They are all popular among the young.C. They all have strong ethnic features.D. They are all about excellent art works.The winter migration(迁徙) season has arrived. With the cold wave heading down south, migratory birds from faraway places such as Siberia have begun to arrive at Dongting Lake, central China for the winter.Dongting Lake in central China's Hunan Province is the country's second-largest freshwater lake. When the temperature rises after a short cold time, locals call the 10th lunar month "Indian summer." During this time, the lake's water level drops and sedges(莎草) grow, allowing wintering birds to plentiful food.Song Yucheng, deputy chief engineer of East Dongting Lake National Nature Reserve, isarrive at the heart of East Dongting Lake National Nature Reserve. They line up and use sideways sweeps of their beaks to filter(过滤) out tiny fish and shrimp. When they fly to another spot looking for food, people can only see the vast expanse of a white sky."Now the weather is also very good, the sky is very clear, with green grass, clear water and white spoonbills wandering for hunting. It's a beautiful picture of nature," said Song.For the villagers living in the East Dongting Lake National Nature Reserve, their farm fields are still full of busy and active fellows after harvest because there are about 100 swans settled down there. To provide these birds with an quiet and safe environment, the local government has stopped the vehicles and visitors from entering the area."Firecrackers are not allowed, and loud noises are also not allowed in the surrounding area," said Long Yong, a villager from the Hehua Village, citing the local government.4、The birds migrate to Dongting Lake not because _____.A.

Weather is always good here.B. More birds are coming here.C.The environment is beautiful here.D. It's good to draw pictures here.7、The last two paragraphs tell about ____.A. government measuresB. fields harvestC.village lifeD. how to observe birds in natureMost plants you see out in nature are leafy and green, at least for some part of their lives. That's because they use green pigments , which are called chlorophyll（叶绿素）, to harvest energy from sunlight. But the plant Hydnora Africana, doesn't have leaves or chlorophyll at all.So, how can it survive? Well, it's a parasite(寄生), and H Africana attaches itself to other plants' roots, and begins getting sugars, minerals, and water from its host.At the same time, the parasite grows a root system, living completely underground, until it's ready to reproduce. At which point, it grows one of the strangest looking flowers in the world. When the flower's mature, it breaks the soil from beneath and reaches out in order to be pollinated（授粉）.But just as this plant doesn't look like the normal flower, it doesn't smell like one either. It gives out a smell like a rotting(腐烂) animal . The smell attracts insects and flies looking for a delicious meal. But when they get inside the flower and find no tasty treat, they can't get back out again.There's a sort of room inside the flower, and the top of the room closes behind the insects. The walls of the flower are also slippery, making escape even more difficult.Over the course of about a day, the flower's male organs mature, and the insects get coated in pollen. And at the end of this transformation, the inside of the plant gets less slippery, and the chamber opens, allowing the insects and flies to escape.At that point, attracted by a new rotting smell, they might just find another H Africana flower and pollinate it as they fall inside.8、Why is chlorophyll so important to plants?A. Chlorophyll gives plants green color.B. Chlorophyll helps leaves to grow.C. Chlorophyll can harvest energy from sunlight.D. Plants cannot survive without Chlorophyll .9、About H Africana, which description is right?A. It’s a parasite without roots.B. It gets food through other plants' root.C. It never grows out of the ground.D. Its flowers smell sweet.10、The insects attracted to pollinate will _____.A. find tasty treat inside the flower.B. never get out of the flower again.C. get little chance to pollinate successfully.D. escape after being trapped about a day.11、The passage mainly interprets______.A. What is a parasite.B. How a parasite to survive.C. How H Africana reproduce.D. Why bad smell is so useful.There are few things in the food world that bring about stronger opinions