Her words hit me that I had used my authority and anger as a tool to hurt her, just as we had discussed during our lesson. Feeling a mix of guilt and admiration for her insight, I took a deep breath and softened my tone. I apologized to Laura sincerely, acknowledging that I should have approached the situation differently, with understanding and empathy. She looked me in the eye and softly said, “Yes, I forgive you, Mrs. Ekre. I’m sorry, too.”For the rest of the day and the rest of the year, Laura never had another outburst. Our relationship deepened day by day. At the end of the year, she wrote me a beautiful letter about how she loved being in my class and that some of the most important lessons she learned. Attached to the note was a small key—a tool, she said, for a language arts teacher who taught her how important words can be. It serves as my reminder of a lesson I taught as a teacher but one I really learned from my student.听力原文Text 1M: Have you bought the drinks for the party yet?W: Yep —a case of red wine and two boxes of beer, also five bottles of orange juice for kids. Text 2W: When will you have time to go to America? I can lend you money if you need.M: I’ve already given up that thought. It’s just too hard to get a visa.Text 3W: Is Max gonna show up in the concert this weekend?M: No, he broke his leg for playing football with his son last month.W: Oh, too bad. I can’t see his amazing guitar skill this time.Text 4W: Wanna go camping with us this Saturday?M: Remember my last camping experience? Sleeping on a cold, wet floor, eating horrible food, and so many mosquitos. So, I think I’ll pass this time.Text 5M: Bright purple jacket? Sparkly blue skirt? Who would wear such ridiculous clothes?W: I can’t agree w ith you more. Guess people like us could never understand what is the so called “fashion”.Text 6W: Hi, Clint. What are you reading?M: Oh, it’s just a really interesting article about a man who made a fortune by selling shoes. He is a billionaire now.W: A billionaire?! I guess the shoes must be very expensive for the upper classes.M: Not at all. The shoes are just for average folks.W: How could that be possible?M: You know, to do something extraordinary, sometimes you just start from doing ordinary things with a little extra effort.Text 7M: Look at you, Miranda. You look so happy. Got a pay rise or something?W: Well, I’m on an online dating site actually. I’ve met a guy named Frank. Oh, he is the Mr. Right I’ve been waiting for so long!M: What’s s o special about that guy?W: Look for yourself. Don’t you think he looks like the young version of Johnny Depp? And he said he’s got a PhD, a salary of $300,000 a year and a huge house in the countryside. You know what?I’ve just known him for two days, but he already said he loves me! Isn’t he romantic?M: Just two days and he’s in love with you?Sounds to me he’s not someone you can trust.Text 8W: Hello, Derek. You look so busy. What are all those papers?M: Oh, Yvonne, I have to get a permit to build an extension to my house. It’s a very small bit of building work but I have to fill in all these forms.W: What’s this blue form for?M: Well, this one here is for my local council. I need to apply for planning permission, and then theywant lots of supporting documents to make sure it fits in with building regulations.W: It sounds exhausting.M: It is. I really hate all these rules and processes.W: Bureaucracy! They’ve always made things complicated, inefficient, and inconvenient.Text 9M: So, are you going to go out after work tonight, Niamh?W: You mean for Mason’s birthday? What’s the plan?M: Well, I think we’re just going to head to the Bear and Honeypot at 6:00 p.m.W: Going to the pub again?No, I think I’ll give it a miss this time.M: Why? Have you got other plans?W: No, it’s just...M: Is this about he didn’t give you the promotion he had promised before? Come on, you can’t always hate your boss, besides, he did give you a pay rise anyway...W: No, no —that’s not the case. I just don’t like going to the pub all the time. I don’t really drink actually, and I always feel a bit awkward.M: You can just have lemonade. No one will laugh at you.W: No, they won’t laugh at me, but they will ask me to drive them home. Besides, I promised my son I’d re ad him bedtime stories tonight. Please just tell Mason “Happy Birthday”, but I couldn’t make it tonight.Text 10M: Most of the people work at least 40 hours each week, but chances are we can only remain efficient and productive at work a certain portion of each day.There are three practical steps to incorporate into any morning routine to maintain productivity all day long.One: Morning exercise.Seven minutes is the best amount of time for morning exercise. It’s short enough which won’t make you feel exhausted for the rest of your morning, but long enough to shake off your laziness.Two: Start your day out green.Having healthy fruit and vegetable juice as your breakfast is cheap and easy, and requires less time in the morning than toasting a slice of bread and putting a lot of cream cheese on it, and is much healthier for you.Three: Pick three first-to-do things for the day.While you’re waiting for your bus or subway, decide on three things you need to do first for the next 12 hours, and when accomplished, tell yourself that today has been a success. Not every day will be an epic win, but doing this will help you arrange things more strategically and make you feel more confident.新高考写作的评分细则第一节（满分15分）(一)评分原则1.本题总分为15分，按5个档次给分。

As Executive Secretary of the Saiga Conservation Alliance, an international organization, Bykova works to save the antelope.

