Elizabeth Keyton, originally from Georgia, the USA, married Arjun, a Malayali. She wanted to learn his mother tongue to strengthen their family bond. In the process, she created an Instagram page called “Elikutty” through which she now teaches Malayalam to thousands of people.
“I always loved hearing people speak different languages, but when my mother from Serbia spoke Serbian at home, my father showed no interest in learning it, leaving frequent misunderstanding and communicating problems. That’s when I decided that if I met someone from a different culture, I would try to learn his language, which would be good for us and our family,” says Elizabeth to The Better India.
“So when my relationship with Arjun started looking serious because of difficulties in communicating, I decided to learn Malayalam. However, I found that there weren't enough resources to learn the language. Most books available were outdated or made for children. A small amount of material was often too difficult for casual（非正式的）language learners like me,” says the 35-year-old. “Later, I struggled to find a teacher suited to my needs and some grammar resources online.”
As an English teacher, Elizabeth used her teaching skills to learn Malayalam. She wrote notes and made doodles（涂鸦）to learn the letters. “For me, the best way to learn is by explaining it to someone else, so I made an Instagram page in 2018 to share my notes and small drawings,” she says. Starting out with 1,000 followers in 2018, her Instagram page has over 70,000 followers today. She is pleased to make learning Malayalam fun and easy.
“I have seen what happens when languages are ignored in my own house. My brother doesn’t know Serbian, which means his family won’t. It’s important to know English as it is a global language and helps when you go abroad, but the same respect should be given to native languages. They are the true way to a person’s heart,” says Elizabeth.
24. Why did Elizabeth decide to learn Malayalam
A. To build a foundation for her career.
B. To improve her relationship with Arjun.
C. To better communicate with her mother.
D. To satisfy her interest in foreign languages.
25. What difficulty did Elizabeth meet during her learning
A. Rejection from her husband.
B. Failure to find a native partner.
C. Lack of suitable learning resources.
D. Inability to find a professional teacher.
26. What was Elizabeth’s Instagram page used to do at first
A. Collect learning tips.
B. Assist her in self-study.
C. Practice small drawings.
D. Teach others Malayalam.
27. What is Elizabeth’s opinion on language learning
A. Using social media as the primary tool.
B. Respecting our inner thinking at all times.
C. Always putting the family’s common language first.
D. Treating official languages and mother tongues equally.
C
In the summer of 2021, wildfires caused a disaster on an Italian island, burning over 69,000 acres of land and displacing thousands. The Montiferru region, badly affected by the fires, is testing out a new warning system for wildfires, developed by a German company called Dryad.
Due to climate change, the number of extreme wildfire events is expected to increase up to 14% by 2030. Apart from billions of dollars of damage they cause, the chemicals they produce are strong pollutants and in 2023, wildfires gave out a record 1.76 billion metric tons of carbon in the atmosphere—equal to more than double Germany’s yearly CO2 emissions.
Existing early warning systems are based on the visual detection of smoke, either through satellite imaging, cameras on the ground or human observers. “But these systems are too dilatory. In order to generate smoke that can be seen from a distance of, say, 10 to 20 miles, the fire has to be very big—you might already have half a football field on fire underneath. Then, if you add the time for firefighters to arrive at the scene, it may have become too big to be put out at all,” said Dryad’s co-founder and CEO, Carsten Brinkschulte.
Dryad aims to reduce the detection time of wildfires and catch them early. To do so, the company has designed a solar-powered sensor fitted with a gas detector. “It can detect hydrogen, carbon monoxide, etc. Think of it like an electronic nose that you attach to a tree,” says Brinkschulte. Once the sensor detects a fire, it sends out a signal which is then sent to the Internet by satellite and 4G. Finally, what the forest managers get is an alarm with the exact GPS location of the sensor that picked up the fire.
So far, Dryad has tested 300 sensors across Europe and plans to make 230,000 units next year. “Our goal is to set up 120 million of them by 2030, which would be able to save 3.9 million hectares of forest from burning and prevent 1.7 billion metric tons of CO, from reaching the atmosphere,” says Brinkschulte.
