Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student. So at the start of my freshman year, I had an aversion to math. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do well, but simply, that I didn’t think I was able to do well. “I can’t” became my state of mind in all things related to math.
However, I was soon to learn that “I can’t” was not a choice in Mr. Green’s class.
Mr. Green always greeted us with open arms as he said, “Welcome! Smile! It’s a great day to be alive!” It was clear that Mr. Green had a true passion (热情) not only for math but for teaching. If Mr. Green ever experienced bad days in life, he never showed it. Mr. Green greeted us with that same smile every day. He encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “I can’t” student.
I found myself looking forward to math class, although I still hated the subject itself. Being in Mr. Green’s presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed. As the year progressed, I spent increasingly more time on my homework, and I met with Mr. Green weekly. My classmates began to do the same, and it became “cool” to have lunch and talk with Mr. Green. We didn’t know it at that time, but he was changing our attitudes.
Though my story is not one of overnight success and I didn’t become a straight-A math student, my hard work did begin to pay off and my grades slowly. began to climb. There were hard times, of course. Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Mr. Green kept reminding (提醒) me, “Kate, smile! It’s a great day to be alive!”
4. What does the underlined word “aversion” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Dream. B. Dislike. C. Duty. D. Passion.
5. What first made the author look forward to math class
A. Her friends’ encouragement. B. Her interest in math.
C. Mr. Green’s attitude. D. The top achievers in her class.
6. How did the author change in math
A. She made slow progress. B. She fell in love with math.
C. She became a straight-A math student. D. She became comfortable with hard math.
7. Which of the following can best describe Mr. Green
A. Honest and humorous. B. Strong and friendly.
C. Strict and responsible. D. Passionate and active.
C
San Francisco’s waterfront (海滨) is on the National Register of Historic Places for good reason.
Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies—from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. The future of San Francisco’s waterfront, however, isn’t safe.
In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the U. S.’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise. The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under increasing threat from floods and rising sea levels brought on by human-driven climate change. St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles face similar challenges to San Francisco.
“The whole issue of climate change and historic preservation intersects (交织) right at the waterfront,” said Elaine Forbes, director of the Port of San Francisco. As she watched the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon, Forbes said, “Sea level rise hasn’t historically been as much of a threat to San Francisco as major earthquakes.” However, that’s changed. Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century.
Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline. But the growing magnitude and frequency of the climate-related threats, the high costs and effort needed in saving heritage sites, and competing ideas about what’s worth saving and what isn’t, can make it hard for cities to know what to do first.
8. What is San Francisco’s waterfront famous for
A. Old landmarks. B. Famous beaches.
C. Beautiful bridges. D. Comfortable climate.
9. What challenge is the waterfront facing
A. The loss of public support. B. The threat from rising sea levels.
C. The influence of tourist activities. D. The competition from other cities.
10. Why is the earthquake mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To give an example of existing threats. B. To stress the seriousness of sea level rise.
C. To compare different types of natural disasters. D. To show the difficulty in the waterfront protection.
11. What can be learned from the text
A. Heritage sites are in ruins. B. Threats have been removed.
C. The shoreline has been flooded. D. Solutions are under consideration.
D
If you’re someone who has been worrying about the rise of the robots—hold on there just a second, and let them help you impress your friends with some newfound skills in a foreign language. Using artificial intelligence (AI) to help us learn and improve those skills is not new—some of the online language tools we turn to every day are powered by AI.
But as new technologies flood into the market, now is a great time to take advantage of the tech. And according to experts, these tools aren’t replacing teachers—they’re making their lives easier. One of the things that stops some of us from practicing speaking in a new language is a lack of self-confidence. AI can help—chatbots don’t judge you. Of course, teachers don’t either, but for some people, communicating with a bot may erase that fear of failure or shyness.
The latest chatbots use something called natural language processing that allows them to understand human speech or writing, providing a human-like response right away. While chatbots are extremely useful for learners working individually, teachers can also offer course material and ask an AI system to produce personalized textbooks for groups of students. The AI can also provide feedback (反馈) in seconds—gone are the days of waiting a week for work to be graded.
Past online language tools and games were able to tell you when you were wrong, but they weren’t always able to explain why. Now, not only has that changed, but the explanations are detailed and immediate. But this is not to underestimate the role of the teacher, who can use the technology to help learn more about the strengths and shortcomings of their students and personalize their teaching.
So, if you want to impress your friends with your perfect speech, don’t be afraid of AI. Just think of it as a useful tool for both teachers and language learners, which will give you more time and space to enjoy learning something new!
12. What is the main idea of the article
A. The dangers of Al-robots.
B. The history of online language tools.
C. The benefits of AI in language learning.
D. The role of teachers in the modern classroom.
13. Why might someone prefer communicating with a bot
A. Because bots grade work faster.
B. Because bots provide textbooks.
C. Because bots are more knowledgeable.
D. Because bots may remove the fear of failure or shyness.
14. What is the benefit of AI producing personalized textbooks
A. It saves time for teachers. B. It reduces the cost of education.
C. It meets individual students’ needs. D. It provides detailed lesson plans.
15. What word might replace the underlined word “shortcoming” in paragraph 4
A. weakness. B. awareness. C. witness. D. darkness.

