Four Books Worth Recommending
Driving the Green Book
From 1936 to 1967, the Green Book served as an annual travel guide for African Americans. Award-winning broadcaster Alvin Hall first learned about the Green Book in 2015, and he was immediately attracted. Several years later, he set out on a 2,000-plus-mile cross-country road trip from New York to New Orleans. The result, Driving the Green Book, is a 288-page journey along America's open roads, exploring the country's racial past and detailing the Green Book's life-saving history.
The Last Ride of the Pony Express
In 2019, American journalist Will Grant went on a 5-month, 2,000-mile journey on horseback from Missouri to California. His goal was to follow the historic route of the Pony Express. Grant records his 142-day adventure in The Last Ride of the Pony Express, describing his trip in the company of his two horses, Badger and Chicken Fry.
Elixir
After a decade of living in the Scottish Highlands, native Bulgarian Kapka Kassabova returned to her roots in southwestern Bulgaria's remote Mesta Valley, a rural region known for its wild crops and their vast medicinal properties. Over several seasons, the poet and writer travelled to study the deep relationship between the area's people and plants, as well as with the land itself.
The Life Cycle
British writer and cyclist Kate Rawles has a liking for raising awareness about environmental challenges through her own adventures. Her 8,288-mile, 13-month journey across the length of the Andes Mountains on a self-built bamboo bicycle is the basis for her new book, The Life Cycle.
1. Who reveals America’s racial past in his book
A. Will Grant. B. Alvin Hall.
C. Kate Rawles. D. Kapka Kassabova.
2. Which book concerns the exploration of Bulgaria's Mesta Valley
A. Elixir. B. The Life Cycle.
C. Driving the Green Book. D. The Last Ride of the Pony Express.
3. What do these four books have in common
A. Their writers are journalists. B. Their target readers are tour guides.
C. They show the significance of history. D. They have something to do with travel.
B
When I was a much younger man than I am today, I was a creative writer. I wrote short stories and poems. I wrote for the pure enjoyment of putting thoughts down on paper. Short stories mostly. For me.
Then I spent 20 years writing professionally as a copywriter. I was using all of my creative energy to write campaigns for everything from Apple to Volkswagen. I had nothing left. My creative well was dry. For the last 15 years, I was no longer writing for a living. Or for myself.
Then one day, I saw a Facebook friend post something about a new typewriter he had acquired, bringing his collection to 12 machines. I immediately thought about the 100-year-old Underwood No.5 typewriter I bought about 35 years ago at a flea market (跳蚤市场) for $25. I never used it. I just loved the look of it and bought it to show respect for my love of writing. And it looked cool sitting on display as a conversation starter in our dining room.
Suddenly, I found myself researching “typewriter repair” online...which led me down a rabbit hole of not just repair people but typewriters, all kinds of typewriters. I now have machines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s, so far totaling 15 machines. Each machine is a good example of industrial design from the era in which it was made. In truth, they’re time machines that fire my creativity and inspire me to write again in a way that nothing has done for decades.
When I sit at my typewriter, I don’t get notifications. The only sound I hear is the bell ringing at the end of a line indicating that I need to return the carriage. The real world is a noisy place with so many distractions (使人分心的事物). But all that goes away when I sit down to a machine like my Royal Portable 2 made in 1931. It’s just me and my thoughts, buttoning one letter at a time on a real piece of paper. I'm writing again. For me.

Some people sit outside for hours without getting bitten by mosquitoes, but it always seems like you’re being eaten alive within minutes of stepping outdoors. In fact, you’re not alone. According to Smithsonian Magazine, around 20% of people in the world are especially tasty to mosquitoes. What about these people makes mosquitoes’ mouths water
It’s generally claimed that mosquitoes prefer certain blood types, but the fact is that they simply can’t tell what your blood type is from a faraway place. Jonathon Day, a professor of medical entomology (昆虫学) at the University of Florida in the US, told NBC it’s not complicated. “The two most important reasons why a mosquito is attracted to you have to do with smell and sight.”
Mosquitoes are especially active in the late afternoon. While flying along, they use their sense of smell to find possible targets. They find victims by smelling CO2 breathed out by humans and animals.
