She was the new girl in our school, Anna. She had the prettiest face in our school and she had very nice manners, but I hated her. I was jealous(妒忌的) of her as I was the most popular girl in the school and I didn't want her to be liked by everyone, so I spread rumors(谣言) about her but she never looked at me with anger.
I bullied Anna mentally most of the time and I never realized that I was that rude. She would cry bitterly every time I spoke ill of her parents. Anna was being liked by more and more people because of her good attitude. I was really angry with her.
One day, I saw that there was a poster for our Prom(正式舞会). I wanted to become the Prom Queen this time. When the Prom Princesses were announced, Anna was one of them. My heart was burning with jealousy as I had the fear that she might be chosen for Prom Queen.
I saw Anna buying a dress for her Prom from the same mall I was buying mine. We chose the same dress but she was looking more brilliant than I was with her beautiful long brown hair. When she was going back home, I followed her and went into her house. Her house was very small and I didn't see any of her family members there. I tore her dress in front of her. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears but I didn't feel sorry for her.
Several days before the Prom, I was walking on the street while listening to a song. The volume was so high that I did not realize a car was behind me, honking(按喇叭) to warn me that it was in a very fast speed.

However, about 10 years ago, when I was 3 a beautiful long blue evening dress. I stopped. From a hidden pocket I pulled out an old 4 . In it a young woman was 5 the very same blue evening dress. A long silver chain necklace hung 6 down the front of the dress. Holding a black purse, she had a soft 7 . Who was she? Did she wear it to the theater? And I was now tearing it apart. I felt 8 .
I mentioned my 9 and guilt to my daughter. She said, "Mom, you should be 10 of your upcycling and your sewing creations. You are keeping these clothes from being 11 away If you find objects in the pockets, consider it a 12 ."

11、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。选项中有两项为零余选项。
If you lost your watch after a football match, you'd notice it. If you came home to find your jewelry drawer on the floor, you would probably cry out, "We've been robbed!" However, people hardly notice when they're robbed of something much more valuable. .
We are miserably aware that we never seem to finish our work. But we do. The problem is that we let people and devices take it from right under our noses
They're usually the most important people in our lives: the boss, colleagues, family and friends. "Got a minute?" they ask. And just like that, you're robbed again of something valuable that you can never get back.
If you're like most people, you lose three to five hours every day. It goes to interruptions; that's where. If you want to get that stolen time back and use it the way you desire, here's what to do:
First of all, count it up. Don't be fooled by that "Got a minute?", because such interruptions throw you off tasks and leave you frustrated of having to make up for time lost. You need to Count it all up. Secondly, explain to your time robbers that you have their best interests at heart so that they will not be disappointed. Lastly, work alone, totally focused on important tasks and stop losing your precious time.
A. Don't take it into account
B. That is their precious time
C. Who are these "time robbers"?
D. Worse yet, you don't realize where the time goes
E. We complain that we simply don't have enough time
F. Total up the time you're losing to interruptions every day.
G. They never know what prevents them from the good stuff

12、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Intel has created the world's largest neuromorphic(神经形态) computer, a device intended to imitate the operation of the human brain. The firm hopes it will be able to run more complicated AI models than is possible on conventional computers.
A regular computer uses its processor to carry out operations and stores data in separate memory, but a neuromorphic device uses artificial neurons to both store and compute, just as our brains do. This removes the need to transmit data back and forth between components, which limits the speed of current computers.
It also means "brain-like" computers can be more energy efficient. Intel claims its new Hala Point neuromorphic computer uses 1% of the energy a conventional machine takes when running optimization(优化)problems, which involve finding the best solution to a problem given certain restrictions. Mike Davies at Intel says that despite its big power, Hala Point is about as big as a microwave oven. Intel suggests that a machine like Hala Point could create Al models that learn continuously, rather than needing to be trained to learn each new task, as is the case with current models.
But James Knight at the University of Sussex, UK says current models like ChatGPT are trained using graphics cards operating in parallel(平行), meaning that many chips can be put to work on training the same model. But as neuromorphic computers work with a single input and can't be trained in parallel, it is likely to take decades to train something like ChatGPT on such hardware, not to mention make it learn continually, he says.
While today's neuromorphic hardware still needs to be improved, says Davies, it could one day take pre-trained models and let them learn new tasks. "This is the kind of continual learning problem that we believe large-scale neuromorphic systems like Hala Point can solve in the future," he says.
(1)、What do we know about the neuromorphic computer?A、It operates like the human brain. B、It stores and computes separately. C、It needs to transmit data among components. D、It is more complicated than the current computer.(2)、What does Paragraph 3 focus on concerning Hala Point?A、Its cost. B、Its application. C、Its appearance. D、Its advantage.(3)、What can be inferred from Knight's words?A、ChatGPT only works with a single input B、Neuromorphic computers can learn continuously C、Neuromorphic computers are unfit for training ChatGPT D、Graphics cards of neuromorphic computers operate in parallel(4)、What is Davies' attitude to neuromorphic computer?A、Unclear. B、Doubtful. C、Concerned. D、Optimistic. -

