It is a great privilege for me to deliver a speech here. When it comes to my hero, the first name popping into my head is Yuan Longping, Father of Hybrid Rice.
What inspires me most is his perseverance. Dr. Yuan initially found it hard to study the new rice under the tough condition in 1950s, but he still devoted his youth to it. And even at the age of 90, he strove to extend his research to sea rice. Such spirit constantly stimulates me to keep moving, regardless of how many exams I failed.
Thanks for your attention! 第二節(jié) 讀后續(xù)寫(xiě) (滿(mǎn)分 25 分)
I walked towards Mrs. Cleary’s house hurriedly and knocked at the door angrily. The moment she opened the door, I asked Mrs. Cleary with watery eyes, “Why is my cat in your
window ” Confused, Mrs. Cleary responded, “I didn’t know he was yours. I just thought he was another abandoned cat, so I took him in just like I took in all the rest. If what I did has hurt you, I am awfully sorry.” Then she led me directly to the sitting room, where cats were playing happily.
Upon seeing me, Ink Spot jumped off the window, running towards me in a flash. A flood of excitement passed through my body. I immediately picked him up and held him close as he rubbed beneath my chin purring loudly. Seeing my cat well taken care of, I realized I had misunderstood my caring neighbor. Now my anger gave way to gratitude. I thanked her again and again before I took Ink Spot to my home, where I thought he should belong. The lost and found companion made me feel I was someone again.惠州中學(xué) 2023 級(jí)高二年級(jí)上學(xué)期期中考試 英語(yǔ)科試卷

The “Got Talent” crew is one of the pioneers in finding and publicizing music talent and has been giving the world some of its most favorite artists for almost two decades. In 2023, “Britain’s Got Talent” (BGT) uncovered a musical genius named Malakai Bayoh who impressed the audience with perfect high-note singing.
The London-based 13-year-old boy appeared for the show’s audition ( 海 選 ) in April, 2023 and was accompanied by his mom and sister. “My big dream is to be an opera singer. I started singing at 7,” said Malakai to the BGT team. He then added jokingly, “My mom made me join the choir because she’s very bossy.” The teenager mentioned she was his biggest fan.
Malakai’s mom was worried as he was about to perform and said, “It scares me because, on his first show, somebody heckled (對(duì)……起哄) him. It was sad to see someone boo a child on stage because it might destroy his confidence completely.” Contrary to his mom’s fear, Malakai set the stage on fire singing a beautiful song and the entire crowd was impressed by his amazing voice. As he ended his song, the audience and the judges gave him a big round of applause. The performance won him Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer, sending him straight to the semi-finals of the show.
The other judges called Malakai’s performance “perfect” and “heavenly” . His angelic voice blew the audience away and the judges thanked the teen for coming to the show. Malakai went on to become one of the finalists of the show and signed a record deal with Universal Music.
Malakai’s audition at the BGT went viral on social media, “I’m a trained singer, and a music teacher by profession, and sang this song as a young performer myself. I can say with absolute certainty this is the best I’ve ever heard this song sung, with proper technique and proper breathing. This boy is a gifted singer,” @mayacorinne878 posted.
24. What made Malakai’s mom feel worried
A. The judge’s expression. B. Her son’s performance on stage.
C. A bad experience. D. Her son’s difficulty in singing in public. 25. What does the phrase “set the stage on fire” in paragraph 3 imply about Malakai’s performance A. He accidentally caused a literal fire during his performance.
B. His performance was extremely passionate and energetic.
C. His performance received the lowest rating possible.
D. He refused to perform unless certain conditions were met.
26. What can be inferred about Malakai’s talent
A. He has average talent but is well-received due to his age.
B. He has exceptional talent that is recognized by both professionals and the public. C. He has talent, but his performance was not enough to send him to the semi-finals. D. He lacks talent, but his story touched the hearts of the audience.

