It was perhaps the worst time for Kevin Butler. It was on the morning of Nov. 23. Butler's wife, Cindy, had cleaned her rings and left them in a napkin (餐巾纸) to dry on the kitchen counter. Butler threw the napkin into a trash (垃圾) bag. He'd then taken the bag to the transfer station. Shortly after, as his wife nervously searched the house for her rings, Butler realized where the missing rings might be: “I've got a feeling they're in the trash,” he told her. Butler rushed over to the transfer station around 2 p.m. knowing the chances of finding the rings were small. But still worth a try.

As he told the workers there what had happened, Butler appeared “a little nervous,” said Senibaldi, the general services director for the town. “I could see in his eyes that he was stressed.”

Luckily, the trailer (拖车) including Butler's bags had not yet left the site. Once they tracked down the trailer, the search began for Butler's specific trash bag. It was a team effort to check all the waste —which totaled 40,000 pounds, in the trailer. Other workers saw what was happening and came over to help. They all knew it would take a long time.

“It was like looking for a needle in a haystack,” Butler said. “I thought they were gone because we were just about done, and there was nothing there.”

“Then Senibaldi saw the two rings sitting in the bottom of a bag,” Butler said. “I lost my mind, and I gave him a big hug.”

Everyone had big smiles, and they all celebrated together. “I'm glad that the town of Windham and the transfer station are getting this positive publicity. It was truly something to be thankful for,” said Butler, explaining that he was touched by the workers who helped him.

24、What did Butler do on the morning of Nov. 23?

A. He picked up rings in the trash.

B. He helped his wife clean her rings.

C. He mistakenly threw his wife's rings away.

D. He asked his wife for help dealing with the trash.

25、What happened after Butler rushed to the transfer station?

A. The trailer started to pull away. B. He located his trash bag at once.

C. He shared his experience calmly. D. The workers teamed up to give him a hand.

26、What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean?

A. It was a tiring day.  B. It was a costly effort.

C. It was a sharp lesson to learn. D. It was almost impossible to find.

27、What did Butler think of the workers?

A. Careful. B. Successful. C. Admirable. D. Responsible.

Archer Calder spent his childhood unable to talk with his younger sister, Della.

Della has Bainbridge-Ropers syndrome, a condition which affects her ability to speak. In her early teens, she was introduced to augmentative and alternative ( 增强型和替代型) communication (AAC) applications, programs designed to help people who have trouble with speech or language skills. Some applications were quite expensive, but her family was disappointed with the results.

So Archer began using his coding ( 编程) abilities to help his sister communicate. The boy developed a web - based application called Freespeech. The site can be accessed ( 进入) from any device — phones, tablets and computers — with Internet access. The simple website lets users program buttons ( 按钮) with pictures of their choice to represent words. When clicked, the word is sounded out loud.

Unlike many other AAC applications, Freespeech's buttons are easily editable, a feature Archer believed was important to how Della wanted to communicate.

It wasn't long before the Calder family noticed a change in how Della was able to communicate with them. “In the past, when we had to go somewhere, we just took her. She never really discussed it with us,” the father said. “Freespeech has really helped to bring her more into the conversation and more into the life of our family.” The family says it has also helped them discover more of her personality.

Archer made his website free for anyone to use and posted it on TikTok, hoping it might reach other families like his who might find it useful.

For Archer, Freespeech is still a work in progress. He's now working on plans to make the software convenient to use without an Internet connection, something he sees as a disadvantage.

He said he's encouraged to keep working on the project, not only for Della, but by the people who have since reached out to share how the app has helped their own families.

28、 How did Archer feel about some of the AAC applications his sister used at first?

A. They were cheap but useless. B. They were uncomfortable to use.

C. They were unsatisfying and costly. D. They were helpful but too expensive.

29、What is a major advantage of Freespeech over other AAC applications?

A. It has a free Internet connection. B. It uses pictures instead of words.

C. It can be used on different platforms. D. It allows users to personalize buttons.

30、How has Freespeech affected Della?

A. She has become interested in coding.

B. She has developed a stronger personality.

C. She has learned new communication skills.

D. She has taken part more in her family life.

31、What does Archer plan to do with his application?

A. Make it free to use. B. Make it usable offline.

C. Improve its sound system. D. Share it with other families.

Jason M. Allen of Pueblo West, Colorado, began experimenting with AI-generated ( 人工智能创作的) art this year. This summer, he saw people testing Midjourney, which uses a process to turn text into custom images. Finally, Allen got the idea to give one of his Midjourney creations to the Colorado State Fair. Several weeks later, while walking around the fairground in Pueblo, Allen found he had won, along with a $300 prize.

After his win, Allen posted a photo of his prize work online. It made its way to Twitter, where many people expressed their disapproving ( 反对的) attitude. “We're watching the death of artistry,” one Twitter user wrote. Another wrote: “I can see how AI art can be beneficial, but saying you're an artist by generating one? Of course not.” Some artists stand with Allen, saying that using AI to create a piece was no different from using Photoshop or other tools and that human creativity is still required to generate an award-winning piece.

