When Ariel Cordova-Rojas rode her bike to Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens，New York，last November，she planned to go hiking and bird-watching.Bingo!
A mile into her walk，she spotted a beautiful female mute swan(疣鼻天鹅) near the water’s edge.Cordova-Rojas,30，who had worked at the Wild Bird Fund recovery center in Manhattan，knew that mute swans can be battlesome.But as she approached this one，it didn’t move.She was certain that the bird needed medical attention.Cordova-Rojas placed her jacket over the bird’s head to keep it calm，carefully picked it up，and held it in her arms.And then a thought struck her: What do I do now
Her best bet was the recovery center，but that was across the East River and clear on the other side of town.How was she going to transport a 17-pound swan on her bike all that way Luckily，some strangers driving by offered her，her bike，and the swan a lift to a nearby subway station.She worried others might be disturbed.However，on the subway，no one seemed particularly fazed by the feathered passenger.One guy，says Cordova-Rojas，was “sitting right in front of me on his phone.I don’t know if he noticed there was a swan in front of him”．
Cordova-Rojas called the recovery center，and Tristan Higginbotham，an animal-care manager，picked her up at the subway station and drove bird，bike，and the rescuer to the facility.There，staff members determined that the swan might have lead poisoning.
The staff got the swan back up on her feet.She even made a boyfriend at the center—another injured swan.Sadly，even with all that tender loving care，the swan fell ill with a bacterial infection.Two months after Cordova-Rojas came to her rescue，she passed away.
It’s a disappointing ending，but the real story is just how far some people are willing to go to save a swan in the big city literally.In all，Cordova-Rojas traveled two hours by foot，car，and subway (with her bike)．“That’s the perfect summary of who she is，” says Higginbotham.
24．How did Cordova-Rojas know the swan was in trouble
A．She noticed a scar on the swan.
B．She found the swan trapped in water.
C．The swan was behaving in an abnormal way.
D．The swan attacked her when she came near it.
25．What does the underlined word “fazed” in paragraph 3 mean
A．On top of the world.
B．In the wrong.
C．On the rocks.
D．At a loss.
26．How was the swan’s life at the recovery center
A．The swan enjoyed its staying there.
B．Many people came to visit the swan.
C．The swan suffered a lot of pain there.
D．The swan’s life there was totally disappointing.
27．What sort of person was Cordova-Rojas
A．Curious and generous.
B．Caring and thoughtful.
C．Energetic and independent.
D．Sensible and straightforward.
C
AI is getting better and better at creating illustrations，musics，movies，stories and more.Tools that have risen sharply(急剧地) in popularity since late 2022 are changing the way people create content.AI can help jumpstart a person’s creativity by offering countless ideas，almost immediately.
Kevin Baragona is the founder of Deep AI in San Francisco，California.It’s one of several AI tools people can use to generate(产生) artworks or writing in many different styles.“We’re pretty popular among the artistic community where people use us to inspire their own art，” he says.
Deep AI also makes possible entirely new types of content.Baragona says you’ll soon be able to generate Hollywood-quality movies to fit your tastes.“And the same thing with audio(音频)，”he adds.“We’ll generate music just for you.It’s going to be pretty cool.”
Not everyone is happy about AI’s introduction into artistic fields，though.Some artists and writers are against their work being used to train AI models without their permission(允许)．And in 2023，Hollywood screenwriters and actors went on strike(罢工)，partially because of concerns about how AI-generated writing and acting could change the movie business.These walkouts ended up getting some limits about how AI can be used to write scripts(剧本) and describe actors and characters.
As people get used to AI and society establishes guidelines for its use，we might become more welcoming about its place in art.For example，consider the game of chess.AI can defeat the strongest human grandmasters at the game，yet people still play and compete.They now use AI to train and to develop new strategies.Chess is more popular than ever，and AI may be part of the reason.Visual artist Matt Saunders told the Harvard Gazette newspaper，“We should be thankful to be challenged and knocked out of our habits！”
28．What does the underlined word “jumpstart” mean in paragraph 1
A．Promote. B．Kill.
C．Lower. D．Imitate.
29．What do we know about Deep AI according to Kevin Baragona
A．Many artists may find it helpful.
B．Many artists feel challenged by it.
C．It is famous for Hollywood movies.
D．It is owned by an artistic community.
30．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．Limits on using AI.
B．Reasons for a strike.
C．Negative attitudes to AI.
D．Worries about losing jobs.
31．What might be the author’s attitude toward using AI
A．Unclear. B．Supportive.
C．Doubtful. D．Objective.
D
Florida has some of the best beaches in the world.Thousands of people visit the state to enjoy the sun and the sand.But these beaches are also home to sea turtles.Female sea turtles come from the ocean and onto these beaches at night.They dig a hole，lay many eggs，and cover their eggs with sand.They use their fins(脚蹼) to crawl back across the beach and return to the ocean.However，the creatures have a hard time on beaches now.
Local volunteers and researchers in Florida take direct action to help the turtles.They look closely at the large area of sand to locate where the sea turtles laid their eggs.When they’ve figured out where the eggs were laid，they mark the beach off so that no one can enter the area and disturb the eggs.They also collect information about the nests and tracks to help scientists study sea turtles.
Another problem for sea turtles is the quick urbanization(城市化) near beaches.Bright lights on buildings near the beach can negatively impact sea turtles.Baby sea turtles usually hatch(出壳) on the sandy beach and head to the ocean.When there is bright light coming from the other side of the shore far from the ocean，the baby turtles get confused.They do not know which way to go.Many of them do not make it to the ocean and die.Now，residents who live close to a beach try to turn off their lights at night as early as possible.
Many people believe the best way to save these creatures is through organizations like the Marine Conservancy.The Marine Conservancy helps people take steps that will help reduce the threats that put sea turtles in danger.Sometimes，turtles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish(水母)．They eat this trash and die.Florida residents can volunteer for beach clean-ups and make sure to pick up their own litter.However，sea turtles are still starving because of overfishing and climate change.These days，the organization aims to help the creatures find a new source of food by planting seagrass underwater.
32．How did volunteers help sea turtles
A．By increasing the size of beaches.
B．By tracking sea turtles’ movements.
C．By taking sea turtles’ eggs to the lab.
D．By limiting human entry to certain beaches.
33．Why is light pollution harmful to sea turtles in Florida
A．It may delay their normal growth.
B．It may harm their ability to reproduce.
C．It may disturb their hunting activities.
D．It may make them lose their sense of direction.
34．What might be the theme of the Marine Conservancy these days
A．Feeding sea turtles.
B．Cleaning up water pollution.
C．Fighting against overfishing.
D．Providing more habitats for sea turtles.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．Why Sea Turtles in Florida Face Survival Threats
B．How Residents Help Protect Sea Turtles in Florida
C．A Protection Organization Works to Improve Local Beaches
D．Florida Tries to Keep a Balance Between Urbanization and Protection

