Yue-Sai Kan was born in 1946 in Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, and grew up in Hong Kong. In 1968, while majoring in piano at the Hawaii campus of Brigham Young University, Kan entered a beauty contest sponsored by the local Chinese Chamber of Commerce. She won second place, and as a result got to travel around the world. The life-changing experience marked the beginning of her career in fashion, beauty, communication and cultural exchange.
In 1972, she moved to New York and created the weekly television series Looking East, the first of its kind to introduce Asian cultures and customs to a growing US audience. In 1986, Kan returned to China, producing and hosting the television series One World, which was the first show ever hosted by a Chinese-American on the television network, and was a national hit. Other important projects of hers include the ABC documentary China: Walls and Bridges, which initially explored different forms of spirituality in the country over the ages.
“I worked in China for almost 40 years, and I was there to witness and contribute to the country’s breakneck pace of change. This rare experience has given me a unique vision. As I say all the time, if I stay away from China for six months, I already miss so much of what is happening there! The Chinese saying ‘a year——small change, three years——big change’ has held true all this time,” Kan says.
Kan has never stopped doing what she loves. She is currently planning to do a 10-part television series exploring and highlighting the most interesting aspects of 10 Chinese cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Chengdu.“I firmly believe that a TV series featuring these major Chinese cities is not only timely, but also necessary to educate, enlighten and entertain by showcasing the Chinese people as they live today. This will help dispel some of the misunderstandings about China in the world,” Kan says.
Throughout her life, Kan has also been deeply involved in charity. On Jan 26, she is planning to host a major charity event in San Francisco, in which she will honor 12 of the most outstanding Chinese-American women.
24. What contributes most to starting Kan’s career?
A. Her university major. B. Her interest in travel.
C. Her competition experience. D. Her parents’ encouragement.
25. Which feature do the contents of Kan’s TV projects have in common?
A. They are entertaining. B. They are critical.
C. They are adventurous. D. They are pioneering.
26. What does Kan focus on about China in Para.3?
A. Its steady change. B. Its huge challenges.
C. Its great achievements. D. Its fast development.
27. Which of the following best describe Kan?
A. Gentle and considerate. B. Optimistic and strict.
C. Generous and humorous. D. Ambitious and kindhearted.

“Although we live in an era where everything seems to be available immediately, our study suggests that today’s kids can delay gratification (满足感) longer than children in the 1960s and 1980s,” said University of Minnesota psychologist (心理学家) Stephanie M. Carlson. “This finding stands in great contrast with the assumption by adults that today’s children have less self-control than previous generations.”
The original marshmallow (棉花糖) test conducted by researchers at Stanford University involved a series of experiments in which children aged between 3 and 5 years were offered one treat that they could eat immediately or a larger treat if they waited. Researchers then left the room to see how long the children would wait and watched from behind a one-way mirror.
Interestingly, today’s adults thought that children nowadays would be more impulsive and less able to wait, Carlson found. “Our findings serve as an example of how our beliefs can be wrong and how it’s important to do research,” said co-author Yuichi Shoda, PhD at the University of Washington.
The researchers offered several possible explanations for why children in the 2000s waited longer than those in prior decades. They noted a statistically significant increase in IQ scores in the last several decades. Another explanation may be society’s increased focus on the importance of early education, according to Carlson. The primary objective of preschool changed from largely custodial care (监护) to school readiness in the 1980s. Parenting also has changed in ways that help promote the development of executive function, such as being more supportive of children’s self-control, the researchers noted.
Walter Mischel of Columbia University, who co-authored this paper, noted that “while the results indicate that the children’s ability to delay is not weakened on the marshmallow test, the findings do not speak to their willingness to delay gratification when faced with the many temptations (诱惑) now available in everyday life.”
28. What is the adults’ assumption about today’s children?
A. They are not easy to please.
B. They are less able to control themselves.
C. They don’t like things that are easy to get.
D. They have different personalities from previous generations.
29. What does the underlined word “impulsive” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. productive B. considerate C. clear-minded D. hot-headed
30. What did the researchers find about children in the 2000s?
A. They are more prepared to go to school.
B. They are not as clever as previous generations.
C. They are taught self-control by their teachers.
D. They have better education than previous generations.
31. What does the author want to tell readers in the last paragraph?
A. Most children nowadays can’t resist the temptations of everyday life.
B. Children did not willingly choose to delay gratification in the marshmallow test.
C. The marshmallow test can’t accurately measure children’s ability to delay gratification.
D. Children’s ability to delay gratification is weakened because there’re many temptations.
D
Schools in the US and elsewhere are announcing bans on the recently released Al-powered ChatGPT out of fear that students could use the technology to complete their assignments. However, bans may be practically impossible given how difficult it is to detect when text is composed by ChatGPT. Is it instead time to rethink how students are taught and evaluated?
Educators are starting to question what it means to assess student learning if an AI can write an essay or paper similar to, or even better than a student would, and the teacher can’t tell the difference. Many teachers believe the time-honored learning tradition will be destroyed from the ground up by Chat GPT. The Los Angeles Unified School District in California first blocked the use of ChatGPT on networks and devices in December 2022.
However, removing technology from the classroom can mean undesirable consequences, such as creating more obstacles for students with disabilities, says Trust. Additionally, restricting the use of ChatGPT on school networks and devices can’t stop students from using ChatGPT at home and in libraries:
It is also unclear if anti-cheating software can reliably detect A1-assisted writing. OpenAI is working to develop a digital watermark that can help teachers and academics spot students who are using ChatGPT to write essays. OpenAl’s attempts to watermark AI text, however, hit limits.
Instead of worrying about how ChatGPT could enable cheating, educators should ask what motivates students to cheat in the first place and work on developing relationships of trust, says Jesse Stommel at the University of Denver in Colorado.
“Talk to students really frankly about what ChatGPT’s capable of, what it’s not,” says Stommel. “Have students use it to write an essay about Jane Austen and gender dynamics, and then have them read that essay and peer review it and think about what ChatGPT gets right and wrong.”
32. What does the author suggest schools do?
A. Adjust teaching and assessment.
B. Meet different demands from students.
C. Prohibit the use of ChatGPT in classrooms.
D. Break with the traditional teaching method.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Dark future of ChatGPT.
B. Educators’ worrying concern.
C. Crisis of traditional learning.
D. Difficulty in telling AI’s writing.
34. What is the author’s attitude toward OpenAI’s watermark technology?
A. Amused. B. Hopeful. C. Shocked. D. Doubtful.
35. What can be inferred from Jesse Stommel?
A. AI helps students tell right and wrong.
B. Students should write about famous writers.
C. Educators should guide students to use AI properly.
D. The trust between teachers and students is hard to form.

