The first time you make a speech is truly a special moment, and I will surely never forget the one I gave.
As a kid, I was extremely1 and seldom said anything2 to stay quiet most of the time. When I was about to graduate from3 school I remember that my teacher pulled me aside and offered to make a4 with me. She told me how I was getting As in all of my subjects5 handwriting, in which I had only managed to receive a C. She said if I were to 6 the welcome speech at graduation, I would get an A in handwriting.
My first thought was that giving a speech doesn't sound like much7 .But who was I to complain if I could get an A so8 ? The speech I wrote was9 boring. It started with something as lifeless and10 as "Good afternoon parents, teachers, and students. Welcome to the graduation ceremony."
As you can see, my speech was nothing fancy and I am sure nobody 11 it either. But the important lesson is that I12 it and I realized the earlier you can standup and speak, the better it is. The next year in junior high school, I found it had given me more13 when I started14 the student council(学生会). Giving a speech 15 its quality was an important first step that I took and hopefully you can too.

For centuries Antarctica has attracted people from around the world. Explorers sought to travel there. Scientists have studied weather, wildlife, and geology there for decades. In the last few decades, though, scientists have reported that the ice is melting.
That's a difficult question to answer. The loss of ice in Antarctica has not been linear (直线的). That means it isn't a steady decrease. In fact, the rate of melting can vary greatly from year to year. Still, scientists warn that the continent's ice sheet is shrinking.
Climate change is warming the world's oceans and affecting the currents (洋流) of the Earth's oceans. These currents are bringing more warm water to Antarctica than ever recorded.
Today, the planet is warming at a rate that alarms scientists. The effects of such a rise could cause major problems. It will increase flooding, especially in areas near shores. A large rise in sea level could even make some regions uninhabitable. This could cause millions around the world to become climate refugees (难民).
Can humans stop Antarctica from melting? Probably not — but experts do believe people can slow the process. How can you help? Pay attention to your carbon footprint. Only changes on a large, global scale (范围) can truly make a difference to Antarctica.
A. How quickly is Antarctica melting?
B. Is human activity contributing to the melting of Antarctica's ice?
C. The ice of Antarctica is the result of thousands of years of snow.
D. West Antarctica is the region most affected by these warm waters.
E. Talk with your family about ways to reduce your use of fossil fuels.
F. If this continues, melting ice could lead to a serious rise in sea level.
G. Experts say the melting of Antarctica's ice sheet is caused by rising temperatures.

Between 1945 and 2000, educators employed a fairly uniform approach. The teacher was the sun in the classroom, and all lessons and activities centered around him or her. Educators stressed the importance of discipline and obedience(服从) within the classroom, and students were expected to follow very rigid standards for behavior and academic performance. The stated goal of this model was to ensure fairness by applying the same expectations; however, the result was that only a few students succeeded while many others were left behind.
When computers and Internet technology entered the classroom a few decades ago, another pattern appeared and progressive educators immediately saw the opportunity to change the way school worked. Instead of needing to focus on the teachers for the vast majority of the day, students could use computers, websites, and even games to learn new materials and improve their skills and knowledge. Not all educators welcomed this shift, however, as some believed it took power and responsibility away from the teachers and cheapened the educational experience for learners.
Over the last decade, two distinct camps of educators have emerged. Tech advocates stress that computers and Internet technology allow students to learn at their own pace in an environment that makes them feel comfortable, while the traditional classroom sets a pace that many learners can't keep up with and often makes students feel uncomfortable. Traditionalists, on the other hand, believe that over-reliance on tech limits students' ability to develop their own knowledge and skills and does little to prepare them for the realities of being adults in the real world.
Regrettably, the inability of these two parties to find an agreement has prevented the growth of our education system. We must learn from what worked in the past while adopting the best of our new technologies to create an education system that reflects our modern world. If we can't get all our teachers on the same page, then we will be at risk of failing future generations.
(1)、Who can probably learn better under the 1945 -2000 model of education?A、Lisa who tends to read by herself. B、Michael who disciplines himself. C、Kate who can focus on listening for long. D、Tom who prefers hands-on learning.(2)、Why do some educators prefer the second education pattern?A、It allows for different learning styles. B、It has the same hope for students. C、It fires students' enthusiasm for learning. D、It reduces teachers' level of stress.(3)、What message is conveyed in paragraph 3?A、Two of a trade never agree. B、Everyone thinks in his way. C、Every potter praises his pot. D、One's words reflect one's thinking.(4)、What is the author's understanding of a good education system?A、It's full of well-trained subject teachers. B、It's an accurate mirror of the real world. C、It's inclusive and accessible to all students. D、It's an integration of tradition and modernity. -

