The “Got Talent” crew is one of the pioneers in finding and publicizing music talent and has been giving the world some of its most favorite artists for almost two decades. In 2023, “Britain’s Got Talent”（BGT）uncovered a music al genius named Malakai Bayoh who impressed the audience with perfect high-note singing.
The London-based 13-year-old boy appeared for the show’s audition（海选）in April, 2023 and was accompanied by his mom and sister. “My big dream is to be an opera singer. I started singing at 7,” said Malakai to the BGT team. He then added jokingly, “My mom made me join the choir because she’s very bossy.” The teenager mentioned she was his biggest fan.
Malakai’s mom was worried as he was about to perform and said, “It scares me because, on his first show, somebody heckled（对……起哄）him. It was sad to see someone boo a child on stage because it might destroy his confidence completely.” Contrary to his mom’s fear, Malakai set the stage on fire singing a beautiful song and the entire crowd was impressed by his amazing voice. As he ended his song, the audience and the judges gave him a big round of applause. The performance won him Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer, sending him straight to the semi-finals of the show.
The other judges called Malakai’s performance “perfect” and “heavenly”. His angelic voice blew the audience away and the judges thanked the teen for coming to the show. Malakai went on to become one of the finalists of the show and signed a record deal with Universal Music.
Malakai’s audition at the BGT went viral on social media, “I’m a trained singer, and a music teacher by profession, and sang this song as a young performer myself. I can say with absolute certainty this is the best I’ve ever heard this song sung, with proper technique and proper breathing. This boy is a gifted singer,” @mayacorinne878 posted.
24．What made Malakai’s mom feel worried
A．The judge’s expression B．Her son’s performance on stage
C．A bad experience D．Her son’s difficulty in singing in public
25．What does the phrase “set the stage on fire” in paragraph 3 imply about Malakai’s performance
A．He accidentally caused a literal fire during his performance.
B．His performance was extremely passionate and energetic.
C．His performance received the lowest rating possible.
D．He refused to perform unless certain conditions were met.
26．What can be inferred about Malakai’s talent
A．He has average talent but is well-received due to his age.
B．He has exceptional talent that is recognized by both professionals and the public.
C．He has talent, but his performance was not enough to send him to the semi-finals.
D．He lacks talent, but his story touched the hearts of the audience.
27．What is the text mainly about
A．The rise of a young opera singer B．The impact of social media on music talent
C．The history of “Got Talent” shows D．The challenges faced by young performers
C
For adults who have struggled with understanding new math homework or surprised at how quickly kids can learn a second language, there is new evidence that shows kids can really learn things much faster than adults.
A study published in Current Biology finds that children and adults have different concentrations of a key brain messenger called gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA．This messenger slows down the brain by blocking specific signals in the body’s central nervous system. It also produces a calming effect and is thought to play a major role in controlling the overactivity of nerve cells associated with anxiety, stress and fear. All these contribute to the learning of new things.
In the study, the researchers from Brown University used neuro-imaging techniques to examine visual perceptive（视觉感知的）learning in elementary school-aged children and adults. Participants were shown a number of different images and were later asked questions about them following the test.
Visual learning caused an increase of GABA in children’s visual cortex, the area of the brain that processes visual information. However, GABA levels didn’t change in the adults who took the same visual tests. In addition, children participants kept that GABA increase for hours after training ended, while the concentrations of GABA remained the same in the adults studied.
“In subsequent behavioral experiments, we found that children indeed learn more items within a given period of time than adults.” said Sebastian M. Frank, the co-author of the study. “Our results therefore point to GABA as a key player in making learning more efficient in children.”
These results, the authors argue, should encourage teachers and parents to keep giving children opportunities to learn anything from riding a bike to playing an instrument throughout their childhood.
The findings may also change neuro-scientists’ conception of brain maturity in children. “Although children’s brains are not yet fully mature and many of their behavioral and cognitive functions are not as efficient as in adults, children are not, in general, surpassed in their learning abilities by adults,” said study co-author Takeo Watanabe.
28．What’s the function of GABA
A．Send specific messages to the brain. B．Deal with complex math problems.
C．Make the nervous system more active. D．Increase efficiency in learning new things.
29．What do we know about the children taking the visual test
A．Their GABA concentrations kept increasing after training.
B．Their learning abilities still needed to be improved.
C．They could remember more images than adults.
D．They were surpassed by adults in learning abilities.
30．How did the researchers do the research
A．By comparing participants’ reaction. B．By analyzing statistics.
C．By collecting relative evidence. D．By conducting online survey
31．What does Takeo Watanabe want to say in the last paragraph
A．Neuro-scientists don’t fully understand brain maturity in children.
B．Children are not mature in their behavior and cognition.
C．It takes a long time for children’s brains to be fully mature.
D．Children’s brain maturity does not affect their learning abilities.
D
Artificial intelligence（AI）models have long surpassed just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, Open AI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while faithfully following your content instructions.
Sora is said to be superior to many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios（屏幕高宽比）for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests.
Aside from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is astonishing. Sora can create detailed scenes with several characters, specific types of motion, and accurate subject and background details. Beyond the user’s requests, it also understands how these elements exist in the real world. For example, reflections in the water change as a woman walks by.
Sora’s amazing performance wouldn’t be possible without its helpful assistant, ChatGPT, which transforms simple sentences into detailed descriptions, improving the accuracy of output.
However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order. One possible reason is that Sora learns each basic unit of a video, known as a spacetime patch（时空补丁）, independently.
Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system, aiming to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will assist OpenAI in enhancing the model to better serve creative professionals.
32．What is the main focus of paragraph 2 and 3
A．Sora’s development. B．Sora’s diversity.
C．Sora’s capabilities. D．Sora’s popularity.
33．Why does the author provide the example in paragraph 5
A．To highlight Sora’s potential safety risks. B．To illustrate Sora’s existing limitations.
C．To showcase Sora’s perfect performance. D．To explain the concept of a spacetime patch.
34．What can we know about Sora up to now
A．It has been made available to various industries. B．Its commercial release has been called off.
C．It has exposed alarming security issues. D．It is undergoing testing and improvement.
35．What’s the best title for the text
A．Sora: Lead the way in creating videos B．Sora: Surpass existing ChatGPT
C．Sora:Generate a rich variety of videos D．Sora:A perfect text-to-video AI model

