About a decade ago, Lawson was at a beach in Virginia watching his kids build castles right

next to the waves.

“I kept trying to get them to come back because I thought it was a terrible idea,” he remarked.

He wanted them to build their sandcastles closer to the dunes. But they found it more exciting to

build right where the waves hit, seeing their sandcastles get destroyed, and then rebuilding them

with whatever debris washed up from the ocean. “It seemed so symbolic, somehow, of how life

works more than just building your perfect sandcastles,” said Lawson. When he decided to turn

that sunny day into a children’s book, the idea came to just use pictures. “It seemed like it would

work beautifully without words,” he said.

A Day for Sandcastles is illustrated by Qin Leng. It’s the second wordless picture book for

Lawson and Leng since 2021’s Over the Shop. Leng’s illustrations stay pretty true to real life.

Three siblings spend the day building sandcastles and watching them get destroyed by a flying

hat. “To me it’s a celebration of childhood and the simple joys of life. These are the things I like

to capture,” said Leng.

Leng spent part of her childhood in France, and she was inspired by European comic books

“What I love to do when I illustrate a picture book is add side stories to the main storyline. I always

think about the readers and the longevity of the book, and I want them to be able to discover

something new every time they revisit the book,” Leng explained.

At the end of the day, the sleepy-eyed kids pile into the bus that will take them home. “Those

last pages are some of my favorite. They capture that feeling like at the end of the day on the

beach, when it’s getting dark and you feel completely exhausted,” Lawson said. It must be a

universal childhood feeling: happy with sand, sticky from the salt, hot from the sun, and ready to

fall asleep the moment you get into the car.

24. Why does Lawson mention the scene where the kids built sandcastles?

A. To suggest a way to enjoy leisure. B. To remind readers of the childhood.

C. To convince us of how life works. D. To tell us the inspiration for his book.

25. What do you know about the two books mentioned?

A. They are purchased by kids universally. B. Readers can only find pictures in them.

C. They carry no elements of comic books. D. The stories are literally works of fantasy.

26. How does Lawson feel when telling us the last pages in the last paragraph?

A. Relieved. B. Pleased. C. Disturbed. D. Exhausted.

27. What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A. Childhood in sandcastles B. Beautiful childhood memories

C. Popular illustrated books D. Explore the mystery of nature

C

Rush up the stairs. Play games with your kids. Increasing the vigor (活力) of our daily

activities could have a huge impact on our long life, according to a new study of movement

intensity and death rate.

The study finds that as few as three minutes a day of vigorous everyday activity is linked to

a 40 percent lower risk of early death in adults, even when they do not exercise at all. “It is fantastic”

research,said Ulrik Wisloff, the director of the K.G. Jebsen Center for Exercise in Medicine at

the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

The study’s results join rising scientific evidence that adding a little intensity to our lives pays

big dividends for our health, without requiring extra equipment, instruction, gym memberships

or time. The idea that how we move influences how long we live is hardly new. Plenty of research

links regular exercise with longevity (长寿),including the formal public health exercise guidelines,

which recommend at least 150 minutes a week of moderate (适度的) exercise for health and

longevity.

More-focused research, though, suggests intensifying some of our exercise increases the

health benefits. In a 2006 study from Wisloff’s lab, for instance, just 30 minutes a week of intense

exercise dropped the risk of dying from heart disease by about half in men and women, compared

to people who were sitting long. Similarly, a study published last year in JAMA Internal Medicine

concluded that people who occasionally pushed themselves during exercise were about 17 percent

less likely to die early than people who did the same amount of exercise, but at a gentler, mild

pace.

Both of these studies, though, were based on people’s recall of how much and how hard they

exercised. They also were exercise studies, making them of interest mostly to people who exercise

or would like to, which does not represent the greater part of humanity. “If we’re honest, most

people are allergic( 过 敏 ) to the word ‘exercise,’” said Emmanuel Stamatakis, a professor of

physical activity and health studies at the University of Sydney, who led the new study.

