Bob Shahmardi was 4 years old when he developed a severe disease. Success rates with the disease were relatively low at that time, but his family was lucky to live in a community that was helpful when they didn't have many resources and it was at that time that Make-A-Wish stepped in. Through that organization, the Shahmardi family got to enjoy a trip to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. The then 4-year-old hugged a character actor as part of a wish granted to him and his family by the organization. “It wasn't just going on a trip. It was more about how we got through that hard time. It was fun for me, but it was lifeline for my parents.”said Bob.

30 years later, Bob and his wife, Jill Welch, decided to turn their wedding into a fundraiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Their wedding guests financed two wishes for local children, more being planned. Many donated generously to the cause,spending more, perhaps, than they might have if it was just to buy the couple a wedding gift like fine china or a kitchen appliance. Bob said their wedding donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation wasn't going to be “one and done”. The two planned on continuing to contribute going forward.

Gloria Crockett,president and chief executive officer of the organization, said she felt it amazing to have someone who benefited come back to pay it forward to other kids looking for wishes.

Contrary to popular belief,Gloria stressed that wishes aren't given to critically ill children as a “last wish”, but are given as a part of the treatment process. The organization granted at least 165 wishes last year. This year Gloria hopes to grant somewhere between 199 and 299 wishes, depending on funding.

24.Which of the following helped Bob realize his wish?

A.The hospital.

B.Make-A-Wish.

C.The community.

D.Disney World.

25. What made Bob's wedding special?

A. The number of the guests.

C.The attendance of officials.

B. Receiving expensive gifts.

D.Collecting money for local kids.

26.What does the underlined part “one and done” in paragraph 2 mean?

A.Once-only.

B.Non-stop.

C.Sizable.

D.Personal.

27.What did Gloria think of the wish given to Bob?

A. It was a fun experience.

C.It was a certain treatment.

B. It was a lifeline.

D. It was a last wish.

When it comes to becoming eco-conscious, many people choose to start with something simple: recycling. But it's not as simple as everyone seems to believe.

Indeed, the desire for some people to recycle can lead to ill-informed decisions about what can and cannot be recycled, and non-recyclable objects are accidentally put into the recycling bin.  The practice is what is known as wish cycling.

Wish cycling boils down to the idea that just about anything can be recycled, and that if you put it into a recycling bin,  those who are responsible for it will find a way to recycle it. This is obviously not true, because, despite everything that you've been told by the media, not everything is recyclable.

Small non-recyclable objects that are attached to recyclables are generally acceptable. For example, glue and tape attached to paper will be removed in the recycling process without any trouble.But improperly recycling broken eyeglasses, plastic shopping bags, food waste and oily pizza boxes could cause problems to the recycling process.

The objects in the recycling bin are typically sorted by machines at recycling centers, not people. These complex machines are designed to separate plastics, paper, and other recyclables. If something is thrown into the bin that shouldn't be there, it could end up damaging the machine, which means the recycling center could lose time and money every time people decide to wish cycle. Sometimes, a non-recyclable object is able to slip past these sorting machines. If this happens, the non-recyclable object ends up in a load of recyclables that will be sold for the recycling center to make a profit. However, having just one non-recyclable thing mixed in can pollute the entire load of recyclables, which has to be thrown away.

So what you as a consumer need to do is make your own recycling practice most functional. The best way is to educate yourself. There are certain general rules when it comes to recycling that everyone should know.

28.What do we know about wish cycling?

A. It is misled by the media.

B. It leads to better ecology.

C.It is related to ill intentions.

D. It comes from people's hope.

29.Which of the following can be put into the recycling bin according to the passage?

A.Paper with glue on it.

C.Plastic shopping bags.

B.Oily pizza boxes.

D.Leftover food.

30.What is paragraph 5 about?

A. The need to update the machines.

C.The reasons for making less profit.

B. The problems from wish cycling.

D.The objects unsuitable for recycling.

31.What might be talked about in the paragraph that follows?

A.Reducing waste.

C.Recycling properly.

B.Making rules.

D.Consuming wisely.

There was a time when the major concern with AI safety had been the one evil super intelligence, reflected in the movie The Terminator. However, the game Tacoma takes a different approach. It assumes that there will be numerous AGI(artificial general intelligence) in the world and that any AGI, even a safely designed one, in the wrong hands at the wrong time could cause lives to be lost. That's the future that a growing number of AI safety experts are worried about.

This is not a new idea. In the book Engineering a Safer World,MIT professor Nancy G. Leveson addresses common misunderstandings about safety-critical systems engineering: Engineering systems whose failure could lead to human loss.Such safety-critical technologies include aviation, nuclear power, automobiles, heavy chemicals,biotechnology,and,of course,AGI.

So what can be done?

Technology isn't always the solution. A famous example is the invention of sonic radars （声波雷达）that were supposed to help ships detect nearby obstacles（障碍物），but which only increased the rate of accidents. Why? Captains sailed faster, thinking they could get away with it thanks to the new safety technology.

Instead of technologies, Leveson’s book suggests, we should be making organizational changes. Additionally, Leveson suggests, among many complicated guidelines, organizations should be aware that safety guidelines will inevitably become lax over time.As a consequence, measures should be carried out to prevent potential disasters.

What lessons can we draw from concern with AI safety? The answer may lie in recent disaster narratives（叙述），which remind us that， especially in times like this，we shouldn＇t forget the potential for other disasters.Public conscience really does matter.And if we're all better at thinking about safety as citizens, maybe we really can prevent disasters.

32.Why does the author mention The Terminator in the first paragraph?

