When she was 61, Sian Davies decided to row across the Atlantic Ocean. In March 2021, she was one of the
12 crew members who set out on the 3,000-mile journey from Tenerife to battle sun, salt and fierce currents. “We
would row in three-hour shifts and only sleep for an hour or so every six hours,” she says. “For the first 15 days, I
was seasick, so I hardly ate anything. I was just rowing and collapsing. I went through some pretty dark times.”
But after 42 days on the water, Davies reached Antigua to become one of the only six women in the world
over the age of 60 to have rowed across an ocean. “I was exhausted and I was also so proud of myself,” she says.
Davies began rowing when she was 53, after spotting a six-oar (桨) rowing boat in Bristol harbor. Attracted by
its size and appearance, she spoke to the crew and was encouraged to do a trial run. “As soon as I got on the water,
I fell in love with it,” she says. “Feeling your whole body working and the fresh air on your skin is amazing.”
It wasn’t until 2017, though, that her Atlantic plans were born. Suffering from a herniated disc (椎间盘突出),
she was only able to crawl out of bed. “I began thinking of things I could look forward to after I had surgery,” she
says. “One day I was reading about women adventurers when it hit me that once better, I would row across an
ocean.”
After successful surgery, Davies began driving to meet other women who had undertaken rows. Hearing the
experiences and advice of them gave Davies the confidence. Soon after, she heard that a new boat producer was
organizing a team for a voyage across the Atlantic and she joined it immediately.
“In June, I’m planning to break a few world records by rowing around the UK when I’m 64, and I want to
motorcycle through the Himalayas later in the year. After all, we need things to look back on.” she says.
4. What do we know about Davies’ journey across the Atlantic
A. She fell apart and abandoned the task.
B. She suffered a lot during the process.
C. She was the oldest woman to finish it.
D. She rowed along with six other women.
5. How did Davies feel about her first attempt to row
A. Painful. B. Frightened.
C. Confident. D. Impressed.
6. What inspired Davies to row across an ocean
A. A trial row on a six-oar rowing boat.
B. Support from a boat company.
C. Stories of some women adventurers.
D. Sufferings from her back pain.
7. Which of the following best describes Davies
A. Caring and open-minded. B. Humble and self-motivated.
C. Determined and easy-going. D. Strong-willed and ambitious.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. D

Comedy writer Joe Toplyn spent thirty years writing jokes for famous TV hosts before asking a simple
question: “Can I teach a computer to be funny ” He built an AI tool named Witscript, where for six dollars a month,
users could give the system a headline or a picture and receive a joke in seconds.
In a small “laugh-off” experiment, a comedian read jokes written by both Toplyn and Witscript to live
audiences. Scientists measured the laughter and found that the human and computer jokes brought almost the same
level of amusement to the audiences. Experts have even said that for a computer, writing certain kinds of jokes may
be easier than driving a car.
One theory for why we laugh is that a joke creates two pictures in our minds at once. Here is an example:
“Two fish are in a tank. One says, ‘You drive. I’ll shoot.’” The word “tank” can mean a fishbowl or a war machine,
and the surprise of connecting the two makes us laugh. Toplyn turned this idea into steps for his AI tool. When
given the news “Christie’s is selling a pink diamond (钻石) once owned by Marie Antoinette — a French queen
whose head was cut off due to her terrible deeds,” Witscript replied, “It has the perfect cut — just like her head,”
mixing jewelry and history in a clever, dark way.
However, computer humor still has clear limits. Some jokes repeat unfair fixed ideas, such as always targeting
larger or older people as the punchline (笑点). Without human editors, many of the machine-produced jokes are
simply disrespectful to certain communities, bringing more confusion than laughter.
More importantly, a joke is not only about the words. For now, machines can copy the shapes of jokes, but
they don’t laugh, redden, or worry about a friend’s reaction. A computer cannot feel this social dance. As AI helpers
become part of our daily lives, a bit of programmed humor may make them friendlier. Still, the deepest laughter
will remain a human conversation of shared human needs and feelings — one heart speaking to another.
8. What does the “laugh- off” experiment show
A. AI writes jokes faster than humans. B. AI fails to judge the quality of jokes.
C. AI-written jokes match human humor. D. AI finds writing jokes easier than driving.
9. What are the examples in paragraph 3 intended to explain
A. History is a rich source of jokes. B. AI-made jokes are mostly boring.
C. Dark humor requires high intelligence. D. AI can create humor with smart connections.
10. What worries the author about AI-made humor
A. It slows down human creativity. B. It can be costly for ordinary users.
C. It may have negative social effects. D. It hardly touches on people’s lifestyles.
11. Which of the following reflects the main idea of the text
A. Real humor lies in emotional connections. B. Humor depends on culture and surprise.
C. Comedians will possibly lose jobs to AI. D. AI is progressing fast in creative tasks.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. A

