When my daughter was ten, she and my husband Joe, were united in their desire for a dog. As for me, I shared none of their canine just, because I have no time to take care of a dog. “But we’ll do it.” “Really You’re going to walk the dog Feed the dog Bath e the dog ” “Yes, we promise.”
They didn’t. From day two（everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day）, neither thought to walk the dog. While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to schedule her vet appointments, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one.
Quickly, we developed something of a Vulcan mind meld（心灵融合）. She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes, beam her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand-which strangely I almost always did. She kept me company, snoring on my home-office couch as I worked, cradling against my feet as I read, and splaying across my stomach as I watched television.
Even so, part of me continued to resent（怨恨）walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised. Not fair, I’d balk（畏缩，犹豫）silently as she and I walked. Not fair, I’d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home.
One day my husband’s doctor uttered an unthinkable word: leukemic（白血病）. I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital, doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.
Still, Misty needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with. As the months went by, I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The morning walk before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts before the day’s medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the day’s upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.
After Joe died, Misty slept on his pillow.
I’m grateful to a point. After years of balking, I’ve come to enjoy my walks with Misty. As I watch her chase a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminded me, too, that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future, there’s almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.
56．Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined part in Paragraph 1
A．I was afraid of dog
B．I didn’t care their desire.

A．The dog was naughty and annoying.
B．Although loving the dog, she was unwilling to walk her.
C．She would rather stay at home with Misty than walk her.

58．The story came to its turning point when ______.
A．Joe died B．the writer began to walk the dog
C．Joe fell ill D．the dog tried to please the writer
59．Why did the writer continue to walk Misty while Joe was in hospital
A．Because the walk provided her with spiritual comfort.
B．Because her friends didn’t offer any help.
C．Because she could unfold the day’s medical drama.

