Your hero could be a CNN Hero！
They’re your friends， your colleagues， your family members， or maybe someone you read about.
They are CNN Heroes， each of whom shows how one person can truly make a difference.
Again this year， CNN encourages you to tell us about these everyday people changing the world — by nominating （提名） them at . Taking a few minutes to share their story with us could propel them to worldwide recognition. We will select Top 10 CNN Heroes of 2024， each of whom will receive a $10，000 prize.

·We require either an email address or a telephone number so we may quickly contact your nominee to obtain permission for consideration as a CNN Hero.

For Beth Terry， the awareness came when she read an article about how seabirds are being killed by discarded plastics. It was time to abandon plastic in her life.
First， she focused on her kitchen and got rid of the shopping bags and other plastic products. Then she turned to her bathroom. Toothpaste without plastic packaging was extremely hard to find， so she started making her own with baking soda.
Sometimes her personal war on plastic created awkward moments. During a vacation to Disneyland in California to run a half-marathon， Ms Terry and her husband left their reusable cloth bags in the hotel， soon discovering that the local supermarket only had plastic bags. How to carry a bunch of apples， oranges， avocados and melons？
“We just rolled it up in our T-shirts and carried it that way，” said Ms Terry， recalling how she crab-walked back to the hotel to stay true to her principles. “If I let myself off the hook this time， it would be easier for me to take plastic next time.”
Treating plastic like a drug habit that needs to be kicked is a lifestyle pledge being shared by more and more consumers， horrified by the tens of millions of metric tons of plastic created worldwide each year， much of it in the form of single-use items like straws， that end up in landfills or， worse， the oceans.
If you gathered up all your plastic waste each week， as Ms Terry once did， you would have a huge mound on the floor. Where to even begin？
“The one thing I try to emphasize to people is to go step by step，” said Ms Terry， an accountant who lives in Greenbelt， Md.， and who is the author of Plastic-Free： How I Kicked the Plastic Habit and How You Can Too. “Don’t try to do everything at once. It’s been a practice of mine to not get overwhelmed （使不知所措） by it all.”
24.What made Beth Terry give up plastic in her life？（ ）
A.Seeing some horrible scenes. B.Learning plastic is polluting seas.
C.Reading about some tragic news. D.Hearing plastic pollution is serious.
25.Beth Terry’s experience of refusing plastic can be described as .（ ）
A.difficult B.ridiculous C.enjoyable D.interesting
26.What does the underlined part “let myself off the hook” in Paragraph 4 probably mean？（ ）
A.Allow me to ask a favour. B.Allow me to get out of trouble.
C.Remind me to keep on trying. D.Remind me to make a change.
27.What is Ms Terry’s final suggestion？（ ）
A.To achieve instant success. B.To make gradual progress.
C.To stay true to your principles. D.To remember your original aims.

Maya Ackerman just wanted to write a song.She tried for years — song after song.In the end， she didn’t like any of the tunes she wrote.“I didn’t have the gift，” she says.“All the melodies that came into my mind were so boring that I couldn’t imagine wasting time performing them.”
Maybe， she thought， a computer could puter programs already are useful for recording songs that people come up with.Ackerman now wondered if a computer could be more — a songwriting partner.
It was a flash of inspiration.“I knew in an instant that it would be possible for a machine to give me ideas，” she says.That inspiration led to the creation of ALYSIA.This computer program can generate brand-new melodies， based on a user’s lyrics.
As a computer scientist at Santa Clara University in California， Ackerman has a lot of experience using algorithms （算法）.These are step-by-step mathematical recipes to solve problems and make predictions.Algorithms are useful in programming computers.They can also be useful for everyday tasks.Online movie and music servers use algorithms to recommend films and songs.Self-driving cars need algorithms to safely navigate roads.Some grocery stores track the freshness of produce using algorithms that are connected to cameras or sensors.
Ackerman isn’t the only one using AI for songwriting.Some programs build entire orchestral scores around small bits of melody.Others generate music for many instruments.AI is also finding its way into other arts.
And those efforts are paying off.In October 2018， an art auction in New York City became the first to sell an AI-generated work.A group of computer scientists and artists in France used AI algorithms to create the work.A portrait of an imaginary man made a splash： The painting sold for $432，500.
Ahmed Elgammal runs a computer-science lab that focuses on using AI to influence art.“AI is a creative tool that will be accepted as an art form，” he says.Eventually， he adds，“It will affect the way art is made， and what art will be.”
28.What do we learn about Maya Ackerman’s personal effort to write a song？（ ）
A.It was fruitful. B.It was surprising.
C.It proved to be a failure. D.It turned out rewarding.
29.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to？（ ）
A.Recording a song online. B.Writing a song by herself.
C.Designing a computer program. D.Using a computer to write a song.
30.What’s the fourth paragraph mainly about？（ ）
A.The wide use of algorithms. B.The problems with algorithms.
C.How Ackerman uses algorithms. D.How algorithms solve problems.
31.Why does the author mention a portrait in Paragraph 6？（ ）
A.To prove AI will be used in art. B.To prove AI has a bright future.
C.To show people’s trying is successful. D.To show people like AI-created work.

