W: Your room looks different. Have you got a new desk
M: No, I’ve just moved it. I was getting too hot sitting under the window, so I put it over there opposite the door.
Text 2
W: Just have a rest, man. You have been working here for two hours.
M: I’d like to, but I’m busy making a plan for the new restaurant. I have to hand it in to our boss today.
Text 3
M: I was thinking of having a holiday during the first half of September, but we can’t all be away at the same time.
W: Don’t worry. I will go in August and Mike in July. You take the weeks you wanted.
Text 4
W: Now, Mr Smith, you’ve just been operated on your stomach. Maybe you want to have a rest lying on the bed or sit still. But the best thing you should do is to get up and walk around right now.
M: OK! I’ll do it, Mrs Black.
Text 5
W: Was the school bus delayed again
M: Well, someone said it was, but I wasn’t on it. I wanted to ride my bike this morning, but its brakes didn’t work. In the end, my dad had to drive me.
Text 6
W: I’m trying a new workout and diet. I’ve increased my running and only eat chicken.
M: So you don’t eat beef or fish
W: No, I don’t. Just chicken. And I’m only drinking water.
M: So you can’t have coffee or juice
W: It is meant to clean my body. I know it sounds awful.
M: It does not sound enjoyable. I like different foods for different tastes.
W: So do I, but if I want to lose weight, I shouldn’t try different things.
M: Then I will try and support you with it by not eating beef.
Text 7
W: Hello, I’m calling about the dining table that you're selling. I noticed an advertisement online this morning. Is it still available
M: Hi, yes, it is! I’m leaving my current apartment this weekend, and my new one is a lot smaller. I just won’t have enough space for it.
W: That’s a shame. I’m definitely interested in buying it, but would you mind holding on to it for a few days I'd like to take a look at it later this week.
M: Well, I’ve had calls all morning. And as I mentioned in the ad, I’d like to find a buyer before Friday.
W: Oh, I understand. In that case, I’ll try to go over to your place with my friend this afternoon. Would you mind giving me your address

M: Hey, Jill. You’re a member of the debate club, right
W: Yeah. Did you see the debate between Clare and Mark last night
M: That’s what I was just about to ask you. It was such a heated debate.
W: I know. I found Clare’s performance surprising because she’s always shy and quiet in our class.
M: You said it. She just looks like a shining star when she’s in a debate.
W: Exactly. Debating is a lot like acting in a theatre. You not only need to remember some difficult facts and figures, but also know when to say them.
M: I agree. Do you know if someone filmed the debate Kevin was off sick and went to see the doctor yesterday, but I’m sure he’d love to see it.
W: Maybe you can ask Sarah for that. She recorded it on her phone.
M: Great. Do you know where she is right now
W: Yes. She’s the captain of the women’s basketball team. They are in the gym practising just now.
Text 9
W: Hey, John, can I talk to you for a minute
M: Hi, Linda. Sure, what’s up
W: I wanted to let you know about a book club I joined a couple months ago. I know you do a lot of reading, so I thought you might want to come with me next month.
M: Oh, that sounds like fun. When does the group meet
W: Usually the last Saturday of the month at 9:30 in the evening. Is that too late for you
M: No, I think that’s OK. What do you talk about in the group
W: Well, every month we choose a new book, and then during the next meeting we discuss it.
M: What book are you reading now
W: The Kite Runner.
M: I’ve heard that’s a good book. What’s it about
W: It is a good book. I’m almost finished. The book is about a boy who grew up in Afghanistan during the 1980s. It’s called The Kite Runner because the main character takes part in a kite flying competition.
M: That sounds really interesting. I’d love to come.
W: OK, great. The next meeting isn’t for another two weeks, so you still have time to read the book.

【思路点拨】 文章以人物为线索展开,讲述作者的妻子苏决定参加马拉松比赛,尽管她身体不好。作者陪着她训练,苏坚持了下来。到了比赛那天,突然下起了雨,气温降低,作者开始担心苏。等比赛线路上基本恢复交通后,作者沿路开去,在大约两公里后的拐弯处看到了两名跑步者。

It was Sue in the company of a girl runner, struggling. As I approached them, I noticed the pair dragging their feet and running forward awkwardly with their shoes wet. I pulled off and called, “Are you okay ” “Oh, yes!” Sue said, almost out of breath. The girl also nodded and kept moving. I had wanted to offer them a ride in, but the resolve in their eyes made me swallow back the words. I turned around and followed. Inch by inch, they were getting closer to the finish line. Eventually, the real winners in my heart ran past the finish line.
At the finish line, the girl hugged Sue, “You made me believe we could do it.” She added, “Sue described so vividly how it would be to finish that I knew I could do it.” Sue smiled back, “I’ve been dreaming about this day for two years and I shall not be denied.” Greatly moved, the girl promised she would never quit anything easily without total success. At that moment, I looked at Sue and found she was carrying herself differently:it was as if she had discovered a real self she had not known before. She truly liked her newly discovered self.

