I try to be a good father. Cook my kids good dishes, and take them to photo shoots. But compared with Dick Hoyt, I suck. Eighty-five times he’s pushed his disabled son, Rick, in marathons.
This love story began in Winchester, Mass., 43 years ago, when Rick was strangled (缠住)by the umbilical cord（脐带）during birth, leaving him brain-damaged and unable to control his limbs (四肢). “He’ll be a vegetable（植物人）the rest of his life,” doctors told Dick and his wife, Judy, when Rick was nine months old. “Put him in an institution.” But the Hoyts weren’t buying it. They noticed the way Rick’s eyes followed them around the room.
When Rick was 11, they took him to the engineering department at Tufts University. Equipped with a computer, Rick was finally able to communicate. After a high school classmate was paralyzed（使瘫痪）in an accident, and the school organized a charity run for him, Rick said, “Dad, I want to do that.” How was Dick, a man who never ran more than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles? Still, he tried. That day changed Rick’s life. “Dad,” he typed, “when we were running, it felt like I wasn’t disabled anymore!”
That sentence changed Dick’s life. He became obsessed with giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. They even decided to try marathons. “No way,” Dick was told by a race official. They weren’t quite a single runner, and they weren’t quite a wheelchair competitor. For a few years, Dick and Rick joined the massive field and ran anyway. In 1983, they ran another marathon so fast that they made the qualifying time for the Boston Marathon the following year.
Now they’ve done 212 triathlons and 85 marathons. “ My dad is the Father of the Century,” Rick typed.
24. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?
A. The Hoyts didn’t believe it was true. B. The Hoyts couldn’t afford any institution.
C. The Hoyts couldn’t deal with the situation. D. The Hoyts had no money for their son’s treatment.
25. What’s discussed in the third paragraph?
A. Why Rick became paralyzed. B. How Rick started running.
C. Why running changed Rick’s life D. How Rick communicated with others.
26. They got the chance to join the 1984 Boston Marathon because __________.
A. they ran a marathon very fast B. they got support from a charity
C. they met a sympathetic race official D. they had become very famous in the process
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A boy with a rare disease B. The greatest dad in the world
C. A tough road to world champion D. Parents' influence on children's future
C
If you had boarded a passenger plane in 1950, you would have seen five people in the cockpit (驾驶舱): two pilots, a radio operator, a navigator and a flight engineer. Over the years, technical advances have gradually removed the need for the last three, leaving just two pilots. That has been the norm(标准)in commercial aviation for decades.
However, things could be simplified further--one of the two remaining pilots could soon go. Many military aircraft are already manned by a single pilot, and for commercial aviation this would mean stepping into a brave new world.
But how will airlines make this brave innovation come true? One way is to greatly increase automation in the cockpit, devoting more tasks to computers. Another is to shift the same tasks from the cockpit to the ground. “The latter approach seems to be more workable, at least in the short term, because much of what is required already exists,” says Patrick Smith, an airline pilot flying Boeing 767 aircraft. “A trained ground operator could observe a number of flights at once and even fully control the plane remotely if needed.”
It’s true that single-pilot operations could help airlines save money, but there is another reason which makes them quicken their pace for this crucial breakthrough. Boeing predicts a need for 600,000 new pilots in the next two decades, but by some estimates, there will be a deficit(赤字)of at least 34,000 pilots globally by 2025. Reducing the number of pilots on some crews or aircraft could lessen the impact of this.
Perhaps the biggest barrier to a single pilot will be selling the idea to passengers. In 2019, Don Hairis, a professor at Coventry University, conducted a survey on the prospect of flying on an airliner with just one pilot. Just a minority of participants said they’d be willing to take that flight, and the general idea was that removing a pilot increased the possibility of accidents. In the study, Harris concluded that the single-crew airliner would be still probably 20 years away.
28. What is the potential trend in commercial aviation according to the text?
A. It will make air travel eco-friendly.
B. It will switch to single-pilot operations.
C. It will tighten its flight control for safety concerns.
D. It will bring in many military aircraft to the industry.
29. What does Patrick Smith think is a quick way to realize airlines’ brave innovation?
A. Raising the standards in admitting new pilots. B. Making pilots adaptable to different situations.
C. Using computers to automate the flight process. D. Gaining piloting support from ground operators.
30. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The shortage of pilots. B. The need for new airlines.
C. The airlines’ brave innovation. D. The financial problem airlines face.
31. What can be inferred from Don Harris’study?
A. The prospect of single-crew airliners is bright.
B. It's urgent that airlines reduce airplane accidents.
C. Passengers are willing to try new types of airplanes.
D. Airlines have a long way to go before the innovation occurs.
D
This week, Google researchers published a paper describing results from an AI tool built to create music. The tool, called MusicLM, is not the first AI music tool to be launched. But the examples Google provided demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words.
Several different music examples produced by MusicLM were published online. Some of the generated music came from just one- or two-word descriptions, such as “jazz”, “rock” or “techno (高科技舞曲)”. The tool also created other examples from more detailed descriptions containing whole sentences.
In one example, Google researchers included these instructions to MusicLM, “It is a soundtrack of a game. It is fast-paced and upbeat, with a catchy electric guitar riff (反复乐节). The music is repetitive and easy to remember, but with unexpected sounds ...” In the resulting recording, the music seemed to keep very close to the description. The team said the more detailed the description was, the better the system could attempt to produce it.
The MusicLM model operates similarly to the machine-learning systems used by ChatGPT. ChatGPT and MusicLM both require powerful computers to operate complex machine-learning models. The San Francisco-based company OpenAI launched ChatGPT late last year. ChatGPT has recently received a lot of attention because of its ability to generate complex writings and other content from just a simple description in natural languages. Such tools can produce human-like results because they are trained on huge amounts of data. Many different materials are fed into the systems to permit them to learn complex skills to create realistic works.
However, the MusicLM researchers said there were some risks linked to the new tool. One of the biggest issues the researchers identified was biases (偏好) present in the training data. A bias might be including too much of one side and not enough of the other. The researchers said this raised a question about appropriateness for music generation for cultures underrepresented in the training data.
32. What can we learn about MusicLM?
A. It is the first AI music tool to be launched.
B. It requires detailed descriptions of full sentences.
C. It creates music based on simple descriptive words.
D. It generates complex writings from a simple description.
33. What is the similarity between ChatGPT and MusicLM?
A. They can take the place of musicians. B. They have gained commercial success.
C. They don't have any practical use in life. D. They are based on huge amounts of data.
34. Which of the following is an issue of the MusicLM model?
A. Creating music with strong biases. B. Requiring too much training data.
C. Being difficult for some people to use. D. Producing music works with no creativity.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The future of humans with AI B. A new AI tool to make music
C. Music created by some AI tools D. AI and its function in culture development