It was a hot spring day.The temperatures felt more like July than May.I parked my car and headed into the local store to buy my son a shirt.
After I made my purchase I walked back out into the heat.I got in my car but had to wait to pull out because of all the cars lined up at the red stop light.I looked out of my car window and saw something on the pavement.A single butterfly was crazily fluttering （抖动） its wings but not getting off the ground.It was right in front of a truck’s tire， too.Without thinking I got out of my car， held my hand up so the truck driver wouldn’t move forward， and bent down to look at the butterfly.One of its legs was stuck in what looked like spilt soda.I reached down and gently as I could cupped the butterfly in my hands.I lifted its leg up and suddenly it was free.I opened my hands and up it flew towards the shining sun.My own eyes shined brighter and my own heart felt lighter as I watched it.
Now a lot of people might wonder why I would step out into traffic like that to rescue a single butterfly.All I can say is that my heart was guiding me at that moment.And when I was done I felt more like my true self than I had all day.
The truth is the closer you are to the Earth， the closer you come to Heaven.The more love that you share on this Earth， the more love you take with you to Heaven.Fill your days with grace， goodness， and love， and your heart will feel as light as a butterfly.
32.Why did the author get out of his/her car in the second paragraph？（ ）
A.To save a butterfly. B.To catch a butterfly.
C.To check his/her car. D.To greet the truck driver.
33.When the butterfly flew away， the author felt .（ ）
A.a little moved B.a little disappointed
C.a sense of joy D.a sense of loss
34.What’s the main purpose of the last paragraph？（ ）
A.To give a supplement. B.To offer a suggestion.
C.To introduce a new topic. D.To make some comments.
35.What would be the best title for the passage？（ ）
A.Fill Your Life with Excitement B.Move the World with Action
C.Value Every Moment of Your Life D.Show Your Kindness to the World

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。
（2024·绵阳高二期末）There’s a lot that goes into moving to a new city. You’re house hunting in areas you aren’t familiar with， dragging all of your belongings around， trying to figure out which grocery store keeps your favourite noodles in stock， and wondering when you’ll ever find a new dentist. This was exactly what I went through when I settled in Chicago.
Every day， I was fully occupied， exhausted. I found my new city so big and unfriendly.
After graduating from college in May， I moved from the town of Oxford， Mississippi to Chicago to start my full-time job. Typically， when I went through lots of change in my life， I had consistent faces around me： my family or my friends. This time， however， it was just me. And for someone who’s an introvert （内向的人）， this was anything but easy.
Besides， the job itself was also something beyond my expectation. What I learnt in college was totally different from what I needed to do in the company. I worked longer hours to sort things out and couldn’t sleep well at night. It was a lot of change at once. It was too much. I was helpless.
What’s worse， my poor health added to the helplessness. Due to days of pressure， I had a physical problem. It seemed that I had to go to hospital for a thorough examination. It seemed a small challenge compared to the one I was about to face， but things started to go wrong right from the beginning.
Not having a car or knowing the city， I was depending on a couple of buses to get around. Although I’d left myself plenty of time， soon it was obvious that I was going to be late， as I had mistakenly got on a bus that was taking me in the opposite direction.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
I had no choice but to get off the bus.
Suddenly， a car stopped in front of me and it was the same woman.

41.B 根据空后的between Formula One and a roller coaster可知，这里周冠宇将两者进行对比，也就是指出差异。
42.B 对于一级方程式赛车运动员来说，必须控制前进的方向，过山车则无需自己控制。
43.C 根据上下文可知，周冠宇选择了赛车道路，他从小就对驾车很投入。
44.A 由于周冠宇在赛车领域所取得的成绩，人们预测他就是赛车领域里的姚明。这里的姚明是体育成功人士的代名词。
45.D 人们普遍赞誉姚明，他的一大贡献是让篮球运动在中国更加流行。
46.A 根据下文中的on TV可知，周冠宇5岁时在电视上观看赛车比赛。
47.C 周冠宇在电视上观看Rubens Barrichello赢得比赛的那一刻，培养了他对赛车运动的兴趣。
48.A 周冠宇自称，这一兴趣从那时一直保持到现在。
49.B 根据下文中的a path of his own可知，中国缺乏赛车领域的榜样人物。
50.D 由于在中国没有可以借鉴模仿的榜样，周冠宇开创了一条自己的发展道路。
51.C 在12岁那年，周冠宇离开上海去谢菲尔德。leave ...for ...表示“离开……去……”。

