Do you recall your beloved school teachers? Did they awaken a passion for a once-unappealing subject or
offer valuable guidance?
Mr Moriarty was the one. When he became a science teacher, 22-year-old Patrick Moriarty was hoping to
make a difference in his students’ lives. After all, the natural world has so many fascinating secrets that he was
willing to teach and he would devote long years to preparing his “kids” for adulthood. In 1978, he was teaching
kids about the sky events and passed out worksheets, showing the paths of the upcoming eclipses （日食）. Sadly,
a lot of them would not be visible in New York. All but one on April 8, 2024.
“Circle that one,” Mr Moriarty told his students. “We’re going to get together on that one.”
The youngsters laughed-the eclipse wouldn’t occur for nearly five decades and everyone would’ve forgotten
the promise by then. But they severely underestimated their teacher.
Years flew by and Mr Moriarty made the same promise to all of his classes about the plan in the distant future.
As the popularity of printed press declined, he created a Facebook group in 2022, detailing the event and trying to
find former students who would want to attend it.
Mr Moriarty never expected there would be such a massive turnout, but the word was spreading like wildfire
among his former classmates. On Monday, the 8th of April, about 100 former students gathered in their teacher’s
driveway. As the students started arriving at his house, he had trouble recognizing them. However, he remembered
most of their names and some amusing stories that happened during his teaching years.
“It was so interesting to see them walking up with thinning or gray hair, and looking at me like, ‘You’re still
my teacher,’” he laughed. “This has got to be the longest homework assignment in history. ” Lastly, Mr Moriarty
suggested marking the 22nd of August, 2044, the day when the next visible total solar eclipse will occur. Once
again, everyone laughed, but this time with a little less doubt.
24. Why did Mr Moriarty create a Facebook group?
A. To popularize astronomical knowledge.
B. To seek out former students who wanted to take class.
C. To share some funny stories from his teaching career.
D. To remind his former students of the previous assignment.
25. Which of the following words best describe Mr Moriarty?
A. Passionate and committed.
B. Honest and wise.
C. Respectable and humble.
D. Generous and energetic.
26. What can be inferred about Mr Moriarty from paragraph 6?
A. He suffered from a poor memory.
B. He had little influence on his former students.
C. He took great pride in his students’ achievements.
D. He was astonished to see so many of his former students.
27. What can we learn about the students’ reaction to the reunion of 2044?
A. They ignored the special promise.
B. They put more trust in their teacher.
C. They thought of their teacher being amusing.
D. They doubted the possibility of the proposal.

The UK is experiencing a boom in book clubs, according to new data from event listing companies. Book club
listings on the ticketing site Eventbrite increased by 350% between 2019 and 2023. Between 2022 and 2023 alone,
book club listings on the site rose by 41%. Another event listing site, Meetup, reported a 14% increase in the
number of RSVPs to book clubs between January 2023 and January 2024, compared with a 4% increase in RSVPs
for all UK-based events.
Victoria Okafor, who co-runs the book club Between2Books, said the heightened interest in reading may be
partly the result of a generational “shift in hobbies”, as GenZ (the generation around 00s) turned to other ways to
spend their free time. Besides, during the global health crisis period, many people were forced to slow down and
pick up or reignite hobbies, and online book clubs provided a platform to connect with others.
Social media may be helping with the visibility of book clubs, too, said Okafor. “People may come across
your page accidentally, but from there people have the knowledge to attend should they wish. I think this makes a
big difference compared to just hearing things from word of mouth.”
Many of the book clubs listed on Eventbrite carry specific themes-Sheffield Feminist Book Club, Bring Your
Baby Book Club, and Modern Chinese Literature Online Book Club.
Okafor’s club, Between2Books, focuses on books by writers traditionally excluded （排除） from the
classics. She thought she began seeking out such stories “embarrassingly late”. “Reading authors of color brought
back a joy to my reading that came from not only seeing elements of myself and culture reflected in novels but also
reading stories that could be funny or empowering as opposed to the accounts of struggle that can often surround
stories of people of color,” she said. “The variety of books makes reading and discussion so rich and I think that’s
what attenders are drawn to.”
28. How is paragraph 1 mainly developed?
A. By giving examples.
B. By listing figures.
C. By analyzing causes.
D. By presenting theories.
29. What does the underlined word “reignite” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Return.
B. Reward.
C. Regain.
D. Reconnect.
30. Which is one of the reasons for the boom of book clubs?
A. The influence of social media.
B. The recommendation of old generations.
C. GenZ having a stronger thirst for knowledge.
D. Some people shifting the focus of their lives.
31. What attracts people to join Okafor’s club according to the last paragraph?
A. The diversity of books.
B. The reputation of writers.
C. The humor of the works.
D. The suggestion of the organizer.

