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.
4. 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.
5. Which word best describes Kelli Boehle
A. Intelligent. B. Selfless. C. Straightforward. D. Ambitious.
6. 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.
7. 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
C
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.
8. 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.
9. What is paragraph 2 intended to show concerning the new research
A. Historical context. B. Additional proof.
C. Sample analysis. D. Studying process.
10. 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.
11. 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.
D
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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.

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.

1. 续写词数应150左右；

But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence.

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.

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.
8. 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.
9. What is paragraph 2 intended to show concerning the new research
A. Historical context. B. Additional proof.
C. Sample analysis. D. Studying process.
10. 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.
11. 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.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】

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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了河南安阳的殷墟博物馆及其所展示的3000年历史的商代文明，以及近年来在殷墟遗址及其周边地区取得的重要考古发现。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意：其中四分之三以上从未公开展出过。空白处在句子中作状语，修饰后面的动词，使用副词，故填publicly。
【37题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：从殷墟出土的23辆车辆是新展馆的亮点。空白处在句子中做表语使用名词，根据上文“23 vehicles(23辆车辆)”可推理出空白处应填名词的复数，故填highlights。
【38题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：展出的还有从当今中国其他地区收集的商代文物。空白处在句子中作谓语，因句子表示的是一个客观情况，谓语动词使用一般现在时，此处是倒装结构，主语是Shang relics,谓语动词用复数形式。故填are。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：殷墟，2006年被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产，是商朝后期都城所在地。空白处在句子中作定语，因与其逻辑主语The Yinxu Ruins之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，使用过去分词，故填listed。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：该遗址还发现了3300年前的丰富遗骨，揭示了已知最古老的汉字书写系统，这是非常了不起的，也是中华民族发展史上的重要一环。空白处在句子中作状语，因空白处及下文表示的是一个自然而然的结果，使用现在分词，故填revealing。
【41题详解】

【42题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：近年来，殷墟及其周边地区取得了许多重大突破。空白处在句子中作谓语，因与主语之间为被动关系，使用被动语态，根据时间状语in recent years可知句子表示的是一个过去发生的动作对现在的影响，谓语动词使用现在完成时的被动语态，故填have been made。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：例如，发现了城市道路系统和王宫区人工湖的遗迹。因空白处后面有名词，根据冠词的用法，名词前需使用不定冠词表示“一个”含义，因空白处后面词urban的第一个发音字母为元音，故填an。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：这些发现进一步展现了一幅都城宏伟图景，推进了追踪中华文明起源的项目。根据上文“displayed a grand picture of a capital city(展现了一幅都城宏伟图景)”以及下文“carried forward the project of tracking the origins of the Chinese civilization(推进了追踪中华文明起源的项目)”可知，上下文之间为并列关系，使用表示并列关系的连词，故填and。
【45题详解】

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Ryan,
I’m excited to hear about the English Reading Bar initiative. I recommend focusing on young adult fiction.
First of all, young adult literature often tackles themes and issues that are highly relevant to the teenage experience, such as identity, friendship, and coming of age, which can foster deep engagement and discussion. Moreover, the writing style in these books is typically more approachable for English learners, allowing students to focus on comprehension and enjoyment without being overwhelmed by complex language. Last but not least, they offer a wide array of stories with diverse characters and settings, promoting inclusivity and broadening students’ perspectives on different cultures and experiences.
I believe these selections will not only attract students to the bar but also enhance their reading skills and cultural awareness.
Best regards,
Li Hua
