The Virgin Islands National Park is a tropical(热带的) paradise on the island of St. John, which covers more than half of the small island. It is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and the Caribbean Sea to the south, where the climate is warm all year.
The island's white sand beaches and clear blue seas are considered to be among the most beautiful in the Caribbean, gaining reputation and popularity among visitors across the world.
How the national park was formed
Laurence Rockefeller an American millionaire, businessman and was conservationist, He visited St. John in the 1950s. He quickly fell in love with the island’s clean, pure beauty. He first purchased a small resort there, Caneel Bay. He also purchased more than 2,000 hectares of the island and donated it to the government. That donation created the U.S. Virgin Islands National Park. It was officially opened as a national park on December 1,1956.
How to get to the park
The only way to reach the park is by boat. Some people arrive on their own sailboats. Others come in on large cruise ships, Visitors also arrive on water taxis from the island of St. Thomas.
What to do at the park
From the tropical hills to the blue waters, there are many things to do at the Virgin Islands National Park. Visitors enjoy fishing, camping, sailing, scuba diving, snorkeling(浮潜), and bird watching. Of all of the park's beaches, Trunk Bay Beach is said to be the most striking. Below the clear blue water is a 200-meter snorkeling path. Hawksnest Beach is also a popular place for snorkeling. Near the shore are three small reefs of Elkhorn Coral. The Elkhorn Coral gets its name from its shape. The reef looks similar to the huge horns(角) of an animal called elk. It is a very rare kind of reef. Scientists say itis in danger of becoming extinct.
The Virgin Islands National Park is often called America's paradise. It protects StJohn's pristine nature, and preserves the record of human history in the Caribbean.
Don't hesitate! Come here and put yourself in the paradise!

