Fiona McIntyre is a taxi driver in London. She tells us about her work and some of her experiences.Q: When did you start
I’ve been a taxi driver for about five years. Before that I was a bus driver in London, and I enjoyed it, but I wanted more freedom so I changed and started driving my taxi.Q: Have you ever had any famous passengers
Oh yes. I’ve had film stars, politicians, you know, lots of famous people. About a year ago, a really famous actor got in my taxi. I took him to the airport. We were stuck on the way and it took a long time to get there, so he missed his plane and failed to meet his fans. It wasn’t my fault but when he got out of the taxi, he shouted at me angrily! I said to him, “Next time, take a bus!”Q: Have passengers ever left anything in your taxi
Oh yes! People have left all kinds of things — a suitcase, a hat, mobile phones, of course, even a dog once! Years ago, a woman left a pair of shoes on the seat. And one time a passenger left his teeth here! Not real teeth, of course — false teeth.
And people have asked me to do some strange jobs. Once a doctor stopped me outside a hospital and asked me to take a skeleton to another hospital. Professors usually use skeletons to teach medical students, you know. And I did. But I asked him to pay first — the skeleton couldn’t pay, after all!Q: 5
Good question. I’ve always enjoyed being a taxi driver and I don’t want to change. But of course, sometimes, it’s not great. I don’t like driving around without a passenger, but it’s better than just waiting at the airport or at a railway station. I think that’s the worst part-waiting.

Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题)
Sophia’s Big Day
It was Sophia Taylor’s big day. As a reporter for her school newspaper, she would interview Ramon Fuller today, the star player for the Green-port football team.
To Sophia, this meant a lot. She planned to be a professional football player, just like Ramon. Sophia’s dad, Dr. Philip Taylor, said YES to her but only allowed her to train after she finished her homework. “Work hard in all areas, and many things are possible,” he often said seriously.
At school, Sophia went over the questions again and again before the big hour came. When she finally saw Fuller, Sophia was surprised to find he didn’t look like the exciting player she saw on TV. He seemed steady (稳重的) in a suit. For some reason, he reminded Sophia of her brother.
Sophia began to ask Fuller how he got started in sports.
“My talent showed early,” Fuller continued to tell Sophia how he won competitions and became famous. “But I hurt my knee in my last year of high school, That was when I met my hero.”
“Who was that ” Sophia was interested.
“Dr. Philip Taylor,” Fuller smiled.
“My dad ” Sophia shouted, “Why was he your hero ”
Fuller told Sophia how her father encouraged him to do his best in football after treating his knee. But with four operations on the knee, he couldn’t imagine playing football for long. Then Dr Taylor advised him to explore more possibilities.
“That’s why I started studying medicine in the university,” Fuller continued. “When I retire from football, I want to be a doctor like your father.”
“But you are rich enough,” Sophia felt curious. “You don’t have to work.”
“It’s not about money,” Fuller said. “I want to achieve more with my life. Work hard in all areas. And many things are possible.”
The words were familiar, but this time they made more sense to Sophia. She couldn’t wait to tell her new hero about her big day.
58．What was Sophia Taylor’s job for school newspaper
59．Why did Sophia’s father only allow her to train after she finished her homework
60．How did Fuller look when Sophia interviewed him, exciting or steady
61．What happened to Fuller in his last year of high school
62．How did Dr. Philip Taylor influence Ramon Fuller’s football career
63．Who was Sophia’s new hero Why did Sophia think it was a big day for her
【答案】58．A reporter. 59．Because he thinks many things are possible if she works hard. 60．He looked steady. 61．He hurt his knee. 62．He advised him to explore more possibilities. 63．Her father. Because she realized that many things are possible if she works hard.
【导语】本文主要介绍Sophia Taylor采访了著名足球明星Ramon Fuller，知道她的父亲是Fuller的英雄。从采访中她明白了如果她在各方面努力，许多事情都是可能的。
58．根据第一段“As a reporter for her school newspaper ...”可知，Sophia Taylor是校报的一位记者。故填A reporter.
59．根据第二段“Sophia’s dad, Dr. Philip Taylor, said YES to her but only allowed her to train after she finished her homework. ‘Work hard in all areas, and many things are possible,’ he often said seriously.”可知，Sophia的爸爸Philip Taylor答应只有在她完成作业后才允许训练，他经常严肃地说：“在各方面努力，很多事情都是可能的。”由此可知，Sophia的爸爸认为如果她努力学习，很多事情都是可能的。故填Because he thinks many things are possible if she works hard.
60．根据第三段“Sophia was surprised to find he didn’t look like the exciting player she saw on TV. He seemed steady ...”可知，Sophia认为Ramon Fuller看起来不像电视上那么令人激动，而是很稳重的。故填He looked steady.
61．根据第五段“But I hurt my knee in my last year of high school”可知，Ramon Fuller在高中的最后一年膝盖受伤了。故填He hurt his knee.
62．根据第九段“Then Dr Taylor advised him to explore more possibilities.”可知，Philip Taylor建议Ramon Fuller探索更多的可能性。故填He advised him to explore more possibilities.
63．根据倒数第二段“Work hard in all areas. And many things are possible.”，最后一段“The words were familiar, but this time they made more sense to Sophia. She couldn’t wait to tell her new hero about her big day.”以及前文可知，Ramon Fuller说：“在各个方面努力工作，很多事情都是可能的。”而这些话很对于Sophia来说熟悉，因为她的父亲Philip Taylor也对她说过这样的话，所以她迫不及待地想把这个大日子告诉她的新偶像。由此可知Sophia的新偶像就是她的父亲；她之所以认为那是一个大日子，是因为通过采访她明白了父亲说的“在各个方面努力工作，很多事情都是可能的。”故填Her father. Because she realized that many things are possible if she works hard.