How to ask good questions
Effective communication is vital for all relationship. Learning what questions to ask can improve how you work with team members, your leadership skills, and how you communicate with loved ones. 36
Be a good listener. When someone gives you an answer or explains something to you, pay attention. 37 By focusing on listening, you’ll avoid asking a general question that you should probably know the answer to. When someone else is speaking, make eye contact and use body language such as nodding to show you understand.
Don’t be afraid of your questions. 38 Maybe it’s your first time doing a task, and you want to do it properly. Wrong questions don’t exist —especially if you’ve never done this before. Think about it this way: If you don’t ask your question, you may make some easily avoidable mistakes.
39 . Question asking isn’t supposed to be a fast-paced conversation. Pausing to listen between answers gives you time to think about what was said and ask better follow-up questions. Don’t feel pressured to respond quickly. Fast responses can mess with the conversation’s flow. You don’t want to feel rushed or rush others, so learn to give yourself time to think.
Keep your questions short. A long question shows a lack of self-awareness. 40 You may want to provide enough de tail in your question, but not too much. The person you’re asking should only have to hear your question once, not three or four times. Focusing on asking open-ended questions in one sentence can still set up a good conversation.
A．Use silence to your advantage.
B．Respond with follow-up questions.
C．It can end up confusing someone more than it should.
D．The key to an effective communication is being a good listener.
E．Here are some tips on how you can start asking better questions.
F．If you’re confused about something, you have every right to ask for clarity.
G．If you don’t listen properly, you may find yourself asking already-answered questions.

As a child, I loved exploring the attic（阁楼）-a 41 wonderland filled with relics of the past. One day, I stumbled upon a wooden chest, 42 behind an old bookshelf. With 43 hands, I opened it and found my great-grandfather’s journal.

Today, when I hold the worn journal, I realize it’s not just a forgotten treasure, but a 50 legacy（遗产）-a source of strength and 51 passed down through generations. And I vow to 52 it for future generations, so they too can find 53 in its pages.
In this 54 age, where memories are stored on the internet and words are fleeting, the journal serves as a physical sign of our history. 55 I prepare to pass it on to the next generation, I do so with the hope that they will find the same unwavering spirit that has guided me.

