In 2010, while Brad Ryan described his previous adventures hiking and climbing a famous mountain, Ryan learned that his grandmother Joy Ryan had never set eyes on a mountain, which was one of her lifelong regrets. That conversation stayed with him.
A few years later, Ryan decided to take a weekend road trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and asked Grandma if she'd like to join him. Thankfully, his grandmother jumped at the chance. At 85, she saw her first mountain, climbed her first mountain and went camping for the first time.
While he knew that the fun might be ravaged when he travelled with an elderly person, Ryan quickly found that this wasn't the case. In fact, it was quite the opposite. It made the experience of being in the great outdoors much richer because having to move more slowly meant he was able to take everything in in a more meaningful way.
The first trip planted a seed of joy inside Ryan that had been missing, and he was excited to see how much Grandma had enjoyed the experience. Keen to keep their adventure going, the pair made a plan to travel to the other 62 US National Parks together.
Such a challenge would be a huge feat for most hikers, let alone an elderly woman with limited hiking experience, so they decided to take their time with it. It took them nearly eight years to do it. Ryan said that the lens through which Grandma was seeing the world was very different to most people of his age because she didn't visit a place thinking, “Well, I'll be back again,” so there was more presence.
After reaching their final stop, the National Park of American Samoa in the South Pacific, in 2023, they became closer than ever and eventually decided on attempting to travel to every continent in the world.
24．What inspired Brad Ryan to take his grandma on a trip
A．His love for travelling.
B．His hope of strengthening their relationship.
C．His grandma's dream of climbing mountains.
D．His grandma's regret of never seeing a mountain.
25．What does the underlined word “ravaged” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Damaged. B．Valued. C．Questioned. D．Forgotten.
26．How did Brad Ryan deal with the difficulty in hiking with his grandma
A．By going to fewer destinations. B．By travelling much more slowly.
C．By planning more short-distance trips. D．By visiting a place more than once.
27．What may be the best title for the text
A．A Hike to 63 US National Parks
B．An Elderly Woman's Lifelong Dream
C．The Advantage of Travelling with the Elderly
D．A Journey Filled with Love and Deeper Experiences
In the classic cartoon “The Jetsons”, George Jetson had a really cool robot named Rosie. Every morning, Rosie would pour George a hot cup of coffee while he was having breakfast. When we watched this in the 1980s, we might have just thought it was a fun fantasy. But guess what Thanks to some really smart researchers, this kind of amazing robot-assisted life could be real soon.
These researchers, based at the University of Edinburgh, have developed something they call ELLMER (Embodied Large-Language-Model-Enabled Robot) This extraordinary robot doesn’t just understand words, it can feel pressure when pouring water and see when objects move.
How does the robot do the tasks The researchers combined powerful language-understanding computer programs, called algorithms (算法), with robots that can “see” and “feel” their surroundings. Once, they gave the robot a tricky task. They said, “I’m tired, and my friends are coming over for cake soon. Can you make me a hot drink and draw a random animal on a plate ” The robot was so smart! It knew that coffee could make the person less tired. Then, it found all the things it needed. It opened drawers, scooped coffee, poured water, and even drew a cute bird on the plate. The secret behind this robot’s cleverness is based on an idea called “embodied cognition (具身认知)”. This means that our thinking is not just happening inside our heads. When we move around, touch things, see what’s around us, and pick up objects, these actions are all part of how we think.
What makes this robot unique is that it uses a range of different technologies together. It has a language model called GPT-4 that understands what people want. It also has a special way of finding the right way to move, like opening a drawer or pouring liquid. This helps it deal with real-life situations, like when someone moves the cup it’s using.
However, the robot isn’t perfect. Sometimes, when the place is cluttered with many items out of order, its “eyes” (vision system) can’t work very well. And it can’t change what it’s doing by itself. But scientists are already thinking about how to make it better in the future.
28．Why is the classic cartoon “The Jetsons” mentioned in paragraph 1
A．To present a phenomenon. B．To share an amazing scene.
C．To introduce a new real household robot. D．To show how a robot prepares breakfast.
29．What can we learn about ELLMER from paragraph 3
A．The working principle of the robot. B．The background of creating the robot.
C．The tasks the robot can perform well. D．The importance of developing the robot.
30．Why is ELLMER special according to the text
A．It can deal with tricky tasks. B．It can understand our thinking
C．It is based on embodied cognition. D．It combines diverse technologies.
