Charli XCX, whose real name is Charlotte Aitchison, was born on August 2, 1992, in Cambridge, England. She is a British pop singer known for creating fresh, electronic-style music. After working in music for more than ten years, she finally found huge success with her sixth album Brat in 2024.
Charli started making music at age 14 using money borrowed from her parents to record her first songs. She posted these early tracks online in 2008, which led to her performing at small music events in London. She picked her stage name “Charli XCX” simply because she liked how it sounded, and signed with a record company called Asylum in 2010.
Her big break came unexpectedly in 2013 when another music group, Icona Pop from Sweden, released a song she had written called I Love It that became a worldwide hit. Her first album True Romance(2013) earned good reviews, followed by popular team-ups like Fancy with rapper Iggy Azalea(2014) and Boom Clap for the movie The Fault in Our Stars. Her second album Sucker(2014) reachedNo.15 on British music charts, marking her first major commercial success.
Starting in 2016, Charli began trying more unusual styles of pop music. She worked with producer Sophie on an EP called Vroom and started her own music label. She released two mixtapes(Number 1 Angel and Pop 2 in 2017), followed by albums Charli(2019), How I'm Feeling Now(2020), and Crash(2022). More people noticed her music in 2023 when her song Speed Drive appeared in the Barbie movie.
Her 2024 album Brat became her most successful work yet, entering the Billboard 200 chart atNo.3. The album features direct, honest song words based on messages she sent to her friends. The album's bright green color style was even used in a presidential campaign.
Throughout her career, Charli has mixed experimental sounds with radio-friendly pop, working with artists like Troye Sivan and Lorde. She remains known as a musician who constantly tries new ideas while keeping her music enjoyable for listeners.

Over 400 endangered olive ridley sea turtles have been washed ashore near Chennai, India, in just two weeks—a death event that hasn't been seen in over 20 years. These migratory turtles, known to travel thousands of miles to nest on India's eastern coast, face combined threats from habitat loss, illegal fishing and climate pressures.
Shravan Krishnan, a conservation volunteer, noted Chennai's coastline typically records 100-200adult turtle deaths annually. “This year, we' ve already crossed 200 deaths in two weeks,” he said, adding that only four nests have been found this season because the eggs are damaged by beach-goers or eaten by dogs. Meanwhile, Odisha state—— home to the mass nesting phenomenon Arribada— hosts over500,000 turtles yearly, yet merely 0.1% of baby turtles survive to adulthood.
Experts blame the sudden rise in deaths on illegal trawl(拖网) fishing. Despite a 2016 rule limiting trawlers within five miles of shore during nesting season and requiring turtle excluder devices(TEDs) in nets, people don't follow the rules well. “TEDs reduce catch efficiency, so fishers throw them away,” said marine specialist Shantanu Kalambi. Trawl net s trap turtles underwater, killing them by making them unable to breathe underwater within hours.
Olive ridleys, already at risk, face existential threats: decreasing nesting beaches, plastic pollution, and rising temperatures that change the number of male and female baby turtles. Light pollution further confuses newborns, leading them away from the sea. Wildlife guardian Manish Meena emphasized efforts to educate fishers and send out coastguards, but enforcement gaps continue.
The species’ survival is critical to marine ecosystems. By eating jellyfish, olive ridleys prevent rapid increases in the jellyfish population that could upset the balance of fishing industries. “They’ve lived well for millions of years,” Kalambi warned, “yet human actions now push them toward extinction.”
With over 900 turtle deaths recorded in 2014, the current crisis highlights the need for stronger laws and habitat protection. Even as conservationists work to save nests and stop illegal fishing, the future of these ancient creatures remains uncertain.
8. What do figures in paragraph 2 indicate about the turtles
A. They face severe survival conditions. B. Their nesting sites are well-protected.
C. Their behaviors are complex. D. They, are seldom affected by humans.
9. What is the function of TEDs in trawl nets
A. To protect turtles from being trapped. B. To increase catch efficiency.
C. To reduce plastic pollution. D. To make fishers follow the fishing rules.
10. Why does the author mention jellyfish
A. To argue against fishing industries. B. To show turtles' role in marine balance.
C. To highlight climate impact on jellyfish. D. To compare jellyfish to other turtle threats.
11. What can we infer from the text
A. Trawl fishing has decreased significantly since 2016.
B. Most baby turtles survive to adulthood in Odisha.
C. Current protection laws are not strictly enforced.
D. Government policies have successfully protected turtles.
D
For 14-year-old Makenzie Gilkison, dyslexia, a reading disorder, once made spelling words like “rhinoceros” or “sarcastic” a really tough challenge, undermining her confidence. “I just assumed I was stupid,” she recalled. Today, AI-powered tools—— including a customized chatbot and text-to-speech programs—— help her keep up academically. Last year, she earned National Junior Honor Society recognition, crediting assistive technologies for her progress. “I would have probably given up without them,” she said.
Makenzie’ s story reflects a broader change as schools fast-track AI applications to support students with disabilities. The US Education Department now requires schools to consider assistive technologies like text-to-speech tools, while new Justice Department rules demand that digital content be accessible. AI's potential is huge: translating complex texts, generating study outlines, and offering personalized tutoring through digital figures. For instance, Ben Snyder, a New York freshman with learning challenges, uses AI to figure out math problems and simplify assignments. “It explains things in ways I understand,” he said, though he avoids full AI-written essays. “That's cheating,” he added.
However, challenges still exist. Educators warn against over-reliance, stressing that AI should support— not replace—— skill development. “If reading growth is a goal, the student must practice,” noted Mary Lawson of the Council of the Great City Schools. Moral concerns also arise, such as AI accidentally showing disabilities or tracking students into less challenging programs. Meanwhile, technical problems remain. For example, speech recognition and handwriting analysis tools for children with speech problems are not as accurate as those designed for adults.
Despite risks, advocates emphasize AI's transformative role. “It provides equal opportunities for all students,” said Paul Sanft, a Minnesota assistive technology director. Schools like Makenzie's district now use chatbots to empower special education students. “Teachers cried hearing about it,” said Nadine Gilkison, a tech supervisor. “Students no longer need to wait for help—— they can move forward independently.”
As the National Science Foundation funds AI research and districts check tools for accessibility , the focus remains on balancing innovation with responsibility. For students like Makenzie, AI isn't a shortcut——it's a lifeline to unlock potential once held back by disability.
12. What does the underlined word “undermining” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Strengthening. B. Ignoring. C. Building. D. Weakening.
13. Why does Ben Snyder avoid using AI to write entire essays
A. AI cannot match his writing style. B. He believes it goes against academic honesty.
C. His learning disability makes AI unreliable. D. His school outlaws all AI applications.
14. Which concern do educators emphasize regarding AI in special education
A. Reduced teacher-student interaction. B. High costs of developing AI systems.
C. Difficulty of accessing technical support. D. Risk of replacing essential skill practice.
15. Which is the best title for the text
A. AI Empowers Students with Disabilities B. Dangers of AI in Modern Education
C. Teachers Struggle with New Technology D. History of Assistive Tools in Schools

