Aesha Ash is a ballet dancer who began The Swan Dreams Project in 2011. It is a program designed to bring ballet to girls of color in her community. Aesha Ash is one of the few women of color to ever grace the stages of the School of American Ballet in New York City. She wants to expose her community to more positive images of women of color through the use of ballet. She wants to show the world that beauty and grace are not defined by status or race.
Aesha grew up in the inner city of Rochester, New York, where crime, gun violence and poverty were among the biggest threats to the community. For her, that’s normal. That’s just life in the neighborhood, but what she remembers most is the dance studio. She started dancing at the age of five. A teacher mentioned to her mother that she had some promise in ballet, and that it would be difficult for her, as a woman of color, to enter the ballet world. But the hardship she faced was the very thing that pushed her to pursue a career in ballet.
And there’s so much negative stereotypes (刻板印象) and misunderstanding of who they are in the media. Through the use of imagery and her career as a ballet dancer, she challenges stereotypes that exist for women of color, particularly those from inner-city communities.
“It’s important that our girls see that side of themselves because for many kids it’s hard to be what you can’t see. I hadn’t seen a black ballet dancer before I decided that was what I wanted to be. It was really important for me to be in my environment displaying that because this is where I’m from. It was always beyond ballet,” Aesha Ash stated.
24．Why did Aesha start The Swan Dreams Project
A．To promote the images of females of color by ballet.
B．To expose her community to a world of women of color.
C．To grace the stages of the School of American Ballet.
D．To show the world that beauty and grace are defined by status.
25．Which of the following best describes the community she grew up in
A．Comfortable. B．Ancient. C．Peaceful. D．Unsafe.
26．What can’t we know from the passage
A．Aesha had a gift for ballet according to her teacher.
B．The hardship Aesha faced was the color of her skin.
C．Acsha wanted to be a ballet dancer because of a woman dancer of color.
D．It is not easy to change the stereotypes that exist for women of color.
27．What is the main idea of the text
A．A teacher provides chances for girls of color. B．A woman brings ballet to the girls of color.
C．Ballet changes the life of a woman of color. D．A woman has changed the negative stereotypes.
C
As can be seen on almost any basis, English is the nearest thing that has ever been to a global language. Its worldwide reach is much greater than anything achieved historically by Latin or French, and there has never been a language as widely spoken as English. Although English now appears to be in a powerful position in the modern world, its future as a global language is not necessarily assured. In the Middle Ages, Latin seemed forever to be set as the language of education and culture, as did French in the 18th century. But conditions change, and there are several factors which might make a difference to such a change once again.
There is a close link between language and power. The USA, with its huge advantage in economic, technical and cultural terms, is the driving force behind English in the world today. However, if the USA were to lose its position of economic and technical advantage, then the “language loyalties” of other countries may well shift to the new dominant(占优势的)power. Nowadays, perhaps the only possible candidate(候选人)for such a replacement would be China.
A change in population (and population growth) trends may prove to be an influential factor. A report by the British Council suggests that the number of people learning English is likely to continue to increase over the next 10-15 years, peaking at around 2 billion, after which a decline(下降)is predicted. Various tries have been made to develop a simpler “controlled” English language suitable for international usage(e.g. Basic English, Plain English, Special English, Essential World English, etc). Increasingly, the long-term future of English as a global language probably lies in the hands of Asia, and especially the huge populations of India and China.
28．What do the underlined words “such a change” in paragraph 1 refer to
A．English may lose its dominant position one day.
B．English may not be used in education and culture.
C．Latin may be set as the language of education and culture.
D．French may be spoken as widely as English in the future.
29．What can be learned from paragraph 2
A．The USA has a great number of Chinese learners.
B．Other countries will shift to learn French in the future.
C．Population growth influences the number of language learners.
D．The position of a language is affected by the power of its country.
30．Why have tries been made to develop a simpler "controlled” English
A．To prove English is changing. B．To show English is still popular.
C．To attract more people to use English. D．To lower the cost of learning English.
31．Where is the text probably taken from
A．A novel. B．A magazine. C．A diary. D．A tourist handbook.
D
“Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere,” I type into Deep Dream Generator’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned tom e showing what I’ve described.
Welcome to the world of AI image generation, where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts (提示). But closer examination shows oddities. The face of the woman in my image has very odd features, and appears to be holding multiple books. And, while there’s an initial thrill at seeing an image appear, there’s no creative satisfaction.
AI image generation could impact everything from film to graphic novels and more. Children’s illustrators were quick to raise concerns about the technology. They say AI-generated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be. Fundamentally, art is all about translating something that you feel internally into something that exists externally. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process.
Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generator s rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that are intentionally meant to imitate the style of other artists, without their agreement. There is an argument that Al generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work, However, a human artist is also adding emotion and nuance (细微差别) into the mix. AI doesn’t do the same — it can only copy.
The increasing use of AI will also lead to a devaluing of the work of artists. There’s already a negative prejudice towards the creative industry. People will begin to think that their “work” is as valid as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It’s nonsense, of course. You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughters, but you are no match for professionals.
32．What does the writer think of his image creation
A．Exciting. B．Appealing. C．Unsatisfying. D．Shocking.
33．What do children’s illustrators value most about art
A．The creating process. B．The final work.
C．Personal feelings. D．External forms.
34．What is Paragraph 4 of the text mainly about
A．The styles of human artworks and AI ones.
B．Human artists’ influence on AI generators.
C．Different means used in human and AI art creation.
D．The drawbacks of drawing from existing art and text.
35．Which of the following best summarizes the last paragraph
A．Art is the mirror of life. B．Rome is not built in a day.
C．No man can do two things at once. D．Jack of all trades, master of none.
E

