Can you smell it? The beer? The sweat? The excitement? Festival season is well and truly here—and all things
could not be more ready. Here are some of the best UK music festivals for 2024．
●Glastonbury
Glastonbury is the biggest music festival in the UK（maybe even the world）, and for good reason. It’s an
undoubted legend. Despite all the very real fields and TV coverage, it’s not entirely sure if it exists on earth. But
prepare that tickets are impossibly difficult to get your hands on.
Location and Time: Worthy Farm, Somerset. June 26-30．
●ALSO
Talk tents are pretty much a given at every festival, but ALSO is all about giving equal footing to both ideas
and music. There will be around 300 inspiring events across 14 stages, ranging from comedy to talks from
respected speakers. There will be many delicious food traders to choose from, too, so you can nourish your
stomach as well as your mind.
Location and Time: Park Farm, Compton Verney Warwickshire. July 12-14．
● Green Man
Green Man has earned itself fame for being the UK’s “mini Glastonbury”. Tickets can be sold out in just four
hours, without any of the line-up announced. As its name suggests, the festival has outstanding green elements:
compost washrooms, no single-use plastic and all power from hydrogen or solar energy!
Location and Time: Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales. August 15-18．
● Lost Village
With rainbow-lit woodlands, junkyard cars and professional performers, Lost Village is like stepping into a
fairy tale—one where four-to-the-floor techno plays for hours on end, and you’re allowed to be as naughty as you
like. It also hosts workshops, as well as live music and many health experiences, allowing you to sweat at open-air
yoga or in the wood-fired hot tub.
Location and Time: Norton Disney, Lincolnshire. Aug 22-25．

Roger Crawford had everything he needed to play tennis—except two hands and a leg. When he was
born, he didn’t have palms but only a thumb-like projection（突起物）extended directly out of his right
forearm and a thumb and one finger stuck out of his left forearm. He had only three toes on his shrunken
right foot and an undeveloped left leg which was later cut off.
The doctor said Roger suffered from a rare disease affecting only one out of 90,000 children born in the
United States and he would probably never walk or care for himself. Fortunately, Roger’s parents didn’t believe
him. “My parents always taught me that I was only as disabled as I wanted to be,” said Roger. “They never
allowed me to feel sorry for myself or take advantage of people because of my disability.
Roger could swing a tennis racket（球拍）. Unfortunately, when he swung it hard, his weak hold
usually launched it into space. By luck, Roger found an odd-looking tennis racket and accidentally put his
finger between its double-barred handle when he picked it up. The close fit made it possible for Roger to
swing, serve and volley（截击）like an able bodied player. He practiced every day and was soon playing
—and losing—matches.
But Roger never gave up. He practiced hard and the surgery on the two fingers of his left hand enabled Roger
to hold his special racket better, greatly improving his game. Although he had no role models to guide him, Roger
became crazy about tennis and in time he started to win.
Roger went on to play college tennis, finishing his tennis career with 22 wins and 11 losses. He later became
学科网（北京）股份有限公司
学科网（北京）股份有限公司the first physically disabled tennis player to be certified as a teaching professional by the United States Professional
Tennis Association. Roger now tours the country, speaking to groups about what it takes to be a winner, no matter
who you are.
24．What happened to Roger when he was born?
A．He had only one le g and two hands.
B．He was a baby born with disabilities.
C．His right forearm was cut off by the doctor.
D．He suffered from a deadly disease.
25．What do we know about Roger’s parents according to the text?
A．They were afraid that Roger would never walk.
B．They thought Roger would live like a normal person.
C．They believed Roger would recover after the surgery.
D．They asked Roger to play tennis.
26．Which of the following best describe Roger?
A．Determined and friendly.
B．Caring and creative.
C．Strong-willed and hard-working.
D．Sensitive and independent.
27．What is the text mainly about?