28. What is the main finding of the new study?

A. There’s a connection between exercise intensity and long life.

B. Increasing the intensity of daily activity may affect our life.

C. Vigorous everyday activity is better than moderate exercise.

D. The way people choose to exercise determines people’s health.

29. What does the underlined phrase “pays big dividends for” mean in paragraph 3?

A. Brings great benefits to. B. Causes serious harm to.

C. Takes off the pressure from. D. Raises big money for.

30. Why does the author mention the study from Wisloff’s lab in paragraph4?

A. To explain the right amount of exercise improves health.

B. To show energetic exercise raises heart rates and breathing.

C. To prove adding some intensity to exercise brings more benefits.

D. To demonstrate exercise in a gentler way benefits people more.

31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. People’s subjective recall is reliable.

B. Most people like exercise to a certain degree.

C. The new study involves a great majority of people.

D. The new study has some limitations as previous ones.

D

An open letter, attracting signatures from the likes of Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Apple co-

founder Steve Wozniak, was released early last week. It advocates a 6-month stop to give Artificial

Intelligence (AI) companies and regulators time to make safeguards to protect society from

potential risks of the technology.

AI has progressed at an alarming speed since the launch of ChatGPT, from the Microsoft-

backed company Open AI. ChatGPT reportedly reached more than 100 million users by January,

2023, and major tech companies are racing to build generative AI into their products, which have

caught many off guard.

“I think many people aren’t well prepared for the pace and scale of these AI models. They

are ideal for spreading misinformation, cheating people out of their money and convincing

employees to click on dangerous links in emails,” says Michael Osborne, a machine learning

researcher of AI company Mind Foundry, who signed the letter. “I feel that a 6-month pause would

give regulators enough time to catch up with the rapid pace of advances.”

Privacy is another emerging concern, as critics worry that systems could exactly reproduce

personal information from their training sets. Italy’s data protection authority prohibited ChatGPT

on 31 March over concerns that Italians’ personal data are being used to train Open AI’s models.

Some technologists warn of deeper security threats. Planned ChatGPT-based digital assistants that

can read and write emails could offer new opportunities for hackers.

Unfortunately, many problems of today’s AI models don’t have easy solutions. One tricky

issue is how to make AI-generated content easy to detect. Some researchers are working on

“watermarking” —— creating a digital signature in the AI’s output. However, a recent research

finds that tools which slightly change AI-produced text can easily defeat this approach.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates tells Reuters the proposed pause won’t “solve the challenges”

ahead. He notes the people behind the letter are heavily involved in the tech world, which he thinks

gives them an arrow perspective on the potential risks.

32. What’s the purpose of the open letter?

A. To draw the attention of AI giants.

B. To present the risks of AI technology.

C. To call for a pause on the AI development.

D. To turn down the application of AI programs.

33. What can we infer about AI from the text?

A. AI models threaten human survival.

B. AI users have expanded out of control.

C. AI development brings potential dangers.

D. AI technology will replace human beings.

34. What does the author aim to show by mentioning “watermarking” in Paragraph 5?

A. It is hard to sign digitally. B. It is easy to detect AI’s output.

C. It is wise to leave a water mark. D. It is tough to settle AI problems.

35. What’s Bill Gates’ attitude towards the 6-month pause?

A. Favorable B. Negative. C. Ambiguous. D. Tolerant.

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。

The desire to be noticed by peers(同龄人)is a natural tendency. Your style – the way you

dress up, the way you carry yourself, the trends you follow – plays a key role in helping your stand

out from the others. 36 The following tips can help you.

Be yourself.

Why be a second-rate version of anybody else when you can be the first–rate version of

yourself? Nothing will help you stand out of the crowd more than your own features because there

can be only one you. Everyone has their own belief, their own way of thinking, their own

experiences that shape their styles. However, self-doubt and fear of disapproval drive many to

abandon their own ways and follow what everyone else is doing. 37

Keep an open mind.