When we think of personal computers（PCs）, we often imagine bulky（笨重的）monitors and large screens. As the PC industry faces difficulties, it looks to AI to be its saving grace. What might this “partnership” hold in store
Since the birth of the first electronic computer in 1946, the personal computer has been widely used all over the world. However, improved technology and a longer computer lifespan have reduced people’s need to get new computers as frequently. At the same time, it is more difficult to innovate in such a stable and fixed manufacturing industry. This has led to about two years of reduced global shipments of computers, reported Science and Technology Daily.
But Microsoft’s recent move has stirred things up. It introduced a new AI Copilot to Windows11 PCs at the beginning of 2024, which was seen as a measure to reinvigorate the industry by bringing the power of AI into the equation.
As of Jan 15, Copilot had already reached a “milestone” with more than 5billion chats and more than 5billion images, according to Microsoft. It is already capable of performing many functions. Whether you need help to make a summary of a web page, send an email to your teacher, change your settings to dark mode, enable Bluetooth, or connect a new pair of headphones, Windows’ Copilot can assist you.
Apart from serving as a housekeeper for your PC, the new system also has an artistic side. Window’s collaboration（合作）with Suno, a leading AI music creation company, allows people to easily create unique and beautiful songs regardless of their musical ability by giving orders like: “Create a pop song about a family adventure”.
So now, the race is on. Chip companies such as NVIDIA and Intel are competing to release a series of new products designed for AI PCs, and Lenovo Group has also launched over 10 new AI PC products, reported China Economic Net.
However, AI PCs’ capabilities（功能）are still quite basic and far from accurately meeting people’s personalized（个性化的）AI assistant needs. The extent to which AI-integrated PCs can deliver intelligent experiences and the level of user acceptance are still subject to（取决于）market testing.
61．What is leading to fewer people buying new computers, according to the text
A．Reduced interest in PCs.
B．Extended computer lifespan.
C．Rising shipment fees.
D．Rapid innovations in manufacturing.
62．What does the underlined word “reinvigorate” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Revive. B．Introduce. C．Weaken. D．Understand.
63．How does the partnership between AI Copilot and Suno benefit users
A．It helps them read web pages.
B．It improves their musical abilities.
C．It enables them to create unique songs.
D．It allows them to download popular songs.
64．What is the current state of AI PC’s capabilities according to the last paragraph
A．More advanced than other types of AI.
B．Fully meeting people’s needs.
C．Highly advanced and personalized.
D．Still under development and requiring testing.
65．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A．AI will replace the PC． B．AI comes to the rescue.
C．PC faces challenges. D．AI PC products has been launched.
D
We grow up with a mixed message: making mistakes is a necessary learning tool, but we should avoid them. And that’s a real shame. Because when we tell kids that learning is all about the results, we teach them that mistakes are something to be feared and avoided. We stifle（压制）their interest in experimenting because experimenting means you’re going to make a mess and fail. And that’s too big a risk.
Here’s a fascinating experiment that shows how children absorb what we say about effort vs. results. One of professor Carol Dweck’s experiments asked 400 5th graders in New York City schools to take an easy short test, on which almost all performed well. Half the children were praised for “being really smart”. The other half were complimented for “having worked really hard”. Then the students were asked to take a second test and given the option of either choosing one that was pretty simple and that they would do well on, or one that was more challenging, but on which they might make mistakes. Of those students praised for effort, 90 percent chose the harder test. Of those praised for being smart, the majority chose the easy test. Professor Dweck told me: “One thing I’ve learned is that kids are exquisitely（敏锐地）familiar to the real message, and the real message is ‘Be smart’. It’s not’ We love it when you struggle or when you learn and make mistakes.’”
One way we can fix this is by understanding the concepts of “fixed mindsets” and “growth mindsets”. Those with fixed mindsets believe either we’re good at something—whether it’s math or music or baseball—or we’re not. When we have this fixed mindset, mistakes serve no purpose but to highlight failure. Those with growth mindsets are much more likely to be able to accept mistakes because they know that they’re part of learning. And it’s been shown that when kids are taught about growth mindsets, their motivation to learn improves.
66．Why do children often avoid experimenting
A．They consider the process time-consuming.
B．They are not interested in hands-on activities.
C．They are afraid of making mistakes and failing.
D．They prefer easy tasks over challenging ones.
67．Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2
A．The children tested were totally successful.
B．The students were involved in tests twice.
C．The students were given the same choice.
D．The children were not very sensitive to being smart.
68．What lesson can we learn from professor Carol Dweck’s experiment
A．Praise promotes children’s self-confidence.
B．Keep children away from struggle and mistakes.
C．Praise children for their devotion instead of their talent.
D．Parents should give their children timely encouragement.
69．Where is the text most probably taken from
A．A guidebook to parenting.
B．A report on the art of praise.
C．A review of modern teaching.
D．An introduction to a psychology book.
70．What is the best title for the passage
A．Is Making Mistakes a Challenging Process
B．Should Kids Be Praised for Efforts or Results
C．Is Making Mistakes a Bad Thing Among Kids
D．Should Kids Have Fixed Mindsets or Growth Mindsets

A woman in Lakewood, Washington, wanted to find a boy who left $5and a heartbreaking apology note on her doorstep. On Friday, Marie found this note from “Jake”:
“I am sorry that I took your butterfly wind chimes（风铃）without your permission. My mom died and she liked butterflies so I took them to put by our window. Now I feel terrible for my past behavior. I am sorry. This is the only money I have. Please do not be mad at me.”
Mari e told KCPQ she was not mad and wanted to find Jake to return his $5. “I wanted to cry because apparently he felt bad for what he had done. And I think he might be scared,” she told the station. Marie said she knows stealing is immoral, but she is sympathetic to the child. “I’m not agreeing with the stealing act but he did try to make up for what he had done. I lost my mom at a young age so I really make sense of his feeling and know how hard it is,” she said.
Mari e wanted to find Jake, not to punish him, but to return his money for his honesty. Marie moved to the neighborhood two months ago and didn’t know many people there, which made tracking down Jake difficult.
In order to find the boy, she took to Facebook. Almost a week later, her Facebook post got much attention from social media, but she still didn’t hear from the boy. Marie said she wanted Jake to know that she had no intention of embarrassing or scaring him by asking him to reveal himself. She also said she was willing to help Jake with his schooling if she could find him.
