Two weeks before I turned 13, I started cutting threads off shirts in a clothing factory where I met George and later we married.
In time, we had our three kids Darcy, Georgina and Kelly. George found work on cattle stations so we moved to the outback in Western Queensland. I taught our three kids during their primary school years and that scratched my teaching itch a little, but the desire to study more never left me.
“When we retire, I want to go to university,” I told George.
I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. After 40 years in the outback, we retired in 2015 and I seized my chance. At the age of 66, I enrolled in a program with the University of the Sunshine Coast called the Tertiary Preparation Pathway which helped mature students prepare for university.
Next, I enrolled in a BA majoring in English. Walking onto campus that first day in February 2017, it was clear I was the oldest student there but that didn’t put me off in the slightest. My biggest challenge wasn’t the course work; it was the technology. My grandchildren constantly sent me encouraging messages saying, “We’re so proud of you, Granny” or asking how I was doing.
At last, I passed all my subjects with flying colours and when I was invited to graduate, I cried. I couldn’t believe I’d done it. Wearing my black robe and hat, I marched in to Johnny Farnham’s The Voice. I’ll never forget that feeling, waiting in the wings backstage for the Dean to call my name.“This is a wonderful achievement,” he told me as he handed my degree. I couldn’t agree more.
56．Why couldn’t the author go to high school (no more than 15 words)
57．What is the meaning of the underlined word “with flying colours” in the last paragraph (No more than 1 word)
58．How did the author managed to study more when moving to the outback in Western Queensland (no more than 10 words)
59．What program did the author enroll in at the University of the Sunshine Coast (no more than15 words)
60．What can you learn from the passage (No more than 20 words)

61．Dear Peter,
Learning that you are attracted by traditional Chinese Culture, I’m glad to introduce my favorite traditional Chinese art, Chinese calligraphy, to you.
Chinese calligraphy, the art of beautiful handwriting, has developed over centuries and has been widely practiced in China. Not only does it show the beauty of Chinese characters, but also serves the purpose of expressing the writer’s inner world.
I have been practicing Chinese calligraphy since I was a child and I have benefited a lot from it. Would you like to experience this Chinese art form If so, I’d be happy to offer my help.
Best regards,

Not long ago, I experienced one of those profound moments. It was a chilly evening in December when I found myself in a busy train station, surrounded by the holiday 16 . As I waited for my train, I noticed a frail (脆弱的) elderly woman struggling with her heavy suitcase. She seemed overwhelmed by the crowd, her face shadowed with 17 .
Without hesitation, I approached her and offered my 18 . She looked up, her eyes filled with gratitude, and accepted my help. As I 19 her suitcase, I learned that she was traveling to visit her grandchildren for the holidays, but her mobility had been severely 20 due to her age. She shared stories of her family, her voice filled with 21 and pleasant memories, painting a picture of love that 22 generations.
Suddenly, the train announcement came through the station, shocking us both. The woman realized she was about to 23 her train. Panic washed over her face, and I knew I had to act 24 . With her suitcase in tow (被拖着移动), I guided her 25 the crowds of passengers, making way in the sea of rushing feet and rolling bags.
Just 26 we reached the platform, the train doors began to close. With a(an) 27 of energy, I pushed the suitcase through the gap just in time, and she followed right behind me. Safe 28 , she breathed a sigh of relief and held my hand, thanking me heartily.
As we 29 together, she told me more about her grandchildren and shared laughter over silly stories from her past. In that brief train journey, a connection was 30 between us, bridging the gap between generations. When we reached her stop, she turned to me with a smile that 31 her face and said, “You are a true hero tonight.”
I watched her step off the train, the 32 of her suitcase no longer a burden. It was a 33 that even in a chaotic world, small acts of kindness can make all the difference. I will always cherish that 34 , inspired by the power of compassion and the unexpected friendships that can bloom in the most 35 of places.

In early 2018, I was training for the London Marathon — the first and only marathon I would ever run in my life. I had treated myself to an expensive fitness watch that tracked my time, pace and splits.
At the end of my final training run — an exhausting 21 miles (34km) — I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared for ever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much sums up my relationship with exercise tracking technology.
It can be a total joy to watch your data change on running apps as you get stronger and faster. I once got a kick out of it, but at some point it became a stick I used to punish myself. I would watch my pace, compare it with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized exercise tracking as a problem. It seemed to me that tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to improve, wasn’t it The point was to be better.
In the past year, the concept of “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things that were once easy such as brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy in a day. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what in my life made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and simply deleted years’ worth of data that was once very important to me and now meant nothing.
