Dear Mrs Fairweather,
I would like you to know how sorry I am for my part in the accident at the Babingley cross-roads.

As a crowd was beginning to gather, I was advised to return to Sandringham House by a local Police Officer. I have since learned that you suffered a broken arm. I am deeply sorry about this injury.
I wish you a speedy recovery from a very distressing (痛苦的) experience.
Yours sincerely,
Philip

Since finishing my studies at Harvard and Oxford. I’ve watched one friend after another land high-ranking, high-paying Wall Street jobs. As executives with banks, consulting firms, established law firms, and major corporations, many are now well on their way to impressive careers. By society’s standards they seem to have it made.
On the surface, these people seem to be very lucky in life. As they left student life behind, many had a last drink at their cheap but friendly local bar, shook hands with longtime roommates, and moved out of small apartments into high buildings. They made reservations at restaurants where the cost of a bottle of wine ____58____ a college year’s monthly rent. They replaced their beloved old car with expensive new sports cars.
The thing is, a number of them have ____61____ that despite their success, they aren’t happy. Some ____62____ of unfriendly coworkers and feel sad for eight-hour workweeks devoted to tasks they hate. Some do not respect the companies they work for and talk of feeling tired and ____63____. However, instead of devoting themselves to their work, they find themselves working to support the lifestyle to which they have so quickly become accustomed .
People often speak of trying a more satisfying path, and in the end the idea of leaving their jobs to work for something they ____64____ or finding a position that would give them more time with their families almost always leads them to the same conclusion: it’s impossible. They have loans, bills, a mortgage to pay off , retirement to save for. They recognize there’s something ____65____ in their lives, but it’s hard to step off the track.
In a society that tends to ____66____ everything in terms of dollars and cents, we learn form a young age to consider the costs of our decisions in financial terms. But what about the personal and social costs involved in pursuing money over meaning These are exactly the kinds of us tend to ignore — and the very ones we need to consider most.