Artificial intelligence is making its way into classrooms, suggesting a future where education is more
personalized and active. AI’s ability to customize learning and provide immediate feedback could change how
students learn, making education more effective and attracting.
Schools globally are starting to see the benefits of AI. For example, adaptive learning platforms can now tailor
lessons to each student’s pace and style of learning, improving engagement and understanding. DreamBox
学科网（北京）股份有限公司
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Learning, an AI-powered math platform, has already showed how such technology can improve students’ abilities
in problem solving.
However, there’s a notable concern raised alongside these advancements —the AI divide, or the growing gap
between those who have access to advanced AI tools and those who do not. A 2023 report by the Educational Data
Trust found that wealthier school districts are three times more likely to have adopted AI-powered learning
platforms compared to the under-resourced districts. We don’t know what this technology will look like 10 years
from now, but the current trend shuts out poor districts. It’s in the big dog’s best interest to do so, but it sucks
anyways.
Addressing the AI divide requires a concerted effort. Policymakers have the power to level the playing field
by supporting AI accessibility in all schools. Schools and educators have a role to play too. They must train their
students to use AI as a tool. They can foster partnerships to share AI resources and focus on building universally
essential skills like critical thinking and digital literacy. Tech companies and community groups have roles to play
as well, such as offering AI expertise and support to schools lacking resources.
AI in education has both advantages and disadvantages, with the promise of transformative（带来变革
的）learning coming alongside the risk of deepening divides. As we accept AI’s potential, we must also
make sure that it serves as a tool for to help everyone, paving the way for a future where every student has
the opportunity to succeed.
28．Why does the author mention “DreamBox Learning” in paragraph 2?
A．To show the advantages of AI.
B．To introduce an AI-powered social media platform.
C．To help students to solve math problems.
D．To improve students’ abilities in problem solving.
29．What is the author’s attitude towards AI in education?
A．Supportive. B．Disappointed. C．Objective. D．Critical.
30．What does the underlined word “concerted” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Tough. B．Joint. C．Limited. D．Brief.
31．What is the best title for the text?
A．AI in Education—A Double-edged Sword
B．AI in Education—A Great Success
C．AI in Media Platform—An Advanced Tool
D．AI in Classroom—A Replacement for the Teacher

Kids are even more in the bag of social media companies than we think. Many of them have given
away their online autonomy fully to their phones. For them, the only acceptable online environment is
one designed by big tech algorithms（算法）.
As children’s free time and imaginations become more and more tightly joined to the social media, we need to
understand that uncontrolled access to the Internet comes at a cost. This spring, I visited with a group of high
school students in Connecticut to have a conversation about the role that social media plays in their daily lives and
in their mental health. More children today report feeling depressed, lonely, and disconnected than ever before.
There are countless problems with children and teenagers using social media. But the high schoolers with
whom I met alerted me to a hidden result of teenagers’ growing addiction to social media: the death of exploration
and discovery. Algorithmic recommendations now do the work of discovering and pursuing interests, finding
community, and learning about the world. Kids today are, simply put, not learning how to be curious, critical adults
—and they don’t seem to know what they’ve lost.
We all know the journeys in life matter just as much as the destinations. It is the sweat to get the outcome that
makes the outcome more fulfilling and satisfying.
What the kids I spoke to did not know is that these algorithms have been designed in a way that unavoidably
makes and keeps users unhappy. Social media companies know that content that generates negative feelings holds
our attention longer than that which makes us feel good. If you are a teenager feeling bad about yourself, your
social media feed will keep delivering you videos and pictures that are likely to produce negative feelings.
We should take some measures. Teenagers and kids are to be inspired to determine if we will really be happier
as a species when machines and algorithms do all the work for us, or if fulfillment only comes when humans
actually do the work, searching and discovering, of being human.
32．We can learn from paragraph 1 that social media companies ______.
A．earn a lot of money from kids
B．have a great impact on kids
C．make kids give away their phones
D．provide necessary services to kids
33．According to the author, what is the result of children’s addiction to social media?
A．They become more dependent on their phones.
B．They feel less depressed and lonely than ever before.
C．They are unable to find community and learn about the world.
D．They gradually lose the ability to be curious and critical.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司
学科网（北京）股份有限公司34．Why do social media companies prefer content that generates negative feelings?
A．It helps them gain more attention from users.
B．It makes users feel more satisfied with their products.
C．It encourages users to explore and discover new things.
D．It promotes the development of artificial intelligence.
35．What should be done to change the current situation?
A．Limit the use of social media for children and teenagers.
B．Inspire children to complete the work without the help of algorithms.
C．Encourage teenagers and children to explore and discover the contentment of life.
D．Redesign social media algorithms to make users happier and more fulfilled.

