Mnica Bertagnlli is an nclgist (腫瘤學(xué)家) at Brigham and Wmen’s Hspital and a prfessr f surgery at Harvard Medical Schl. Grwing up in Wyming, she was well aware f the lack f health care resurces in rural areas. Access t in-depth care fr cancer patients is hard t get. She’s wrked thrughut her career t change that.
In Wyming, there’s a great distance t travel between where peple live and where they can find a cancer specialist. “If yu need treatments and they have t be administered every day, and if it’s 120 miles frm where yu live, that ends up being a huge barrier t receiving the kind f care yu need.”
And nw Mnica serves as the vice president f the Calitin (聯(lián)盟) f Cancer Cperative Grups (CCCG) — an internatinal netwrk f individuals wh wrk t imprve the quality f life and survival f cancer patients by increasing participatin in cancer clinical trials.
She said, “One f the really imprtant things is, we’re trying t make sure that cancer clinical trials can get t every single patient wh needs them in my wn state.” The calitin set up sites in nrthern and suthern Wyming that are able t run clinical trials. Befre thse trials became available, patients wuld usually g t Denver r Salt Lake City — a three-t-seven-hur drive.
Mnica’s effrts t increase access t the health care needs f her rural Wyming patients als include helping t develp new plicies that will allw patients t participate in mre clinical trials, and linking them with a reginal dctr wh can get them the access t the care they need.
In additin t the clinical trials, Mnica said that technlgy’s prgress like better cell phne and internet service in the muntains f Wyming, as well as scial media, has helped rural residents stay in tuch with lved nes and medical prfessinals despite their distance. She is trying t advcate strngly fr thse changes t cntinue.
“I still cnsider myself part f Wyming and I am very devted t making sure that patients can get access t care.”
24. What d rural cancer patients in Wyming need mst?
A. Better husing. B. Medical treatment. C. Further educatin. D. Public transprtatin.
25. Hw has Mnica helped the cancer patients?

Smewhere in the sky, lightning is frming. Althugh the pssibility f getting struck in yur lifetime is rughly 1 in 12,000, a human des prvide an attractive target fr lightning blts(閃電). Here’s what yu shuld expect if yu ever find yurself in the path f lightning.
A lt can happen in the three millisecnds it takes fr a lightning blt t curse thrugh yur bdy. Lightning strikes may leave yu with deep wunds, ften accmpanied with third degree burns. Yur clthes might even be trn by the explsive frce f the surrunding air being superheated t up t 27,700 ℃. Bld vessels(血管) explding frm the electric shck and heat ften create smething called a Lichtenberg figure n yur skin. This is a pattern f scars(傷疤) that branches ut acrss yur bdy like a tree.
But it desn’t end there. Yu might als be faced with a lifetime f neurlgical(神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的) cnditins fr reasns that scientists still dn’t fully understand. It’s als pssible that yu will suffer frm pain.
In sme cases, hwever, a lightning strike can lead t strange super talents. In a blg pst, University f Miami neurscientist Berit Brgaard writes abut an incident where a surgen wh was struck by lightning develped an urge t learn t play the pian. He began t cmpse music he had started hearing in his head since the strike. This type f phenmenn cnfuses scientists.
One thery that Brgaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning culd cause a ne-time flding f the brain with neurtransmitters(神經(jīng)遞質(zhì)) that are released frm the dying neurns(神經(jīng)元). This causes a rewiring f neurns, prviding access t areas f the brain that were previusly inaccessible.
Cl as it wuld be, yu shuldn’t cunt n lightning turning yu int a genius in ne flash. Mst f its results are painful, and culd stay with yu fr the rest f yur life.
28. What can we learn frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. 1 in 12,000 may die frm lightning blts. B. Lightning attacks can heat bdies t 27,700℃.
C. Humans are the mst likely target fr lightning blts.D. Branching scars are typical after lightning attacks.
29. What happened t the surgen after the strike?
A. He suffered a lifetime f neurlgical pain.B. His brain was left in a fixed state f death.
C. His unexplred brain areas were activated.D. He recalled hidden memries abut music.
30. What des the underlined wrd “This” refer t in paragraph 5?
A. The flding f brain’s neurtransmitters.B.The cell death due t lightning strikes.
C. The rewiring f brain neurns.D. The release f dying neurns.
31. What is the text mainly abut?
A. The prcess f lightning frmatin.B. The cnsequences f being struck by lightning.
C. The pssibility f lightning making a genius.D. The chances f surviving a lightning strike.

