When I was a girl of eight, living in a town, I used to work for Mrs. White, an elderly lady. She paid me very little for my work, because she didn't have much money. She did, however, promise to give me a Christmas present. The girls I played with had baseball gloves, bicycles and ice skates, and I was so eager to acquire any one of these. On Christmas morning, Mrs. White gave me a little package which could hardly hold anything. I was painfully disappointed but she told me it was a kind of magic. My disappointment turned into curiosity.
With great excitement I opened the package, only to find a pile of ten sheets of black paper inside, each labeled in colorful letters, Carbon Paper Regal Premium. I didn't know what it was. "Is it magic " I asked. My Aunt Karen, who was a school teacher, answered, "It really is!" She took two pieces of white paper and placed between them one of the black sheets from the box. Then, with a hard pencil, she wrote my name on the upper sheet. Removing it and the Carbon Paper Regal Premium, she handed me the second sheet, which her pencil had in no way touched. There was my name!
I was enthralled. I wrote and wrote, using up whole tablets until the last piece of black paper was used up. It was a game I didn't want to end. I was very happy with my special gift. I can honestly say that, in that one moment, I understood as much about printing, copying words and the mystery of spreading ideas as I have learned in the remaining half-century of my life.
I hope that this year some boys and girls will receive, from thoughtful adults who really love them, gifts that will shock them. It is such gifts and such experiences — usually costing little or nothing — that transform a life and lend it a motivation that may continue for decades.
24.Why did Mrs. White promise to give the girl a Christmas present
A. She wanted to meet the child's wish.
B. She rewarded the girl for her good work.
C. She gave gifts to every child in the town.
D. She wanted to make up for the low salary.
25.What do we know about Carbon Paper Regal Premium
A. It is used in school teaching.
B. It is made by special magicians.
C. It usually consists of colorful paper.
D. It can copy something written on paper.
26.What does the underlined sentence "I was enthralled." in Paragraph 3 mean
A. I was addicted to Carbon Paper Regal Premium.
B. I was curious about Carbon Paper Regal Premium.
C. I was confused about Carbon Paper Regal Premium.
D. I was shocked there was a name on the second sheet.
27.What message does the author seem to convey in the text

