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
There are some new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Let’s have a look.
Invention 1: A system to identify Parkinson’s disease
The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. The researchers noted that early signs of Parkinson’s disease are not easy to discover. But the team said the experiments showed that with just one night of sleep, the AI system can correctly identify Parkinson’s disease up to 86% of the time.
Invention 2: A tool to interpret pig emotions
The scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm to identify a series of emotions the pigs could be experiencing. The study centered on more than 7,000 audio recordings of pigs in different situations. The researchers said the tool can lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals.
Invention 3: A system to identify and predict smells
The scientists built on past research to produce a brain-like technology model to create a “principal odor map” to identify molecules related to smells. The team said such a system can be used across many different fields, including the healthcare, food and fragrance industries, The researchers reported that the system can be used to help fight one of the world’s biggest health problems--diseases spread through insects.
Invention 4: A tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings
The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written. The team said that when historians worked on their own, the success rate for repairing damaged inscriptions was about 25%. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72%.
21．Which invention can help farmers increase income
A．Invention 1. B．Invention 2. C．Invention 3. D．Invention 4.
22．What do Invention 1 and Invention 3 have in common
A．They are good for people’s health. B．They should be used during sleep.
C．They can cure people of many diseases. D．They focus on the research on smells.
23．How does invention 4 help historians
A．By recovering their health. B．By improving their accuracy,
C．By identifying their writings. D．By stimulating their emotions.
B
My plan to learn to play the cello (大提琴) was a health y choice. So I took the next innocent step of going to a shop that sells and rents string instruments, especially violins, violas, and cellos. The place was a hole-in-the-wall, up a steep flight of stairs. Instruments left a narrow path to the counter where a woman with grey hair and warm eyes greeted me. Since I couldn’t form a question about what I wanted, I just stood there exploring the scene, which felt immensely pleasurable.
I rented a cello, a bow, and a case to hold them. What attracted me to the cello was its enormous size and its soft, smooth, and memorable sounds. It’s an instrument made of beautifully polished wood that I could wrap my arms around and feel its powerful vibrations when the strings were played. That was a good starting point for me. The only problem was that I didn’t know how to play it.
There’s a popular belief that the cello is a particularly difficult instrument to learn. Another is the admonition, “Don’t bother if you are a beginner over age 10!” Well, I was 70, and what others thought no longer influenced me. And besides, I thought of the words of Dr. Cohen, who suggested that learning causes physical changes in the brain.
So I found a teacher who had respect for older adult beginners and I practiced diligently, daily for years, and sometimes disheartened, but I kept up. I’m happy to report that now, more than a decade later, I can hold my own in a string trio and two quartets （two violins, a viola, and me, the female cello）and even a senior community band. Of course, I’ll never sound like Yo-Yo Ma but you could recognize a Mozart piece if you heard me play it. And, more importantly, I don’t need to please anyone but myself.
Whether it’s a pleasurable pastime or a new career, the starting point is the same: wonder, curiosity, determination, and the desire to keep your brain sharp.
24．How did the writer feel in the shop
A．Amused by the shop assistant.
B．Anxious for a live performance.
C．Pleased at the nice music atmosphere.
D．Curious about where to find a teacher.
25．What does the underlined word “admonition” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Approval. B．Criticism.
C．Puzzlement. D．Warning.
26．Why does the writer mention Dr. Cohen in paragraph 3
A．To recommend a reliable doctor.
B．To provide proof for common belief.
C．To add another reason for her decision.
D．To stress the crucial function of the brain.
27．Which of the following can best convey the writer’s idea
A．Art is man’s second nature.
B．One is never too old to learn.
C．Education is the key to success.
D．Happiness is the best form of health.
C
Imagine being able to use energy from the sun all the time, even when it’s night. That’s the idea that scientists at Caltech（California Institute of Technology）are exploring. They’re working on collecting sunlight in space and sending its energy to Earth.
Caltech’s scientists have created a special tool for this project. They call it MAPLE. MAPLE and two other devices are part of a project that was sent into space in January, 2023. MAPLE’s job is to test the idea of sending energy wirelessly from space to Earth. We’re used to using wires to move electrical energy from one place to another. But sending energy without wires is a lot trickier.