A Hollywood-quality movie may soon be only a few text prompts （提词） away. OpenAI last week
revealed its latest, world-shocking technology: a text-to-video app called Sora that can produce photorealistic short
videos lasting up to a minute.
The company hasn’t released Sora to the public yet, but the artificially generated videos it created for its
demonstration were stunning. In one, the detailed prompt involves people walking through Tokyo while cherry
blossoms are flying through the wind. The resulting video was a mind-blowing exercise in world-building, showing
a couple walking in a detailed streetscape that is unmistakably Tokyo. Perhaps even more awe-inspiring is that Sora
does not merely produce videos that fulfill the demands of the prompts. It improvises （即兴创作） in a way that
suggests a talent for storytelling.
“Good grief,” said Loz Blain in New Atlas. “We’d better try to deal with the speed at which this technology is
advancing. The wheel, the steam engine, the airplane, the computer, the Internet... None of them ever sped up like
this. If you look closely, you can tell that these very short videos aren’t real. But it’s impossible to say whether this
technology is nearly as good as it’s going to get. Videos made a year ago, using the AI tool Midjourney, couldn’t
even display the correct number of fingers on a hand. But Sora now creates a world as you describe. Get ready for
the next wave of ‘AI disruption （颠覆）’ as Sora shakes the entertainment industry.”
Yet costs are increasing, too. Estimates of the cost of building out AI systems have varied from hundreds of
billions to 7 trillion dollars over the coming years. Where’s the money going to come from? With OpenAI’s current
valuation approaching $100 billion, traditional investors are largely priced out. Governments may be one possible
solution, but many are likely to have national security concerns about backing this technology.
Such concerns are well founded. It’s simply impossible to know how these systems will be misused until
they’re out in the wild. While OpenAI has the ability to prevent violent pictures, disinformation is much harder to
police. Faked videos could sow confusion and chaos. At the very least, OpenAI should wait until after November to
bring Sora to the public.
32. Why does the author mention the resulting video in paragraph 2?
A. To show Sora has a better gift for writing stories.
B. To show Sora has the potential to create great videos.
C. To show the video is as good as a Hollywood-quality one.
D. To show the video is a stunning result of human wisdom.
33. What is Loz Blain’s attitude towards the future of Sora?
A. Dismissive. B. Unclear. C. Optimistic. D. Objective.
34. What can be inferred about the technology from the last two paragraphs?
A. It is bound to cause confusion and chaos.
B. Traditional investment in it is a possible option.
C. Governments are doubtful about its development.
D. Possible problems related to its use remain to be seen.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Sora: a Rising Star of Video-Making
B. Sora: an Admirable Genius at Storytelling
C. Sora: a Troublemaker of Public Safety
D. Sora: a Potential Promoter of Film Industry

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Getting Things Done (GTD) method refers to a personal productivity methodology （方法论） that
redefines how you approach your life and work. It relies on the idea that you need to simplify your workload. If you
frequently feel overwhelmed or you just have too much going on, this method might be great for you. 36
However, it can indeed easily be broken down into five main components:
37 Write it all down, either in a planner or a document, and don’t skip anything, even if it seems
irrelevant. You will find it somehow helpful in the future.
Clarify what you have written down. Look at each task and identify the steps you can take to complete it.
Quickly write those down, so you break each task into steps. 38 Then consider whether it can be thrown out
or handled later instead.
Organize by creating a to-do list, putting action items on your calendar, assigning smaller tasks, filing away
reference materials to create a timely, structured approach to getting it done.
Reflect frequently and review all your organized materials on a regular basis. 39 Try using an “after-
action review” to comprehensively go over what you’ve done and what you need to work on or stick with as you
move forward.
Engage by tackling your action items knowingly and actively. You have a list of tasks and action items, an
organized system with dates and references, and a schedule for checking in with yourself. 40
A little stress can push you to be more productive, but too much will have the opposite effect, so using the
GTD method can really make you calm and confident.
A. Seize whatever is coming into your head.
B. Note down the main concerns in your daily life.
C. Sometimes you may feel it tough to work out the plan.
D. Then you have all in place and work toward goal completion gradually.
E. The methodology of GTD may be involved enough to fill a whole book.
F. This could mean every Monday, you check it, update or revise something.
G. You may find that there are no actionable steps associated with some task.
