“Hey, lady! You can move your ugly car up now!” The silver-haired driver behind me in a fancy truck rudely
yelled at me. Without much thought, I yelled back at the man, “What? Are you in a rush or something?”
I was waiting in line at the drive-through to order our breakfast on a Sunday morning. There were only 12
inches or so between me and the car in front of me. There were also three additional cars in front of that one. We
were getting nowhere fast. What was he hoping to gain by yelling at me?
I wanted to let my own anger go after this ridiculous exchange. But the more I thought about it, the angrier I
got. I was angry that he yelled at a mother in front of two kids. My daughter and my son were both confused and
saddened by what they had just witnessed. We were on our way to a soccer tournament, and we had a bonus day
free from school and work. Probably, there was nothing in the world to be upset about. Then this man let his anger
out.
I told my kids I was so mad that I had to roll my window up so that I wouldn’t keep yelling at this guy. Then, I
stopped and looked back. I had moved up the 12 or so inches at his “suggestion”, while he hadn’t moved an inch.
Suddenly, I felt sympathy for him. He must have been suffering in some way. As my kids and I slowly made our
way to the pick-up window to pay for our order, I had an idea.
“I heard how rude that man was to you, and I wanted to apologize to you for having to put up with that. He
isn’t worth paying for,” the cashier said to me. “My kids support me in doing that,” I answered the cashier, adding
that hate cannot drive out hate.
（ ） 24．Why was the driver angry with the author?
A．Her car cut in. B．She screamed at him. C．She held up his truck. D．Her car stopped suddenly.
（ ） 25．What does the author mainly tell us in paragraph 3?
A．What her kids’ reaction was. B．Why her anger kept growing.
C．How she calmed herself down. D．Why she ordered the breakfast.
（ ） 26．What was the author’s final decision?
A．She taught her kids a lesson. B．She apologized to the driver.
C．She paid for the driver’s food. D．She gave the cashier some advice.
（ ） 27．What does the author intend to convey in the text?
A．Respond to hate with kindness. B．Deal with a man as he deals with you.
C．Put distance between your car and another. D．Never go to the drive-through at rush hours.
C
Rogues （疯狗浪）, called “extreme storm waves” by scientists, are large, unexpected, and dangerous waves
that are at least twice as high as the other waves around them, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA). These abnormal waves, which happen every day and all over the world, are highly
unpredictable and can destroy ships that meet with them.
Rogue waves appear to form when large rough waves pass through one another, combining to form huge walls
of water, according to NOAA. However, why and where they appear is unclear. But using 700 years’ worth of
ocean data including historical records and data from buoys （浮标） in 158 locations around the world,
researchers have now created a system for predicting these “huge beasts”.
“They are caused by a combination of many factors that, until now, have not been combined into a single risk
assessment,” said lead author Dion Hfner. Hfner and his co-workers mapped the factors that may lead to rogue
waves and used AI to make a single model that could determine the likelihood that a rogue wave will form.
The team trained a neural network using historical wave data. This generated a system that learned the causes
of rogue waves by itself and could work to predict them. But the AI’s methods were hid in a black box. This means
scientists couldn’t know how the AI did its workings. So Hfner’s team applied another form of machine learning,
which produced an equation （综合体） when fed data, rather than just a single prediction, helping the
researchers to understand how the AI reached its predictions.
“Our analysis demonstrates that abnormal waves occur all the time. In fact, we registered 100,000 waves in
our data set that can be defined as rogue waves,” Hfner said. This system effectively shows the sign of a rogue
wave, Hfner added, and can better protect ships from being destroyed as the sail around the world. Ship companies
can use the device with the system to predict when and where rogue waves might arise to seek an alternative
course.
（ ） 28．How does the author introduce the topic?
A．By using an example. B．By giving a definition.
C．By drawing a comparison. D．By making an assumption.
（ ） 29．What can the system do according to paragraph 2?
A．Monitor huge sea creatures. B．Guide ships around in the sea.
C．Prevent rouge waves from occurring. D．Forecast the hitting of rogue waves.
（ ） 30．What is the disadvantage of the AI’s methods?
A．They aren’t visually available. B．They depend on too many factors.
C．They make inaccurate predictions. D．They don’t process data systematically.
（ ） 31．How does Hfner find the system?
A．It requires more field tests. B．It has been widely used.
C．It needs further improvement. D．It has a promising future.
D
When consuming information, we try to acquire more signals and less noise. We feel like the more
information we consume the more signals we receive. While this is probably true on an absolute basis, Nassim
Taleb argues in the book Antifragile that it is not true on a relative basis. As you consume more data and the ratio
（比率） of noise to signals increases, you know less about what’s going on and you are likely to cause more
unintentional trouble.
The supply of information to which we are exposed under modernity is transforming humans from a calm
person to a neurotic （神经质的） one. For the purpose of our discussion, the first person only reacts to real
information, and the second largely to noise. The difference between the two will show us the difference between
noise and signals. Noise is what you are supposed to ignore; signals are what you need to heed.
In science, noise is a generalization beyond the actual sound to describe random information that is totally
useless for any purpose, and that you need to clean up to make sense of what you are listening to. You can use and
take advantage of noise and randomness, but noise and randomness can also use and take advantage of you,
particularly with the data you get on the Internet or through other media. The more frequently you look at data, the
more noise you are likely to get, and the higher the noise-to-signal ratio is.
Say you look at information on a yearly basis—the changes you see will all be large ones. The ratio of signals
to noise is about one to one—this means that about half the changes are real improvements or degradations, and the
other half come from randomness. But if you look at the very same data on a daily basis, the composition would
change to 95 percent noise and 5 percent signals, and the changes you see daily will certainly be small.
（ ） 32．What opinion does Nassim Taleb probably hold?
A．It’s hard to know the real truth. B．The noise-to-signal ratio is changing.
C．The information explosion can be harmful. D．More information brings more signals.
（ ） 33．What does the underlined word “heed” probably mean in paragraph 2?
A．Notice. B．Analyse. C．Solve. D．Describe.
（ ） 34．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．Causes and harms of more noise. B．The meaning and impact of noise.
C．The relationship between noise and signals. D．Advantages and disadvantages of noise.
（ ） 35．How should we handle information according to the author?
A．Check it frequently. B．Make use of online data.
C．Look at key changes. D．Focus on all changes in it.