Choosing a major is one of the most important decisions a college student can make. The choice can have a
lasting effect on a student’s life, shaping work experiences, earnings and professional skills down the line. 36
.
● Find your passion
A major can greatly influence the activities and clubs students are involved with, the people they become
friends with and the connections they make. 37 . While there’s a value in doing so, experts say students
should first consider what they’re passionate about and what skills they want to build for success after college.
●Do your research on what schools offer
38 . Does that college have a track record of success with graduates from that major? Does that college
even offer that major? While students might have certain schools they’re interested in due to status, family ties or
geographic location, they should keep an open mind when considering colleges.
● 39
Once students have determined a passion, it can be valuable to know which majors are more or less likely to
lead to a high salary. Starting salaries for those who graduate with certain bachelor’s degrees, especially in science,
technology, engineering and math, can be particularly high. In fact, all 10 of the college majors with the highest
starting salaries based on Pay Scale data are in STEM fields, with computer engineering and computer science the
top-paid.
● Consider declaring a major when applying
学科网（北京）股份有限公司
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Declaring a major when applying to college can signal to an admissions office that an applicant is focused.
Experts recommend declaring one even if a student is undecided or it might change down the road. Students have to
really review the application as a whole. 40 , admissions officers may think a student is unfocused.
A．Calculate possible salaries
B．Figure out what you want to do in life
C．If everything just seems a little bit unorganized
D．Here are 4 tips on what to consider when choosing a major
E．While it’s common for graduates to get jobs in different fields

serving area, the signs for which dishes were 44 would be changed daily. There were usually about 30
signs, and I could only 45 a few Chinese characters of the dishes each time. If I could 46 in time, I
could have asked a Chinese classmate to help translate some of the names of the available dishes for me, and I
could have taken the 47 to make new friends having helped me gain more understanding of Chinese
culture.
Things changed when I had to 48 how to fix the clogged（堵 塞）toilet in my apartment.
But what worried me was that I couldn’t explain the problem to the repair team over the 49 .
Instead of calling the team, I went down and tried to talk to the man watching the building’s entrance. I
explained the problem in my 5 0 , then mimed（用哑剧动作表现）a toilet bowl. It turned out that I

helped call the repairman and fixed my toilet.

The Fire Truck
Some people give time, some money, some their skills and connections; some literally gave their blood... but
everyone has something to give. That’s what Tami learned through her own experience.
After her parents broke up, things at Tami’s house changed. Her mom started working, and Tami became
responsible for caring for the house and making meals for herself and her younger sister. Though money was tight,
they never went without. They had a nice home in a modest neighborhood, and the girls never wanted for the
necessities—food, clothing and shelter. What Tam i missed most of all, though, was family.
Tami spent the summer during her ninth-grade year working at a park to earn extra spending money. Her job
was to run the ball shed and organize activities for the kids who spent their summer days at the park.
The kids absolutely liked Tami very much because she was constantly going out of her way to do things for
them. She would plan picnics, organize field trips and even buy ice cream for all of them, using her own money.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司
学科网（北京）股份有限公司She got to know one little boy who lived in an apartment across the street from the park. His parents both
worked at fast-food restaurants, and she knew that they didn’t have much money. The boy talked about his
upcoming birthday and the fire truck he wanted so badly. He said he was going to be a fireman someday and
needed the truck to practice. He told Tami more details about the truck than she knew a toy truck could have.
The boy’s birthday came and went. The next day when Tami saw the boy, she expected to see a shiny red truck
in his arms. When he arrived empty-handed, she asked about his birthday—did he get his truck? The boy said no,
his parents were going to have to wait and get it for him later, when things were better. He seemed a little sad but
kept his chin up as best as he could.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After work that day, Tami cashed her paycheck and headed for the toy store.
On Saturday, Tami walked over to the boy’s house for dinner on invitation.
