Juleus Ghunta is a published children’s author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could barely read. Ghunta’s family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school, and to keep Ghunta at home.
When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn’t catch up on his reading skills. Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had not been exposed to books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could spell his name, but he still couldn’t make out words, spell, or read with understanding.
When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher decided to start a special reading program for struggling students. Ghunta was the first student to sign up. The teacher was incredibly kind to him. She did not ask anything of Ghunta, except that he worked hard and believed in himself.
Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. “She had left me with the gift of literacy,” he said, “and with the value as a human being.” His life took a new direction. He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for “most improved in reading”. He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.
“I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her—the hope and the light—with me and how it continues to be a source of joy.”
24. What do we know about Ghunta’s family
A. The family lived a poor life.
B. Their house sat in the urban area.
C. His mother had no choice of resources.
D. The family was supported by his parents.

A bot is a software program that often works by itself on the internet to perform the same kinds of actions as humans do. The report, produced by California-based internet security company Imperva, found that 49.6 percent of worldwide internet traffic ( 互联网流量） came from bots in 2023, while from human users fell to 50.4 percent. Imperva's study also found that web traffic linked to "bad bots" grew to 32 percent in 2023, a rise of 30.2 percent from 2022. Nanhi Singh, a security advisor at Imperva, said that bots are currently one of growing threats facing almost every industry.
Bots are generally designed to visit websites and independently search for many kinds of online information. They are able to operate at much greater speeds than humans and can process repeated searches and process large amounts of data. Online search advisor Yoast notes that some bots are considered good because they can be useful to individuals through tools such as OpenAI's chatbot, ChatGPT. Some others are considered malicious, because they are trained to hack, or break into network computer systems. These kinds of bots pretend themselves as humans and collect private data or financial information that can be used to commit crimes. And some bots are even designed to spread misinformation and false news.
The study also suggested that some countries have a much bigger problem with bad bots than others. Web traffic linked to bad bots in 2023 accounted for 71 percent in Ireland while Germany was next, with 67.5 percent. The percentage of Mexico and the USA was reported to be 42.8 percent and 35.4 percent respectively. Imperva even reported that bad bot activity would lead to account takeovers, which increased 10 percent in 2023 over 2022. The highest number of account takeovers – 36.8 percent–happened in the financial services industry. Next was the travel industry, with 11.5 percent, followed by business services at eight percent.
Nanhi Singh said the problem is likely to worsen in coming years to the point where such bots would exist everywhere. She urged organizations to introduce bot management and security tools in an effort to limit automated traffic and prevent dangerous account takeovers.
28. What did Imperva's study find
A. Bad bots caused 49.6% of web traffic in 2023.
B. Traffic from human users fell to the second in 2023.
C. Web traffic linked to "bad bots" rose sharply in 2023.
D. Nearly half of the world's web traffic was caused by bad bots in 2023.
29. What does the underlined word "malicious" in Paragraph 2mean
A. Useful. B. Dependable. C. Harmful. D. Irresponsible.
30. What is Nanhi Singh's attitude towards current situation of web traffic
A. Optimistic. B. Satisfied. C. Concerned. D. Conservative.
31. What can be learned about bots from the passage
A. Every industry is currently threatened by bots.
B. Bots can be both helpful and troublesome.
C. Bots can search for online information by themselves.
D. Web traffic linked to bad bots was the most serious problem in Ireland in 2023.
D
A new study examines possible harm caused by microscopic pieces of plastic that end up inside people's bodies. These materials -known as microplastics and nanoplastics - can enter the body through the air or in food or drinks.
One new study suggests the buildup of such plastics inside the body can increase the risk of a stroke, heart attack or death. But the researchers noted the evidence presented cannot prove a direct link between tiny plastic materials and heart problems.
The study involved 257 people who had medical operations to clear blocked blood vessels （血管） in their necks. Italian researchers examined the fatty buildup the doctors removed from the carotid arteries, which supply blood and oxygen to the brain. Using two methods, they found evidence of plastics-mostly nanoplastics that cannot be seen-in the artery plaque（动脉斑块）of 150 patients. No evidence of plastics was seen in 107 patients.
The team followed these people for three years. During that time, 30 individuals, or 20 percent of the group with plastics, had a heart attack, stroke, or died from any cause. These rates dropped to about eight percent among those with no evidence of plastics. Research results were recently published in a study in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The researchers admitted their study was very small. For example, it only looked at people with narrowed arteries who were already at risk for heart attacks and stroke.
Steve Nissen is a heart expert at the Cleveland Clinic in the state of Ohio who was not part of the study. He told the Associated Press he thinks the team's estimate that the risk of heart attack, stroke or death was four times greater seems too high. "It would mean that these microplastics are the most important cause of coronary heart disease （冠心病） yet discovered. And I just don't think that's likely to be right," Nissen said. "Maybe, it's just a wake-up call that perhaps we need to take the problem of microplastics more seriously." Nissen added.
32. How did the researchers carry out their study
A. By doing online surveys.
B. By interviewing participants.
C. By comparing with former experiments.
D. By conducting experiments and analyzing data.
33. What did the team find about the 150 patients
A. They were in good health before the study.
B. No evidence of plastics were found in them.
C. 20 percent of them died from heart attacks.
D. They developed many more health problems than the 107 patients.
34. What can be inferred from Nissen's words
A. There was no relationship between microplastics and heart diseases.
B. We should pay more attention to the harm of microplastics to our body.
C. The result proved a direct link between tiny plastic materials and heart problems.
D. The result was inaccurate because they only looked at people with narrowed arteries.
35. Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A. Tiny plastic materials -- Harmful to our body
B. Tiny plastic materials --Exist in our body
C. Tiny plastic materials --A leading cause of our health.
D. Tiny plastic materials -- A direct reason for heart diseases.

