When the other kids began to notice that he was wearing the same black pants and blue, teal, and gray long-sleeve shirt day after day, Todd, a freshman at Martin Luther King Jr. College Preparatory High School in Memphis, became the target of laughter. But there was little Todd could do. His mother simply couldn’t afford to buy him new clothes. Two of the kids piling on were Antwan Garrett and Kristopher Graham, a pair of freshman football players. But over time, they realized that their unfavorable words felt like bullying and seemed to be slowly crushing Todd’s spirit. Something finally clicked. “I felt like I needed to do something,” Graham told CBS News. So he and Garrett hatched a plan. They went home and hunted through their own drawers and closets. The next day at school, they met Todd at their third-period class and asked him to come into the hall. Todd was understandably nervous about being called out by the larger boys. “He wasn’t smiling or anything, and I was like, ‘I think this is going to make you smile,’” Graham says. “I told him, ‘We’re in the same third period, and I apologize for laughing at you, and I want to give something to you to make it up.’” He then handed Todd a bag. Inside were clean shirts and shorts, plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers. Todd was blown away. “I was very happy,” he told WATN-TV. “Surprised and upset, completely.” And Todd got much more than a new wardrobe. He no longer sits alone at lunch. Now he eats with his new friends, Garrett and Graham. “I’ve been bullied my entire life,” Todd told CBS News. Reflecting on the day Garrett and Graham called him into the hall, he called it “the best day of my entire life, basically.”24. What can we learn about Todd and his family?A. Todd worked hard to earn his living.B. Todd’s family lived in extreme poverty.C. Todd’s mother did nothing to change the situation.D. Todd was made fun of from the beginning of school.25. What does the underlined word “hatched” mean in paragraph 2?A. Formed. B. Proved. C. Confirmed. D. Rejected.26. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3-4?A. Todd was eager to make more friends with others.B. Todd felt puzzled when being shouted by Graham.C. Todd received no apology from Garrett and Graham.D. Todd was shocked but pleased at the kids’ help to him.27. What does the author want to convey through the passage?A. Hoping for the best while preparing for the worst.B. Accepting and living with each other’s weaknesses.C. Seeing others’ misfortune as an opportunity to help.D. Making friends with those having common interests.  CHumans feed thousands of songs to AI (人工智能). And it is able to analyse the basic information and recognize patterns that can be used to create original music. Such AI-created music is similar to those that any musician might compose. Recently, an AI-powered system, the Flow Machines, has released a song Daddy’s Car. This system is able to analyse the composers’ original ideas and come up with more ideas to assist them in composing. The system tries to combine the human mind with AI. Another great invention is Jukedeck, which works very easily. In order to create a new piece, the user just needs to select items like the desired music style (folk, rock, etc.) and the mood (sad or happy). After a few seconds, AI provides a piece of music for the user to download. Each user can create music tailored to his or her interest. Some musicians use AI to achieve what they could not do on their own. For example, Yacht, an American pop group, has used AI to break out of their comfort zone and try to create something different from their previous songs. Soon they have their new album, which contains 10 songs, all of which are very popular.The development of AI technology also comes with some concerns. Some human composers fear that their work might be replaced by a machine. Some others are worried about music itself and the music industry, as AI is now able to create music more and more similar to human-composed music. Faced with this challenge, on one hand, human musicians need to remain creative; on the other hand, they should understand how to use these new tools to explore new frontiers. Perhaps the future role of the human musicians will be to focus on emotions, leaving the machines to take care of other procedures.28. What is the new development about AI in the text?A. Its progress in replacing humans.                    B. Its ability in music composing.C. Its influence on human emotions.                    D. Its focus on changing human mind.29. Why could Yacht create the popular new album?A. Because they stuck to their former music style.B. Because they went beyond themselves with AI.C. Because they put in more than ten original songs.D. Because they insisted on composing by themselves.30. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Problems about AI composing.                    