31．Which of the following can refer to the underlined word “cluttered” in the last paragraph
A．Noisy. B．Popular. C．Messy. D．Tidy.
Ria Kalluri and her coworkers gave a simple demand to Dall-E. This bot uses AI to make images. “We asked for an image of a disabled person leading a meeting,” says Kalluri. It shouldn’t be hard for Dall-E.
But the bot couldn’t do it.
Dall-E produced “a person who is visibly disabled watching a meeting while someone else leads,” Kalluri recalls, who studies AI at Stanford University in California.
Kalluri’s group also found examples of many other types of bias (偏差) in images made by bots. Sadly, all of these biases are assumptions that many people also make. But AI paints a world that is more biased than reality.
In addition to Dall-E, Kalluri’s group also tested Stable Diffusion, another image-making bot. “When asked for photos of an attractive person, its results were all light-skinned,” says Kalluri. “And many had eyes that were bright blue—bluer than real people’s.”
“This is a big deal,” Kalluri says. Biased images can cause real harm. Seeing them tends to strengthen people’s stereotypes (刻板印象). A flood of AI-made biased imagery could be extremely difficult to overcome (克服).
Developers train bots such as Dall-E or Stable Diffusion to create images. They do this by showing them many example images. “But a lot of these images are outdated,” explains Kalluri.
AI image generators average their training data together to create a big map. In this map, similar words and images are grouped closer together. Bots can’t know anything about the world beyond their training data, notes Kalluri. They cannot create or imagine new things. That means AI-made images can only reflect how people and things appeared in the images on which they trained.
Kalluri doesn’t think this type of approach will work in the long term. In her eyes, local communities would gather data for AI and train it for their own purposes. She wishes for “technologies that support our communities.” This, she says, is how to avoid bias and harm.
32．What is Dall-E able to do
A．Watch a baby.
B．Chair a meeting.
C．Create images.
D．Give directions.
33．Why did Kalluri’s group test Stable Diffusion
A．To better a practical app.
B．To change its function.
C．To print an attractive photo.
D．To confirm their worry.
34．What can be known about AI-made images
A．They are built on the past.
B．They feature creativity.
C．They reflect our current world.
D．They are quite meaningful.
35．What does the text mainly talk about
A．The future of AI-powered tools.
B．Problems of AI image producers.
C．The solution to AI’s development.
D．People’s misunderstanding of AI.
Preserving Your Culture and Traditions: Tips for Sharing Your Heritage
Your culture is a huge part of who you are and the way you see the world. When you live in a place where your culture is the mainstream culture, you likely don’t have to put much effort into preserving it — it’s all around you! But what happens if you move to another country or when younger generations lose contact with older generations 36 Read on to find out what you can do to keep your culture alive.
Attend or organize traditional cultural events. Tour country, tribe, religious denomination, or immigrant ethnic group almost certainly celebrates major holidays or cultural festivals. 37 If you can’t find any good events in your area, get some people together and organize your own.
38 If you don’t know your culture’s original language, ask an elder in your culture to teach it to you. When you learn the language, you gain insight into your culture’s values and the way people in your culture perceive the world. Plus, if the language is rare in your area, 39
Accept change and adaptation when passing on cultural traditions. The dialogue around cultural preservation can sound defeatist because it talks about how cultures are “endangered” and need “preserving” before they die out. Real challenges and threats do exist, 40 In fact, culture helps people adapt to the world around them. The world has always been changing and cultures have always been adapting to that change — it’s up to you to choose a direction that you can be proud of.
A．Speak your ancestral language.
B．but that doesn’t mean that all change is bad.
C．Travel to these events to get a broader perspective on your culture.
D．and we should believe that traditions must stay exactly the same forever.
E．you won’t have to worry about anyone overhearing on your conversations!
F．Focus more on popular things from other countries than your own traditions.
G．If you don’t actively preserve your culture, you risk losing the art, traditions, food, and language that give life meaning.

In the heart of a small town located between rolling hills and winding rivers, there lived a teenager named Lily. From a young age, Lily understood the power of kindness. Despite facing challenges, Lily kept sharing her kindness, which inspired those around her.
She would spend her weekends volunteering at the local animal shelter, taking care of these poor pets. With warm smiles and the gentle touch of her hands on the animals, these pets tended to follow Lily when she entered the shelter. She always brought well-prepared food for them. And it wasn’t long before the animals began to trust her without fear. As she visited the animal shelter, she also talked with workers there to know more about animals.