What has become very clear to me since I quit tracking my runs is that I genuinely love doing them. I run around my local park with a silly little smile on my face. I love it so much. But I do not love running quickly. I do not like races. I do not want to be pushed to be faster. Things I notice about my runs now include: how my legs feel and how my mind feels afterwards-clear and focused. I notice dogs, the smell of the wild plants along the canal and the sunshine (OK, wind and rain) on my face.
I am better. Or sometimes I am worse. But either way I’m slowly plodding along, and that’s good enough.
41．The author cried after the final training run because she ________.
A．had to stop working out B．became physically worn out
C．lost the data on the watch D．felt a sharp pain in the legs
42．The author used to view exercise tracking as ________ .
A．a fun hobby for enjoyment B．a strong need for recognition
C．a method of escaping punishment D．a way of being a better runner
43．What does “being better” mean to the author now
A．Getting pleasure out of winning races. B．Being more focused on her life goal.
C．Getting faster or stronger. D．Improving her overall well-being.
44．The author decided to stop tracking her runs because she realized that ________.
A．she was no longer interested in running
B．tracking made her focus too much on performance
C．she had lost all the data from her fitness watch
D．running without tracking was more challenging
45．What can we conclude from this passage
A．Adjustment brings happiness. B．Passion is the key to success.
C．Sports conuibute to happiness. D．Success equals self-improvement.
C
From the beginning of film, moviemakers have experimented with special effects. The earliest and simplest involved stopping the camera, replacing an actor with a dummy, then starting the camera again and allowing the character on screen to meet an apparently unpleasant fate. Later, animation, models and puppets (木偶) were used to bring monsters and spaceships to life on our screens, before computer graphics, laborious and expensive, enabled more realistic and complicated visual effects to be produced.
Generative artificial intelligence (AI), broke the ground then.
First demonstrated with not deadly still images, AI could generate amazing visuals from text descriptions. Ask for a tap-dancing cat on a tight rope tied between two skyscrapers and, within an instant, you’d get an image depicting exactly that.
New AI-powered tools also enable images and footage (一组镜头) to be rapidly edited. They let you change a character’s clothing without you needing to reshoot the scene, or remove something in the background you don’t like, or even change an actor’s expression or their age. Thus, AI technologies generate realistic avatars that can perfectly mimic real-life actors or create entirely fictional, yet totally convincing characters complete with movement and voice.
Some writers and actors object to the use of generative AI in film and television. Their objections were about more than AI putting skilled people out of work, though. AI is trained on existing content and the people who own the copyright on it won’t be pleased if the AI uses their content as training data.
But, creatively speaking, the nature of its training means AI can’t come up with much that’s original or novel.
Given all this, it’s hard to say how AI will change the film industry over the long term with any great degree of certainty, except that with visual element easily and cheaply produced, special effects become less ‘special’ in the immediate future.
Plus, the current limitations of their training mean there’ll be strange inaccuracies that make it too unpleasant, even annoying to place AI center stage without extensive editing work.
But used appropriately, as just another postproduction tool, perhaps AI could enable a return to what matters most to make memorable movies: thrilling performances from actors, beautifully imagined scenes and amazing narratives.
46．Why were special effects used initially
A．To reduce the risks of the performers.
B．To make the actor meet unpleasant fate.
C．To allow the camera to stop and start.
D．To create monsters and spaceships.
47．What is the disadvantage of movie-quality computer graphic before AI
A．Lack of application. B．Bad visual experience.
C．Public objection. D．Costs consuming.
48．What is the main reason for writers and actors to object to the use of AI
A．It results in much unemployment.
B．It is harmful to their copyrights.
C．It is inaccurate in performing.
D．It involves complicated technology.
49．From the passage, we can learn that ______.
A．AI plays the key role in creating fine movies.
B．Employment in movie industry will stay steady.
C．AI can’t create innovative visual effects independently.
D．Large amounts of editing work advocate special effects in movies.
50．What, in the author’s opinion, is the best role that AI should play
A．An aid that improves actors’ performing.
B．A complement to traditional movie production.
C．An economical tool that upsets moving making.
D．A central stage tool that helps movie industry.
D
Since the beginning of the Internet era it has been pretty widely accepted that when you join an online service, whatever data you put into it belongs to you. That’s the way things were — until Facebook came along. Facebook took a different approach. Until recently, everything you put into Faccbook — photos, messages, wall posts, your profile info, and, most significant, your address book — could not be exported anywhere. In effect, you didn’t own your data. Facebook did.
In October it relaxed things a bit with a policy that lets you export most of your stuff, with one glaring exception: the e-mail addresses of the people on your contact list. All you get is a list of names. Facebook says it can’t let you take your friends’ e-mail addresses because that information doesn’t belong to you; it belongs to your friends. Of course this is rubbish. The reality is that Facebook wants to make it difficult, if not impossible, for you to leave.