Joop van Loon, an entomologist at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, told Live Science, “Mosquitoes get attracted to CO2 and keep flying upwind as they sense higher concentrations.” As a result, people who simply give off more of the gas over time — generally larger people — have become more magnetic.
“This is why kids don’t get bitten as much as adults,” US professor Ted Rosen told Science Alert. This love for CO2 can also put pregnant (怀孕的) women at increased risks for mosquito bites, as they tend to give off 21% more CO2 than people of the same age and size who aren’t pregnant.
In addition to CO2, the color of the clothes you wear also plays a role in attracting mosquitoes. According to Live Science, mosquitoes can lock onto targets from up to 50 meters away. At this distance, what we wear has a huge effect. Due to their vision, people wearing dark colors are more likely to become targets.
8. Why are mosquitoes attracted to people according to Jonathon Day
A. The sound people make. B. People’s unique figures.
C. People’s smell and sight. D. The sweat people produce.
9. What does the underlined word “magnetic” probably mean in paragraph 4
A. Attractive. B. Excited. C. Generous. D. Amusing.
10. Why are pregnant women more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes
A. They breathe out more CO2. B. They are more active outdoors.
C. They produce a stronger body smell. D. They give off a higher concentration of heat.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A How Can We Avoid Mosquito Bites B. How Do Mosquitoes Make You a Meal
C. What Allows Mosquitoes to Live Longer D. What Are Mosquitoes’ Favorite Blood Types
D
“The first domestic geese (鹅) may have lived about 7,000 years ago in what is now China. That may make them the earliest bird to be domesticated,” says Masaki Eda at the Hokkaido University Museum in Sapporo, Japan. Eda is part of a team that has unearthed an archaeological (考古) site in Eastern China called Tianluoshan, which was a Stone Age village between about 7,000 and 5,500 years ago. “Its residents lived basically by killing wild animals and looking for plants that can be eaten,” says Eda, “but they also grew rice.”
The team has now identified 232 goose bones at Tianluoshan, 4 of which belonged to immature geese that were less than 16 weeks old, with the youngest probably less than 8 weeks old. This implies they must have hatched at Tianluoshan, because they were too young to have flown in from elsewhere. Some of the adult geese also seem to have been locally bred (饲养) , based on the chemical make-up of their bones, which reflects the water they drank. These locally bred birds were all almost the same size, indicating captive breeding (圈养) . Finally, the team carbon-dated the bones and found that the locally bred geese lived about 7,000 years ago.
“The main thing that stood out for me is the fact they actually did radiocarbon dating on the bird bones,” says Julia Best at Cardiff University in the UK. This makes the dating much more reliable than if the team had simply dated the surrounding materials. “If geese were domesticated 7,000 years ago, that would make them the first bird to be domesticated,” says Eda. The other candidate is the chicken, but there has been an argument over when and where this first appeared.
A study published in 2014 reported that chickens were domesticated in Northern China as early as 10,000 years ago, based on DNA from bones. However, the bones weren’t directly dated and “a lot of the things they claimed were chickens were pheasants (野鸡) ”, says Best. “Domestic chickens only appeared around 5,000 years ago. With the firm evidence we currently have, I think it is true,” she says, but adds that the domestication of chickens is understudied, so the story could well change as more evidence emerges.
12. What can we learn about Tianluoshan
A. It formed more than 10,000 years ago.
B. Its residents were mainly hunter-gatherers.
C. It was a Stone Age village in Northern China.
D. Its residents kept geese as pets and grew rice.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The living habitat of early geese.
B. The challenges for immature geese.
C. The evidence of goose domestication.
D. The chemical composition of goose bones.
14. What does Julia Best tend to believe at present
A. Geese were domesticated before chickens.
B Domestic chickens first appeared in Eastern China.
C. Radiocarbon dating on goose bones was unreliable.
D. The testing of DNA from chicken bones was dependable.
15 What is the main purpose of this text
A. To report. B. To describe. C. To survey. D. To persuade.

Personal letters, especially recommendation letters, hold great significance in various aspects. However, when it comes to using AI to write them, there are some crucial points to consider.