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。
The approach to human innovation by learning from nature is called biomimetic(仿生学的) design. 16 — from buildings to biomimetic cars. Here are some examples.
17 . Despite the weighty appearance of the boxfish, it has low flow resistance. In 2005,inspired by the great structural strength and low mass of the boxfish, Mercedes Benz developed the Bionic Car, which was reported to reduce air resistance, have high strength, low weight, and much lower fuel use compared to traditional cars.
Candy-coated vaccines. Tardigrades are animals that live in water. Without water, tardigrades dry out but have developed the incredible ability to come back to life after more than 100 years. 18 .Inspired by this idea, several biotech companies adapted the process to protect live vaccines so that they no longer need to be refrigerated.
Termite(白蚁) buildings. African termites have developed some clever designs to keep their houses at a .nearly steady temperature, though, outside, it may swing from 40℃ in the day to less than 2℃ at night. Termites construct their houses with a special cooling system. Architect Mick Pearce used a similar strategy when he designed the East Gate Center, an office complex in Harare, Zimbabwe. The building remains cool without the need for air conditioning. 19 .
Sharkskin-inspired swimsuits. The unique surface of sharkskin reduces water resistance and inhibits the growth of tiny water plants. 20 . These suits, used in competitive swimming, copy the tiny ridges of sharkskin to improve speed and efficiency in water, helping swimmers break many world records.
A. Boxfish and the Bionic Car
B. Such methods are becoming increasingly popular
C. There is no universal definition of biodesign as such
D. This inspired the design of high-performance swimsuits
E. They do this by coating their internal systems, such as DNA and proteins, in sugar
F. As a result, it consumes only a tenth of the energy used by a conventional building
G. There are many miracles in nature that have inspired many of our greatest creations

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。
WINNING
Sarah Johnson stood at the starting line of the school track meeting. She had never lost a race, but she still felt nervous. She looked at the other runners. They all seemed to have their own problems. But one runner caught her eye. She looked perfect. Sarah thought this runner might beat her. She was a freshman named Alex. Alex turned and saw Sarah's shoes. She smiled and gave Sarah a thumbs-up. Sarah noticed how strong Alex's legs looked, as if she practiced every single day.
The announcer started to explain the race, but Sarah wasn't really listening. She kept looking at Alex. Suddenly, Sarah's heart sank. She knew Alex wouldn't win. When Alex tied her shoelaces, one lace got caught on something and came loose. But Alex didn't notice. She smiled at Sarah again and gave another thumbs-up. Sarah felt bad, but she didn't want to ruin her own chance of winning by saying anything. Her coach's words played in her mind: “Good runners never miss an advantage.”
The race began. Most runners did well, but no one ran faster than 12 seconds for the 100-meter dash. Sarah watched the others struggle, and it made her feel uneasy. Her own knees felt strangely weak today— maybe from skipping warm-ups to watch Alex's perfect practice runs. She had never felt this way before.
Sarah thought about Alex's loose shoelace. She wondered if she should tell her. She was so lost in thought that she didn't hear her name being called. When she finally heard it, she was startled(受惊吓的).She got into position. Her hands were shaking as she got ready. She took a deep breath and focused. When the starting gun went off, she ran at high speed and finished in 11. 5 seconds. She walked off the track and caught her breath, and then she heard Alex's name.
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。
Alex walked to the starting line and was ready.
Alex rushed off the track in an astonishing 11.3 seconds and ran straight towards Sarah with thankfulness.