When I was in Grade 10, my family had a tough time. My parents lost their jobs during the Depression. Dad was too ill to work outside, while mum had a hard time raising us kids on her own in our small community. We relied on our community assistance to keep us clothed, and although our clothes were second-hand, we thought they were beautiful.
Looking back, I realize what Mum went through for sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because our shoes were worn out. Constant moving was typical for my family in these times. Rent was twenty-five dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it. These were hard and sad years, but we never complained.
New Year was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five-dollar fund for social services. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay back rent, assuring us all of a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for New Year.
Unknown to Mum, I had been shoveling snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of gloves. I knew exactly which gloves I wanted. They were made of genuine leather and they had a price of twenty three dollars. Well, the big day came on the last day of that year. I was very excited, as I hurried to catch the bus. It was only a half-a-mile walk, but on the way, I noticed a house with lights and decorations. It was then that I realized at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for goodies. I knew then that we would have no delicious food for New Year, and I felt sad.
As I continued walking, I began to feel confused. I was sixteen years old, and I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of gloves while Mum was home in tears. She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents.

Sharing Life Online
Nowadays, it has become increasingly common to witness young individuals eager to share their daily life on various social media platforms.
They post photos, videos, and thoughts, which can instantly get likes and comments. This phenomenon is driven by the desire for self-expression and social connect ion in the digital age.
Personally, while I appreciate the convenience and global reach of social media, I remain cautious about oversharing and the potential loss of privacy. Striking a balance between sharing and keeping a private space seems wise to me due to cybersecurity issues.

范文1：
The bus drove off without me. Across the street from the bus stop was a big grocery store. I went into the store and bought a turkey, ham, oranges, and other goodies. I spent every dollar of my hard-earned money. The owner of the grocery store said, “Girl, the groceries have packed up like a mountain, and you can’t carry them home by yourself.” So I asked two boys with carriers on their bicycles to take them the half-mile down to my house. With great excitement and tears in my eyes, I knocked on the door.
When Mum opened the door, she surprisingly found that some of the groceries fell inside onto the floor. Holding back the tears, I whispered, “Happy New Year! A big surprise!” “Can you tell me what happened ” Mum was so excited that she cried out. I had a lot of explanations as we unpacked all the food and put it away. That day, I received plenty of hugs and kisses from Mum. Even though I failed to get a new pair of gloves, the smile on Mum’s face made it all worthwhile. It turned out to be an unforgettable New Year for us after all!
范文2:
The bus drove off without me. As the bus vanished out of my sight, many thoughts and feelings raced through my mind. I was at a loss as to whether I should buy myself gloves or give Mum a present. Various contradictory feelings entangled me painfully. It took me several minutes to make up my mind—I decided to give Mum a present. Thus, I rushed across the street and dashed into a nearby grocery store, buying some groceries to take them home as a present. I assumed that Mum would be overwhelmed with happiness as soon as she saw the groceries. Arriving home, I placed them on the floor.
When Mum opened the door, she surprisingly found that some of the groceries fell inside onto the floor. “Oh my goodness!” She exclaimed, shifting her gaze from the groceries to me. Confusion was evident in her eyes. However, delight replaced the confusion after I explained everything to her. She pulled me into her arms, embraced me tightly, and shed tears of emotion. With a trembling voice, she whispered, “Thank you, my darling!” This night, our laughter echoed through the house, creating a cherished memory that would remain vivid in my mind forever.

W: Oh, yeah. I’m not so interested in the gym because I can play sports outside when I’m surrounded by nature. Sunbathing outdoors is very comfortable.
M: You’re right.
W: But in terms of the swimming pool, I’m actually interested in it, because the swimming pool makes me feel like I am at the seaside.（12）If there is a big swimming pool in the hotel, I would definitely stay there for a long time.

I would like to give you more information about this painting. It’s called Impression, Sunrise. And it was drawn in 1872 by the famous French painter Claude Monet. The artist was inspired by a very nice foggy, early morning in a port town in the south of France.（17）He spent five months finishing the picture. As you can see, it’s quite big, but doesn’t have too many things on it. In the central part of it are two boats painted in black.（18）There are some people in the boats, but we can’t tell for certain if they’re men or women, or children. Monet used some bright colors in the painting as well because he also wanted to show the joy from the rising sun. In the distance, we can see outlines of ships, and also their blue shadows in the water.（19）The ships can’t be seen very clearly because the fog covers them, creating a sense of mystery around the whole scenery.（20）This is a smart decision by Monet to display a moment of secrecy in the middle of a cheerful early morning environment. It makes the viewers curious about the painting so that they would spend more time with it.（20）
