Dear Peter,
I’m delighted to share with you some fascinating details about the invention of the car, a milestone in human history.
The car was first brought into reality in 1885 by a German engineer named Karl Benz, marking the dawn of a new era in transportation. Benz’s masterpiece was a three-wheeled vehicle, capable of reaching a speed of 16 kilometres per hour. On January 29, 1886, Benz obtained a patent on his invention, officially recognizing him as the pioneer in the field. This date is widely celebrated as the birthday of the car.
The invention of the car stands as one of the most significant breakthroughs in human history, which revolutionized the way people live. Karl Benz, therefore, earned the title of “Father of the car”.
Yours,

【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。本文主要探讨了复活动物灭绝物种(如渡渡鸟、猛犸象)的科学可能性与生态意义。虽然技术挑战重重,但若成功,或将恢复生态系统多样性。
1.C 段落大意题。根据第二段中的“The story in modern times began in 1990 when Michael Crichton published his science fiction novel Jurassic Park, in which he imagined a world where scientists were able to bring dinosaurs back to life. Crichton imagined that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology could be a way to amplify (放大) tiny quantities of dinosaur DNA and thus build a living embryo.”可知,这一段主要讲述了由迈克尔·克莱顿的小说《侏罗纪公园》引发的对灭绝物种复活的想象,特别是PCR技术可能用于放大恐龙DNA并构建活胚胎的想法。因此,这段主要是关于灭绝物种复活的启发性猜测。故选C。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Fascinating as they may be, there’s some ecological justification for the project too.”以及第五段“It was this diversity of land surface, broken up by heavy limbs and randomly fertilized by faeces (排泄物), that supported so much flora (植物群). Without the mammoths, that diversity disappeared. Return them and landscapes would once again be with a variety of species, including flowers and bushes.”可知,人们对克隆灭绝物种感兴趣主要是因为它们能够促进生物多样性的恢复。故选C。
3.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“In some ways, though, I am relieved that the optimistic claims for cloning and genetic technologies have not been borne out. The slowdown gives us time to consider the outcomes—and hopefully avoid some of Michael Crichton’s more fevered imaginings.”可推知,技术的放慢使作者有时间考虑这些技术的后果,并避免一些过于狂热的想象。故选D。
4.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“…I would of course love to see…In some ways, though, I am relieved that the optimistic claims for cloning and genetic technologies have not been borne out. The slowdown gives us time to consider the outcomes—and hopefully avoid some of Michael Crichton’s more fevered imaginings.”可推知,作者对于克隆灭绝物种持谨慎态度。故选A。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是针对在病人出院时医生的病情摘要因其难以理解的技术语言可能会增加患者焦虑的情况,纽约大学朗格尼健康中心的研究人员一直在测试生成式人工智能(AI)的能力,该工具可以将患者出院记录中的文本转换为对患者友好的语言,从而减少患者焦虑。
5.C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, most are filled with technical languages that are hard to understand and increase patients’ anxiety.”以及第三段“Specifically, generative AI made the discharge notes drop from an 11th-grade reading level on average to a 6th-grade level.”可知,出院时医生给出的病人的出院记录因其晦涩难懂的专业术语可能会增加病人的焦虑,生成式人工智能可以降低出院记录的阅读难度,能够让病人清楚地知道出院记录的内容。故选C项。
6.A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It tries to develop likely options for the next word in any sentence based on how most people use words in context on the Internet.”可知,生成式人工智能试图根据大多数人在互联网语境中使用单词的方式,为任何句子中的下一个单词开发可能的选项,所以它的功能是基于可能的预测。故选A项。
7.B 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Specifically, generative AI made the discharge notes drop from an 11th-grade reading level on average to a 6th-grade level.”以及第四段“Two physicians were asked to review the AI discharge summaries based on a 6th-grade level. The reviewing physicians awarded 54 percent of the AI-generated discharge notes the best-possible accuracy rating. They also found that 56 percent of notes created by AI were entirely complete. The result signified that even at the current performance level, providers of discharge notes would not have to make a single change in more than half of the AI summaries reviewed.”可知,生成式人工智能使出院记录的平均阅读水平从11年级下降到6年级,而水平降低以后的准确性如何必须进行检验,而检验结果表明即使在6年级的水平下,出院记录提供者也不必对超过一半的人工智能摘要进行任何更改,所以可以推测两名医生被要求审查AI出院摘要是为了检查其准确性。故选B项。
8.D 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“‘That more than half of the AI reports generated are accurate and complete is an amazing start,’ said Jonah Zaretsky, associate chief of medicine at NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn.‘Even at the current level of performance, which we expect to improve shortly, the achievement of the AI tool suggests that it can be taught to recognize subtleties (微妙之处).’”可知,Jonah Zaretsky认为超过一半的人工智能报告是准确和完整的是一个了不起的开端,而且人工智能工具的准确性还会提高,它也可以学会识别细微之处,所以可以推断Jonah Zaretsky认为人工智能在处理出院摘要方面的表现是大有前途的。故选D项。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章描述了作者在江苏省苏州和南京这两座城市的旅行体验,展示了这两座城市如何在创新与保护传统之间找到独特的平衡。
1.incredibly 考查副词。修饰形容词fortunate应用副词。故填incredibly。
2.longing 考查非谓语动词。动词left后接复合宾语,动词long和宾语me之间是主动关系,应用其现在分词作宾语补足语。故填longing。
3.To engage 考查非谓语动词。根据句意可知,此处应用动词不定式作目的状语,位于句首,首字母大写,故填To engage。
4.where 考查定语从句。分析可知,此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为the “industrial park”,根据句意可知,应用关系副词where引导从句,作地点状语。故填where。
5.exploration 考查名词。根据前文on an可知,此处应用其名词单数作介词宾语。故填exploration。
6.storied 考查形容词。修饰名词应用形容词,storied意为“有名的,众所周知的”。故填storied。
7.an 考查冠词。后文名词eye为单数可数名词,此处表泛指,应用不定冠词限定。后文innovative发音以元音音素开头,故填an。
8.but 考查连词。not only…but “不仅……还”是固定搭配。故填but。
9.to/with 考查介词。contrast to/with“与……形成鲜明对比”是固定搭配,故填to/with。
10.were occupied 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。动词occupy和主语之间是被动关系,根据previously可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,用一般过去时的被动语态。定语从句中主语that指代先行词the ancient neighbourhoods, temples, and buildings,是复数,故填were occupied。

