Walking home from school, I am enjoying my day. Each day I stop to hear music coming from the ivy (常春
藤). Sparrow (麻雀) song, a loud glorious sound. The ivy is pulsing below a leafless tree, decorating around the
lower trunk like a celebration. Nervous flittings, in and out, pecking at the branches. This ivy is a home for them,
harboring an entire flock. But this scene is no longer ubiquitous. Numbers have declined by almost 70% in the UK
since 1970. Sparrows make their homes near human places and finding a tree like this is a blessing. Happily, the
ivy is still full of chatter and twitter.
In Greek mythology, sparrows are sacred and often associated with the goddess Aphrodite, symbolizing true
love and spiritual connection. I wonder how many people look at sparrows and feel that depth of connection. All
birds live brightly in our imagination, connecting us to the natural world, opening up all kinds of creativity.
As I stand there, fluffed-up sparrows in conversation among themselves, there is a spark. Noticing nature is
the start of it all. Slow down to listen, to watch. Take the time, despite mountains of homework.
Take the time to observe nature, to immerse oneself in its patterns, structures, happenings and rhythms. It is
how mathematicians and scientists are nurtured. Alan Turing studied the patterns in nature: the arrangement of
petals on the flower, spots on a leopard and stripes on a zebra. He was looking for a mathematical formula (公式)
for the development of cells in living things. Nature sparks creativity. All we have to do is start with the question,
第 2页/共 14页
Why The way my mind whirrs and whirls in nature, or even when “daydreaming” is way more productive than the
work I do in school.
I consolidate myself by thinking and thinking while intensely watching the movements of sparrows. Who
knows where watching sparrows will lead
4. What do I do on the way home from school

C. Clean up the trunk. D. Observe the sparrows.
5. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 1 probably mean

6. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Greek mythology
A. To show the imagination of humans. B. To stress the significance of sparrows.
C. To introduce the power of Aphrodite. D. To demonstrate the diversity of species.

Elephants, the largest land mammals on the planet, are magnificent creatures and tourists rush to African
countries to see them. Due to very successful conservation efforts, the African elephant population in countries like
Kenya is growing. In the country’s popular Tsavo National Park, elephant numbers went from around 6,000 to
almost 15,000 in 2021.
While this is great news for conservationists, it’s not seen that way by farmers who live in between two parts
of the park. The human population has also expanded and this means that it affects elephants’ feeding and
migration areas. This has led to conflicts between humans and elephants, sometimes resulting in elephant deaths.
Now a new solution using honeybees has been found to keep the elephants away from farms. This unlikely
solution is part of a long-running project from the Save the Elephants organization. The sound of African
honeybees prevents elephants. Now yellow-painted beehive (蜂巢) fences protect some of the local plots. The
project is supporting 40 farmers whose crops are protected by 15 hives. Each of the hives is strung on a wire a few
meters off the ground. This protects them from insects and allows them to shake if they are disturbed by an
elephant, which starts the bees making sounds. This scares the elephant away.
A nine-year study monitored 26 farms that were protected by the beehive fences in two villages near the park.
第 3页/共 14页
During the peak growing seasons — November to January from 2014 to 2020 — 3,027 elephants approached the
fences and most were prevented. During the drought of 2017, which reduced the number of bees in the hives by 75
percent, elephants were still prevented 76 percent of the time.
Save the Elephants is now promoting beehive fences in 15 countries in Africa and Asia. But besides
preventing elephants, the beehive fences can provide other benefits to communities. Bees provide pollination (授粉)
services which can increase crop production and honey from the hives that farmers can sell to increase their income.
While this solution isn’t perfect, and is subject to the negative effects of climate change and drought, it does
show that elephants and humans can share the land without conflicts.
8 What can be known from the first two paragraphs
A. Some farmers in Kenya hunt elephants for a living.
B. Kenya’s elephant conservation efforts hardly pay off.
C. The rise in elephant populations is actually a two-edged sword.
D. The expanding human population makes elephants endangered.
9. What’s the author’s main purpose in listing the figures in paragraph 4
A. To show the popularity of beehive fences.
B. To demonstrate the effectiveness of beehive fences.
C. To emphasize the large number of bees living in Africa.
D. To display the effect of climate change on the novel solution.
10. Which statement about beehive fences will the author probably agree with
A. They fail to meet the farmers’ expectations.
B. They turn out to be the original creations of local farmers.
C. They bring about economic benefits by boosting tourism.
D. They contribute to the coexistence of humans and elephants.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Growth of African Elephant Population
B. The Importance of Saving African Elephants
C. Impacts of Climate Change on Elephant Habitat
D. Innovative Solution to Elephant-Human Conflict