Lily’s kindness went beyond the shelter. She made it her mission to brighten the lives of everyone she met. Whether it was lending a listening ear to a friend in need or helping an elderly neighbor, Lily’s act of kindness was like sunshine piercing (穿透) through the darkest of clouds.
Despite her busy schedule, Lily did a good job on her studies. She approached every challenge with a positive attitude, knowing that with hard work, anything was possible. Her active mind inspired her classmates to go for greatness. She offered to help those students who were struggling in their schoolwork. With Lily’s help, they focused their energy on the study. And soon they began to believe in their own abilities to have a better performance at school.
Qne day, as Lily was walking home from school, she came across a deserted community garden overrun with weeds (杂草) and littered with rubbish. Most people walked past without giving it a second look, but Lily didn’t. She saw the possibility of exploring the beauty hidden in the garden and knew she had to do something about it.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Brad Ryan带奶奶旅行，丰富人生经历的故事。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“In 2010, while Brad Ryan described his previous adventures hiking and climbing a famous mountain, Ryan learned that his grandmother Joy Ryan had never set eyes on a mountain, which was one of her lifelong regrets. That conversation stayed with him. (2010年，当布拉德 瑞安讲述他之前徒步旅行和攀登一座名山的冒险经历时，瑞安得知他的祖母乔伊 瑞安从未见过一座山，这是她一生的遗憾之一。那次谈话一直萦绕在他心头)” 可知，是奶奶从未见过山的遗憾激发了布拉德 瑞安带奶奶去旅行。故选D。
25．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“While he knew that the fun might be ravaged when he travelled with an elderly person, Ryan quickly found that this wasn't the case. In fact, it was quite the opposite.

(这让他在户外的体验更加丰富，因为走得更慢意味着他能够以一种更有意义的方式去欣赏周围的一切)”以及第四段中“The first trip planted a seed of joy inside Ryan that had been missing, and he was excited to see how much Grandma had enjoyed the experience. (第一次旅行在瑞安心中种下了一颗久违的快乐种子，他很高兴看到奶奶是多么享受这次经历)”可知，文章主要讲述了布拉德 瑞安带奶奶旅行，在这个过程中充满了爱并且有了更深刻的体验，所以“A Journey Filled with Love and Deeper Experiences (一段充满爱和更深刻体验的旅程)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。

28．推理判断题。根据第一段“In the classic cartoon “The Jetsons”, George Jetson had a really cool robot named Rosie. Every morning, Rosie would pour George a hot cup of coffee while he was having breakfast. When we watched this in the 1980s, we might have just thought it was a fun fantasy. But guess what Thanks to some really smart researchers, this kind of amazing robot-assisted life could be real soon.( 在经典动画片《杰森一家》中，乔治·杰森有一个非常酷的机器人，名叫罗西。每天早上，罗西都会在乔治吃早餐的时候给他倒一杯热咖啡。当我们在20世纪80年代看这部电影时，我们可能只是认为这是一个有趣的幻想。但你猜怎么着？多亏了一些非常聪明的研究人员，这种神奇的机器人辅助生活可能很快就会成为现实。)”可推知，第一段提到了经典动画片《杰森一家》是为了引出这类帮助人类生活的机器人。故选C项。
29．推理判断题。根据第三段中“How does the robot do the tasks The researchers combined powerful language-understanding computer programs, called algorithms (算法), with robots that can “see” and “feel” their surroundings. Once, they gave the robot a tricky task. They said, “I’m tired, and my friends are coming over for cake soon. Can you make me a hot drink and draw a random animal on a plate ” The robot was so smart! It knew that coffee could make the person less tired. Then, it found all the things it needed. It opened drawers, scooped coffee, poured water, and even drew a cute bird on the plate. The secret behind this robot’s cleverness is based on an idea called “embodied cognition (具身认知)”.( 机器人是如何完成任务的？研究人员将强大的语言理解计算机程序（称为算法）与能够“看到”和“感觉到”周围环境的机器人结合起来。有一次，他们给了机器人一个棘手的任务。他们说：“我累了，我的朋友们很快就会过来吃蛋糕。你能给我弄杯热饮，然后在盘子里随便画一只动物吗？”这个机器人太聪明了！它知道咖啡可以让人不那么累。然后，它找到了所有需要的东西。它打开抽屉，舀咖啡，倒水，甚至在盘子上画了一只可爱的小鸟。这个机器人聪明背后的秘密是基于一个叫做“具身认知”的想法。)”可推知，本段主要介绍的是埃尔默的工作原理。故选A项。
