We’d go to the park and she would make up a game and I wouldn’t even know that I was learning,” she tells the local newspaper Charlottetown Guardian. Vivian hoped for grade-skipping due to her excellence in all subjects. Her parents have been supportive of her drive to seek knowledge. However, the school officials were concerned that she wouldn’t keep up socially with her older classmates if she were to skip more than one grade. Then, she wrote to the newspaper.“Imagine you are playing an exciting video game. You defeat the boss and are ready to move on to the next stage. However, you discover that the game requires you to wait until every other player has finished. Imagine the boredom you would experience and the loss of desire to play afterwards,” she wrote in the letter. “In our current educational system, this is how it works. Kids should be allowed to fly when they’re ready.”Vivian moved with her family from PEI to Halifax, and at a private school there, after several tests, teachers placed her in Grade 8 from fourth grade. After a brief high school career in British Columbia, she returned to PEI to attend university, where she hoped to gain the skills to become a veterinarian (兽医). Vivian was just 12 when she began her university studies — and is on track to finish a biology degree before she can get behind the wheel of a car.So far, university has been no sweat for Vivian. She finished her first semester with grades above 91 percent. Now, at 13, she has just wrapped her first year at the University of Prince Edward Island.4. How did Vivian’s grandmother educate her at a young ageA．She led her to study unconsciously.B．She set a good example for her.C．She was supportive of her choices.D．She forced her to learn from childhood.5. Why did Vivian mention playing a video game in her letterA．To illustrate an idea.B．To clarify a concept.C．To propose a solution.D．To make an assumption.6. What was Vivian’s purpose in moving from PEI to HalifaxA．To get her biology degree.B．To study as a veterinarian.C．To skip grades successfully.D．To stick to her hobby freely.7. What lesson can we learn from Vivian’s storyA．Learning at an early age can be harder.B．School systems should be more flexible.C．Self-acceptance depends on self-pride.D．School education equals home studying.CUsing AI to help write a message to a friend is not a good idea — at least if your friend finds out about the use of AI, a new study suggests.Researchers found that people in the study believed that a friend who used AI to write them a message didn’t put in as much effort as a friend who wrote a message themselves. That may be understandable, but the effect goes beyond the message itself, said Bingjie Liu, lead author of the study. “After they get an AI message, our participants (参与者) feel less satisfied with their relationship with their friend and feel more uncertain about where they stand,” Liu said.But to be fair to AI, it wasn’t just the use of technology that turned people off. “People want their partners or friends to make an effort to come up with their own message without help from AI or other people,” Liu said.“People want to know how much you want to invest in your friendship and if they feel you are cutting corners by using AI to help, that’s not good,” Liu explained.Of course, most people won’t tell a friend that they used AI to help write a message, Liu said. But she noted that as ChatGPT becomes more popular, people may start doing a Turing Test in their minds as they read messages from friends and others. Turing Test is sometimes used to refer to people wondering if they can tell whether an action was taken by a computer or a person.“It could be that people will secretly do this Turing Test in their minds, trying to figure out if messages have some AI component (成分),” Liu said. “It may hurt relationships.” The answer is to do your own work in relationships, she said. “Don’t use technology just because it is convenient. Sincerity still matters a lot in relationships.”8. How did people in the study feel about receiving an AI message from their friendA．Thankful. B．Surprised. C．Dissatisfied. D．Embarrassed.9. Why do people prefer that friends write messages themselves instead of using AIA．AI messages often have many mistakes.B．People believe AI lacks emotional depth.C．Friends who use AI are considered dishonest.D．People want to see the effort invested in the friendship.10. What’s the purpose of starting a Turing Test according to LiuA．To judge the level of ChatGPT.B．To see if AI has been used in a message.C．To test the sincerity of an online friend.D．To learn how to communicate with AI.11. What is Liu’s suggestionA．Believing in the development of technology.B．Paying attention to real-world friends.C．Being actively honest in relationships.D．Thinking twice before making a convenient choice.DHave you ever wondered what happens to all of the old objects launched into space, such as rockets and satellites They are called space junk (太空垃圾), and much of it is still out there now. According to NASA, the definition of space junk is “any man-made object in orbit around Earth that no longer serves a useful function”.One large piece of space junk, a disused rocket, hit the dark side of the moon on 4 March. The rocket’s origin is not clear, but scientists know that it was massive — weighing about 3 tons. It must have left a large crater (坑), estimated 10 to 20 metres wide, on the moon’s surface. It won’t be visible right away, but scientists are trying to locate it. “We will find the crater, eventually,” Mark Robinson, lead investigator for NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, told USA Today. “Depending on its location, it could take as long as 28 days.”What’s significant about this space junk crash is that it draws attention to some of the potential dangers of space junk. First, the accumulation of space junk in Earth’s orbit means that satellites and the International Space