Rita Moreno is one of the very few performers to EGOT: to win an Emmy, a
Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony award. But come a little closer, and Moreno's is another
kind of immigrant（移民的） story.
She was a teen when MGM （米高梅电影公司） signed her in the 1950s. Major stu-
dios were still dominated by the men who'd run them for decades. They had her change her
name. While recognizing her talent, they didn't know what to do with a Latin girl. Moreno
played small parts, including a girl from India and a Burmese （缅甸的） woman. What
should've been her big break came when she was cast as Anita in West Side Story. She'd
remember Anita as "the very first Hispanic（西班牙的） character I had ever played who
had dignity, a sense of self-respect. She became my role model. " The night Moreno won the
Oscar, the Hispanic community across the USA broke out into cheers.
But that career turn didn't happen. Instead, she received more offers to play what she
described as "dusky servants". The racial and ethnic prejudice was still at play. "It broke
my heart, "she says. Rita Moreno didn't make another movie for seven years.
Then began her new act. Holding to her mother's philosophy-Never give in, never quit,
keep on moving"--she survived professionally during those years with work on the London
stage and in nightclubs, slowly reemerging on film and television, and eventually she
earned herself a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Peabody Career Achieve-
ment Award.
But even as she continues to perform, her work continues off the screen, speaking out
for and representing the Latin community. "I'm now known as la pionera, or the pioneer, "
Moreno says. "I really don't think of myself as a role model. But it turns out that I am, to
a lot of the Hispanic community. Not just in show business, but in life. But that's what
happens when you're first, right?"
24. What do we know about Moreno in Paragraph 2?
A. She was an actress contracted with MGM.
B. She had her future well-planned for her talent.
C. She was treated as a Hispanic girl with dignity.D. She won the Oscar for acting a Burmese woman.
25. Why didn't Moreno make movies for seven years after winning the Oscar?
A. She did not receive any film offers.
B. She rejected roles of racial prejudice.
C. She was tired of performing on the stage.
D. She focused on her stage career in nightclubs.
26. Which of the following can best describe Moreno?
A. Generous and brave. B. Kind and grateful.
C. Honest and trustworthy. D. Tough and determined.
27. What can we learn from Moreno's words in the last paragraph?
A. She prefers to be a role model in show business.
B. She is unhappy with what happened to an actress.
C. She makes a difference to the Hispanic community.
D. She feels pressured about being a Hispanic pioneer.

Not all birds sing, but several thousand species do. They sing to defend their territory
and croon（柔声唱） to impress potential mates. "Why birds sing is relatively well-an-
swered, "says Iris Adam, a behavioral neuroscientist. However, the big question for her was
why birds sing so much.
"As soon as you sing, you reveal yourself, "Adam says. "Like, where you are and
where your territory is. " In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications,
Adam and her co-workers offer a new explanation for why birds take that risk. They may
have to sing a lot every day to give their vocal（发声的） muscles the regular exercise
they need to produce top-quality songs. To figure out whether the muscles that produce
birdsongs require daily exercise, Adam designed an experiment on zebra finches-the little
Australian songbirds.
She prevented them from singing for a week by keeping them in the dark cage almost
around the clock. Light is what galvanizes the birds to sing, so she had to work to keep
them from warbling （鸣叫）. "The first two or three days, it's quite easy, "she says. "Butthe longer the experiment goes, the more they are like, 'I need to sing. "At that point,
she'd tap the cage and tell them to stop singing.
After a week, the birds' singing muscles lost half their strength. But Adam wondered
whether that impacted the quality of songs. When she played a male's song before and af-
ter the seven days of darkness, she couldn't hear a difference. But when Adam played it to a
group of female birds, six out of nine preferred the song that came from a male who'd
been using his singing muscles daily.
Adam's conclusion shows that "songbirds need to exercise their vocal muscles to pro-
duce top-performance songs. If they don't sing, they lose performance, and their songs get
less attractive to females. " This may help explain songbirds' continuous singing.
It's a good rule to live by, whether you're a bird or a human-practice makes perfect,
at least when it comes to singing one's heart out.
28. According to Iris Adam, birds sing so much to ______.
A. warn other birds of risks B. produce more songs
C. perform perfectly in singing D. defend their territory
29. What does the underlined word "galvanizes" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Prepares. B. Stimulates. C. Forbids. D. Frightens.
30. What do we know about the caged birds in the experiment?
A. They lost the ability to sing. B. They strengthened their muscles.
C. Their songs showed no difference. D. Their songs became less appealing.
31. What may Iris Adam agree with?
A. The songbirds live on music. B. The songbirds are born singers.
C. Daily exercise keeps birds healthy. D. Practice makes birds perfect singers.

