My eleven-year-old son reads a lot, but for the past year he’s only been reading comics or graphic（图解的）
novels. In my view, these are the books made up, mainly, of cartoons and speech bubbles and are lacking in full pages
of text. As a PhD in classical literature, I turn my nose up at my son’s comics, considering them just picture books.
My son has argued well for his cause. His claim is that comics are literature or close enough and they do contain
many of the basic elements of any novel: plot, backstory, dialogue and etc. But my view is that language is unique.
The complicated details of plot, emotion, and inner thought that words alone can convey are surely lost when graphics
take their place. And if the pictures are already there for you, what work is left to the imagination?
According to the view of some experts on parenting, we should encourage our kids to love books in all shapes
and forms, without limiting the type of books they should love. I see their point, but I also worry that laziness might
be playing a role here and that’s a motivation I’m less happy to enable. Comics are simply easier to read than other
kinds of books; they demand less attention and my suspicion is that they become appealing for that very reason. While
this is a fine way to help early or reluctant（不情愿的） readers get into better habits of reading, I’m not so sure the
same is true for older kids. In an age of instant satisfaction from fragmentation（碎片化） reading, we are all losing
the ability to focus on longer texts, and that’s worrisome.
My son is in his academic and emotional development. I want him to be reading things that will challenge him
and force him to think deeply and critically, which will help him improve. Isn’t this what reading is for? Do his comic
books have such power?
24. What is the author’s attitude toward comics according to paragraph 1?
A. Dismissive B. Approving C. Unclear D. Objective
25. Why does the author think graphics cannot take the place of language?
A. Plot can only be expressed by language.
B. All the details cannot be conveyed by graphics.
C. Language can show the basic storyline more clearly.
D. Graphics fail to develop children’s interest in reading.
26. What do we know about the author’s son?
A. He likes reading books with full pages of text.
B. He thinks comics give much space for imagination.
C. He believes comics share many similarities with novels.
D. He claims comics are easier to read than other kinds of books.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To advise kids to get rid of reading comics.
B. To show the significance of reading for children.
C. To share her worry about her son’s choice of reading.
D. To compare the differences between comics and novels.
C
Smart technology is helping doctors provide better service in the medical field. At the2023World Internet
Conference Wuzhen Summit, Xia Bangbo, a doctor from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, showed a 5G+AR remote
emergency medical services system.
With this system, doctors at grassroots（基层的） levels can wear portable（便携式的） AR devices to
immediately connect with higher-level medical experts for communication, receiving advanced medical guidance. “In
medical work, especially in emergencies, what doctors need most is rapid decision making, which doctors at
grassroots levels currently lack in terms of response speed,” said Hong Yucai, director of the emergency department
of the hospital. He expressed that this 5G+AR system, using a communication system based on 5G and AR
technology for audio and video interactions, rapidly connects grassroots and higher-level doctors.
This 5G+AR system also uses artificial intelligence (AI). Even if a ship carrying it on the sea loses network
connection and no doctors are present, the AI doctor in the system will provide real-time guidance to those around.
Since its trial run at the beginning of 2022, this smart system has covered more than 40 county-level hospitals and
community health service centers in seven counties in Zhejiang.
Another way AI is being used in medical service is to collect and study data from smartwatches and wearables.
China’s company Zepp Health recently launched several AI-powered products to go with its existing smart wearables.
Zepp Aura, for instance, is a new software service that offers users tailored guidance, sleep analysis, as well as AI-
generated sleep music which adjusts in real time based on the user’s heart rate.
With the development of AI, big data, and other innovative tools, smart technology in healthcare will certainly be
changing the game in more ways.
28. What problem does the 5G+AR system solve?
A. The slow reaction of grassroots doctors to medical cases.
B. The poor medical equipment in remote areas.
C. The lack of communication between grassroots doctors.
D. The inexperience of young doctors.
29. What can the 5G+AR system do?
A. Improve medical level of hospitals in cities.
B. Collect data from users’ smartwatches.
C. Guide ordinary people to handle medical emergencies.
D. Provide audio and video materials for higher-level doctors.
30. Which of the following can best describe Zepp Aura?
A. Multi-functional. B. Cost-effective.
C. Groundbreaking. D. Lifelike.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Smart Technology Betters the World.
B. AI’s Development Promotes People’s Health.
C. Smart Technology Improves Medical Service.
D. Medical Field Is Changed Completely by AI.