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了常年守护在云南玉龙雪山上清理垃圾的环卫工人吕皓葳。
56.to collect/collecting 根据语境可知，这里应用动词不定式或动词-ing形式作表语。
57.Equipped 本句主语为Lyu，与动词equip为被动关系，因此用表达被动概念的过去分词作状语。
58.where 本空前面的areas是一个先行词，这里应用关系副词where引导一个非限制性定语从句。
59.with 这里是一个“with＋名词＋动词-ing形式”构成的with复合结构。
60.covers 本空与后面的rises是并列谓语，都描述客观事实，因此用一般现在时。
61.was given 本句时间状语为in 2007且表示被动概念，因此用一般过去时的被动语态。
62.the 这里强调“游客的数量”，因此用the number of tourists。a number of tourists表示“许多游客”。
63.periods 由于每年的旅游高峰期有好几个，因此这里应用period的复数形式。
64.preparation 本空前面是介词in，因此这里应用名词形式。in preparation for是一个固定短语，表示“为……做准备”。
65.eighth 这里表示今年是吕皓葳和他的同事在玉龙雪山上工作的第八年，因此用序数词。

第一节
Dear Sir/Madam，
As we know， a growing number of countries hope to know more about China.As a Chinese student， I sincerely wish that I would have an opportunity to be a volunteer to introduce the excellent and traditional culture of China to British people.
I’m diligent and I have a good knowledge of Chinese culture and have a gift for communicating with others.Apart from that， I am expert at oral English so that I can share my ideas with British people fluently.Finally， I’m always ready to help others in need.
In a word， I wish to have a chance to talk more about China and make lots of contributions to Chinese teaching in Britain.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
第二节
I had no choice but to get off the bus. Standing on the pavement， I felt totally at a loss. Strangers passed by， but I couldn’t gather the courage to ask for directions. Just at the moment， a middle-aged woman， instead of moving on， stopped to ask if I needed help. After I explained my situation to her， she pointed to a bus stop across the street. “No.5 bus will take you to the hospital.” she said kindly. I showed my thanks and hurried to the stop， where I waited for the bus restlessly.
Suddenly， a car stopped in front of me and it was the same woman. She waved her hand and offered to give me a ride. The smile on her face was so bright that I was nearly moved to tears. With gratitude filling my heart， I got in the car. “I see you’re not familiar with the city，” she chuckled. I told her about my helplessness in the new city along the way. “Don’t worry. Everything will work out here.” she comforted me when dropping me off at the hospital. Yes， everything would go fine， starting from making such an amazing friend.

Your hero could be a CNN Hero！
They’re your friends， your colleagues， your family members， or maybe someone you read about.
They are CNN Heroes， each of whom shows how one person can
truly make a difference.
Again this year， CNN encourages you to tell us about these
everyday people changing the world — by nominating （提名） them at
. Taking a few minutes to share their story with us could
propel them to worldwide recognition. We will select Top 10 CNN Heroes
of 2024， each of whom will receive a $10，000 prize.
It’s easy to nominate the person whose work you admire. But a
thoughtful， well-written nomination is essential to help yours stand out
from the thousands we receive. Here are some suggestions we hope will
help you in crafting your nomination for consideration as a 2024 CNN
Hero.
·You don’t have to personally know the individual you nominate.
·Think about what makes your hero special. Ask yourself： What
makes my nominee unique？ What specific accomplishment has he or she
achieved that is truly remarkable？ What impact has his or her work had
on others？
· Take a look at our nomination form. We suggest you review the
information requested about yourself， your nominee and his or her work
before filling out your submission.
·Tell us about your hero. Take your time and write from the heart.
Remember： What you share — in your own words — is the most
important factor in advancing a nomination for further consideration.
·We require either an email address or a telephone number so we may
quickly contact your nominee to obtain permission for consideration as a
CNN Hero.
·Please don’t nominate your hero more than once. One well-written
nomination is enough. We discourage campaigns in support of one or more
individuals.

