A
Richard Totten Button was born on July 18, 1929, in Englewood, New Jersey. He and his two older brothers
were raised in wealth. Button began skating when he was five years old, using his brothers’ old skates.
When Button was 11 years old, he received his first pair of skates for Christmas. His first coach did not believe
he had any ability and would never learn to skate. Button’s parents found him another coach, Swiss-born Lussi. For the
next ten years, during his summers off from school，Button would train with Lussi in Lake Placid, New York, where
the 1932 Winter Olympics had been held.
Button soon proved he had great natural ability. Combined with hard training and great coaching, he soon had
success in competition. In 1943, he placed second at the Eastern States championships. Showing his competitive spirit,
Button was unhappy with his second place win. Later that year, he won first title.
Button competed in the 1947 World Championships. He placed second, though some believed Button should
have won. Button decided to change his skating style. He became more daring in his free skate.
To practise for the Olympics, Button competed in the 1948 European championships in Prague, Czechoslovakia.
Not only did this competition assist Button in preparing for the Olympic games, but it allowed him to show off his
newly developed style to the judges so that it might be more favorable later on. Button impressed the judges enough to
win the title.
At the 1948 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland, Button won the gold medal with his free skate. Button
cemented his status as a leading skater.
In the fall of 1948, Button entered Harvard University. He could have gone to Yale University, but Yale would
not let him take time off to compete as a skater.
In 1952, Button graduated with his B．A．In the same year, Button repeated his gold medal victory at the

An AI from Google DeepMind has achieved a silver medal score at this year’s International Mathematical
Olympiad (IMO), the first time any AI has made it to the podium (领奖台).
The IMO is considered the world’s most famous competition for young mathematicians. In January, Google
DeepMind demonstrated AlphaGeometry, an AI system that could answer some IMO geometry questions as well as
humans. However, this was not from a live competition, and it couldn’t answer questions from other mathematical
disciplines.
Google DeepMind has now released a new AI, called AlphaProof, which can solve a wider range of
mathematical problems. It is an improved version of AlphaGeometry that can solve more geometry questions.
When the team tested both systems together on this year’s IMO questions, they answered four out of six
questions correctly, giving them a score of 28 out of a possible 42 points. This was enough to win a silver medal and
just one point under this year’s gold medal threshold (门槛). At the contest in Bath, UK, 58 competitors won a gold
5 / 11medal and 123 won a silver medal.
“We are all very much aware that AI will eventually be better than humans at solving most mathematical
problems, but the rate at which AI is improving is breathtaking,” says Gregor Dolinar, the IMO president. “Missing the
gold medal at IMO 2024 by just one point a few days ago is truly impressive.”
While AlphaProof’s performance is impressive, it works slowly, taking up to three days to find some solutions
instead of the 4. 5 hours per three questions that competitors are allowed. It also failed to answer both questions on
combinatorics, which is the study of counting and arranging numbers. “We are still working to understand why this is,
which will hopefully lead us to improve the system,” says Alex Davies at Google DeepMind.
41．What do we know about AlphaProof in paragraph 3?
A．Its all functions. B．Its potential clients.
C．Its advantages over AlphaGeometry. D．Its abilities to analyse problems.
42．What can be learned about this year’s International Mathematical Olympiad?
A．It took place in Bath, UK. B．There were 10 questions in the contest.
C．181 competitors took part in the contest. D．This year’s gold medal threshold was 30 points.
43．What is one of the limitations of AlphaProof?
A．It can only solve geometry-related problems.
B．It is much slower than human competitors in answering questions.
C．It has difficulty in understanding the basic concepts of mathematics.
D．It requires a large amount of computing resources to function
44．What may be Alex Davies’ attitude to the development of AlphaProof?
A．Neutral. B．Uncaring. C．Disapproving. D．Positive.
45．What’s the best title of the text?
A．DeepMind AI Gets Silver Medal at IMO 2024
B．DeepMind AI Is Developed to Take Part in IMO 2024
C．AI Manages to Solve Difficult Mathematical Problems Well
D．AI Will Be Better than Humans at Solving Mathematical Problems