If you ask ChatGPT what it thinks about Black people, it’ll use words like “ambitious” and “intelligent”. Other
forms of generative AI — which almost seem to think for themselves — will do the same. However, when you
ask these AI tools what they think about people who use African American English, they tend to use words like
“suspicious” “aggressive” and “ignorant.”
Valentin Hofmann at the University of Oxford is part of a team that has just shared these new findings. This
hidden racism (种族歧视) in AI models mirrors the prejudice present in modern society, her team says. In the past,
Black people faced more open racism. It often showed up as unfair laws or acts of violence. Today, that prejudice
can be more secret. People may claim not to see skin color — but still hold racist beliefs, the study authors write.
Their new evidence shows that chatbots do the same. And such hidden prejudice, they say, could cause serious
harm.
The new study builds on a series of experiments conducted in 1933, 1951, 1969 and 2012. In those studies,
one group of people had to choose five words that described different racial groups from a list of 84 words. A
separate group of people rated those words on a scale that ran from -2 (least favorable) to +2 (most favorable).
“Cruel,” for example, got a rating of -1.81. “Brilliant” was rated 1.86. Gradually, words that participants in these
experiments chose to describe Black people became more positive. In 1933, those terms were rated roughly -1819.
2012, they ranked just above zero.
For its new study, the team used a similar setup to test AI models for open — or obvious — racism. They
also used it to test for hidden racism. The team found that hidden prejudices show even in AI models released in the
last few years although those models are trained by peck intentionally trying to scrub racism in the chatbots’
responses.
Tech companies had hoped that having people review AI-written text would reduce chatbot racism, says Siva
Reddy, a computational linguist at MeGill University in Montreal, Canada. The idea was that AI racism would be
caught and corrected while models were still being trained. “And find all these problems and put patches (补丁) to
the AI,” Reddy says. “But more research needed to sort out how people can identify prejudices deeply rooted in
society — and, as a result these models. Only then can we create truly unprejudiced AI rather than AI that just
finds ways to hide its racism.”
12. What has Valentin Hofmann’s team found about ChatGPT and other AI tools
A. They are able to think for themselves. B. They show some hidden racial prejudice.
C. They have a preference for complex words. D. They judge a person by the color of their skin.
13. What do the experiments mentioned in paragraph 3 show
第 5页/共 14页
A. Black people took negative words lightly.
B. Black people’s social class has been on the rise.
C. People’s attitude to Black people changed with time.
D. People became more and more friendly to each other.
14. What does the underlined word “scrub” in paragraph 4 most probably mean
A Clean up. B. Pay attention to. C. Figure out. D. Lose sight of.
15. What do Reddy’s words in the last paragraph mainly focus on
A. How to create truly unprejudiced AI. B. How to solve problems related to AI.
C. The meaning of identifying hidden racism. D. The importance of developing unprejudiced AI.