C. Children need to receive a gift that they want.
D. Carbon Paper Regal Premium is a perfect gift.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a new class of hearing aid devices, which do not require a medical exam. That means Americans will be able to buy hearing aids later this year without seeing a doctor or receiving a medical examination.
The devices are designed for adults with mild to moderate hearing problems. The FDA estimates that the hearing aids could help nearly 30 million adults in the United States, but only about one-fifth of people with hearing problems use the devices currently.
"Today's action by the FDA represents a significant milestone in making hearing aids more cost-effective and accessible," Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, told reporters on Tuesday. The FDA first proposed the rule change for hearing aids last year and the new rules will take effect in the middle of October. The move follows years of pressure from medical experts and others to make the devices less costly and easier to get.
However, cost is still a barrier right now. Americans can pay more than $5,000 for hearing aids, which is for the device itself and fitting services. Private insurance coverage is also limited for the devices. And government insurance for older people, known as Medicare, does not pay for them. Medicare only pays for hearing tests.
"The requirement to see a specialist was not only a burden and an annoyance for many consumers but also it actually created a competitive barrier to entry," said Brian Deese, a White House economic adviser. Deese added that the government estimates that Americans could save as much as $2,800 for a set of hearing aids if they want to buy them.
But FDA officials noted that the savings will depend on when producers launch products and how much they cost. "It's very hard to predict exactly what we'll see and when," said Dr. Jeffrey Shuren, the FDA's medical device chief. Shuren added officials expected to see increased competition from new producers and new products from existing hearing aid makers.
28.Who probably use the new hearing aid devices
A. The people who cannot afford medical fee.
B. The 20 percent of people who can pay for them.
C. The people who needn't be examined by doctors.
D. The adults whose hearing problems are not serious.
29.What might the rule change bring
A. Hearing tests for free.
B. More pressure from medical experts.
C. Lower cost of the hearing devices.
D. More private insurance coverage.
30.What may Deese agree with
A. Seeing a specialist was inaccessible.
B. Seeing a specialist was a troublesome experience.
C. The government will save much medical expense.
D. Americans will pay more money for medical care.
31.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. When the cost will be reduced is uncertain.
B. Existing hearing aid makers can benefit most.
C. Officials will decide the price of the hearing aids.
D. New producers will succeed in the competition.
D
The weather in Texas may have cooled since the recent extreme heat, but the temperature will be high at the State Board of Education meeting in Austin this month as officials debate how climate change is taught in Texas schools.
Pat Hardy, who agrees with the views of the energy department, is resisting proposed changes to science standards for pre-teen pupils. These would emphasize the significance of human activity in recent climate change and encourage discussion of reduction measures.
Most scientists and experts sharply argue against Hardy's views. "They casually view the career work of scholars and scientists as just another misguided opinion," says Dan Quinn, senior communications strategist at the Texas Freedom Network, a non-profit group that monitors public education. Such debates reflect fierce discussions across the US and around the world, as researchers, policymakers, teachers and students step up demands for a greater focus on teaching about the facts of climate change in schools.
A study, looking at how state public schools across the country address climate change in science classes, gave barely half of US states a grade B+ or higher. Among the 10 worst performers were some of the most populous states, including Texas, which was given the lowest grade (F) and has a huge influence because its textbooks are widely sold elsewhere.
Glenn Branch, the center's deputy director, cautions that setting state-level science standards is only one limited norm in a country that decentralizes (使分权) decisions to local school boards. Even if a state is considered a high performer in its science standards, "that does not mean it will be taught", he says.
Branch points out that, even if a growing number of official guidelines and textbooks reflect scientific consensus (共识) on climate change, unofficial educational materials that convey more biased (带有偏见的) perspectives are being distributed to teachers. They include materials sponsored by libertarian think-tanks (智库) and energy industry associations.
32.Why is the weather in Texas mentioned in Paragraph 1
A. To forecast a policy shift in Texas schools.
B. To stress the consequences of climate change.
C. To indicate the atmosphere at the board meeting.
D. To draw the public's attention to energy shortages.
33.What does Quinn think of Hardy
A. Hardy overstates the existing panic.
B. Hardy denies the value of scientific work.
C. Hardy shows no concern for pre-teens.
D. Hardy expresses self-contradictory views
34.Which will Branch probably agree about state-level science standards
A. The standards call for regular revision.
B. The standards cater to local needs.
C. The standards have limited influence.
D. The standards require urgent application.
35.What is implied about climate change teaching in some schools in the last paragraph
A. It agrees to major public demands.
B. It reflects teachers' personal biases.
C. It may misrepresent the energy department.
D. It can be impacted by external forces.

Nature supports us in a wide variety of ways, whether we are conscious of these gifts or not. 36 By following these tricks for first-time campers, anyone can engage with nature in a more grateful way.
Take full advantage of Nature
If you're close to flowing water, you can choose from various approaches to stay hydrated, as well as wash dishes and do laundry, without taking much trouble to bring all your water with you. 37 This is a fantastic way to begin your day.
Do your Research
38 Some trees supply wood that's appropriate for making walking sticks. Some wood is suitable for starting fires, while other wood is fit for keeping them going. Other trees may provide nuts and fruits.
Fully Enjoy Nature
My hope is that the strategies for first-time campers will help you appreciate the great outdoors. Whether you're hiking, fishing, swimming, or cooking by a warm fire, each of them is fun. I live approximately 2 miles from fabulous Current River, which is fed by cold springs some 40 miles upstream. 39
I have no interest in hunting or party; I fancy simply sitting on a sand bar at dawn, watching the mist rise from the water. 40 I listen for the beavers making splashes at night with their wide, flat tails. I hear coyotes howling at night too. I've seen cottonmouth snakes and even panther tracks! I love the serenity and the small thrills, the kinds of experiences I wouldn't trade for anything in the world.
A. I see and hear all kinds of wildlife.
B. But nature isn't just there for us to exploit.
C. Set up a place where you can stay comfortably.
D. If you're near a body of water, you can go swimming.
E. Become familiar with different trees and what they offer.
F. If you can accept nature as it is, it can work in your favor.