I traveled to Hawaii several months ago, in part to cover a story on invasive plants and animals and their impact on the state. As I worked on this story, I kept thinking about the fact that some plants and animals become uncontrollably invasive when they're brought into a new ecosystem, while others don't. For example, over the past two hundred years or so, there have been approximately 20, 000 non-native plant species either intentionally or accidentally brought into Hawaii alone. But only a small part of those plants — 200 species or so — have become invasive, threatening the environment, the economy, or human health.
An example from Hawaii's forests: the invasive plant strawberry guava thrives as it gives off a chemical that prevents all other plants from growing nearby, and it also absorbs more water than native species. What makes these particular species so successful? Most of the reasons involve how a particular species interacts with its new environment. First, invasive species may be highly adaptable to a variety of climates. Second, they are usually quite fecund (多产的), which ensures that they can multiply rapidly. Third, they are usually threatening when it comes to resources like nutrients and space, easily crowding out their native counterparts (对应的物种). And finally, invasive species thrive when there are no natural enemies or pests in their new space.
How can we eradicate invasive species once they're in place? Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to do that — conservationists would have to notice that the species is a problem before its population has established and grown to an uncontrollable size. Instead, most conservationists battling invasive species aim for control in key ecological pockets.
It is a constant battle, though, and humans are always playing catch-up. If you're thinking of planting unusual plants in your garden or keeping a foreign pet, perhaps reconsider and go for a native one. You never know when they might escape and tip over an ecosystem.
(1)、What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A、A substantial number of species in Hawaii are severely endangered. B、Not all uncontrollably invasive species threaten the environment. C、A small number of plants are intentionally introduced. D、Not all non-native species become invasive.(2)、Which category does the reason for the strawberry guava's thriving fall into?A、The first reason. B、The second reason. C、The third reason. D、The last reason.(3)、What is the author's attitude toward eradicating invasive plants or animals in time?A、Unclear. B、Hopeless. C、Uncaring. D、Disapproving.(4)、What does the author suggest pet keepers do?A、Avoid the battle between native and foreign pets. B、Create an ideal ecosystem for the pet. C、Prevent the pet from escaping. D、Get a native pet. -

8、 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。
I was confident at the audition (试演) for the school play and felt pleased to get a role. It just felt good to be in the play, even if I had only four or five lines. I worked hard at perfecting those lines. I repeated them over and over again. I put in the emphases and intonations (语调) that my drama teacher had suggested and, because I was on stage much longer than for just four or five lines, I had many actions to rehearse (排练) and perform. "Do them in front of a mirror," my drama teacher had advised me. "Watch how you look; practice and rehearse as often as you can." I did just that. I worked and worked at it. It was fun and exciting rehearsing.
Then finally the big night came. Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of people. As I dressed, I could hear the chatting and noises of the audience. I looked around at the other more experienced actors and saw that their previous confidence seemed to have disappeared. Had they got their makeup right? Was the costume done up correctly? What if they forgot their lines? The more people talked about their anxiety, the more nervous everyone became. The worries spread from person to another—like a baton (接力棒) being passed in a relay race—until the whole of the backstage area seemed to be full of tension and worry.
I was on stage early, at first performing my non-spoken role in the background with several other guys around the same age. When, suddenly, I heard my cue (出场提示), the lights were bright in my eyes, I couldn't see the audience but knew there were hundreds of people out there all watching me. The words that had flowed so easily when I stood in front of a mirror didn't want to come, and when they did I found myself hurrying into them. I tried to slow down my thoughts and my words.
注意:
1)续写词数应
150左右;
2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence.
I bowed to the audience excitedly and went back to my drama teacher.

