A first-grade teacher from Suffolk, Virginia, found a way to teach her students black history by taking them
back in time to meet celebrated black figures. For each day of Black History Month, LaToya McGriff has dressed
up like a famous African-American pioneer(先驱) and taught her students about their significant contributions to
the U. S.
On Monday, February 3, she dressed up as the Virginian native Mary Jackson and began her creative class.
“She was a mathematician who worked as an aeronautical(航空的) engineer whom people referred to as a human
computer,” McGriff wrote on Facebook. She shared a photo of herself in the 1960s clothing, like Jackson would
have worn when she worked for NASA.
Jackson was one of the three“human computers” described in the book and film Hidden Figures, which
showed the African-American female mathematicians whose efforts helped put men on the moon.
Once McGriff started dressing up, she kept going. By February 18, McGriff's Black History Month lessons
were starting to gain attention online. She was interviewed by CBS News.
She said that the seeds for this project were planted in her years ago by a teacher who did something similar.
“That's what I remember—— having a teacher come dressed as a storybook character. Well, I could dress up as
a different figure, an African-American figure from the past or present so they can see themselves represented,”
McGriff said.
“My students will want to know who I will be tomorrow, because they want to know and prepare themselves
for it so that they can tell me something they know about the person,” she said.
McGriff said bringing history alive kept her students curious and asking questions, and she's hoping the
overall project would give them the confidence to know that, like these historic figures, they can be great, too.
24. What did LaToya McGriff do to teach black history
A. She took students to meet famous black people.
B. She dressed up as black pioneers for her lessons.
C. She asked students to act as historic black figures.
D. She watched movies about black mathematicians.

C. McGriff's experience of learning black history.
D. McGriff's teacher's creative teaching methods.
26. Which of the following best describes McGriff's students from the last two paragraphs
A. They are energetic and determined to face challenges.
B. They are curious and eager to learn new things.
C. They are creative and good at coming up with original ideas.
D. They are careful and focused on difficult tasks.
27. Why is McGriff carrying out the project

B. To introduce Black History Month to her students.
C. To encourage her students to trust themselves to do better.
D. To highlight big figures' contributions to the U. S.

The greeting from chatbots(聊天机器人) took me by surprise:“Hey, you.” I was expecting a“hello” or“hi”
statements of simple recognition.“Hey, you.” was more knowing, more familiar. Say it in a crowd, and you place
yourself and the other person in a comfortable kind of bubble. It's personal. But it came from a chatbot.
“Another day, another chat, right ” it continued, offering a small change to an old expression.
Praised for its speech, it responded modestly,“What can I say ” You could almost imagine it holding out its
hands with palms up and giving a shy smile. The conversational tone(声调) is almost strange. Your chatbot
sounds more human.
However, people are beginning to adapt to how chatbots speak and write and communicate. The study
analysed over 360,000 YouTube videos and 770,000 podcast(播客) clips released before and after the launch(发
布 ) ofChatGPT. Words like“meticulous” and“boast” have become more frequent in human speech. One
particular word,“delve”, stood out as a repeated term and has been described as a kind of“linguistic watermark”(语
言水印) ofAI's growing presence in spoken communication. The researchers call these“GPT words” and suggest
that humans are memorising them and using them in everyday speech more than ever before.
When SMS(短 信 ) first came, it changed the way we talk. Unlike writing paragraph-length responses, we
started talking in just a few words due to the character limit. This led many of us to develop a habit of speaking
with fewer words, and it continued from there. Now, while humans are feeding AI models, it turns out that we are
not just teaching robots, we are also copying from them. It's natural for humans to imitate(模仿) one another but
we' re now imitating machines.
28. What can be learned about chatbots from paragraph 1
A. They only use simple greetings like“hello” and“hi”.
B. They can use warm and personal expressions to greet users.
C. They are difficult for most people to communicate with.
D. They show little interest in talking with human beings.
29. Why does the author mention the chatbot's response“What can I say ”
A. To show its modesty and human-like tone.
B. To prove its ability to create new expressions.
C. To highlight its lack of original ideas.
D. To criticize its overuse of old sayings.
30. What can we know about“GPT words” according to the study
A. People began to use them after the study was carried out.
B. They are unique words that can be found in AI chat messages.
C. Their increased frequency shows AI's growing impact on human speech.
D. People prefer them so much that they no longer use old expressions.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. AI: A New Trend in Daily Communication
B. Humans Are Starting to Talk Like Chatbots
C. Chatbots’ Special Greeting and Humor
D. Imitation: A Basic Human Communication Skill
D
If you search for SingingDog on social media, you will see many short videos of dogs howling(嚎叫) along to
music they like. But do these dogs really understand music
Psychologist Aniruddh Patel from Tufts University and his team wanted to find out. Their new study shows
that some dogs can actually notice changes in pitch(音高) and change their howls to match.
The researchers got the idea from watching wolves howl together. In the wild, each wolf seems to try to use a
different tone. This creates a messy chorus that makes the group sound bigger and can scare away enemies.Some
wolf experts think wolves pay attention and change their pitch on purpose, but this is hard to test.
So Patel's team decided to study pet dogs. They asked dog owners to record their dogs howling to their
favorite songs. First, they recorded the dogs howling to the original song. Then, they recorded them howling to
versions of the song that were made higher and lower in pitch. This was to see how the dogs reacted to the
changes.
The team focused on two old dog breeds, Samoyeds and Shiba Inus, which are thought to be more closely
related to their wolf ancestors than modern dogs. To make the results more reliable, each dog had to howl at least
30 times(each howl at least 1 second long) for each version of the song.
All four Samoyeds in the study showed they could sense the pitch of the music. They consistently(持续地)
changed their howls to match the new key, though not perfectly.“They are trying to connect their own voice to what
they hear, rather than just letting out a fixed, natural response,” said Patel.
In contrast, the two Shiba Inus seemed unable to tell the differences in tone. Patel noted that genetic
differences between these ancient breeds might make some dogs more likely to adjust their howls than others.
These findings may help us understand how human music began. Some experts believe human singing
developed from the mouth control needed for speech. However, the fact that dogs can control their pitch without
learning to speak suggests that language may not have been a necessary first step for musical ability.
32. Why did the researchers play pitch-shifted songs to the dogs
A. To test their preference for different musical tones.
B. To see how they could change howls with pitch changes.
C. To compare the musical tastes of two dog breeds.
D. To check if they could follow the beat of the music.
33. What made the researchers choose Samoyeds and Shiba Inus
A. They are good at howling in different tones.
B. They respond more actively to human music.
C. Their owners offered to take part in the study.
D. They are genetically closer to wolves than other dogs.
34. What does the underlined word“breeds” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Types. B. Generations. C. Habitats. D. Ranks.
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. It has been proved that dogs actually have true musical talent.
B. Some experts believe human music originated from dog howling.
C. Dogs in the study were able to tell the differences between tones perfectly.
D. Human language and musical ability may have developed independently.

