Gutiérrez’ s life changed after finding a copy of Anna Karenina in the trash (垃圾)20 years ago. It happened one night when he saw discarded books while driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods. It ignited his desire to start rescuing books from the trash. He took home about 50boo ks every morning after his night shift. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community li brary for children from low-income families.
Bogota, Colombia's capital, has 19 public libraries. However, they are far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is out of reach for families struggling t o make ends meet. Gutiérrez's community library is a true representation of how one man's trash can b e another's treasure. “I don't think I'm doing something so great. The library is simply a bridge be tween people who throw books and those who have no access to books,” he said about his remarkable ef forts.
Today, his library, called“the Strength of Words”, contains over 20,000 books and occupies most of his home. Everything from school textbooks to storybooks can be found in his collection. The libr ary is open every weekend, when neighborhood children pour in. “The whole value of the library lies in helping kids start reading. This is important for kids in Bogota where many young people kill time in the streets and fall victim to vices such as taking drugs,” said Gutiérrez.
Gutiérrez grew up poor, and his family couldn't afford to educate him beyond primary school.Never theless, he never lets a lack of formal education stop him from reading. “Books are the greatest inv ention. There's nothing more beautiful than having a book handy,”Guiérrez said. His journey to givin g back to his local community is an amazing example of how each of us can improve the lives of those around us by identifying needs, investing time and finding a simple solution.
What does the underlined word“ignited” mean in the first paragraph
A. indicated. B. satisfied. C. limited. D. stimulated.
Which of the following can best describe Gutérrez
Caring and humble. B. Smart and independent.
C. Traditional and self-disciplined. D. Ambitious and easy-going.
What do paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly tell us
Bogota's main social problems.
The library's rich variety of books.
The bad habits of Bogota's young people.
The library's significance for the neighborhood.
What message does Gutiérrez's story deliver
Education is the key to success.
All things are difficult before they are easy.
Small acts of kindness make a big difference.
Books are the food for the hungry of great mind.
C
In 2020, explorer Shears received enough funding for a search for Captain Shackleton's lost ship the Endurance. Partnering with engineer Vincent, who has helped locate hundreds of sunken ships, the team studied past failures and finally chose firm underwater vehicles for the search. Vincent noted th ey needed tools for extreme conditions, which can be compared to mountain-ready trucks. So Hugin6000 c ame into their view for the first time. It is an effective subsea vehicle, which had been highly prais ed in this field.
However, their first attempt faced an immediate challenge. Hugin 6000’ s major failure alarm so unded in the extreme cold. Vincent used a retired winch (绞车) with a heater over to lengthen Hugin600 0’ s battery life. This simple solution finally allowed for deep-sea searches.
During deep-sea search, they found the original location marks had mistakes. Fortunately, Frank, an astronomer of the team, used the team's star observations to correct the location. With the update
d location marks, the team narrowed the search area. Still, the moving ice made even this smaller zon
e difficult to explore.
After weeks of disappointment, hope arrived on March 5,2022. They captured a sonar(声呐)image of the Endurance's pole from the vehicle's sensors. “I want to see the ship with the camera!”Vincent shouted with excitement. After many attempts, they eventually took a clear picture of the boat with a camera. They found the Endurance in excellent condition after being underwater for 106 years.
Shears, who was normally quiet and serious, excitedly hugged Vincent to celebrate their success. The amazing discovery happened exactly 100 years after Shackleton died, perfectly matching his famous saying“Hang in there, and we will achieve victory.”
What can we know about the Hugin 6000
It had just come into the market. B. It could work well in tough conditions.
C. It was designed for mountain climbing. D. It had been developed by the team.
How did they solve the equipment problem
Buying newer robots. B. Using an old winch.
C. Upgrading its heater. D. Turning to powerful batteries.
What is paragraph 3 mainly about
New challenges caused by moving ice.
Ways to explore icy regions effectively.
Technical problems in locating the ship.
Efforts and challenges in searching for the ship.
Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
Never Give up: Finding a Lost Ship.
Captain Shackleton: A Great Explorer.
Solving Antarctica's Weather Problems.
Modern Tools for Ocean Exploration.
D
The rapid spread of artificial intelligence has people wondering: Who are most likely to adopt i t in their daily lives Many assume that people who understand how AI works are most eager to use it.S urprisingly, our new research finds the opposite.
This link shows up across different groups, settings, and even countries. For example, our analy sis of data collected from 27 countries reveals that people in nations with lower average AIknowledge are more receptive toward AI adoption than those in nations with higher AI literacy.Similarly, our sur vey of US undergraduate students finds that those with less understanding of AI are more likely to ind icate using it for tasks like academic assignments.
The reason behind this link lies in how AI now performs tasks we once thought only humans could do. For the general public, it is magical to see AI create a piece of art, write a heartfelt response, or play a musical instrument.
Of course, AI doesn't actually possess human qualities. People with more technical knowledge abo ut AI understand this. They know how algorithms(算法), training data, and computational models operate. This makes the technology less mysterious. On the other hand, those with less understanding may see A I as magical. We suggest this sense of“magicalness” makes them more open to using AItools.
This finding offers new insights into why people respond so differently to emerging technologies. Some studies suggest consumers favour new tech, a phenomenon called“algorithm appreciation”, while others show skepticism, or“algorithm aversion”. Our research points to the sense of“magicainess” a bout AI as a key factor in shaping these reactions.
These insights pose a challenge for businesses, educators and policymakers. Efforts to boost AIe ducation might unintentionally reduce people's enthusiasm for using AI by making it seem less magical. So, to make the most of AI's potential, they need to strike a tricky balance between helping people u nderstand AI and keeping them open to its adoption.
Who are most unlikely to rely on AI in their daily lives according to the text
Algorithm experts. B. Language teachers.
C. The general public. D. Middle school kids.
The so-called“algorithm aversion” phenomenon indicates that .
the less people know about AI, the more they like it
AI education might discourage people from using it
one way to stop AI abuse is to make it seem magical
it is unlikely to make the most of AI's potential soon
What should businesses do in promoting AI products
Stress their limited but true functions. B. Show their great potential to the public.
C. Highlight the few magic things AI can do.D. Describe their working principle in details.
What is the text mainly about
AI's great potentials. B. Possible unexpected effects of AI education.
C. Advertising strategies. D. A link between AI knowledge and its adoption.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I still remember the day when I first held a Chinese calligraphy brush. It was a summer afterno on when I was in primary school. My grandfather, noticing my growing interest in Chinese culture,inv ited me to his study. He carefully took out his precious calligraphy set and said, “Today, I will t each you the art of Chinese calligraphy.”
At first, I found it extremely challenging. The brush seemed to have a mind of its own, and the Chinese characters that I wrote were far from the beautiful and elegant ones I had seen in books or on the wall of my grandpa's study. My wrist would ache after just a few minutes of holding the brush, and the ink would often mess up the paper. But my grandfather was patient. He adjusted my sitting po sture and guided my hand, showing me how to control the brush with just the right amount of pressure. He told me stories about famous calligraphers in Chinese history and explained the cultural signifi cance behind each stroke(笔画).
As time went on, I went abroad for my high school education. While I was engaged in my schoolin g, I kept practicing Chinese calligraphy for an hour or two every day. Gradually, I began to notice improvements in my writing. I didn't feel the pain in my hand any longer and the characters became m ore balanced and graceful. I also started to learn about the different styles of Chinese calligraphy, such as the bold and vigorous style of Kai Shu and the flowing and dynamic style of XingShu. I was amazed by the beauty, the elegance and the rich cultural heritage embedded in each style.