World Wildlife Day is celebrated each year on March 3rd.This is a day that has the goal of informing the general public about the plants and wild animals in the world.So you can do many things to celebrate this day.
As we all know，litter can be harmful to birds，fish，and other wildlife.Therefore，make an effort to pick up any litter that you see. 36
You can visit an aquarium or zoo near you，because aquariums and zoos help a lot with endangered species，allowing their populations to increase. 37 Thus，World Wildlife Day is the perfect day to pay a local aquarium or zoo a visit.
If possible，try to learn about the plants and wild animals near you.You can do some research about local wildlife.You can also research some of the threats to these plants and wild animals. 38 For example，if one of the primary threats an animal faces is litter，be sure to deal with it properly，and pick up any litter you see.
If you like，you can plant a garden with native tree，bush and flower species. 39 To plant them in the garden accordingly，it is necessary to do some research beforehand on trees，bushes and flowers that are native to your area and where they would grow best.
40 There are a variety of organizations that help wildlife in different ways.If you have a specific species that you’d like to support，or even if you’d just like to help wildlife in general，there might be an organization somewhere that you can join and assist with their efforts.
A．Every year，there is a theme for World Wildlife Day.
B．If the threat they face is caused by human，try to help reduce it.
C．These may be the only places to find certain endangered animals.
D．Additionally，it’s a good way to join an organization that helps wildlife.
E．These can help provide wild animals with a place where they can shelter.
F．Databases online can help us find the plants which are native to our area.