28. What do the facts mentioned in Paragraph 2 mainly show
A. The danger of wildfire pollutants.
B. The climate change over the years.
C. The environmental stress from wildfires.
D. The problem of CO2 emissions in Europe.
29. What does the underlined word “dilatory” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Slow. B. Distant. C. Wasteful. D. Expensive.
30. How does the new warning system operate
A. By putting out the fire directly in its early stages.
B. By smelling the fire and reporting its location.
C. By forecasting the weather to prevent the fire.
D. By going around the forest to check the fire.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The system has great possibilities for use.
B. Europe especially suffers from wildfires.
C. The system needs further improvement.
D. Climate change will deepen wildfires.
D
In just over a year, the field of generative（生成的）artificial intelligence has constantly seen extraordinary advancements. The recent introduction of OpenAI’s GPT-4 model has reduced the presence of false information, which marks a major step forward as generative AI is now better at creating images without errors and producing clear, understandable text.
Nowadays, the customization of Al for specific tasks is becoming increasingly popular, with significant support directed towards developing AI solutions for particular purposes, such as analyzing legal agreements and medical images. This emphasizes the growing employment of AI in specialized areas, increasing its influence beyond general tasks.
At first, it seemed that only large companies with significant computing power could tap into the advanced ability of AI. However, services like Hugging Face have popularized access to AI technologies, proving that even smaller models can live up to a high standard. This turning has widened the user base, allowing a wider range of individuals and organizations to take advantage of AI tools.
Despite these advancements, the potential dangers of AI cannot be ignored. Risks include misuse in creating misleading information as well as privacy concerns arising from the data that AI systems require for training. These concerns stress the need for constant caution and ethical（道德的）considerations to ensure that AI technologies are developed and used responsibly.
As AI continues to develop, its impact is set to redefine what is possible. However, the integration of AI into various industries must be approached with caution, considering the potential dangers alongside the benefits. The future of AI promises to add to processes and inspire new methodologies as long as we find proper approaches to avoid its risks in advance.
32. What is an advantage of OpenAI’s GPT-4
A. Its varied functions. B. Its greater accuracy.
C. Its faster processing speed. D. Its increased memory power.
33. What do the examples in Paragraph 2 intend to show about AI
A. The limited potential in image analysis.
B. The theoretical basis for task completion.
C. The practical application in professional fields.
D. The insufficient technique support for innovation.
34. What is a positive change in AI according to the text
A. Being available to more groups.
B. Being protective of user privacy.
C. Being focused on difficult AI models.
D. Being economical for industrial development:
35. What is probably the author’s attitude towards AI
A. Indifferent. B. Resistant. C. Supportive. D. Objective.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Robot bees, or mechanical bees, are machines designed to do the work of actual bees, like pollinating（给...授粉）plants, as well as monitoring the health of bee houses. 36 And as expected, many robot bee projects have been successful so far.
One of the advantages of robot bees is that they are more productive than real bees. Farmers using robot bees can yield about 20 to 40 percent more crops than if they use commercial honey bees. Meanwhile, these robots are good at collecting and analyzing critical crop data along the way. 37 In this sense, robot bees have the potential to achieve a big economic impact.
Robot bees can also act as wild pollinators in greenhouses, without requiring that the whole greenhouse be opened up to the actual wild. 38 These are closely monitored environments, so there is no need for pesticides（杀虫剂）, offering robot bees a promising prospect as they are more secure for food quality.
39 Unless they are given accurate commands to do it, robot bees likely won’t pollinate things like wildflowers the way bees do. As the whole food web is secured by having bees pollinate wildflowers, if you were to replace those bees, then the wildflower communities would start to break down, which would then impact other species like birds.