A. To arouse reader's interest in The Terminator.

B.To introduce the topic of concern with AI safety.

C. To mention the similarity between The Terminator and Tacoma.

D. To make readers recall the evil super intelligence reflected in the movie.

33. Why did the rate of ship accidents still increase after the invention of sonic radars?

A. Because captains seldom used them.

B. Because the radars failed to work properly.

C. Because captains depended on them too much.

D.Because the ships couldn't detect nearby obstacles.

34.What does the underlined word “lax” in paragraph 5 refer to?

A.Safe.

B.Important.

C.Unreliable.

D.Unnecessary.

35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.Disaster prevention lessons from AI

B. Safety problems in modern society

C. The development of AI in modern days

D.Future applications of artificial intelligence

When I was an incoming student in University of Oxford, I participated in FYSOP. Ever since then, whenever it comes up in conversation, I am met with the following question: “What is FYSOP?” 36

FYSOP stands for First Year Student Outreach Project, which focuses on a week of service to the city of Oxford and its various neighborhoods. 37 They volunteer for the Oxford community at local sites helping out schools, parks or non-profit organizations.

Students are divided into groups and led by student leaders. These leaders ensure that each place is prepared and that the students get there safely. 38 In this way the incoming students are able to reflect on what it means to give back and to be a part of the community. These conversations are important for incoming students because of the change they experience starting out in college.

39 Students obtain valuable volunteer experiences and meet new people. Also, FYSOP participants get to move in a week earlier than most other students. This means that you get to skip out on the hurried move in schedule and might even get a slightly cheaper flight than if you were moving in with the other 140,000 college students.

40 Through my personal experience, I met some of my best friends, got a better understanding of the layout（布局）of Oxford，and really enjoyed volunteering at various non-profits. If you are not, maybe consider staffing FYSOP in the future.

A. Here's a brief introduction.

B.Here's why it has been established.

C. The participants are all incoming students.

D.There are so many bonuses being a part of FYSOP!

E. If you're an incoming student,  FYSOP is worth looking into.

F.Both the community and the students benefit a lot from the project.

G.Leaders also open up conversations throughout the service experience.

A couple of weeks ago, I made a trip to Toronto with my granddaughter who just turned three years old. The two of us were on our way to 41 her parents, and my wife, who had been gone for over a week. We were all anxious to 42 again and as I pulled out of Mamere and Papere's driveway in Chelmsford, Hailee and I were both excited and couldn't wait to arrive at our 43.

When we completed the “SEVEN"-hour trip to Toronto later that day, the reunion was absolutely 44 and I can sincerely say I enjoyed every single minute of the 45 journey.

Hailee is at that “I want to 46 it myself" stage of her life. And if you can just get over the “hurry-up syndrome（综合征）”we acquire as 47，it is wonderful to witness．Who knew that putting a straw（吸管）into the 48 in a juice box for the very first time could be such an amazing event? Or putting on your own shoes on the right feet would be so 49?

I'll never forget the look on her face the day she was able to 50 into my truck by herself．She finally 51 on my seat， holding onto the steering wheel（方向盘）and declared proudly,“  I did it!" And when she could actually put her own seat belt on-what a(n) 52!

Have you ever watched a three-year-old 53 to sip a McDonald's milkshake through a straw？ It is hard enough for an adult， too． And 54 every time the icy solution（溶液） touched her lips, you could see the 55 in her eyes. I learned that you can't hurry a child through a milkshake.

The five interlocked Olympic rings have become fairly familiar at this point. But do you know what they mean and the story behind their 56(create)?

The 1912 Olympic Games, held in Sweden, were the first to include athletes from 57 were then considered the five continents: Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and America. 58(inspire) by what had become a 59 (true) global event, Coubertin designed the symbol of the Games: the Olympic rings. Since 1920,the Olympic rings 60 (use)in every summer and winter Games.

Given what we know about colors and their many symbolic 61(meaning),it seems like it'd be safe to assume that color featured in the Olympic rings would stand 62 something specific, like a continent. 63 ,in reality, that's not the case at all.  Coubertin 64(choose) the six official Olympic colors-blue, yellow, black, green, red,  and white (featured in the background)-because when he introduced the symbol in 1913,every single flag of the nations 65(participate) in the Games could be reproduced using the colors in the Olympic symbol. Or, in his own words: “ The six colors thus combined reproduce those of all nations without exception."

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 had always prided myself on my sharp tongue and brilliant response whether in class debates or casual arguments. Thus, when I was selected to represent the school in the national debate series（辩论赛），I was naturally extremely confident of myself.

All the members in my team were good speakers. We had an experienced teacher who trained us well. But I was undoubtedly the most outstanding speaker. In each of the rounds that I debated in, all the judges selected me as the best one. This meant that my confidence was the highest by the time we found ourselves with one week to train before the finals. I had every reason to believe that I would be voted the best speaker for the debate series.

I began to be self-important about the whole business and started behaving that way with my teammates. I would laugh at Eton's poor debating style. I would complain of Vivian's slow response. I saw myself as the natural debater who would be disappointed by their bad performance.

As the finals drew near, I became more and more dissatisfied with my team. I began missing practices. My teacher was worried. My teammates were panicked. However, they had no choice but to rely on me to win the finals. Even if they would love to remove me from the team, they could not because there was no replacement good enough.

The day of the finals finally came. I was very excited that I was able to finally show off my debating skills. Everyone was expecting my performance. They knew that I was praised to be the one most likely to win the best speaker for the debate series.

注意：

1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

But the reality was not something that I had ever imagined. 

Suddenly, a comforting hand from behind held mine.
