Friends Yuri Williams and Rodney Smith Jr. spend the weeks leading up to Christmas crossing the country. They visit kids who are sick or disabled, arriving with plenty of toys. In past years, Williams has dressed as various superheroes, while Smith dresses up as a Christmas fairy.
Though Williams has been spreading joy this way for years, the stimulus came from a joyless place. In 2009, he lost his mother to cancer and fell into a five-year depression. But he dug himself out by honoring his mother’s memory through charitable acts, including collecting gifts for children with special needs. Williams launched his nonprofit, A Future SuperHero and Friends, in 2018. His goal is to bring smiles to children with health challenges, including those fighting life-threatening conditions.
“He was the first person to put a smile on AJ’s face,” says Katrina Morris about her son, who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of two. “I will never forget that day.”
Williams and Smith start their gift-giving journey by driving through the 48 states before flying to Alaska and Hawaii. Along the way, they stock up on toys, funded by donations through the Future SuperHero website. People nominate families for the pair to visit by filling out an online form, explaining why the family deserves a visit. But they often dip into Williams’s own savings as well. Even more important than the gifts they bring, Williams and Smith spend time with the people who need it most — and that’s not just the children. “The parents seem more excited than the kids sometimes,” Williams told KTVQ News after a visit to Billings, Montana, last year.
The pair say they want to make sure families facing tough battles never feel alone. It’s what keeps them going, even when they barely get any sleep in the process. “Every day, I get to wake up and do what I love,” Smith says. “I can’t go wrong with that.” “I don’t look to get paid to do this,” Williams adds. “It’s just healing for me for losing my mother, just keeping her name alive by doing this.”
24. What motivated Willams to start his charitable work
A. The need of relieving his depression.
B The wish to inspire others to volunteer.
C. The desire for honoring his late mother.
D. The hope of gaining support for his nonprofit.
25. What does the underlined word “nominate” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Favour. B. Invite. C. Register. D. Recommend.
26. Why do Williams and Smith spend time with families during visits
A. To deliver gifts to children.
B. To make the families feel cared for.
C. To understand the families’ struggles.
D. To raise money for their organization.
27. How does Williams feel about his work
A It is exhausting and brings him money.
B. It is challenging and makes him social.
C. It is comforting and gives him purpose.
D. It is enjoyable and wins him friendship.
C
Polar bears have a hidden-in-plain-sight superpower that has long been known to Indigenous peoples of the Arctic, but only now has been noticed and studied by scientists.
Bodil Holst at the University of Bergen in Norway is a physicist who studies the properties of surfaces. Her interest in polar bear fur began when, while watching a TV quiz programme, she saw that the bears hardly show upon infrared (红外线的) cameras because they are so well insulated (被隔热的). That means the temperature of their outer fur is below freezing, Holst realised, but she had never seen a polar bear in wildlife films that was coated with ice, even after swimming in sub-zero waters. “And then I thought, well, how come freezing is not a problem ” she says.
This is, after all, a problem for many other land mammals in cold environments. Holst asked researchers at the Norwegian Polar Institute if they knew why polar bear fur doesn’t ice up. None did, but they decided to investigate together. Holst and her colleagues obtained samples of polar bear fur from the wild and compared them with human hair. They found that the force required to remove ice from polar bear hair was a quarter of what was needed for human hair.
Washing polar bear fur removed its ice resistance, suggesting that the oily coating on the hairs, known as sebum (皮脂), is the key to its properties. This substance lacks squalene (角鲨烯) but contains some unusual fatty acids which could be unique to polar bears, but we need further studies to look at the composition of animal sebum, says Holst.
Arctic peoples have traditionally used the fur in ways that make use of its ice-resistant properties. For instance, Inuit hunters in Greenland have placed small pieces of polar bear fur under the legs of the benches to stop them sticking to ice. They also strapped polar bear fur to the soles of boots while tracking animals, to avoid the noise made by ice-coated surfaces.
Holst’s team is now exploring potential applications, such as creating environmentally friendly ski waxes that contain no long-lasting fluorocarbon (碳氟化合物) currently used to prevent icing. A hair wax based on polar bear sebum could also help people who work in cold environments. “I had not thought about that application, but absolutely, that should work,” says Holst.
28. What made Holst curious about polar bear fur
A. Polar bear’s low inner body temperature.
B. Polar bear’s invisibility on infrared cameras.
C. Polar bear’s resistance to sub-zero environments.
D. Polar bear’s appearance in a TV quiz programme.
29. How did Holst and her colleagues carry out their research
A. By keeping track of polar bears in the Arctic.
B By contrasting polar bear fur with human hair.
C. By removing polar bear fur’s warming function.
D. By observing Arctic peoples using polar bear fur.
30. What contributes to the ice resistance of polar bear fur
A. Its physical properties. B. Its similarity to human hair.
C. Its oily coating called sebum. D. Its unique squalene composition.
31. Which of the following is the potential application of polar bear fur
A. Designing non-stick boots. B. Making noise-reducing coats.
C. Creating heat-resistant benches. D. Developing ice-free hair products.
D
People have been using OpenAI’s GPT-4o to generate Ghibli-style illustrations, landscapes, portraits and even events from history and current affairs. While it may seem entertaining, it could be a key test for copyright (版权) 。
Unlike with some previous AI controversies, the company is not promising to add new controls to stop its generator from ripping off (窃取) an artistic style or to stop people from using controversial subjects. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s only concern seems to be the stress it’s putting on the company’s GPUs as the number of weekly active users rose by 11%. “It’s super fun seeing people love images in ChatGPT... But our GPUs are melting,” he wrote.
