If you live near a deep forest， you might have come across some wildlife animals hiding in your backyard， but nothing beats the surprise this woman got when she found three baby deer hiding in her house to wait out the storm.
The woman then posted several photos of the baby deer taking refuge （避难） in one of her rooms on her Imgur account “Amscolie”.She wrote that it was a very stormy day and a rainstorm was coming so she left her back door open just in case some animals wanted to take refuge in her house.In the meantime， she went out in the storm to check whether there were any animals that were stuck in the bad weather， especially a number of deer.However， she could not find any of them so she went back to her home.
Surprisingly， she found that the deer had already made their way inside her house！
Like many other animals， deer can also predict stormy weather and know when it is best to find a shelter from the dangerous weather.As the back door was opened， she did not notice when the deer entered her house.The three lovely baby deer made their way inside but there was no sight of their parents.The woman did try to find out if there were any deer nearby her house but to no avail.The woman thought that the baby deer might have lost their parents so she welcomed them with open arms.
“I raise orphaned （孤儿的） wildlife.Recently， the back door was open as a storm was coming.The deer were nowhere to be found.I went inside， only to see them next to an end table in the living room.I told them they could sleep in the house for the night because the weather was going to be terrible，” the woman wrote on Little .
24.How did the baby deer enter the woman’s house？（ ）

Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read？ Yes， we all have our phones， but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.
Well， there’s a kiosk （小亭） for that.In the San Francisco Bay Area， at least.
“You enter the fare gates （检票口） and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute， a three-minute， or a five-minute story，” says Alicia Trost， the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit—known as BART.“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt — like short story.”
It’s that simple.Riders have printed nearly 20，000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March.Some are classic short stories， and some are new original works.
Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders.“We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest，” Trost says.“And as of right now， we’ve received about 120 submissions.The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”
Ridership on transit （交通） systems across the country has been down the past half century， so could short stories save transit？
Trost thinks so.
“At the end of the day， all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience.So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories，” she says.
And you’ll never be without something to read.
28.Why did BART start the kiosk program？（ ）
A.To promote the local culture. B.To discourage phone use.
C.To meet passengers’ needs. D.To reduce its running costs.
29.How are the stories categorized in the kiosk？（ ）
A.By popularity. B.By length.
C.By theme. D.By language.
30.What has Trost been doing recently？（ ）
A.Organizing a story contest. B.Doing a survey of customers.
C.Choosing a print publisher. D.Conducting interviews with artists.
31.What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future？（ ）
A.It will close down. B.Its profits will decline.
C.It will expand nationwide. D.Its ridership will increase.

It’s the start of a new era of AI at Google， says CEO Sundar Pichai： the Gemini era.Gemini is Google’s latest large language model， which Pichai first mentioned at the I/O developer conference in June and is now releasing to the public.This significant advance in AI will ultimately impact almost all of Google’s products.
Gemini is more than a single AI model.There’s a lighter version called Gemini Nano meant for offline Android devices， a more powerful version called Gemini Pro that will power many Google AI services， and an even more capable model called Gemini Ultra — the most powerful LLM （大语言模型） Google has yet created.It seems to be mostly designed for data centers and enterprise applications.
OpenAI launched ChatGPT in 2022.Now Google is ready to fight back.“We’ve done a very thorough analysis of the systems side by side，” says CEO Sundar Pichai.Google ran 32 well-established criteria comparing the two models， from overall tests to the Python code generation.“I think we’re substantially （大量地） ahead on 30 out of 32 of those criteria，” he adds.
Gemini’s clearest advantage comes from its ability to understand and interact with video and audio.This was by design： multi-modality has been part of the plan from the beginning.Google built one multi-sensory model from the beginning， unlike OpenAI’s separate models for images and voice.
Right now， Gemini’s most basic models are text-based， but more advanced models like Gemini Ultra can work with images， video， and audio.“Over time，” Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis says， “Gemini will gain more senses， become more aware， accurate， and grounded.These models just sort of understand better about the world around them.” These models still have other problems， but Hassabis says they will improve as they learn more.
32.What is Gemini according to the text？（ ）
A.A new language model in development.
B.A light AI model designed for offline use.
C.A new language model developed by Google.
D.A light AI model created for specific enterprise applications.
33.What does Gemini Nano specialize in？（ ）
A.Generating Python code.
B.Running on offline Android devices.
C.Powering Google AI services.
D.Training separate models for images and voice.
34.What is a key advantage of Gemini over OpenAI’s ChatGPT？（ ）
A.The ability to write Pyth on code.
B.The ability to work with video and audio.
C.The understanding and interaction with textual data.
D.The ability to create separate models for images and voice.
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph？（ ）
A.Google will bring the most advanced models.
B.Gemini models outperform OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
C.Google will still work on the perfection of Gemini models.
D.Gemini models are launched without even a slight imperfection.

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。
It was the final day of the school’s annual art exhibition.Students from all grades had spent weeks preparing their best works， ranging from paintings to sculptures.Among them was Emily， a shy girl from the freshman class.Her piece， a delicate watercolor painting of a serene （宁静的） sunset over a quiet lake， stood out amid the crowd of more flashy and bold （华丽而大胆的） creations.
Emily had always loved painting but had never had the courage to share her work with others.This year， with the encouragement of her art teacher， she decided to take a leap of faith and submit her painting to the exhibition.As she stood by her artwork， she couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness.
Suddenly， a group of sophomores （高二学生） approached her booth.They examined her painting closely， whispering among themselves.Emily’s heart raced as she waited for their remarks.One of them， a tall girl with bright red hair， spoke up.“This is really pretty，” she said， her voice filled with sincerity.“I love how peaceful it feels.”
Emily’s face lit up with a smile.She thanked the girl and felt a surge of confidence.But as the crowd continued to flow in and out， she couldn’t shake the feeling that her painting might still be overshadowed by the more flashy pieces.With the passage of time， this feeling is increasingly stronger for there are far fewer people standing at her booth than at other booths.She struggled with self-doubt — is it a good decision to attend the exhibition？
Just then， the school’s principal， Mr Thompson， walked into the exhibition hall.He was known for his appreciation of art and had always encouraged students to pursue their passions.As he looked through the exhibits， his eyes caught sight of Emily’s painting.He stopped， stared at it for a moment， took a few steps closer to Emily’s booth and leaned in to examine her painting more closely.
注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右；（2）请按如下格式作答。
Emily stood there， barely able to breathe as she waited for his comments.
Watching him walking away， Emily felt a sense of accomplishment and pride.

Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read？ Yes， we all have our phones， but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.
Well， there’s a kiosk （小亭） for that.In the San Francisco Bay Area， at least.
“You enter the fare gates （检票口） and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute， a three-minute， or a five-minute story，” says Alicia Trost， the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit—known as BART.“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt — like short story.”
It’s that simple.Riders have printed nearly 20，000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March.Some are classic short stories， and some are new original works.
Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders.“We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest，” Trost says.“And as of right now， we’ve received about 120 submissions.The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”
Ridership on transit （交通） systems across the country has been down the past half century， so could short stories save transit？
Trost thinks so.
“At the end of the day， all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience.So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories，” she says.
And you’ll never be without something to read.

It’s the start of a new era of AI at Google， says CEO Sundar Pichai： the Gemini era.Gemini is Google’s latest large language model， which Pichai first mentioned at the I/O developer conference in June and is now releasing to the public.This significant advance in AI will ultimately impact almost all of Google’s products.
Gemini is more than a single AI model.There’s a lighter version called Gemini Nano meant for offline Android devices， a more powerful version called Gemini Pro that will power many Google AI services， and an even more capable model called Gemini Ultra — the most powerful LLM （大语言模型） Google has yet created.It seems to be mostly designed for data centers and enterprise applications.
OpenAI launched ChatGPT in 2022.Now Google is ready to fight back.“We’ve done a very thorough analysis of the systems side by side，” says CEO Sundar Pichai.Google ran 32 well-established criteria comparing the two models， from overall tests to the Python code generation.“I think we’re substantially （大量地） ahead on 30 out of 32 of those criteria，” he adds.
Gemini’s clearest advantage comes from its ability to understand and interact with video and audio.This was by design： multi-modality has been part of the plan from the beginning.Google built one multi-sensory model from the beginning， unlike OpenAI’s separate models for images and voice.
Right now， Gemini’s most basic models are text-based， but more advanced models like Gemini Ultra can work with images， video， and audio.“Over time，” Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis says， “Gemini will gain more senses， become more aware， accurate， and grounded.These models just sort of understand better about the world around them.” These models still have other problems， but Hassabis says they will improve as they learn more.

B.The ability to work with video and audio.
C.The understanding and interaction with textual data.
D.The ability to create separate models for images and voice.

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。
It was the final day of the school’s annual art exhibition.Students from all grades had spent weeks preparing their best works， ranging from paintings to sculptures.Among them was Emily， a shy girl from the freshman class.Her piece， a delicate watercolor painting of a serene （宁静的） sunset over a quiet lake， stood out amid the crowd of more flashy and bold （华丽而大胆的） creations.
Emily had always loved painting but had never had the courage to share her work with others.This year， with the encouragement of her art teacher， she decided to take a leap of faith and submit her painting to the exhibition.As she stood by her artwork， she couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness.
Suddenly， a group of sophomores （高二学生） approached her booth.They examined her painting closely， whispering among themselves.Emily’s heart raced as she waited for their remarks.One of them， a tall girl with bright red hair， spoke up.“This is really pretty，” she said， her voice filled with sincerity.“I love how peaceful it feels.”
Emily’s face lit up with a smile.She thanked the girl and felt a surge of confidence.But as the crowd continued to flow in and out， she couldn’t shake the feeling that her painting might still be overshadowed by the more flashy pieces.With the passage of time， this feeling is increasingly stronger for there are far fewer people standing at her booth than at other booths.She struggled with self-doubt — is it a good decision to attend the exhibition？
Just then， the school’s principal， Mr Thompson， walked into the exhibition hall.He was known for his appreciation of art and had always encouraged students to pursue their passions.As he looked through the exhibits， his eyes caught sight of Emily’s painting.He stopped， stared at it for a moment， took a few steps closer to Emily’s booth and leaned in to examine her painting more closely.
注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式作答。
Emily stood there， barely able to breathe as she waited for his comments.
Watching him walking away， Emily felt a sense of accomplishment and pride.
参考范文：
Emily stood there， barely able to breathe as she waited for his comments.Mr Thompson， with a gentle smile， turned to her and said，“Emily， this is truly remarkable.Your painting captures a sense of tranquility that is rare in today’s world.It’s a breath of fresh air amidst all the noise.” His words were like a balm to her anxious heart.He continued，“I want to commend you for your courage in sharing something so personal and beautiful with us.It’s not easy to stand out in a crowd， but your painting does just that.It speaks volumes without saying a word.”
Watching him walking away， Emily felt a sense of accomplishment and pride.She realized that her painting had touched someone， and that was all that mattered.The fear of being overshadowed melted away， replaced by a newfound confidence.She understood that art wasn’t about competition； it was about expression and connection.As the exhibition came to a close， Emily knew she had made the right decision to participate.She had not only shared her art with the world but had also discovered a part of herself that she never knew existed.