than spices likethat burn you know and love.Eating spicy food six or seven days a week — even just once a day — lowered death rates by 14 percent, according to a large 2015 study by Harvard and China National Center for Disease Control and Prevention."It seems to speed up the body's fat-burning mechanisms," says Patricia Bridget Lane, a registered dietitian/nutritionist. "That can help with weight loss and weight management."A 2012 review article published in the journal Chemical Senses mentioned that those who eat spicy foods like cayenne pepper noticed a reduction in their desire for fatty, sweet, and salty foods.If you're putting too much hot sauce in your food — or you're eating entirely too many meals that are extremely-high in spice levels — you could be damaging your body as well.According to one scientific study in the National Library of Medicine, capsaicin consumed in plenty can cause discomfort to the inner tissue of your stomach after you eat it. The resulting symptoms of too much capsaicin include "nausea", "vomiting", "abdominal pain", and "burning diarrhea".Rebecca Tung, MD, a Florida-based dermatologist said, "When spicy food creates inflammation ( 炎症) in the gut—from an upset stomach, acid reflux, or other symptoms—sometimes this inflammation can also be seen on the skin with flushing, acne breakout, or even eczema.""Spicy foods can also kill sleep efforts because they cause heartburn. Lying down makes heartburn worse, and the discomfort from heartburn hinders sleep," said the health experts at WebMD.12、The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refers to _____.A. foodB. opinionsC. chemicalD. pepper13、Which information about the text is true?A. Eating spicy food will increase death rate.B. Spicy food may be helpful in losing weight.C. Spicy food makes people want more fatty food.D. The more spicy food, the better.14、The last three paragraphs show the _____ of too much spicy food.A. benefitsB. harmC. advantagesD. property15、Which is the best title for the passage?A. Spicy food, good or bad?B. The spicy food of great popularity.C. Cook spicy food, so easy!D. Capsaicin and science.二、七选五16、 Luck may not seem like something we can control. ①_____ So with that in mind, here are some things lucky people do differently.They maintain a positive mindset. Lucky people generally expect good things to happen because they know that if you believe in yourself and work hard enough, good things will come. ②_____ When something doesn’t go the way they want it to, they look at it as an opportunity to learn and grow instead of getting upset or discouraged. ③_____ So when they fail at something, they take it as a reason to improve and then they keep trying.They use creative methods to solve problems.

For example, they don’t get stuck in old ways or worry about things they can’t control. Instead, they welcome change and are adaptable in their thinking, always ready to try something different.

It allows machines to learn from experience, make decisions and solve problems like humans. Today you can find a lot of AI examples in our everyday life. You use AI facial recognition to unlock your phone. Self-driving cars use it to drive. Shopping apps use it to provide you with information according to your interest. Perhaps the best example is the smart assistant on your phone, which can support you when you make voice calls, add events to the calendar, and send messages. All in all, AI is everywhere.In recent years, China has a rapid development in AI. To prepare students well for the future, Zhejiang Province plans to make students in primary and middle schools learn AI.Last year,Zhejiang Province started “AI + education” pilot project in schools. Wenzhou is one of the cities that have carried out the project. The city plans to have nearly 760 schools for AIeducation by the end of this year, hoping to bring AI to every classroom.It’s easy to open the AI course among primary and middle schools, because information technology is already a subject tested in Gaokao in Zhejiang. The new AI course is expected to build a strong AI talent pool for universities and colleges in the future. However, AI-based education is still faced with a lot of challenges. One of the biggest challenges is that there are not enough top teachers.( ) 36. What can AI help machines do?A. Find a lot of examplesB. Copy and act like humans.C. Do everything for humans.D.