The tale of the ants who scared the elephants to help the lions catch the zebras may sound like a children's fairy tale, but it is a true story with an unhappy ending for the big cats. Lions in Kenya are being pushed closer to endangered situation because the acacia trees that they rely on for cover while hunting zebras are dying. leaving them nowhere to hide while hunting.
Scientists were surprised that acacia trees were able to grow fast in the Nature Conservancy in central Kenya, as there are so many leaf-eating mammals such as elephiants and giraffes that would normally eat up the tree leaves.
The acacias' secret weapon is a species of ant that lives in the tree. The trees are historically protected from leaf-eating animals by this species. In return for their home, the ants defend the trees from huge plant eaters, like elephants, giraffes, an arrangement ecologists call mutualism(共生).
About 15 years ago, unnoticed by environmentalists, a new species of ant slipped into the region. It is thought that this invasive species, known as the big-headed ant, often found hidden in the wood used in construction, was brought to the area by human activity. These ants set about attacking and destroying the ants that used to defend the trees. The new ants do not make any effort to protect the trees, leaving the acacia trees defenceless. This has set off a chain of events, resulting in a shift in predator-prey(捕食者—猎物)behaviour that may further endanger populations of lions, researchers said. "The lions rely on the tree cover to hunt and hide before attacking zebras. Less tree cover means lions are not as successful at ambushing(伏击)their prey."
(1)、Why is the tale of the ants mentioned?A、To make comparison. B、To provide evidence. C、To introduce the topic. D、To support an argument.(2)、What made the acacia trees survive?A、People's protection. B、Defence of the ants in them. C、Their ability to grow fast. D、The leaf-eaters' disappearance.(3)、What can we learn about the big-headed ants?A、They originally existed in the region. B、They successfully defended the trees. C、They contributed a lot to the ecosystem. D、They arrived with the wood for construction.(4)、Which of the following is the best title for the text?A、Natural Selection: Survival of the Fittest B、Insects and Mammals' Fight for a Living C、Which is Endangered, Plants or Animals? D、A New Ant Species Endangers the Big Cats -

Rachel began rowing when she was 53, after spotting a six-oar rowing boat in Bristol harbour Fascinated by its size and distinctive appearance, she was encouraged to do a trial run. "As soon as I got on the water. I was hooked," she says. "Feeling your whole body working and the fresh air on your skin is amazing."
It wasn't until 2017, though, that Rachel's Atlantic plans were born. She had experienced back pain occasionally since her teens, and then one day, while at home, she was suddenly unable to walk
"I knew I needed to keep myself healthy-minded, so I began thinking of things I could look forward to after I had surgery," she said.
Rachel had retired a few years earlier, when she moved from Bristol to the coast to help look after her elderly mother. "Every time I decided to go on holiday or leave, I'd get a call to find out mum was in hospital. Eventually, I stopped making plans," she says. "But as soon as I was disabled myself, it made me realize that I had to do something to make my own life count."
After successful surgery, Rachel began driving around the country to meet other women who had undertaken endurance rows. Hearing the experiences and advice of other athletes gave Rachel the confidence she needed. Soon after, she heard that a new boat maker was building a team for a maiden voyage across the Atlantic. So Rachel began intensive training, even adapting her garden into a gym during the Covid lockdowns. Finally, she set off in 2021.
Empowered by this successful expedition, she has been inspired to keep pushing the limits, planning to break a few world records by rowing around the UK at 64, and motorcycling through the Himalayas later in the year. "I know my body is changing and the physical challenge is greater, but that just makes me want to achieve even more," she says.

16、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。
Leaving the busy and noisy store, I hurried back to my car, my mind preoccupied with the tasks awaiting me at home. However, as I reached for my car keys in my pocket, a sinking feeling washed over me — I had locked both my keys and cell phone inside the vehicle. Frustration surged through my veins. Feeling extremely annoyed, I couldn't help but let out a string of choice words, punctuated by a swift kick to the tire.
Just then, a teenager on his bicycle happened to pass by, his eyes catching my display of frustration. Sensing an opportunity to lend a hand, he pulled over and asked, "What's wrong?"
I took a deep breath, grateful for a sympathetic ear, and explained my situation. "I've managed to lock my keys and cell phone inside the car," I sighed. "My wife must be really worried as I should have been home by now." "Even if I could call my wife, she wouldn't be able to bring me her car key since this is our only vehicle."
Without hesitation, the teenager extended his hand, offering me his cell phone. "Here, you can use mine to call your wife," he said, his youthful voice brimming with sincerity.
I accepted his offer gratefully, dialing my wife's number and relaying the situation to her. I could sense her concern on the other end of the line, but she remained calm and asked for my exact position.
"I'll need to see if I can borrow any of our neighbours' cars." "I've thought about this plan, but most of them must be in town for the carnival today." I sighed. But she just reassured me that she would find the extra key and find a way to get here as soon as possible.
As I ended the call, I expressed my gratitude to the teenager, but a new worry crept into my mind. "It's a seven-mile trip for my wife," I said, "even if she could borrow a car, she hasn't driven for long and she's pregnant." The teenager asked, "Did you just say you live in the Medway street? My school is nearby so I'm quite familiar with the route. Just tell your wife I'm coming to get the key." "But that's seven miles! It'll take you at least an hour round trip."

The teenager simply smiled, with a determined look on his face.
