We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age.
Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.
What’s up with that He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.
Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.
There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.
Anyway, grandpa is now an Internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.
What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2
Provided shelter for me. B. Became very clear to me.
C.Took the pressure off me. D. Worked quite well on me.
Why did the kid poke the storybook
He took it for a tablet computer. B. He disliked the colorful pictures.
C. He was angry with his grandpa. D. He wanted to read it by himself.
What does the author think of himself
Socially ambitious. B. Physically attractive.
C. Financially independent. D. Digitally competent.
What can we learn about the author as a journalist
He lacks experience in his job. B. He seldom appears on television.
C. He manages a video department. D. He often interviews internet stars.
C
Abstract painter Harold Cohen had represented Britain at important festivals with his oil paintings and was seeking a new challenge by the end of 1960s. “Maybe there are more interesting things going on outside my studio than inside it,” he thought. Cohen turned from the canvas to the screen, using computers to find new ways of creating art. In the late 1960s, he created a program that he named Aaron. It was the first artificial intelligence software in the world of fine art, and Cohen first presented Aaron in 1974 at the University of California.
Now, with AI dominating the headlines, a new exhibition at New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art, “Harold Cohen: Aaron,” running through June 2024, draws attention to Cohen’s pioneering work. The Whitney is offering something deeper than most previous Aaron exhibits: a real-time experience, in which visitors can watch the software produce art.
Cohen seeded Aaron with all sorts of knowledge: about basic objects, physics, and fundamental techniques of drawing. Aaron uses this knowledge to follow instructions, complete tasks, and make decisions like human beings — a very different approach from today’s generative AI art programs, which don't draw from scratch ( 从零开始) but rather rely on databases of images. Versions of Aaron still generate output, but anything done after Cohen’s death in 2016 is not considered genuine.
The Whitney is showcasing two versions of Cohen’s software, along with the art that each produced before Cohen died. The 2001 version, Aaron KCAT, generates images of figures and plants and projects them onto a wall more than ten feet high, while the 2007 version produces jungle-like scenes. The software will also create art physically, on paper, for the first time since the 1990s. “It is absolutely thrilling,” said Christiane Paul, the museum’s director of digital art, “to have one of those remarkable treasures of digital art in the collection.”
What made Aaron created
Harold’s curiosity. B. The museum’s donation.
C.Visitors’ expectation. D. The university’s support.
What can visitors do in the “Harold Cohen: Aaron” exhibition
See the original 1960s version of Aaron. B. Generate images with the help of Aaron.
C. Learn about the physical rules in art. D. Observe Aaron creating art on the spot.
What makes Aaron different from modern AI art programs
Its ability to assign tasks. B. Its use of modern techniques.
C. Its capability to make choices. D. Its dependence on existing database.
What is the text mainly about
The masterpieces of digital art. B. A new show of the art world’s first AI.
C. The latest technologies in the Whitney. D. Harold Cohen’s impact on generative AI.
D
Endangered polar bears are breeding with grizzly bears, creating “pizzly” bears, which is being driven by climate change, scientists say.
As the world warms and Arctic sea ice thins, hungry polar bears are being forced ever further south, where they meet grizzlies, whose ranges are expanding northwards. And with that growing contact between the two come increasing hybrids (杂交种), “pizzly” bears.
With features that could give the hybrids an advantage in warming northern habitats, some scientists guess that they could be here to stay. “Usually, the hybrids, ‘pizzly’ bears aren’t better suited to their environments than their parents, but these hybrids are able to search for a wider range of food sources,” Larisa DeSantis, an associate professor of biological sciences at Vanderbilt University, told Live Science.
The rise of “pizzly” bears appears with polar bears’ decrease: their number may go down by more than 30% in the next 30 years. This sudden fall is related partly to “pizzly” bears taking up polar bears’ ranges, but also to polar bears’ highly specialized diets.
“Polar bears mainly ate soft foods even during the Medieval Warm Period, a previous period of rapid warming,” DeSantis said, referring to fat meals such as seals. “Although all of these hungry polar bears are trying to find other food sources, like seabird eggs, it could be a tipping point for their survival.” Actually, the calories they gain from these sources do not balance out ( 抵 消 ) those they burn from searching for them. This could result in a habitat ready for the hybrids to move in and take over, leading to a loss in biodiversity if polar bears are replaced.
“We’re having great impacts with climate change on species,” DeSantis said. “The polar bear is telling us how bad things are. In some sense, ‘pizzly’ bears could be a sad but necessary compromise (妥协) given current warming trends.”
Why do polar bears move further south
To contact grizzlies. B. To create hybrids.
C. To deal with hunger. D. To expand area.
What makes “pizzly” bears adapt to natural surroundings better than their parents
More food choices. B. Wider habitats.
C. Climate preference. D. Improved breeding ability.
What does the underlined phrase “a tipping point”in paragraph 5 refer to
A rare chance. B. A constant change.
C. A positive factor. D. A critical stage.
What’s the main idea of the text
“Pizzly” bears have replaced polar bears for global warming.
“Pizzly” bears are on the rise because of global warming.
Polar bears have already adapted to climate change.
Polar bears are changing diets for climate change.