Boeing's Starliner spacecraft landed in a New Mexico desert late on Friday, months after its original departure date and without the two astronauts it carried when it launched in early June.
The Nasa astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore should have flown the Starliner back to Earth in June, a week after launching in it. But thruster(推进器)failures and helium(氦气)leaks marred their ride. Instead, they will remain at the International Space Station (ISS) for the rest of the year and will return in February aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.
Nasa ultimately decided it was too risky to return Williams and Wilmore on the Starliner. So the capsule contains their empty seats and blue spacesuits along with some old station equipment.
After Nasa's space shuttles were retired more than a decade ago, Nasa hired Boeing and SpaceX for orbital(轨道的) taxi service. Boeing ran into so many problems on its first test flight with no one onboard in 2019 that it had to repeat it. The 2022 do-over uncovered even more flaws and the repair bill topped $ 1. 5bn.
The Starliner finally blasted into space on 5 June from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station after unsuccessful launches on 6 May and 1 June. On the first launch attempt, a problem was found with a valve(闵门) on the second stage, or upper portion, of the rocket. On the second, a computer tripped an automatic hold just three minutes and 50 seconds from liftoff. That was later attributed to a single ground power supply fault within one of the launch control computers.
Even after it successfully launched, helium leaks continued to trouble the spacecraft. As the Starliner approached the ISS, two leaks were detected but Nasa determined the spacecraft remained stable. What started as an eight-day mission dragged on for three months after the leaks and faulty thrusters raised safety concerns.
However, Nasa and Boeing officials insisted that the astronauts were not trapped and that the technical difficulties did not threaten the mission, “We'll come home when we're ready,” Steve Stich, Nasa's commercial crew program manager, said in the press conference in July.
24. What does the underlined word “marred” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Underwent. B. Stimulated. C. Facilitated. D. Blocked.
25. What do we know about Boeing's spacecraft launches?
A. They were filled with delays and setbacks. B. Starliner's initial launch went smoothly.
C. The 2019 manned spaceflight was a failure. D. Reasons of the problems were still unidentified.
26. Why didn't the two astronauts come back to Earth on time?
A. Because the project went over the original budget. B. Because they were both in serious health conditions
C. Because it was dangerous to take the Starliner then. D. Because Nasa officials failed to reach an agreement
27.What can be implied according to the last two paragraphs?
A. The two astronauts would come back soon. B. Officials considered the situation within control.
C. Nasa officials were pessimistic and pressed. D. The mission would be completed in 3 months.
C
Actor Alicia Silverstone worried fans on social media recently. While on a trip to England, she posted a TikTok video of herself tasting a kind of poisonous berries she found along a sidewalk. Silverstonc, who appeared in the 1995 movie Clueless, said she thought the fruit was a tomato. But when she bit into it and found that it had an unusual taste, she realized that it was not the common food.
Plant expert. Jessica Damiano, recently wrote about poisonous plants that look like common foods for the Associated Press, She said the fruit that looked like a tomato appears to have been a Jerusalem cherry.
Often sold as a houseplant, all parts of the Jerusalem cherry are poisonous. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says the plant is not only harmful to humans but also to dogs, cats and horses. Eating large amounts can be deadly. Silverstone was lucky because she did not swallow the berries. She was also lucky because the berries were reddish orange. which meant they were ripe. While all parts of the Jerusalem cherry are poisonous, the plant's unripe berries can be especially dangerous. They can cause problems with the central nervous and gastrointestinal(肠胃的) systems.
The Jerusalem cherry is not the only toxic plant that looks like a safe one.
The poisonous Carolina horse nettle fruit also looks like a tomato. It is also known as devil's potato to add to the confusion, The Virginia creeper fruit also looks like blueberries, and it can be deadly if eaten. Wild parsnip has flowers like a carrot and leaves like parsley(欧芹).Simply touching it can cause a skin problem. Creeping buttercup looks like flat-leaf parsley. It can cause severe stomach pain, vomiting(吐)and heart problems. And Canadian moonseed can be confused with wild grape. However, its taste is so bitter that you would likely spit it out before swallowing it. This is a good thing because eating it can lead to death.
If you think you have swallowed a toxic plant by mistake, contact a poison control center in your area or your doctor immediately. There is additional information on the website poison. org.
Damiano advises using common sense with plants you find in the wild. [f you are not completely sure that something is food, do not eat it.28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To present the author's argument. B. To introduce the topic of the article.
C. To raise the public's attention of wild plants. D. To popularize the knowledge of medical science.
29. Why was Silverstone thought to be fortunate?
A. The berries she had a bite were ripe. B. She found the fruit she ate was a tomato
C. She had a good knowledge of wild plants. D. The amount of the berries she consumed was large.
30. According to the description, what plants can be most harmful to people?
A. Carolina horse nettle and wild parsnip. B. Virginia creeper and creeping buttercup
C. Wild parsnip and Canadian moonseed. D. Canadian moonseed and Virginia creeper
31. What may be the suitable measure if someone mistakenly swallows a poisonous plant?
A. Spitting it out as quickly as possible. B. Making an appointment with their doctor.
C. Getting in touch with the local authority instantly. D. Searching for the relevant information on the Internet.
D
Superhuman artificial intelligence has played a role in our life. When it comes to playing games like chess, or solving difficult scientific challenges like predicting protein structures, computers arc well ahead of humans. But we have one superpower they aren't close to mastering: mind reading.
We are blessed with a mysterious ability to reason the goals, desires and beliefs of others, a crucial skill that means we can anticipate other people's actions and the consequences of our own. If Als are to become truly useful in everyday life-to cooperate effectively with us or to understand that a child might run into the road after a bouncing ball-we have to give them this gift that evolution has given us to read other people's minds.
In psychology, the ability to infer another's mental state is referred to as theory of mind. In humans, this capacity develops at a very young age. How to reproduce the capability in machines is far from clear, though. One of the main challenges is context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply “it's raining”, they can quickly conclude the answer is no. But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences.
Besides, whether humans or Al, the theory of mind is supposed to emerge naturally from one's own learning process. Building prior knowledge into Al makes it reliant on our imperfect understanding of theory of mind. In addition, Al may be capable of developing approaches we could never imagine. There can be many forms of theory of mind that we don't know about simply because we live in a human body that has certain types of senses and a certain ability to think.
But we might still want Al to have a more human-like form of theory of mind Humans can clearly explain their goals to each other using common language and ideas. While letting Al form the theory of mind in their learning process is likely to lead to developing more powerful Al, plainly building in shared ways to represent knowledge may be crucial for humans to trust and communicate with AI.
It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It is also a stepping stone on the path towards a deeper goal for Al and robotics research: building truly self-aware machines. Whether we will ever get there remains to be seen. But along the way thinking about other people and other agents, we are on the path to learning to think about ourselves.
32. According to the passage, which of the following contexts can Al understand well?
A. When asked where an object is, a naughty kid points in the wrong direction.
B. When a teacher asks for a boy's homework, he answers “my dog ate it”.
C. When you are treated with a hotpot for dinner, you reply “a sore throat”.
D. When a mom tells her kid milk is good for health, the kid drinks it up.
33. Which statement will the author agree with most about theory of mind?
A. Humans’ theory of mind is far from perfect. B. Humans limit Al's theory of mind to an extent.
C.A's theory of mind development has been totally decoded. D. Shared forms of theory of mind result in more powerful AI.
34. What is the author's attitude toward truly self-aware machines?
A. Ambiguous. B. Conservative C. Skeptical. D. Approving.
35.Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. As Theory of Mind Will Define Our Future B. AI with Its Own Theory of Mind Is Expected
C. AI’s Theory of Mind-a Blessing or Suffering to Humans D. Theory of Mind Bridges the Gap Between Humans and AI

