One of the most memorable volunteering moments for me was when I received a call from another volunteer who works for the Metropolitan Police.
“Loraine, I’ve found a pair of false teeth in the back of my car ... What do I do?”
“Well, give them back. I assume they aren’t yours? Who did you take home after the tea party?”
“Er, Peggy, Joan and Alan ...”
“Well, there’s your answer.”
“What do you mean? What should I do?”
“Well, you’re the detective!”
I’m 62 now and always planned to volunteer with older people when I retired. I knew there was such a big gap in the care and support this generation receives and I found the thought heartbreaking – no one should have to feel lonely and stuck at home.
Since I started volunteering three years ago, my team of volunteers have set up seven groups in our town. We host tea parties for those aged 75 and older who live on their own and regularly provide support, friendship and companionship for the most isolated (孤独的) older people in the community.
Working with my older neighbors is rewarding. To hear their stories and the hardships they have overcome is inspiring. I feel like I’m making a positive difference to the lives of older people by sharing my time with them, helping them stay active and social and making clear to them that they are valued by our community.
As an area coordinator (协调人), I also help recruit and manage volunteers, without whom none of the work would be possible. So many go above and beyond what’s asked, giving their time, energy and kindness, just because they care. I’ve found so much enthusiasm from people wanting to make the lives of our older neighbors better, and they are a constant source of inspiration for me.
I’ve met so many amazing people from all walks of life. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done and it’s enriched my life so much. I will keep focusing on reducing loneliness and isolation among the elderly and helping older people enjoy their twilight years the way that they deserve.
24. Why does the author mention the call in the first few paragraphs?
A. To introduce a volunteer she works with.
B. To explain why she started volunteering.
C. To show that she enjoys her volunteer work.
D. To describe a problem that older people often face.
25. How does the author feel about her work as a volunteer?
A. It is meaningful.     B. It gives her confidence. 
C. It is challenging.   D. It reduces her loneliness.
26. What quality of the other volunteers inspired the author?
A. Their people skills. B. Their creativity.
C. Their optimism. D. Their passion.
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Helping a neighbor out. B. Making lives less lonely.
C. Embracing retirement. D. Setting up a close-knit team.
C
In Florida’s Everglades, few species are more closely tied to the habitat’s health than an endangered bird, the snail kite. The Everglade snail kite is a raptor (猛禽), similar to a hawk, that eats just one thing: snails, a species that relies almost entirely on a resource usually abundant in the freshwater marshes (沼泽).
Over the last century, as much of the Everglades dried up, droughts contributed to the snail kite’s decline, and by 2007, there were fewer than 800 remaining. But the kite has bounced back recently thanks to an exotic (外来的) snail. It’s a rare case of an invasive species having a positive impact.
Robert Fletcher, a University of Florida professor who directs a snail kite monitoring program, said the invasive species was first spotted in 2004. Within a few years, it had expanded through much of the Everglades. “And it was around that time,” he said, “that we started to see snail kite number increase.”
No one’s sure about how the exotic snails were introduced into the Everglades. They’re related to Florida’s apple snails and are commonly used in home aquariums. The invader, the island apple snail, is larger than its Florida cousin. It lays eggs in the thousands in pink clusters visible on the stalks of many of the marsh plants.
Efforts to restore Florida’s Everglades have helped the snail kite and restored native vegetation. It’s been in the works for more than 30 years with a cost of more than $20 billion. But progress is increasing gradually, albeit hard to measure. In the meantime, scientists say the invasive snail may have helped pull Florida’s endangered snail kite back from the threat of extinction.
But Fletcher is concerned about the potential impact the species will have on the Everglades over the long term. He said, “What we should be thinking about is how we restore native snails to get those benefits rather than relying on this non-native species that can have damaging impacts on the ecosystem.” The invasive snails may already have caused losses to some native marsh plants, which indicates that trouble may come very soon.
28. What does the underlined phrase “bounced back” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Jumped B. moved C. recovered D. returned
29. What is a major cause of the snail kite’s decline?
A. The loss of habitat. B. The lack of food due to droughts.
C. The increasing number of hawks. D. The introduction of an invasive species.
30. What do we know about the invasive snails?
A. Their eggs are hard to spot.
B. Aquariums are an ideal habitat for them.
C. They are smaller than native apple snails.
D. They quickly increased in population around the Everglades.
31. What conclusion can be drawn from the last two paragraphs?
A. Restoring the native ecosystem is costly and time-consuming.
B. The invasive snails pose little threat to the local ecosystem.
C. The benefits of the invasive snails outweigh the harms.
D. Human efforts apparently have proven to be effective.
D
I’m used to seeing small leaps in technological progress, but occasionally, there are things that will still shock me. At the end of last year, a company called OpenAI released a truly jaw-dropping demonstration of a new AI technology that feels almost like technology has skipped ahead by a few generations.
This new AI technology is called ChatGPT, a computer program that can understand and respond to human language. It is trained on a lot of text, so it can understand what people are saying and respond in a way that sounds like a real person. What’s even more amazing is that ChatGPT seems frighteningly human in its ability to understand questions and answer them competently. “Write a story about Leonardo da Vinci in the style of Roald Dahl,” you can ask it, and it’ll spin up a pretty good children’s story.
One area where I’ve found ChatGPT to be enormously useful is its ability to write computer code. This has particularly amazed me as unlike the English language, when you write code it has to be very precise and carefully structured – but when I asked it to write me a program that would put some data into a database for me, in a particularly complex way, within seconds it generated something that would have taken me hours to do manually (人工地). 
ChatGPT isn’t completely human, however. For example, it sometimes generates things that sound true, but are actually just nonsense. This is because of the way the AI learns through pattern recognition. There’s no real intelligence operating there – it is just repeating something based on what it has “read” before. ChatGPT is better at some tasks than others: it can write a brilliant invitation email, but its ability to rhyme leaves a lot to be desired. 
And this is why I’m pretty convinced that ChatGPT is going to change the world, sooner rather than later. It’s already hugely impressive, but what exists at the moment is just a demonstration. Once the same AI is built into other apps and can connect to the live internet to learn more, it will become even more sophisticated. Our computers will no longer be just our word processors, but our writing partners too. 
32. What can we learn about ChatGPT from the second paragraph?
A. It can talk to people with emotion.
B. It seems like having a conversation with a real person.
C. It is unable to generate original content.
D. What it can do frightens many people.
33. Which aspect about ChatGPT’s ability to generate responses does the author feel to be particularly useful?
A. Its efficiency. B. Its precision. C. Its structure.   D. Its diversity.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. AI cannot think the same way as humans do.
B. There’s no real intelligence in the world.
C. ChatGPT has some limitations.
D. ChatGPT is better than other chatbot AI.
35. What is the author’s attitude toward ChatGPT?
A. Optimistic. B. Worried. C. Doubtful. D. Conservative.