Get personal. ___16___ For example they often fail to vividly describe the candidate’s achievements, character, strengths and potential. This can have a negative impact on the candidate’s application.
___17___ A genuine assessment is more than just listing achievements. It involves looking into how the candidate dealt with challenges and grew in their role, which can predict their future success. The human touch in a genuine recommendation is what makes a letter truly persuasive, and this is something AI cannot reproduce.
On one hand, we can make use of AI. ___18___ It can assist in grammar improvement and transforming our thoughts into a well-written passage. But we should be careful. The core of a recommendation letter is the unique insights that only a human can offer. If both the request and reply of the letter are overly dependent on AI, meaningful conversations might turn into simple copying and pasting.
However, if a candidate receives a letter that is too AI-heavy, they have several options to deal with the situation. The candidate can have an open and honest conversation with the referee (推荐人), politely express concerns about the overly AI-generated nature of the letter and ask if the referee could add more personal stories, in-depth evaluations, or unique opinions based on their real-life experiences with the candidate. ___19___
In conclusion, both candidates and referees need to be aware that a recommendation letter is like a bridge connecting a candidate’s past and future career prospects. ___20___
A. Value personal relationships.
B. Provide a genuine assessment.
C. AI has become very popular in writing.
D. AI can play a certain role in the writing process.
E. It should be constructed with care and reliability.

Emily had spent her entire life in New York City. The tall buildings, the crowded streets, and the friends she had grown up with were the essence of her existence. But when she was 15, her life took an unexpected turn. Her father got a promotion that required the family to relocate to Texas. It was a depressing decision as it meant parting with everything she held dear.
With the move came a new school for Emily. Every time she considered leaving her current school, she was overcome with sadness. She was afraid of the changes ahead — the new environment, the new school, and the new faces she would encounter. She wasn't sure if she could adapt or if she would be isolated.
After a long and tiring journey across the states, the family reached Texas and settled down. When the day to start at her new school arrived, Emily's mind was burdened with concerns. What if the classmates were mean and unapproachable What if she remained friendless
The following morning, Emily's parents drove her to school. Her heart pounded in her chest as they arrived at the large concrete building. She hugged her parents tightly, took a deep breath, and got out of the car. With each step towards the school entrance, her nervousness increased. She felt as if she was entering a completely strange world.
Emily was welcomed by a school teacher, who was extremely kind. Noticing Emily's uneasiness and shyness, he decided to give her a tour of the campus first. Emily was shown the art studio, the well-equipped library, and the expansive football field where she thought about joining the cheerleading team. As they walked around, Emily slowly realized that the school was actually quite charming and started to feel a bit more at ease.
Finally, they reached the academic building and made their way to Emily's new classroom, and her heart began to race once again. The teacher led her to the door and gave her a reassuring smile.

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When I was a much younger man than I am today, I was a creative writer. I wrote short stories and poems. I wrote for the pure enjoyment of putting thoughts down on paper. Short stories mostly. For me. (在我比现在年轻得多的时候，我曾是一名创意作家，写过短篇小说和诗歌。我写作纯粹是因为享受把想法落在纸上的乐趣，主要是写短篇小说，为自己而写)”以及第二段“Then I spent 20 years writing professionally as a copywriter. I was using all of my creative energy to write campaigns for everything from Apple to Volkswagen. I had nothing left. My creative well was dry. For the last 15 years, I was no longer writing for a living. Or for myself. (后来，我做了20年的职业文案撰稿人，把所有的创造力都用在为从苹果到大众汽车等各种品牌撰写营销文案上。我耗尽了一切，灵感的源泉干涸了。在过去的 15 年里，我既不再以写作为生，也不再为自己而写)”可知，作者年轻时是创意作家，后来作为专业文案撰写人工作了20年，把所有创意能量都用在了写广告文案上，以至于创意源泉枯竭，由此可推断出作者过度使用了他的创造力。故选A。

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“When I sit at my typewriter, I don’t get notifications. The only sound I hear is the bell ringing at the end of a line indicating that I need to return the carriage. The real world is a noisy place with so many distractions (使人分心的事物). But all that goes away when I sit down to a machine like my Royal Portable 2 made in 1931.