Station are at risk. In 2016, tiny space debris (残骸), smaller than a millimetre, caused a tiny chip in the ISS’ window. Imagine the damage that a larger piece of debris could cause. The European Space Agency website states that objects “up to 1 cm in size could disable an instrument or a critical flight system on a satellite” while objects over 10 cm “could shatter a satellite or spacecraft into pieces”. If this sounds terrifying, that’s because it is. Any collision (碰撞) with larger pieces of debris could be especially dangerous for manned spacecraft.In addition to potential damage to spacecraft and satellites, space junk also poses a threat to Earth itself. Crashes can send debris into the atmosphere where it can remain for many decades. Some powerful crashes can even send large debris hurtling (猛冲) towards Earth’s surface where it can affect the local environment. Leftover rocket debris can contain toxic (有毒的) materials that are harmful to plant and animal life. Some people in Siberia have even reported serious health problems after rocket debris landed in their regions in 2012, a local doctor told the BBC.12. Which of the following can be regarded as space junkA．An abandoned space station.B．A spacecraft orbiting the moon.C．A crater on the moon’s surface.D．A satellite working in low Earth orbit.13. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer toA．Tracking the rocket.B．Locating the crater.C．Cleaning up the space junk.D．Finding out the rocket’s origin.14. Why does the author mention the damage caused by tiny space debris in 2016A．To compare the effects of debris of different sizes.B．To prove the space debris problem is getting worse.C．To illustrate the potential dangers of space junk.D．To explain the necessity of removing space junk.15. What can be inferred about space junk from the last paragraphA．It’s likely to cause a global environmental crisis.B．It can pose a lasting threat if it remains in the atmosphere.C．It’s impossible to stop it from entering the atmosphere.D．The biggest threat comes from the toxic materials contained in space junk.七选五The world where we live is a colorful place with different languages, skin colors, and different cultures. ____16____.

His clothes were simple, and his worn-out shoes had a small hole near the toe.Just then, a smooth, black car stopped near him. A kind-looking man, Tom, rolled down the window and asked, “How much for the tissues, young man ” “One dollar each, sir,” Liam replied politely. “I’ll take them all,” Tom said with a warm smile. He handed Liam a ten-dollar bill and drove away with the tissues. Liam’s eyes widened with joy. “Thank you, sir!” he shouted, holding the money tightly.Feeling excited, Liam decided to buy something he wanted most: a pair of new shoes. The ones he wore were too small and hurt his feet every day. He hurried to a shoe store he had passed many times. Through the big window, he saw a perfect pair of brown shoes. They looked strong and comfortable. But the price tag said $100. Liam stopped. He leaned closer to the glass, staring at the shoes.Tom happened to drive past the store again and noticed Liam standing by the window. He slowed down. From a distance, Tom saw the shopkeeper step out and speak gently to Liam. Then Tom saw the sadness on Liam’s face. Though Liam said nothing, Tom noticed how Liam’s fingers tightened around the ten-dollar bill and how his eyes returned to the brown shoes.At that sight, memories rose uninvited. Tom remembered his own childhood — the days of worn shoes and the shame he once felt when help came in the wrong way. But Tom also remembered one moment clearly: a stranger had helped him, saying only, “Keep going. You’ll earn your way forward.”Standing there, Tom finally understood. The boy did not need pity but the same respect he himself had once been given. It was at that moment that Tom made up his mind.注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡上作答：Para1: Tom entered the shoe store and went straight to the shopkeeper.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Para2: After paying ten dollars, Liam opened the shoe box, finding a card inside.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考答案1.D 2.B 3.A 4.A 5.A 6.C 7.B 8.C 9.D 10.B 11.C 12.A 13.B 14.C 15.B16.G 17.C 18.B 19.F 20.D21.B 22.B 23.A 24.C 25.D 26.B 27.A 28.C 29.B 30.D 31.D 32.B 33.C 34.A 35.D36.biggest 37.is 38.meaning 39.Historically 40.What 41.majority 42.whom 43.a 44.donated 45.its写作范文46.书信写作Dear Sherry,I’m writing to tell you my choice for the school English talent show.Between singing competition and microfilm performance, I finally choose to take part in the singing competition.

For another, singing English songs helps me improve my pronunciation and intonation effectively. Besides, it’s a great chance to show my talent and share beautiful music with classmates.I hope my choice will be suitable.Yours sincerely,Li Hua47.读后续写Para1: Tom entered the shoe store and went straight to the shopkeeper. He explained the boy’s situation quietly and asked the shopkeeper to sell the brown shoes to Liam at a discounted price of ten dollars without telling the boy the truth. He hoped to help the boy realize his dream while protecting his self-respect. The shopkeeper nodded in understanding and agreed warmly. After arranging everything, Tom left the store quietly, not wanting to be noticed by Liam. Soon, Liam gathered his courage and walked into the store, asking about the price of the shoes.Para2: After paying ten dollars, Liam opened the shoe box, finding a card inside. On the card were simple words: “Keep working hard and your efforts will finally pay off.” Moved and encouraged, Liam put on his new shoes happily. He felt warm and grateful, knowing that someone had silently helped him. From that day on, Liam became more positive and determined to work harder to change his life. He promised himself that he would pass on this kindness to others in need in the future.