Incredible theme parks worth visiting in America
Edaville Family Theme Park
If your son or daughter is the sort to always have Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends on TV, then you had better accompany your child to Edaville Family Theme Park. This theme park is home to Thomas Land, highlights of which include a 20-minute train ride on a life-size Thomas the Tank Engine, a live show featuring your favourite industrial trains and numerous other themed rides featuring adorable, life-size and rideable Thomas characters.
Cliff’s Amusement Park
One of just two amusement parks in New Mexico, Cliff’s Amusement Park in Albuquerque is not just the best park in its state. It also has what is considered to be one of the best wooden roller coasters in superb condition in the country, the New Mexico Rattler. Typically referred to as the Rattler, this coaster features more dips, twists and turns than even the most wound-up snake.
Belmont Park
Belmont Park features one of the most historic coasters in the country. Indeed, this park is home to the Giant Dipper, a wooden roller coaster that was built during the “Golden Age of Coasters” and opened in 1925. In addition to this coaster and other rides and attractions, this boardwalk also features a taco shop, Dole Whip stand, midway snacks, cheap burgers and more.
Beech Bend Amusement Park
In addition to dozens of family-friendly rides, this splendidly equipped entertainment complex also features a drag-strip raceway(牵引式跑道) and a camping ground. What is especially appealing to children and adults is the Splash Lagoon Water Park. Lie around in the lazy river or the enormous leisure pool, or take a dive down the 55-foot-tall,500-foot-long Cyclone Saucers water ride. There’s no better way to beat that intense Southern summer heat.

For twelve years I’d worked at the hospital. One day they told me I was no longer needed. I understood that it was a cost-cutting move to replace me with someone with less experience and a lower salary.
But my understanding didn’t excise the pain of feeling abandoned and useless. At sixty-two, what opportunities existed for someone at my age “Dear Lord,” I prayed, “show me the way.” As he often does, he answered through someone else, a fellow health educator at another hospital. When I shared my worries about my future, she told me about a conference she had attended recently.
“I’ve just learned the most helpful tool,” she said. “No matter what the situation is, there is an opposite, a benefit. Our typical response is to focus on the losses of job, marriage, home, or even health. Instead, the speaker told us to concentrate on finding what we gained with our loss.” At first, I resisted her advice as I was extremely sad. I missed the meaningful challenges of organizing health education classes for the sick. But as time passed, I grew tired of my sorrow. Maybe I should try my friend’s advice and seek some opposites.
Yet it wasn’t until our trip to Africa that I understood the power of opposite thinking. In 2023 we flew eight thousand miles to a village in West Africa. We brought many presents, believing that somehow we could improve the villagers’ lives. Instead, they taught us the opposite. Our lives were the ones that needed improving.
Despite living in mud huts without modern conveniences, running water, or sanitation (卫生设备), the villagers appeared content. Frequently laughing and greeting each other, they truly cared for their neighbours. Although we slept on the ground, I felt peace I hadn’t known since I left my job. I had expected we would spend our time helping the poor villagers. Instead, they were teaching us that having less meant less to worry about and more time and energy for each other. These wonderful people with a different faith taught me an important lesson that guided me through the darkness of life.

In the past few decades, Ray Kurzweil has made more than 100 forecasts about the future, of which 86% have proven to be accurate. Among his famous predictions is his daring claim that by 2029, artificial intelligence (AI) will pass the Turing test and achieve human-level intelligence. Perhaps his most significant prediction is that the singularity (奇点) will be reached by 2045, marking the point at which human intelligence fully integrates with AI and significantly improves our mental capabilities.
Kurzweil’s positive view on the singularity stands in sharp opposition to the warnings from Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates, who have voiced concerns about the potential risks of super intelligent AI. These figures fear that AI could become uncontrollable and threaten humanity’s survival. Kurzweil, however, sees AI not as an existential risk, but as a powerful tool for improving human abilities. He argues that AI won’t operate as an independent force but will function within a network designed to work alongside humans, improving rather than replacing our abilities.
Kurzweil supports his viewpoint with existing technologies, like brain implants used to treat Parkinson’s disease (帕金森病), suggesting that the integration process is already in progress. He envisions a future where, by the 2030s, individuals will connect their neocortex—the part of the brain responsible for advanced thinking—to the cloud, improving our memory, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
Looking ahead to 2045, Kurzweil believes that the singularity will further enable humanity to address complex global challenges and unlock new levels of intellectual and creative potential. Rather than viewing this transformation as a threat, Kurzweil considers it a valuable opportunity for human progress, as AI will empower individuals to meet their physical and intellectual needs. He argues that this will lead to a society characterized by remarkable growth and achievement.
( )28.What is the significance of the year 2045 in Kurzweil’s predictions
A.It marks the time AI will beat human intelligence for the first time.
B.It is the year when AI will successfully pass the Turing test.
C.It is the year when AI will become totally uncontrollable.
D.It marks the time human intelligence will completely combine with AI.
( )29.What concerns do the figures like Hawking, Musk, and Gates have about AI development
A.They believe AI will make humans dependent on technology.
B.They fear AI could escape human control and endanger humanity.
C.They think AI will make humans lose the ability to talk.
D.They predict AI will lead to conflicts between nations.
( )30.Why does Kurzweil mention brain implants used for treating Parkinson’s disease
A.To show that the human-machine integration has already begun.
B.To illustrate the potential dangers of AI in the medical field.
C.To argue that AI has already beaten human intelligence.
D.To suggest it is possible to find the cure for Parkinson’s disease.
( )31.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.Kurzweil’s dream: the future of AI
B.Kurzweil’s analysis: AI and humanity
C.Kurzweil’s prediction: singularity by 2045
D.Kurzweil’s warning: the threat of AI

