Then they stepped on it. 4 the ice would hold their weight, Anthony took a few steps, then…FOOMP. He crashed through the 5 frozen surface." There was no sound, no crack," he recalled,"I just fell through instantly". Cruz 6 to help his panicked friend. FOOMP— the pond 7 him too.
The boys were up to their necks in icy water and quickly losing feeling in their limbs. Any chance of their 8 themselves was slipping away. Cruz was sure he was going to die. Anthony's older sister was nearby and started screaming for help.

4、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Knowledge is power, and the more you learn about mental health, the better the position you may be in to help those facing mental health battles. Consider doing the following things to support those closest to you.
Attend a training course
. In fact, anyone can benefit from depression awareness training that focuses on supporting those at risk. You might be a teacher that manages youth or a sports coach wanting to pick up on depression risk signs in your players. You may even be a worried parent who wants to make sure your children can tell you anything. Depression awareness and prevention courses teach you both theoretical and practical skills to recognize warning signs and behaviors. .
Listen
If someone approaches you in their time of need, it's not always easy to know what you' re supposed to do, and it may be more beneficial for you to just listen. . They may just need to get what they are feeling off their chest and to feel valid at that moment. Try your best not to interrupt, but ask questions if you require clarification. The more listening you do, the better your position in deciding what to do next.
.
While being a listening ear is sometimes all. someone needs to feel better, you can also become an ongoing source of support. Check in with the person experiencing a mental health problem like depression so that they know you are always there for them. Make contact with them regularly to see how they are feeling. Just knowing someone cares can make a world of difference.
Call emergency services
Your support, guidance, and listening ear can be of great value to anyone going through a tough time. . If someone you know is experiencing self- abuse thoughts or tendencies, don't delay in seeking emergency help. The faster you act, the safer your friend or family member may be.
A. Check in with them
B. Suggest support services
C. However, it's essential to know your limits
D. Such a course may just help you to prevent someone's depression
E. They may not need you to offer solutions or even give them a hug
F. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is encourage them to seek professional help
G. You don't have to be in a professional health role to attend depression prevention training

5、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
Imagine this. You need an image of a balloon for a work presentation and turn to an AI text- to- image generator, like Midjourney or DALL-E, to create a suitable image. You enter the prompt(提示词)" red balloon against a blue sky" but the generator returns an image of an egg instead.
What's going on? The generator you' re using may have been" poisoned". What does this mean?
Text- to- image generators work by being trained on large databasets that include millions or billions of images. Some of the generators have been trained by indiscriminately (任意地) scraping online images, many of which may be under copyright. This has led to many copyright infringement(侵害) cases where artists have accused big tech companies of stealing and profiting from their work.
This is also where the idea of" poison" comes in. Researchers who want to empower individual artists have recently created a tool named" Nightshade" to fight back against unauthorised image scraping. The tool works by slightly changing an image's pixels(像素) in a way that confuses the computer vision system but leaves the image unchanged to a human's eyes. If an organization then scrapes one of these images to train a future AI model, its data pool becomes" poisoned". This can result in mistaken learning, which makes the generator return unintended results. As in our earlier example, a balloon might become an egg.
The higher the number of" poisoned" images in the training data, the greater the impact. Because of how generative AI works, the damage from" poisoned" images also affects related prompt keywords. For example, if a" poisoned" image of a Picasso work is used in training data, prompt results for masterpieces from other artists can also be affected.
Possibly, tools like Nightshade can be abused by some users to intentionally upload" poisoned" images in order to confuse AI generators. But the Nightshade's developer hopes the tool will make big tech companies more respectful of copyright. It does challenge a common belief among computer scientists that data found online can be used for any purpose they see fit.
Human rights activists, for example, have been concerned for some time about the indiscriminate use of machine vision in wider society. This concern is particularly serious concerning facial recognition. There is a clear connect ion between facial recognition cases and data poisoning, as both relate to larger questions around technological governance. It may be better to see data poisoning as an innovative(创新的) solution to the denial of some fundamental human rights.
(1)、What does the underlined word" scraping" in paragraph 2 probably mean?A、Facilitating. B、Polishing. C、Damaging. D、Collecting.(2)、According to the text, what may adding poisoned data lead to?A、Affecting the training of generative AI. B、Discriminating against great masterpieces. C、Causing users to forget the prompt key words. D、Increasing the accuracy of returned information.(3)、What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A、Computer scientists have learned to respect the copyright of most artists. B、Nightshade is being abused by human rights activists to recognize faces. C、Data poisoning is somehow justified to direct attention to human rights. D、The issue of technological governance has aroused the lawyers' interest.(4)、Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A、Data Poisoning: Restricting Innovation or Empowering Artists B、Data Poisoning: Risks and Rewards of Generative AI Data Training C、Data Poisoning: Addressing Facial Recognition Issues Among Artists D、Data Poisoning: Government Empowering Citizens to Protect Themselves -
6、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
When driving, Clara - Marina Martinez makes a note of any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine- learning algorithms(算法), a form of AI, which she is helping develop for Porsche Engineering.
