Christmas can never go by without my remembering a certain little cat. I first saw her at Mrs. Pickering's.
“I didn't know you had a cat,” I said to Mrs. Pickering.
Mrs. Pickering smiled. “We haven't really. Debbie is a stray. She comes here two or three times a week, and we give her some food. I don't know where she lives.”
“Do you ever get the feeling that she wants to stay with you?” I asked.
“No.” Mrs. Pickering shook her head. She's a timid little thing. Just creeps in, has some food, then slips away. I looked at the little tabby cat again. “She isn't just having food today.”
I often visited the Pickering home and I always looked for the little cat. The last I saw was the little tabby figure flitting away across the grassy field. “I wonder where she goes?” I murmured. It was three months later that I next heard from Mrs. Pickering and it happened to be Christmas morning.
“I'm so sorry to bother you today of all days,” said Mrs. Pickering apologetically.
“Don't worry at all,” I said. “Which of the dogs needs attention?”
“It's not the dogs. It's… Debbie. She's come to the house and there's something very wrong. Please come quickly.”
Mrs. Pickering had a very worried look on her face as she led me through to the sitting room. Debbie was there, but she wasn't sitting upright in her usual position. She was lying quite still and huddled close to her lay a tiny kitten.
I knelt on the rug and passed my hand over Debbie's body. She was very, very thin, and her coat was dirty. I knew that she didn't have long to live.
Mrs. Pickering looked at me, and I saw there were tears in her eyes. “Isn't it strange—Debbie knew she was dying so she brought her kitten here. And on Christmas Day.”
Mrs. Pickering was stroking the kitten. The tears had dried, and she was bright-eyed as she looked at me.
“I've never had a cat before,” she said.
I smiled.” Well, it looks as though you've got one now.”
And she certainly had. The kitten grew rapidly into a sleek, handsome and bouncy tabby cat, and Mrs. Pickering called him Buster.
I was on my way home after visiting a farmer with a sick cow and I was looking forward to my Christmas dinner.
“Come into the garden,” said Mrs. Pickering. “I want to show you something.” She lifted a hard rubber ball, threw the ball across the lawn and Buster bounded after it over the frosty grass. He seized the ball in his mouth, brought it back to his mistress, dropped it at her feet, and waited. Mrs. Pickering threw it, and again Buster brought it back.
I gasped. A retriever-cat!
Mrs. Pickering turned to me. “Have you ever seen anything like that?”
“No,” I replied. “He is a most remarkable cat.”
“Debbie would be pleased,” she said.
31. What does the underlined word “a stray” in paragraph 3 mean in this passage?
A. a lost cat B. a friendly cat C. a strange cat D. a special cat
32. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Debbie doesn't care about Mrs. Pickering.
B. Debbie has a mixed feeling during her stay in Mrs. Pickering's house.
C. Mrs. Pickering prefers cats to dogs.
D. Debbie is thankful to Mrs. Pickering.
33. Which is the best title for the story?
A. A Retriever-cat. B. A Kind Woman.
C. The Best Christmas Present. D. Debbie and Mrs. Pickering.
D
Mattel is known for making children's toys. The company recently used an AI image generator called DALL-E to come up with ideas for new toy cars The used vehicle seller CarMax is using ChatGPT to gather thousands of customer comments. The social media service Snapchat has added a chatbot to its messaging service. And Instacart, a delivery service, now uses ChatGPT to answer food questions.
Even the Coca-Cola company plans to use AI to help create new marketing content. It has not said exactly how it plans to use the technology. But the move shows that businesses are under stress to use the tools that many of their employees and customers are already trying on their own.
“We must take the risks,” Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey said in a video announcing a partnership with OpenAI—maker of both DALL-E and ChatGPT. Some experts warn that businesses should carefully consider possible harms to customers, society, and their own companies before choosing to use AI tools in the workplace.
Claire Leibowicz is with The Partnership on AI, a non-profit group. “I want people to think deeply before using this technology,” Leibowicz said. “They should play around…. but we should also think, what purpose are these tools serving in the first place?” There is a reason for the concern.
While text generators like ChatGPT can make the process of writing emails and marketing documents faster and easier, they also appear to present misinformation as fact.
And image generators like DALL-E are trained in copying widely available digital art and photography. This has raised copyright concerns from the creators of those works. “For companies that are really in the creative industry, if they want to make sure that they have copyright protection for those models, that's still an open question,” said Anna Gressel. She is with the law firm Debevoise & Plimpton, which advises businesses on how to use AI.
Gressel said it is safer to use AI tools as a “thought partner” but still people as the creator of final products.
Rowan Curran is with the research and advisory company Forrester. He said AI tools should speed up some office work much like using word processors and spell checkers.
The growing interest in AI tools among the public has fueled growing competition among technology companies Microsoft, Amazon and Google.
Microsoft announced earlier this year it was spending billions more dollars on its partnership with OpenAI. Google is adding Bard chatbot to its search engine. And Amazon started working with Hugging Face to develop Bloom, a competitor to ChatGPT.
34. The writer mentioned several companies from Paragraph 1 to 2 to ____________.
A. tell a story B. solve a problem C. introduce a subject D. give an example
35. What does the underlined word “concern” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Worry B. Problem C. Unhappiness D. Thought
36. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The usage of artificial intelligence (AI) tools remains to be explored.
B. More actions should be taken to reduce the risk of artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
C. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools require to be improved.
D. More people will care about artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
37. The public are ____________about the future of artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
A. crazy B. uncertain C. worried D. confident