And yet, we may not have much of a choice. The global population is expected to grow by 25 percent to about 10 billion people by 2050. To meet the demand, food production will need to increase greatly. So will the number of honey bees, which are already facing their own unique challenges in the face of habitat loss, pesticide use, climate change. 40
A. There is still a long way for robot bees to go.
B. This enables growers to make better farming decisions.
C. We may need the help of robot bees to ensure our survival.
D. But the ways they are used are not environmentally friendly.
E. However, robot bees could affect the given area's biodiversity.
F. They are used to increase productivity in the agriculture industry.
G. That matters as greenhouses are becoming more popular than outdoor farms.

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。
I clearly remember the day I went to school with a big change—my very first pair of eye glasses. I was filled with excitement, eager to show them off to my classmates. I had chosen a pair of pink-framed glasses, thinking they would look fantastic on me. Little did I know that I would become the object of ridicule（嘲笑）.
The reason behind getting the glasses was my poor eyesight. My teacher had repeatedly criticized me for not completing my work accurately. Sitting at the back of the class, I couldn’t copy words and proper grammar from the blackboard because everything was too blurry（模糊的）for me to see. More often than not, my deskmate would read every phrase aloud to me so that I could write them down, like a parrot.
Wearing those glasses was like stepping into a 3D cinematic world: I could see everything clearly. However, on the day I wore my glasses to school, all the boys laughed and I could see them hiding their faces with hurtful smiles. Several girls kindly told me that my glasses looked good on me, but I knew they were all telling white lies. Nevertheless, I needed the glasses more than I wanted them.
A month passed, but my classmates still weren’t used to seeing me wear glasses. Insecurity led me to take them off during lunch break or after class. I admitted that I had started to hate my glasses, but little did I know that my decision to wear them would change the life of one of my friends.
On a Monday morning, my friend Jane came to me, looking at me with curiosity. When I asked what got her so interested, she pointed to my glasses and said she wanted to try them on. Without hesitation, I handed my glasses to her. As she put them on, her mouth dropped open in surprise.
注意：
续写的词数应为150左右；

应用文范文：
Last Sunday, I visited the newly-built “China Folk Culture” theme park in our city, a fascinating destination showcasing China’s rich heritage.
Covering 6,000 square meters, the park features various exhibits and performances, including traditional dances, clothes and handicrafts. There I had the pleasure of participating in the lion dance performance and trying my hand at bamboo weaving, through which I learned the intricate artistry behind those ancient practices. The cultural scene was so lively that I felt as if I had traveled through time.
To those keen on China’s splendid culture, I highly recommend this park. It offers a
wonderful journey through history and artistry.
读后续写范文：
Paragraph 1:
Puzzled, I asked her what was so surprising. Jane stared at me, her eyes widening, and explained that she had never realized how much she was missing until she put on my glasses. Everything became clearer, and she could see details she had never noticed before. It was as if a whole new world had opened up to her. I smiled because that was exactly how I felt not long ago. From that moment on, I began to appreciate my glasses in a whole new light.
Paragraph 2:
The following week, I was amazed to see that Jane was wearing a pair of glasses too. “My vision has never been perfect, but I’ve always been too embarrassed to admit it or to seek help.Your new glasses show me that I need to get my eyes checked and wear glasses too,” she said sincerely. I had no idea that I could make such a positive impact on my friend as she also gained the confidence to wear glasses. From this experience, I came to know how we look when we wear glasses is not important; what matters most is what we can see when we wear them.

M: Good evening. This is Chris reporting on this year’s art festival. This is the third year, and the time is slightly different. For the last couple of years, it’s been around the 10th to 17th January, but this year it will be held at the end of the month and it’s going to be the biggest we’ve ever seen. The program has the art concerts and also a large number of art exhibitions. But the festival is most famous for its great ballet performances. Today I’m going to tell you about two. But there are plenty of others in the program. The first is a classical one given by Russian dancers at $45. It’s very expensive anyway. It’s really for adult tastes. The second performance is by a modern Italian ballet. An interesting feature of it is that the performers are so young. The youngest is only 14, and it’s a good choice for the whole family. Well, that’s all I’ve time for today. But I’ll be back next week with more news of what’s worth saying.