Controversy ( 争论) over new artmaking technologies is nothing new. Many painters feared the invention of the camera, which they saw as a debasement (降低) of human artistry.

What makes the new kind of AI tools different, some people believe, is not just that they're able to produce beautiful works of art with little effort, but how they work. “What makes this AI different is that it's trained on working artists,” RI Palmer, a digital artist, tweeted last month. “This thing wants our jobs; it's actively against the artist.”

Allen said he understood artists who feared that AI tools would put them out of work. But “People should only be unsatisfied with the technology itself,” he said. “The ethics (伦理学) isn't in the technology. It's in the people.” And he strongly suggested artists deal with their fear of AI. “This isn't going to stop,” Allen said. “Art is dead. It's over. AI won. Humans lost.”

32、What did Allen do this summer?

A. He hosted a big fair.

B. He started to get to know AI.

C. He handed in an AI-generated piece and won.

D. He invited some artists to discuss the future of art.

33、How did some artists speak up for Allen?

A. By saying that his piece differed from ones created by other tools.

B. By saying that his piece was partly a result of his creativity. 

C. By saying that his piece was a new form of art.

D. By explaining that AI could be beneficial.

34、As for creating art pieces with AI tools, RI Palmer was ______.

A. supportive B. disapproving C. regretful D. uncertain

35、What advice did Allen give artists?

A. Try to accept AI tools. 

B. Join in different art competitions.

C. Comment on artworks based on ethics.

D. Focus on their own artistic creations.

54、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。

When Mia was four years old, the doctors diagnosed (诊断) her with alopecia areata, which caused all her hair to fall out. Going bald (秃头的) at such a young age wasn't easy for her. Her mother Meredith Bailey thought gifting a bald doll (玩偶) to her daughter would help her feel confident. Bailey knew her daughter wanted a doll, so she went to an American Girl store on Mia's birthday in 2015. Inside the store, Bailey looked for a bald doll that Mia could relate to, but she couldn't find any.

Curious, she asked the staff about bald dolls and learned buyers could place an order for them. The store did not display the bald dolls back then.

Bailey thought her daughter would love playing with a bald American Girl doll, so she placed an order and gifted it to Mia on her birthday.

While gifting the doll to her daughter, Bailey had no idea that Mia would soon ask her questions that would leave her speechless. She wasn't expecting Mia to come up with such interesting questions.

“I knew she wanted the doll, but I didn't realize the happiness it would bring. She had a doll that was just like her — it was a piece of her,” Bailey said.

The doll was Mia's best gift, but looking at it made her wonder if other children also bought bald dolls, so she asked her mother about it.

Bailey told Mia that other kids also liked such dolls by explaining that the doll might be similar to one of their friends or they buy it thinking it is pretty. Little did she know that Mia would come up with another thought-provoking (发人深省的) question.

Mia asked her mother why the bald dolls weren't sold at the store if they were so popular. The question left Bailey speechless and made her wonder why buyers had to place an order to buy a bald doll.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

On Mia's 8th birthday, Bailey took her to the American Girl store and a bald doll on display caught the pair's attention.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Since Bailey thought sharing her feelings with the manager wasn't enough, she penned a heartfelt note and posted it on American Girl's Facebook page.

18、答案：C

解析：Everyone in my family loves animals. These days my mother has stopped working as a doctor and started to sell pet food, toys, and things like that. In her free time, she walks our dog. I was very happy when I finally got a dog, two years ago. I had wanted a cat when I was little but my parents thought a rabbit was a much better pet for me. Unluckily, I only had it for one year. Now we have many different animals at home because my father owns an animal shelter. We never say no if an animal needs our help. We always try to find them new homes with kind people. I understand the animals we save need a good home. I feel upset when a new animal that someone has left on the street or hurt comes to us. I don't understand how anyone could do that. I want to work with animals when I leave school, so every weekend, when my friends go shopping, I go to help collect eggs from the chickens and give water to the cows on a farm. I think it's the best job.

54、答案：

On Mia's 8th birthday, Bailey took her to the American Girl store and a bald doll on display caught the pair's attention. Then, Bailey and Mia walked through the store and saw another doll with no hair inside a glass display. Looking at dolls representing girls like her daughter touched Bailey, and she couldn't keep her tears back inside the store. Before leaving, Bailey approached a manager to thank the staff for putting bald dolls on display. She told him how happy Mia felt after knowing they gave equal importance to dolls that looked like her.

Since Bailey thought sharing her feelings with the manager wasn't enough, she penned a heartfelt note and posted it on American Girl's Facebook page. Bailey believed bald dolls in toy stores could spark meaningful conversations between children and parents and give parents a chance to educate their kids about alopecia. Such conversations would normalize children having no hair, and she wouldn't have to see people look at Mia in surprise whenever the little girl went out in public without covering her head with a wig or a hat. Bailey said: “We are different. Toys should be different too.”