Like some other companies, OpenAI applied restrictions in previous versions of its AI image generators to prevent imitations of the styles of living artists or the portraits of real people. but GPT-4o’s ability to clearly imitate the Ghibli style would appear to suggest OpenAI has cast such measures aside.
In a technical paper, OpenAI claims that it’s still taking a “conservative approach” to image rights by including a refusal that activates “when a user attempts to generate an image in the style of a living artist”. But it seems it’s now only applying that to individual artists, not studios. So while GPT-4o should, in theory, refuse to generate an image if the prompt (提示词) asks for the style of Hiyao Mayazaki, it will accept a prompt that asks for the style of Studio Ghibli.
The change is curious given that companies can also own copyright and they’re more likely to have the resources to be able to take legal action. It may be that OpenAI believes that it would be more difficult for a studio to prove ownership over a style. Legal experts argue that a “style” cannot be copyrighted, so the question is whether GPT-4o images use elements of existing works of art.
OpenAI now has license arrangements with some companies to allow it to use their content to train its AI models. There has been no statement from either OpenAI or Studio Ghibli about whether this is the case.
32. What is Sam Altman’s worry about GPT-4o
A. Its impact on copyright issues. B. Its GPU pressure from user growth.
C. Its inability to control the art imitation. D. Its failure to block controversial topics.
33. What restriction does GPT-4o apply to images
A. It forbids copying studio styles. B. It bans imitating specific living artists.
C. It limits the number of images per day. D. It prevents the artworks of real people.
34. Why is GPT-4o’s generation of Ghibli-style images allowed
A. Studio Ghibli can hardly prove its copyright.
B. OpenAI has agreements with Studio Ghibli.
C. Ghibli-style images boost user engagement.
D. Studio Ghibli doesn’t take any legal action.
35. What is the passage mainly about
A. GPT-4o raises art copyright issues.
B. OpenAI faces tech challenges with GPT-4o.
C. OpenAI removes all restrictions on AI imagery.
D. AI-generated art is dominating the artistic world.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。
Brandon was the youngest in his family, and more than anything, he wished to be treated like a responsible grown-up. One afternoon, he went to the pet store with his mother and two older brothers, Isaiah and Matt. Isaiah needed food for his bunny, and Matt was looking for a new toy for his bird. While they wandered through the aisles, Brandon stood still in front of a large glass tank. Inside, a red-and-blue-striped fish swam gracefully through the water, while tiny bubbles floated up to the surface. Brandon leaned closer to the glass and asked eagerly, “May I have a pet ”
His brothers burst out laughing. “You’re too little,” they said. Even Mom smiled gently and explained that keeping a pet was a big responsibility. “It takes more than excitement,” she said. “You have to be gentle, neat, and dependable.” Brandon’s face fell for a moment, but then he stood straight. “I can be all those things,” he insisted.
As soon as they returned home, Brandon set to work. The bedroom he shared with Matt was usually a mess. He picked up his blocks, parked his toy cars neatly, and stacked his books in order. He even folded his pajamas and made the bed. Proud of his effort, he whispered to himself, “I can be neat.”
Later that day, Uncle Jay came over with his baby cousin Rubie. But Rubie was crying nonstop, her tiny face red and tear-streaked. Brandon knelt beside her blanket and softly hummed a tune. He hid his face with his hands. “Peekaboo,” Brandon said, lowering his hands. Rubie stopped crying. When Uncle Jay asked for her bottle, Brandon hurried to the kitchen, carefully checking the diaper bag. He returned, holding the bottle upright. Uncle Jay asked Brandon to feed Rubie.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Brandon gently held Rubie and kept the bottle steady.

66. Dear Principal,
I am Li Hua from Senior 2. I am writing to present my thoughts about the collective physical activity during the morning break, which currently fails to meet students’ diverse needs.
Currently, jogging and gymnastics are causing a decline in enthusiasm due to lack of engagement. I suggest offering varied options to boost motivation. We should encourage team sports like basketball and volleyball, which many students enjoy. Additionally, Tai-chi could be offered for those preferring gentle exercises, and dancing to lively music could be a fun release. This would improve fitness and make breaks more enjoyable.
I would deeply appreciate it if our school could take these ideas into consideration and create a more vibrant and inclusive break-time environment.
Yours sincerely
Li Hua

Brandon gently held Rubie and kept the bottle steady. Rubie drank quietly, her eyes locked on his face. “You’re so gentle with her,” Mom whispered, watching from the doorway. Brandon smiled, staring at the tiny white bubbles floating in Rubie’s bottle, remembering his wish and her words about being “dependable.” When Rubie finished, he patted her softly, earning a nod of approval from Uncle Jay. As he handed Rubie back, Mom added, “You’ve proven something today.” Her tone hinted at a secret, making Brandon’s heart race.
The next afternoon, Brandon returned from school greeted by a big surprise. Waiting on the table was a small fish tank, bubbling softly. “Happy early birthday,” Dad said. “You’ve shown us you’re ready.” Brandon’s eyes widened with joy. He knew exactly which fish he wanted — the red-and-blue-striped one. The next day, they brought it home. Every morning, he fed it and checked the water carefully. Looking at the rising bubbles, Brandon smiled. He had earned more than a pet — he had earned trust, and taken his first real step toward growing up.