2. 续写线索:吉姆分享写作思路—老师解释成绩—同学们的反应—吉姆的感受
One possible version:
When Mrs Peabody invited Jim to share some thoughts on his writing, other students were all looking at him expectantly. Jim, feeling both surprised and nervous (现在分词作状语), slowly made his way to the front of the classroom. Clearing his throat (现在分词作状语), he began, “Well, I guess I just wanted to write something different. You know, everyone else would write about their beach trips or family vacations, and I thought, ‘Why not create a whole new world ’” He paused and then continued, “On this planet, they don’t have summer or vacations, and I kind of felt sorry for the aliens there. It made me appreciate our summers even more.”
Mrs Peabody thought it was time to explain Jim’s grade. She stood up and addressed the class. “Class, Jim stretched his imagination and took a risk. That’s precisely what I was hoping (表语从句). Creativity and originality are qualities that are often overlooked(定语从句) in favour of conformity. His work reminded us all that writing is not just about meeting expectations—it’s about exploring the boundaries of your imagination. That’s why Jim earned an A(表语从句).” The class erupted into applause, and Jim, standing tall (现在分词作状语), felt a surge of pride and newfound confidence in his own creativity.Period Six Writing Workshop & Other parts

A
We may weep for the dodo, but could and should we bring this lovely bird back from the dead De-extinction is the science of restoring lost species and it has been in the news for decades.
The story in modern times began in 1990 when Michael Crichton published his science fiction novel Jurassic Park, in which he imagined a world where scientists were able to bring dinosaurs back to life. Crichton imagined that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology could be a way to amplify (放大) tiny quantities of dinosaur DNA and thus build a living embryo.
Sadly, biologists soon realized that DNA in fact breaks down super fast; even after 100 years, DNA from museum skins of dodos was decayed (腐烂) beyond repair. They could be sequenced (测定序列) using massive computational power, but then only with considerable uncertainty.
But why would anyone want to see mammoths, or something like them, roaming (漫游) present-day Siberia Well, they were undoubtedly amazing beasts. As well as hunting them, our distant ancestors painted their likenesses in caves across Europe. Fascinating as they may be, there’s some ecological justification for the project too.
It was this diversity of land surface, broken up by heavy limbs and randomly fertilized by faeces (排泄物), that supported so much flora (植物群). Without the mammoths, that diversity disappeared. Return them and landscapes would once again be with a variety of species, including flowers and bushes.
True, it’s not de-extinction in the sense of bringing a long-dead species back to life. Instead it’s more like making a “dodo” by engineering a modern pigeon, its closest relative, to become huge and flightless. The result would be a big, fatty pigeon that, whether it looked like a dodo or not, would probably fulfill some of its ecological roles.
As a paleontologist, I would of course love to see living dinosaurs, mammoths and dodos. In some ways, though, I am relieved that the optimistic claims for cloning and genetic technologies have not been borne out. The slowdown gives us time to consider the outcomes—and hopefully avoid some of Michael Crichton’s more fevered imaginings.
( )1.What is Paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A.A science fiction review.
B.The development of DNA.
C.An inspired guess of de-extinction.
D.The application of PCR technology.
( )2.Why are people interested in cloning extinct species
A.They expect to seek hunt fun.
B.They lack sources of modern art.
C.They want to see biodiversity.
D.They need them for research.
( )3.What does the slowdown in cloning and genetic technologies allow the author to do
A.Witness the birth of cloned dinosaurs.
B.Avoid Michael Crichton’s imaginings.
C.Stop the progress of genetic engineering.
D.Consider the potential outcomes of these technologies.