Those algorithms are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself. Such a fully autonomous car, known in the industry as Level 5, should be able to complete an ____ entire journey without any intervention (介入) from the driver, and deal with all situations on the road. But this is proving hard to achieve, and many attempts to do so are being abundoned. Last year, for instance, Uber sold off its unit developing self- driving cars.
Autonomous vehicles are said to be not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, so do machines. And machines are not quick learners. The RAND Corporation calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, 100 self- driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Carmakers such as Porsche therefore speed up the development process using simulators(模拟器). These teach software about dangers rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ "game engines" to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive. Objects in these virtual worlds are assigned their physical characteristics ( ie, buildings are hard, people are soft) so that the sensors in vehicles respond in the appropriate way. Once the software has been trained, it is tested in real autonomous vehicles by re- creating those situations on a test track.
How quickly all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome the doubt that a software driver really can be safer than a human being.
From Porsche's point of view, though, there is another question. Given that much of the reason owning a sports car is for owners to show off their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those bragging(炫耀的) rights away?
(1)、What does Clara- Marina Martinez intend to do?A、Market Porsche cars. B、Improve an AL technology. C、Learn to be a responsible driver. D、Enjoy riding in a self- driving car.(2)、What is the problem with self- driving cars?A、They learn as slowly as human beings. B、They have to be monitored by human drivers. C、They operate for a very short period of time. D、They need a long time to reach a certain safety level.(3)、What are Dr Martinez and her colleagues doing?A、Fixing sensors in autonomous vehicles. B、Rc- creating road situations on a test track. C、Enabling software to identify road dangers. D、Separating the real world from the virtual world.(4)、What worries Porsche according to the last paragraph?A、The quality of self- driving cars. B、The future of the sports car market. C、The driving skills of human beings. D、The reliability of car software. -
7、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
Lindsey Stallworth, a high school student from Alabama, is on her way to a promising career in paleontology (古生物学) due to an unexpected discovery on family property. For years, she had been collecting fossils on their land in Monroe County, unaware of significant scientific value. However, her teacher at the Alabama School of Math and Science, Dr. Andrew Gentry, a paleontologist himself, took an interest when she showed him her collection.
" Upon examining the fossil shark teeth Lindsey presented, I quickly identified one cr: became eager to learn about its origin," said Andrew.
Lindsey guided her teacher through the rural area where she had unearthed various relics, including shark teeth. Before long, they encountered an especially significant find on the. grounds:a large bone from a 34- million- year- old whale skeleton! This led the pair to launch the huge project of uncovering the rest of the bones. After two months of hard work, they' ve managed to find the animal's skull·(颅骨),
" Assuming the entire skeleton is present, it may require several years for us to have the entire animal back in the lab," Andrew explained.
Lindsey secured a research scholarship to persist in her fossil- digging expeditions alongside her instructor. Her enthusiasm for the project was at an all- time high, though she had never imagined a childhood pastime would lead her down this road." We would go out and pick up shark teeth and fossil shells, but we never knew anyone that could tell us anything about them," she recalled." We just thought they were cool."
" The Research Fellows Program allows Lindsey to gain real- world experience in scientific research and even present that research at professional conferences," Andrew said." It's a once- in-a- lifetime opportunity for a high school student to stand out when applying to college and maybe even discover a new career path."
(1)、Why was Andrew fascinated by Lindsey's finds?A、He had a personal interest in geography. B、He recognized the significance of one fossil. C、He was hoping to be financially independent. D、He wanted to start a paleontology club at school.(2)、What inspired Andrew and Lindsey to start a fossil uncovering project?A、A primitive whale's bone. B、Some fossil shells. C、An animal's skull. D、Some shark teeth.(3)、Which of the following best describes Andrew and Lindsey's project?A、Risky but interesting. B、Dangerous but rewarding. C、Demanding but motivating. D、Boring but groundbreaking.(4)、What is the last paragraph mainly about?A、The unexpected joy of discovering fossils. B、The additional benefits of applying to college. C、Lindsey's potential to become a high school teacher. D、Lindsey's unique opportunities for future development. -