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。
I was busily preparing for our Saturday night barbecue(烧烤)，a weekly tradition that brought our family together.Suddenly，our daughter Rikki stormed in through the front door，her face clouded with anger.Without a word，she marched straight to her room，leaving me with a sense of anxiety.
I looked out of the window and saw her classmate Lexi walking away sadly.My mother’s intuition(直觉) told me that this situation might need some gentle guidance.So I called Rikki out to the kitchen，hoping to start a conversation about what had happened.
Rikki stood before me with a stubborn look on her face，the kind that kids get when they know they’ve done something wrong but are too proud to admit it.“I noticed that Lexi came over，but she didn’t stay long，” I said gently.“She’s your age and goes to the same school as you.Why doesn’t she stay longer？”
Rikki said，“I don’t like her，I wish she would stop coming over here all the time.She dresses terrible，and sometimes she doesn’t smell good.”
I sighed and said，“That’s not her fault，Rikki.Maybe she doesn’t have anyone to help her with things like that.Some kids don’t have the extra things that you and your friends have.But that doesn’t make the many less worthy than you.Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and respect.”
Rikki nodded but her expression didn’t change.Her father had been watching from the backyard where he was grilling(烧烤)．He didn’t like the way Rikki had treated Lexi，so he decided to take action.He came over to me and said，“Let’s go and see Lexi.” Then he called Rikki over and asked her to get in the car.Together we drove straight to Lexi’s house.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
At Lexi’s house，Rikki was shocked to see how different her life was.
Rikki invited Lexi to come over and have dinner with us.

When Ariel Cordova-Rojas rode her bike to Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens，New York，last November，she planned to go hiking and bird-watching.Bingo!
A mile into her walk，she spotted a beautiful female mute swan(疣鼻天鹅) near the water’s edge.Cordova-Rojas,30，who had worked at the Wild Bird Fund recovery center in Manhattan，knew that mute swans can be battlesome.But as she approached this one，it didn’t move.She was certain that the bird needed medical attention.Cordova-Rojas placed her jacket over the bird’s head to keep it calm，carefully picked it up，and held it in her arms.And then a thought struck her: What do I do now
Her best bet was the recovery center，but that was across the East River and clear on the other side of town.How was she going to transport a 17-pound swan on her bike all that way Luckily，some strangers driving by offered her，her bike，and the swan a lift to a nearby subway station.She worried others might be disturbed.However，on the subway，no one seemed particularly fazed by the feathered passenger.One guy，says Cordova-Rojas，was “sitting right in front of me on his phone.I don’t know if he noticed there was a swan in front of him”．
Cordova-Rojas called the recovery center，and Tristan Higginbotham，an animal-care manager，picked her up at the subway station and drove bird，bike，and the rescuer to the facility.There，staff members determined that the swan might have lead poisoning.
The staff got the swan back up on her feet.She even made a boyfriend at the center—another injured swan.Sadly，even with all that tender loving care，the swan fell ill with a bacterial infection.Two months after Cordova-Rojas came to her rescue，she passed away.
It’s a disappointing ending，but the real story is just how far some people are willing to go to save a swan in the big city literally.In all，Cordova-Rojas traveled two hours by foot，car，and subway (with her bike)．“That’s the perfect summary of who she is，” says Higginbotham.
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了30岁的科尔多瓦·罗哈斯偶遇一只受伤的疣鼻天鹅，并对其实施救助的故事。

AI is getting better and better at creating illustrations，musics，movies，stories and more.Tools that have risen sharply(急剧地) in popularity since late 2022 are changing the way people create content.AI can help jumpstart a person’s creativity by offering countless ideas，almost immediately.
Kevin Baragona is the founder of Deep AI in San Francisco，California.It’s one of several AI tools people can use to generate(产生) artworks or writing in many different styles.“We’re pretty popular among the artistic community where people use us to inspire their own art，” he says.
Deep AI also makes possible entirely new types of content.Baragona says you’ll soon be able to generate Hollywood-quality movies to fit your tastes.“And the same thing with audio(音频)，”he adds.“We’ll generate music just for you.It’s going to be pretty cool.”
Not everyone is happy about AI’s introduction into artistic fields，though.Some artists and writers are against their work being used to train AI models without their permission(允许)．And in 2023，Hollywood screenwriters and actors went on strike(罢工)，partially because of concerns about how AI-generated writing and acting could change the movie business.These walkouts ended up getting some limits about how AI can be used to write scripts(剧本) and describe actors and characters.
As people get used to AI and society establishes guidelines for its use，we might become more welcoming about its place in art.For example，consider the game of chess.AI can defeat the strongest human grandmasters at the game，yet people still play and compete.They now use AI to train and to develop new strategies.Chess is more popular than ever，and AI may be part of the reason.Visual artist Matt Saunders told the Harvard Gazette newspaper，“We should be thankful to be challenged and knocked out of our habits！”