Some people sit outside for hours without getting bitten by mosquitoes, but it always seems like you’re being eaten alive within minutes of stepping outdoors. In fact, you’re not alone. According to Smithsonian Magazine, around 20% of people in the world are especially tasty to mosquitoes. What about these people makes mosquitoes’ mouths water
It’s generally claimed that mosquitoes prefer certain blood types, but the fact is that they simply can’t tell what your blood type is from a faraway place. Jonathon Day, a professor of medical entomology (昆虫学) at the University of Florida in the US, told NBC it’s not complicated. “The two most important reasons why a mosquito is attracted to you have to do with smell and sight.”
Mosquitoes are especially active in the late afternoon. While flying along, they use their sense of smell to find possible targets. They find victims by smelling CO2 breathed out by humans and animals.
Joop van Loon, an entomologist at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, told Live Science, “Mosquitoes get attracted to CO2 and keep flying upwind as they sense higher concentrations.” As a result, people who simply give off more of the gas over time — generally larger people — have become more magnetic.
“This is why kids don’t get bitten as much as adults,” US professor Ted Rosen told Science Alert. This love for CO2 can also put pregnant (怀孕的) women at increased risks for mosquito bites, as they tend to give off 21% more CO2 than people of the same age and size who aren’t pregnant.
In addition to CO2, the color of the clothes you wear also plays a role in attracting mosquitoes. According to Live Science, mosquitoes can lock onto targets from up to 50 meters away. At this distance, what we wear has a huge effect. Due to their vision, people wearing dark colors are more likely to become targets.
8. Why are mosquitoes attracted to people according to Jonathon Day
A. The sound people make. B. People’s unique figures.
C. People’s smell and sight. D. The sweat people produce.
9 What does the underlined word “magnetic” probably mean in paragraph 4
A. Attractive. B. Excited. C. Generous. D. Amusing.
10. Why are pregnant women more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes
A. They breathe out more CO2. B. They are more active outdoors.
C. They produce a stronger body smell. D. They give off a higher concentration of heat.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. How Can We Avoid Mosquito Bites B. How Do Mosquitoes Make You a Meal
C. What Allows Mosquitoes to Live Longer D. What Are Mosquitoes’ Favorite Blood Types
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了为什么有些人更容易被蚊子叮咬，解释了蚊子选择叮咬目标的原因，包括气味、视觉以及穿着等因素。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中Jonathon Day所说的话“The two most important reasons why a mosquito is attracted to you have to do with smell and sight. (蚊子被吸引到你的身上的两个最重要的原因与气味和视觉有关)”可知，Jonathon Day认为蚊子被人们吸引的原因是人们的气味和视觉。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“Joop van Loon, an entomologist at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, told Live Science, “Mosquitoes get attracted to CO2 and keep flying upwind as they sense higher concentrations.” As a result, people who simply give off more of the gas over time — generally larger people — have become more magnetic. (荷兰瓦赫宁根大学的昆虫学家Joop van Loon告诉《生活科学》杂志说：“蚊子被二氧化碳吸引，当它们感觉到更高浓度的二氧化碳时，就会一直逆风飞行。”因此，随着时间的推移，那些释放出更多这种气体的人——通常是体型较大的人——变得更magnetic)”可知，体型较大的人会释放出更多的二氧化碳，从而更容易吸引蚊子，由此可推测出“magnetic”在此处的意思是“有吸引力的”。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“This love for CO2 can also put pregnant (怀孕的) women at increased risks for mosquito bites, as they tend to give off 21% more CO2 than people of the same age and size who aren’t pregnant.(这种对二氧化碳的喜爱也会增加孕妇被蚊子叮咬的风险，因为她们比同龄同体型未怀孕的人多释放21%的二氧化碳)”可知，孕妇更容易被蚊子叮咬是因为她们呼出的二氧化碳更多。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，特别是第一段“Some people sit outside for hours without getting bitten by mosquitoes, but it always seems like you’re being eaten alive within minutes of stepping outdoors. In fact, you’re not alone. According to Smithsonian Magazine, around 20% of people in the world are especially tasty to mosquitoes. What about these people makes mosquitoes’ mouths water (有些人坐在外面几个小时都不会被蚊子叮咬，但似乎你一出门几分钟就会被蚊子叮咬。事实上，你并不孤单。据《史密森尼杂志》报道，世界上大约20%的人对蚊子来说特别美味。是什么让这些人让蚊子垂涎欲滴呢？)”可知，文章主要探讨了为什么有些人更容易被蚊子叮咬，即蚊子是如何选择叮咬目标的。因此，B项“How Do Mosquitoes Make You a Meal (蚊子是如何把你当作一顿饭的？)”最符合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B。

“The first domestic geese (鹅) may have lived about 7,000 years ago in what is now China. That may make them the earliest bird to be domesticated,” says Masaki Eda at the Hokkaido University Museum in Sapporo, Japan. Eda is part of a team that has unearthed an archaeological (考古的) site in Eastern China called Tianluoshan, which was a Stone Age village between about 7,000 and 5,500 years ago. “Its residents lived basically by killing wild animals and looking for plants that can be eaten,” says Eda, “but they also grew rice.”