Firstly, what confuses me most is the proper use of tenses. I often mix up tenses, leading to low scores on my writings, What’s more, I s truggle to find appropriate wordsto express myself accurately. Despite my massive efforts to expand my vocabulary, words still fail me when I need to write. In addition, I find it difficult to make my writing well-structured and coherent, which frustrates me a lot.I’d appreciate it if you could give me some practical suggestions on my problems. Looking forward to your reply.Yours,Li Hua第二节(满分25分)Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. In a panic I quickly glued together whatever materials I could find, my hands shaking with the weight of each hasty decision. The finished result looked miserable. However, several of my classmates, including Nate, had created amazingly detailed buildings. They used materials like clay, wood and so on and their constructions were highly praised by Mr. Smith. When I saw their models, I felt even more embarrassed about mine. It was apparent that they had put a lot more time into the assignment than I had.That taught me a great lesson. I learned from that day the importance of deciding on my priorities and budgeting my time. From then on, I tackled things a lot earlier instead of putting things off until tomorrow. As a result, not only did I finish my tasks ontime, but I also felt better because I didn’t have to panic at the last minute. At the end of the semester, my work was chosen by Mr. Smith on another occasion. Seeing my change, my parents and my sister were so proud of me. It dawned on me that getting things done on time instead of being a procrastinator really counted.听力录音稿Text 1M: Do you have any idea what’s wrong with my houseplant It gets plenty of sun and enough plant food...W: Are you watering it too often Remember this plant comes from the desert where there’s hardly any rain.M: Ah..Maybe that’s the problem!Text 2M: It seems to be human nature to pursue what we don’t have. Tall people want to be shorter, and short people want to be taller... W: I know. For example, when I was younger, my cousin always wanted my golden hair, and I wanted dark hair like hers.Text 3W: Hi, are there any tickets left for tonight’s concertM: Sorry, they’re sold out. But I can put you on the waiting list, in case there are any cancellations tonight. Would you like me to do thatW: Oh, yes, please. Let me give you my phone number.Text 4M: Oh, this is so annoying! We’ve been driving around for ages, and I haven’t seen a single space.W: There’s a street party going on in town today. That’s probably why it’s busy. Let’s try the supermarket... You can park there for free as long as you buy something.Text 5W: So, tell me a little bit about the character you played in your new film Last Weekend.M: Well, Jake is a sort of the ‘everyman’ character. He doesn’t have any special talents. In fact, he lives a pretty boring life, until his old friend Maggie returns to town...Text 6M: Can I borrow your phone for a second Mine is dead, and I can’t find my charger.W: Sure.M: Thanks. Hey, what’s wrong with your screen It’s all dark and the colors look strange.W: Oh! I’ve been using an app called “Sunset” to help me sleep at night.M: Really HowW: Well, studies show that too much blue light from screens can make sleeping difficult. So, in the evenings, the app puts a red filter (滤光器) over the screen to cancel it out.M: Oh, interesting. Does it helpW: Yeah, I think so! I also listen to white noise, which helps me fall asleep too.Text 7M: Can we do something about the temperature in here I have so many emails to deal with today, but my hands are so cold that I can hardly type my report!W: I know. I’ve been struggling too. But the heat probably won’t be turned on until the end of the month.M: Why notW: It’s a part of the company’s plans to save energy.M: Well, I can understand that. But how are we supposed to work in these conditionsW: I guess we always have the choice to work from home.M: True. But before my youngest daughter starts school, it’s just too difficult for me to do that. I wouldn’t be able to focus.W: Then I think we should talk to the boss about what can be done, otherwise people will start getting ill.Text 8W: Well, here we are! I can’t wait to get inside and see what’s on offer!M: I heard this year’s Mini Fair is going to be even bigger and better than last year’s. It won’t disappoint us.W: Oh really I had to go to a boring work event at that time, so I couldn’t come last year.M: Yes! I got so many things for my model train set.W: Like whatM: Well, the coolest things I got were some tiny little trees. They looked so real.W: Wow!M: I’m hoping t he guy who sells them is here again this year.W: I hope so! Now that I’m satisfied with the inside part of my dolls’ house, I want to focus on creating the garden. So, it would be great to get some little plants and trees. What about youM: I want some little model cars and people to add to my train station scene. But I need to find a toilet first.W: Over there, by the restaurant hall.M: Great. Meet you in five minutes, by the ticket desk.Text 9W: Hi, are you here for the tourM: Yes, I’m Michael Green. Are you the head girlW: That’s right. I’m Jayne Palmer. You look a bit older than the kids I usually show around the school!M: Ha-ha! Yeah, I’ll be sixteen next month.W: My birthday is in October, too!M: ReallyW: Yeah! So, why are you changing schoolsM: Well, my mom got a new job in this area, so we’re moving here. I’ve heard good things about this place.W: Well, as you can see, we have some great facilities... Here are the basketball courts. Then just behind them, you’ll see the football field and the running track. And that building over there is our swimming pool.M: Wow! There wasn’t room for anything like this at my previous school. I was on the swimming team, but we had to travel to use the city pool for our practices.W: Well, we’ve certainly got plenty of space. The arts teaching here is also excellent. We have a music studio and our own theater. M: Amazing!W: So, where would you like to go firstM: Well, I’m quite interested to see the science facilities. I’m hoping for a career in medicine.W: Okay, great! Well, the laboratories have all been updatedrecently, so we’ve got some really good equipment. Follow me. Text 10On my recent business trip to Shanghai, I met up with a local friend who took me out for a very interesting evening meal. At the Community AI Canteen, everything is done by robots. When you walk in there, you place your order on a screen. Using robotic arms, the intelligent cooking system then cooks your food before packing it up... It even adjusts the temperature, depending on whether you want to eat it straight away or take it home with you! To pay, you place your food on a smart cash desk, which immediately calculates (计算) the cost. There’s even a 24-hour noodle machine just outside, which offers hot and fresh food around the clock. The canteen offers a huge amount of choices and the dishes taste great. It is really fun to get “a taste of the future”. However, I’m not sure I would like all restaurants to be run by robots. I can see the benefits for busy families or office workers needing a quick lunch, but what about lonely older people who would miss the human touch I do think we will see more places like this in the future, though. At best, a human waiter can serve around 100 people in a day. The AI system can serve double that figure, making it good for business.荆州中学2024-2025学年高二上学期9月月考英语试题命题人：审题人：（全卷满分150分考试时间120分钟）第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分)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。

It recognized the preservation and protection of the 417 park service units. Now that those festivities have wrapped up, it’s time to look toward what the next 100 years might look like for the nation’s parks. Here’s a look at some of the major issues facing the nation s parks now and over the next century.____17____. For example, at Shenandoah National Park, park officials note that rising temperatures in streams have already impacted native fish. They are also concerned that climate change will lead to more droughts, floods and wildfires. At Golden Gate National Recreation Area in California, park officials are predicting heat waves, coastal flooding and habitat destruction in response to climate change.Visitors behave badly. Today, visitors still aim to make their mark on the natural and cultural resources.____18____. But the NPS now has its own branch of law enforcement (执法) officials who are tasked with protecting those resources for and often from park visitors.There is maintenance backlog (积压).____19____. But the donations may drop sharply and raise the possibility of handing the parks over to private corporations. With budget shortfalls and maintenance at all-time highs, it’s likely that these sorts of partnerships will only become more likely in the future.Despite some major concerns, the future of the NPS looks promising. With a renewed level of interest, and the help of some corporate donations, the parks will be protected for the next century.____20____.A．Climate change will affect all parksB．Yellowstone National Park deserves a visitC．The NPS took a look back at the last centuryD．The maintenance burden will be removed soonE．And they may look different in the next 100 yearsF．Those are protected by the National Park Service as they did years agoG．At the moment, donations from private corporations are limited to signs and certain exhibits山东省济宁市邹城市2021-2022学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题（解析版）五、七选五Have you ever heard the phrase “inch wide, mile deep” with respect to picking an area of focus for youreducation, work, website, business, etc? ___36___ And you should concentrate on becoming highly skilled in one particular field.Then you’ll be able to have a space in your industry and hopefully make a good living.You can do that.It does work to a certain extent.___37___You don’t have to use the “inch wide, mile deep” approach if it bothers you to do so.___38___ And it’s rightly so.There are some big consequences(后果) to consider.I don’t use this approach for my work because I don’t like the consequences of sticking to one niche (合适的位置) for so long.___39___ I’d also feel bored even if I picked something I love.I like variety too much.This life is precious to me.While I love doing deep dives, I don’t want to be focused on any one aspect of life or business for so long that I miss out on exploring the other aspects that also interest me.You could say that my niche is personal growth.But that isn’t really a niche at all because anything fits into that huge space：productivity, relationship, work, health, lifestyle, values, social skills, and more.___40___I prefer the “mile wide, mile deep” approach.It works well, too.There are some consequences to accept, but you may actually like those consequences.A．Insist on the same narrow topic.B．Many people have mixed feelings about it.C．The idea here is that you should narrow your focus.D．I’d be bored within a few years no matter what I picked.E．But this article is about why you may not want to do that.F．It’s important to focus on the long-term relationship with others.G．Name any topic you can think of and I can link it to personal growth.山东师范大学附属中学2021-2022学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题（解析版）五、七选五Nowadays being culturally aware is becoming an important skill to have. Here are 5 reasons why we should learn about other cultures.