We’ve all been there—you’ve sent a message and it’s marked “read”, but you haven’t heard anything back. What’s the deal While being left on read (已读不回) can be confusing, it’s also pretty common. 36 Here are a few tips.
Expect the best. Remind yourself that the person is probably just busy. Ask yourself if you actually know their schedule. There could be some time commitments you aren’t aware of. Here are a few other reasons for a delayed response. 37 They put their phone away to focus on work or school. They accidentally forgot to reply. Maybe they thought about what they wanted to say but didn’t actually text it.
Resist the temptation (诱惑) to double-text. 38 If you send a lot of follow-up texts, it’ll be hard for them to keep up and they might get stressed. Leave them with just one text to catch up on—the other person will probably appreciate your patience.
Read over your previous messages. See if there are any confusing texts that you need to clarify. It’s okay if you review your message again and notice that it might have been a little unclear—it happens! 39
40 Keep it out of sight and get some peace of mind. Don’t let it upset or confuse you. If you get your mind off any notifications, you’ll be able to brainstorm new ways to spend your time.
Put your phone away.
Fix your attention closely on text responses.
Give them a little space so they have a chance to reply.
They want to give you a longer response but can’t right now.
Ask yourself why being left on “read” frustrates or confuses you.
You can keep the situation from bothering you until you hear back.
You might feel relieved when you find something that is easy to misread.

When Jackie came to his first piano lesson in his mother’s car, he was already 11 years old. I preferred students begin at an earlier age, but owing to his insistence(坚持), I took him as a student. As much as Jackie tried, he lacked the sense of tone and basic rhythm ( 节 奏 ). At the end of each lesson, he’d say, “My mom’s going to hear me play someday.” But it seemed hopeless. I only knew his mother from a distance as she waited in her aged car, but never stepped in.
Then one day Jackie stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but assumed, because of his lack of ability, that he had decided to quit. I also was glad that he stopped coming — he was a bad advertisement for my teaching!
Several weeks later I mailed to the students’ homes a letter on the upcoming concert. Surprisingly, Jackie received and asked me if he could be in the concert. I told him that the concert was not for dropouts, but for current pupils. He said that his mom had been sick and unable to take him to piano lessons but he was still practicing. I didn’t know what led me to agree eventually.
The night for the concert came. The high school gymnastics was packed with parents and friends. I put up Jackie last in the program. I thought that any damage he would do would come at the end of the program and the negative effect would reduce to the minimum (最小值).
The concert went off smoothly. Then Jackie came up on stage. His clothes were wrinkled (皱巴巴的) and his hair looked messy ( 凌 乱 的 ). “Why didn’t his mother at least make him comb his hair for this special night ” I thought.
注意：1.续写词数应为 150 词左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Unexpectedly, Jackie chose Mozart’s Concerto 21 in C Major.
I held Jackie firmly in great joy, asking “How did you do it ”

One possible version:
Unexpectedly, Jackie chose Mozart’s Concerto 21 in C Major. Jackie pulled out the piano bench and began his performance. In fact, I was not fully prepared for what I heard next. His fingers were dancing on keys, which made me extremely shocked. Never had I heard Mozart played so well by people of his age. After six and a half minutes, he ended up very well. Everyone at present was wild with great excitement and was on their feet,
breaking into loud applause. After the performance, he stepped off the stage.
I held Jackie firmly in great joy, asking “How did you do it ” “Well…remember I told you my mom was sick ” He explained, with tears rolling in her eyes, “In the past few months, she has always accompanied and encouraged me. Actually she had cancer, with little chance to survive. Today, I didn’t let her down.” After hearing his word, tears were welling up in my eyes. And at that moment, I realized it was he that taught me the true meaning of perseverance and love.

