13-year-old Ava Dorsey is the founder of Ava’s Pet Palace, a business that sells organic dog and cat treats.“I actually had the idea when I was six with a picture I drew of a palace,”she says.It was a detailed design for dogs and cats and she had serious plans to build it one day.
Unlike most dog treats that you find in stores, dog treats sold by Ava’s Pet Palace are 100% organic, and are non-GMO(非转基因). Ava has set a goal for herself with these dog treats, and she wants every treat to be healthy, tasty, and top-quality. Seriously, some of her treats sound delicious enough for people to eat! “All of my bags now have the USDA organic stamp, and we're very excited to have gotten it because it's something I've wanted for a long time,”she says.“A lot of stores like to see organic products because customers like it, so that was really exciting.”
Ava says the biggest challenge of being a kid in business is when people don't take her seriously, but undoubtedly Ava has proved that her doubters are wrong! When asked how she defines(定义) success, Ava says,“When you hit a bump in the road, you shouldn't give up and you keep trying.”She learned that from her mom, who sounds like a smart lady! Some more things Ava has learned from her years in business: Hard work eventually pays off and there is nothing wrong with asking for help.
As far as the future of the pet treats industry goes, Ava is optimistic——but she’d also like to be an inspiration for change.“There’s not much diversity(多样性) right now, so that’s something I would love to see in the future,”says Ava.“I would also love to see more kids in this industry.There aren't many other teenagers around, and I hope that I can be an inspiration to others who hope to lead the pet industry.”

A new song by the famous band The Beatles has been released despite half of the band members no longer being alive, thanks to the help of AI.
The Beatles was a legendary British rock band that remained second to Elvis Presley from the 1960s. It was made up of four musicians—John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. The new song, titled Now and Then, is unique because it combined the singing of McCartney and Starr with Lennon, who passed away in 1980, and the guitar skills of Harrison, who passed away in 2001.
The song was initially written and partly recorded by Lennon in the late 1970s and further developed by band mates years later but as technology then was limited, they didn’t release it due to the sound quality not being satisfying.
Peter Jackson, most famous for directing The Lord of the Rings, directed the music video for Now and Then and it can be watched now online. It was thanks to new AI audio restoration (音频修复) technology that Peter Jackson allowed the four band members to “come together” one last time.
Since its release last week, the song has been well received in the UK. Beatles fans around the world favoured this historic musical event.
“Now and Then is an absolutely heart-warming piece of work,”posted Liam Gallagher, whose hits were affected by The Beatles’ musical style.
“Of course, there are those who are not totally interested in the song. Now and Then is not terrible. But honestly, it’s kind of boring.” Geoff Edgers wrote in The Washington Post.
The Times in the UK said the song showed AI being used to its best advantage.
28. Why was the song “Now and Then” not released at first
A. The song was not completed.
B. The sound quality was not good enough.
C. The band members did not like the song.
D. The song was let out before its official release.
29. How did Peter Jackson contribute to the song
A. He wrote and recorded the song.
B. He played the guitar on the recording
C. He invented new audio restoration technology.
D. He restored the band members’ sound using AI.
30. What is the attitude of The Times towards the release of Now and Then
A. Supportive. B. Curious. C. Unfavourable. D. Unclear.
31. What is the best title of the text
A. The Beatles Remains Second to Elvis Presley
B. Beatles Fans Welcome the New Song of The Beatles
C.The Beatles Released a New Song with the Help of AI
D. Peter Jackson Directed the Music Video for The Beatles
D
Even with the Olympic Games now over, echoes of the past days still remained. The National Police would show up around the same time, with soldiers pacing outside the venue entrances. Cafes did a roaring trade, catering to a steady stream of handball and volleyball fans, dressed in national colors, covered in flags, singing songs. After the Games, a different atmosphere settles in. This is Monday, Day +1 of the Games, the morning after the closing ceremony. The loudspeaker has fallen silent. The 7 am police officer procession is now a workers’ lorry, with workers in bright orange vests tidying away barriers. The roadblocks are gone. The cable car stop has reopened.
Is this normal life in south-west Paris The Games decoration still covers every public space, the flags wave, but the Olympic visitors have disappeared. Forget 28 Days Later — this is 28 Hours Later, and I am an Olympic zombie. During the Games, Paris welcomed 2.4 million visitors, 73% of them French, with half coming just for the day. The remaining 27% were international visitors, up 14% from last year. It was these day-trippers and foreign fans who made Paris so lively and colorful.
Before packing for my Tuesday Eurostar, I stopped by a regular local haunt. Two days before the opening ceremony, I had asked the chef-owner of 750g La Table about the Games. His response was clear: “The Olympic Games It’s a disaster. My takings are down 35%. Businesses are closing. Tourists don’t visit.” Today, I ask him what he thinks now that the show is over. “Ah, I was wrong!” he says, smiling. “I was wrong. It was amazing, for the city and for my business. Now, as you see, we’re not busy. Sit wherever you like. All we do now is rest and clean.” We shake hands, and I ask him about the future. “Now I’m going to take a nap,” he says, pretending to sleep and laughing before heading to the back room for a nap. And with that, the spirit of the Games fades, leaving Paris to rest.
32. What is the atmosphere in Paris after the Games are over
A.Quiet and relaxed. B. Exciting and cheerful.
C. Empty and lifeless. D. Bustling and busy.
33. How did the number of visitors change in Paris during the Games
A. Visitor numbers were unchanged.
B. Visitor numbers significantly dropped.
C. Visitor numbers saw a relative increase.
D. Visitor numbers remained fairly constant.
34. What does the author’s conversation with the chef-owner imply
A. The chef-owner saw no impact on his business.
B.The chef-owner regretted participating in the Games.
C. The chef-owner’s takings are down during the Games.
D.The chef-owner feared losses initially but later saw benefits.
35. What’s the best title of this passage
A. The Olympic Zombie in Paris
B.Olympic business boom in Paris
C. From Olympic Glory to Parisian Calm
D. The Disappearance of Olympic Visitors