For adults who have struggled with understanding new math homework or surprised at how quickly kids can learn a second language, there is new evidence that shows kids can really learn things much faster than adults.
A study published in Current Biology finds that children and adults have different concentrations of a key brain messenger called gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA. This messenger slows down the brain by blocking specific signals in the body’s central nervous system. It also produces a calming effect and is thought to play a major role in controlling the overactivity of nerve cells associated with anxiety, stress and fear. All these contribute to the learning of new things.
In the study, the researchers from Brown University used neuro-imaging techniques to examine visual perceptive ( 視 覺(jué) 感 知 的 ) learning in elementary school-aged children and adults. Participants were shown a number of different images and were later asked questions about them following the test.
Visual learning caused an increase of GABA in children’s visual cortex( 皮 層 ), the area of the brain that processes visual information. However, GABA levels didn’t change in the adults who took the same visual tests. In addition, children participants kept that GABA increase for hours after training ended, while the concentrations of GABA remained the same in the adults studied.
“In subsequent behavioral experiments, we found that children indeed learn more items within a given period of time than adults.” said Sebastian M. Frank, the co-author of the study. “Our results therefore point to GABA as a key player in making learning more efficient in children.”
These results, the authors argue, should encourage teachers and parents to keep giving children opportunities to learn anything from riding a bike to playing an instrument throughout their childhood.
The findings may also change neuro-scientists ’ conception of brain maturity in children. “Although children’s brains are not yet fully mature and many of their behavioral and cognitive functions are not as efficient as in adults, children are not, in general, surpassed in their learning abilities by adults,” said study co-author Takeo Watanabe.
28. What’s the function of GABA
A. Send specific messages to the brain. B. Deal with complex math problems.
C. Make the nervous system more active. D. Increase efficiency in learning new things.
29. What do we know about the children taking the visual test A. Their GABA concentrations kept increasing after training. B. Their learning abilities still needed to be improved.
C. They could remember more images than adults.
D. They were surpassed by adults in learning abilities.
30. How did the researchers do the research
A. By comparing participants ’ reaction. B. By analyzing statistics.
C. By collecting relative evidence. D. By conducting online survey.
31. What does Takeo Watanabe want to say in the last paragraph
A. Neuro-scientists don’t fully understand brain maturity in children. B. Children are not mature in their behavior and cognition.
C. It takes a long time for children’s brains to be fully mature.
D. Children’s brain maturity does not affect their learning abilities.
D
Artificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, Open AI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while faithfully following your content instructions.
Sora is said to be superior to many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios ( 屏幕高寬比) for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests.
Aside from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is astonishing. Sora can create detailed scenes with several characters, specific types of motion, and accurate subject and background details. Beyond the user’s requests, it also understands how these elements exist in the real world. For example, reflections in the water change as a woman walks by.
Sora’s amazing performance wouldn’t be possible without its helpful assistant, ChatGPT, which transforms simple sentences into detailed descriptions, improving the accuracy of output.
However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order. One possible reason is that Sora learns each basic unit of a video, known as a spacetime patch (時(shí)空補(bǔ)丁), independently.
Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system, aiming to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will assist OpenAI in enhancing the model to better serve creative professionals.
32. What is the main focus of paragraph 2 and 3
A. Sora’s development. B. Sora’s diversity.
C. Sora’s capabilities. D. Sora’s popularity.
33. Why does the author provide the example in paragraph 5
A. To highlight Sora’s potential safety risks. B. To illustrate Sora’s existing limitations.
C. To showcase Sora’s perfect performance. D. To explain the concept of a spacetime patch.
34. What can we know about Sora up to now
A. It has been made available to various industries. B. Its commercial release has been called off.
C. It has exposed alarming security issues. D. It is undergoing testing and improvement.
35. What’s the best title for the text
A. Sora: Lead the way in creating videos. B. Sora: Surpass existing ChatGPT.
C. Sora:Generate a rich variety of videos. D. Sora:A perfect text-to-video AI model.

Being a good friend isn’t always easy. Nevertheless, taking the time to develop a lasting friendship is worth every ounce of effort. 36 Here are a few things you can do to be a good friend to others.
Make time for each other
37 The mark of a good friend is someone who makes time for you and makes spending time with you a priority. A good friend will also look for opportunities to maximize the time you have together by seeking fun and unique experiences that strengthen and maintain your bond.
Open up and allow each other to be vulnerable
A good friend is someone genuine, someone with whom you can be yourself and they can be themselves around you. A good friend allows you to be vulnerable(脆弱的) with them and vice versa, meaning you can expose your emotions and circumstances with each other and trust one another to listen, be supportive, and have each other’s best interests at heart. 38 If your friend hurt you, don’t be afraid to talk about it.
39
It is one of the most important aspects of being a good friend. Your friend will need you for support, especially in hard times. Nobody wants to be friends with someone who actually isn’t interested in them. It’s hard to rely on a person who doesn’t behave in a trustworthy way. We all know well-intentioned people who say, “Okay, I will...” but never follow through. If that’s you, be aware that you’re destroying your friends ’ trust. Eventually, they’ll stop believing what you say.
Apologize when you’ve made a mistake
If you want your friends to trust you, then you can’t act like you’re perfect. If you know you’ve made a mistake, own up to it instead of denying. Though your friends won’t be happy that you made a mistake, they’ll be
very pleased that you’re mature enough to admit it instead of just pretending that nothing is wrong, or worse—blaming it on someone else. 40 Let your friends hear the sincerity in your voice.
A. Be dependable.
B. Be a good listener.
C. When you do so, you should mean it.
D. A good friend is willing to stick their neck out on behalf of their friends. E. It will contribute to direct lines of communication between both of you. F. Friendships grow through shared experiences and quality time together.
G. Because good friendships provide a sense of belonging and security, knowing you are loved.

“Mom!” I screamed as I looked through the window, “Why is my Ink Spot sitting in Mrs. Cleary’s window ” Mom pushed past me to confirm it. Sure enough, across the street was Ink Spot cleaning himself in the window of Mrs. Cleary’s sitting room. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was my cat, not Mrs. Cleary’s.
She had already adopted twelve cats. Why must she keep my cat I could feel anger boiling up inside me. Meanwhile, Ink Spot’s leaving without any signs upset me. A sense of being left out hit me hard.
Ink Spot was special for me. After my baby sister’s birth, “my” parents ’ time was taken by her. It seemed no one in the family cared about or even noticed me. Worse still, I was packed off to a kindergarten. I hated being left out from the bottom of my heart.
It was when mom noticed me weeping in a corner one night that things began to change. After that, Ink Spot came into my life. Every night, he curled(卷曲)up beside me in bed and he was there for me after school when I raced home just to be with him.
I fell in love with Ink Spot the first time I saw its tiny black and white kitten, for which I called him Ink Spot. Mom and daddy beamed with pleasure as my eyes danced with joy again. It was the first time that I had smiled since my little baby sister came into the family. As for me, he was more than a cat. Actually, he was my life.
But today when I came home, Ink Spot was in Mrs. Cleary’s window. I wanted him back. But mom insisted that if Ink Spot stayed at Mrs. Cleary’s, that meant it was where he wanted to be. “No! Mom, Ink Spot is my cat”, I protested wildly but I had to admit the truth of mom’s words. Standing on the sidewalk, I was at a loss as to what to do. Staring at Ink Spot for a while, I couldn’t stand the anger any longer.
注意：1.續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為 150 左右；