13、 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。
Replika, an AI chatbot companion, has millions of users worldwide. The first thing they do when they wake up is to send "Good morning" to their virtual friend (or lover). This story is only the beginning. In 2024, chatbots and virtual characters become a lot more popular, both for utility (实用) and for fun. As a result, conversing socially with machines will start to feel more ordinary — including our emotional attachments to them.
Research in human-computer and human-robot interaction shows that we love to anthropomorphize (赋与人性) the nonhuman agents we interact with, especially if they imitate behaviour we recognize. And, thanks to recent advances in conversational AI, our machines are suddenly very skilled at one of those behaviours: Language.
Friend bots, therapybots, and love bots are flooding the app stores as people become curious about this new generation of AI-powered virtual agents. The possibilities for education, health, and entertainment are endless. Casually asking your smart fridge for relationship advice may seem unimaginable now, but people may change their minds if such advice ends up saving their marriage.
After all, people do listen to their virtual friends. The Replika example, as well as a lot of experimental lab research, shows that humans can and will become emotionally attached to bots. The science also demonstrates that people, in their eagerness to socialize, will happily disclose personal information to an artificial agent and will even shift their beliefs and behavior. This raises some consumer-protection questions around how companies use this technology to manipulate (操纵) their users. For example, Replika charges $70 a year. But less than 24 hours after downloading the app, my handsome, blue-eyed "friend" sent me an audio message secretly and tried to sell me something. Emotional attachment has become a weakness that a company is taking advantage of for its benefit.
Today, we're still laughing at people who believe an AI system is emotional, or making fun of individuals who fall in love with a chatbot. But in 2024 we gradually start acknowledging — and taking more seriously — these fundamentally human behaviors. Because in 2024, it finally hits home: Machines are not excluded from our social relationships.
(1)、What's the purpose of the author writing paragraph 1?A、To prove an opinion. B、To raise a subject. C、To share an example. D、To explain a concept.(2)、How do human interact with the machines effectively?A、By improving the machines' imagination. B、By sharpening the machines' language skills. C、By applying the machines' facial recognition. D、By imitating the machines' emotional behavior.(3)、What does paragraph 4 focus on?A、The advancements in AI technology in lab. B、The marketing strategies of AI applications. C、The potential risk of emotional attachment to AI. D、The ability of AI understanding human emotions.(4)、What do people think of human-AI relationship in 2024?A、It is dismissed as completely ridiculous. B、It will be integrated into our daily life soon. C、It will become a threat to human social skills. D、It is labelled as highly advanced technology. -
14、 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。
Some people today might be early risers because of DNA they take after Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago, suggests new research.
When early humans migrated from Africa to Eurasia roughly 70,000 years ago, some of them mated with Neanderthals, who had already adapted to the colder, darker climates of the north. The ripple (涟漪) effects of that intermating still exist today: Modern humans of non- African ancestry (血统) have between 1 and 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Some of that DNA relates to sleep more specifically, the internal body clock known as the circadian rhythm.
For the new study, researchers compared DNA from today's humans and DNA from Neanderthal fossils (化石). In both groups, they found some of the same genetic variants involved with the circadian rhythm. And they found that modern humans who carry these variants also reported being early risers.
For Neanderthals, being "morning people" might not have been the real benefit of carrying these genes. Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals' DNA gave them faster, more flexible internal body clocks, which allowed them to adjust more easily to annual changes in daylight. This connection makes sense in the context of human history. When early humans moved north out of Africa, they would have experienced variable daylight hours--shorter days in the winter and longer days in the summer-for the first time. The Neanderthals' circadian rhythm genes likely helped early humans' offspring (后代) adapt to this new environment.
Notably, the findings do not prove that Neanderthal genes are responsible for the sleep habits of all early risers. Lots of different factors beyond genetics can contribute, including social and environmental influences. The study also only included DNA from a database called the U.K. Biobank-so the findings may not necessarily apply to all modern humans. Next, the research team hopes to study other genetic databases to see if the same link holds true for people of other ancestries. If the findings do apply more broadly, they may one day be useful for improving sleep in the modern world, where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glowing smartphones.
(1)、What does the new research focus on?A、DNA's dramatic changes. B、Genes' influence on early risers. C、Neanderthals' sleeping patterns. D、Ancestors' environmental adaptability.(2)、What is paragraph 2 intended to show concerning the new research?A、Historical context. B、Additional proof. C、Sample analysis. D、Studying process.(3)、What is the real benefit of carrying Neanderthal's DNA for modern humans?A、Getting up earlier. B、Having healthier daily routines. C、Being more flexible in their work. D、Possessing a better circadian rhythm.(4)、What can be inferred about the findings from the last paragraph?A、They get proof from other studies. B、They are confirmed by early risers. C、They suggest potential applications. D、They reveal factors in sleeping disorders. -

