(2024·安徽淮北一模)
My earliest reading memory takes me back to being five years old，sitting in my grandfather's cozy study．He would read to me from his French-translated copy of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book．I was so familiar with the stories that I could correct him word-for-word if he tried to change something．
Growing up，my favorite book was Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes．It was a treasure for an imaginative and lonely child like me．The book was filled with magical elements：a magical carousel，monsters，and the charming scent of autumn leaves lying in the sun．The language was as crisp and sweet as an October apple，awakening in me a deep passion for words and the magic they could bring out．I've reread it regularly and it never fails to satisfy me．
In my adult years，I revisited Emily Bront 's Wuthering Heights．When I first read it at 16，I perceived it as a love story．However，rereading it as an adult，I was struck by how different it seemed to me，and how much of the humour I'd missed．Now I love its poetry．And the love story not only exists between the characters but between Bront and the North York Moors．
James Joyce's Ulysses was a book I came back to after 40 years．Initially，at 15，I found it ugly，depressing，and dull，and I hated it．It took me four decades to return to it，and this time，I found myself understanding and beginning to appreciate it．I could see the details，the mythic parallels，the references to different writing styles，and the groundbreaking technique．
Though some exceptional books can develop and grow alongside us，others fall by the wayside．I've revisited so many childhood favourites only to find the magic gone，but I'm usually happy to leave the book behind．I've taken from it what I need．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己重温文学经典的经历。
4．What was the author's earliest reading memory？( )
A．Copying the stories of Rudyard Kipling．
B．Reading Something Wicked This Way Comes．
C．Studying Ulysses for writing styles．
D．Listening to The Jungle Book in French．

A．The complex plot．
B．The characters．
C．The humour and poetry．
D．The love story．
C [细节理解题。根据第三段可知，成年后作者再读《呼啸山庄》感觉它不再只是一个爱情故事，作者欣赏其中的幽默并喜欢书里的诗歌。]

B．Lose their original attraction．
C．Gain widespread popularity．

(2024·浙江宁波二模)
Laughter comes in many forms，from a polite chuckle to an infectious howl of amusement．Scientists are now developing an AI system that can copy various forms of laughter accurately．The team behind the laughing robot，Erica，say that the system could improve natural conversations between people and AI systems．
Dr．Koji Inoue，lead author of the research from Kyoto University，highlights empathy (共情) as a crucial aspect of conversational AI，suggesting laughter sharing as a means for robots to connect with users．To achieve this，Inoue and his team gathered data from over 80 speed dating dialogues between male students and Erica，initially operated by amateur actors．
Dialogue data labeled for individual，social，and joyful laughter was used to train an AI system to identify and produce fitting laughter responses．Based on the audio files，the algorithm (算法) learned their subtle differences，aiming to imitate social laughs subtly and hearty laughs empathetically．
“Our biggest challenge in this work was identifying the actual cases of shared laughter，” explained Inoue，emphasizing the need for careful categorization．Erica's “sense of humor” was tested with four dialogues，integrating the new shared-laughter algorithm．These were compared to cases where Erica didn't laugh or emitted social laughs upon detecting laughter．
The clips were played to 130 volunteers who rated the shared-laughter algorithm highly for empathy and naturalness．The team believed laughter could imbue robots with unique character traits，including conversational behaviors like laughter，eye gaze，gestures，and speaking style．However，Inoue acknowledged it could take over 20 years to have a “casual chat with a robot like we would with a friend．”
Professor Sandra Wachter，of the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford，said，“One of the things I'd keep in mind is that a robot or an algorithm will never be able to understand you．It doesn't understand the meaning of laughter．They fail to feel，but they might get very good at making you believe they understand what's going on．”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍科学家正在研究的一款可以笑的机器人。
8．Why do scientists develop the AI system that can copy various forms of laughter？( )
A．To make robots sound more human-like．
B．To help robots understand human emotions better．
C．To enable robots to have a sense of humor like humans．
D．To enhance the emotional interaction between people and AI systems．
D [推理判断题。由文章第一段最后一句可知，科学家开发了一种可以复制各种笑声的人工智能系统，以增强人与人工智能系统之间的情感互动。故选D。]
9．What was the challenge Inoue faced while working on this project？( )
A．Creating an algorithm that can genuinely feel amusement．
B．Identifying the situations where laughter is truly understood．
C．Distinguishing between different types of laughter accurately．
D．Collecting sufficient data for training the machine learning system．
B [推理判断题。由文章第四段可知，Inoue在这个项目中面临的挑战是确定笑声被真正理解的情况。故选B。]
10．What does the underlined word “imbue” mean in paragraph 5？( )
A．Equip． B．Inspire．
C．Engage． D．Influence．
A [词义猜测题。由文章第五段第一、二句可推测，这里表示笑声可以赋予机器人独特的性格特征，所以猜测imbue是“使……具备”的意思。故选A。]
11．What is Professor Sandra Wachter's view on laughing robots？( )
A．They are not capable of capturing human laughter．
B．They can imitate laughter but lack thorough comprehension．
C．It is possible for them to play tricks on humans occasionally．
D．It will take long before humans have comfortable conversations with them．
B [推理判断题。由文章最后一段Sandra Wachter所说的话可知，Sandra Wachter认为会笑的机器人可以模仿笑声，但缺乏全面的理解能力。故选B。]