67．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。
Last month, my good friend Ollie and I came home from school. When we passed by the community advertising board, we saw a poster about a recycled-sculpture contest for Trash (垃圾) to Treasure Day. “Look,” I said. “It says anyone can enter, and the first prize is a gift certificate (礼品券) to ask ate shop! Other winners can get gift certificates for ice cream!”
“Sounds fun,“ said Ollie. We both desired new skate boards and decided to team up and divide the prize if we won.
In that case, we needed to figure out what we were going to make before going there. Thinking twice, we chose to make a dragon because dragons are undeniably excellent and impressive. Ollie and I spent the rest of the day researching. On the contest day, I was prepared with the perfect dragon picture to use as our guide.
“Whoa!” Ollie said when we got there. “Look at all these people!” There were piles of recycled stuff, including cardboard, containers, used toys and so on. Each workstation had tape, scissors, glue (胶水),paint, and markers.
Ollie and I found a place, and began to make our dragon. As I reached for a big red zipper (拉链) which could be made into a pretty mouth, another hand picked it up.
“I was going to use that zipper for a dragon mouth!” I said.
"Really " asked the girl who'd picked it up. "It could be made into a perfect mouth for my monster. we had the same idea!"
I smiled, “You know what they say—great minds think alike.”
“They also say birds of a feather stick together!” she smiled back. “I’m Shoshanna, and I’m just working over there by myself. Want to work together and make a great dragon ”
We certainly didn't mind. In fact, Ollie and I had been so serious while working that we weren’t having any fun.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150 左右；

M: Hello everyone. Professor Williams asked us to talk about our volunteer projects during the summer holiday. Many of you shared your experiences in food banks, community centers and even hospitals. For me, I’d like to tell you about my experience in an animal center in California.
I had always loved animals. But this was my first time getting up close and personal with them. I got to work with dogs, cats and even rabbits. Each day I would walk the dog three times, which was my favorite part. Cleaning the cages for rabbits was a bit boring, though. While it was hard work, the sense of achievement was great.
One experience that stood out was when a dog called Max was brought in.
Max had once been hurt and was afraid of humans. I made it my personal goal to make him feel comfortable around people again. I spent hours sitting with him, offering him food and treats and especially talking to him softly. Gradually he began to trust me and allowed me to pet him. Overall, it was an incredibly rewarding experience.

Not only does it contribute to a better understanding of Internet but provides all the students with a new perspective of Internet security.

As soon as Shoshanna joined our team, everything became better. She was telling funny jokes when we made our dragon together. Even though she was being playful, she turned out to be a really talented artist. Under her guidance, the cupboard was used to make the dragon's body, and the scissors as its hands. Soon, all three of us were joking around and making bold choices. Together, we created a surprisingly fantastic dragon! We could hardly wait to hear the winners announced.
Finally we won gift certificates for ice cream. Although Ollie and I failed to buy new skateboard, we had a great time playing and enjoying the process! After the contest, we treated ourselves with delicious ice cream at the fanciest store in our town, bursting into laughter all the way. Best of all, we remained friends after that experience. As for our sculpture, the symbol of our friendship, it was placed in my bedroom. For us, it was the unexpected encounter that highlighted that day.