47. 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。
The peaceful little town Cherry wood Dale was made up of colorful houses, each one home to a warm-hearted family. The neighbors were the salt of the earth, always ready to lend a helping hand to one another. However, among them was an exception, an old man named Mr. Johnson, who lived alone in a small cottage.
Mr. Johnson was known for his excellent gardening skills. His gift for gardening had turned his backyard into a beautiful rose garden. However, his passionate devotion to gardening had left him with little time for personal life. His only company was his beloved roses.
Not far from Mr. Johnson’s cottage lived a young couple, Tom and Emily. They were the complete opposite of Mr. Johnson—lively and sociable, always up to something new and exciting. Their home was always filled with the sound of laughter and good cheer. They had a young son named Charlie, who was Mr. Johnson’s favorite neighbor. Charlie’s infectious laughter and boundless energy brought some life to Mr. Johnson’s quiet existence.
One day, Charlie decided to surprise Mr. Johnson by decorating his front yard for the upcoming Harvest Festival. He knew how much Mr. Johnson loved autumn and the changing of the leaves. Charlie enlisted the help of his parents and set to work, painting pumpkins(南瓜)and hanging decorations. They were so caught up in their creation that they ended up accidentally stepping on Mr. Johnson’s prize-winning roses.
The next morning, Mr. Johnson came out of his cottage and saw the beautiful display, his face shining with delight. But his smile quickly turned into a frown(皱眉)when he saw the destroyed roses. He called over Tom and Emily, who were equally displeased by what had happened. They apologized sincerely, promising to replace the roses, but Mr. Johnson was unmoved. The once friendly neighbors became locked in an uneasy standoff. Charlie was heartbroken, not understanding why Mr. Johnson wouldn’t accept their apology.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

Then one afternoon, Emily decided to make the first move.

Recently we have held a heated discussion about the problem whether mankind should explore space or not.Different people about it has different opinions.
Some people hold the view that space exploration will not only enable us to understand how the universe develop but also help farming to grow more food and apply the new technology to our life. While other people argue that we should stop exploring space because it costs too much time and money.
From my point of view，it is very necessary for human to explore space.Because it not only can provide the world with many different benefits，but also can solve people's short term and long term problems.

Then one afternoon, Emily decided to make the first move. She went to local florist’s and asked around for the roses that looked like Mr. Johnson’s. Immediately she managed to replace the destroyed roses and tended the delicate flowers cautiously with the help of Tom and Charlie. Seeing the thoughtful acts, Mr. Johnson finally realized that he overreacted that day and made an apology for his misbehavior. However, what the family cared most was whether what they did could make for his loss and cheered him up.
Mr. Johnson was moved by the three’s sincere understanding. He made up his mind to take care of the roses together with the family. As the Harvest Festival approached, the flowers unfolded smiles gradually, which revived his garden. Mr. Johnson expressed how he loved the works of art Charlie created. He even invited the whole family to dinner in his cottage where laughter and happiness had never existed before. The roses, though once destroyed, brought Mr. Johnson something more precious—kindness and genuineness as well as an open heart.