For many time-poor, health-conscious people, the must-have kitchen gadget at the moment is an air fryer. From top cooks to humble students, many are singing the praises of the device (设备) that seems to be flying off the shelves at shops and online. One British department store reported sales increased by 400% in 2021. But are they really the best thing?
An air fryer needn't deep-fry food in hot and often unhealthy oil. Instead, the food is cooked by having very hot air blown on it at high speed- it doesn't fry but bakes the food.
The technology sounds simple, and Dr Jakub Radzikowski, Culinary Education Designer at Imperial College London, said, “You could compare it to drying your hair with a hairdryer.” The combination of a powerful fan and a smaller compartment (隔间) makes the air fryer more efficient and reduces the time needed to pre-heat it. In addition, because the food is cooked in a basket, extra fat will drip to the bottom, so you don't have to eat it. And it's good to know air fryers use less energy than a traditional oven because of the shorter cooking times needed.
Some people may question the uses of the air fryers. Can they be used for cooking whole meals? However, experts have prepared crispy sweet potato fries, chips, and chicken and fish, quickly and with good flavoursome results - cooked to perfection. Dr Jakub Radzikowski's favourite is chicken legs or thighs, which he says after 20 minutes gives you something that's “perfectly juicy inside” with a skin that is so crispy it “shatters like glass”.

Possible version:
Great Changes in My Growth
Time goes by, and people sure change. I am not the little kid any more. I am quite different from what I used to be.
When I was young, I couldn’t read or write. I was a slow reader. Now I read something I enjoy every day to increase my reading speed. I start to become interested in reading. What’s more, I had difficulty in learning English so I didn’t like English in the past. At present, I have found some ways to improve my English, such as listening to English songs, reading English newspapers and magazines.
In the future, I hope I can become better and let my parents be proud of me. Besides, I will work harder to enter my ideal high school. (100词)

Christmas can never go by without my remembering a certain little cat. I first saw her at Mrs. Pickering's.
“I didn't know you had a cat,” I said to Mrs. Pickering.
Mrs. Pickering smiled. “We haven't really. Debbie is a stray. She comes here two or three times a week, and we give her some food. I don't know where she lives.”
“Do you ever get the feeling that she wants to stay with you?” I asked.
“No.” Mrs. Pickering shook her head. She's a timid little thing. Just creeps in, has some food, then slips away. I looked at the little tabby cat again. “She isn't just having food today.”
I often visited the Pickering home and I always looked for the little cat. The last I saw was the little tabby figure flitting away across the grassy field. “I wonder where she goes?” I murmured. It was three months later that I next heard from Mrs. Pickering and it happened to be Christmas morning.
“I'm so sorry to bother you today of all days,” said Mrs. Pickering apologetically.
“Don't worry at all,” I said. “Which of the dogs needs attention?”
“It's not the dogs. It's… Debbie. She's come to the house and there's something very wrong. Please come quickly.”
Mrs. Pickering had a very worried look on her face as she led me through to the sitting room. Debbie was there, but she wasn't sitting upright in her usual position. She was lying quite still and huddled close to her lay a tiny kitten.
I knelt on the rug and passed my hand over Debbie's body. She was very, very thin, and her coat was dirty. I knew that she didn't have long to live.
Mrs. Pickering looked at me, and I saw there were tears in her eyes. “Isn't it strange—Debbie knew she was dying so she brought her kitten here. And on Christmas Day.”
Mrs. Pickering was stroking the kitten. The tears had dried, and she was bright-eyed as she looked at me.
“I've never had a cat before,” she said.
I smiled.” Well, it looks as though you've got one now.”
And she certainly had. The kitten grew rapidly into a sleek, handsome and bouncy tabby cat, and Mrs. Pickering called him Buster.
I was on my way home after visiting a farmer with a sick cow and I was looking forward to my Christmas dinner.
“Come into the garden,” said Mrs. Pickering. “I want to show you something.” She lifted a hard rubber ball, threw the ball across the lawn and Buster bounded after it over the frosty grass. He seized the ball in his mouth, brought it back to his mistress, dropped it at her feet, and waited. Mrs. Pickering threw it, and again Buster brought it back.
I gasped. A retriever-cat!
Mrs. Pickering turned to me. “Have you ever seen anything like that?”
“No,” I replied. “He is a most remarkable cat.”
“Debbie would be pleased,” she said.
31. What does the underlined word “a stray” in paragraph 3 mean in this passage?
A. a lost cat B. a friendly cat C. a strange cat D. a special cat
32. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Debbie doesn't care about Mrs. Pickering.
B. Debbie has a mixed feeling during her stay in Mrs. Pickering's house.
C. Mrs. Pickering prefers cats to dogs.
D. Debbie is thankful to Mrs. Pickering.
33. Which is the best title for the story?
A. A Retriever-cat. B. A Kind Woman.
C. The Best Christmas Present. D. Debbie and Mrs. Pickering.

