Spud Webb was born in Texas, the USA, in 1963. He was much smaller than the other kids at school. However, he had a big dream— to play in the NBA.
While attending junior high, Spud tried out for the school team, but he was refused at first because he was too small. He did not lose heart. When he finally got the chance, he scored 20 points in his first game. From then on, he was the star of the team.
In senior high, Spud often had to sit in the stands because of his height. He practised even harder and got the coach to change his mind. Spud went on to become leader of the team. In his last year of senior high, he was named Player of the Year in Texas.
However, no university would invite him to play basketball just because he was only 170 cm tall. He decided to play at a junior college. There he led his team to the national championship. This brought him to the attention of North Carolina State University. As a result, he was admitted to the university and got a scholarship (奖学金).
After he graduated, he played in a basketball league(联队) for about a year before the NBA noticed him. In 1985, he joined the Atlanta Hawks and became the shortest player in the NBA at that time. He had many great achievements, but his proudest moment came in 1986— he won the Slam Dunk Contest.
Through hard work, Spud Webb proved that size and body type do not matter— you can do almost anything if you never give up.

7、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。
The boy sat on his chair, with his hand above the keyboard. He thought about what to write.
He recalled that the competition deadline was merely a week away. But he still had not even started on his piece. He looked at the brochure again. "WRITING COMPETITION!" the title read. His mom had encouraged him to enter the writing competition, and now he was taking it on as his personal task for the holidays.
As the boy reflected on his previous writing efforts, he realized how hopeless his task of winning was. Every story he ever wrote was based on other stories. He had little imagination, and unfortunately, imagination was the key to writing.
Suddenly, he had a brainwave. This time, he came up with an original and imaginative story.
The words shot towards him like a storm of leaves. Words were coming easily, flowing through him, faster than he could type. He typed faster than he ever had before. He continued to type, amazed at how easy writing this story was. The boy could not stop writing. He looked at the word count and saw the number "248" staring right back at him. He was not even halfway yet.
Then he heard the call of his mother saying time for bed. He continued writing the piece, ignoring her. He had to make up for the time he had lost thinking about a topic to write. Finally, he finished. The word count now read "498".
"Perfect," he thought, "just under the word limit." He knew this was the story that would win.
He went onto Google and searched for the competition. He found the page but there was no "Enter" button.
Confused, he then re-read the page again. It read COMPETITION CLOSED.
注意:1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
After a few seconds, the boy eagerly checked the deadline of the COMPETITION on the website.
……
Paragraph 2:
His mother came up and comforted him.

"Grandma? Can I have your2 ?" the teenager replied. He received a photo of a woman he had never seen before. It was Dench, now 64.
Hinton wrote back,"You're not my grandma,"3 a laughing face. Still playing along, he jokingly asked:"Can I still get a4 though?"

ChatGPT — an AI-powered chatbot that responds to questions in a detailed and natural way — is causing a stir (震动) in the education world. Educators, worried that students might use it for cheating on homework, are trying to ban it completely in schools. .
. But students have phones, laptops and any number of other ways of accessing it outside of class. (Just for fun, I asked ChatGPT how a student who intended to use the app might avoid a schoolwide ban. It came up with five answers, all totally reasonable.)
Some teachers have high hopes for tools such as GPTZero, a program claiming to be able to detect AI-generated writing. . Besides, it's easy to fool them by changing a few words, or using a different AI program to paraphrase certain passages.
AI chatbots could be programmed to watermark (加水印) their outputs in some way, so teachers would have an easier time spotting AI-generated text. But this, too, is a weak defence. . But there will be others, and students will soon be able to take their pick, probably including apps with no AI fingerprints.
, do teachers want to spend their nights and weekends keeping up with the latest AI detection software? Several educators I spoke with said that while they found the idea of ChatGPT-assisted cheating annoying, policing it sounded even worse.
It seems that the challenge for educators now is to learn how to use ChatGPT thoughtfully as a teaching aid instead of trying to ban it from the classroom.
A.But these tools aren't reliably accurate
B.But in my view, their attempts are bound to fail
C.That's the biggest reason not to ban it in schools
D.Even if it were technically possible to ban ChatGPT
E.Right now, ChatGPT is the only free, easy-to-use chatbot
F.Sure, a school can block ChatGPT access on school computers and networks
G.Because today's students will graduate into a world full of generative AI programs

It's said that Thomas Edison found an unusual way to enjoy piano music. As someone played, the famous inventor, who had been deaf, would move close to the instrument and bite it. In his own words, it allowed him to "hear through his teeth".
Robert Friedman, who was in the business of buying and selling pianos, recently showed off marks on a piano that was once owned by Edison. The piano had groups of small marks above the keyboard. He was surprised by the tooth marks left by the inventor of the phonograph (留声机) , a music playing device.
Edison invented the phonograph in 1877. Edison ever asked for the piano at the lowest price. When he bought the piano and put it in the lab, he was experimenting with sound recording. He owned the instrument for many years, so it was possibly used in early recordings.
There aren't photographs of Edison biting this piano. But he was thought to bite into phonographs and pianos to help him experience music as his hearing worsened. His daughter once remembered that a guest cried on the spot at the sight of Edison biting into a piano as someone played it.
Friedman calls himself the piano hunter. He finds and buys the famous pianos from people and then sells them, usually to dealers. But this piano is more complex. He is now looking for the right home for the instrument. Friedman says that he believes that it belongs to someplace where many people can see it. Friedman does not want it to go back into private hands because of its connection to Edison. He has to find a historical group that will buy the piano, which he is offering to sell for what it cost him.
(1)、What was Edison's purpose in biting the piano?A、To record his day. B、To enjoy its music. C、To express his anger. D、To mark its importance.(2)、Why did Edison buy the piano?A、To perform music. B、To decorate his lab. C、To test the phonograph's recording. D、To sell it at a very higher price later.(3)、How did the guest feel about Edison's behavior?A、Impressed. B、Pleased. C、Puzzled. D、Embarrassed.(4)、What will Friedman do with the piano?A、Give it away. B、Make a fortune C、Sell it at the original price. D、Keep it somewhere for himself. -