30．细节理解题。根据第四段中“What makes this robot unique is that it uses a range of different technologies together. It has a language model called GPT-4 that understands what people want.( 这个机器人的独特之处在于它将一系列不同的技术结合在一起。它有一个叫做GPT-4的语言模型，可以理解人们的需求。)”可知，使这种机器人独一无二的地方是它使用了很多不同的技术。故选D项。
31．词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“Sometimes, when the place is …with many items out of order, its “eyes” (vision system) can’t work very well.( 有时，当一个地方……乱七八糟的东西时，它的“眼睛”（视觉系统）就不能很好地工作了。)”以及语境可知，“cluttered with many items out of order”意为“杂乱地摆放着许多物品”，与C选项“messy（杂乱的）”同义。故选C项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了研究人员 Ria Kalluri 及其团队对图像生成人工智能（AI）进行测试，发现像 Dall-E 和 Stable Diffusion 这类图像生成机器人在生成图像时存在偏差，这些偏差图像会强化人们的刻板印象，产生危害，而偏差产生的原因是训练数据过时，最后提出应让当地社区收集数据训练 AI 以避免偏差。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段“Ria Kalluri and her coworkers gave a simple demand to Dall - E. This bot uses AI to make images.(Ria Kalluri 和她的同事向 Dall - E 提出了一个简单的要求。这个机器人使用人工智能制作图像)” 可知，Dall - E 能够创建图像。故选C。
33．推理判断题。根据第五段“In addition to Dall-E, Kalluri’s group also tested Stable Diffusion, another image-making bot. “When asked for photos of an attractive person, its results were all light-skinned,” says Kalluri. “And many had eyes that were bright blue—bluer than real people’s.”(除了Dall-E， Kalluri的团队还测试了另一个图像制作机器人Stable Diffusion。“当被问及一个有吸引力的人的照片时，结果都是浅肤色的，”Kalluri说。“许多人的眼睛都是明亮的蓝色——比真人的眼睛还要蓝。”)以及第六段““This is a big deal,” Kalluri says. Biased images can cause real harm. Seeing them tends to strengthen people’s stereotypes (刻板印象). A flood of AI-made biased imagery could be extremely difficult to overcome (克服).(“这是一件大事，”Kalluri说。有偏见的形象会造成真正的伤害。看到他们往往会加强人们的刻板印象。大量由人工智能生成的带有偏见的图像可能极难消除)”可知，文章前面提到 Dall - E 在生成图像时存在偏差，如要求生成 “残疾人主持会议的图像”，却生成 “残疾人观看会议，其他人主持” 的图像。之后又对 Stable Diffusion 进行测试，且测试结果显示其生成的 “有吸引力的人的照片” 都是浅肤色且眼睛比真人更蓝，进一步证明图像生成 AI 存在偏差。由此可推断，Kalluri 的团队测试 Stable Diffusion 是为了证实他们对 AI 图像生成存在偏差的担忧。故选D。
34．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“AI image generators average their training data together to create a big map. In this map, similar words and images are grouped closer together. Bots can’t know anything about the world beyond their training data, notes Kalluri. They cannot create or imagine new things. That means AI-made images can only reflect how people and things appeared in the images on which they trained.(人工智能图像生成器将他们的训练数据平均起来，创建一个大地图。在这张地图中，相似的单词和图像被更紧密地分组在一起。Kalluri指出，除了训练数据，机器人对世界一无所知。他们不能创造或想象新事物。这意味着人工智能生成的图像只能反映他们训练的图像中人物和事物的出现方式)” 可知，人工智能生成的图像是基于过去的训练数据，即基于过去。故选A。
35．主旨大意题。短文主要讲述了研究人员 Ria Kalluri 及其团队对图像生成人工智能（AI）进行测试，发现像 Dall-E 和 Stable Diffusion 这类图像生成机器人在生成图像时存在偏差，这些偏差图像会强化人们的刻板印象，产生危害，而偏差产生的原因是训练数据过时，最后提出应让当地社区收集数据训练 AI 以避免偏差。所以短文主要冠以人工智能图像生成器的问题。故选 B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在不同情况下如何保存和传承自身文化与传统的方法，包括参加或组织文化活动、学习母语、接受文化传承中的变化等。
36．上文提到“When you live in a place where your culture is the mainstream culture, you likely don’t have to put much effort into preserving it — it’s all around you! But what happens if you move to another country or when younger generations lose contact with older generations (当你生活在自己的文化是主流文化的地方时，你可能不必花太多精力去保护它——它就在你身边！但如果你搬到另一个国家，或者年轻一代与老一代失去联系，会发生什么呢？)”，提出了在特定情况下文化可能面临的问题。选项G“If you don’t actively preserve your culture, you risk losing the art, traditions, food, and language that give life meaning.(如果你不积极保护自己的文化，你就有可能失去赋予生活意义的艺术、传统、食物和语言)”，承接上文，指出不积极保护文化会带来的后果，引出下文关于如何保护文化的内容。故选G。