For Beth Terry， the awareness came when she read an article about
how seabirds are being killed by discarded plastics. It was time to abandon
plastic in her life.
First， she focused on her kitchen and got rid of the shopping bags
and other plastic products. Then she turned to her bathroom. Toothpaste
without plastic packaging was extremely hard to find， so she started
making her own with baking soda.
Sometimes her personal war on plastic created awkward moments.
During a vacation to Disneyland in California to run a half-marathon， Ms
Terry and her husband left their reusable cloth bags in the hotel， soon
discovering that the local supermarket only had plastic bags. How to carry
a bunch of apples， oranges， avocados and melons？
“We just rolled it up in our T-shirts and carried it that way，” said
Ms Terry， recalling how she crab-walked back to the hotel to stay true to
her principles. “If I let myself off the hook this time， it would be easier
for me to take plastic next time.”
Treating plastic like a drug habit that needs to be kicked is a lifestyle
pledge being shared by more and more consumers， horrified by the tens
of millions of metric tons of plastic created worldwide each year， much
of it in the form of single-use items like straws， that end up in landfills
or， worse， the oceans.
If you gathered up all your plastic waste each week， as Ms Terry
once did， you would have a huge mound on the floor. Where to even
begin？
“The one thing I try to emphasize to people is to go step by step，”
said Ms Terry， an accountant who lives in Greenbelt， Md.， and who
is the author of Plastic-Free： How I Kicked the Plastic Habit and How
You Can Too. “Don’t try to do everything at once. It’s been a practice
of mine to not get overwhelmed （使不知所措） by it all.”

Maya Ackerman just wanted to write a song.She tried for years —
song after song.In the end， she didn’t like any of the tunes she
wrote.“I didn’t have the gift，” she says.“All the melodies that
came into my mind were so boring that I couldn’t imagine wasting time
performing them.”
Maybe， she thought， a computer could puter programs
already are useful for recording songs that people come up with.Ackerman
now wondered if a computer could be more — a songwriting partner.
It was a flash of inspiration.“I knew in an instant that it would be
possible for a machine to give me ideas，” she says.That inspiration led
to the creation of ALYSIA. This computer program can generate brand-
new melodies， based on a user’s lyrics.
As a computer scientist at Santa Clara University in California，
Ackerman has a lot of experience using algorithms （算法）.These are
step-by-step mathematical recipes to solve problems and make
predictions.Algorithms are useful in programming computers.They can
also be useful for everyday tasks.Online movie and music servers use
algorithms to recommend films and songs.Self-driving cars need
algorithms to safely navigate roads.Some grocery stores track the
freshness of produce using algorithms that are connected to cameras or
sensors.
Ackerman isn’t the only one using AI for songwriting.Some
programs build entire orchestral scores around small bits of melody.Others
generate music for many instruments.AI is also finding its way into other
arts.
And those efforts are paying off.In October 2018， an art auction in
New York City became the first to sell an AI-generated work.A group of
computer scientists and artists in France used AI algorithms to create the
work.A portrait of an imaginary man made a splash： The painting sold
for $432，500.
Ahmed Elgammal runs a computer-science lab that focuses on using
AI to influence art.“AI is a creative tool that will be accepted as an art
form，” he says.Eventually， he adds，“It will affect the way art is
made， and what art will be.”

It was a hot spring day.The temperatures felt more like July than
May.I parked my car and headed into the local store to buy my son a shirt.
After I made my purchase I walked back out into the heat.I got in my
car but had to wait to pull out because of all the cars lined up at the red
stop light.I looked out of my car window and saw something on the
pavement.A single butterfly was crazily fluttering （抖动） its wings but
not getting off the ground.It was right in front of a truck’s tire，
too.Without thinking I got out of my car， held my hand up so the truck
driver wouldn’t move forward，
and bent down to look at the butterfly.One of its legs was stuck in what
looked like spilt soda.I reached down and gently as I could cupped the
butterfly in my hands.I lifted its leg up and suddenly it was free.I opened
my hands and up it flew towards the shining sun.My own eyes shined
brighter and my own heart felt lighter as I watched it.
Now a lot of people might wonder why I would step out into traffic
like that to rescue a single butterfly.All I can say is that my heart was
guiding me at that moment.And when I was done I felt more like my true
self than I had all day.
The truth is the closer you are to the Earth， the closer you come to
Heaven.The more love that you share on this Earth， the more love you
take with you to Heaven.Fill your days with grace， goodness， and
love， and your heart will feel as light as a butterfly.