Paragraph 1:
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
One day, my school held an international cultural exchange activity. Students from different countries came together to share their cultures. I saw it as a great opportunity to share Chinese culture. I set up a small calligraphy station and demonstrated the art of Chinese calligraphy to my foreign friends. At first, they were hesitant, but as I explained the meaning and technique behind each stroke, they became more interested. Some even tried it themselves and were amazed at how difficult yet rewarding it was.
1
Through this experience, I realized the power of sharing. By sharing my passion for Chinese calligraphy, I was able to introduce others to the beauty and depth of Chinese culture. It made me proud of my cultural roots and motivated me to continue learning and sharing. Now, I often participate in various cultural exchange activities and also use social media to share my calligraphy works and stories. I hope that through my small efforts, more people around the world will come to appreciate and love Chinese culture as I do.

While this natural wonder is indeed breathtaking, it’s by no means the only reason to visit the region. There are a number of equally impressive nature and history experiences to enjoy in the park.(尼亚加拉公园是一个不需要介绍的目的地。不可否认,公园里的马蹄瀑布是最吸引人的景点,尼亚加拉河的水从 188 英尺高的地方直坠而下。虽然这个自然奇观确实令人叹为观止,但它绝不是参观该地区的唯一理 由。在公园里有许多同样令人印象深刻的自然和历史体验)”可知,文章主要介绍了尼亚加拉公园的几个主要景点和活动,这些介绍都是为了吸引读者对尼亚加拉公园的兴趣,并鼓励他们前往游览。因此,文章的目的是吸引游客到公园。故选 B。

So Hugin 6000 came into their view for the first time. It is an effective subsea vehicle, which had been highly praised in this field.(文森特指出,他们需要能在极端条件下使用的工具,这可以与适合山区行驶的卡车相媲美。于是,Hugin 6000 首次进入了他们的视野。它是一种高效的水下航行器,在该领域备受赞誉)”可知,Hugin 6000 能在极端条件下使用,也就是能在艰难条件下很好地工作。故选 B 项。 29.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Vincent used a retired winch (绞车) with a heater over to lengthen Hugin 6000’s battery (电池) life. This simple solution finally allowed for deep sea searches.(文森特使用了一个带加热器的退役绞车来延长 Hugin 6000 的电池寿命。这个简单的解决方案最终使得深海搜索得以进行)”可知,他们通过使用一个退役旧绞车解决了设备问题。故选 B 项。
主旨大意题。根据第三段“During deep sea search, they found the original location marks had mistakes. Fortunately, Frank, an astronomer of the team, used the team’s star observations to correct the location.

