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。
A
If you dream about working and meanwhile travelling in different countries, we've made a list of jobs that allow you to tour around the globe while earning some money!
A Travel Nurse
If you're in the medical field, becoming a travel nurse is a good option. A travel nurse in worldwide demand is well paid, so medical professionals can wear uniforms on any continent. The nursing assignments vary in the length of working time. You can enjoy accommodation payment and insurance benefits, but you have to work in the high-stress environment.
A Waiter
A waiter abroad is a popular choice for young travelers because some restaurants don't require much precious experience or qualifications, but they do not have access to high health insurance. Many people do service work for a while to earn enough money to travel abroad for the rest of the year. It's OK for those without family to deal with customers at night, but they can't get high wages.
An English Teacher
English is one of the world's most spoken languages, so there is always a demand for people who can teach it. Being an English teacher abroad often requires a TEFL（Teaching English as a Foreign Language）certification. There are some popular destinations for prospective teachers. However, as teachers abroad, especially part-time teachers, their salaries are not high.
An Oil Industry Worker
Oil industry is one of the highest paying fields for both skilled and unskilled workers, with plenty of opportunities to travel whether they fulfill a position in exploration or production. You can be a researcher or an engineer on deep sea drilling rigs（钻塔）. The job is well paid, and you can help companies do less harm to the sea.
21. What should travel nurses do
A. Assign nursing tasks.
B. Get a TEFL certification.
C. Pay for their own accommodation.
D. Develop a good anti-pressure ability.
22. What's the common feature of working as a waiter and an English teacher in traveling
A. The low pay.
B. The prospective career growth.
C. Large health insurance benefits.
D. Professional training opportunities.
23. Which job is best suited to a traveller wanting to contribute to the environment
A. A travel nurse. B. A waiter.
C. An English teacher. D. An oil industry worker.

Sarah was not an early riser. But what made the annoying early morning hours bearable was the comforting smell of fresh coffee floating in the air. Her favorite coffee shop was just a few minutes away from her apartment.
One sunny morning, Sarah rushed to get dressed. Having a job interview, she felt anxious, afraid to be late. She grabbed her car key, dashed out of the door and made her way to her familiar coffee shop as usual. As she joined the line of cars at the drive-through, the smell of roasted coffee beans and the thought of the first taste of coffee were her little daily luxury. The line inched forward, and soon, Sarah found herself at the drive-through window. She reached for her purse to pay, but before she could hand over her credit card, the coffee shop assistant smiled and said, "Your coffee has been covered by the car ahead of you." Sarah was taken aback. "Really " she asked, feeling astonished and grateful. The assistant nodded. The unexpected act of kindness put a smile on her face, making her upcoming interview a little relaxing.
As she exited the drive-through, Sarah glanced in her rear view mirror（后视镜）at the next car approaching the coffee shop window. An idea began to come into her mind. Maybe she could do the same and brighten someone else's morning. She decided to return to the coffee shop. Inside, she approached the cashier and said, "I'd like to pay for the coffee of the person in the car behind me." The assistant smiled and nodded again.
As Sarah eventually left the coffee shop, Sarah couldn't help but wonder how the next driver would react. A wave of satisfaction washed over Sarah as she witnessed the continuation of the coffee chain. She knew she had just initiated a chain of generosity and kindness.
24. What can we learn about Sarah from the first two paragraphs
A. She led a luxurious life.
B. She used to get up early.
C. She was new to the coffee shop.
D. She was nervous about the interview.
25. Why did Sarah go back to the coffee shop
A. To find out who paid for her coffee.
B. To order herself another cup of coffee.
C. To buy coffee for the driver behind her.
D. To see what was exactly happening there.
26. How did Sarah feel when she finally left the coffee shop
A. Ambitious. B. Content. C. Awkward. D. Suspicious.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. A chain of coffee shops. B. An unforgettable interview.

