“Well, Amy, how are you getting on with your napkin (手帕) ” cried Lizzy, whose swift fingers seemed to fly over her work. “Not very fast,” replied quiet little Amy, without raising her eyes. “I have almost finished one side.” “One side!” said Lizzy, with a laugh which was neither pleasant nor kind. “Why We both began hemming (缝褶边) our napkins at the same time and I’m now at the fourth side of mine!”
“I know that I am slow,” sighed Amy. “You may well say that!” cried Lizzy. “But I’ll try to be steady and to do my best,” said the little girl, as she threaded her tiny needle and went on with her work. “As I sew so fast,” cried Lizzy. “I am sure to have finished my napkin long before the bell rings for dinner. I’ll just run for a minute to the garden to see if the roses are out.” Tossing down her work on a chair, Lizzy flew off.
Amy longed for the fresh air and the flowers, but her work must first be done. Steadily she laid down her broad hem and had finished the second side of her napkin before her sister came back. “Ah, you plodding little thing!” cried Lizzy. “You will never get up to me. I’ll have time to go to my room and put my new picture on the wall.” Off went gay little Lizzy. Amy went on with her work. Before her sister again entered the room, the third side of her napkin was hemmed.
“Had you not better finish your sewing ” said Amy. “It must be near dinner-time now.” “Oh! I can finish it in two minutes. Only I want to look at that story, which Tom told us was so amusing.”“But if you are late ” “No fear of that!” cried Lizzy. “No one is so likely to be late as a slow little creature like you!”
Poor Amy made no reply. Stitch after stitch, stitch after stitch, quietly she worked on. Lizzy was soon so deep in her story that she forgot all about her work, till startled by the sound of the bell. “Can it be dinner-time!” she cried. “Oh dear, and my napkin is not hemmed! And yours ” Lizzy stared at Amy. “It is just finished,” said Amy, as she quietly folded it up. “This just like ‘The Hare and the Tortoise’.” thought Lizzy, who, though impolite and vain (自负的), had enough of sense to take a lesson.
Quickness may have the start, but the quiet, steady worker does most in the end.
24. Why did Lizzy cry at Amy at the beginning of the story
A. To arouse Amy’s interest in her.
B. To warn Amy of the coming danger.
C. To express her regret about not following Amy.
D. To show her dissatisfaction with Amy.
25. What does the underlined phrase “tossing down” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Taking up. B. Picking out. C. Laying aside. D. Picking up.

A. To stress the challenge of the task.
B. To emphasize the importance of the task.
C. To show the simplicity of the task.
D. To present the flexibility of the task.