Florida has some of the best beaches in the world.Thousands of people visit the state to enjoy the sun and the sand.But these beaches are also home to sea turtles.Female sea turtles come from the ocean and onto these beaches at night.They dig a hole，lay many eggs，and cover their eggs with sand.They use their fins(脚蹼) to crawl back across the beach and return to the ocean.However，the creatures have a hard time on beaches now.
Local volunteers and researchers in Florida take direct action to help the turtles.They look closely at the large area of sand to locate where the sea turtles laid their eggs.When they’ve figured out where the eggs were laid，they mark the beach off so that no one can enter the area and disturb the eggs.They also collect information about the nests and tracks to help scientists study sea turtles.
Another problem for sea turtles is the quick urbanization(城市化) near beaches.Bright lights on buildings near the beach can negatively impact sea turtles.Baby sea turtles usually hatch(出壳) on the sandy beach and head to the ocean.When there is bright light coming from the other side of the shore far from the ocean，the baby turtles get confused.They do not know which way to go.Many of them do not make it to the ocean and die.Now，residents who live close to a beach try to turn off their lights at night as early as possible.
Many people believe the best way to save these creatures is through organizations like the Marine Conservancy.The Marine Conservancy helps people take steps that will help reduce the threats that put sea turtles in danger.Sometimes，turtles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish(水母)．They eat this trash and die.Florida residents can volunteer for beach clean-ups and make sure to pick up their own litter.However，sea turtles are still starving because of overfishing and climate change.These days，the organization aims to help the creatures find a new source of food by planting seagrass underwater.

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。
I was busily preparing for our Saturday night barbecue(烧烤)，a weekly tradition that brought our family together.Suddenly，our daughter Rikki stormed in through the front door，her face clouded with anger.Without a word，she marched straight to her room，leaving me with a sense of anxiety.
I looked out of the window and saw her classmate Lexi walking away sadly.My mother’s intuition(直觉) told me that this situation might need some gentle guidance.So I called Rikki out to the kitchen，hoping to start a conversation about what had happened.
Rikki stood before me with a stubborn look on her face，the kind that kids get when they know they’ve done something wrong but are too proud to admit it.“I noticed that Lexi came over，but she didn’t stay long，” I said gently.“She’s your age and goes to the same school as you.Why doesn’t she stay longer？”
Rikki said，“I don’t like her，I wish she would stop coming over here all the time.She dresses terrible，and sometimes she doesn’t smell good.”
I sighed and said，“That’s not her fault，Rikki.Maybe she doesn’t have anyone to help her with things like that.Some kids don’t have the extra things that you and your friends have.But that doesn’t make the many less worthy than you.Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and respect.”
Rikki nodded but her expression didn’t change.Her father had been watching from the backyard where he was grilling(烧烤)．He didn’t like the way Rikki had treated Lexi，so he decided to take action.He came over to me and said，“Let’s go and see Lexi.” Then he called Rikki over and asked her to get in the car.Together we drove straight to Lexi’s house.

Rikki invited Lexi to come over and have dinner with us.
参考范文
At Lexi’s house，Rikki was shocked to see how different her life was.Entering the yard，a shabby house which stood lonely came into view and seemed to be in need of repair.Lexi’s mother welcomed us warmly，though her eyes revealed the hardship they were enduring.Inside the house，the decrepit furniture as well as the crumbling walls spoke about their financial struggles in silence.Rikki’s eyes widened as she witnessed the evident contrast between her own home and Lexi’s，making her realize how awful she was.
Rikki invited Lexi to come over and have dinner with us.At first，Lexi hesitated，but Rikki’s understanding and genuine smile convinced her.During the barbecue，Rikki introduced Lexi to everyone，ensuring she felt included.That night，as they all sat under the stars，their eyes sparkled with cheerful light，through which I could see the evident transformation in Rikki：The stubbornness had been replaced by a warm，inclusive behavior.This weekly night barbecue tradition not only brought our family together but also let Rikki learn a valuable lesson about empathy and kindness，which made the evening memorable.