When patients are discharged (出院) from the hospital, effective summaries from doctors’ notes are essential to capture their health status in the medical record. However, most are filled with technical languages that are hard to understand and increase patients’ anxiety.
To address the problem, researchers from New York University (NYU) Langone Health have been testing the capabilities of generative artificial intelligence (AI). It tries to develop likely options for the next word in any sentence based on how most people use words in context on the Internet.
NYU Langone Health received access to the latest tool from a famous tech company to explore generative AI. One of the studies by the researchers published in JAMA Network Open, looked at how well the tool could convert (转换) the text in 50 patient discharge notes into patient-friendly language. Specifically, generative AI made the discharge notes drop from an 11th-grade reading level on average to a 6th-grade level.
Two physicians were asked to review the AI discharge summaries based on a 6th-grade level. The reviewing physicians awarded 54 percent of the AI-generated discharge notes the best-possible accuracy rating. They also found that 56 percent of notes created by AI were entirely complete. The result signified that even at the current performance level, providers of discharge notes would not have to make a single change in more than half of the AI summaries reviewed.
“That more than half of the AI reports generated are accurate and complete is an amazing start,” said Jonah Zaretsky, associate chief of medicine at NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn. “Even at the current level of performance, which we expect to improve shortly, the achievement of the AI tool suggests that it can be taught to recognize subtleties (微妙之处).”
Within the following years, the team expects to launch a pilot programme to provide lay language discharge summaries that have been generated by AI and reviewed by physicians to patients on a larger scale.
( )5.What is generative AI used for by the researchers
A.Submitting discharge summaries.
B.Accessing patients’ health status.
C.Making discharge notes clear to patients.
D.Offering technical languages to doctors.
( )6.What is generative AI’s function based on
A.Probable predicting.
B.Actual thinking.
C.Free imagining.
D.Strict instructing.
( )7.Why were the two physicians asked to review the AI discharge summaries
A.To correct their mistakes.
B.To measure their accuracy.
C.To compete with the AI tool.
D.To make up the missing parts.
( )8.How did Jonah Zaretsky find the performance of AI in dealing with discharge summaries
A.Misleading. B.Dismissive.
C.Challenging. D.Promising.

A writing assignment
Mrs Peabody, the English teacher, gave the class a writing assignment. “Write something in some way related to the summer vacation,” she said. “Be as creative as you can. But,” the teacher added, “make sure you use proper spelling and grammar.”
That night Jim sat at his desk at home and stared at a blank sheet of paper. He didn’t want to write about his summer vacation as usual. What could he write about, except a dog, a water park and two weeks of camp Boring…He’d actually been happy to get back to school.
So he wrote what he wanted. Not an essay at all but a short story, science fiction. It was about a distant planet that didn’t have summer—it was spring all the time. And it didn’t have vacations either. The aliens on the planet worked 24 hours a day. They wished they had vacations.
The next morning he handed in the story, but later that night he lay awake until 3 am, thinking, “Why did I do that Will Mrs Peabody think I ignored the assignment ” English was his favourite class. Maybe he would beg Mrs Peabody for a chance to write another one, the sort she wanted.
But when he got to class the following day, it turned out that Mrs Peabody had already read and graded the essays.
The teacher said, “I’m going to pass back your summer vacation writings in a minute. I’m afraid I’ve got some rather harsh words to say. Almost everyone in class simply wrote an essay about his or her summer vacation…Almost everyone.”
“This is bad,” Jim thought. “I’m getting an F. I know it.”
“But,” the teacher continued, “one of you had the courage to be as imaginative as I asked you to be. Jim Martin was the only one who got an A on the assignment.”
Jim couldn’t believe his ears.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
When Mrs Peabody invited Jim to share some thoughts on his writing, other students were all looking at him expectantly.
Paragraph 2:
Mrs Peabody thought it was time to explain Jim’s grade.

Dear Peter,
I'm delighted to share with you some fascinating details
about the invention of the car, a milestone in human history.
The car was first brought into reality in 1885 by a German
engineer named Karl Benz, marking the dawn of a new era in
transportation. Benz's masterpiece was a three-wheeled vehicle,
capable of reaching a speed of 16 kilometres per hour. On
January 29, 1886, Benz obtained a patent on his invention,
officially recognizing him as the pioneer in the field. This
date is widely celebrated as the birthday of the car.
The invention of the car stands as one of the most
significant breakthroughs in human history, which revolutionized
the way people live. Karl Benz, therefore, earned the title of
“Father of the car”.
Yours,
Li Hua