Still, the moving ice made even this smaller zone difficult to explore.(在深海搜索过程中,他们发现原来的定位标记有误。幸运的是,团队中的天文学家弗兰克利用团队对恒星的观测结果修正了位置。有了更新后的定位标记,团队缩小了搜索范围。不过,移动的冰层使得即使是这个更小的区域也难以探索)”可知,该段主要讲述了在寻找船只过程中遇到原始定位标记错误等困难,以及团队为解决问题做出的努力,如修正位置、缩小搜索范围等。所以该段主要讲了寻找船只过程中的努力和挑战。故选 D 项。
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“However, their first attempt faced an immediate challenge. Hugin 6000’s major failure alarm sounded in the extreme cold.(然而,他们的第一次尝试立即面临挑战。Hugin 6000 在极寒天气中发出了重大故障警报)”、第三段中“During deep sea search, they found the original location marks had mistakes.(在深海搜索过程中,他们发现原来的定位标记有误)”和“Still, the moving ice made even this smaller zone difficult to explore.(不过,移动的冰层使得即使是这个更小的区域也难以探索)”以及第四段中“After weeks of disappointment, hope arrived on March 5, 2022. They captured a sonar (声呐) image of the Endurance’s
pole from the vehicle’s sensors.(经过数周的失望,希望在 2022 年 3 月 5 日降临。他们从航行器的传感器中捕捉到了’持久号’桅杆的声呐图像)”可知,团队在寻找失踪船只的过程中遇到了设备故障、定位错误、冰层阻碍等诸多困难,但他们没有放弃,最终取得了成功,正契合沙克尔顿船长所说的“Hang in there, and we will achieve victory.(坚持住,我们会取得胜利)”。所以 A 项“Never Give up: Finding a Lost Ship(永不放弃:寻找一艘失踪的船)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。故选 A 项。
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了 AI 知识的丰富程度如何影响人们对 AI 产品的接受度。 32.推理判断题。根据第一段“Many assume that people who understand how AI works are most eager to use it.

They know how algorithms (sets of mathematical rules used by computers to carry out particular tasks), training data, and computational models operate. This makes the technology less mysterious.(对人工智能有更多技术知识的人理解这一点。他们知道算法(计算机用于执行特定任务的一组数学规则)、训练数据和计算模型是如何运作的。这使得这项技术不那么神秘)”可知,对人工智能技术知识掌握多的人觉得其不神
秘,就不那么愿意使用人工智能。算法专家属于对人工智能技术知识掌握多的人,所以算法专家在日常生活中最不可能依赖人工智能。故选 A 项。
推理判断题。根据第五段“Some studies suggest consumers favour new tech, a phenomenon called “algorithm appreciation”, while others show skepticism, or “algorithm aversion”. Our research points to the sense of “magicalness” about AI as a key factor in shaping these reactions.(一些研究表明,消费者喜欢新技术,这种现象被称为“算法欣赏”,而另一些研究则表现出怀疑,或“算法厌恶”。我们的研究指出,人工智能的“魔力”感是形成这些反应的关键因素)”和最后一段“These insights pose a challenge for businesses, educators and
policymakers. Efforts to boost AI education might unintentionally dampen people’s enthusiasm for using AI by making it seem less magical.(这些见解对企业、教育工作者和政策制定者构成了挑战。推动人工智能教育的努力可能会无意中削弱人们使用人工智能的热情,让它看起来不那么神奇)”可知,所谓的“算法厌恶”现象表明,人工智能教育可能会阻止人们使用它。故选 B 项。
推理判断题。根据第四段“On the other hand, those with less understanding may see AI as magical. We suggest this sense of “magicalness” makes them more open to using AI tools.(另一方面,那些了解较少的人可能会认为人工智能很神奇。我们认为这种 “神奇感” 使他们更愿意使用人工智能工具)”可知,“神奇感” 会让人们更愿意使用人工智能工具。所以企业在推广人工智能产品时,应该突出人工智能能做的那些神奇的事
情,来吸引人们使用。故选 C。
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The rapid spread of artificial intelligence has people wondering: Who are most likely to adopt it in their daily lives Many assume that people who understand how AI works are most eager to use it. Surprisingly, our new research finds the opposite.(人工智能的迅速普及让人们想知道:哪些人最有可能在日常生活中采用人工智能?许多人认为,了解人工智能工作原理的人最渴望使用它。令人惊讶的是,我们的新研究发现了相反的结果)”可知,文章开篇提出 “谁最有可能在日常生活中采用人工智能” 这一问题,接着通过研究表明对人工智能了解较少的人更愿意采用人工智能,然后解释了背后的原因是对人工智能了解少的人觉得其有 “神奇感”,最后说明了这一发现对企业、教育者和政策制定者的挑战。可知,本文主要讲述人工智能知识与应用之间的联系。故选 D 项。