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。
Music is arguably the most life-enriching academic subject. 36 . It can bring lots of important benefits
to your child’s education, many of which you may not have considered before.
Increase language capabilities
Music and language have a far-reaching relationship. Musical training stimulates the same part of the brain
that deals with understanding language. Children who have some exposure to music al education will, therefore,
have a greater understanding of tones and how different phrases are arranged. 37 .
Improve hand-eye coordination （协调）
38 . It takes considerable hand-eye coordination to learn almost any instrument. Those who master their
craft are blessed with a unique skill; it’s something that can be applied to other areas of general life. It can also help
elsewhere in education, as writing skills and art require the hands and eyes to work together.
39
Music is a great way for your child to meet new people and create lasting friendships. If they decide to take up
music as an extracurricular （课外的） activity, they’ll be bonding with like-minded children who share their
passion. In a time when children are increasingly interested in communicating online and focusing on digital skills,
music is a refreshing return to face-to-face contact.
Bring about a sense of achievement
When your child does achieve a musical goal, they get the incredible satisfaction that comes from working
hard to obtain something. 40 . Self-trust is one of the most valuable skills a child can have and music is one
of the best ways to allow it to develop in your child.
A．Develop social skills
B．Encourage teamwork
C．In that sense, music is a great confidence builder
D．Hand-eye coordination is important in many sports
E．Learning an instrument to a high level is no easy task
F．It activates emotional responses and creativity like no other
G．It can be incredibly useful if your child is learning a second language

“Mum. I’m sorry I haven’t been there for you this summer,” I said finally. The 41 happened during a
park walk one Saturday. I hadn’t 42 it and certainly hadn’t planned it.
Had we not been walking together that morning, the expression of regret would have remained 43 .
From a young age, I’ve had my best 44 with my mum on walks. Perhaps it’s the fresh air; perhaps it’s that
a chat conducted 45 can be more fruitful than one conducted while we are staring at each other. Whatever
the 46 is, six months after she’d been diagnosed （诊断） with cancer and ten days after her 47
completely, we talked deeply again.
Her cancer diagnosis came as a 48 . Friends and family visited her one after another. But I 49
as usual: writing, teaching, and seeing her 50 . I was just busy, I told myself, refusing to face the sudden fact
that Mum wasn’t well and things were far from 51 .
However, just as other walkers find park walks an 52 to open up in a way they haven’t done before,
so do we. I was able to put my mixed 53 into words during our first walk after she became well again.
When we crossed the “finish line”, Mum smiled, “I feel free again.” The feeling, I’m sure, was 54 by
communication and exercise. We hugged each other and made our 55 : we’ll walk together once a month.

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。
My four-year-old son Jack had a vast collection of toy cars, his prized possessions. One day, I jokingly
suggested, “Jack, how about giving away some of your toy cars to the children who don’t have any?” “No, these
are mine,” he said angrily, holding on to his toy cars tightly. At that moment, I knew he didn’t grasp the importance
of sharing. Therefore, I decided it was time for me to teach him a valuable lesson.
The next day, I planned a special day out with him with the aim of gently getting him to open his heart. Our
special day began with a visit to the local park, a place where Jack always feels pleased. We found a tree coming
into flower, bathed in the warm sunlight. Nearby, a group of children were playing together. “Look, Jack,” I
pointed out. “See how they’re sharing their toys? Notice the smiles on their faces?” Those children attracted Jack’s
attention. He watched carefully as one child passed a bright red toy truck to another, and he noticed how their faces
lit up in a shared moment of happiness. It made him feel curious. I continued, “Sharing doesn’t just make others
happy, it can make you feel good too.” Jack kept silent with his expression becoming thoughtful and a bit doubtful.
On the way home, we stopped by a small community center which was hosting a charity event. Volunteers,
cheerful and warm, were collecting toys for the poor children. Tables in front of them were decorated with various
kinds of toys. Jack observed some children of his age eagerly contributing toys, their faces shining with pride and
happiness. “See, Jack,” I whispered. “A small act of kindness can bring great joy to you and others.” Jack made no
reply but from his hesitant look I could see he was struggling with an internal conflict.