After all, just a few short years ago, he was living on the streets, couch-surfing at friends' houses and weeding gardens to make ends meet. Now, one of the world's leading political academics was preparing to welcome him to Queen's University over 4,000 miles away.Emanuel never knew who his father was and his mom was mentally ill when she gave birth to him, so the hospital took him off her and he was unofficially adopted for the first few years of his life. What followed was a childhood with uncertainty as Emanuel was passed between the adoption system and family members.Through his high school and community college years, he movedfrom house to house, living with friends at times and living on the streets at others.Determined to change all that despite his rocky start in life, Emanuel involved himself in school—doing everything he could to earn extra tuition(学费) money in his spare time. But getting accepted into university was scarcely possible because a person like him couldn't get a regular student loan.Fortunately, the government backed him, having created a policy allowing disadvantaged persons to access funding for higher education. He graduated from the University of the West Indies with a 1st Class Honors degree and went on to do his Masters. Emanuel knows that his story could have been very different."I discovered Professor Richard English online and sent him an email honestly, not thinking he would reply and to my surprise, he did. I applied for the highly competitive Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme in order to fund my research at Queen's. When I was told I was successful, my whole world changed."4、What does the underlined word "pinch-me" in Paragraph 1 probably meanA.Imaginary.B. Anticipated.C. Unbelievable.D.Embarrassing.5、What happened to Emanuel in his childhoodA.His father passed away early.B. He received great parental care.C. He was once adopted by his relátives.D. He lived with his friends now and then.6、Which of the following can best describe EmanuelA.Tough and strong-willed.B. Determined and talented.C.Enthusiastic and generous.D. Hardworking and attractive.7、What is the main idea the author wants to convey to usA. Well begun is half done.B. Never judge by appearances.C.Many hands make light work.D. You are the architect of your own life.The next time San Francisco residents stop a taxi, they may step into a car with no one behind the wheel. Driverless taxis are now allowed to come on the city's streets. On June 2, 2022, Cruise, a division of General Motors (GM), was approved to charge for rides in its self-driving cars, becoming the first company allowed to operate commercial driverless cars in a major US city.Though Cruise is regarding it as a big win, its self-driving cars aren't totally free to run on the streets of San Francisco as they please. Cruise vehicles will be limited to transporting passengers in less crowded areas of the city between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. The speed limit is 30 mph. They are also not allowed to operate in heavy rain or fog. The rules are meant to reduce any injuries oraccidents.Cruise plans to launch the service gradually with a team of just 30 cars. The first robotaxis will be improved versions of GM's Chevrolet Bolt. However, the company is seeking approval to get its custom-built Cruise Origin on public roads. The driverless electric vehicle has no wheels or pedals(踏板) and can attain highway speeds. The car consists mostly of a sitting space, where passengers can face each other.Cruise's ability to obtain the commercial permit to operate is a big step forward. However, the company still has to convince passengers that its technology is safe. Many remain concerned about safety. A 2021 survey by the American Automobile Association found that 74 percent of Americans are afraid to ride in a self-driving vehicle.It remains to be seen how the new driverless taxi experiment will play out in San Francisco. But based on the vast number of companies that are racing to develop self-driving vehicles and the tens of thousands of people on waitlists for robotaxi rides, the Cruise pioneering program is at least set for popularity, if not success.8、What can we learn about the Cruise's driverless ride servicesA. The services have turned out to be a great success.B. The services receive great support from the public.C. The services have run in some major cities of the USA.D. The services are limited to some regions of San Francisco.9、What does the author describe in detail in paragraph 3A. The feature of Cruise Origin.B. The future of self-driving cars.C.The original plan of the company.D. The new version of Chevrolet Bolt.10、What is the attitude of most Americans towards the self-driving taxisA. Doubtful.B.

Send it to the host organizer in Q&A phase.BCafeterias have been filled with challenges—right from planning, purchasing, and preparing, to reducing waste, staying on budget, managing goods, and training staff. Through the tedious process, restaurateurs lacked a unified platform for efficient management. To bring consistency to the unorganised catering（餐饮）industry, childhood friends Arjun Subramanian and Raj Jain, who shared a passion for innovation, decided to partner in 2019 to explore opportunities in the cafeteria industry.In May 2020, they co-founded Platos, a one-stop solution for restaurants with a custom technology kit to streamline all aspects of cafeteria management. The company offers end-to-end cafeteria management, staff selection and food trials to ensure smooth operations and consistent service. "We believe startups solve real problems and Platos is our shot at making daily workplace food enjoyable again. We aim to simplify the dining experience, providing a convenient and efficient solution that benefits both restaurateurs and customers and creating a connected ecosystem, "says Subramanian, CEO and co-founder.Platos guarantees that a technology-driven cafeteria allows customers to order, pay, pick up, and provide ratings and feedback. It also offers goods and menu management to effectively perform daily operations. Additionally, its applications connect all shareholders for a smart cafeteria experience. "We help businesses that are into catering on condition that they have access to an industrial kitchen setup where they' re making food according to certain standards," Jain states.Since the beginning, Platos claims to have transformed 45 cafeterias across eight cities in the country. Currently, it has over 45,000 monthly users placing more than 200,000 orders. Despite facing challenges in launching cafeterias across major cities in the initial stages, Platos has experienced a 15% increase in its month-over-month profits.As for future plans, the startup is looking to raise $1 million from investors as strategic partners, bringing in capital, expertise, and networks. "Finding the right lead investor is the compass that points your startup toward success," Subramanian says.4. What does the underlined word "tedious" in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Time-consuming.B.