Open-mindedness helps you see things from a different perspective, understand others, find

opportunities, and learn from others. 38 There are several styles that you should

explore and determine which suits your own personality. Nobody knows what fashion you are

enthusiastic about. But you should be clearly aware of your own true feelings about it.

Keep up with the recent trends.

Fashion is always changing. 39 As society changes, so does fashion.

Changing trends reflect the changes in people’s taste. Similarly, your sense of fashion changes as

you gain more experiences in life. Keeping track of the latest fashion will help you redefine your

style.

Wear your confidence.

Your attitude towards dressing can make a significant difference to how you look. You can

wear a very beautiful dress, but if you can’t carry it with confidence, it will not look good on you.

40 Don’t wear an uncomfortable dress just because everyone or your

friend is wearing it. Remember, it’s okay to have your own style as long as you are confident with

it.

A. Also, it tells a lot about your personality.

B. What worked yesterday may not work today.

C. Copying others will make you just another face in a crowd.

D. Having an open mind can be very helpful in defining your style.

E. On the other hand, even an average dress looks great on people who wear it confidently.

F. It is not absolutely necessary to follow every new trend, and you can enjoy the ones you like.

G. Simply following the fashion trends or wearing expensive clothes will not help you get a

distinct style.

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-篇完整的短文。

Roses are red, violets are blue,

Sugar is sweet, and so are you.

Those words were what one of my new classmates wrote to me in an autograph book(签名

簿)when I moved with my family to a new country, feeling extremely lonely.

Having settled in a completely unfamiliar place, my father and mother worked day and night

to provide for the family, though we were still in debt. I spoke a little English and was sent to a

public school. Being ten years old, I was placed in the fourth grade. Some of the children in the

class tried to be friendly but I didn’t have time to hang around with them after my lessons because

I had to help with the housework and look after my little brothers and sisters.

At the end of the school year, all the kids were excited about going to camp, a concept that

was quite foreign to me. Also foreign to me were some of the customs the children had. The

strangest one was the “autograph book”! It was a blank book, about four by six inches, with pages

in different colors. My schoolmates exchanged their autograph books with each other and wrote

silly messages on the pages. These messages made no sense to me: “Yours till the kitchen sinks.

” “Yours till the horse flies.” “Yours till Niagara falls. ”(永远属于你) Teachers and older

relatives wrote more serious and practical words like a prayer or wish——I remember something

about “a wise owl living in a tree”.(少说话多做事的人)

The boy whose desk was next to mine asked me to write a few words in his autograph book.

I didn’t know what to say, so I just signed my name. Then he asked if he could write in my

autograph book. I explained I didn’t have one, embarrassed and upset.

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。

That night when I went to bed, I felt sorry for myself. ________________________

The next day, the boy sitting beside me whispered he wanted to give me something at

break.

Dear teachers, parents and fellow guys,

It is a great honor for me to deliver a speech at the Coming-Of-Age ceremony.

On behalf of my fellow guys, I’d like to express heartfelt gratitude to our parents and teachers,

all for my speech. Thank you for your kind attention!

That night when I went to bed,I felt sorry for myself. I couldn’t help but thinking about

how different my life was from that of my classmates. They all seemed to have so much more than

me. I was missing out on all the fun that my classmates were having just because I was an

immigrant. Tears rolling down my cheeks, I felt lonely and hopeless. How I wished I could have

a life without anxiety for food and clothes and a school life where I could fit in happily.

The next day, the boy sitting beside me whispered he wanted to give me something at break.

As soon as the bell rang for break, he handed me a small box with a big smile. Inside it was a book

with multicolored pages——an autograph book——just like everyone else’s. Looking through

the pages, I was touched by those warm words written in the gift, tears welling up in my eyes. I

felt included and accepted for the first time after arriving in America. From that day forward, I

realized there were always people who were willing to help and make a difference in someone’s

life.
