Fourteen-year-old Peter often gets helpful tips from his Big Brother, Paul, a 32-year-old computer programmer,
is not Peter’s brother. Instead, he is his mentor through an education program called “Big Brothers Big Sisters”.
Paul and Peter have been Big Brother and Little Brother for 1 year. Previously, they met constantly. They would
go to Starbucks, walk through different districts of the city or play games. When COVID-19 started spreading, the
relationship had to go completely virtual to ensure their health and security. Now things get better and they meet
more.
When school is frustrating（令人沮丧的）, Peter texts Paul and gets motivated. When he doesn’t understand a
math problem, he asks Paul for help. Paul even gave Peter advice on avoiding being distracted while having lessons
online at home, where he lives with four brothers and they talk, play and fight all in one space.
Older than Peter, Paul has had more life experiences. He helps Peter see things positively from different points of
view, but he never makes decisions for Peter. Peter said, “Paul makes such a far-reaching difference to my life, in my
education outside school in particular.” Paul said Peter had an effect on him likewise, saying that his life was
enriched. “If you want self-improvement, join in this program. Really, it’s in practice a job worth doing. I’d like to be
a lifelong Big. Brother of Peter, and more kids.”
Asked how it started, Paul said when he returned from abroad seven years ago, he started looking for ways to
help his community. Then he accidentally found the program.
The program makes the most appropriate matches. Kids from ages 6 to 18 can continue to get help until they turn
21. At present, Big Brothers Big Sisters has about 1 300 kids paired with mentors locally.

With the arrival of the summer heat, cultural-themed ice creams are once again trending across social media
platforms in China.
Museums, scenic spots, amusement parks and even universities have once again rolled out their unique cultural-
themed ice creams this year. These ice creams are often tiny copies of famous landmarks or cultural relies that offer
visitors a delight for the taste buds.
The trend of cultural-themed ice creams began in 2019 when the Old Summer Palace in Beijing was one of the
first scenic spots in China to introduce lotus-shaped ice creams. It was inspired by that in 2017 eleven ancient lotus
（莲花）seeds were discovered in a pool at the Old Summer Palace. Six of these ancient lotus seeds bloomed in the
summer of 2019. So to mark the occasion, staff at the Old Summer Palace designed ice creams shaped like lotus
blossoms. These ice creams were widely loved by visitors, not only serving as a cold treat but also offering a unique
way for visitors to sample and connect with their cultural heritage.
To protect their cultural relics, many museums have put up signs prohibiting photography or the use of a flash.
However, cultural-themed ice creams provide an alternative way for visitors to catch memories of their visit. Various
flavors offer visitors a choice of colors and ingredients for the ice cream, which reflect the local characteristics and
charm of these cold treats. It is also suggested by the museums that the visitors can take the carved ice cream bars
home with them to use as bookmarks.
For many young people, taking photos of themselves standing alongside cultural landmarks is an artistic
preference from their parents’ generation. To them, a selfie（自拍）with a cultural -themed ice cream is a much
cooler way to show off their travel experiences and bridge the gap between modern life and distant historical relics.
28. What can we learn about cultural-themed ice creams from the first two paragraphs?
A. Visitors spend much money on them. B. They may be shaped like landmarks.
C. Visitors are eager to try their taste. D. They are made due to summer heat.
29. What inspired the idea of cultural-themed ice creams?
A. The Old Summer Palace. B. The wide love by visitors.
C. The blossoms of the six seeds. D. The discovery of ancient lotus.
30. For what are cultural-themed ice creams well-received?
A. Protecting cultural relics. B. Remembering one’s visit.
C. Being used as bookmarks. D. Offering visitors various flavors.
31. Why do the youth take the selfie with a cultural-themed ice cream?
A. To do something different. B. To bridge the gap with their parents.
C. To show off their cooler way to travel. D. To show their connection with culture.