Most of us get distracted with push notifications， text messages and
phone calls. With so much going on， it can be very difficult to stay
focused， but it’s not impossible.
Turn Off Alerts （提醒）
Constant notifications and text messages are every college student’s
enemy. 36.（ ） Close unnecessary tabs on your computer. You can
fight online distractions by blocking or hiding time-wasting websites and
apps.
Break Down Your Work into Smaller Tasks
If you’re having a difficult time studying or getting work done，
break up your time effectively. 37.（ ） Studies show that taking
breaks can help you retain information and increase productivity.
Find the Right Place to Do Work
Some students work best with a little background noise， while others
need complete quiet. 38.（ ） Are you the kind of person who works
better in silence at the library？ Or do you prefer the campus coffee shop
with noise？ Try a few different spaces and see how each study session
works out.
Clear Your Desk
Is your desk covered with stacks of papers？ Is your computer
monitor framed with layers of sticky notes？ 39.（ ） A messy
workspace can keep you from getting your work done. Go through your
desk and keep only the essentials. A clean workspace can help reduce
anxiety and make room for motivation.
Reward Yourself
40. （ ） Setting up a reward system is a good way to encourage
yourself to do something. For example， if you finish an essay without
any distractions， give yourself a reward like watching a TV show or
taking a nap.
A. Everyone likes to be quiet.
B. If so， it’s time to get organised.
C. A little motivation can go a long way.

56. to collect/collecting 根据语境可知，这里应用动词不定式或动词-
ing形式作表语。
57. Equipped 本句主语为Lyu，与动词equip为被动关系，因此用表
达被动概念的过去分词作状语。
58. where 本空前面的areas是一个先行词，这里应用关系副词where
引导一个非限制性定语从句。
59. with 这里是一个“with＋名词＋动词-ing形式”构成的with复合
结构。
60. covers 本空与后面的rises是并列谓语，都描述客观事实，因此用
一般现在时。
61. was given 本句时间状语为in 2007且表示被动概念，因此用一般
过去时的被动语态。
62. the 这里强调“游客的数量”，因此用the number of tourists。a
number of tourists表示“许多游客”。
63. periods 由于每年的旅游高峰期有好几个，因此这里应用period的
复数形式。
64. preparation 本空前面是介词in，因此这里应用名词形式。in
preparation for是一个固定短语，表示“为……做准备”。
65. eighth 这里表示今年是吕皓葳和他的同事在玉龙雪山上工作的第
八年，因此用序数词。

第二节（满分25 分）
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。
（2024·绵阳高二期末）There’s a lot that goes into moving to a
new city. You’re house hunting in areas you aren’t familiar with，
dragging all of your belongings around， trying to figure out which
grocery store keeps your favourite noodles in stock， and wondering when
you’ll ever find a new dentist. This was exactly what I went through
when I settled in Chicago.
Every day， I was fully occupied， exhausted. I found my new city
so big and unfriendly.
After graduating from college in May， I moved from the town of
Oxford， Mississippi to Chicago to start my full-time job. Typically，
when I went through lots of change in my life， I had consistent faces
around me： my family or my friends. This time， however， it was just
me. And for someone who’s an introvert （内向的人）， this was
anything but easy.
Besides， the job itself was also something beyond my expectation.
What I learnt in college was totally different from what I needed to do in
the company. I worked longer hours to sort things out and couldn’t sleep
well at night. It was a lot of change at once. It was too much. I was
helpless.
What’s worse， my poor health added to the helplessness. Due to
days of pressure， I had a physical problem. It seemed that I had to go to
hospital for a thorough examination. It seemed a small challenge
compared to the one I was about to face， but things started to go wrong
right from the beginning.
Not having a car or knowing the city， I was depending on a couple
of buses to get around. Although I’d left myself plenty of time， soon it
was obvious that I was going to be late， as I had mistakenly got on a bus
that was taking me in the opposite direction.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
I had no choice but to get off the bus.
Suddenly， a car stopped in front of me and it was the same
woman.
参考范文：
I had no choice but to get off the bus. Standing on the pavement， I
felt totally at a loss. Strangers passed by， but I couldn’t gather the
courage to ask for directions. Just at the moment， a middle-aged
woman， instead of moving on， stopped to ask if I needed help. After I
explained my situation to her， she pointed to a bus stop across the street.
“No.5 bus will take you to the hospital.” she said kindly. I showed my
thanks and hurried to the stop， where I waited for the bus restlessly.
Suddenly， a car stopped in front of me and it was the same woman.
She waved her hand and offered to give me a ride. The smile on her face
was so bright that I was nearly moved to tears. With gratitude filling my
heart， I got in the car. “I see you’re not familiar with the city，” she
chuckled. I told her about my helplessness in the new city along the way.
“Don’t worry. Everything will work out here.” she comforted me
when dropping me off at the hospital. Yes， everything would go fine，
starting from making such an amazing friend.
谢谢观看！
