Kwane Stewart stepped outside a Modesto, California, convenience store with his morning coffee and noticed a homeless man, Tom Bissell, sitting with his back against the building. A small dog sat in his lap. Stewart, a vet (兽医) at an animal hospital, noticed its injured fur and skin. He approached the man and offered to bring medication for the dog’s skin, a gift the man readily accepted.
“I remember returning a week later, the hair was coming back and the rash (皮疹) was gone,” Stewart told the Modesto Bee. Tom said his dog was finally sleeping at night again because it was no longer feeling restless for its illness. “‘And you know,’ he said, ‘I’m sleeping at night.’ He started to cry, and that got me touched too,” Stewart said.
Stewart was addicted. “When you do good deeds, there is something you get in return that feels much larger. I knew I wanted to keep doing it,” he told .
Today, Stewart, 50, has his own practice in town, yet he still finds time for street pets. He’s helped roughly 400 animals since 2011.
There’s a great need for his kind of help. About 25 percent of Modesto’s homeless population owns a pet, but there are few healthcare options available to them. To fill that gap, Stewart can often be found wandering dark streets and underpasses (地下通道), anywhere he thinks the homeless might be camped out. Stewart pays for almost all of it out of his own pocket. For those expensive procedures, he set up a GoFundMe account to help cover treatment costs. “I don’t ever want to have to turn anybody away,” he explains.
“To have somebody like Dr. Stewart come out here to take care of my dog just because it’s the right thing to do, that’s huge.” Joe, one of the dog owners, said in a video that Stewart posted on the GoFundMe page.
24. How did Kwane Stewart help Tom Bissell’s dog
A. By offering mental comfort. B. By providing medical treatment.
C. By introducing some famous vets. D. By bringing it to an animal hospital.
25. What directly leads to Kwane Stewart’s further kindness
A. The professional habit of a vet.
B. The tough situation the homeless faced.
C. The requirements from the animal hospital.
D. The inspiration from offering help to Tom.
26. Which of the following can best describe Kwane Stewart
A. Rich and caring. B. Smart and humorous.
C. Kind and generous. D. Brave and intelligent.
27. What’s the text mainly about
A. Vets are in great need. B. Stewart rose to fame overnight.
C. Street pets deserve due treatment. D. A vet’s kind act brings big impact.
C
“Red tourism”, a new form of tourism in which people visit locations and memorials (纪念碑) of historical significance to the Communist Party of China, has given a much-needed shot in the arm of the domestic (国内的) tourism industry in summer. And red tourism will be more popular during the National Day Golden Week holiday.
Ticket bookings for red tourism sites in June increased by five times with local and short trips to red tourism sites being the choice of about 88 percent of such tourists. And the search for the term “red tourism” on Mafengwo, a Chinese travel service and social-networking platform, increased by 300 percent during the summer holidays.
Red tourism is not only about the joy of visiting a new place and taking in the wonderful sights. It is also about gaining knowledge about history and being inspired by the stories of the people who gave their lives to the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949 and worked for the well-being of the Chinese people. By rediscovering history and passing on the stories of the Chinese revolution and its heroes to the next generations, people can uplift their spirit.
Red tourism can also be used as an opportunity to develop rural areas because most of the revolutionary bases and red tourism sites are in the countryside. It can raise the incomes of local people. Since red tourism creates jobs and helps increase farmers’ incomes, it can develop local development.
Data show that in the first half of 2022, more than 30 percent of all tourists visited red tourism sites in rural areas, which was 10 percent more than the last year. Yet red tourism faces certain developmental problems, mainly because some local government officials have failed to make the best use of red tourism resources for local development.
28. What can we know about red tourism
A. It has brought life to tourism. B. It is not popular with the young.
C. It is a traditional form of tourism. D. It is about visiting beautiful scenery.
29. Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 2
A. To describe a scene. B. To prove his idea.
C. To illustrate the story. D. To introduce a platform.
30. What is the benefit of red tourism for rural areas
A. Local people can make more money.
B. It can help improve farming equipment.
C. It can offer job opportunities to visitors.
D. Local people can receive much help from society.
31. What will be mentioned in the following paragraphs
A. More and more people will choose red tourism.
B. Some measures should be taken to solve problems
C. More red tourism sites should be open to the public.
D. Many travel companies will benefit from red tourism.
D
AI is getting better and better at creating illustrations, musics, movies, stories and more. Tools that have risen sharply in popularity since late 2022 are changing the way people create content. AI can help jumpstart a person’s creativity by offering countless ideas, almost instantly.
Kevin Baragona is the founder of Deep AI in San Francisco, California. It’s one of several AI tools people can use to generate artworks or writing in many different styles. “We’re pretty popular among the artistic community where people use us to inspire their own art,” he says.
Deep AI also makes possible entirely new types of content. Baragona says you’ll soon be able to generate Hollywood-quality movies to fit your tastes. “And the same thing with audio (音频),” he adds. “We’ll generate music just for you. It’s going to be pretty cool.”
Not everyone is happy about AI’s introduction into artistic fields, though. Some artists and writers object to their work being used to train AI models without their permission. And in 2023, Hollywood screenwriters and actors went on strike (罢工), partially because of concerns about how AI-generated writing and acting could change the movie business. These walkouts ended up getting some limits about how AI can be used to write scripts (剧本) and describe actors and characters.
As people get used to AI and society establishes guidelines for its use, we might become more welcoming about its place in art. For example, consider the game of chess. AI can defeat the strongest human grand masters at the game, yet people still play and compete. They now use AI to train and to develop new strategies. Chess is more popular than ever, and AI may be part of the reason. Visual artist Matt Saunders told the Harvard Gazette newspaper, “We should be thankful to be challenged and knocked out of our habits!”
32. What does the underlined word “jumpstart” mean in paragraph 1
A. Illustrate. B. Kill. C. Lower. D. Promote.
33. What do we know about Deep AI according to Kevin Baragona
A. Many artists may find it helpful.
B. Many artists feel challenged by it.
C. It is famous for Hollywood movies.
D. It is owned by an artistic community.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Limits on using AI. B. Reasons for a strike.
C. Negative attitudes to AI. D. Worries about losing jobs.
35. What might be the author’s attitude toward using AI
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Objective.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Ways Your Cell Phone Affects Your Body and Mind
First, some good news. Your phone can keep you safer. A study found that 137 more lives were saved per 100,000 patients when people called 911 from a mobile phone rather than from a fixed one. 36
Scanning your phone right before bed can cause sleep disorder. To avoid that, make a habit of not using your phone for at least 30 minutes before you close your eyes.
37 People now spend more than five hours a day typing and tapping, and feel eyes achy. About 60 percent of Americans experience discomfort, such as dryness, eye tiredness, and even headaches. Try taking a break from screens every 20 minutes.
When you are awake, a single sound on your phone can signal the coming news. However, this can weaken your ability to focus on a task. 38 It can even encourage creative ideas when you are alone. When you’re bored, four different areas of your brain become active and work together to pull in thoughts and combine them in unique ways.
Memory suffers too. 39 Instead of relying on the instructions from your phone’s GPS, older adults choose the old way, which increases activity in a part of the brain important for memory. Taking pictures with your phone may also harm your memory.
It would be easy to avoid all these problems by simply putting down your phone. The problem: It isn’t so easy. 40 And researches have proved this real. Of course, there are many phone apps to help you control your phone addiction. Or you can just let the battery rundown and forget about it!
A. Your phone can do damage to your eyes.
B. Silence your phone or simply put it away can help.
C. Walking with your face in your phone can be dangerous.
D. People may feel painful when separated from their phones.
E. Your hand may feel painful when you hold your phone too long.
F. But using cell phones for too long can bring plenty of worries too.
G. Using a map and trying to remember it may be better for your brain.