The method used by Caltech’s scientists depends on the way waves act when they meet. Imagine two waves coming together as they travel in the same direction. If the tops of the waves line up, they combine to make a bigger wave. But if the top of one wave lines up with the low point of the other, the waves cancel each other out. The Caltech team has found a way to control the timing of lots of microwaves so that they can combine their power, and focus the energy in one direction. It’s a little like using a magnifying（放大的）glass to focus sunlight into a small, hot point of light.
To prove that the system could work, MAPLE sent energy to two devices just 30 centimeters away in space. This energy was then turned into electricity, which made two small lights light up. Next, MAPLE sent energy all the way down to a lab at Caltech. The scientists were able to detect the energy, proving that it’s possible to send solar energy to Earth from space.
Dr. Hajimiri, one of the project’s leaders, thinks that one day, the system could be extremely useful, bringing energy to places that need it, all over the world. He believes that in the future, we’ll be able to send energy to remote regions and areas destroyed by war or natural disaster.
28．What is the challenge in Caltech’s project with MAPLE
A．Solar energy detection.
B．Wireless energy delivery.
C．Sending devices into space.
D．Using wires to move electricity.
29．How does the Caltech team concentrate solar power
A．By changing the way microwaves act.
B．By magnifying waves coming together.
C．By controlling the timing of microwaves.
D．By lining up the waves in opposite directions.
30．What potential benefit could the system bring in the future according to Dr. Hajimiri
A．Warning people of natural disasters.
B．Turning solar energy into electricity.
C．Providing a solution to energy shortages.
D．Sending energy to regions in urgent need.
31．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．The Use of Solar Energy in Space Exploration
B．The Challenges of Generating Energy Without Wires
C．The Development of a New Tool for Collecting Electricity
D．The Possibility of Sending Energy Wirelessly from Space to Earth
D
We may weep for the dodo, but could and should we bring this lovely bird back from the dead De-extinction is the science of restoring lost species and it has been in the news for decades.
The story in modern times began in 1990 when Michael Crichton published his science fiction novel Jurassic Park, in which he imagined a world where scientists were able to bring dinosaurs back to life. Crichton imagined that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology could be a way to amplify (放大) tiny quantities of dinosaur DNA and thus build a living embryo.
Sadly, biologists soon realized that DNA in fact breaks down super-fast; even after 100 years, DNA from museum skins of dodos was decayed (腐烂) beyond repair. They could be sequenced (测定序列) using massive computational power, but then only with considerable uncertainty. And even if you capture a DNA sequence, there’s still the problem of how you get living cells to read that sequence and express proteins that make the dinosaur or the dodo.
But why would anyone want to see mammoths, or something like them, roaming (漫游) present-day Siberia Well, they were undoubtedly amazing beasts. As well as hunting them, our distant ancestors painted their likenesses in caves across Europe. Fascinating as they may be, there's some ecological justification for the project too.
It was this diversity of land surface, broken up by heavy limbs and randomly fertilised by faeces (排泄物), that supported so much flora (植物群). Without the mammoths, that diversity disappeared. Return them and landscapes would once again be with a variety of species, including flowers and bushes.
True, it’s not de-extinction in the sense of bringing a long-dead species back to life. Instead it’s more like making a “dodo” by engineering a modern pigeon, its closest relative, to become huge and flightless. The result would be a big, fatty pigeon that, whether it looked like a dodo or not, would probably fulfil some of its ecological roles.
As a palaeontologist, I would of course love to see living dinosaurs, mammoths and dodos. In some ways, though, I am relieved that the optimistic claims for cloning and genetic technologies have not been borne out. The slowdown gives us time to consider the outcomes—and hopefully avoid some of Michael Crichton’s more fevered imaginings.
32．What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A．A science fiction review. B．The development of DNA．
C．An inspired guess of de-extinction. D．The application of PCR technology.
33．What’s the barrier to cloning a living embryo
A．DNA is hard to keep for long. B．Computational power is limited.
C．Biologists are opposed to it. D．Living cells can t be sequenced.
34．Why are people interested in cloning extinct species
A．They expect to seek hunt fun. B．They lack sources of modern art.
C．They need them for research. D．They want to see biodiversity.
35．What’s the author’s attitude toward cloning extinct species
A．Cautious. B．Unclear. C．Dismissive. D．Approving.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Too often, doctors and others tell a patient suffering from a stress related disorder that she or he must spend some time relaxing. 36 In fact, just sitting in front of the TV set and trying to ignore the day’s problems don’t make much effect. To deal effectively with stress and cope efficiently with anxiety, you’ll have to use the power of your own mind constructively. To do this, one of the best ways is to boost your self-confidence. Lacking self-confidence, you will probably worry about disastrous things happening to you. 37 In such circumstances, you should replace negative, damaging feelings of failure with positive feelings of success.