An early text-t-vide AI tl called MdelScpe, while impressive, was deeply limited in its ability t accurately represent the text prmpt—sme users even described the vide that it created as “nightmarish”. While a year later, text-t-vide AI wuld blur the line between the digital and the real.
If yu’ve ever used a text-t-image generative AI tl like DALL-E, yu’ll see that text-t-vide tls wrk in a similar way. The user prvides a prmpt, like “cat swimming in a fish tank”, and the tl creates a vide based n everything it knws abut cats, water, fish and the physics f hw they might interact. The tl makes use f what are knwn as “visual patches”, building blcks f data that help the AI t understand hw everything in the scene shuld interact and prgress, frame by frame.
Tls based n a diffusin system, like OpenAI’s Sra, are trained t recgnize bjects s they can refine images by filtering ut the incrrect visual patches. This prcess culd be cmpared t a wrker melting raw gld multiple times in rder t remve all its flaws（瑕疵）.
One f the remarkable things abut OpenAI’s Sra is that it can generate cntent in a variety f styles. When the prject was disclsed last February, OpenAI claimed that “Sra can generate vides up t a minute lng while maintaining visual quality and adherence（遵守）t the user’s prmpt.”
But there are cnstraints t Sra’s capabilities. As OpenAI shws in sme dem vides, the physics f hw bjects interact in the vides desn’t always make sense. Smetimes peple r bjects will blend tgether, transfrm int ther things, disappear r appear ut f nwhere. But if the technlgy can bund frm the bizarre spaghetti vide t where it is nw in a year, these limitatins prbably wn’t last lng.
Meanwhile, yu can still experiment with simple text-t-vide tls like invide AI, a prduct that was created with marketing, cntent creatin and educatin in mind. It’s perfect fr creating nline tutrials, “explainer” vides r prviding visuals fr a shrt stry.
32. What can we infer frm paragraph 1?
A. Text-t-vide AI has imprved significantly ver the past year.
B. MdelScpe can crrectly analyse text t the users.
C. Text-t-vide AI received negative feedback eventually.
D. MdelScpe was widely praised.
33. Hw can OpenAI’s Sra imprve images?
A. By recgnizing the bjects arund.B. By remving inapprpriate visual patches.
C. By creating cntent in varius styles. D. By wrking in the same way as MdelScpe.
34. What message des the last paragraph cnvey abut invide AI?
A. It may fall ut f use.B. It will take ages t see the future result.
C. It may increase daily expenses.D. It will be highly prfitable.
35. What is the main idea f the passage?
A. The limitatins f OpenAI’s Sra. B. The functins f varius AI tls.
C. A great leap fr creative AI.D. A demnstratin f making a vide.

An essential writing skill is the ability t use plain language effectively t cnvey ideas clearly. Plain language invlves using direct and accessible language with a straightfrward structure. T write in plain language, it is imprtant t fllw certain guidelines.
36 The nly details necessary are thse necessary fr understanding. Fr example, the sign “Wait behind the yellw line,” at a train platfrm includes “yellw” s travelers knw where t stand.
Plain language avids using vcabulary that requires specialized knwledge. If yu wrk in IT, yu can cmfrtably use the wrd “l(fā)atency” with yur clleagues. 37 But when speaking with smene withut an IT backgrund, yu might instead use “slw” t ensure that they knw what yu’re talking abut.

D．That is because they knw what it means.
E．Thus, it develps psitive relatinships with them.