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Household chores like cooking, cleaning, washing the dishes, and making the bed are never done; they just get repeated like a broken record. Boring! 36 . But there are science-based reasons for changing your attitude towards chores. It turns out that doing chores is great for your health.
37 . As researchers state in a report, doing undemanding tasks allows the mind to wander. Your mind gets a break, which allows you to consider old problems with new eyes. In fact, undemanding tasks stimulate (激发)more creative ideas than demanding tasks or just resting.
Chores are linked to a lower dementia (痴呆) risk. To discover what activities might be linked to a lower rate of dementia, researchers analyzed massive amounts of healthcare data from the UK Biobank. They found that those most engaged in household chores had a 21 percent lower risk of dementia compared to those least engaged in chores. 38 .
Finishing your chores can increase motivation. BJ Fogg, author of Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything, states that the most important skill is recognizing and celebrating successes. Completing even a small task, like making your bed, can give you a sense of satisfaction. 39 . Similarly, author Admiral William H. McRaven argues that if you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.
Chores are good for children’s mental health. Children develop a sense of ownership when they have jobs to do around the house and it makes them feel like they are an important member of the household. 40 . In my own case, I bond with my daughter by gossiping（闲聊）and singing while we do chores together.
A. Chores are an opportunity for “me time”
B. Chores can lead to creative problem-solving
C. Thus, you feel motivated to deal with tasks one after another
D. In this way, they can be taught to be independent and confident
E. Like many people, you may regard chores as something annoying
F. Doing chores with children also improves the parent-child relationship
G. This result indicated simple changes could make a difference to health

For 19-year-old Stuart’s father, Peter, his family was his strength and pride.“Together we achieve but divided, we fall,” he often told his four sons, and Stuart was the youngest. Besides family, there was something else that Peter, 56, cherished and believed kept his family united and strong. It was his treasured farm that was passed on from generation to generation.
One day, however, his 19-year-old son, Stuart, approached his dad and told him he wanted his share of the fortune so that he could move to the city and start living his life alone. It was a terrible blow to Peter, who never wished to see his family break.
“But, you don’t know much about city life. I am afraid you’d wander like a lost lamb. This is your family, and we will always support you,” Peter disappointedly said as soon as Stuart told him his intention to leave the house.
“Dad, I’m nineteen, and I have heard plenty about the city from my friends. I don’t want to waste my time and energy farming with you. I have a purpose in life, and I don’t want to become a farmer like you.”
Peter tried changing his mind. “Son, I can give you your share of the fortune. But dear, this is too early to decide.” However, Stuart insisted on going out, so Peter had to give him his share.
Three years went by. Neither Peter nor his family heard anything about Stuart. One day, when the family least expected it, they saw a young man walk toward them. As he neared, they saw his old and dirty clothes and a face that had lost its charm. It was Stuart! Peter was shocked. “Daddy, I need your help ... I’m hungry,” Stuart cried.
“Oh, my dear ... Please sit down first,” Peter said and brought some tea and bread for him. Then Peter asked why he was in such a poor situation.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式作答。
Stuart said he took the money and went to the city.


Overwhelmed by (被震撼)their love, Stuart was moved to tears.

Dear Judy,
I’m writing to express my gratitude for your warm hospitality.
Just in the past summer vacation, I visited your hometown. As a local resident and my close friend, not only did you show me around the scenic spots, but also treated me to various foods, which contributed to my unique and unforgettable journey. What's more, exposed to the cultural festival, I gained knowledge about the local culture. How amazing!
Words fail me when I try to show how grateful I am. Thank you so much! Best wishes!
Yours
Li Hua

续写 One possible version:
Stuart said he took the money and went to the city. He started a small business and wanted to achieve big success quickly. Thus he could come back to family as a wealthy businessman. At first, everything went smoothly, but before long he failed in his business and lost all his money. Peter took Stuart to his room and said. “You might have left us, but we never forgot you. Your mom regularly changed the bed sheets and curtains like we did when you were here. I knew you would come back to us one day.”
Overwhelmed by their love, Stuart was moved to tears. From that day on, Stuart dedicated his time and energy to the farm and worked hard to prove himself worthy of his family’s love. He learned new farming techniques and took every little step to improve their income. Stuart realized that family was more important than money and success and that there would be no success without the love or support of family.

His goal is to raise people’s awareness of cancer by climbing the highest mountains on each continent.(17)
About 30,000 people a year attempt to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. For Jacob, his biggest worry is the altitude of the mountain. (18) To achieve his goal, he has been getting a lot of training by running. (19) Although there are many unknown challenges, Jacob believes he will make it. Jacob always remembers his dad’s favorite quote, “Never give up.” He also does it as his father said. Jacob will try his best to support patients and families undergoing cancer treatments.