In parts of Africa, people communicate with a wild bird called honey guide in order to locate bee habitats and
harvest their stores of honey. It’s a rare example of cooperation between humans and wild animals, and a potential
instance of cultural coevolution（共同进化）. Brian Wood from UCLA and Claire Spottiswoode from University of
Cape Town were leading authors on a study showing how this valuable partnership is maintained and varies across
cultures.
“Our study demonstrates the bird’s ability to learn distinct voiced signals that are traditionally used by different
honey-hunting communities, expanding possibilities for mutually （相互的）beneficial cooperation with people,”
Wood said. “Honeyguides seem to know the landscape well, gathering knowledge about the location of bee nests,
which they then share with people,” Spottiswoode said. “People are eager for the bird’s help.” The honeyguides also
benefit from locating the colonies: They eat the leftover honeycomb.
Spottiswoode and Wood’s study was done in cooperation with the Hadza in Tanzania and the Yao community of
northern Mozambique. Their prior work in both communities documented differences in how the two cultures enchant
honeyguides. Among the Hadza, a honey-hunter announces a desire to partner with the bird by whistling. In
Mozambique, Yao honey-hunters do so with a “Brr! …” followed by a “…hmm!”
Using mathematical models and audio playback experiments, the team studied these signals, their usefulness to
people and their impacts on birds. They experimentally exposed honeyguides in Tanzania and Mozambique to the
same set of prerecorded sounds. This enabled the researchers to test whether honeyguides had learned to recognize
and prefer the specialized signals that local honey-hunters used, or were naturally attracted to all such signals.
The honeyguides in Tanzania were over three times more likely to cooperate when hearing the calls of local
Hadza people than the calls of “foreign” Yao. The honeyguides in Mozambique were almost twice as likely to
cooperate when hearing the local Yao call, compared to the “foreign” Hadza whistles.
32. What do honeyguides gain by cooperating with honey-hunters?
A. Their nests can be better sheltered.
B. They can have access to more food.
C. They can locate bee habitats more easily.
D. They will be more familiar with the landscape.
33. What does the underlined word “enchant” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Shape. B. Guide. C. Investigate. D. Attract.
34. Why did the researchers use the same prerecorded sounds?
A. To prove the their usefulness to human beings.
B. To help honeyguides learn and recognize them.
C. To see if they make honeyguides more eager to share.
D. To check if the preference to them is born or acquired.
35. What can we learn from Spottiswoode and Wood’s study?
A. The honeyguides benefit more from the human-bird relationship.
B. The honeyguides are more responsive to calls from the local people.
C. The signals from the Yao were more effective in attracting honeyguides.
D. The ways to maintain this human-bird partnership are quite complicated.

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 Power of “Like”
Like it or love it, social media is a major part of life. Teens spend more than half of their waking hours online.
And most of what they do is read and respond to posts by friends and family. Clicking on a thumbs-up is an easy way
to stay in touch. 36
Clicking “like” on a post can increase the number of people who see it. If other people have liked a post, new
viewers will be more likely to like it too. 37 As a result, that popularity can feed on itself.
What’s more, viewing one’s own posts with a lot of likes activates the reward system in their brains. Positive
responses to teens’ own photos (in the form of many “likes”） tell them that their friends appreciate the material
they’re posting. 38 Seeing someone else’s popular photo, however, doesn’t necessarily turn it on.
39 In one 2011 study, teens doing driving task in a lab took more risks when their friends were around,
which suggested that teens were changing their behavior to try to get social approval. And they make similar changes
when using social media according to a research conducted last year. The research showed that popular photos might
signal to teens that what’s in those photos is socially acceptable. For example, images related to alcohol may
encourage teens to drink. That means that what you like online has the power to influence not just what others like,
but even what they do.
Joining social media can give people a sense of being in the know. However, posts may exaggerate（夸张）
how well our friends and others are feeling, making them appear much happier than we are. 40
A. It can also lower the viewer’s self-control.
B. Teens use it to learn how to handle their social world.
C. Many social media sites share more of the higher-ranked posts.
D. It’s no surprise that responses from peers affect how teens behave.
E. Their brains respond to those “likes” by turning on the reward center.
F. And that can, inappropriately, make us feel less successful than them.
G. But those “likes” can have power that goes beyond a simple connection.

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。
“Bang…!” Tina pushed the door open. She threw her school bag onto the floor and called out, “I’m home!”
There was no answer and the house was silent. It sounded empty but she knew it wasn’t. Her mum and dad were
working upstairs.
Tina got a glass of orange juice, went into the conservatory（玻璃房） and sat down in her favourite chair. The
garden was still in the dark afternoon. On one side, her mum’s garden was neat and tidy with boring short grass,
boring straight flowerbeds and boring straight paths. But on the other side, Tina’s Nature Garden looked wild and
exciting with big dead sunflowers and tall grasses.
“Nobody is interested in me. Mum and dad only think about their work,” she thought sadly.
Then she recalled: One month earlier, she learned in a magazine that many dogs were abandoned because their
owners got bored with them. One hour earlier, she saw a cute dog waggling（摇） its tail and licking（舔） her
friend’s face.
Tina knew today was special. Today things were changing. She couldn’t wait any longer. It’s time to talk to her
parents.
So Tina got up from her chair and climbed all the way to the upstairs. “Mum, I want a talk.” said Tina. “Just a
minute!” Her mum clicked on the keyboard, took off her glasses and turned to her daughter. Tina coughed, took a
deep breath and told her mum that she wanted a dog. “No, Tina. That’s impossible,” her mum said firmly. Tina went
to her father but got the same answer. She rushed it to her room angrily and shut the door with a loud noise.
Later, Tina’s mum knocked at the door and went in. “Darling, we know this is important to you. You can have a
dog if you take the responsibility. But look at your Nature Garden, your school bag, your bedroom! What a mess! Do
you think you can take good care of a dog?” said her mum.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为 150 个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Tina was lost in thought and decided to make some changes.
With the dog’s company, Tina began her busy but joyful life.