59. A. advertised B. witnessed C. admitted D. demanded
60. A. complain B. dream C. hear D. approve
61. A. calm B. guilty C. warm D. empty
62. A. let out B. turn in C. give up D. believe in
63. A. missing B. inspiring C. sinking D. shining
64. A. measure B. suffer C. digest D. deliver
Below are five instructions related to AI and seven specific examples. Choose the most suitable answer. (配对阅读。左栏是五则向AI提问的指引，右栏是7个具体的例子，请为每则指引匹配对应的例子。)
____65____ Don’t use general questions when you ask AI for instructions. Instead, ask it to give you clear steps. ____66____ Make no mistakes in your questions, or you may not get correct answers. ____67____ AI can answer questions about facts. But don’t try to ask it for other people’s private information. ____68____ If you are not happy with a painting or a song AI creates give it more instructions until you get what you like. ____69____ It’s better to tell AI who you are. In this way, you’ll get answers that meet your needs. A. If you are wondering about the population of Canada, questions like “What is the popular of Canada ” will not get you the correct answer. B. Instead of asking “How do I cook a meal ” you can say “What are the steps to make a pancake with a pan ” C. If you tell AI “Guess if I’m happy today,” it will fail to do it because it has no ability to judge human feelings. D. If you aren’t satisfied with the picture AI draws, give more requirements like “Please add a pink window and paint the walls yellow.” E. For a student who wants to improve his English reading, it is better to ask questions like “How can I improve my English reading as a Grade 9 student ” F. If you ask “Could you tell me the address of my desk-mate Mary ” AI will refuse to give you the answer because it is designed to protect people’s personal information. G. A question like “Will it be nice tomorrow for jogging outside ” should be changed into “What is the weather like tomorrow ”
D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）
Loves-agna
Lucy dreamed of hosting her own cooking show. Every day, she practiced making up recipes (食谱), hoping to make her brother Leo and mother smile with her dishes. Yet, she could never cook right one particular meal: Lasagna (千层面). Or should she say, Grandpa’s Famous loves-agna. Each time Lucy tried the dish, Leo would spit (吐) it out or her mother would push it around her plate.
People used to line up outside of Grandpa’s restaurant just to get a piece of it. Grandpa didn’t have a restaurant anymore, but he had given Lucy his recipe...without, however, telling her his secret ingredient (原料). He always said she had to figure it out by herself. What was the secret ingredient
Grandpa always told Lucy the same story she had already heard hundreds of times, “When you were very little, you tried my Lasagna. I turned my back for one minute...and you were covered in sauce and cheese! You threw a handful at me and yelled, ‘loves-on-yah! loves-on-yah’ I liked your name for it so much that I’ve called the recipe loves-agna ever since.”
For Grandpa’s birthday, Lucy decided to give him a surprise by making a perfect loves-agna. She followed the recipe carefully, but she failed again and again—too salty, too sweet, or too spicy. Frustrated, Lucy threw her chef’s hat down and left the kitchen. Lying on her bed, she suddenly had an idea.
Back in the kitchen, Lucy tore up the old recipe and put away her measuring spoons. Then she listened to her heart when cooking. Soon, the kitchen smelled wonderful.
The doorbell rang. Lucy hung up her apron (围裙). Leo set the table. Mom answered the door. The family sat down to eat, but everyone hesitated.
“Come on, everyone, eat,” Lucy said. “Don’t worry, it’s a new recipe.”
Relieved, Mom, Leo and Grandpa slowly started eating their food.
“It was delicious,” Mom said.
“I loved it,” Leo yelled, reaching for a second piece.
“You’ve found the secret ingredient, Lucy,” Grandpa said.
“But I didn’t even follow the recipe this time. I tore it up.”
“I never really followed the recipe either, Lucy,” Grandpa patted his chest and took another slice, “I always listen to my heart and cook with love, just like you did this time. When you use this special ingredient, loves-agna always turns out perfect.”
After hearing the words, Lucy felt ________ and learned that ________.
70. Lucy’s brother and mom didn’t love the Lasagna cooked by Lucy at first, did they
______________________________________________________
71. Why didn’t Grandpa tell Lucy the secret ingredient of his lasagna

73. What does the underlined word “an idea” in paragraph 4 refer to

After hearing the words, Lucy felt ________ and learned that ________.

Lily:Hey,Tom!What's that you're working on
Tom:Oh,hi Lily!I’m building a small robot for a science project.It's not perfect,but it's fun to figure out how everything works.
Lily:A robot That's impressive!What made you want to do that
Tom:I guess it's just curiosity.I've always wondered how machines think and move.It's fascinating
to see how technology can mimic(模仿)human actions. Lily:That's true.Curiosity really drives innovation,doesn't it
Tom: Absolutely.Think about it —every great invention started with someone asking,“What if ”
or “How does this work ”Curiosity is like the star that lights the fire of progress.
Lily:I never thought about it like that.But isn't curiosity sometimes risky Like,exploring unknown places or experimenting with new ideas
Tom: It can be,but that's part of the excitement.Without taking risks,we'd never achieve anything extraordinary.For example,scientists were curious about the structure of DNA,and that led to breakthroughs in medicine and genetics.
Lily: That's a good point.I guess curiosity isn't just about asking questions—it's about seeking answers,even when it's challenging.
Tom: Exactly.And it's not just about science.Curiosity helps us understand people,cultures and even ourselves.It's what makes life so interesting.
Lily: True.I've always been curious about why people behave the way they do.Maybe I should study psychology someday.
Tom: That's a great idea!Curiosity can lead you to your passion.Who knows You might even discover something new about the human mind.
Lily:Thanks,Tom.You've inspired me to embrace my curiosity more.Maybe I'll start by reading about psychology or even helping you with your robot!
Tom:That would be awesome!Curiosity is contagious,you know.The more we explore,the more we inspire others to do the same.
Lily:Agreed.Here's to staying curious and never stopping asking questions!
Tom:Cheers to that!