Now that policy has sparked a fight between Google and Facebook. Google is steamed because its users can, and often do, export their Gmail contact information into Facebook. But those people can’t bring Facebook info back into Gmail.
Earlier this month Google declared it would block exports of its data to services thai don’t reciprocate — meaning guess who. In a countermove, Facebook hacked around Google’s roadblock so its users could keep pulling data from Google.
Google said it was “disappointed” with Facebook’s behavior. It also created a warning screen to tell Gmail users that if they export their information to Facebook they won’t get it back.
Both companies declined to comment on the record for this story. But what’s really going on is that they’re at war. Google views Facebook as a threat to its business and has been trying to launch a social-networking service to compete with it. Facebook has rounded up 500 million people and intends to generate biilions of dollars in revenue (收益) by gathering data about them and selling it to advertisers.
Facebook’s position with rivai tech companies boils down to this: if you want access to all the information we’ve collected, strike a deal with us. Microsoft and Yahoo have done that, and now; like magic, they can export Facebook contact info into their systems, while Google still can’t.
Remember the early days of the Net, when everything was going to be open and free, and we were all going to share information in a techno-utopia That was great until people realized that their user data could be turned into gold. Now there are billions at stake, and nobody is playing nice anymore.
51．Before Facebook appeared, people generally believed that ______.
A．they can join any online service at their own will
B．their online information belongs to online service providers
C．they own all the data they put into online services
D．their online service providers should keep their online info secret
52．What does the author think of Facebook preventing its users exporting their e-mail address to other online services
A．It can ensure the safety of its users’ information.
B．It has quire reasonable explanation.
C．It is one example often seen in online services.
D．It makes leaving Facebook hard for its users.
53．What’s the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 4
A．return the favour B．update in time
C．expand widciy D．guarantee their rights
54．What action did Google take to deal with the threat from Facebook
A．It united Microsoft and Yahoo to fight against what Facebook did.
B．It started to create a social-networking service to fight Facebook.
C．It warned its users of danger of giving away information on Facebook.
D．It created a program preventing Facebook’s hackers browsing its site.
55．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Companies are now prioritizing profit over the original ideals of the Internet.
B．The Internet has become less valuable due to the loss of its open nature.
C．Users are no longer willing to share their data online.
D．The techno-utopia vision of the Internet is still achievable in the future.

Putting down the book I was reading, I turned to my mum Phyllis.
“Next year, when I go to high school...,” I started, thinking of all the novels I’d soon be devouring. But before I could finish my sentence, Mum cut me off.
“There will be no high school,” she said. “We don’t have money for uniforms or school shoes or books.”
It was 1963; I was 12 and had spent the whole of primary school not wearing any shoes, but I dreamed of being a teacher. My family were very poor and my three older siblings hadn’t gone on to high school. Two of them had started work and my older sister stayed home to help mum look after the younger kids. Two weeks before I turned 13, I started cutting threads off shirts in a clothing factory where I met George and later we married.
In time, we had our three kids Darcy, Georgina and Kelly. George found work on cattle stations so we moved to the outback in Western Queensland. I taught our three kids during their primary school years and that scratched my teaching itch a little, but the desire to study more never left me.
“When we retire, I want to go to university,” I told George.
I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. After 40 years in the outback, we retired in 2015 and I seized my chance. At the age of 66, I enrolled in a program with the University of the Sunshine Coast called the Tertiary Preparation Pathway which helped mature students prepare for university.
Next, I enrolled in a BA majoring in English. Walking onto campus that first day in February 2017, it was clear I was the oldest student there but that didn’t put me off in the slightest. My biggest challenge wasn’t the course work; it was the technology. My grandchildren constantly sent me encouraging messages saying, “We’re so proud of you, Granny” or asking how I was doing.
At last, I passed all my subjects with flying colours and when I was invited to graduate, I cried. I couldn’t believe I’d done it. Wearing my black robe and hat, I marched in to Johnny Farnham’s The Voice. I’ll never forget that feeling, waiting in the wings backstage for the Dean to call my name.“This is a wonderful achievement,” he told me as he handed my degree. I couldn’t agree more.
56．Why couldn’t the author go to high school (no more than 15 words)
57．What is the meaning of the underlined word “with flying colours” in the last paragraph (No more than 1 word)
58．How did the author managed to study more when moving to the outback in Western Queensland (no more than 10 words)
59．What program did the author enroll in at the University of the Sunshine Coast (no more than15 words)
60．What can you learn from the passage (No more than 20 words)
