Fortunately, two Indian college students, Heet Doshi,20, and Om Thakkar, 19, both book enthusiasts who found themselves struggling to findlike-minded people, decided to create a space where people could connect, share ideas, andform bonds over their love for books.Thus, “Your Reading Circle“ was born in September 2023, a space for passionate readersto gather and share books and stories. Then in early 2024, the co-founders came across theconcept of mini-libraries in Perumkulanit a village in Kerala where three public libraries wereset up every few hundred metres to make reading accessible. Inspired by this, they thought ofreplicaling the mode in Ahmedabad to encourage the city's reading culture further.However, the journey was not smooth, Initially they had no idea how to get permissionto set up libraries in public parks or where to gather books and find funds. But they weredetermined to bring the idea to life. Eventually, after dedicating a lot of time and efforts, theyinstalled the first library at Pari ma 1 Garden. It was centrally located near colleges, drawingpeople from all age groups. The success of the first library motivated the two, and soon,more parks across Ahmedabad witnessed the arrival of mini-libraries.These libraries are free and accessible to all* more than just places to borrow books.They have turned into centers for conversation> learnings and community-buiIding.The co-founders have noticed that the libraries are playing an important role in promotingthe reading culture in parks and gardens. uPeople who previously spent their time glued totheir phones are now picking up books and reading in the parks. I see at least 20 people nearthe libraries browsing the books and engaging in discussions,“ Heet observes.The libraries have even caught the attention of people outside Ahmedabad. uIndividualsfrom across India as well as from places like Australia, Canada, and the US, have reachedout to express their appreciation for the initiative,“ he adds.24.

It will be mixed up withmemories of strikes and power cuts in I>ondon. Go deeper and there were plenty of pubs andin a world where television was limited to three channels and cinema chains that oftenchanged their programs twice weekly.Best of all, though, was live music. Every town had its established venue for touringbands but London enjoyed a number of smaller locations that hosted rock, folk or jazz actsseveral nights a week. Many of these were Irish owned or managed and part of a traditionwhere providing live music was part and parcel of running a pub. In fact, there were an awfullot of bands and singers you could see on a regular basis within 25 miles of London. Evenbetter, admission was free in many of the smaller venues.The concentration of so much of this in such a small geographical area was acomparatively recent development, and can be traced to the impact the 1973 oil price rise hadon the record industry.Against the background of the strikes and power cuts that everyone experienced, would-be rock stars found that touring up and down the UK in a van and staying overnight in hotelssuddenly became extremely expensive. It was hardly surprising that bands concentrated onvenues closer to home to lower traveling and accommodation costs.There were other factors at work too. It's worth remembering that the London of the1970s was a city with a constantly declining population. There were many empty houses aswell as local authority flats that were “hard to let”. And commercial space too, which meantplenty of recording and rehearsing (排练)studios.Forget the negative comments of the 1970s, the strikes and power cuts. We shouldcelebrate the sounds that came out of the pubs half a century ago as part of our rich musicalheritage.28. What is the purpose of paragraph 1 A. To recall the memories of London.B. To show the unstable life in London.C. To introduce the emergence of live music.D. To reveal the severe situation of people's life.29. Why did many bands perform in venues closer to their homes A. To reach a larger audience.B. To avoid strikes and power cuts.C. To take advantage of free admission.D. To reduce travel and accommodation costs.30. What contributed to the concentration of live music venues in London A. The abundance of empty houses.10页)】B. The decline in commercial space.C. The popularity of television channels.D. The lack of cheap accommodation.31. What is the text mainly about A. The history of the development of London.B. The rise of Ix)ndon's live music in the 1970s.C. The contributions London macle to music.D. The views of London in the 1970s.DYou can talk to an AI chatbot about pretty much anything, from help with daily tasks tothe problems you may need to solve. Its answers reflect the human data that taught it how toact like a person; but how human-like are the latest