The Sydney t Melburne Ultramarathn, an endurance race f 875 km, was cnsidered the tughest in the wrld. It used t be a five-day race, with nly the wrld-class athletes daring t attempt it. Mst athletes wh tk part in this ultramarathn were under 30 years f age.

When he appeared at the venue, the nlkers thught he was prbably a spectatr. T their surprise, Cliff picked up a race number.
Having grwn up n a farm, Cliff had t g ut t rund up the sheep every time there was a strm, because his family culd nt affrd hrses r tractrs. Tw thusand sheep scattered acrss tw thusand acres f land—it tk him as lng as three days f chasing the animals, but he always succeeded.
The race began, and the strng and yung racers started leaving Cliff behind. The racers had a strategy. They wuld be running hurs each fr the five days f the race, and sleep fr the remaining 6 hurs. Nnetheless, Cliff had n such strategy! Being an amateur athlete, he was nt familiar with any such game plan. S, he just ran n and n, and the next mrning, when the ther athletes wke up, they fund that the ld man had caught up with the thers by jgging all night. By the final night f the race, he had surpassed the ther cmpetitrs and became the champin.
The next time Cliff caught attentin again when he was 76. He tk up the challenge f running alng Australia’s brder, acrss a distance f 16,000 km with the aim f raising mney fr hmeless children. Unfrtunately, his crew member fell ill, and Cliff had t withdraw frm the race, after running fr 6520 km.

The 2010s brught n shrtage f miraculus technlgies, frm tablet cmputers t4G mbile internet. But these had surprisingly little effect n the ecnmy. During that decade prductivity grwth in the develped cuntries averaged a miserable (少得可怜的) 1% a year, hlding dwn average wages. Innvative firms embraced new tech, but many less adventurus nes did nt bther. The experience shwed that technlgical breakthrughs and imprvements in average living standards d nt always g hand in hand.
Generative AI, its develpers say, will be different. Nt since the inventin f the internet has a new technlgy s captured the public imaginatin. The technlgy is cnsumer-friendly: within days f its release t the public, Chat GPT, the mst famus AI chat bt, had millins f users. It is easy t see hw this innvatin culd imprve all types f wrk at all types f firms, frm increasing the accuracy f dctrs’ diagnses t helping prgrammers write sftware cde mre efficiently.
With that said, fr AI t truly spread ut in the ecnmy, it needs t make its mark beynd the mst innvative cmpanies. And this will take time. Althugh the internet began t be used by sme cmpanies in the early 1990s, it was nt until the late 2000s that tw-thirds f American businesses had a website. Abut 70 wrld’s largest firms still shw n interest in AI, accrding t ur analysis. Sme evidence even suggests that usage f Chat GPT and its cmpetitrs is falling — perhaps as peple have tried it ut, and then decided it is nt fr them.
Indeed, even the mst pwerful technlgies take time t be adpted, because cmpanies tend t use a mix f sftware and services, sme f which may be years r even decades ld. Replacing utdated systems can be cstly and cmplicated. Mrever, in the many industries either run r heavily regulated by the gvernment, such as healthcare, educatin and cnstructin, bsses and trade unins ften resist the applicatin f new technlgy, wrried that it will lead t jb lsses. In time AI culd well transfrm hw peple live their lives and d their jbs. But the rad t widespread usage, and any resulting prductivity bm, will be a lng ne.
28．What is paragraph 1 mainly abut?
A．Hw prductivity affects average wages.
B．Why the 2010s is a prductive decade.
C．What innvative cmpanies care fr.
D．Whether ecnmic grwth fllws new technlgies.
29．What des the authr want t indicate by mentining Chat GPT in paragraph 2?
A．AI’s public imaginatin.B．Cnsumers’ enthusiasm.
C．AI’s huge ptential. D．AI’s healthy prfits.
30．What can be inferred frm paragraph 3?
A．Mre effrts are needed t advcate AI.
B. Big firms are less mtivated t adpt new tech.
C．Chat GPT is falling behind its cmpetitrs.
D．Websites were uncmmn in the early 2000s.
31．Which wrd best describes the authr’s attitude twards the future f AI?
A．Hpeful.B．Cautius.C．Wrried.D．Pessimistic.