A few years ago, a doctor gave a wrong prescription to a 9-year-old boy because he had accidentally clicked the next medicine listed in the drop-down menu. Unfortunately, the boy died.
Dr. Gidi Stein heard the story and felt forced to do something. "It was like killing someone with a spelling error. He just clicked on the wrong button…Stein said. "One would have thought there'd be some kind of spell-checker to prevent these terrible things from happening. But apparently this is not the case."
Several things were immediately obvious to the 54-year-old Stein, who had previously studied computer science. "If you look at this problem from a bird's eye view, there were so many places down the line where this decision could have been stopped-from the physician to the pharmacy (药房) even to the mother. All of them had all the relevant information to have the judgment that this was just the wrong drug for the wrong patient. For Stein, it represented a systematic failure.
Stein compared this with credit cards. "If you use your credit card in the daily routine over time, a pattern emerges of how we use our cards : the grocery store, the gas station in our local town. If your credit card would appear tomorrow in Zimbabwe, it would be unusual. The credit card company would call you and say, "‘Hey, was that you?'"
But nothing like that existed in the field of prescription drugs. So Stein set up a company called MedAware. He came up with a machine learning outliner detection system. In other words, he trained the computers to realize if a doctor accidentally prescribed the wrong medicine.
The system is already used in hospitals and doctor5 s offices. To date, MedAware has used their technology to help nearly six million patients in the United States and Israel.
(1)、What caused the boy's death?A、The doctor's carelessness. B、The doctor's poor medical skill. C、The failure of the computer. D、The incomplete health care system.(2)、How did Dr. Gidi Stein react to the boy's death?A、He was annoyed and put the blame on the doctor only. B、He was regretful and tried to prevent similar accidents happening. C、He was embarrassed and mistook it as a systematic failure. D、He was confused and detected the mistakes in prescriptions himself.(3)、What does Stein want to tell us by mentioning credit cards?A、Credit cards are available for doctors' prescriptions. B、Instructions in using credit cards are offered to users. C、The boy might have been saved with the technology like credit cards. D、MedAware's technology will benefit the patients in Zimbabwe.(4)、It can be concluded from the text that ____.A、MedAware's technology helps doctors choose right medicine B、MedAware's technology checks the prescriptions doctors make out C、Medical industry worldwide has enjoyed MedAware's technology D、The boy? s mother was not to blame for his death during the accident -

Whatever your tastes are, it is likely that many of you are using 3D printers to create your favorite meals. Still, anyone interested in the future of food can find technologists printing out snacks, from steaks to cakes, at the push of a button. .
Trials at Columbia University are revealing food can be prepared using a 3D printer and cooked using blue light lasers (激光). . So far their experiments with chicken have created laser-cooked samples that have the same flavor profile as traditional cooking. "We need a high-level software that enables people to design the foods they want." group leader Hod Lipson said. " . "
. The world's first 3D printing restaurant — Food Ink — has served up (端上) treats to diners direct from printer to plate. Meat substitute (替代品) companies combine digital modeling with printing to create meat made purely from plant proteins and fats.
High on the list of advantages is the fact that printed food can be healthier, lower the environmental impact of food production, and cut waste. .
A. Now laser cooking has arrived
B. Food printing and new preparations are going mainstream
C. All of this could well change the way we think about and eat food
D. And then we need a place where people can share digital recipes like we share music.
E. Columbia's Creative Machines Lab team is hoping to build a digital personal chef to deliver food to suit individual tastes

It's said that about 4% of people sleepwalk(梦游) at night during their lives. That is, you or some of your families and friends have done so. Sleepwalking happens while one is sleeping. Sleepwalkers walk slowly around the house, say something and then go back to sleep. Their eyes are usually open and look right at you as if they were awake. The next day, they remember nothing when they are asked about what happened the night before.
Sleepwalking is a common problem for many children from 4 to 12 years old. It could run in family. If one of the parents is a sleepwalker, their children may be, too. Scientists still don't know why people sleepwalk, but they find common facts that may lead to sleepwalking. For example, if one is under stress, gets sick or doesn't have enough sleep, he or she will have more chances to sleepwalk. Sleepwalking itself isn't bad, but it may make sleepwalkers get hurt because they are in fact"sleeping" and don't know what they are doing. It is important to keep sleepwalkers from falling down, running into something and even walking out to drive.
What can we do for sleepwalkers? First, try not to wake up a sleepwalker because it may make him or her scared. All you have to do is to show the sleepwalker the way back to bed.