Oh no. Coach Cafferty just said my name. For that event. The two-hundred-metre breaststroke(蛙泳)for the coming meet! Not the backstroke(仰泳) I had wished and practiced for so long!
Beads of sweat popped out over my upper lip. Morgan pressed her elbow into myside. trying to offer me moral support. But it didn't help. My stomach sank to my knees like a brick in water. Morgan tried to convince me it would be fine. “Maybe Coach has more confidence in you than you think.” “Or maybe Coach Cafferty just want to give the rest a laugh when I sink to the bottom of the pool,” [ thought desperately. I walked towards Coach Cafferty and told her about my inability and my desire to quit this event. She frowned and asked if it was what I really wanted.
I hesitated. Placing her hand on my shoulder, she started smiling and encouraged me to push myself outside of my comfort zone.
The first practice was a disaster. I lost rhythm on my strokes(划水动作).I messed up my turns. l even had to stop and catch my breath a few times. I felt everyone was laughing at me and my stomach twisted. How could I make it within just two weeks? But once I dragged myself out of the water, exhausted and frustrated, Coach Cafferty thumbed up to me. saying I did really well and just needed more confidence in myself and more time to practice.
On the way back home, Morgan comforted me,“Dear, just ignore others. Race against yourself. Count your own strokes. Prove to yourself that you can do it.” With these words said to me almost every day, before or after each practice, something gradually changed: both how I swam the breaststroke and how I felt about the event as well as myself.
The meet finally came. I arrived at the pool hall, still a little bit worried. As each event clicked closer to mine, my knees shook. I bit my lip and looked out over the other swimmers. Morgan leaned forward. “Just swim your race. Remember, you can !”

1.续写词数应为 150左右;

Dear Mike，
Greetings from China! Hearing that the Chinese language will be an optional course in your school, I'm writing delightedly to give some practical advice on the decoration of your classroom.
As far as I'm concerned, to put up some unique traditional Chinese elements like paper-cuts and calligraphy work would be a good idea. Not only can they make the classroom more attractive and appealing, but they also carry rich Chinese cultural and historical information. Furthermore, you can put a bookshelf at the back of the classroom, where students can get easy access to the Chinese classics covering Chinese language and splendid culture as well.
I hope these suggestions will be of some help and you will create an amazing, Chinese learning atmosphere. Looking forward to your earliest reply! Best wishes!
Yours sincerely, Li Hua
第二节
Then the two-hundred-milestone breaststroke was announced. Heart thudding, I took my position. Barely had a whistle blown before I plunged into the water like an arrow, Initially, I couldn't focus on myself, with glances shot at other competitors from time to time. The racers on my both sides were so swift that they went ahead of me. Seized by tension, I laboured to accelerate but the distance between us got widened, anyhow. “Brush aside others. Just swim your race,” Morgan's words lingered in my head. I pushed my arms out and pulled in towards my chest, as well as kicked the legs out and pulled back. Gradually, I could feel nothing but my own rhythm. Before I knew it, I had swum 150 metres.
There was only 50 metres to go. However, my energy was giving out. My arms were on fire, my lungs were bursting and my legs were pillars of lead. “Prove to yourself that you can do it," Morgan's words occupied my mind. I gritted my teeth and pushed myself forward until the wall came into sight. I slapped it with what little power I had left, I came in last, As I dragged myself out of the water, there exploded thunderous claps and cheers, Morgan dashed over, throwing her arms around me. Coach Cafferty cast a satisfied grin at me. Suddenly, I was burning with a sense of fulfilment. The two-hundred-milestone breaststroke's finish line was my new life's starting line always race against myself.