Why des scial media cause feelings f lneliness and lack f cnfidence? Because instead f being real life, it is impressin management, a way f marketing yurself, carefully chsing and filtering (过滤) the picture and wrds t put yur best face frward.
Online “friends” made thrugh scial media d nt fllw the nrmal psychlgical prgressin f friendship. Yu share neither physical time nr emtinal cnversatins ver the Internet. Yu simply cmmunicate phtgraphs and catchy psts t a diverse grup f peple whm yu have “friended” r “fllwed” based n an accidental interactin. This is nt t say that yur scial media friends can’t be real friends. They abslutely can, but the tw are nt the same. Generally speaking, there are n unfiltered r casually taken phts n ur scial media pages because it wuldn’t feel safe t be cmpletely authentic (真实的) and vulnerable (易受伤的) with sme f ur “friends” whm we dn’t actually knw r with whm trust has yet t be built.
Scial media can certainly be an escape frm the daily rutines, but we must be cautius abut the negative effects n a persn’s verall psychlgical well-being.
As humans, we are eager fr scial cnnectin. Scrlling (滚动) thrugh pages f pictures and cmments, hwever, des nt prvide the same degree f satisfactin as face-t-face interactins d. Als, we tend t idealize thers’ lives and cmpare ur dwnfalls t their greatest accmplishments, ending in feelings f lneliness and lack f cnfidence.
Scial media can lead t unhealthy pursuit fr perfectin. Sme peple begin t attend certain events r travel t different places s that they can take that “perfect” pht. Hwever, pictures and psts shuld be byprducts f life’s treasured mments and fun times, nt the planned and calculated image that ne is putting ut int cyberspace in an attempt t fill insecurities r unmet needs.
Finally, scial media has increased ur ability t cnnect with varius types f peple all ver the glbe. It has pened drs fr business and allwed us t stay cnnected t peple whm we may nt therwise get t fllw. Hwever, scial media shuld feel like a fun experience, nt ne that cntributes t negative thughts and feelings. If the latter is the case, increasing face t face time with trusted friends and minimizing time scrlling nline will prve t be a reminder that yur real scial netwrk is much mre rewarding than any “like”, “fllw” r “share” can be.
32. Hw des scial media affect ur life?
A.It may make us feel islated and insecure.
B. It may imprve ur physical appearance.
C. It may filter ur negative impressins n thers.
D. It may enhance ur cmmunicatin skills.
33. Why d peple pst phts selectively n scial media?
A. They d nt want t lse their fllwers.
B.They d nt find all their nline friends trustwrthy.
They are eager t becme famus vernight.
D. They want t avid ffending any f their audience.
34. What d humans tend t d accrding t the passage?
A. Have mre face-t-face interactins.
B. Exaggerate their life’s accmplishments.
C. Learn lessns frm ther peple’s dwnfalls.
D. Paint a rsy picture f ther peple’s lives.
35. What des the authr advise when nline experience becmes unpleasant?
A. Stay cnnected t nline friends fr suggestins.
B. Strengthen ties with real-life friends instead f nline friends.
C. Cnnect with varius types f peple all ver the glbe.
D. Avid negative thughts and feelings thrugh nline pages.

67．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。
It was a rugh week. The price f il skyrcketed as the temperature drpped sharply in Maine. We were lking at a high f eight degrees that week, and I had missed three days f wrk s my paycheck was ging t be lwer than nrmal. I was stressed, t say the least. I shpped strategically, lking fr every pssible way t cut pennies s I culd buy grceries and keep the huse warm.
My eight-year-ld sn didn't understand when I tld him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind f yghurt, but I didn't have the extra three dllars t buy it fr him. It was the kind f yghurt with a cartn kid riding a skatebard n the frnt f the bx, and a mere tw spnfuls in each cup. It was the kind f prduct that wastes a parent's mney and makes me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when thse big eyes lked at me with cnfusin, as if t say, “It's just yghurt. What's the big deal?” S I fund a way. I put smething back as single mthers ften d. He gt his yghurt.
On the way driving back frm the grcery stre, I nticed a hmeless man hlding a sign by the side f the rad. My heart hurt, and I tried nt t lk at him. I watched peple stay away frm him n the street and walk by withut even meeting his eyes. My sn didn't seem t care much, either. I lked at the man clsely then — bare hands grasping a piece f cardbard, snt frzen t his face, a wrn-ut jacket. And there I was struggling because I had t buy il and grceries. But I decided t help. I pulled ver t the man and handed him a five-dllar bill.
Paragraph 1:
Seeing this, my sn became cnfused and surprised.

Paragraph 2:
On that day, my sn perfrmed an act that mst adults wuldn’t have dne. ____________________________________________________________________________