chatbots really As people turn to AI chatbots for more of their Internet needs, and the bots getincorporated into more applications from shopping to health care, a team of researcherssought to understand how AI chatbots reproduce human empathy, which is the ability tounderstand and share another person's feelings.A study led by UC Santa Cruz Professor Magy Seif El-Nasr and Stanford UniversityResearcher Mahnaz Roshanaei, explores how AI chatbots evaluate and perform empathy. Todo so, the researchers asked both a group of humans and AI chatbots to read short stories ofhuman positive and negative, and rate their empathy toward each story on a scale of 1 to 5.and compared the responses. The stories came from real human experiences, which weremade completely anonymous (匿名的). They also had AI chatbots perform the same ratingtask after being informed about a set of features including gender, perspective, or similarity ofexperiences.Overall, the researchers found that when it comes to offering an emotional response* AIchatbots are overly empathetic, particularly in response to sad stories. ** They are veryemotional in terms of negative feelings, and they try to be very nice,“ Roshanaci said. "Butwhen a person talks about very positive events happening to themt AI chatbots don't seem tocare. " This over-empathizing situation was also present when they are told that the personthey were chatting to was a female, "h's happening because the data comes from humans, andhumans have biases toward other humans,“ Roshanaei explained.This acts as a warning that the technology is not quite ready to be used with sensitivepopulations such as teenagers, or those with mental health conditions. "This shows that eventhough Al is amazing it still has a lot of big gaps in comparison to humans.w Roshanaei said.32. Why did the researchers conduct the study A. To test the reliability of AI chatbots.B. To explore the potential of AI chatbots.C. To figure out how understanding AI chatbots are.D. To compare the intelligence of AI chatbots and humans.1 ' K33. How may AI chatbots most likely respond to an uplifting story A. Express intense excitement.B. Display minimal emotional engagement.C. Call the storyrealncss into question.D. Ask follow-up questions about specific details.34. What is Roshanaei's attitude toward current AI technology A. Critical. B. Optimistic. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned.35.

It was advertised as a poetry club, but itwas more than that. It was run by Ms. Carter, the school counselor7 who also happened to bea published poet. At first, no one really knew what to expect.Samantha hadn't planned on joining. She preferred staying invisible. She had been in lowspirits ever since she didn't do well in the exams. She had mastered silence. Words, especiallyspoken ones, felt powerless for her. But when Ms. Carter handed her a flyer with a gentlesmile and said that there was no pressure and that it was just a space to write, something inher stirred (被唤起).On the first day, there were only six students. Some were theater kids, and otherslooked like they belonged on the soccer field. Samantha almost turned around at the door, butMs. Carter's soft voice pulled her in. "We're not here to be perfect,“ she said. "We're here tobe honest. ”That first session, Ms. Carter asked them to write a poem beginning with the words ”Iam…”.Samantha stared at the page. Her hand trembled. After twenty minutes, all she hadwritten was: ”I am tired of pretending I'm okay. " She didn't read it aloud, and she didn'tneed to. Just writing it made her chest feel a little lighter.Each week, the group explored different types of poetry-free verse, haiku and cinquain.They wrote about everything: the ache of being misunderstood, the quiet joy of a sunnymorning, the happiness of being praised by the teachers and so on. There were no grades, nojudgment-just pages and pens and voices finding their rhythm.For Samantha, poetry therapy became a lifeline. She began to carry a small notebookeverywhere. On the bus, she'd write about the way the clouds mirrored her thoughts.Slowly, the silence inside her began to change. Instead of feeling empty, it started to fill withwords.注意:L续写词数应为150个左右;2 .请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。One Tuesday afternoon, Ms. Carter invited them to write a poem titled “The PersonI'm Becoming”.Wlien Samantha finished reading her poem, there was a burst of applause.【高二英语 第10页(共10页)】高二期末教学质量检测英语参考答案1—5 BCAAB 6—10 CACBB 11—15 BCACB 16—20 ABCCA21—23 BDB 24—27 AADD 28—31 CDAB 32—35 CBCB 36—40 FDCAE41—45 DCCDA 46—50 ABCAB 51—55 BCADB56.known 57.are believed 58.in 59.a 60.roots61. creating 62.deeply 63. who 64. engagement 65. active写作:第一节:参考范文:Dear Peter,How are you doing IDm writing to tell you about an exciting summer camp that IDm planningto join.