The team has now identified 232 goose bones at Tianluoshan, 4 of which belonged to immature geese that were less than 16 weeks old, with the youngest probably less than 8 weeks old. This implies they must have hatched at Tianluoshan, because they were too young to have flown in from elsewhere. Some of the adult geese also seem to have been locally bred (饲养) , based on the chemical make-up of their bones, which reflects the water they drank. These locally bred birds were all almost the same size, indicating captive breeding (圈养) . Finally, the team carbon-dated the bones and found that the locally bred geese lived about 7,000 years ago.
“The main thing that stood out for me is the fact they actually did radiocarbon dating on the bird bones,” says Julia Best at Cardiff University in the UK. This makes the dating much more reliable than if the team had simply dated the surrounding materials. “If geese were domesticated 7,000 years ago, that would make them the first bird to be domesticated,” says Eda. The other candidate is the chicken, but there has been an argument over when and where this first appeared.
A study published in 2014 reported that chickens were domesticated in Northern China as early as 10,000 years ago, based on DNA from bones. However, the bones weren’t directly dated and “a lot of the things they claimed were chickens were pheasants (野鸡) ”, says Best. “Domestic chickens only appeared around 5,000 years ago. With the firm evidence we currently have, I think it is true,” she says, but adds that the domestication of chickens is understudied, so the story could well change as more evidence emerges.
12. What can we learn about Tianluoshan
A. It formed more than 10,000 years ago.
B. Its residents were mainly hunter-gatherers.
C. It was a Stone Age village in Northern China.
D. Its residents kept geese as pets and grew rice.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The living habitat of early geese.