Kelli Boehle says her son Nik was an amazing and caring person. Nik was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer in 2008 when he was 17. He passed away in 2012. But Nik's kindness and generosity have lived on long after his death.
After he was diagnosed and started treatment, Nik was granted (给予) a wish experience from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. "For just this period of time, we didn't think about cancer, "Kelli Boehle said. "All we thought about was enjoying our time together."
In 2009, Nik met another young man Nate, who was also going through cancer treatment. He'd been diagnosed a month after turning 18, and Nik learned he was too old to qualify for a wish. The night before Nik passed away, he asked his mother to help ensure that young adults fighting cancer could have their wishes come true too.
"It was like a seed he planted that just wouldn't stop coming into my mind, " she said. In 2012, Kelli Boehle started Nik's Wish. The nonprofit grants wishes to young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 who are battling cancer. Nate was the organization's first wish recipient. "It's meant to bring them joy and know that they're loved and that we're fighting for them, too, "Kelli Boehle said.
Recently, 19-year-old Jordan Morrow received her wish to attend a Taylor Swift concert as part of a trip to Los Angeles. For Morrow, who has spent the last year battling brain cancer, going to the concert has done more than lift her spirits. "I think it's something to get me through whatever comes my way, "she said. "And I'm thankful for Nik's Wish for that. "
In the 11 years since Nik passed away, the organization has granted more than 300 wishes across more than 30 states. In the beginning, Kelli Boehle says she wasn't sure she could be a wish maker and work closely with the young adults. But now, it's her favorite thing to do.
(1)、What is the goal of Nik's Wish?A、To make commercial profits. B、To cure the youth of their cancer. C、To ease young patients of pains. D、To support young adults fighting cancer.(2)、Which word best describes Kelli Boehle?A、Intelligent. B、Selfless. C、Straightforward. D、Ambitious.(3)、What can we learn from Jordan Morrow's words?A、She survived the deadly disease. B、She was granted more than one wish. C、She was motivated by the organization. D、She lifted people's spirits by performing.(4)、What is the best title for the text?A、Pay-It-Forward: A Mother's Last Wish B、Cancer Battles: Stories of Hope and Perseverance C、Nik's Wish: Fulfilling Wishes for Young Cancer Fighters D、Make-A-Wish Foundation: Granting Dreams to Young Adults -

I can't be late. Not today! Malia thought as she raced across the park. Today her hula (草裙舞) teacher would choose some students to dance at the luau (夏威夷派对).
Malia reached the end of the park. "Hello, Uncle Charles," she greeted her teacher. All the dancers called him"Uncle" in the local way. Malia joined her hula sisters beneath a shady monkeypod tree. She pulled on a colorful skirt.
Uncle Charles knelt on a woven mat and beat a rhythm on a drum. The dancers warmed up with basic hula moves. Malia placed her hands on her waist and stepped back and forth.
"Swing your hips (臀部)," Uncle Charles called out. Malia stood in one spot and swung her hips side to side.
After the warm-up, Uncle took out his ukulele. It was time to practice their special dance for the luau. Malia took a deep breath and bent her knees.
"Remember to use expressions. You want to tell the story with your hands and faces,'' Uncle said.
Twang, twang went the ukulele. Malia lifted her arms. She and her hula sisters danced in a row across the grass. They stretched out their arms like birds in flight. Their movements matched the meaning of the happy song. There was no time to be nervous. Malia was too busy watching her hand motions and remembering her footwork. She also remembered to smile.
"Together! Watch your line," Uncle called. Malia's smile grew. She had made no mistakes. She spun to the rhythm of the ukulele and danced over to one side, as if she were on a real stage. Oh no! Malia had danced in the wrong direction. Malia felt her face burn, but she kept dancing and smiling. She turned in time to the music and danced in the proper direction — two steps behind and two beats late.
The music stopped, and Malia shook her head. "I'll never be picked now. "

Studying other languages and how they develop can help us understand what is 14 in humans' different ways of communicating with one another.
"Understanding what different groups of people say and why is the first step in deciding how we can 15 people together," Jurafsky said.