Take a piece of paper and a pencil, and try writing down good words that describe you, such as honest, thoughtful, hard working, considerate, kind, ambitious, creative and so on. 38 Your parents, your friends, your interests, your achievements, and particularly your memories. You will probably be surprised to find how many things there are that you can be proud of!
Don’t worry about making mistakes. 39 If you accept challenges and live your life to the full, you will fail sometimes. Make mistakes means taking chances. Those who never take chances will have a life full of lost opportunities.
When you are worried about the future, ask yourself: What is the worst thing that can happen You will often be surprised to find that the “worst” may not be as bad as you thought it was going to be. The “bottom line” isn’t often as discouraging as you think it will be. 40
A．That isn’t a lot of help, of course.
B．All these things will help you greatly.
C．No one can possibly be right all the time.
D．List the things that are valuable in your life.
E．Occasionally, your judgments will be faulty.
F．Instead, it will help you make plans accordingly.
G．You may become pessimistic and can’t get over it.

Zhang replied to their letter with a poem: “A letter is written, just for a wall. 62 it moves a meter, what harm is done The Great Wall still stands tall today, yet 63 (go) is its builder, Emperor Qinshihuang.”
Enlightened by his reply, the Zhang family decided 64 (bring) their walls back by approximately one meter. Deeply moved by their generosity, the Wu family also brought their walls back by a meter, and the two households created a 2-meter-wide alley between their homes for passersby.
The alley is now a popular 65 (attract) that is traversed daily by locals.

Once upon a time, in the midst of a fine summer, Tom and his younger brother Jack went on an amazing trip to a picturesque beach with their family.
Excitement filled the air as Tom and Jack eagerly packed their buckets and shovels (铲子), ready to explore the sandy wonders that awaited them. The moment they arrived at the beach, they wasted no time and rushed directly towards the shoreline.
With the wind brushing gently over their cheeks, Tom and Jack dug their hands into the soft grains of sand, laughing happily as they felt grains of sand passing through their fingers. Their laughter was echoing along the coast.
Then the two little brothers decided to build a splendid sand castle that would leave everyone in awe. With the sound of seabirds singing in the background, they began their grand project. Side by side, they cupped their hands, dug into the soft beach, and started building their dream castle. With great care and precision, they sculpted and shaped the sand with their fingers, crafting each tower and wall. The boys were lost in their work, feeling the warmth of the sand beneath their fingers. They seemed to hear whispering tales of the distant, mysterious ocean.
Time seemed to stand still as the boys poured their hearts into every detail of their sandy creation. With each passing moment, the sand castle grew in both size and beauty and it began to take shape. Together, they patiently decorated their dream castle with seashells and twigs, imagining a world of soldiers, princesses, and magical creatures.
Seeing the castle stand proudly before them, the two little brothers breathed out a sigh of relief. Their eyes shone with excitement. They were like architects who were appreciating their masterpiece that expressed their extraordinary imagination.

【原文】W: Sweetest Day is always the third Saturday in October. This holiday is much more important in some regions than in others (Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo are the biggest Sweetest Day cities). But this holiday is gaining in popularity every year throughout the country. Sweetest Day is celebrated to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged, and orphaned, but also friends and relatives. Over 60 years ago, a Cleveland man, believing that the city’s orphans and patients too often felt forgotten, formed in the mind an idea of showing them that they were not. He did this by the distribution of small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he distributed them on a Saturday in October. In the years that followed, other residents began to participate in the event, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. In time, the Day became an occasion for acknowledging others with a kind actor a small remembrance. Soon the idea began spreading to other cities all over the country.