The boys and girls picked up the bus to Fort Lauderdale. Vingo was on board from the beginning.
As the bus passed through Jersey, they began to notice that Vingo never moved. He sat in front of the young people, frozen into silence.
Somewhere outside of Washington, the bus pulled into a Howard Johnson’s, and everybody got off except Vingo. He sat rooted in his seat, and the young people began to wonder about him, trying to imagine his life. When they went back to the bus, the girl sat beside him and introduced herself.
“Want some wine?” she said. He smiled and took the bottle. He thanked her and retreated again into silence. After a while, she went back to the others, as Vingo nodded into sleep.
In the morning they awoke outside another Howard Johnson’s, and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. When they went back on the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again, after a while, slowly and painfully and with great hesitation, he began to tell his story. He had been in jail in New York for the last four years, and now he was going home.
“When I was in jail I wrote to my wife,” he said. “I told her, I understand if you can’t stay married to me, get a new guy and forget about me. And she didn’t write to me. Not for three and a half years.”
“And you’re going home now, not knowing?”
“Yeah,” he said shyly. “Last week, I wrote her. I told her that if she had a new guy, I understood. But if she didn’t , if she would take me back she should let me know. We used to live in Brunswick, with a great big oak tree. I told her if she would take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I would get off and come home. If she didn’t want me, forget it, no handkerchief, and I’d keep going on.”
“Wow,” the girl said. “Wow.”
She told the others, and soon all of them were in it, caught up in the approach of Brunswick, looking at the pictures Vingo showed them of his wife and three children.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。

Now they were twenty miles from Brunswick. And the young people took over window seats on the right side, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face into the ex-con’s mask, as if fortifying himself against still another disappointment. Then it was ten miles, and then five. The bus acquired a dark hushed mood, full of silence, of absence, of lost years, of the woman’s plain face, of the sudden letter on the breakfast table, of the wonder of children, of the iron bars of solitude.
Then suddenly all of the young people were up out of their seats. They were screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances, shaking clenched fists in triumph and exaltation. All except Vingo. Vingo sat there stunned, looking at the oak tree. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs twenty of them, thirty of them, maybe hundreds, a tree that stood like a banner of welcome blowing and billowing in the wind, turned into a gorgeous yellow blur by the passing bus. As the young people shouted, the old con slowly rose from his seat, holding himself tightly, and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.