Dear fellow students,
第二节(满分 25 分)
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。
The storekeeper's voice shouted across the store as I hurried to put my shoes back on.“We don't carry those in
size 10. In fact, we don't carry any size 10 shoes for young ladies.”
My head sank lower as a warm redness spread across my face. My fun trip with girlfriends to try on new
saddle shoes(马鞍鞋) was no longer fun. Later, I complained to my parents about my big feet, but they told me my
feet were doing their job, supporting my body.“Besides, a nice tall girl like you would look ridiculous with tiny
little feet,” my mother added.
Growing up in a small town meant everyone knew my business. Neighbors, friends, even grocery clerks
remarked I was tall, broad, and had big feet. If I ever compared myself to others, my parents were quick to repeat
all the clichés(陈词滥调) ever known. I grew up with“beauty is as beauty does” and“beauty is only skin deep”.
So I tried to stand up straight, but I also always stood out. I thanked my appearance for making me aware of
the differences between what people said and their hidden inner thoughts. Someone might ask,“Oh, you’ re in
what grade now How nice!” while they' re thinking,“My gosh, she must be the tallest girl in her entire class.”My
intuition(直觉) and people skills developed as I grew.
Then in sixth grade, when I was the tallest girl in class and covered in mosquito bite scabs(疤), a“friend”
named Shelby cornered me on the playground underneath the shade trees. She told me every single thing she
didn't like about my appearance, starting with my skin's response to insect bites. In shock, I stood there and
listened to her angry observations about me and my body——I was too tall, my shoulders too wide, my wrists and
ankles too thick, and on and on. I was not sure how I responded, feeling alone, scared, and helpless.
注意:1.续写词数应为 150 个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After school, I hurried home to tell my mother what had happened.
Hearing what my mom said, I began to make a change.

Dear fellow students,
Good afternoon! I'm glad to stand here and share my thoughts.
Nowadays, busy with endless homework, a growing number of students seldom take part in sports. As a result,
their physical fitness declines. So important is regular exercise that it can never be ignored. Not only does it build
up our strength and keep us energetic, but it also helps us stay focused in class and relieve stress from study.
Therefore, I strongly suggest that we take action now. Why not start with simple steps, such as jogging in the
morning, playing ball games after school, or walking instead of taking the bus
Let's make exercise a daily habit and enjoy a healthier, more energetic life together. Thank you for your
attention!

参考范文
After school, I hurried home to tell my mother what had happened. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I poured
out Shelby's cruel words, sobbing that I hated my height, my big feet and my thick wrists. I buried my face in my
hands, wishing I could be small and ordinary like other girls. My mom pulled me into her warm arms, patted me on
my back and wiped away my tears. She softly said, "Your body is strong and beautiful. It's not looks that matter,
but your kindness and courage."
Hearing what my mom said, I began to make a change. I truly no longer felt ashamed of my height and big
feet. I stood straight and walked confidently, ignoring cold remarks. I paid more attention to my study and helped
others, making true friends. I finally understood that real beauty comes from within. Those so-called imperfections
became my strengths, making me more confident, independent and ready to face any challenge in life.

W: Oh, I don't know how to ski.
M: Is it the first time that you have come here to ski
W: Yes. It's even the first time I have seen the real white snow.
M: No kidding! Where are you from One of my friends is from Singapore, and there's no snow there. Are you a
Chinese
W: Yes. My family and I lived in Hainan, China before we came to America. We do not have snow in winter. It's
always sunny.
M: No wonder. I guess you must be a good swimmer, then.
W: You're right. Swimming is my favourite hobby. I enjoy the feeling in the water. But I simply don't know what to
do on the snow.
M: Don't worry. I'm sure you will learn it very soon. Now, keep bending while going down. OK. Move slowly. Do
just like what I do. Yes, great.
W: I see. Oh, I am not that nervous! Thank you. You are so kind. How I wish we could be friends.

W: Good morning, everyone! I hope everybody is having a good start of the week. Enjoy the sun as much as you
can because it won't last long! A group of clouds are expected to arrive on Tuesday morning, and rain will follow
by around three o'clock in the afternoon on the same day. The wet weather will continue until Thursday morning.
While the sun should appear again by noon on Friday, it is very possible that a storm will hit us later during the day.
So make sure you have your umbrella with you the whole week. The good news is that we will have great weather
this weekend thanks to some wind coming from the southeast. As for the temperature, it shall climb to 17 degrees
this afternoon. However, because of the rain, it will drop to between six and eight degrees by Tuesday, and remain
like that until the weekend. So stay warm and follow our updates!
