Lakshmi grew up in India in the first half of the twentieth century, seeing many people around her who did not get enough food, were often sick and died young.
In the 1960s, she was asked to help manage a program to improve nutrition in her country. At that time, most advice on nutrition came from North American and European countries. Nutritionists suggested foods that were common and worked well for people who lived in these nations.
For example, they told poor Indian women to eat more meat and eggs and drink more orange juice. But Lakshmi knew this advice was useless in a country such as India. People there didn't eat such foods. They weren't easy to find. And for the poor, such foods were too expensive.Lakshmi knew that for the program to work, it had to fit Indian culture. So she decided to adjust the nutrition program. She first found out what healthy middle class people in India ate. She took note of the nutrients (营养物)available in those foods. Then she looked for cheap, easy-to-find foods that would provide the same nutrients.
She created a balanced diet of locally grown fruits, vegetables, and grains. These foods were cheap and could be cooked with simple equipment. Her ideas were thought unusual in the 1960s. For example, she insisted that a diet without meat could provide all major nutrients. Now we know she was right. But it took her continuous efforts to get others to finally accept her diet about 50 years ago. Because of Lakshmi's program, Indian children almost doubled their food intake. And many children who would have been hungry and ill grew healthy and strong.
24. Why did Lakshmi think European nutritionists' advice was useless
A. It worked well for European people.
B. It suggested too many foods for Indians.
C. It was not practical in India that time.
D. It included foods that didn't exist in India.
25. Lakshmi studied healthy middle class people's diet in order to .
A. find out nutrients in their food
B. learn about Indian culture
C. know about their eating habits
D. write a report on food nutrients
26. Lakshmi's balanced diet was considered unusual because people thought _________.
A. Athose foods were too cheap
B. it should include some meat
C. it provided all major nutrients
D it enabled kids to grow healthy
27. What can we infer about Lakshmi
A. She came from a rich family. B. She disliked middle class people.
C. She worked with European nutritionists. D. She was a determined scientist.
C
A European Union program is letting blind people experience famous paintings for the first time. It uses three dimensional (3 D) printing to re create famous paintings so they can be touched.
One painting printed with the new technology is Gustav Klimt’s “The Kiss”. It is a popular attraction at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, Austria. The painting shows a man and a woman standing in a field filled with flowers. They are wearing gold robes and have their arms around each other. The man leans down to kiss the woman.
Klimt finished the painting in 1908. Until now, people who had trouble seeing could not appreciate the artwork. But thanks to the reproduction they can touch the piece and feel the ridges and depressions. Andreas Reichinger started making 3 D versions of artworks in 2010. He said this reproduction was his most difficult project because the couple’s robes are so detailed.
Dominika Raditsch is a blind museum visitor. She touched the reproduction. As she moved her hands around it she said, “Exactly, can you see these There are so many details.” Raditsch said she can imagine what the pristine painting looks like when she touches the reproduction. “It’s somehow round. You can feel it. You can feel it. It comes with it. And in many places it’s so smooth. And then I think to myself: it probably shines too!” Raditsch said.
The Belvedere is not the only museum to have 3 D versions of its artworks. Some of the pieces at the Prado, in Madrid, Spain have reproductions that can be touched. But the piece in Vienna has one special part: It is made with widely available 3 D printing technology. That means one day, blind art fans anywhere in the world could download the source files and print the reproductions themselves.
28. Why did Reichinger say this reproduction was difficult to finish
A. The 3 D technology is not available. B. The original artwork was made in 1908.
C. Blind art fans can’t download the source. D. The painting was reproduced detailedly.
29. How did Raditsch feel when she first touched the reproduction
A. Awkward. B. Puzzled. C. Excited. D. Nervous.
30. What does the underlined word “pristine” in paragraph 4 mean
A. original. B. contemporary. C. permanent. D. subsequent.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. A European Union Program for Museum Visitors
B. 3 D Printing Lets the Blind Experience Famous Paintings
C How to Reproduce the World famous Paintings
D. A Special Museum for Art Fans in Vienna, Austria
D
“Is there a wife in a wife cake ” asked He Lixi, a local Cantonese.
“There is no actual wife in a wife cake, as it is just a traditional Hong Kong pastry (酥皮糕点),” answered Sensechat, a ChatGPT-like product, in fluent Cantonese.
He was impressed. Sensechat was the first artificial intelligence tool he had encountered that had a profound understanding of Cantonese language and culture. Many large language models (LLMs) from the mainland can’t recognize Cantonese accurately. Some Western-developed AI software can listen to Cantonese, but cannot speak it well.