Bzzz. Oh no — a mosquito. Have you ever wondered how these small insects are so good at finding you A new study has identified one way they home in on us. It’s visual. Mosquitoes just like the look of our skin.
Claire Rusch and her colleagues have been working to uncover ways to avoid mosquito bites. And this biologist knows plenty about that. After all, while studying mosquitoes, “you get bitten a lot,” she notes. “It’s not easy to work with an animal that feeds on you.” A bite from a disease-carrying mosquito can be more than annoying, though. Rusch and her team just discovered something that could help drive these mosquitoes away. The Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that Rusch studies are attracted to a few colors, especially ones with long wavelengths of light. We see these colors — the same wavelengths given off by human skin — as red.
That finding could lead to the design of better traps to keep mosquitoes away from people. Anyone stuck in a room with a mosquito knows they are very good at finding you. These insects can detect the carbon dioxide or CO2 we breathe out. They also are attracted to sweat, body warmth and contrasting colors. But until now scientists didn’t know that mosquitoes could detect specific colors. “I found their research results surprising and very interesting,” says Trevor Sorrells, a mosquito neuroscientist.
The new research shows mosquitoes can see red light and tell that it is different from other colors. “This is important,” he notes, “because all human skin tones (肤色) reflect red light better than other colors. So mosquitoes can use it to locate human skin.” Next time you’re out where mosquitoes might be present, don’t forget the bug spray (蚊虫喷雾剂). And that red shirt You might want to leave it at home.
28. How do mosquitoes locate their potential victims
A. By smelling. B. By seeing.
C. By tasting. D. By touching.
29. According to Paragraph 2, it can be inferred that ________.
A. a bite from a mosquito can be deadly
B. Rusch and her team are working to find how mosquitoes bite
C. wavelengths given off by human skin are long ones
D. the studied mosquitoes favor colors of short wavelengths light
30. What does the new research tell us
A. We can get rid of mosquitoes by contrasting colors.
B. Sweat and body temperature appeal to mosquitoes.
C. The carbon dioxide we breathe out drives mosquitoes away.
D. A certain color can be noticed by mosquitoes.
31. What is the text
A. A biography. B. A book review.
C. A science report. D. A short story.
D
On 26 February 2024, China Media Group(CMG)aired the country’s first animated series produced with the help of generative artificial intelligence(AI)models. Titled Qianqiu Shisong, the series includes multiple seven-minute episodes and features animated retellings of some of the most famous classic Chinese poems and their backstories. Its contents are drawn from more than 200 time-honored Chinese poems that are found in primary, secondary and higher education textbooks.
The show was produced using CMG Media GPT, an AI model co-developed by CMG and Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory(SAIL). According to the laboratory, AI technology was used in every stage of Qianqiu Shisong’s production process, from art design to video generation and post-production.
CMG Media GPT was trained by being fed with large amounts of data from CMG’s previous poem-relevant programs, enabling it to create images and scenes that represent the style of traditional Chinese ink-wash paintings and feature historically accurate architectural designs and clothing details.
CMG Media GPT has significantly cut down on the time and costs of animation production. “AI will not replace humans but will increase humans’ working efficiency. For example, our team used to make one episode each month, but now we can make three episodes each month with the assistance of AI,” says the director of Qianqiu Shisong.
Following the putonghua version, an English-dubbed(英文配音的)version of the series titled Poems of Timeless Acclaim was aired online in March. The series will also be made available in other languages. On Chinese social media, some netizens comment that Qianqiu Shisong is a valuable opportunity to practice China’s AI technology. Others say that AI-generated animation is a smart approach to popularizing Chinese culture as the advanced technology can inject new life into ancient poetry.
32. What can we learn about Qianqiu Shisong from Paragraph1
A It’s the first animated series throughout the world.
B. It consists of some of well-known classic poems in China.
C. Its contents are chosen from Western poetry classics.
D. It’s produced by artificial intelligent models alone.
33. What was the function of CMG Media GPT in producing the series
A. It was used to process animation production.
B. It was used to train netizens to appreciate poems.
C. It was used to analyze contemporary poems.
D. It was used to create images and scenes of modern China.
34. What does CMG Media GPT contribute to
A. Arousing public interest in poems greatly.
B. Adding the time to produce to a larger degree.
C. Taking the place of human beings completely.
D. Reducing the cost of producing dramatically.
35. Which of the following best describes Chinese netizens’ attitudes towards QianQiu Shi-Song
A. Indifferent B. Neutral C. Approving D. Doubtful

I still remember the first time my father and I went to the town for a circus performance. When I was 13, word came that a well-known circus would perform in the town. I jumped at the news and my father promised to take me to it. The big day finally came, and I was pleased to see my father put a brand new 20-dollar bill in his pocket carefully. The ticket counter was crowded with excited children and parents. My father held my hand tightly. As we were standing in line to wait for our turn, the family of six in front of us, a lovely couple and four kids, attracted me.
The four kids were all probably under the age of twelve. Even as a child, I could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean and tidy. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two by two behind their parents, and holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice. From their thrilled expressions, I knew they had never been to the circus before just like me. It promised to be the highlight of our young lives. I was looking forward to enjoying the performance as eagerly as the four lovely kids. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proudly.
The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy four children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
“Eight dollars each. Altogether 48 dollars, please,” said the ticket lady in a mild voice.
“Pardon Is there any difference in adults and children ” the puzzled father leaned a little closer and asked.
“No, sir. Eight dollars each,” the lady quoted the price again.
Hearing this, the father dropped his head, speechless for a while. How was he supposed to turn around and tell his four children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus
As a matter of fact, we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understood how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them. I just looked up at my dad.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
Without saying a word, my dad released my hand, pulled out the $20 bill in his pocket and dropped it on the ground.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
That day I missed the circus performance and went back home with my dad.