·Other cultures are interesting.It's interesting to learn about those who are different from you. There's nothing wrong with doing something just because it's interesting. Learning a little extra knowledge never hurts anyone. ___36___ ·You can stimulate your mind.Learning about other cultures is an interesting way to challenge your thinking processes and expand the way you process information. ___37___ Make a point of learning more about other cultures and you will find your tendency to keep learning can help you grow mentally.·Learning about other cultures fosters（促进）understanding.___38___ But when you learn about another culture and see why others do the things they do, it's easier to understand them. You can also develop sympathy for others.·You realize there's more than one way to do something.When you learn about other cultures, you learn that there's more than one approach to life. ___39___ Learning about other cultures allows you to move outside your own bubble, and find new ways of approaching problems.___40___With technology making the world smaller, and with the ease of travel between countries, the chances are that you will meet someone with a different cultural background at some point. Take the trouble to learn about other cultures and customs, and you`ll have a richer experience no matter where you go.A．In other words, it forces you to think in new ways.B．Find out the similarities between different cultures.C．Traveling around the world is a dream for many people.D．You'll be better prepared for an increasingly globalized world.E．You also learn that your approach might not always be the best way.F．Many of the problems we have in this world are due to misunderstandings.G．It is probably more useful and attractive than watching mindless TV shows.山东省滕州第一中学2021-2022学年高二上学期期中考试英语试卷（解析版）二、七选五With a computer or smart phone today, we can make more and more friends, and even befriend people we’ve never met face-to-face. ____16____ Aside from modern facilities, how to make friends has been a question of vital interest to people through the ages. But how to make and be a good friend?____17____Everyone wants to have friends who are loyal and true, but not everyone knows how to have or be such a friend. People who make friends easily are those who express an interest in others and in what they are doing. By asking questions and showing interest in others, you make them feel welcomed and appreciated, helping them feel their efforts are worthwhile. Friendly people will not pass up the opportunity to let others know when they do something well.A friend is encouraging.The impact of well-timed encouragement can be tremendous. I can remember talking to a less popular classmate at school after he had a run - in with the class bully. “Don’t worry about him,” I said. “He’s just jealous of your grades in class.” ____18____What a response I got! We began doing almost everything together. ____19____ The incident taught me how important it is to show concern, and to this day we are still firm “best friends”!Be trustworthy.____20____ They are those who can trust and rely on. Do others see you as trustworthy? The way you live your life, the standards you abide by, will create an impression on others. Never compromise your integrity, standards or beliefs because you think someone will not approve of you. If the person is a worthwhile friend, he or she will appreciate your honesty and uprightness.A．To make friends, be friendly!B．A friend in need is a friend indeed.C．Later on, this fellow introduced me as his “best friend.”D．What kind of people do you want to have around you?E．In fact one might have more “digital friends” than he does in real life!F．Friendship is one of the most important relationships we can have in life.G．A couple more times I offered encouragement when I saw him looking lonely.山东省威海市文登新一中2021-2022学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题（解析版）五、七选五As we enter year 2 of the COVID-19 pandemic，many scientists continue to work remotely and all meetings are virtual.

In 2023, “Britain’s Got Talent” (BGT) uncovered a musical genius named Malaka i Bayoh who impressed the audience with perfect high-note singing.The London-based 13-year-old boy appeared for the show’s audition ( 海选) in April, 2023 and was accompanied by his mom and sister. “My big dream is to be an opera singer. I started singing at 7,” said Malakai to the BGT team. He then added jokingly, “My mom made me join the choir because she’s very bossy.” The teenager mentioned she was his biggest fan.Malakai’s mom was worried as he was about to perform and said, “It scares me because, on his first show, somebody heckled (对……起哄) him. It was sad to see someone boo a child on stage because it might destroy his confidence completely.” Contrary to his mom’s fear, Malakai set the stage on fire singing a beautiful song and the entire crowd was impressed by his amazing voice. As he ended hissong, the audience and the judges gave him a big round of applause. The performance won him Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer, sending him straight to the semi-finals of the show.The other judges called Malakai’s performance “perfect” and “heavenly” . His angelic voice blew the audience away and the judges thanked the teen for coming to the show. Malakai went on to become one of the finalists of the show and signed a record deal with Universal Music.Malakai’s audition at the BGT went viral on social media, “I’m a trained singer, and a music teacher by profession, and sang this song as a young performer myself. I can say with absolute certainty this is the best I’ve ever heard this song sung, with proper technique a nd proper breathing. This boy is a gifted singer,”@mayacorinne878 posted.24.