Created by a Hong Kong company, Sensechat is the world’s first Cantonese LLM. Cantonese pronunciation uses lots of modal particles (语气助词), which usually go unnoticed by most AI tools, but Sensechat handles them effectively. Sensechat also handles written form of Cantonese.
Training an LLM takes efforts, said Cao Jianrong, the chair professor at the Department of Computing at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. It involves pre-training using extensive data, followed by fine-tuning (微调) with high-quality data. Later, more focused human input is needed to adjust the output of the LLM with local culture, ethics, morals, laws and other rules.
However, Cantonese web resources are limited in both quantity and quality. Most texts come from online forums and social media, and often contain low-quality language. Collecting clear speech data is also difficult, as many videos have background noise.
Despite the challenges, there’s a growing need for Cantonese-speaking AI. Nearly 120 million people worldwide speak the language, and 85.2 million are native Cantonese speakers. Without Cantonese AI tools, this population might face challenges using new technology in the future.
That’s why local tech companies like Sensechat are stepping up to create these tools. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government is also working with local universities to create Cantonese LLMs.
32. What can be learnt about Sensechat
A. It’s the first AI tool in Hong Kong.
B. It has an insight into Cantonese culture.
C. It focuses only on spoken Cantonese.
D. It’s designed to promote Cantonese food.
33. What challenge does the training of Sensechat meet
A. A lack of data. B. Complex moral rules.
C. Limited audience. D. Unclear training process.
34. Why is developing Cantonese-speaking AI important
A. To explore the future of LLMs.
B. To expand the Cantonese AI market.
C. To promote the Cantonese culture.
D. To meet the need of the Cantonese.
35. What does the text mainly talk about
A. An impressive breakthrough in AI research.
B. A growing demand for AI language tools.
C. An innovative AI tool for Cantonese language.
D. A challenging case of Cantonese LLM training.

72. 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。
In the golden mist of late summer, Frank and John, two inseparable friends, set off on an adventure they had particularly planned for weeks: a camping trip by the river. The air was filled with excitement as they packed their backpacks with essentials—tents, cookers, and a map, though they were confident in their knowledge of the area, having explored its boundaries since childhood.
As the sun began its fall, casting long shadows across the green landscape, they arrived at their chosen spot—a quiet bend in the river, far from civilization’s noisiness. They set up camp, and the crackling of the campfire and the gentle lapping of water against the shore were their only companions. Under a starry sky, they shared stories and dreams, unaware that their comfortable escape was about to take a dangerous turn.
The following morning, as they ventured deeper into the woods to gather firewood, the sky, which had been clear and blue, turned frightening, with heavy clouds gathering. In the distance, a low, powerful, rolling thunder echoed (回响) through the valley, a warning they should have noticed. Not frightened, they continued, their laughter now was drowned out by the growing roar(咆哮) of the river.
It happened swiftly. A wall of water, caused by the storm, rushed down the river, catching them off guard. In a heartbeat, their return path was cut off, the once familiar place was transformed into a maze (迷宫) of rushing currents and mudslides. Panic rose within them, but Frank, always the calmer of the two, remembered a survival tip from his father: “When lost or in danger, stay put if possible, assess your resources, and think reasonably.”
With the river too dangerous to cross, they came back to higher ground, seeking shelter beneath a rocky overhang. As the rain pounded down, they gathered together, their spirits dampened but not defeated. John remembered another crucial lesson: using natural resources for survival. He suggested they start a fire using dry leaves and branches they had collected before the storm and they managed to light a small flame, providing warmth and a light of hope.
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。
The new sunrise brought new challenges and opportunities for Frank and John to prove their courage.

The new sun rise brought new challenges and opportunities for Frank and John to prove their courage. They crafted fishing hooks from bent wires found among their scattered belongings, cleverly attaching them to flexible branches to catch fish in the running river. The day was also marked by tireless efforts to signal for help, arranging branches and rocks into massive arrows that pointed toward their location, hoping these markers would catch the eye of a passing aircraft. Frank, with his keen observation skills, noticed patterns in the helicopter search patterns, suggesting they move closer to the riverbank during flyovers, increasing their chances of being spotted.
The next day, as hope was beginning to fade, a rescue helicopter appeared. The bright clothes they had hung between trees and the persistent smoke from their controlled fire served as a signal in the wilderness. As they were airlifted to safety, Frank and John looked at each other, their eyes reflecting a newfound appreciation for life, friendship, and the power of preparation and quick thinking in the face of disaster. The adventure was also a reminder that even in the most unexpected and dangerous circumstances, there is always a way out — if one remains calm, resourceful, and never loses sight of hope.