【解析】
一、文章基調(diào)
續(xù)寫第一段的內(nèi)容需要圍繞著我看著graphic nvel突然想出的idea展開，包括idea是什么，和graphic有什么關(guān)系，以及pages的內(nèi)容和制作過程展開(結(jié)合續(xù)寫第二段第一句The next day, I handed my pages f aplgy t Kash.)。互動展開，需要解答我的道歉方式是什么這個問題，需要和pages 和graphic nvel有所聯(lián)系；第二段需要圍繞著我和Kash 之間的互動展開，包括我如何讓他原諒我以及他的回應(yīng)，需要解答他是否原諒我這個問題。這里會有同學(xué)偏題，把過多重點放在了比賽過程中，對于他兩的互動一筆帶過，最后又是比賽結(jié)果結(jié)束。但其實這一篇續(xù)寫的比賽僅僅提供了背景，他們?nèi)齻€無論是否拿獎都不重要，因為對于他們來說，重要的是友情，故事主要矛盾不在于比賽結(jié)果，而在于Kash 是否原諒我，以及我們的感悟。文中感悟：溝通和真誠是最大的必殺技。
二、動作分析
文章有大量的動作描寫，包括老師宣布比賽，我和Liya如何組隊，如何互動，以及Kash知道之后是什么反應(yīng)。因此續(xù)寫段落也需要有相應(yīng)的動作描寫。這里需要注意的是文章中出現(xiàn)了較多短語例如:meets their gal、felt bad abut、 leave ut、 were stuck in、Having first teamed up、walked 等等，因此續(xù)寫要語言協(xié)同的話也需一定的短語。根據(jù)續(xù)寫文本結(jié)尾S, I decided t d smething t make it up fr him and cnvince Kash he was an equal friend.以及續(xù)寫第一段That night, I was struck by an idea as I read a graphic nvel that all three f us liked.和續(xù)寫第二段段首The next day, I handed my pages f aplgy t Kash.可得知，pages 是我道歉的關(guān)鍵，因此續(xù)寫第一段應(yīng)有pages的相應(yīng)制作動作，pages 到底是什么? 根據(jù)續(xù)寫第二段The next day, I handed my pages f aplgy t Kash.可得知，第二段應(yīng)有我和Kash 道歉的互動，以及根據(jù)前文的伏筆What surprised me was that she had intended t draw names t assign randm grups, but didn’t get a chance t say it befre lunch.應(yīng)有老師宣布分組的動作。最后結(jié)果肯定是kash原諒了我們，然后三人和好,開開心心的場景結(jié)束，可以有擁抱，互相對望等動作。
三、心理活動分析
文章心理描寫主要集中在Kash生氣后，我的反應(yīng)，圍繞著我該怎么解除誤會，讓他知道他在我們心里也很重要展開。根據(jù)續(xù)寫第一句That night, I was struck by an idea as I read a graphic nvel that all three f us liked.，續(xù)寫第一段應(yīng)有我想到方法開心，但是又糾結(jié)于不知道他的反映，他是否會原諒我的復(fù)雜情緒描寫。根據(jù)續(xù)寫第二句，The next day, I handed my pages f aplgy t Kash.可得知，第二段應(yīng)又Kash收到道歉pages的心理描寫，根據(jù)負轉(zhuǎn)正原則，可以是從詫異，疑惑，到開心，最后選擇原諒我。以及我在被原諒后的心理描寫。可以通心理描寫引出文章中心思想:這場比賽不只是比賽，更是對我們友情的一場考驗和一門課。我們在這堂課中學(xué)到了溝通和交流的重要性。
范文：
That night, I was struck by an idea as I read a graphic nvel that all three f us liked. The stry was abut a grup f friends wh faced an unexpected accident, and they finally made it with their jint effrts. Kash had nce mentined a character he greatly admired. It dawned n me that I culd create a cartn character fr him, and I was cnfident that he wuld discern the sincerity in my artwrk and understand that I had never intended t hurt him. Despite being an idit in the art f drawing, I pured my heart and sul int the cartn and attached a small nte that read, "Dear friend, I am s srry. Culd yu frgive me?"
The next day, I handed my pages f aplgy t Kash. Upn seeing them, his face sftened.I prceeded t expressed hw much we valued his friendship and hw bad we felt abut leaving him ut f ur team. Kash's frwn gradually gave way t a smile，and he replied, "Yes, I frgive yu." Later in class, ur teacher disclsed the previus assignment fr each grup. Unfrtunately, the three f us were unable t wrk tgether. Hwever, it did nt matter because we had already turned ver a new page.The Battle f the Bks may have been a cmpetitin, but t us, it was an crucial chapter in ur tale f friendship.