22．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But the team said the experiments showed that with just one night of sleep, the AI system can correctly identify Parkinson’s disease up to 86% of the time.( 但该团队表示，实验表明，只需一个晚上的睡眠，人工智能系统就能在高达86%的时间内正确识别帕金森病。)”和文章第四段“The team said such a system can be used across many different fields, including the healthcare, food and fragrance industries, The researchers reported that the system can be used to help fight one of the world’s biggest health problems--diseases spread through insects.(研究小组表示，这种系统可以应用于许多不同的领域，包括医疗保健、食品和香水行业。研究人员报告说，该系统可以用来帮助对抗世界上最大的健康问题之一——通过昆虫传播的疾病。)”可知，这两个发明的共同之处在于它们都对人们的健康有所帮助。故选A。
23．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The team said that when historians worked on their own, the success rate for repairing damaged inscriptions was about 25%. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72%.(该团队表示，当历史学家独自工作时，修复损坏铭文的成功率约为25%。但当人类与伊萨卡合作协助他们的工作时，成功率跃升至72%。)”可知，历史学家通过利用这个发明，把对古代文字的修复率从原来的 25%提高到了72%。故选B。
24．C 25．D 26．C 27．B
【导语】本文是记叙文。它讲述了一个人如何开始学习大提琴的经历，从对乐器的吸引，到面临困难和质疑，再到坚持学习并取得一定的成果。
24．推理判断题。根据第一段“Since I couldn’t form a question about what I wanted, I just stood there exploring the scene, which felt immensely pleasurable.(因为我不知道我想要什么，我只是站在那里探索场景，这让我感到非常愉快)”可以推知，作者对商店里的音乐氛围感到满意。故选C项。
25．词句猜测题。根据前文“There’s a popular belief that the cello is a particularly difficult instrument to learn.(人们普遍认为大提琴是一种特别难学的乐器)”以及后文“Don’t bother if you are a beginner over age 10!(如果你是一个10岁以上的初学者，那就别费心了！)”可知，这是在给出一种警告，因此推知“admonition”的意思是“警告”，和D项意思相近。故选D项。
26．推理判断题。根据第三段“Well, I was 70, and what others thought no longer influenced me. And besides, I thought of the words of Dr. Cohen, who suggested that learning causes physical changes in the brain.(好吧，我70岁了，别人的想法不再影响我。此外，我想起了科恩博士的话，他认为学习会导致大脑的生理变化)”可以推知，作者提到Dr. Cohen是为了为自己的决定再添加一个理由，即学习大提琴有益于大脑健康。故选C项。
27．主旨大意题。根据第三段“There’s a popular belief that the cello is a particularly difficult instrument to learn. Another is the admonition, “Don’t bother if you are a beginner over age 10!” Well, I was 70, and what others thought no longer influenced me. And besides, I thought of the words of Dr. Cohen, who suggested that learning causes physical changes in the brain.(有一种流行的观点认为，大提琴是一种特别难学的乐器。还有一种告诫是：“如果你是一个10岁以上的初学者，那就别费心了！”不过，我当时已经70岁了，别人的想法再也无法影响我。而且，我想到了科恩博士的话，他提出学习会引起大脑的物理变化)”以及最后一段“Whether it’s a pleasurable pastime or a new career, the starting point is the same: wonder, curiosity, determination, and the desire to keep your brain sharp.(无论是一种愉快的消遣还是一份新的职业，出发点都是一样的：惊奇、好奇、决心和保持大脑敏锐的愿望)”可知，作者的主要想法是：年龄并不是学习新事物的限制，只要有好奇心、决心和坚持，人们可以在任何时候开始学习新的技能并取得成就。这与“活到老，学到老”的谚语相呼应，强调了终身学习的重要性。故选B项。
28．B 29．C 30．D 31．D
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了加州理工学院（Caltech）的科学家正在探索从太空中收集阳光并将其能量发送回地球的想法，他们为此创造了一个特殊工具MAPLE，并解释了MAPLE如何通过控制微波的时机来聚焦能量。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段“Caltech’s scientists have created a special tool for this project. They call it MAPLE. MAPLE and two other devices are part of a project that was sent into space in January, 2023. MAPLE’s job is to test the idea of sending energy wirelessly from space to Earth. We’re used to using wires to move electrical energy from one place to another. But sending energy without wires is a lot trickier.(加州理工学院的科学家们为这个项目创造了一个特殊的工具。他们称之为MAPLE。MAPLE和另外两个设备是2023年1月送入太空的一个项目的一部分。MAPLE的任务是测试从太空向地球无线发送能量的想法。我们习惯于用电线把电能从一个地方传输到另一个地方。但是在没有电线的情况下传输能量要棘手得多)”可知，MAPLE的挑战是无线能量传输。故选B项。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段“The Caltech team has found a way to control the timing of lots of microwaves so that they can combine their power, and focus the energy in one direction. It’s a little like using a magnifying（放大的）glass to focus sunlight into a small, hot point of light.(加州理工学院的研究小组已经找到了一种方法来控制大量微波的时间，这样它们就可以结合它们的能量，并将能量集中在一个方向上。这有点像用放大镜把太阳光聚焦成一个小的热点)”可知，加州理工学院的团队通过控制微波的时间来集中太阳能。故选C项。
