something to read? yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed. well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. in the san francisco bay area, at least. “you enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says alicia trost, the chief communications officer for the san francisco bay area rapid transit — known as bart. “you choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”it’s that simple. riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last march. some are classic short stories, and some are new original works. trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “we wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the bay area to submit stories for a contest,” trost says. “and as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. the winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit? trost thinks so. “at the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. so i absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says. and you’ll never be without something to read.4. why did bart start the kiosk program?a. to promote the local culture. b. to discourage phone use.c. to meet passengers’ needs. d. to reduce its running costs.5. how are the stories categorized in the kiosk?a. by popularity. b. by length.c. by theme. d. by language.6. what has trost been doing recently?a. organizing a story contest. b. doing a survey of customers.c. choosing a print publisher. d. conducting interviews with artists.7. what is trost’s opinion about bart’s future?a. it will close down. b. its profits will decline.c. it will expand nationwide. d. its ridership will increase.cwe all know fresh is best when it comes to food. however, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. while farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, babylon micro-farm (bmf) shortens it even more. bmf is an indoor garden system. it can be set up for a family. additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. the innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens. specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. by connecting through the cloud, bmf is remotely monitored. also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. after harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started. moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. in addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment. bmf employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. about half of them walk or bike to work. inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “we are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a bmf employee.8. what can be learned about bmf from paragraph 1?a. it guarantees the variety of food. b. it requires day-to-day care.c. it cuts the farm-to-table distance. d. it relies on farmer’s markets.9. what information does the convenient app offer?a. real-time weather changes. b. current condition of the plants.c. chemical pollutants in the soil. d. availability of pre-seeded pods.10. what can be concluded about bmf employees?a. they have a great passion for sports.b. they are devoted to community service.c. they are fond of sharing daily experiences.d. they have a strong environmental awareness.11. what does the text mainly talk about?a. bmf’s major strengths. b. bmf’s general management.c. bmf’s global influence. d. bmf’s technical standards.dgiven the astonishing potential of ai to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our ai-powered future, and this is where ai by design: a plan for living with artificial intelligence comes in. this absorbing new book by catriona campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming ai revolution (变革). in the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers ai but, thankfully, campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. she writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as ai. as we soon come to learn from ai by design, ai is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-ai” to artificial general intelligence. from there, campbell says, will come artificial dominant intelligence. this is why campbell has set out to raise awareness of ai and its future now — several decades before these developments are expected to take place. she says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse. campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for ai-the technology companies and world leaders—so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. she explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. we need to consider how we want our future with ai to pan out. such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall. ai will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.12. what does the phrase “in the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean?a if read by someone poorly educated. b. if reviewed by someone ill-intentioned.c. if written by someone less competent. d. if translated by someone unacademic.13. what is a feature of ai by design according to the text?a. it is packed with complex codes. b. it adopts a down-to-earth writing style.c. it provides step-by-step instructions. d. it is intended for ai professionals.14. what does campbell urge people to do regarding ai development?a. observe existing regulations on it.b. reconsider expert opinions about it.c. make joint efforts to keep it under control.d. learn from prior experience to slow it down.15. what is the author’s purpose in writing the text?a. to recommend a book on ai. b. to give a brief account of ai history.c. to clarify the definition of ai. d. to honor an outstanding ai expert.第二节（共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分）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。overtourism is for real: how

crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought.that was when i met gunter. i told him where i was going, but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station. i thought my pronunciation was the problem, so i explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. when i was about to give up, gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. after a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, gunter put his phone down and started the car.finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. "we made it," he said.just then i realised that i had zero cash in my wallet. i flashed him an apologetic smile as i pulled out my portuguese bankcard. he tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. a feeling of helplessness washed over me as i saw the bus queue thinning out.at this moment, gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. there, at the entrance, was a cash machine. i jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: "out of order. sorry."注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右；（2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。i

the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. while farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, babylon micro-farm (bmf) shortens it even more. bmf is an indoor garden system. it can be set up for a family. additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. the innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens. specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. by connecting through the cloud, bmf is remotely monitored. also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. after harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started. moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. in addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment. bmf employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. about half of them walk or bike to work. inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction

"we made it," he said.just then i realised that i had zero cash in my wallet. i flashed him an apologetic smile as i pulled out my portuguese bankcard. he tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. a feeling of helplessness washed over me as i saw the bus queue thinning out.at this moment, gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. there, at the entrance, was a cash machine. i jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: "out of order. sorry."注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右；（2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。i ran back to gunter and told him the bad news.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________four days later, when i was back in vienna, i called gunter as promised.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】参考范文para 1i ran back to gunter and told him the bad news. he looked at me in disbelief, asking me what to do. flashing him another apologetic smile, i begged him for a delayed payment. “if i miss this last bus to prague, i’ll be late for the conference which is so important that i can’t afford to miss it!” i explained. “may i have your phone number? i will call you and return the money i owe you. i promise i will keep my word or you keep my watch!” i added, handing him my watch as well as my business card. gunter accepted my business card but rejected my watch. he wrote down his phone number and gave it to me. “just keep your promise, sir.” a feeling of gratitude washed over me as i heard his words. giving him a firm handshake, i jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the bus, and jumped onto it just before its departure.para 2four days later, when i was back in vienna, i called gunter as promised. he picked me up at the bus station where he had dropped me off four days before. beaming a warm smile at him, i gave him a big hug the moment i saw him. we chatted happily on the way to the airport. i told him that thanks to his generosity and timely help, everything had gone smoothly. when he stopped his taxi outside the airport, i paid him for the “double car ride”, back and forth from the airport to the bus station, together with a generous tip that he turned down. i also gave him an attractive souvenir i had bought at prague, which he accepted with delight. we became good friends and kept in touch with each other regularly. i felt blessed to have such a warm-hearted friend like gunter.【解析】【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一次因风暴延误的旅途中，匆忙搭乘出租车前往车站赶最后一班去布拉格的公共汽车。司机冈特不熟悉车站位置，通过电话求助后顺利抵达。到达时作者却发现自己没带现金，尝试用葡萄牙银行卡支付没有成功，而车站的取款机也故障了。【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句内容“我跑回到冈特那里，告诉他这个坏消息。”可知，第一段可描写作者留下冈特的电话，承诺会还钱给对方，冈特同意，最终作者及时登上了公共汽车。②由第二段首句内容“四天后，当我回到维也纳时，我按照承诺给冈特打了电话。”可知，第二段可描写作者付费给冈特，并向对方表示感激，两人成为了好朋友。2.续写线索：作者给出解决办法——承诺还钱——冈特同意——作者登上公共汽车——履行承诺还钱——两人成为朋友3.词汇激活行为类①拒绝：reject/refuse②给某人拥抱：give sb. a hug/embrace sb.③记下，写下：write down/set down情绪类①难以置信地：in disbelief/incredibly/unbelievably②开心地：happily/joyfully【点睛】【高分句型1】he picked me up at the bus station where he had dropped me off four days before.（运用了where引导的限制性定语从句）【高分句型2】when he stopped his taxi outside the airport, i paid him for the “double car ride”, back and forth from the airport to the bus station, together with a generous tip that he turned down.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句，that引导的限制性定语从句）英语听力注意事项: 英语听力共两节,20小题,每小题1.5分,满分30分。第一部分听力（共两节,满分30分）做题时,先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后,你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。第一节（共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分）听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的a、b、c三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。例: how much is the shirt?