B. The challenges for immature geese.
C. The evidence of goose domestication.
D. The chemical composition of goose bones.
14. What does Julia Best tend to believe at present
A. Geese were domesticated before chickens.
B. Domestic chickens first appeared in Eastern China.
C. Radiocarbon dating on goose bones was unreliable.
D. The testing of DNA from chicken bones was dependable.
15. What is the main purpose of this text
A. To report. B. To describe. C. To survey. D. To persuade.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了考古学家在中国东部的一个石器时代村落遗址田螺山发现了家鹅的骨骼，这些骨骼为家鹅的驯化提供了证据，并探讨了家鹅可能是最早被驯化的鸟类这一观点。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Eda is part of a team that has unearthed an archaeological (考古的) site in Eastern China called Tianluoshan, which was a Stone Age village between about 7,000 and 5,500 years ago. “Its residents lived basically by killing wild animals and looking for plants that can be eaten,” says Eda, “but they also grew rice.” (Eda是一个考古团队的成员，该团队在中国东部发现了一个名为田螺山的考古遗址，这是一个大约7000年至5500年前的石器时代村落。“它的居民基本上靠捕杀野生动物和寻找可食用的植物为生，”Eda说，“但他们也种植水稻。”)”可知，田螺山是一个位于中国东部的石器时代村落，其居民主要以捕猎和采集为生，同时也种植水稻。因此，我们可以了解到田螺山的居民主要是狩猎采集者。故选B。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The team has now identified 232 goose bones at Tianluoshan, 4 of which belonged to immature geese that were less than 16 weeks old, with the youngest probably less than 8 weeks old. This implies they must have hatched at Tianluoshan, because they were too young to have flown in from elsewhere. Some of the adult geese also seem to have been locally bred (饲养), based on the chemical make-up of their bones, which reflects the water they drank. These locally bred birds were all almost the same size, indicating captive breeding(圈养). Finally, the team carbon-dated the bones and found that the locally bred geese lived about 7,000 years ago. (该团队现已在田螺山发现了232块鹅骨，其中4块属于不到16周大的未成熟鹅，最小的可能不到8周大。这意味着它们一定是在田螺山孵化的，因为它们太小了，不可能从其他地方飞过来。根据鹅骨的化学成分，其中一些成年鹅似乎也是当地饲养的，这反映了它们所喝的水。这些当地饲养的鸟几乎都是一样大的，表明是圈养的。最后，研究小组对骨骼进行了碳年代测定，发现这些当地饲养的鹅生活在大约7000年前)”可知，第二段主要讲述了考古学家在田螺山发现的鹅骨为家鹅的驯化提供了证据，包括未成熟鹅的骨骼表明它们是在当地孵化的，以及成年鹅骨骼的化学成分表明它们是当地饲养的，且这些鹅的大小几乎相同，表明是圈养的。因此，第二段主要谈论的是家鹅驯化的证据。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中““If geese were domesticated 7,000 years ago, that would make them the first bird to be domesticated,” says Eda. (Eda说：“如果家鹅在7000年前就被驯化了，那么它们将是第一种被驯化的鸟类。”)”以及第四段中“However, the bones weren’t directly dated and "a lot of the things they claimed were chickens were pheasants (野鸡)”, says Best. “Domestic chickens only appeared around 5,000 years ago. With the firm evidence we currently have, I think it is true,” she says, but adds that the domestication of chickens is understudied, so the story could well change as more evidence emerges. (然而，Best说，这些骨头并没有直接进行年代测定，而且“他们声称的很多鸡都是野鸡”。“家鸡直到大约5000年前才出现。她说：“根据我们目前掌握的确凿证据，我认为这是真的。”但她补充说，家鸡的驯化研究不足，所以随着更多证据的出现，这个故事很可能会改变。”)”可知，Julia Best倾向于认为家鹅是在鸡之前被驯化的，因为根据现有的确凿证据，家鹅在大约7000年前就被驯化了，而家鸡直到大约5000年前才出现。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容，特别是第三段中Eda的话““If geese were domesticated 7,000 years ago, that would make them the first bird to be domesticated," says Eda. (Eda说：“如果家鹅在7000年前就被驯化了，那么它们将是第一种被驯化的鸟类。”)”以及第四段中Julia Best的话““Domestic chickens only appeared around 5,000 years ago.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Personal letters, especially recommendation letters, hold great significance in various aspects. However, when it comes to using AI to write them, there are some crucial points to consider.
Get personal. ___16___ For example, they often fail to vividly describe the candidate’s achievements, character, strengths and potential. This can have a negative impact on the candidate’s application.
___17___ A genuine assessment is more than just listing achievements. It involves looking into how the candidate dealt with challenges and grew in their role, which can predict their future success. The human touch in a genuine recommendation is what makes a letter truly persuasive, and this is something AI cannot reproduce.
On one hand, we can make use of AI. ___18___ It can assist in grammar improvement and transforming our thoughts into a well-written passage. But we should be careful. The core of a recommendation letter is the unique insights that only a human can offer. If both the request and reply of the letter are overly dependent on AI, meaningful conversations might turn into simple copying and pasting.