This messenger slows down the brain by blocking specific signals in the body’s central nervous system. It also produces a calming effect and is thought to play amajor role in controlling the overactivity of nerve cells associated with anxiety, stress and fear. All these contribute to the learning of new things.In the study, the researchers from Brown University usedneuro-imaging techniques to examine visual perceptive ( 视觉感知的) learning in elementary school-aged children and adults. Participants were shown a number of different images and were later asked questions about them following the test.Visual learning caused an increase of GABA in children’s visual cortex( 皮层), the area of the brain that processes visual information. However, GABA levels didn’t change in th e adults who took the same visual tests. In addition, children participants kept that GABA increase for hours after training ended, while the concentrations of GABA remained the same in the adults studied. “In subsequent behavioral experiments, we found th at children indeed learn more items within a given period of time than adults.” said Sebastian M. Frank, the co-author of the study. “Our results therefore point to GABA as a key player in making learning more efficient in children.”These results, the authors argue, should encourage teachers and parents to keep giving children opportunities to learn anything from riding a bike to playing an instrument throughout theirchildhood.The findings may also change neuro-scientists ’ conception of brain maturity i n children. “Although children’s brains are not yet fully mature and many of their behavioral and cognitive functions are not as efficient as in adults, children are not, in general, surpassed in their learning abilities by adults,” said study co-author Takeo Watanabe.28. What’s the function of GABAA. Send specific messages to the brain.B. Deal with complex math problems.C. Make the nervous system more active.D. Increase efficiency in learning new things.29. What do we know about the children taking the visual test A. Their GABA concentrations kept increasing after training. B. Their learning abilities still needed to be improved.C. They could remember more images than adults.D. They were surpassed by adults in learning abilities.30. How did the researchers do the researchA. By comparing participants ’ reaction.B. By analyzing statistics.C. By collecting relative evidence.D. By conducting online survey.31. What does Takeo Watanabe want to say in the last paragraphA. Neuro-scientists don’t fully understand brain maturity in children.B. Children are not mature in their behavior and cognition.C. It takes a long time for children’s brains to be fully mature.D. Children’s brain maturity does not affect their learning abilities. DArtificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, Open AI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while faithfully following your content instructions.Sora is said to be superior to many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios ( 屏幕高宽比) for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests.Aside from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is astonishing. Sora can create detailed scenes with several characters, specific types of motion, and accurate subject and background details. Beyond the user’s requests, it also understands how these elements exist in the real world. For example, reflections in the water change as a woman walks by. Sora’s amazing performance wouldn’t be possibl e without itshelpful assistant, ChatGPT, which transforms simple sentences into detailed descriptions, improving the accuracy of output. However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order. One possible reason is that Sora learns each basic unit of a video, known as a spacetime patch (时空补丁), independently.Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system, aiming to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will assist OpenAI in enhancing the model to better serve creative professionals.32. What is the main focus of paragraph 2 and 3A. Sora’s development.B. Sora’s diversity.C. Sora’s capabilities.D. Sora’s popularity.33. Why does the author provide the example in paragraph 5A. To highlight Sora’s potential safety risks.B. To illustrate Sora’s existing limitations.C. To showcase Sora’s perfect performance.D. To explain the concept of a spacetime patch.34. What can we know about Sora up to nowA. It has been made available to various industries.B. Its commercial release has been called off.C. It has exposed alarming security issues.D. It is undergoing testing and improvement.35. What’s the best title for the textA. Sora: Lead the way in creating videos.B. Sora: Surpass existing ChatGPT.C. Sora:Generate a rich variety of videos.D. Sora:A perfecttext-to-video AI model.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分12.5 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