细节理解题。根据第二段“As the world warms and Arctic sea ice thins, hungry polar bears are being forced ever further south, where they meet grizzlies, whose ranges are expanding northwards.(随着全球变暖和北极海冰变薄，饥饿的北极熊被迫向南迁徙，在那里它们遇到了活动范围向北扩展的灰熊)”可知，北极熊向南迁移是为了解决饥饿问题。故选 C。
细节理解题。根据第三段“Usually, the hybrids, ‘pizzly’ bears aren’t better suited to their environments than their parents, but these hybrids are able to search for a wider range of food sources(通常情况下，杂交的‘pizzly’ 熊并不比它们的父母更适合它们的环境，但这些杂交熊能够寻找更广泛的食物来源)”可知，更多的食物选择让“pizzly”熊比它们的父母更能适应自然环境。故选 A。
词义猜测题。结合上下文语境我们可知，前文通过表达转折的词语“although”表达了即使北极熊在尽力寻找可以替代的食物，它们仍旧不一定能够顺利存活这一现实。故“tipping point”表示“临界点、转折点” 之意，也即如果在这一节点失败，它们将很难生存。故答案为 D。
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Endangered polar bears are breeding with grizzly bears, creating “pizzly” bears,
which is being driven by climate change, scientists say.(科学家说，濒危的北极熊正在与灰熊繁殖，创造出“pizzly”熊，这是由气候变化驱动的)”和倒数第二段“This could result in a habitat ready for the hybrids to move in and take over, leading to a loss in biodiversity if polar bears are replaced.(这可能会导致栖息地准备好让杂交物种进入并接管，如果北极熊被取代，将导致生物多样性的丧失)”以及文章大意，可知由于全球变暖， “pizzly”熊的数量正在上升。故选 B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当别人阅读你的信息后，不回复你时，要学会心平气和的面 对，不要让社交软件影响到你的生活。
根据后文“Here are a few tips.(这里有一些建议)”以及前文“it’s also pretty common.(这种情况很常见）” 可知，空处应该是承上启下说明可以应用这些建议避免被影响，所以 F 项“You can keep the situation from bothering you until you hear back.(你可以避免这种情况困扰你)”符合文意。故选 F 项。
根据上文“Here are a few other reasons for a delayed response.(以下是延迟响应的其他一些原因。)”以及下 文 “They put their phone away to focus on work or school. They accidentally forgot to reply. Maybe they thought about what they wanted to say but didn’t actually text it. (他们把手机收起来，专注于工作或学习。他们不小心忘了回复。也许他们想到了他们想说什么，但实际上并没有发短信。)”可知，空处是延迟响应的可能原因，与 D 项“They want to give you a longer response but can’t right now. (他们想给你更长的回复，但现在不能)”上下文一致，符合文意。故选 D 项。
根据前文“Resist the temptation to double- text.(不要信息轰炸对方)”以及后文“If you send a lot of follow- up texts, it’ll be hard for them to keep up and they might get stressed. Leave them with just one text to catch up on—the other person will probably appreciate your patience.(如果你发了很多后续短信，他们很难跟上，他们可能会感到压力。只给他们留一条信息，让他们跟上进度——对方可能会感激你的耐心)”可知，本段讲述不要一直给对方发信息，要给对方一些时间，让他们跟上你的信息，所以 C 项“Give them a little space so they have a chance to reply.(给他们一点空间，让他们有机会回答)”符合文意。故选 C 项。
根据段首句“Read over your previous messages. (阅读你之前的信息)”，及上文“See if there are any confusing texts that you need to clarify. It’s okay if you review your message again and notice that it might have been a little unclear—it happens! (看看是否有什么令人困惑的文本需要澄清。如果你再次查看你的信息，并注意到它可能有点不清楚，这是没有关系的——这种情况发生了!)可知，再次查看信息可能会发现一些被误读的东西，与 G 项“You might feel relieved when you find something that is easy to misread.(可能会感到宽慰，当你发现了一些容易被误读的东西)”上下文一致，符合文意。故选 G 项。
根据下句“Keep it out of sight and get some peace of mind.(把它放在你看不到的地方，让你的内心平静下来)”以及后文“Don’t let it upset or confuse you. If you get your mind off any notifications, you’ll be able to brainstorm new ways to spend your time.(不要让它困扰或迷惑你。如果你不去想任何通知，你就能头脑风暴出新的打发时间的方法)”可知，本段主题是把手机放到一边，眼不见，心不烦。与其纠结为什么会被“已读不回”，不如放下手机，做些更有意义的事。所以 A 项“Put your phone away.(把手机收起来)”起到概括作用，符合文意。故选 A 项。

M: Once again we’re holding our popular photography competition for children. It’s open to all children between 8 and 12 who have an interest in photography. We’re not looking for special technical skills—just the imagination to take a good picture. Last year, the topic for our competition was wildlife and we received many excellent photos. This year, we’d like your photos to be on the subject of the sea. This is the only requirement. It doesn’t matter whether your photo is in color or black and white. The size of the photos was limited to 17cm long and 12cm wide last year, but there’s no limit on that this year. A team of professional photographers will judge the photos and they’ll choose the four that they think show the most promise. The winner will receive a camera, while the second prize will be free photography lessons. Those in third and fourth place will receive a photography book. If you’re interested, we’d like you to post your photos to us here at Star Radio, 24 Woodstock Square, London. Your photos need to reach us by the 10th of August so you have a few weeks before the closing date. The results of the competition will be announced on this program on the 15th. There will be a chance to see all the photographs into the competition at an exhibition at the museum. This will start on the 20th of August and stay open until 27th.