Mattel is known for making children's toys. The company recently used an AI image generator called DALL-E to come up with ideas for new toy cars The used vehicle seller CarMax is using ChatGPT to gather thousands of customer comments. The social media service Snapchat has added a chatbot to its messaging service. And Instacart, a delivery service, now uses ChatGPT to answer food questions.
Even the Coca-Cola company plans to use AI to help create new marketing content. It has not said exactly how it plans to use the technology. But the move shows that businesses are under stress to use the tools that many of their employees and customers are already trying on their own.
“We must take the risks,” Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey said in a video announcing a partnership with OpenAI—maker of both DALL-E and ChatGPT. Some experts warn that businesses should carefully consider possible harms to customers, society, and their own companies before choosing to use AI tools in the workplace.
Claire Leibowicz is with The Partnership on AI, a non-profit group. “I want people to think deeply before using this technology,” Leibowicz said. “They should play around…. but we should also think, what purpose are these tools serving in the first place?” There is a reason for the concern.
While text generators like ChatGPT can make the process of writing emails and marketing documents faster and easier, they also appear to present misinformation as fact.
And image generators like DALL-E are trained in copying widely available digital art and photography. This has raised copyright concerns from the creators of those works. “For companies that are really in the creative industry, if they want to make sure that they have copyright protection for those models, that's still an open question,” said Anna Gressel. She is with the law firm Debevoise & Plimpton, which advises businesses on how to use AI.
Gressel said it is safer to use AI tools as a “thought partner” but still people as the creator of final products.
Rowan Curran is with the research and advisory company Forrester. He said AI tools should speed up some office work much like using word processors and spell checkers.
The growing interest in AI tools among the public has fueled growing competition among technology companies Microsoft, Amazon and Google.
Microsoft announced earlier this year it was spending billions more dollars on its partnership with OpenAI. Google is adding Bard chatbot to its search engine. And Amazon started working with Hugging Face to develop Bloom, a competitor to ChatGPT.
34. The writer mentioned several companies from Paragraph 1 to 2 to ____________.
A. tell a story B. solve a problem C. introduce a subject D. give an example
35. What does the underlined word “concern” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Worry B. Problem C. Unhappiness D. Thought
36. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The usage of artificial intelligence (AI) tools remains to be explored.
B. More actions should be taken to reduce the risk of artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
C. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools require to be improved.
D. More people will care about artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
37. The public are ____________about the future of artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
A. crazy B. uncertain C. worried D. confident

For many time-poor, health-conscious people, the must-have kitchen gadget at the moment is an air fryer. From top cooks to humble students, many are singing the praises of the device (设备) that seems to be flying off the shelves at shops and online. One British department store reported sales increased by 400% in 2021. But are they really the best thing?
An air fryer needn't deep-fry food in hot and often unhealthy oil. Instead, the food is cooked by having very hot air blown on it at high speed- it doesn't fry but bakes the food.
The technology sounds simple, and Dr Jakub Radzikowski, Culinary Education Designer at Imperial College London, said, “You could compare it to drying your hair with a hairdryer.” The combination of a powerful fan and a smaller compartment (隔间) makes the air fryer more efficient and reduces the time needed to pre-heat it. In addition, because the food is cooked in a basket, extra fat will drip to the bottom, so you don't have to eat it. And it's good to know air fryers use less energy than a traditional oven because of the shorter cooking times needed.
Some people may question the uses of the air fryers. Can they be used for cooking whole meals? However, experts have prepared crispy sweet potato fries, chips, and chicken and fish, quickly and with good flavoursome results - cooked to perfection. Dr Jakub Radzikowski's favourite is chicken legs or thighs, which he says after 20 minutes gives you something that's “perfectly juicy inside” with a skin that is so crispy it “shatters like glass”.

Possible version:
Great Changes in My Growth
Time goes by, and people sure change. I am not the little kid any more. I am quite different from what I used to be.
When I was young, I couldn’t read or write. I was a slow reader. Now I read something I enjoy every day to increase my reading speed. I start to become interested in reading. What’s more, I had difficulty in learning English so I didn’t like English in the past. At present, I have found some ways to improve my English, such as listening to English songs, reading English newspapers and magazines.
In the future, I hope I can become better and let my parents be proud of me. Besides, I will work harder to enter my ideal high school. (100词)