However, if a candidate receives a letter that is too AI-heavy, they have several options to deal with the situation. The candidate can have an open and honest conversation with the referee (推荐人), politely express concerns about the overly AI-generated nature of the letter and ask if the referee could add more personal stories, in-depth evaluations, or unique opinions based on their real-life experiences with the candidate. ___19___
In conclusion, both candidates and referees need to be aware that a recommendation letter is like a bridge connecting a candidate’s past and future career prospects. ___20___
A. Value personal relationships.
B. Provide a genuine assessment.
C. AI has become very popular in writing.
D. AI can play a certain role in the writing process.
E. It should be constructed with care and reliability.
F. He can also contact the hiring committee to clarify the limitations.
G. AI-generated letters lack the emotional elements a personal letter has.

18题详解】
根据下文“It can assist in grammar improvement and transforming our thoughts into a well-written passage. But we should be careful. (它可以帮助改进语法，并将我们的想法转化为一篇写得很好的文章。但我们应该小心)”可知，此处说明AI在写作过程中可以发挥一定的作用，但也要谨慎使用。D选项“AI在写作过程中可以发挥一定的作用”符合语境，且D选项中的“AI”与下文中的“It”相呼应。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据上文“The candidate can have an open and honest conversation with the referee (推荐人), politely express concerns about the overly AI-generated nature of the letter and ask if the referee could add more personal stories, in-depth evaluations, or unique opinions based on their real-life experiences with the candidate. (候选人可以与推荐人进行公开和诚实的对话，礼貌地表达对信件过于AI生成性质的担忧，并询问推荐人是否可以根据他们与候选人的真实生活经历添加更多的个人故事、深入的评价或独特的观点)”可知，此处给出候选人如果收到过于AI化的信件时的应对建议，除了与推荐人沟通外，还可以联系招聘委员会。F选项“他还可以联系招聘委员会，说明信件的局限性”符合语境，且F选项中的“He”指代上文中的“The candidate”。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“In conclusion, both candidates and referees need to be aware that a recommendation letter is like a bridge connecting a candidate’s past and future career prospects. (总之，候选人和推荐人都需要意识到，推荐信就像一座连接候选人过去和未来职业前景的桥梁)”可知，此处总结推荐信的重要性，并强调需要谨慎和可靠地构建它。E选项“它应该谨慎和可靠地构建”符合语境，且E选项中的“It”指代上文中的“a recommendation letter”。故选E。

47. 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。
Emily had spent her entire life in New York City. The tall buildings, the crowded streets, and the friends she had grown up with were the essence of her existence. But when she was 15, her life took an unexpected turn. Her father got a promotion that required the family to relocate to Texas. It was a depressing decision as it meant parting with everything she held dear.
With the move came a new school for Emily. Every time she considered leaving her current school, she was overcome with sadness. She was afraid of the changes ahead — the new environment, the new school, and the new faces she would encounter. She wasn't sure if she could adapt or if she would be isolated.
After a long and tiring journey across the states, the family reached Texas and settled down. When the day to start at her new school arrived, Emily's mind was burdened with concerns. What if the classmates were mean and unapproachable What if she remained friendless
The following morning, Emily's parents drove her to school. Her heart pounded in her chest as they arrived at the large concrete building. She hugged her parents tightly, took a deep breath, and got out of the car. With each step towards the school entrance, her nervousness increased. She felt as if she was entering a completely strange world.
Emily was welcomed by a school teacher, who was extremely kind. Noticing Emily's uneasiness and shyness, he decided to give her a tour of the campus first. Emily was shown the art studio, the well-equipped library, and the expansive football field where she thought about joining the cheerleading team. As they walked around, Emily slowly realized that the school was actually quite charming and started to feel a bit more at ease.
Finally, they reached the academic building and made their way to Emily's new classroom, and her heart began to race once again. The teacher led her to the door and gave her a reassuring smile.

Standing at the classroom door, Emily hesitated for a moment. She could hear the chatter of students inside, and her hands grew sweaty. With a final glance at the teacher, who nodded encouragingly, she pushed the door open. The room fell silent for a moment as everyone looked at her. But then, a girl with a warm smile stood up and said, "Hi! You must be Emily. We've been waiting for you." The friendly greeting eased the tension in the air. The other students soon followed suit, introducing themselves and asking her about New York.
As the class began, Emily felt a sense of relief wash over her. The classmates seemed friendly and eager to get to know her. She actively participated when she could, and her classmates were helpful whenever she had questions. Emily found herself engaged in interesting class discussions and started to see the potential for new friendships. She was excited to explore more of the school and welcome this new chapter of her life. She was ready to face the rest of the day with a more positive attitude. Although the move had been scary, it had also opened up new opportunities.