"Will Al 44 humans in the future " I asked. "To a certain degree," Lee responded. "But they cannot do jobs that require 45 like pity and love or that need creativity. AI today is only good at particular tasks that need to be 46 over and over again. So it is still too early for people to 47 the future of our jobs."
Lee gave 48 to young people who are interested in learning more about the rapidly developing 49 . "Get started," he said. "The basic programing language for AI is Python. The Internet and free online courses 50 plenty of ways to learn Python. That is the first step for those who are 51 to make researches into it."
"Books are another great way to advance your knowledge. Always have a programing book 52 to read," Lee said. "Learning from books and online programs is truly the quickest way to get started."
Lee 53 that AI could cause 54 if it is used for the wrong purposes. But, he added, "It also offers a huge world of 55 ."

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One morning on my way to school, I noticed an elderly woman dressed in a yellow vest (马甲) carrying a garbage bag and one of those rubbish claws (爪形器具). "What's that lady doing " I asked mum. "Vest Lady. She just picks up rubbish around here for fun," mum said. "Why would someone think picking up rubbish looking like a construction worker is fun " I puzzled.
For several years I'd witness this mysterious Vest Lady—rain or shine — on my way to school. I had thought she was crazy for picking up rubbish. Eventually I smiled and waved at her each time I saw her. Later, I moved to high school. The time I saw rubbish here and there I felt really annoyed. Then I'd think, "Why isn't anyone picking up this rubbish People are so inconsiderate (不体谅人的)!" However, shortly after, I realized picking up the rubbish was not someone ease's problem.
Now I couldn't walk past litter without feeling guilty. I volunteered to clean up rubbish around our school. Strange as it might sound, picking up litter was kind of a thrill for me! In fact, I was so determined that for my 17th birthday I bought myself a rubbish claw, reusable gloves and a reflective safety yellow vest with my own name on it.
During my first attempt in my stylish (时髦的) equipment, I met with unfriendly looks from others as if I were a criminal doing community service. One day, I had an epiphany (顿悟): "I'm acting just like Vest Lady!"
But there was too much rubbish around, cigarette ends littered about, cans rolling on the street, pieces of paper hidden in the grass and plastic. I alone was too weak! How would I get more volunteers involved in rubbish removal (清除) A smart idea flashed into my mind.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Soon I created my website go. picking . _______________________________________

35.答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据最近一段中"Branch points out that, even if a growing number of official guidelines and textbooks reflect scientific consensus (共识) on climate change, unofficial educational materials that convey more biased (带有偏见的) perspectives are being distributed to teachers.(Branch指出,尽管越来越多的官方指南和教科书反映了对气候变化的科学共识,但向教师分发的非官方教材传达了更多的偏见观点)"可知,最后一段中Branch暗示学校的气候变化教学会受到外部力量的影响,比如,非官方教材。故选D项。

Dear Peter,
How is everything going on with you these days I'm more than glad to receive your letter asking me for help. In fact, it's a great honour for me to introduce some classical Chinese poems to you. The following are my arrangements for it.
Firstly, let's fix a time when both of us are available. What about this Saturday afternoon In addition, there is no doubt that the People's Park is an excellent place to learn classical Chinese poems, which is not far away from my home and yours.

第二节
Paragraph 1:
Soon I created my website go. picking . On the website I launched a rubbish removal campaign. I described my purpose-calling on volunteers to pick up rubbish. I posted pictures of rubbish littered about on the website, which could not only illustrate the severe situation but also show that a large number of volunteers were in great need. Besides, I shared the story of Vest Lady who influenced me so much. Surprisingly, my website gradually became a big hit on the internet.
Paragraph 2:
More and more people put on vests with their own names. Volunteers could be seen picking up rubbish in their spare time. The yellow vests made beautiful scenery in the park or on the street. With our joint efforts, the environment became better and better. What delighted me most was that people's awareness of environmental protection was improved. The rubbish removal campaign was a big success. Thanks to Vest Lady who rooted the sense of environmental protection in my mind, more people became Vest Lady.

Text 10
People all over the world enjoy sports. Sports help people keep healthy and happy, helping them to live longer. Sports change with the seasons. People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of people's work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life. They use them in their sports, too. Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them.
Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or those with many rivers. Some sports or games go back to thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is two hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game, they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person's character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with dignity.
