12、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。
In the quiet town of Willow Creek, lived a young woman named Sarah. Sarah was an artist, known for her paintings of landscapes and animals, but beneath her calm appearance, she struggled with anxiety and depression. The pressures of her job and the isolation she often felt had a negative impact on her mental health, and she spent many days feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from the world around her.
One afternoon, as Sarah was leaving the local art gallery, she noticed a small, scruffy dog sitting by the door. It looked lost, hungry, and a little scared. Sarah's heart softened as she approached the dog, offering it a piece of her sandwich. The dog wagged its tail and sniffed at the food, but instead of eating, it sat down next to her, as if asking for something more. Feeling an instinctive (直觉的)pull, Sarah decided to take the dog home with her, naming it Sunny.
Over the next few weeks, Sunny became Sarah's constant companion. Every morning, he would greet her with an excited bark and a wagging tail. Sarah soon discovered that Sunny was not just a pet, but a therapy dog. Whenever she felt her anxiety starting to set in, Sunny would push her hand with his nose or curl up beside her, offering her the comfort of his presence. His gentle behavior and unconditional love helped Sarah feel less alone, and for the first time in months, she began to feel like she had a purpose.
One evening, Sarah decided to take Sunny for a walk through the woods near a popular campsite. The sun was setting, and the air was fresh and cool. As they walked deeper into the forest, Sarah's mind wandered to the dark thoughts she had been battling for so long. Suddenly, Sunny stopped in his tracks and started barking furiously, looking alertly at a thick patch of bushes. Sarah felt a surge of panic, wondering what had startled (惊吓)him. But before she could react, Sunny dashed toward the bushes, pulling Sarah along with him.

"Directed by Yang Yu, widely known as Jiaozi, the film Ne Zha 2, a massive hit in Chinese cinemas, (break) box office records consistently since its debut, with the box office for the period from Jan. 28 to Feb, 13 (reach) an astonishing 10 billion yuan ($1.37 billion)," the China Film Administration announced Wednesday.
(root) in Chinese mythology, Ne Zha 2 retells ancient stories with a modern twist. Born with unique powers, Ne Zha finds (he) as an outcast (被排斥的人) who is feared and even hated. Fated by prophecy (预言) to bring destruction to the world, the boy must choose good and evil.
In addition to the high quality of the animation and its fascinating account, the film also delivers a powerful visual experience. Besides, the success of the first Ne Zha film in 2019, became the highest-grossing animated film in China at the time, provided solid foundation for the sequel.

15、As a freelancer (自由职业者), I considered a very active social life as a basic human necessity. Yet when I1 that, on average, I spent 22 hours or more each week on2, I realized I might be taking it to an extreme.
So, in order to see if no social life would make me more3, I decided to cut out my social life4. For a whole month, I5 all in-person activities with friends: going out for drinks, dinners,6 and other non-work related events.
On the first day, I had to deal with some strong7. But as the days passed, I started to relax. I began to8 moments of rest and even boredom throughout the day. Such moments are crucial for9. I found myself regularly brainstorming new ideas and reimagining existing projects.

16、Complimenting (赞美) others is a simple yet powerful way to build better relationships, boost someone's self-esteem, and spread positive energy. . Here are some tips to help you become a master at complimenting others and make someone's day.
Be sincere in your words
Sincerity is the foundation of a great compliment. People can usually tell whether a compliment is genuine or not. . Instead, take the time to find something you truly admire about the person. For example, if you say, "Your hard work on this project really shows. I can see how much effort you've put in," it will be much more meaningful than a casual, insincere "Good job."
A compliment will feel more special when it's clear you've noticed something that really matters to the person you're talking to. For example, if your mother-in-law spends a lot of time cultivating her beautiful flower garden, you could compliment her on her excellent eye for color. Complimenting someone on what they're really good at is a sure way to bring a smile to his or her face every time.
Link to their goals or values
If you know what a person values or what their goals are, you can tailor your compliment accordingly. . For instance, if your friend is passionate about environmental protection and has organized a recycling campaign, you can say, "I really admire your dedication to protecting the environment. This recycling campaign is making a real difference, and it shows how much you care."
Add a positive prediction
Ending your compliment with a positive prediction can make it even more powerful. . For example, "You have a real talent for public speaking. I'm sure you'll be a great speaker in the future and inspire many people."
By following these steps, you'll become a master at making others feel valued and appreciated.
A. Admire their personal achievements
B. Avoid giving forced or insincere compliments
C. It gives the person something to look forward to
D. Don't compliment someone just in complicated words
E. This can make your compliment more relevant and meaningful
F. However, not everyone knows how to give effective compliments
G. A compliment should be in line with the situation and your goals