In the Pixar movie Up, a fun cartoon dog called Dug wears a magical collar which can detect and translate his
barks and cries into fluent human speech. Humans have always been fascinated by the potential to communicate with
the animals. This week, an article in the New York Times documented major efforts from a group of researchers using
machine-learning algorithms（算法）to analyze the different calls of whales, chickens, bats, cats, and more.
There are several ways to train AI systems now. Typically, Al systems learn through training with labeled data of
human language which can be well supplied by the Internet. But analyzing animal language is different. Scientists
have to instruct software programs on what to look for, and how to organize the data. This process requires matching
gained vocal（发声的）recordings with the visual social behaviors of animals. A group studying Egyptian fruit bats,
for example, also used video cameras to record the bats themselves to provide context for the calls.
Many critics of this approach point out two weaknesses of current AI language models: being unable to truly
understand the relationships between words and the objects in the real world, and scientists’ little understanding of
animal societies. Al language models for humans rely on a computer mapping out the relationship between words and
the contexts they could appear in. But these models have their own weak points, and can sometimes be a black box—
researchers know what goes in and comes out, but don’t quite understand how the algorithm is arriving at the
conclusion.
Another factor that researchers should take into account is that animal communications might not work at all like
human communications. There might be unique elements to animal language due to physiological and behavioral
differences.
Making a Translator for animals has been a popular project that’s been in the works for the last decade. Although
some software has shown some success in identifying the basic vocabulary of certain animals, it’s still a far cry from
understanding the complex animal languages.
32. Why do researchers use Al to analyze animals’ calls?
A. To tell the differences among animals.
B. To test Al’s ability of translating animal language.
C. To understand animal language better.
D. To explore the fun of communicating with animals.
33. What makes analyzing animal language different?
A. The lack of labeled data for training Al systems.
B. The difficulty in relating human speech to real objects.
C. The need for sound recordings to provide context.
D. The matching of vocal recordings with their calls.
34. What does the underlined term “black box” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A. Al language models to study animal communication.
B. The researchers’ study on animal societies.
C. The relationship between words and context.
D. The method of Al algorithms to draw conclusions.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Al systems for animal language translation.
B. Limitations of current Al language models.
C. Unique aspects of detecting animal language.
D. Challenges in creating a translator for animals.

A little more than three months ago, I began on a journey—one that required neither a backpack nor a plane
ticket. Instead, all I needed was a notebook and a pen. 36 Come rain or shine. No excuses. Just words on
paper, day after day.
Now, as I’ve crossed the finish line of this self-challenge, I’m here to share the invaluable insights I’ve gained,
hopefully inspiring you to give this powerful tool a shot.
I’m a great listener to everyone except myself. Most of us spend our days listening to others, through meetings,
phone calls, podcasts, or social media. But in that process, we often drown out（淹没）the most important voice—
our own. 37
My mind is an ocean, sometimes calm, often stormy. Through journaling, I was able to see my thought patterns
like never before. Some days, my journal entries were as calm as a peaceful ocean. 38 It was a daily exercise
in understanding that our minds, much like the ocean, have ups and downs.
The past is not a prison. 39 Regrets weren’t barriers, but guides showing me a better way forward.
Journaling became a form of self-forgiveness and a process of releasing the past events.
The future is a canvas（画布）. Journaling didn’t just make me a historian of my past; it also made me an
architect of my future. I was able to plan, dream, and visualize like never before. My entries were filled with ideas,
goals, and hopes. 40 My journal turned out to be a price less tool for personal growth and development.
A. However, they helped to get to know myself.
B. On others, they resembled waves during a storm.
C. Some mistakes were like the stormy waves on the sea.
D. Mistakes were not terrible failures, but stepping stones.
E. My journal served as a platform for my inner self to be heard.
F. I decided to commit to journaling every single day for 90 days.
G. For these, I could revisit, refine, and reimagine as many times as I wanted.

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 my tenth birthday—double digits—which would be a big day for me, and I would have the biggest party
ever. The guest list, which I kept at the back of my homework assignment folder, began with a few close friends. But
in the two weeks before that special Friday night, it had quickly grow n from seven girls to a large total of seventeen.
Nearly every girl in my fifth-grade class had been invited to sleep over at my house for a big celebration. I was
especially happy when each guest I invited excitedly accepted the invitation. I couldn’t wait! It would be a night of
scary stories, funny games, pizza and lots of presents, which would be a happy paradise（天堂）for kids. Who could
resist it?
But as I later realized, I would truly treasure only one gift I received that night.
The big night finally came. Every friend invited came to my house on time. We kept dancing, singing, talking
loudly and playing all pop games. As you could imagine, my family room was full of crazy shouts and bursts of
laughter. We had just finished a game of Twister and were lining up for the limbo（林波舞）when the doorbell rang
suddenly. I hardly paid attention to who might be at the door. What did it matter? Who cared? Everyone I liked from
school was there, in my family room, preparing for the game —to lean under the stick held by my two sisters.
“Judy, come here for a minute,” Mom answered the door and called loudly from the front door.
I hated to be interrupted. I rolled my eyes and shrugged to my friends as if to say, “Now who would dare bother
me at a time like this?” What I really wanted to say was, “It’s tough being popular!”
注意：（1）续写词数应为 150 左右；

I ran to the front door, wondering who it was, and then I stopped. ______________________________