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。
When was the last time something important slipped your mind . Maybe it was the answer to a test question, the name of an acquaintance or where you left your keys. 36 People’s ability to remember has less to do with natural talent than it does with training and practice. When students want to prepare for a test they often try to study by simply reading over the material . again, copying notes, etc. 37 People remember more when they actively engage with the material they are learning rather than passively receiving it.
38 Come up with questions about the topic, and try to answer them without looking at your notes. It also helps . to try to engage with the material in different ways. For example; you could sketch or diagram the information, or you. could write your own outline or study guide. The more you use the information, the more likely you are to remember it.
A psychologist(心理学家) named . Herman Ebbinghaus made . an important discovery about memory and forgetting. He found that people tend to forget information in a regular pattern. They forget the most information shortly after learning it. 39 Every time the person reviews the information, it causes them to forget less of it——which means they remember more. So it is essential to review things you want to remember shortly after learning them. 40
Applying these strategies will help improve your memory so that you can access everything you learn whenever you need it.
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. Strike while the iron is hot.
C. Fortunately, memory can be improved.
D. Over time, you can review them less and less frequently.
E. The rate at which they forget then slows down over time.
F. One great way to do this is to test yourself on the material.
G. But these methods of remembering are not always effective.

Hannah and I have been best friends since primary school and we spend almost every day with each other, sharing everything happening in our daily life and discussing problems in our school work. Sometimes, other children say we are no fun because we are both very academic and like to study, but we like it that way. We are both very hard-working and always get good grades at school.
Last Monday, we had a surprise math quiz. Thinking it was quite easy, I was not worried about the results at all. I must have sounded very proud of myself after the quiz, saying how easy it was and how I was sure to get a good grade. Unexpectedly, the next day after class, my math teacher told me that I had the lowest grade in the class! My heart sank and a great sense of shame washed over me; I must be really stupid to fail a simple math quiz!
Afterwards, I pretended to be cheerful, as if nothing had happened, but Hannah sensed something was wrong. When we went to wash our hands in the girls' washroom before lunch, Hannah tried to figure out what was the matter. Struggling to hold back my tears, I admitted I had failed the math quiz. "But you are a born math genius and you have put all your efforts in it. There must be some mistakes!" Hannah couldn't believe her ears. "I shouldn't have been so confident. Would you please keep it a secret for me " I begged. Hannah nodded, promising not to tell anyone else about the secret.
However, that afternoon I noticed that my classmates were staring at me as I came into math class and, when I went to sit down, I was shocked to find a piece of paper on my desk that said, "Stupid Sarah got a D!" I was so upset that I felt like crying. I thought that Hannah must have told my classmates about my grade after promising not to. Everyone must have been laughing behind my back!

1.续写词数应为150个左右；

I was so angry that I went straight to Hannah. "Why didn't you keep my grade as a secret as promised " I shouted at Hannah, glaring at her, my eyes burning with annoyance and disappointment. Surprised and innocent, she explained that she didn't betray me. However, I couldn't compose myself that I covered my ears with both hands, refusing to hear even a single word from her. Hannah bit her lips nervously, trying to hold back her tears. Then, she cast an anxious look at me, dashed out of the classroom and rushed to the math teacher's office. "What is she doing " I thought to myself.
The next morning, the math teacher approached me, apologizing for his carelessness. A sense of shock choked my words. Only then did I realize that I misunderstood my best friend Hannah. With a wave of shame and embarrassment flooding over me, I walked slowly to Hannah, sincerely expressing my apology. To my surprise, she thumbed up, spread her arms, and hugged me tightly. Since then, our friendship has been further strengthened. Actually, nothing can defeat real friendship.
