Wherever on the globe she may be，humanitarian Nyamayaro keeps close to her native Africa by carrying a yellow dress.“It reminds me of the bright，beautiful African sky I used to see in my small village，” she tells People.Nyamayaro’s life path wasn’t always so high profile.Growing up，she assumed she’d spend her life contributing to her village，and farming in the fields like the other women around her.But a chance encounter with a United Nations worker that came amid a severe drought altered that path forever.
“I will never forget that day，” Nyamayaro says.“A child dies from hunger every five seconds，and I almost became one of those children.A severe drought had hit our village when I turned 8 years old and suddenly，my paradise changed overnight and there was nothing to eat or drink.I thought I was going to die.It felt like there was no way of getting out of this.But then this incredible thing happened，an African，who was a United Nations humanitarian，found me，and gave me a bowl of porridge that saved my life.” The chance encounter provided more than just lifesaving nourishment—it opened the doors as to what could be possible for her，who immediately set her sights on working for the United Nations just like her savior.
“I thought I want to be like her，so that one day I can change the lives of others.I’m so grateful for that moment which was very devastating，because it gave my life so much meaning and purpose.The woman showed me what was possible.Sometimes one moment can really change your entire life.”
Just as the United Nations worker opened her eyes to opportunities previously unknown，Nyamayaro hopes girls from Africa can do the same for children growing up in villages just like her，as she knows her story is not unique.

C．To seek for chances to broaden her mind.
D．To set an example for the whole country.
26．What does Nyamayaro’s career story tell us
A．Fame is a great thirst of the young.
B．Success means getting person’s desires satisfied.
C．Ups and downs make one strong.

(2024·山东烟台高二下期末)
Famous adventurer Caroline Paul noticed females show less bravery than men and tend to shy away from adventure seeking outdoor activities even before puberty(青春期)．
But how come women seem to be much less gutsy than men Paul found the answer to be in the way they are raised.Parents more likely warn girls than boys about accidents and demand carefulness.When playing outdoors，they tend to discourage daughters from taking risks and assist them，as if they were too delicate to do it by themselves，while they encourage their sons’ initiative，letting them push their boundaries on their own.Fearful girls in plays as kids become less daring women in real life as adults.
Paul was different.Her mother made it a point to raise fearless daughters，supporting her thirst for physical challenges.Paul became one of San Francisco’s first 15 female firefighters and completed many seemingly impossible missions like walking up the Golden Gate Bridge and climbing Denali，the worst weathered mountain of Alaska.
Paul thought sharing her adventures and inspiration with young women would help them get better.The result，The Gutsy Girl：Escapades for Your Life of Epic Adventure，is a book for girls，in which she outlines the attempts，successes，and failures of her adventures.
Parents are warned that most of Paul’s adventures aren’t the kind they’d want their girls to try and she says so herself，over and over warning：safety first.What，however，parents should hope their girls try is to dream big and forget fear.
“The pressure girls face at puberty to be pretty and liked is enormous，” Paul said in the book，stressing that a familiarity with outdoor adventures works as a solution to that and makes for real life training.Plus，not all of Paul’s adventures end in success，which is great：daring means daring to fail，too—something females are particularly scared of.
Paul’s book will convince any female that she，too，is bound to have a life of heroic adventure—whether it’s in the woods or in the boardroom.
28．What does the underlined word “gutsy” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Energetic. B．Optimistic.
C．Flexible. D．Courageous.
29．What’s the root cause of girls growing into fearful women according to Paul
A．How they are brought up.
B．Their innocent nature.
C．How their parents behave.
D．Social discrimination against them.
30．Which of the following suggestions may Paul give to girls
A．Try to stay slim and pretty.
B．Sign up for a jungle exploration.
C．Put risk taking before security.
D．Act perfectly to keep failure at bay.
31．What’s the purpose of the text
A．To give tips on how to be ambitious.
B．To recommend a book intended for girls.
C．To assess Paul’s strengths and weaknesses.
D．To present a long standing cultural phenomenon.
D
To create is human.For the past 300,000 years，we’ve been unique in our ability to make art，cuisine，and societies to imagine and create something new where there was nothing before.Now we have company.While you’re reading this sentence，generative artificial intelligence programs are responding to emails，preparing tax returns，and providing health advice.
Artificial intelligence has already had a wide impact on our lives.AIs have been used to price medicine and houses，assemble(组装) cars，determine what ads we see on social media.But generative AI，which can create wholly novel content，is much newer.
Supporters believe this is just the beginning，that generative AI will change the way we work and engage with the world，unlock creativity and scientific discoveries，and allow human beings to achieve previously unimaginable goals.
This shift marks the most important technological breakthrough since social media.Generative AI tools have been adopted greedily in recent months by the public，thanks to programs like ChatGPT，which responds to virtually any question，and Dall E，which allows you to produce any image you dream up.In January，ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users.
This craze caught off guard many tech companies and has stimulated an intense race in Silicon Valley.In weeks，Microsoft and Google have shifted their entire corporate strategies to seize control of what they believe profitable.Microsoft is investing $10 billion in OpenAI，creator of ChatGPT and Dall E，and announced plans to integrate generative AI into its Office software and search engine.Google declared a “code red” corporate emergency in response to the success of ChatGPT and rushed its own search oriented chatbot to market.
But this gold rush could also prove disastrous.In a winner takes all battle for power，these companies risk repeating past mistakes，such as prioritizing growth over safety.While there are many potentially good aspects of these new technologies，even tools designed for good can have unforeseen and ruinous consequences.This is the story of how the gold rush began—and what history tells us about what could happen next.
32．Which of the following is the particular function of generative AI
A．Price goods.
B．Offer health suggestions.
C．Decide ads on social media.
D．Build vehicles.
33．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The functions of generative AI.
B．The programs of generative AI.
C．People’s interest in generative AI.
D．Companies’ investment in generative AI.
34．What does Microsoft plan to do
A．Combine generative AI with its existing products.
B．Invest in another generative AI start up.
C．Integrate its search engine into Office software.
D．Shift its focus to Office software.
35．Why does the author mention the gold rush in the last paragraph
A．To emphasise the importance of history.
B．To advocate the use of new technologies.
C．To put off the development of generative AI.
D．To warn of the potential danger of generative AI.