【答案】例文
As a community volunteer, I am excited to propose two activities to celebrate the inclusion of Chinese New Year in the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. These activities will help spread the rich traditions of Chinese New Year within our community.
One of the best ways to experience a culture is through its food. I propose organizing a Chinese New Year Food Sharing Event where community members can bring their favorite traditional dishes, such as dumplings, rice cakes, and spring rolls. Another activity is a workshop for making traditional Chinese handicrafts, such as paper-cutting. This workshop can include both elderly residents, who can share their knowledge and skills, and children.
In the end, by participating in these events, residents can gain a deeper understanding of the traditions and values associated with this important festival. Let’s come together to celebrate our rich cultural heritage!

In the beginning of computer technology, machines were quite stupid. They could 16 do what people told them to do, and computers didn’t have the 17 to do anything complex. Slowly, that began to change. In 1989, two AI programs, HiTech and Deep Thought, showed advanced problem-solving skills after they 18 human masters in the game of chess. It was then that people began to see the true potential (潜能) of AI.

She was interviewed by the press and was even given Saudi Arabian citizenship. And more 22 , Sophia spoke at Brain Bar, which describes itself as “The Biggest European Festival of the future”. It is clear from the video that Sophia continues to improve and update. The robot even says that “just a few months ago, I couldn’t tell a dog’s face from a human’s face, but now I can.

Fiona McIntyre is a taxi driver in London. She tells us about her work and some of her experiences.Q: When did you start
I’ve been a taxi driver for about five years. Before that I was a bus driver in London, and I enjoyed it, but I wanted more freedom so I changed and started driving my taxi.Q: Have you ever had any famous passengers
Oh yes. I’ve had film stars, politicians, you know, lots of famous people. About a year ago, a really famous actor got in my taxi. I took him to the airport. We were stuck on the way and it took a long time to get there, so he missed his plane and failed to meet his fans. It wasn’t my fault but when he got out of the taxi, he shouted at me angrily! I said to him, “Next time, take a bus!”Q: Have passengers ever left anything in your taxi
Oh yes! People have left all kinds of things — a suitcase, a hat, mobile phones, of course, even a dog once! Years ago, a woman left a pair of shoes on the seat. And one time a passenger left his teeth here! Not real teeth, of course — false teeth.
And people have asked me to do some strange jobs. Once a doctor stopped me outside a hospital and asked me to take a skeleton to another hospital. Professors usually use skeletons to teach medical students, you know. And I did. But I asked him to pay first — the skeleton couldn’t pay, after all!Q: 5
Good question. I’ve always enjoyed being a taxi driver and I don’t want to change. But of course, sometimes, it’s not great. I don’t like driving around without a passenger, but it’s better than just waiting at the airport or at a railway station. I think that’s the worst part-waiting.

A．What do you think of the future of a taxi driver
B．What do you think is the worst part of your job
C．What do you do when there are no passengers
D．What do you do when you’re waiting for passengers