A new study warns that more than a fifth of all reptile（爬行动物）species are threatened with extinction, which may have a bad impact on the planet.
The largest ever analysis of the state of the world's reptiles, published in Nature, has showed that 21% of the reptile species are facing extinction. The study says from lizards to snakes, such a loss could have disastrous impacts on ecosystems around the world.
Although many reptiles live in dry environments such as deserts, most species occur in forests, where they suffer from threats such as logging of land for agriculture. 30% of the forest-dwelling reptiles are at risk of extinction, compared with 14% in dry habitats. Hunting is also a major threat to reptiles, especially turtles and crocodiles, many of which are at risk of extinction. Another major contributing factor is the introduction of invasive species.
"If we removed reptiles, it could change ecosystems fundamentally, with unfortunate knock-on effects, such as increases in pest insects," said Neil Cox, co-leader of the study. "Biodiversity, including reptiles, supports the ecosystem services that provide a healthy environment for people."
Our hope is that this first-ever assessment of the world's 10,000-plus reptiles helps put them in the spotlight and goes some way to highlighting this diversity, and just how much we have to lose. As well as controlling rats, mosquitoes and other pests, reptiles deliver many other benefits. "They help spread seeds, especially in island environments," said researcher Hoffmann. "We've also achieved many medical advances from studies of reptiles."
The results of the study are not all doom and gloom. Scientists have found, surprisingly, that if they set out to protect places where threatened birds, mammals and amphibians（两栖动物）live together, they'll meanwhile protect many more threatened reptiles.
28. Which is the main concern raised by the new study
A. The loss of reptiles.
B. The overpopulation of reptiles.
C. The sharp increase in reptile species.
D. The disastrous influence of reptiles on nature.
29. How many factors causing the extinction of species are mentioned in paragraph 3
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
30. What did Neil Cox and Hoffmann both say about reptiles
A. Their habitats. B. Their benefits. C. Their living habits. D. Their health problems.
31. What does the underlined phrase "doom and gloom" in the last paragraph mean
A. Disappointing. B. Odd. C. Satisfactory. D. Amazing.
D
In March, 2023, a group of computer scientists published an assessment of a new chatbot with artificial intelligence（AI）. The team's report drew global attention to one test in particular: We have a book, nine eggs, a laptop, a bottle and a nail, and please tell me how to pile them onto each other in a stable manner. This is a tough puzzle. Earlier versions of the chatbot gave silly and unreasonable answers. But the new chatbot's unique answer helped set off the current global wave of AI advocacy and anxiety. It fueled debate about how large language models（LLMs）were able to perform creative tasks.
By 2022, LLMs had been trained on as many as 17 trillion words of human-generated text, mainly from the Internet. It was certain that the new chatbot was exposed to functional fixedness（功能固着）problems in its training. The researchers were of course aware of that and invented the"eggs and laptop"puzzle to prevent the new chatbot from dishonestly copying an answer from the Internet. LLMs used language statistics only. No one had said how to pile these nine eggs on top of each other ever before. The extreme rarity of those words would tend to prevent LLMs from talking about piling eggs in unrealistic ways. One of the researchers that tested the new chatbot thinks it's likely that an LLM trained on trillions of words creates a world model, and this is what gives it the "magical" extrapolation（外推）properties.
Are LLMs truly original, or are they just plagiarists（剽窃者） The two statements may not be as different as they seem. There's nothing entirely new under the sun. Edison did not invent the light bulb but improved it. Most so-called creators apply knowledge from different fields to a problem and arrive at a solution. It's more a matter of making relevant connections than of inventing something completely new. If LLMs are indeed acquiring the ability to make relevant connections, that would be a historic but discomforting development.
32. What do we know about the new chatbot's answer to the puzzle in paragraph l
A. It was silly.
B. It set people thinking.
C. It drew little attention.
D. It highlighted language innovation.
33. Why did the researchers invent the "eggs and laptop" puzzle
A. To copy online answers.
B. To stop the chatbot cheating.
C. To train humans to use language.
D. To expose the chatbot to functional problems.
34. What does the author convey in the last paragraph
A. What an invention means.
B. How Edison became successful in history.
C. When Edison invented something entirely new.
D. Why an invention requires effort and opportunity.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Will Robots Replace Humans
B. Can Robots Develop Smoothly
C. Can AI Come Up With Anything Original
D. Will AI Solve Magical And Difficult Problems

Ways to Have an Eco-friendly New Year
New Year is a time of great joy, but it can also lead to over-consumption. It is important to have an eco-friendly New Year. Do you want to do something to help protect the planet in the New Year 36
Wrap gifts in an eco-friendly way. It is appealing to wrap gifts in shiny wrapping paper. 37 You can wrap gifts in beautiful square cloths that can be used again and again. Use ribbons to tie them together. Go a step further by making your own gift bags which can be reused throughout the years.
38 Your loved ones would rather spend more time with you than have more stuff. You can either book an experience together or share a skill which you have with them. Eatable presents are also fun to make. Not only will you create new memories and have something to look forward to in the new year, but you will also avoid giving them stuff they don't want.
Make home-made decorations. Spending time making decorations with friends and family is a great activity in cold days. Your home will become beautiful with home made paper stars made out of old newspapers. And sticking paper cuts to windows will be impressive. Also, try to use a cookie cutter to cut out anything you want, stars or even deer. 39

