24、   An old woman had two large pots (罐), one on each end of a pole (扁担). I always see her carrying the pole with the pots across her neck.

One of the pots had a crack (裂缝) in it while the other pot was perfect and always carried a full pot of water. At the end of the long walk from the well to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half-full.

For two years this happened daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. One day, I asked the old woman: “ Why don’t you get another pot? The cracked one always makes water drop all the way back to your house.”

The old woman smiled: “ Did you notice that there are flowers on one side of the road, but not on the other side? That’s because I have always known about the crack, so I planted flower seeds (种子) on the side of the road. And every day while I walk back, I can water them.”

“For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to make my house more beautiful. Without the cracked pot, I would not have this beauty.”

Each of us has our own cracks. But it’s these cracks that make our lives together so interesting and meaningful. So, accept these imperfections (不完美) and try to make good use of them.

【1】The old woman used ________ to carry water.

A. two perfect pots B. one large and one small pot

C. two cracked pots D. one good and one cracked pot

【2】How many pots of water were left when the old woman arrived home?

A. A half pot. B. One pot. C. One and a half pots. D. Two pots.

【3】The old woman planted ________ seeds on the side of the road.

A. flower B. apple C. vegetable D. rice

【4】The story wants to tell us that ________.

A. we mustn’t laugh at others

B. we should try to be perfect in our life

C. an imperfection can make a life meaningful

D. we shouldn’t use a cracked pot to carry water

25、Dear Liz,

My stay in Thailand has certainly been fantastic in my life.

Life is busy and exciting. Bangkok is just like any other big city with a population of 10 million and heavy traffic. I’m very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside the city. There are Mr and Mrs Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18, the daughter Chinda, who is 16, and Grandpa and Grandma.

I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda. The school teaches about 70 percent in English, and 30 percent in Thai. I’ve learned some spoken language, but Thai writing is very difficult. The cooking lesson is my favourite. I’m learning all about Thai food and culture. People don’t use chopsticks here, but spoons and forks. When I come back, I’m going to cook you a real Thai meal.

Last weekend we visited some temples. We also drove to Pattaya beach near Bangkok. I thought it was great. But Sanan and Chinda say that next month they’re taking me to Phuket Island. The beaches there are even more beautiful. The month after next, we’re going to travel to Mr Phairat’s hometown in the north of Thailand. The Phairats own land there, and they have two elephants. I’m going to ride those elephants — and even wash them. Sanan and Chinda say it’s really fun.

I’m amazed by everything in this country, especially by the elephants. Elephants are an important part of Thai culture and way of life. They have been a traditional symbol of Thailand for many years in times of war and peace. In the seventh century, a Thai king trained 20,000 elephants for battle (战斗).

I’ll tell you all about my Thai boxing (拳击) lessons next time I write.

Yours

Mandy

26、US poet Allen Ginsberg once said, “Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original(独创的) human mind.”

To know the special ability of poetry to catch the human spirit, World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21 each year.

The magic of poetry lies in the connection built up through words between the writer and the reader. When we read a poem, we often imagine what the poet was thinking when they wrote it, or what they were doing at the time. These thoughts let us connect with the words better, as if we’d written the poem ourselves.

But in the age of artificial intelligence (AI，人工智能), would a poem still mean as much if it weren’t written by a human at all? Today, computers can create all kinds of texts, including research papers, books, news stories and even poems.

In 2013, Australian researcher Oscar Schwartz and his friend Benjamin Laird created a website called “bot or not”, where readers can read poems and guess whether they were written by a human or a computer. During a recent speech at TedX Sydney, Schwartz said that all over the years, some of the website’s poems were able to fool（欺骗）65 percent of human readers into thinking they were written by a human.

By creating the website, Schwartz and Laird hoped that people would doubt the difference between humans and machines – and be able to tell what makes us human.

“The human mind is not a cold, hard fact,” Schwartz said during his speech. A computer may be able to create poems that are correct in both grammar and style, but it wouldn’t be able to get the same meanings and feelings across as a human poet could. In fact, now AI software creates poems based on ones that have already been written by humans. As Schwartz noted, “The computer works like a mirror that reflects (反映) any idea of a human.”

【1】The purpose of the first three paragraphs is to ___________.

A．introduce where World Poetry Day comes from.

B．show how popular poetry is around the world.

C．show the importance and beauty of poetry.

D．give some tips on enjoying poetry.

【2】What did the data（数据）from “bot or not” show?

A．Computers are better than humans at writing poetry.

B．Computers can also produce poems of high quality.

C．Readers don’t really care whether the poems were written by humans.

D．Few readers can tell poems written by computers from those by humans.

【3】According to the article, computers can’t match humans in creating poems because they_____.

A．fail to use the correct grammar and style

B．can’t create poems that are meaningful

C．can’t show feelings as well as humans

D．only know how to follow humans’ poems

28、Can plants eat people? Probably not, but【1】are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big. And they can eat small 【2】. One famous meat-eating plant is Venus Flytrap (捕蝇草).

Venus Flytrap is【3】very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its【4】

are like the pages of a book.They can open and close very【5】. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs.If a fly touches one of the hairs, the leaf【6】quickly，so the fly cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses the fly【7】it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly and slowly eats it.

Why do plants do that? Most plants get what they need【8】the sun, the air, and the ground. In some places, the ground is very【9】. It doesn’t have all these important things, especially nitrogen(氮). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen,so some plants eat meat to get what they【10】. Let’s hope that bigger plants don’t get the same idea!

29、   Stephen Glenn is a famous scientist who has made great medical development. When ______why he was so much more creative than the normal person, he replied that it all came from an experience with his mom. At 2, he was trying to take a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he ______ his hold on the smooth bottle and it fell, spilling (洒) the milk all over the kitchen floor!