The summer break had started. Bilal, a teenager, was excited to finally have the free time to play video games on his PlayStation and endlessly surf the internet on his phone. The digital world was his playground, a place where he could escape into adventures and challenges that kept him entertained for hours on end.
His parents were tired of always trying to stop him, constantly telling him that spending so much time online and on social media wasn’t good for his physical health. But Bilal never listened. He was very addicted to the e-world.
One day, after getting fed up, his mother discussed Bilal with his grandparents. “Is there any way we can get him away from this internet world ” she asked in despair.
His grandfather replied, “Yes, there is a way. I am planning to visit our village for a week. I am thinking of taking Bilal along. It will be a new experience for him to see a simple lifestyle. Besides, the internet signals are very bad there, so he won’t be able to stay online very often.”
His mother was happy to hear this. “That’s a very good idea,” she replied, hopeful that this could be the turning point for Bilal.
She excitedly went and shared it with Bilal, hoping he would be happy about going with his grandparents, but he refused, saying the trip would be boring without the internet. “How would I spend my days ” he complained.
Just then his grandmother entered the room and explained calmly to him that it would be an exciting trip. She spoke of the beauty of nature, the joy of community, and the simple pleasures of life away from screens. She told him stories of the village, of the stars at night and the fresh air that filled the lungs with life.

Traditional Chinese festivals are of great significance. They enable us to learn more about fine Chinese values. Additionally, traditional festivals are a source of national pride and help shape our national identity.
The Spring Festival, a meaningful and time-honored traditional Chinese festival, is my favorite. Nothing compares to the joy of reuniting with family, sharing dumplings, and watching the Spring Festival gala. Besides, the excitement of receiving red envelopes and the sound of fireworks symbolize good wishes for new starts, filling me with hope and happiness for the coming days.
Hopefully, our young generation will take on the responsibility of promoting traditional festivals and passing down their cultural essence.

Two days later, Bilal’s grandparents started their journey. Bilal went along with them. After arriving at their old house, which was quite large and open, they had dinner with their relatives. The next morning, Bilal went to the fields, where the farmers greeted him warmly. Bilal wandered around the fields full of beautiful flowers and fruit trees. He explored the cotton fields, learning how farmers harvest the crops. He also participated in the work. Additionally, Bilal made friends with the village children and played outdoor games. He felt so interested in the new experience that he didn’t even miss playing video games.
A week passed quickly and it was time for Bilal to return. He didn’t want to leave because he had started enjoying the simple village life that brought him many new enriching experiences. His grandparents promised him that they would return to the place annually during his summer breaks. On the journey back, Bilal thought that coming to the village was the best thing that had happened to him. He had experienced a new lifestyle, enjoyed quality time, and made wonderful memories—all without the internet!