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。
When Sophie left the grocery, it suddenly started raining a heavy downpour, in fact. She had neither her jacket nor her umbrella.
Sophie held her paper bag over her head and made a rush. The rain hit her face as she ran up the street. As she stood waiting for the lights to change, Sophie glanced down to see a child's toy lying on the sidewalk. She looked around, wondering who might have dropped it, but the street was deserted. What should she do She couldn't just leave it there. Sophie bent and picked up the toy--- a grey elephant with a dirty label, and very wet. As the light went green, she had to make a quick decision. She held the elephant tightly and hurried on her way to her office.
"Why did you bring it with you Gemma asked while Sophie poured a coffee." When they realize they've lost it, they'll probably return to the place. You should have displayed it where you found it. Somewhere noticeable."
That made sense. "It was getting completely wet, " Sophie protested, "It might have been destroyed."
"It might as well be, if you can't reunite it with its owner, Gemma replied. "Some toddler (学步儿童)is going to have trouble getting to sleep tonight without their elephant."
Oh, dear! Sophie had tried to do a good thing, but acting on impulse(冲动) might not have been the best choice. She decided to go back at lunch ---find somewhere to set it up high. For the rest of the morning she placed the elephant on the radiator (暖气片) by her desk. At least it would be a bit drier by the time she took it back. But at lunch time, another heavy shower(阵雨) arrived. She picked up the toy elephant and gave its large ears a rub.

Dear Chris,
Sorry to learn about your sleepiness and lack of enthusiasm, which likely result from your preference for online games, so there is a good chance that it is your staying up late and playing video games that have been keeping you in low spirits. Here I have some advice for you.
Saying no to online games always comes first, since indulging in games has depressed you and made it impossible for you to focus on anything. It is also preferable to set an ambitious goal and exert yourself to the utmost to pursue your dream. Plus, why not participate in more activities, which can divert your interest in the game and refresh your mind alike.
I hope my advice will benefit you.
Yours LiHua
【续写】One possible version:
"What am I going to do with you she asked, staring at the toy. Suddenly, she came up with a plan. She decided to take a photo of the toy and post it on social media, hoping that someone would recognize it and help connect her with the owner. Sophie snapped a picture of the toy elephant, wrote a caption explaining the situation, and shared it on various local community groups and lost-and-found pages. Although Sophie received numerous messages and calls from different people, none of them turned out to be the right match. However, she remained hopeful and continued her search. Finally, one afternoon, Sophie received a call from a man.
The man on the phone, who said his name was Arthur, sounded excited. He explained that the toy was his child's cherished one and his description exactly matched that day's situation. Sophie arranged a meeting with the family, and upon seeing the joyous reunion between the child and her toy, she knew that her impulsive decision had ultimately led to a happy ending. From that day forward, Sophie learned the importance of thinking through her actions before acting on impulse. She also realized the power of community and social media in helping to solve problems and bring people together.缺考填涂标记