My phone is showing that little red low-battery bar, so I need to plug it in immediately or else lose my connection. What if I didn’t recharge – no, that would stress me out. 36. ______________
The 2022 American Psychological Association annual survey on stress showed a similar flashing red alert: More than a quarter of US adults are feeling overwhelmed by stress – paralyzed, even numb. 37. _______________ No wonder we are commonly fatigued (疲惫的).
A study suggests that when people are under chronic stress for years, our mitochondrial enzymes (线粒体酶) weaken and our cells become prematurely aged. 38. ________________ Here are a few ways to create that positivity and tame the beast of chronic stress.
39. _________________ We can shape our environments to protect us from constant red alerts. Our attention is attracted to threatening information, as our screens so frequently deliver. To protect your precious attention and energy stores, turn off unnecessary alerts on your devices. Create spacious breaks within the day to unplug and focus on something restorative. Shift your attention to being present, to what you can feel grateful for and to connection with others. 
Immerse yourself in green. Being in crowded and busy places sends our bodies signals of danger. 40. _______________ Thus we can recharge our batteries with green space time – seek a park or gardens for sensory immersion that signals safety to our bodies.
The bottom line is that we can break our daily stress habits and create more energy. We can feel ease and balance by letting go of unconscious stress. Life is short. It’s even shorter while living on half a battery.
A. Redirect attention from threats to sources of joy.
B. Relieve yourself from tough work.
C. Stress uses a tremendous amount of energy.
D. Shift your environment according to your preference.
E. Nature facilitates the opposite, calming our minds.
F. But what if, besides recharging my phone, I took a few minutes to recharge myself?
G. The good news is, when we feel positive emotions daily, our mitochondria speed up instead, producing lots of energy.

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。
Braving the Waters
Joel Boyers and his wife Melody Among were heading home from the Nashville airport. Among had just earned her helicopter pilot’s licence when Boyers received a call from a stranger. The caller told him that her brother and his two daughters were trapped on their roof in Waverly, 60 miles from Nashville. They were surrounded by rising floodwaters caused by the heaviest rainfall that year.
Desperate, the caller begged, “Could you please, please rescue my loved ones?”
Boyers, 41, looked at the address the caller mentioned while glancing at the storm clouds. “Ma’am,” he said, “no one will fly in this weather ...” But even before he finished the sentence, Boyers knew they would go back up. “I’ve got a daughter myself,” Boyers says. “I’ll see what I can do.” He put the brother’s address into his phone and they drove back to the airport.
Before long they were in the air, unprepared for what they were about to see. It was nothing but raging water below them. There were two houses on fire. Cars in trees. Tons of debris(残骸). No one was going to be able to swim in that.
The flooding also took out cell phone service, meaning that Boyers couldn’t use his phone to pinpoint（精确定位） the house he was looking for. He flew on regardless.
As Boyers controlled the helicopter, Among began searching for people caught out on rooftops, bridges --- anywhere they could land and get them on board. Suddenly, she saw a teenager trapped in a tree. The teen, soaking wet and exhausted, was barely out of the water. Since there was no place to land, Boyers lowered the helicopter until it approached to just above the water line. Among jumped out and swam to the tree, where she helped the teen into the helicopter. The teen was shaking and looking behind anxiously when she said, “Thank you so much, but my sister and uncle ... please help them ...”
Boyers dropped off the teen on a patch of land across the street. Then he and Among were back in the air.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右；2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Seconds later, they spotted two people on the roof of a destroyed house.

Their mission ended 90 minutes after it began, when professional rescue teams showed up.

The event, called “Classic Reading”, will take place at 5:00 pm this Thursday in our school’s meeting hall. The students who participate in it will deliver a public speech on a classic work that they have read recently. These classics can include novels, plays and poems. I believe that we could benefit a lot from joining this activity.
Looking forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours,
Li Hua

Seconds later, they spotted two people on the roof of a destroyed house. They looked desperate, shouting loudly to the helicopter, “Help, help!” Boyers flew over to them and carefully lowered the helicopter near the victims. The pitched roof offered no room for him to land, so he had to attempt a risky balancing act. Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, and the helicopter shifted. They held their breath. Fortunately, they managed to save the victims, transporting them to a safe place nearby.