My nine-year-old daughter，Vivien，is a little princess．Under 1 circumstances，she can't even pour herself a glass of milk．So when I came home 2 with fever，my first thought was，“How would Vivien react？”
At 3：30 pm，I 3 myself out of bed and drove to pick her up．On the way home，I said，“Sweetheart，Mommy's really sick．Can you fix your own meal tonight？” “That's okay，”she replied 4 ．
When we arrived home，I 5 back to bed．Every now and then，I would wake from a feverish sleep to find a little angel 6 over me with some goodwill offering．A cool washcloth to wipe my hot brow．A bell to ring if I 7 anything．A picture she had drawn to 8 me up．
Throughout the evening，Vivien issued periodic reports on her progress with the evening 9 ．“I just made myself a salad．” Or，“I'm running my bath now．” I smiled to myself under the 10 ．
Then at bedtime，Vivien 11 a little book she made，entitled “I LOVE YOU MOMMY．”The first page 12 ，“Thank you for all you did for me MOMMY．”
I felt a wave of gratitude for the 13 that had given my little princess the opportunity to 14 —and me the opportunity to 15 —what an angel she truly was．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了一次生病的经历让作者看到了她九岁女儿维维安的表现。她无微不至的照顾，让作者真正感受到了她是一个天使宝宝，改变了作者对她的认识。
( )1．A．extreme B．special

“Our biggest challenge in this work was identifying the actual cases of shared laughter，” explained Inoue，emphasizing the need for careful categorization．Erica's “sense of humor” was tested with four dialogues，integrating the new shared-laughter algorithm．These were compared to cases where Erica didn't laugh or emitted social laughs upon detecting laughter．
The clips were played to 130 volunteers who rated the shared-laughter algorithm highly for empathy and naturalness．The team believed laughter could imbue robots with unique character traits，including conversational behaviors like laughter，eye gaze，gestures，and speaking style．However，Inoue acknowledged it could take over 20 years to have a “casual chat with a robot like we would with a friend．”
Professor Sandra Wachter，of the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford，said，“One of the things I'd keep in mind is that a robot or an algorithm will never be able to understand you．It doesn't understand the meaning of laughter．They fail to feel，but they might get very good at making you believe they understand what's going on．”

My nine-year-old daughter，Vivien，is a little princess．Under 1 circumstances，she can't even pour herself a glass of milk．So when I came home 2 with fever，my first thought was，“How would Vivien react？”
At 3：30 pm，I 3 myself out of bed and drove to pick her up．On the way home，I said，“Sweetheart，Mommy's really sick．Can you fix your own meal tonight？” “That's okay，”she replied 4 ．
When we arrived home，I 5 back to bed．Every now and then，I would wake from a feverish sleep to find a little angel 6 over me with some goodwill offering．A cool washcloth to wipe my hot brow．A bell to ring if I 7 anything．A picture she had drawn to 8 me up．
Throughout the evening，Vivien issued periodic reports on her progress with the evening 9 ．“I just made myself a salad．” Or，“I'm running my bath now．” I smiled to myself under the 10 ．
Then at bedtime，Vivien 11 a little book she made，entitled “I LOVE YOU MOMMY．”The first page 12 ，“Thank you for all you did for me MOMMY．”
I felt a wave of gratitude for the 13 that had given my little princess the opportunity to 14 —and me the opportunity to 15 —what an angel she truly was．