The term parasocial interaction (虚拟社交) was introduced in the 1950s by the social scientists Donald Horton and R. Richard Wohl. It was the early days of home television, and they were seeing people form a close connection with actors who were appearing virtually in their home. Today, the definition is much broader. After all, actors, singers, comedians, athletes, and countless other celebrities are available to us in more ways than ever before. Forming parasocial bonds has never been easier.
Psychologists document cases of parasocial relationships that can go much deeper, with severe consequences. Scholars note parasocial bonds range from casual talk about stars to intense emotions, to uncontrollable behaviour and fantasies. At the deepest level, the parasocial relationship can be dangerous, such as when a fan loses touch with reality and secretly follows a star. It can also lead to confusion about one’s own identity, particularly in adolescents who are still forming their sense of self, as they may model themselves on the media figures with whom they have parasocial relationships.
In 2021, two psychologists from York University, in Canada, found that forming parasocial bonds was strongly related to avoidant attachment. That is, people who tended to push others away in their day-to-day lives were more likely to relate to fictional characters. You can easily see how parasocial relationships could be a replacement when one finds real-life attachment difficult. This could start a feedback cycle, in which avoiding close relationships stimulates parasocial bonding, which in turn leads to reduced interactions with real-life family and friends as the fans spend their time and energy on someone who doesn’t know they exist.
My purpose here is not to say that parasocial interactions are always bad for you, or even abnormal. Rather, it is to suggest that heavy parasocial bonding might be a signal that you are crowding out the real people who can give you the love you truly need. One way to address this is to get some more distance from your fictional friends, thus pausing the feedback cycle and giving yourself more space to pursue in-person connection.
( )32.How has parasocial interaction changed according to Paragraph 1
A.It has become more accessible.
B.It has affected more celebrities.
C.It has lost much of its significance.
D.It has turned into a two-way process.
( )33.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A.Reasons behind celebrity following.
B.Origins of dangerous relationships.
C.Different types of parasocial relationships.
D.Potential harm of parasocial relationships.
( )34.Which of the following can lead to parasocial relationships
A.Socializing with strangers.
B.Having strong family support.
C.Participating in group activities.
D.Struggling with relationships in reality.
( )35.What might the author suggest for those with heavy parasocial relationships
A.Meeting fictional friends in real life.
B.Seeking guidance from professionals.
C.Hanging out more with real friends.
D.Creating more space for being alone.

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。
A few years ago, my wife Sue had some fairly serious health problems. She had suffered surgery after surgery and had also put on weight for several years. Diets had not helped her.
One day we sat down and drew up a “wish list” of the things we wanted most out of life. One of Sue’s items was to run in a marathon. Given her history and physical limitations, I thought her goal was completely unrealistic, but Sue became committed to it.
She began by running very slowly around. Every day she ran just a little farther than she had the day before, just one driveway more. “When will I ever be able to run a mile ” Sue asked one day. Soon she was running three. Then five. “We can change ourselves for the better and cause ourselves to pursue our most precious desires with almost total success,” Sue said and registered to run in the St. George Marathon in southern Utah.
I drove the mountainous road from Cedar City to St. George. When the marathon began, I parked the car near the finish line and waited for Sue to come in. Five hours later, it was raining steadily and the wind was cold. Several cold and injured runners had been transported past me, and I began to panic. The image of Sue, alone and cold, off the road somewhere, made me sick with worry. The fast and strong competitors had finished long ago, and runners were becoming fewer and fewer. Now I could not see anyone in either direction.
Almost all of the cars along the marathon route had left, and some normal traffic was beginning. I was able to drive directly up the race route. There were still no runners in view after driving almost two miles. Then I went around a bend in the road and spotted two runners running up ahead.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
It was Sue in the company of a girl runner, struggling.
Paragraph 2:
At the finish line, the girl hugged Sue, “You made me believe we could do it.”