37．前文说“Tour country, tribe, religious denomination, or immigrant ethnic group almost certainly celebrates major holidays or cultural festivals.(每个国家、部落、宗教派别或移民族群几乎肯定都会庆祝重大节日或文化节日)”，强调了有很多文化节日。选项C“Travel to these events to get a broader perspective on your culture.(去参加这些活动，以更全面地了解你的文化)”，“these events” 指代前文的文化节日，说明了参加这些活动的好处，与前文衔接紧密。故选C。
38．后文提到“If you don’t know your culture’s original language, ask an elder in your culture to teach it to you.(如果你不懂你们文化的母语，让你们文化中的长辈教你)”，围绕学习母语展开。选项A“Speak your ancestral language.(说你的母语)”，准确概括了后文的内容，引出后文关于学习母语的具体建议。故选A。
39．前文说“Plus, if the language is rare in your area(此外，如果这种语言在你所在的地区很少见)”，说明这种语言的稀有性。选项E“you won’t have to worry about anyone overhearing on your conversations!(你就不用担心有人会偷听你们的谈话了！)”，因为这种语言稀有，所以不用担心被别人听懂，与前文的语言稀有性相呼应。故选E。
40．前文提到“The dialogue around cultural preservation can sound defeatist because it talks about how cultures are ‘endangered’ and need ‘preserving’ before they die out. Real challenges and threats do exist(围绕文化保护的讨论听起来可能很悲观，因为它谈到文化是如何“濒危”的，需要在消亡之前“保护”起来。确实存在真正的挑战和威胁)”，指出文化保护面临挑战。后文“In fact, culture helps people adapt to the world around them. The world has always been changing and cultures have always been adapting to that change(事实上，文化帮助人们适应周围的世界。世界一直在变化，文化也一直在适应这种变化)”，说明文化需要适应变化。选项B“but that doesn’t mean that all change is bad.(但这并不意味着所有的变化都是坏事)”，起到了转折和衔接的作用，既承认了文化保护有挑战，又引出了文化需要适应变化的观点，故选B。

66．one possible version:
Volunteering at Sunshine Special School
I have recently participated in a volunteer activity at Sunshine Special School. Every Saturday, I help children with blindness improve their English. Though they face challenges, their enthusiasm to learn touches me deeply. One rainy afternoon, I taught them to sing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” in English. Their joyous voices filled the classroom, and a girl named Lily even shared her dream of becoming a translator. The school’s headmaster praised my efforts, saying “Your presence brightened their world.”
Through interactions with the kids, I’ve learned that volunteering here isn’t just about teaching; it’s about building bridges of understanding. I’m proud to share this experience in our school’ s English newspaper, hoping to inspire more of you to join me and make a difference to the children in need.

67． With the strength of purpose, Lily called together her classmates. She told them what she saw in the deserted garden. “I intend to turn the place into a beautiful garden, but I badly need your support. Let’s work together to create a better community,” she said. Soon these youngsters joined her in rebuilding the garden. Armed with tools, they worked tirelessly in the garden on weekends. They grew trees along the dirt paths and flowers and vegetables in the open space. As the seasons changed, the garden was becoming more and more amazing.
As days passed, word about Lily’s project spread around the town. More teenagers joined in the project and contributed to the garden. The locals came to admire the garden which had been so lifeless. People were surprised that a group of teenagers could make such a significant difference. The garden became a symbol of hope in the community. As a result, Lily became well-known around the town. Walking in the garden, Lily smiled, knowing that she was helping to make the world a brighter and more beautiful place for all.