To innovate technology.CWith a brain the size of a pinhead, insects possess a great sense of direction. They manage to locate themselves and move through small openings. How do they do this with their limited brain power? Understanding the inner workings of an insect's brain can help us in our search towards energy-efficient computing, physicist Elisabetta Chicca of the University of Groningen shows with her most recent result: a robot that acts like an insect.It's not easy to make use of the images that come in through your eyes when deciding what your feet or wings should do. A key aspect here is the apparent motion of things as you move. "Like when you're on a train,” Chicca explains. "The trees nearby appear to move faster than the houses far away." Insects use this information to infer how far away things are. This works well when moving in a straight line, but reality is not that simple. To keep things manageable for their limited brain power, they adjust their behaviour: they fly in a straight line, make a turn, then make another straight line.In search of the neural mechanism（神经机制）that drives insect behaviour, PhD student Thorben Schoepe developed a model of its neuronal activity and a small robot that uses this model to find the position. His model is based on one main principle: always head towards the area with the least apparent motion. He had his robot drive through a long passage consisting of two walls and the robot centred in the middle of the passage, as insects tend to do. In other virtual environments, such as a space with small openings, his model also showed similar behaviour to insects.The fact that a robot can find its position in a realistic environment is not new. Rather, the model gives insight into how insects do the job, and how they manage to do things so efficiently. In a similar way, you could make computers more efficient.In the future, Chicca hopes to apply this specific insect behaviour to a chip as well. "Instead of using a general-purpose computer with all its possibilities, you can build specific hardware; a tiny chip that does the job, keeping things much smaller and energy-efficient." She comments.8. Why is "a train" mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. To illustrate the principle of train motion.B. To highlight why human vision is limited.C. To explain how insects perceive distances.D. To compare the movement of trees and houses.9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning Schoepe's model?A. Its novel design.B. Its theoretical basis.C. Its possible application.D. Its working mechanism.10. What do the researchers think of the finding?A. Amusing.B. Discouraging.C. Promising.D. Contradictory.11. What will Chicca's follow-up study focus on?A. Inventing insect-like chips.B. Studying general-purpose robots.C. Creating insect-inspired computers.D. Developing energy-efficient hardware.DWith the help from an artificial language（AL）model, MIT neuroscientists have discovered what kind of sentences are most likely to fire up the brain's key language processing centers. The new study reveals that sentences that are more complex, because of either unusual grammar or unexpected meaning, generate stronger responses in these language processing centers. Sentences that are very straightforward barely engage these regions, and meaningless orders of words don't do much for them either.In this study, the researchers focused on language-processing regions found in the left hemisphere（半球）of the brain. By collecting a set of 1,000 sentences from various sources, the researchers measured the brain activity of participants using functional magnetic resonance imaging（fMRI）while they read the sentences. The same sentences were also fed into a large language model, similar to ChatGPT, to measure the model's activation patterns. Once the researchers had all of those data, they trained the model to predict how the human language network would respond to any new sentence based on how the artificial language network responded to these 1,000 sentences.The researchers then used the model to determine 500 new sentences that would drive highest brain activity and sentences that would make the brain less active, and their findings were confirmed in subsequent human participants. To understand why certain sentences generate stronger brain responses, the model examined the sentences based on 11 different language characteristics. The analysis revealed that sentences that were more surprising resulted in greater brain activity. Another linguistic（语言的）aspect that correlated with the brain's language network responses was the complexity of the sentences, which was determined by how well they followed English grammar rules and bow logically they linked with each other.The researchers now plan to see if they can extend these findings in speakers of languages other than English. They also hope to explore what type of stimuli may activate language processing regions in the brain's right hemisphere.12. What sentences make our brain work harder?A. Lengthy.B. Logical.C. Straightforward.D. Complicated.13. What is the function of the AL model in the research?A. To examine language network.B. To reduce language complexity.C. To locate language processing area.D. To identify language characteristics.14. How did the researchers carry out their study?A. By conducting interviews.B. By collecting questionnaires.C. By analyzing experiment data.D. By reviewing previous studies.15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. AL Model Stimulates Brain ActivitiesB. AL Model Speeds Up Language LearningC. AL Model Reveals the Secrets of Brain ActivationD. AL Model Enhances Brain Processing Capacity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。