30．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Dr. Hajimiri, one of the project’s leaders, thinks that one day, the system could be extremely useful, bringing energy to places that need it, all over the world. He believes that in the future, we’ll be able to send energy to remote regions and areas destroyed by war or natural disaster.(Hajimiri博士是该项目的领导者之一，他认为有一天，这个系统会非常有用，把能源带到世界各地需要它的地方。他相信，在未来，我们将能够向偏远地区和被战争或自然灾害摧毁的地区输送能源)”可知，根据Hajimiri博士的说法，这个系统在未来会向急需能源的地区输送能源。故选D项。
31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Imagine being able to use energy from the sun all the time, even when it’s night. That’s the idea that scientists at Caltech（California Institute of Technology）are exploring. They’re working on collecting sunlight in space and sending its energy to Earth.(想象一下，可以一直使用太阳能，即使是在晚上。这就是加州理工学院(Caltech)的科学家们正在探索的想法。他们正致力于在太空中收集阳光并将其能量发送到地球)”以及纵观全文可知，主要讨论了使用Caltech科学家创造的特殊工具MAPLE从太空向地球无线传输能源的可能性，所以D项“The Possibility of Sending Energy Wirelessly from Space to Earth(从太空向地球无线传输能量的可能性)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。
32．C 33．A 34．D 35．A
【导语】本篇是议论文，作者对克隆灭绝物种进行了分析。
32．主旨大意题。文章第二段讲到“in which he imagined a world where scientists were able to bring dinosaurs back to life. Crichton imagined that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology could be a way to amplify (放大) tiny quantities of dinosaur DNA and thus build a living embryo. (在小说里，他想象了一个科学家能够让恐龙复活的世界。克莱顿设想聚合酶链式反应（PCR）技术可能是一种扩增(放大) 微小数量的恐龙DNA，从而构建了一个活的胚胎。)”可知，第二段的主要内容是一个关于灭绝动物复活启发性猜测。故选C。
33．细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“Sadly, biologists soon realized that DNA in fact breaks down super-fast; even after 100 years, DNA from museum skins of dodos was decayed (腐烂) beyond repair. (可悲的是，生物学家很快意识到DNA实际上分解得非常快；即使在100年后，博物馆里渡渡鸟皮肤上的DNA也腐烂得无法修复。)”可知，克隆活胚胎的障碍是很难长期保存。故选A。
34．细节理解题。文章第五段讲到“Without the mammoths, that diversity disappeared. Return them and landscapes would once again be with a variety of species, including flowers and bushes. (没有长毛象，这种多样性就消失了。让他们回归，景观将再次出现各种各样的物种，包括花朵和灌木。)”可知，人们热衷于克隆灭绝动物主要是想看到生物的多样性。故选D。
35．推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“The slowdown gives us time to consider the outcomes—and hopefully avoid some of Michael Crichton’s more fevered imaginings (经济放缓给了我们时间来考虑结果——并有望避免迈克尔·克莱顿的一些更狂热的想象)”可知，作者对克隆灭绝动物持谨慎的观点。故选A。

(医生和其他人经常告诉患有压力相关疾病的患者，她或他必须花一些时间放松)”和下文“In fact, just sitting in front of the TV set and trying to ignore the day’s problems don’t make much effect. (事实上，仅仅坐在电视机前，试图忽视一天的问题并没有多大影响)”可知，上文讲医生建议患有压力相关疾病的患者花一些时间放松，下文具体举例说明花时间放松没用，该空应该承接上下文讲医生建议患有压力相关疾病的患者花一些时间放松的这个提议，它并没有效果，A选项“当然，这帮不了什么忙。”切合语境，选项中“That”指的是上文“医生提出的建议”，选项中“isn’t a lot of help”呼应下文“don’t make much effect”。故选A项。
37．由上文“Lacking self-confidence, you will probably worry about disastrous things happening to you. (缺乏自信，你可能会担心灾难性的事情发生在你身上)”可知，该空应该继续讲缺乏自信带来的消极影响，才能引出下文“In such circumstances, you should replace negative, damaging feelings of failure with positive feelings of success.