In recent years, interest in space tourism has grown rapidly. Once a concept limited to science fiction, space
travel for private individuals is now becoming a reality. Companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic
are developing commercial spaceflight programs, promising a future where ordinary people can experience life
beyond Earth. Wealthy adventurers, celebrities, and even a few researchers have already taken part in these early
missions, drawing global attention.
However, space tourism raises important questions. Critic argue that it remains an activity for the wealthy, as
ticket prices are extremely high. A single trip can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, making
space tourism accessible only to a select few. Others worry about the environmental impact. Rocket launches
release large amounts of carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
Some scientists fear that an increase in spaceflights could worsen these issues if not properly regulated.
Supporters, on the other hand, believe that space tourism has benefits. It drives innovation in aerospace
technology, leading to advancements that could make space travel more affordable in the future. Additionally, some
believe that seeing Earth from space — often called the “overview effect” — gives travelers a deeper appreciation
for the planet and inspires greater environmental responsibility. Documentaries and interviews with early space
tourists suggest this emotional shift is genuine and long-lasting.
Despite the excitement, space tourism remains in its early stages. While a few commercial flights have
successfully taken private passengers to the edge of space, long-term sustainability is still uncertain. The cost must
decrease significantly for space travel to become widely accessible. Scientists also emphasize the need for better
safety measures, as spaceflight remains a high-risk activity.
Some experts compare space tourism to the early days of aviation. A century ago, air travel was expensive and
rare, but today, millions of people fly every day. Could the same happen with space travel Many in the industry
believe so, but it may take decades before space tourism becomes a regular part of human life.
For now, space tourism remains a thrilling yet controversial topic. While the idea of ordinary people traveling
to space is inspiring, questions about cost, safety, and environmental impact must be addressed before it can truly
take off.
12. What is one major concern about space tourism
A. It harms the environment. B. It is illegal in many countries.
C. It has replaced scientific space missions. D. It distract s public attention from climate issues.
13. Why do some supporters have a positive view of space tourism
A. It is a safe and affordable industry. B. It helps reduce global carbon emissions.
C. It could encourage better treatment of Earth. D. It provides a solution to overcrowding on Earth.
14. What does the underlined phrase “overview effect” most likely refer to
A. A feeling of being lost in space.
B. A dangerous effect of space travel.
C. An ability to see beyond the Earth’s atmosphere.
D. A change in perspective after viewing Earth from space.
15. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Why Space Tourism Will Fail. B. Is Space Travel worth the Cost
C. How Governments Control Space Travel. D. Space Tourism: The Next Step for Humanity

【答案】Dear teachers and students,
As a source of life, water plays a key role in ecosystems and human well-being. However, increasing water
shortages are threatening our quality of life now and the well-being of future generations.
We can contribute to saving water through simple daily actions. For example, remember to turn off the tap
while brushing your teeth. Reusing water for plants is another great idea. Furthermore, replacing old equipment
with water-saving appliances is an effective way to reduce water waste. Finally, avoid throwing waste into rivers,
lakes, or oceans, as it leads to water pollution.
Every small action counts, and we can make a significant impact together through everyday efforts.

47. 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。
“Oh no!” I shouted as I searched through my dance bag. My dance shoes were nowhere to be found. For a
moment, I could hardly hide a smile — finally, an excuse not to go to the tiring practice! However, Mom drove
straight to the studio (练功房). “Ms. Linda keeps some spare dance shoes,” she reminded gently. I took a deep
breath, walked in unwillingly and fished out a pair.
“Only four weeks remain before the holiday performance,” Ms. Linda told the class. “We must focus and work
hard.” My heart dropped, and the memory of last year’s stage failure flashed back — I was unable to move and
breathe properly under bright lights. That night, I begged Mom to let me quit. Surprisingly, she didn’t force me to
keep going. Instead, she said quietly, “It’s your decision, Kami. But have you thought about your partner Can she
make it without you ”
“She won’t mind,” I said, “She probably doesn’t even know my name.”
The next Friday, Mom picked me up from school. As we drove away, she asked if I wanted to attend the dance
class. “No,” I whispered, “Not today.” “Okay,” Mom nodded understandingly. I breathed easy, sure that I had made
the right choice, thinking no one would notice one absent dancer in the crowded studio.
On Saturday, during a shopping trip, I unexpectedly ran into my dance partner at checkout. “Hi, Kami!” she
called cheerfully. I stood still, my face red, and realized I didn’t even know her name until she introduced herself as
Sylvia. Then her smile disappeared. “I missed you yesterday. Honestly, I’m frightened about the show. My grandma
is flying in just to watch, and I fear that I’ll mess up our paired moves.”
What she said struck me. I knew I was not the only one who was afraid all the time. Dance was not only my
hard thing; it was our common fight.

1. 续写词数应为 150个左右；

【答案】One possible version:
Looking at her worried face, I felt a sudden increase of determination inside me. “You are not alone,” I
promised, gripping her trembling hand. “We’ll conquer the stage together.” Realizing that Sylvia depended on me, I
found the courage to face my fear. We spent the remaining weeks glued to the studio floor, repeating every step
until our movements flowed smoothly. We corrected each other’s errors and celebrated small victories. The anxiety
that once held me back was replaced by a sense of responsibility. We were no longer two strangers; we were a team,
drawing strength from one another to perfect our routine before the big moment.
The day of the holiday performance finally came. Stepping onto the stage, I felt the familiar heat of the bright
lights, but this time, I didn’t freeze. I took a deep breath, looking at Sylvia. She offered a determined and brave nod.
Then the music began. We moved as one body, our feet gliding across the wooden floor with grace. Every turn was
correct; every jump was high. When we finished our final move, loud cheers rose from the audience. Spotting
Sylvia’s grandmother smiling in the front row, I realized that true success wasn’t about avoiding fear, but sharing
the challenge with a friend.