Artificial intelligence models can trick each other into disobeying their creators and
providing banned instructions for making drugs, or even building a bomb, suggesting that
preventing such AI "jailbreaks" is more difficult than it seems.
Many publicly available large language models （LLMs）, such as ChatGPT, have hard-
coded rules that aim to prevent them from exhibiting racial or sexual discrimination, or an-
swering questions with illegal or problematic answers-things they have learned from humansvia training data. But that hasn't stopped people from finding carefully designed instructions
that block these protections, known as "jailbreaks", making AI models disobey the rules.
Now, Arush Tagade at Leap Laboratories and his co-workers have found a process of
jailbreaks. They found that they could simply instruct one LLM to convince other models
to adopt a persona （角色）， which is able to answer questions the base model has been
programmed to refuse. This process is called "persona modulation （调节）".
Tagade says this approach works because much of the training data consumed by large
models comes from online conversations, and the models learn to act in certain ways in
response to different inputs. By having the right conversation with a model, it is possible
to make it adopt a particular persona, causing it to act differently.
There is also an idea in AI circles, one yet to be proven, that creating lots of rules
for an AI to prevent it displaying unwanted behaviour can accidentally create a blueprint
for a model to act that way. This potentially leaves the AI easy to be tricked into taking
on an evil persona. "If you're forcing your model to be good persona, it somewhat under-
stands what a bad persona is, " says Tagade.
Yinzhen Li at Imperial College London says it is worrying how current models can be
misused, but developers need to weigh such risks with the potential benefits of LLMs.
"Like drugs, they also have side effects that need to be controlled, "she says.
32. What does the AI jailbreak refer to?
A. The technique to break restrictions of AI models.
B. The initiative to set hard-coded rules for AI models.
C. The capability of AI models improving themselves.
D. The process of AI models learning new information.
33. What can we know about the persona modulation?
A. It can help AI models understand emotions.
B. It prevents AI learning via online conversations.
C. It can make AI models adopt a particular persona.
D. It forces AI models to follow only good personas.
34. What is Yinzhen Li's attitude towards LLMs?
A. Unclear. B. Cautious. C. Approving. D. Negative.35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. LLMs: Illegal Learning Models B. LLMs: The Latest Advancement
C. AI Jailbreaks: A New Challenge D. AI Jailbreaks: A Perfect Approach

余选项。
The wide consensus （共识） across all generations is that good health is the absolute
top priority in life, outranking money, education and career. 36 We have to work
for it. If you're hesitating over your New Year's resolutions, we've got tips.
Refine（完善） your goal. There's an evidence-based technique to help you refine your
goals and see them through by setting up a system to track your progress. This can im-
prove the likelihood of success. It's called the SMART goal process. One common problem is
setting an unrealistic goal. 3 7
Shift your attitude. Even if you're off to a slow start this year, embrace optimism. A
study published found optimists live longer. There's literally a longevity （长寿） boost to
staying positive among challenges. And what's the connection to resolutions? 38 Opti-
mistic individuals tend to have goals and the confidence to reach them, the researchers con-
clude.
Find a group. If you aim to eat better or drink less, your chances of success are
higher if the people around you are on board too. 39 Research shows people are
more likely to reach body weight goals and maintain weight loss if they're part of a group
effort.
40 It's easy to wish for the magic medicine or the super-food that can lead us
to great health quickly. The reality is that our daily habits influence our health a lot more
than we realize. The science shows that people who followed the habits of sleeping
soundly, eating well, staying actively, limiting alcohol and reducing screen time cut the risk
of disease by more than 50%.
A. But good health isn't a gift.
B. Lifestyle choices matter to our mind.C. Small habit changes help shape good health.
D. Practicing optimism may help enhance your confidence.
E. There's a strong link between optimism and healthy behaviors.
F. This technique helps you commit to one that's actually achievable.
G. We social creatures tend to mirror the behaviors of those closest to us.

"Bang. . !"Sara pushed the door open. She threw her school bag onto the floor and
called out, "I'm home!" No answer. The house was silent. It sounded empty, but she knew
it wasn't. Her mum and dad were working upstairs.
Sara got a glass of orange juice, went into the conservatory（玻璃房） and sat down
in her favourite chair. The garden was still in the dark afternoon. On one side, her mum's
garden was neat and tidy with boring short grass, boring straight flowerbeds and boring
straight paths. But on the other side, Sara's Nature Garden looked wild and exciting with
big dead sunflowers and tall grasses.
"Nobody is interested in me. Mum and dad only think about their work, "she thought
sadly.
Then she recalled: One month earlier, she learned in a magazine that many dogs were
abandoned because their owners got bored with them; One hour earlier, she saw a cute dog
wagging its tail and licking her friend's face.
Sara knew today was special. Today things were changing. She couldn't wait any
longer. It's time to talk to her parents.So Sara got up from her chair and climbed all the way to the loft （阁楼）. "Mum, I
want a talk. " said Sara. "Just a minute!" Her mum clicked on the keyboard, took off her
glasses and turned to her daughter. Sara coughed, took a deep breath, and told her mum
that she wanted a dog. "No, Sara. That's impossible, " her mum said firmly. Sara went to
her father but got the same answer. She rushed into her room angrily and slammed the
door shut.
Later, Sara's mum knocked at the door and went in. "Darling, we know this is impor-
tant to you. You can have a dog if you take the responsibility. But look at your Nature
Garden, your school bag, your bedroom! What a mess! Do you think you can take good care
of a dog?"said her mum.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Sara was lost in thought and decided to make some changes.