B. Limitations of AI technology.C. Challenges for human composers.                    D. Suggestions to human musicians.31. Which word best describes the author’s attitude toward AI technology?A. Objective.          B. Doubtful.               C. Uncaring              D. Confused. DA small robot that can change its shape and produce heat shows potential in targeting cancer cells and preventing internal bleeding. It can also be used for delivering drugs directly to tumors (肿瘤) or inaccessible areas within the human body.Researchers, led by Ren Hao Soon at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, developed a centimeter-sized robot inspired by pangolins (穿山甲).It is constructed with soft and magnetic ( 磁性的) materials, allowing the robot to change its shape.To enable movement, shape shifting, and heat generation, the researchers applied magnetic fields to the robot ’s metal parts. By adjusting the frequency of these fields, the robot was able to heat up and give out heat into its surroundings. The team observed that the robot’s body temperature could be over 70℃.In addition, the researchers used the robot’s heat to deliver substances within a simulated (模拟的) stomach environment. They attached something simulating medicine capsules onto the robot, which dissolved upon heating, thereby releasing the goods. This technique holds promise for targeted drug delivery inside the body.Soon, his team also tested the robot’s ability to halt bleeding. They created wounds using a dead pig's stomach. By pumping blood through a small incision using a syringe, they simulated bleeding. Subsequently, the robot extended and covered the area, giving out heat to help stop bleeding.According to Jake Abbott from the University of Utah, the robot could potentially be employed for targeted destruction of tumor cells, reducing the need for exposing large amounts of tissue to radiation or chemicals. By raising the robot’s temperature to a level unsafe for normal cells and keeping it in place for a few minutes, cancer cells can be killed. Abbott emphasizes the high temperature sensitivity of the human body.32. What can we infer about the small robot?A. It has been put into use.B. It is mainly used to deliver goods.C. It draws inspiration from the natural world.D. It can’t be used without adding hard elements. 33. How do the researchers make the robot change shape?A. By using heat.                                       B. By using magnets. C. By using radiation.                                  D. By using chemicals.34. What does the underlined word “halt” in paragraph 5 mean?A. Stop.                  B. Challenge.                C. Evaluate.                  D. Explore.35. Which can be the best title for the text?A. A Tiny Robot Will Be Used In MedicineB. Scientists Will Make Robots Give Out HeatC. A Small Robot Was Made To Deliver GoodsD. Doctors Have Used Tiny Robots To Cure Tumors 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Soothe the Sunday scariesMost of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family, and deal with tasks from a to-do list that gets neglected during the workweek.

She had neither her jacket nor her umbrella.Sophie held her paper bag over her head and made a rush. The rain hit her face as she ran up the street. As she stood waiting for the lights to change, Sophie glanced down to see a child’s toy lying on the sidewalk. She looked around, wondering who might have dropped it, but the street was deserted. What should she do? She couldn’t just leave it there. Sophie bent and picked up the toy — a grey elephant with a dirty label, and very wet. As the light went green, she had to make a quick decision. She held the elephant tightly and hurried on her way to her office.“Why did you bring it with you?” Gemma asked while Sophie poured a coffee. “When they realise they’ve lost it, they’ll probably return to the place. You should’ve displayed it where you found it. Somewhere noticeable.”That made sense. “It was getting completely wet,” Sophie protested, “It might have been destroyed.”“It might as well be, if you can’t reunite it with its owner,” Gemma replied. “Some toddler (学步儿童) is going to have trouble getting to sleep tonight without their elephant.”Oh, dear! Sophie had tried to do a good thing, but acting on impulse (冲动) might not have been the best choice. She decided to go back at lunch — find somewhere to set it up high. For the rest of the morning she placed the elephant on the radiator (暖气片) by her desk. At least it would be a bit drier by the time she took it back. But at lunch time, another heavy shower arrived. She picked up the toy elephant and gave its large ears a rub.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。Paragraph 1：“What am I going to do with you?” she asked, staring at the toy.________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2：The man on the phone, who said his name was Arthur, sounded excited. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