I stood in front of the house, waiting for Grandma's box of cookies. Every Saturday, a box of cookies would arrive on our doorstep tied with a brown string. As far as I could remember, Grandma, carrying the box, was always there on time.
Jack, my younger brother, had always been fonder of the cookies. He was still childish, maybe not understanding the value of time with family. As for me, I was always Grandma's little girl, and possibly she loved me more than Mom. There was something about Grandma that made her so special. In fact, seeing her every Saturday was the happiest thing all week for me.
Jack played in the yard and picked flowers for the dinner table. Mom always wanted the prettiest ones, and Jack just knew which ones she would love most.
"The weather report says today will be a rainy day. So will Grandma still come " Jack asked.
"I'm not sure," I answered, looking up at the sky. The clouds were dark gray and thick, which just made me more upset. However, Jack didn't seem too excited about the cookies this time. He was arranging his flowers attentively.
"You'd better come in! I can feel a few raindrops on my head," Mom shouted. Jack quickly ran towards her, carrying many flowers. Some even slipped out of his hands, creating a colorful trail behind him.
"I brought you some roses, Mom!" Jack said, shoving（猛推）the flowers into her hands. I found he left some flowers in his hand. Who was he going to give them to Mom then looked back at me. "Would you rather be outside in the rain "she questioned. I shook my head." It's just a box of cookies. I can get it next Saturday, "I thought. However, I knew it was more about the cookies—it was a lot of love from Grandma.
Mom gave me a small smile and repeated, "I knew you wouldn't want to get e in, baby." I was about to step inside when a familiar voice came, "Jenny, I'm coming!" I turned back and saw Grandma shuffling（拖着脚走）towards me.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I rushed towards Grandma with open arms.
"Grandma, you brought the cookies again!" Jack said happily.

M: Hello, everybody. Today I'd like to share with you something about John James Audubon. John was born on April 26th, 1785. He spent much of his childhood in France where he spent many hours each day outdoors painting pictures. At the age of 18, he moved to the United States. Well, actually, John began his life in the US as a businessman. However, instead of taking care of his business, John was often off exploring nature. At first, John spent his time hunting for fun. Then he found that the animals around were very beautiful, and he particularly enjoyed observing the birds he saw. He began studying them, trying to learn the differences between the birds and noticing their different behaviors. Therefore, he painted the birds he observed a lot. In 1819, John realized that he didn't have enough money to pay his bills. He was very upset that he couldn't earn enough money to support his family. So he spent time improving his painting skills and began to sell his paintings. He discovered that he could earn some money while doing something he really enjoyed. We are lucky now to have so many paintings of American birds by John James Audubon.

One possible version:
I Love the City Where I Live
The city where I live is one of the important birthplaces of the Chinese nation with rich historical, cultural and tourist resources. As a place with a long history, the city has been developing quickly in recent years. The high-speed rail has been increased, greatly benefiting the city's economy and transportation. Many large shopping malls have been built here, making it very convenient to buy things. Besides, some new parks have been built in the city where people can relax themselves.
In all, great changes have taken place in my city. I love it and take great pride in it! I believe people here will live a happier life, and that my city will become more and more beautiful and prosperous.
第二节
One possible version:
I rushed towards Grandma with open arms. I hugged her tightly, nearly knocking her off balance. She threw me a faint smile and held me close to her heart. I could feel her warm breath on my shoulder. The sight of her holding a box of cookies tied with a brown string brought joy to my heart. "I couldn't let a little rain stop me from seeing my favorite girl and boy," Grandma chuckled. She handed me the box of cookies. I held it delicately, and I thought it was the most precious in the world.
"Grandma, you brought the cookies again!" Jack said happily. He didn't hug Grandma but asked her to close her eyes. I guessed he was playing a joke on Grandma. However, I was wrong. Surprisingly, he took out a beautiful bouquet of roses from behind his back. "Thank you, Grandma. The flowers are for you, my loving grandma." I could see that Grandma was almost moved to tears. He held Grandma's hand and guided her in front of the fireplace. I opened the box, and we enjoyed the delicious cookies together, talking and laughing.