Want your flower garden to look like those at the Botanical Garden Here are some tips.
How do you arrange a flower garden
Like most things, your best bet is to keep it simple. Use large blocks of color in your home flower garden.
Keep in mind that annuals require care and even the hardiest need to be watered and fertilized. ____16____
How often do you need to water a flower garden
Water your flower garden immediately after planting annuals, and keep an eye on them for the next week or so.
____17____ If it rains, you may still need to water them because sometimes it doesn’t soak (浸透) the ground. If
you’re unsure, stick your finger in the soil at the base of the plant, and feel if it is wet or dry.
____18____
Visit your local garden store that sells well-grown annuals that are in either flats or 4-inch pots. Most of the
time the vigorous (茁壮的) plants that do well are in 4-inch pots. Growing from seed can be fun in the back of the
garden, but when you are really counting on color, buy plants.
How do you prepare the soil before planting flowers
____19____ You may have to apply some efforts to get the dirt in good enough shape to plant annuals. The
most important tip is to dig up your soil with a shovel (铲) to make sure it’s loose and soft. Try for 6 to 8 inches
deep. ____20____ If you have to chip away at the soil to plant your flowers, you are in for an uphill battle in which
you will not win.
A. What flowers are best for a flower garden
第 6页/共 14页
B. So your flower bed should be near water outlets.
C. If you can’t dig with your hands, the soil is not ready.
D. Once the annuals are established, water two times a week.
E. Should you plant seeds or use potted plants for a flower garden
F. Soil preparation starts with knowing the soil type that’s native to your area.
G. If you add organic matter occasionally, your garden should be in good condition.

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
I’m pretty good at sticking with things even when they get hard. Bad relationships, unpleasant workplaces,
___21___ sports — I’ve hung on for months and even years longer than I should have, convinced the situation
would ___22___ if I refused to give up.
After all, isn’t every success story littered with ___23___ Didn’t Beyoncé lose Star Search, and didn’t Oprah
get fired from her first TV job Quitting is a sign that you lack patience and strong will, or so I was raised to
believe.
___24___, if I look back on all the things I eventually quit, my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. I’ve
wasted immeasurable time and energy dragging my heels, determined that I could ___25___ everyone if I just kept
going.
All of us are constantly making tricky choices between going further into familiar territory and ___26___ to
expand our horizons. This is known as the exploration-exploitation trade-off. When we are younger it’s
advantageous to go far on the side of exploration, trying lots of new things because we have plenty of time to
___27___ later. But as we age, it’s often smarter to double down.
Of course, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t quit something just because you’ve put a lot of time into it.
Economists call this the sunk cost fallacy (谬误): People are more likely to ___28___ something if they’ve invested
a lot of money or effort into it, even when it’s clear that they should ___29___ their losses and jump ship. This
practice is normal and ___30___, but it’s also unreasonable. If an activity or relationship is making you miserable,
that’s important information you shouldn’t ignore.
If you don’t get energy out of doing something, it can be a(n) ___31___ that this is not for you or that there’s
something better you could be doing. Or it could be a sign that you should ___32___ your goals. Maybe your

yogurt startup might not win over investors, but you could still make and sell yogurt at the farmers’ market on
weekends.
In fact, dogged persistence in the face of energy-sucking disappointment can ___33___ depression, and then
make you suffer from diseases in the long run.
But the good news is that people can learn to pay better attention to these moments when they’re happening
and make ___34___. The art of quitting isn’t about just letting go whenever there’s an obstacle. It’s about being
able to let go when there’s no ___35___ to success anymore.

meat, and the soup base is usually clear and tasteless. It has no mouth-watering hotpot soup but plain water

第 9页/共 14页
When I was in middle school, my family moved to Seattle, where my parents started their new business — a
small grocery store downstairs my house. As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into
the sophisticated city life.
One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were
encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of
excitement fed the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a
desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.”
Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day,
Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class.
“How about singing together in the talent show ” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back
home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity,
acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune.
“You two The talent show for the food bank ” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.”
Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs I bet you’ll be a perfect match.”
Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike.
Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas
and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the
performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform.

【答案】Dear Alec,
I’m writing to share with you a mini-marathon I participated in last Saturday. It was an exciting and
meaningful experience I’ll ever forget.
The race was 5 kilometers long, which was quite a challenge for a running beginner like me. Determined to
have a good match result, I trained hard for a month before the event, running every morning to prepare for it. On
the day of the event, inspired by the energetic runners and enthusiastic atmosphere, I kept on maintaining a steady
pace and encouraging myself and I managed to complete the event successfully.
Not only does this mini-marathon build my body and character, but it also teaches me the importance of
efforts and perseverance. I’m really proud of myself for completing it.
Do you have similar experiences Looking forward to your sharing.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