Large rocks formed one wall of Diana Kennedy’s home in Zitácuaro, around 170 kilometers west of Mexico
6 / 11City. Her gardens were full of herbs and other eatable plants; the home itself was built of locally made, often recycled
materials. Shortly after her death, Mexico’s Culture Ministry called Quinta Diana, as she named her home, “an example
of sustainability and conservation of nature and biodiversity”.
Ms. Kennedy bought the land in 1980 and it expanded in the following years. Born in Loughton, United
Kingdom in 1923, Diana Kennedy had no formal culinary (relating to cooking) training and tried a variety of jobs. She
went to Mexico in 1957 to marry Paul P. Kennedy and she soon began working on her first book, The Cuisines of
Mexico, which was published in 1972. The plural (复数形式 ) was intentional: no English-speaking writer before her
was determined to seek out and celebrate the wide range of Mexican food and cooking.
She had seen Mexico modernize and develop, and she drew people’s attention to the culinary disadvantages: the
increasing use of convenient but poor corn flour rather than earthy, sweet fresh corn flour; the tendency to rush rather
than enjoy preparing food; the disappearing of Mexico’s forests.
She was more a culinary anthropologist (人类学家 ) than an inventor. She didn’t create recipes; she gathered
them, testing them dozens of times until the taste was as she remembered when she first tried them. She had great
confidence in her approach, taking 14 years to research her final book, Oaxaca al Gusto: An Infinite Gastronomy,
which was devoted to the state’s deliciously complex cuisine. It won a James Beard Award for Cookbook of the Year,
She was a strong advocate of traditional dishes. She understood that Mexican cuisine often has a sort of austerity
(朴素 ), using few ingredients at the peak of their ripeness, and prepared to let every flavor shine. She was deeply
doubtful about culinary innovation and angry about the debasing (质量降低 ) of what she rightly considered as the
world’s great cuisine.
46．What does Quinta Diana symbolize?
A．A long history.
B．A special garden design.
C．Unique Mexican culture.
D．The concept of environmental protection.
47．What can we learn about Diana Kennedy?
A．She introduced a variety of Mexican dishes in her first book.
B．She bought Quinta Diana soon after she moved to Mexico.
C．She was a well-trained cook before becoming a writer.
D．She married Paul P. Kennedy in Loughton in 1957.
7 / 1148．Which statement would Diana Kennedy agree with?
A．Food should be prepared for quite a long time.
B．Corn flour is not the best choice for Mexican cuisine.
C．More ingredients should be added to Mexican cuisine.
D．Food shouldn’t be made at the cost of damaging its nature.
49．What’s Diana Kennedy’s attitude towards some novel dishes?
A．Unclear. B．Disapproving.
C．Supportive. D．Tolerant.
50．Which of the following words can best describe Diana Kennedy?
A．Confident and sensitive.
B．Optimistic and ambitious.
C．Cooperative and generous.
D．Determined and responsible.
D
Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and make progress each day is closely
connected with our personal dream and goal.
But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing? What separates successful people from
the dreamers is their persistent (锲而不舍的 ) action. When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and
not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ ll be sure to successfully
deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we
shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.
This is the famous formula (公式) for success:
Dream> Believe> Achieve
Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe) . And then they do
nothing. They must imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired of waiting and lose a lot, they get bored.
They say angrily how terrible their life is.
I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to
your success formula:
Dream> Believe> Act> Achieve
8 / 11For me, act is the most important thing for success and that’s to Take Persistent Action (Act). If you say, “I can’t
do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there
will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from
the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.
51．What should you do when you find your lessons very hard?
A．Ask people for help. B．Try and keep trying.
C．Get ready to create wonders. D．Prepare for a harder one.
52．Which does the writer add to the famous formula?
A．Act. B．Achieve. C．Connect. D．Create.
53．What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean?
A．危险 B．想象 C．奇迹 D．困难
54．Why does the writer use the formula “Dream> Believe> Act> Achieve”?
A．To support his idea. B．To ask readers to explain it.
C．To show what his goals are. D．To compare it with a bridge.
55．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Doing Something Valuable
B．Studying Hard and Making Progress
C．Realizing Dreams with Persistent Action
D．Separating Successful People from Dreams

阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
A poor little boy was at a loss (不知所措的 ) when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal,
he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry, so she brought him a large glass of milk.He drank it
slowly, and then asked, “How much should I pay you?”
“You needn’t pay anything,” she replied. “My mother has taught me never to accept paying for kindness.” He
said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, because of the young woman’s
9 / 11kindness and help, his faith (信心) in humanity (人性) had increased .
Years later, the young woman became gravely ill. The local doctors were puzzled. They finally sent her to the
big city, where specialists (专家) could be called in to study her rare disease (罕见的疾病 ). Dr.Howard Kelly, now
famous, was called in for the consultation (咨 询 会 ) When he heard the name of the town she came from, he
immediately rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.
He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill (账单) to him for
approval (批准). He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to
open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off.Finally, she looked and the note on
the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words ...
“Paid in full with a glass of milk.”
At this moment, she at once realized the medical expense was actually paid by the doctor himself. Tears of joy
flooded her eyes as she prayed silently: “Thank you. Love has spread through human hearts and hands.”
