When was the last time you used a telephone box I mean to make an actual phone call — not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more “young professional”.
As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.
As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.
For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed folk conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!
If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.
24.What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to
A. The play. B. The shared house.
C. The sofa. D. The telephone box.
25.Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006
A. To place an urgent call. B. To put up a notice.
C. To shelter from the rain. D. To hold an audition.
26.What do we know about the “mini community library”
A. It provides phone service for free.
B. Anyone can contribute to its collection.
C. It is popular among young readers.
D. Books must be returned within a month.
27.Why did the author start to use the “library”
A. He wanted to borrow some love stories.
B. He was encouraged by a close neighbour.
C. He found there were excellent free books.
D. He thought it was an ideal place for reading.

Like many fans, Jerad Castillo has a box full of tickets from the games and concerts he’s attended. There are some great memories — like a ticket for the U. S. Open Golf Tournament in 2019. And painful ones — like one from when his beloved Texas Rangers lost in Game 5 of the World Series in 2010.
But Castillo hasn’t added to his collection for a while. Tickets are digital now, but the 40-year-old Fort Worth resident still misses his treasured stubs (票根). “You have your digital ticket, but as soon as you enter the event and that day goes, you have nothing to look back on that, you know ” he says.
But there’s good news for fans like Castillo. Some sports teams and concert promoters are starting to sell physical tickets again. Not the ones from the past, with the bar codes and the tear-off stubs. These are much higher quality, usually with a nice photo or art design. Typically, they are issued to mark a big game or moment.
They are becoming a bit of a hit, according to Weldon, Williams & Lick (WW&L), a printing company that is working to produce the tickets. “There’s still always that connection to an actual ticket,” says Evan Gitomer, the company’s chief revenue officer. “It reminds you, and it takes you back, just like the sense of smell.”
WW&L has been producing tickets for over a century. Today, they’ve found a niche producing paper souvenir tickets for big events. These tickets usually sell for $15 to $20. They’re not included in the game’s actual admission price, so some fans resent having to pay more money later for a ticket to a game or event they already attended. But they are selling and the company’s income has more than doubled in the last couple of years.
“There’s probably some type of limit to where this can actually get to,” Gitomer says. But he adds that every time he thinks that, he bumps into a fan who appreciates the chance to own a physical reminder of a game or a concert from a favorite artist.
28.What differs the new physical tickets from the previous ones
A. They are made of plastic. B. They are sweet to smell.
C. They have photos on them. D. They can be obtained online.
29.What does the underlined word “resent” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Admit. B. Hate. C. Consider. D. Suggest.
30.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Some fans like souvenir tickets.
B. Gitomer has some fans of his own.
C. There is a limit to buying paper tickets.
D. Not all have the chance to get souvenir tickets.
31.What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Many People Miss Paper Tickets
B. Why Are Paper Tickets Disappearing
C. Digital Tickets Are Being Resisted
D. Who Are Fond of Physical Tickets
D
Let’s start with the end. If you know anything about the state of artificial intelligence, it’s that many of the people advancing the technology are seriously worried about the technology they’re advancing. Two statements stand out. The first followed the release of the company Open AI’s ChatGPT-4, calling for a six-month pause on any AI system going beyond GPT’s capabilities. The signatories (签署者) asked: “Should we develop nonhuman minds that might eventually outnumber, outsmart, and replace us ” The second statement, issued in May, 2023, signed by nearly all the major AI company CEOs and most of the top AI research scientists, was just 22 words long: “Mitigating (减轻) the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks like pandemics and nuclear war.”
So who’s excited for AI I am Maybe AI tools are helping the speechless speak and reducing energy consumption largely. There are brilliant people who say this is kid stuff. Soon everyone will have a customized knowledge assistant. The removal of loneliness is coming. Other equally brilliant people go straight to the other direction. Their imagination covers everything from an AI-manufactured extinction-level virus to societal destruction as jobs disappear and inequality becomes permanent.
OpenAI’s product launch made jaws drop. The tech is moving fast, but its impact will arrive in waves. We’ve already seen slight decrease in ChatGPT usage. That hardly means chatbots are doomed (注定失败的) or AI is a craze. Only that it’s early. It will take time to understand how people adapt to these new tools. That time should not be wasted. The processors will keep processing — and we need to get ready. Because however far-fetched the idea of an artificial general intelligence — meaning an autonomous system that one day goes beyond human abilities — it’s not impossible. We can also look out for the many ways AI tools can help us fix the hard problems humanity simply hasn’t been able to solve.
That’s the goal here, in this space, to examine AI in a slightly less anxiety-stricken way. The story so far has been told by geniuses with mixed motives and terrible emotional intelligence. It’s really no surprise that they’re also lousy storytéllers. Who starts with extinction
Let’s begin again, this time with creation. All of the software we’ve ever used was engineered to work backward from an outcome. Its creators wanted to help you find a webpage or play a game. Perhaps you’ve noticed that the major AI chatbots arrived with almost no user documentation or instructions. That’s what makes this moment unique. We humans have created a tool for potentially infinite tasks. Its imperfections are ours to solve — and its powers still ours to shape.
32. What can we learn from the two statements
A. The potential of AI is cause for concern.
B. AI advancement deserves a global priority.
C. The risk AI brings is impossible to control.
D. AI is a common interest of whoever develops it.
33. As for AI, which would the author agree with
A. It is unlikely to go beyond human abilities.
B. It may be applied to handle climate change.
C. It is misused by geniuses with bad motives.
D. It will gradually move towards imperfection.
34. What does the underlined word “lousy” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Awful. B. Gifted. C. Unexpected. D. Experienced.
35. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. AI Is Humans’ Doomed Enemy
B. AI Is on the Road to Destruction
C. Are We Aware of the Risks from AI
D. Do We Hate AI for All the Right Reasons

School, school, school. Every day was the same. Harriet felt like she was on a never-ending treadmill (跑步机), going through the motions without any real purpose. She was losing steam, and eventually found herself feeling numb.
There was a writing competition she wanted to enter — kind of. She loved writing, but lately, she just couldn’t be bothered. It was as if all her energy had been drained away (耗尽). She stared at the blank page in her notebook, willing the words to come, but they remained hard to find.
Then Zoe moved into their class. Everything about her gave off light and energy. From the way she bounced into the classroom to how she slung her backpack over her chair with carefree grace, Harriet was fascinated and desperate to know more about her. Zoe seemed to possess (拥有) an endless supply of vitality (活力), something Harriet sorely lacked.
Her chance came during sports class when they were placed on the same running team. Harriet’s heart pounded, not from the exercise, but from the anticipation of finally speaking to Zoe. “Where do you get all your energy from ” Harriet suddenly said out loud during a break. Zoe smiled mysteriously. “Lie down, ” she said. Confused but curious, Harriet followed Zoe’s lead and lay down on the grass. Next thing she knew, they were both looking up at the white fluffy clouds floating lazily above them.
“Isn’t this incredible ” Zoe said her voice filled with wonder. Harriet looked up, and for the first time in what felt like forever, she really saw the sky. The world suddenly seemed so much bigger and more expansive. The clouds were like giant cotton balls, floating in an endless sea of blue. How could just changing your perspective change so much “We spend too much time looking down, at our phones, at our feet, but not enough time looking up, ” said Zoe.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

57.考查形容词。句意：它曾经被学者、诗人和哲学家演奏，在中国文化中占据着独特的地位，在其中它象征着音乐、文学和个人修养的和谐结合。“the combination” 是名词短语，需要用形容词来修饰，“harmony”是名词“和谐”，其形容词形式 “harmonious” 表示“和谐的”。故填harmonious。