37. G。由上文“The old boilers (锅炉) are not as energy-efficient as the very latest models in this field.(在这个领域.旧锅炉的能效不如最新型号的,)”可知,旧锅炉更耗能,G项“It might be high time to update yours if you haven't done so for years.(如果你已经多年没有更新自己的锅炉,现在可能是时候了。)”符合语境。故选 G。
38. B, 由上文“Only when you know how much energy you use can you take action to be less wasteful and more resourceful in this instance.”可知,这里讲要了解自己用了多少能源。B项“It means you should try to keep track of energy consumption.”符合语境,其中 keep track of energy consumption 与上文 know how much energy you use对应。有承上作用。故选B。
39. A, 由下文“But if you're lucky, your electricity provider will give you one for free. This monitor will provide you and your family with constant updates on the amount of energy you are using on a day-to-day basis.”推知,空处指出监控的价格不是特别便宜,但如果运气好的话,电力供应商会免费提供。A项“Generally，this type of device will cost between f25 and f40.”符合语境,其中f25andf40与下文for free对应,都在讲花费在这设备上钱的问题,所以本句有启下作用。故选A。
40. D, 由上文"With just a few years to go until climate change alters earth forever, now is the time for you to play your part in protecting the planet that you live in.”可知,作者号召读者保护地球,D项“By putting the above device into practice, you'll be green soon.”符合语境,其中 the above advice 指上面的建议,对上文有总结作用。故选 D。
41.B。根据下文中的 little planning、zero stress,以及全文的描述可知,探寻化石之旅重要的是让作者的内心得到平静,而low-risk 是最符合语境的。
42.C。根据上文的 journalism 以及第三段第一句的 newsroom 可知。
43.D。根据下句可知,作者“发现”了华盛顿到处都隐藏了化石这个秘密。
44.A。根据下文的 fossil hunting、looking for 可知,作者开始了“寻找”化石之旅。
45.B。上文说化石遗址离城市较远,所以需要离开城市去寻找。physically最符合语境。
46.A。根据下文的 like thinking over..可知,在寻找化石的过程需要反复思考,需要“耐心”和专注。47.D。本句是个比喻句,把在野外发现可识别的化石形状比喻成像是……,只有puzzle“拼图”符合语境,意为“拼图”，…像是对着在泥沙中的残缺拼图冥思苦想一样。
48.C。上文提到寻找化石的过程比较费力、耗时,由此推知,这些化石比较“稀有”
49.C。根据下文的 holds back the rest of the world 可知,手机的信号“不好”。
50.D。根据下文的 they have nothing but time可知,化石有的是时间等待作者来找到它们,所以它们不需要作者“立即的”关注。
51.B。根据上文的 and placed it within my sight可知,这块化石是作者整天想“关注”的事物。
52.D。翻看那块化石让作者的思绪暂时神游别处。
53.A。化石把作者带到了人类到达并“建造”城市之前的时光。
54.B。根据下文“l realize a lot of stressful details don't matter,”可知,作者意识到很多令人倍感压力的细节并不重TNGD
要,他担忧的心“平静了下来”

Dear Mike，
Greetings from China! Hearing that the Chinese language will be an optional course in your school, I'm writing delightedly to give some practical advice on the decoration of your classroom.
As far as I'm concerned, to put up some unique traditional Chinese elements like paper-cuts and calligraphy work would be a good idea. Not only can they make the classroom more attractive and appealing, but they also carry rich Chinese cultural and historical information. Furthermore, you can put a bookshelf at the back of the classroom, where students can get easy access to the Chinese classics covering Chinese language and splendid culture as well.
I hope these suggestions will be of some help and you will create an amazing, Chinese learning atmosphere. Looking forward to your earliest reply! Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Then the two-hundred-milestone breaststroke was announced. Heart thudding, I took my position. Barely had a whistle blown before I plunged into the water like an arrow, Initially, I couldn't focus on myself, with glances shot at other competitors from time to time. The racers on my both sides were so swift that they went ahead of me. Seized by tension, I laboured to accelerate but the distance between us got widened, anyhow. “Brush aside others. Just swim your race,” Morgan's words lingered in my head. I pushed my arms out and pulled in towards my chest, as well as kicked the legs out and pulled back. Gradually, I could feel nothing but my own rhythm. Before I knew it, I had swum 150 metres.
There was only 50 metres to go. However, my energy was giving out. My arms were on fire, my lungs were bursting and my legs were pillars of lead. “Prove to yourself that you can do it," Morgan's words occupied my mind. I gritted my teeth and pushed myself forward until the wall came into sight. I slapped it with what little power I had left, I came in last, As I dragged myself out of the water, there exploded thunderous claps and cheers, Morgan dashed over, throwing her arms around me. Coach Cafferty cast a satisfied grin at me. Suddenly, I was burning with a sense of fulfilment. The two-hundred-milestone breaststroke's finish line was my new life's starting line always race against myself.

W: OK. Next I will talk about one of my voluntary experiences. My best friend Katy lives near a beautiful white sand beach. Her parents take us there every summer. The water is clean and refreshing. Last year, there was an oil spill at Katy's beach. When we arrived at the beach that day, the white sand had turned black. It was an ugly sight. (17) At first, the rescue workers would not let us on the beach. We had to watch from a distance. We watched as they put a huge float in the water. This device kept the oil from spreading. Once they stopped the spreading, we were allowed on the beach to help. (18) Each of us was given a broom. We swept the oil into a pile. The workers took it away in big trucks. We all worked very hard that day to restore the beach. (19) Once the oil was removed, the birds that had been caught in the oil had to be helped. The workers showed us how tore move the oil from their wings. Then the birds could fly away to safety. (20) We were very proud of ourselves that day. We helped save our beautiful beach and the birds that visited it.