40．本段依旧承接上文讲建设性地运用自己积极思想的力量（通过增强自信心）避免压力和焦虑，再结合上文“You will often be surprised to find that the “worst” may not be as bad as you thought it was going to be. The “bottom line” isn’t often as discouraging as you think it will be. (你经常会惊讶地发现，“最坏的情况”可能并没有你想象的那么糟糕。“底线”往往并不像你想象的那样令人沮丧)”讲“最坏的情况”或“底线”其实并没有你想象的那样令人沮丧可知，该空应该讲“最坏的情况”的实际情况于人有益，F选项“相反，它会帮助你制定相应的计划。”切合语境。故选F项。

【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章说明了和谐是中国和合文化的核心，介绍了六尺巷的故事。
56．考查副词。句意：和谐是中国和合文化的核心价值，在现代中国社会得到广泛认同。分析句子结构可知，空格处位于动词之前，修饰动词；因此需要用副词形式；wide的副词形式为widely意为“广泛地”。故填widely。
57．考查动词时态与主谓一致。句意：“和”一词由两个读音相同但含义不同的汉字组成:第一个意思是和谐，第二个意思是融合。分析句子结构可知，句子中缺少谓语动词，所以需要填入谓语动词；此处表示描述事实，因此用一般现在时；句子的主语为“The term”为单数，因此谓语动词要用单数。故填consists。
58．考查非谓语动词。句意：总之，和合文化就是求同存异，和谐共处，协调发展。involve意为“涉及”为及物动词；后加动名词。故填seeking。

60．考查冠词。句意：300多年前的康熙年间，一位名叫张英的高官收到家乡桐城的家人寄来的一封信。空格处位于可数名词前，所以需要填入冠词，此处泛指“一封信”，所以用不定冠词；首字母发音为辅音音素，应用a。故填a。
61．考查介词。句意：在信中，他们告诉张某，他们和邻居吴某就财产界限发生了争执，并寻求帮助。“关于某事争吵”为quarrel about/over sth.；此处指的是“就财产界限争吵”。故填over或者about。
62．考查条件状语从句。句意：如果它移动一米，会造成什么伤害 分析句子结构可知，空格处需要填入连词；根据后句“会造成什么伤害”可知，此处是“如果移动一米”，所以需要填入表示“如果”，引导条件状语从句。故填If。
63．考查形容词。句意：长城今天仍然巍然屹立，但它的建造者秦始皇已经不在了。此处句子倒装，且此处表示的是“建造者秦始皇已经不在了”；形容词gone意为“不复存在的”。故填gone。
64．考查非谓语动词。句意：被他的回答所启发，张家决定把他们的墙加高大约一米。decide to do sth.意为“决定做某事”；所以此处填动词不定式。故填to bring。

66．Students’ Time Spent on Physical Exercise Weekly
Nowadays, many students are aware of the significance of physical exercise, although the time they spend on it varies.
It can be seen from the survey that the percentage of students who spend 2-3 hours a week, 3-4 hours a week and 4-5 hours a week is respectively 30%, 40% and 18%. However, there are still12% of students who only spend 1-2 hours a week.
The survey shows that a significant number of students are committed to physical exercise. This trend may be due to increased awareness of the importance of physical fitness and promotion of sports activities by the school.
As far as I’m concerned, by continuing to promote and support physical activities within the school environment, we can ensure the overall well-being and health of our students.

However, just before they knew it, the seawater began to rise. Tom and Jack exchanged worried glances and they watched the waves inch closer to their masterpiece. They knew they had to act quickly to save their creation. Without wasting a moment, they sprang into action and tried to build a sand fence to protect castle. However, their efforts were in vain. Tears of disappointment welled up in Jack’s eyes the instant the castle was swept in waves. “Brother,” Tom whispered, wrapping Jack tight in his arms. “Let’s not yield to the waves. We shall find a way to thrive our creation.”
Jack nodded his head in agreement and they determined to rebuild it. They searched the beach for a perfect spot, away from the waves’ reach. There, the brothers worked tirelessly, their hands swiftly shaping and hardening fresh piles of sand. The sand castle began to take shape, rising from the ground like a magnificent palace. Tom even built a stone fence surrounding the structure. As the setting sun painted the sky with beautiful colors, Tom and Jack sat in front of their new artwork, feeling a deep sense of accomplishment. They knew that from that day on, in the face of any challenge, they would always be brave and hopeful.