Several days ago，local News Channel reported a story between a mother and her son.The mother was a single woman who had been feeling a great deal of anger and bitterness due to her financial and psychological problems，causing her emotions to be unpredictable.Occasionally，she may not pay enough attention to her son or couldn’t respond to his requirements timely.Sometimes，she would even pour her negative emotions onto her child，which made him feel helpless.In fact，this child is a very outstanding and caring boy.
That day，the mother directed her anger towards her child again because of some small matter.Although the child did not resist，the mother still drove the child out of the house，slammed the door shut and left the child outside to reflect(反省)．
It was when the mother became calm and a little regretful that she opened her door and found her child missing.Anxious and scared，she searched everywhere，but the child was nowhere to be found.Her anxiety was gradually increasing.
The worried mother thought of seeking help from the police.Quickly，she went to the police station and explained the situation to the officer on duty.The police officer explained that，as a general rule，they couldn’t file a case for a missing child within the first 24 hours.However，they could provide assistance in other ways，such as posting the child’s photo on social media platforms to expand the search area.
After expressing gratitude for the police officer’s kindness，the mother continued searching for her child.Despite trying various methods，the mother still couldn’t find the child.Unexpectedly，the child was wandering in the streets.He felt lost and alone，not knowing where to go or what to do.He felt the tears forming in his eyes but refused to let them down.He didn’t want to show weakness in front of anyone，and it made him feel even more alone.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
Exhausted and hungry，the child kept walking aimlessly until he finally came across a bench along the street.__________________________________________________________________

第一节　参考范文
Hello，everyone，
Among all the foreign travellers，my favourite is Marco Polo，a well-known Italian traveller who travelled along the ancient Silk Road to China in the 13th century.
He lived in China for 17 years，during which time he visited many parts of China and was astounded to find how beautiful and mighty China was.He introduced Chinese culture and scientific inventions to other parts of the world.
In my opinion，Marco Polo was really a great traveller，whose mission was to accelerate the exchange of different cultures and spread the seeds of civilisation.
Thank you.