17、Goldman Sachs estimates there were over 80 million social media influencers globally in 2024, spanning platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, with the number growing 10% - 20% annually. While some perceive influencing as a pastime, others pursue it full time, drawn by stories of influencers making tens of thousands of dollars per post or launching their own brands. Morning Consult reports that 57% of American Gen Zers dream of becoming influencers, with 53% referring to it as a "respectable career".
For companies, the appeal of influencer marketing (营销) lies in its capability to target specific audiences through content creators, alongside consumers' rising social media engagement. Influencer Marketing Hub notes 86% of brands globally plan to invest in influencer campaigns in 2025, up from 37% in 2017, with nearly a quarter committing over 40% of their marketing budgets to such efforts.
However, the influencer boom presents challenges. Goldman Sachs reveals only 4% of influencers earn over $100,000 annually. AI-generated "virtual influencers" like Aitana López - a computer-designed fitness expert with 330,000 Instagram followers - threaten to flood feeds (信息流) further. While small creators with modest (不算多的) followings may earn side income, few can quit their regular jobs. Market overcrowding also makes online fame unstable. Joe Gagliese of Viral Nation warns that even viral moments don't guarantee lasting success: "If influencers don't take advantage of the momentum (势头), someone else will."
Consumer exhaustion adds another hurdle. A 2023 McKinsey survey found 68% of global fashion consumers were critical about the massive amount of sponsored content. Anita Balchandani of McKinsey notes influencers initially gained attention as "trusted" voices, but maintaining veracity alongside paid promotions is now crucial. Seeking this balance is key to staying relevant in an overcrowded market.
Ultimately, while the appeal of influencer careers remains, the reality is tough: as the industry grows, so does the gap between the fascinating dream and real sustainability.
(1)、What makes many Gen Zers keen to enter the field of influencing?A、The potential to be wealthy or start their own businesses. B、The opportunity to secure regular corporate jobs. C、The guarantee of immediate success and popularity. D、The rocketing popularity of social media platforms.(2)、Which of the following is NOT a factor discouraging social media influencers?A、Low earnings. B、Companies' preference for AI. C、Intense competition. D、Displeased audiences.(3)、What does the underlined word "veracity" in paragraph 4 most probably mean?A、Popularity. B、Confidence. C、Honesty. D、Competence.(4)、What can be the best title for the text?A、The Rise of Influencers and Their Impact on Social Media B、Opportunities and Challenges within the Influencer Economy C、Gen Zers' Enthusiasm for Entering Sooial Media Influencing D、Brands' Climbing Marketing Budgets for Influencer Campaigns -
18、In the race to develop artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can outperform humans, DeepSeek, one cutting-edge technology, developed by a team of researchers in Asia, has already demonstrated its ability to revolutionize industries ranging from healthcare to finance. However, as DeepSeek's capabilities grow, so do the ethical questions surrounding its use.
One of the most impressive features of DeepSeek is its ability to analyze vast amounts of data in real time. For example, in healthcare, it has been used to predict disease outbreaks by analyzing patterns in patient data. In finance, it has helped banks find fraud with very high accuracy. Yet, these advancements come with a price. It raises concerns about privacy and consent (允许). Who owns the data being used, and how can we ensure it is not misused?
Another area where DeepSeek has shown promise is in natural language processing (NLP). Its ability to understand and generate human language has made it a valuable tool for translation services. However, critics argue that this technology could be weaponized to spread misinformation or influence public opinions. The recent controversy over AI-generated deepfake videos is also a reminder of the potential dangers.
Despite these challenges, people who support DeepSeek argue that its benefits far outweigh the risks. They point to its potential to solve some of the world's most pressing problems, such as climate change and poverty. For instance, DeepSeek has been used to make smarter cities consume less energy, reducing carbon emissions significantly. In agriculture, it has helped farmers increase crop yields by analyzing soil data.
The debate about DeepSeek's ethical influences is far from settled. Some call for stricter regulations to prevent misuse, while others believe that innovation should not be stopped because of fear. As we move forward, one thing is clear: the future of AI will depend on our ability to pursue balance between progress and responsibility.
(1)、What is an advantage of DeepSeek in the field of healthcare according to the text?A、It can diagnose some rare diseases accurately. B、It cuts down patients' medical treatment costs. C、It helps doctors plan treatments more quickly. D、It can predict disease outbreaks via data analysis.(2)、What potential risk might arise from DeepSeek's NLP technology?A、It might be adopted to spread false information in public. B、It would cause virtual assistants to become less intelligent. C、It could lead to a decrease in the quality of translation services. D、It might result in a reduction of job opportunities in the IT field.(3)、What is the author's overall attitude towards DeepSeek?A、Supportive. B、Indifferent. C、Objective. D、Opposed.(4)、What is the main idea of the text?A、The ethical problems of DeepSeek. B、The technical details of DeepSeek. C、The industries that DeepSeek helps. D、The development history of AI in Asia. -
