　　【广东省惠州市2024届高三上学期第三次调研】In New York City public schools, 176 different languages are spoken among the more than 1 million students. For 160,000 children, English is not their first language. New York's Department of Education makes learning better for these students by providing dual-language programs, in which students are taught in two languages, English and another one, like Russian or Chinese. Math, social studies, science and all other regular courses are taught in both languages. And they learn about the culture of the other country.

　　Milady Baez, Deputy Chancellor of English Language Learners and Student Support, says these dual-language programs will help children succeed in the future. "The jobs of the future require that our students know more than one language. They are going to be traveling abroad; they are going to be communicating with people from all over the world. This will open doors for them."

　　Middle-schoolers might not have jobs on their minds yet. For Kequing Jaing, she likes keeping up her first language, Mandarin."It makes me feel that I am home because I can speak in Chinese, learn in Chinese, while learning in English. So it makes me feel better and makes me understand more about the task I'm learning."

　　Anastasia Hudikova came to the United States when she was 2 years old. She says the Russian-English program keeps her connected to her heritage and her parents happy."They're really happy about the program. They are really happy that I can preserve my culture and my language, and that I can speak it fluently in school."

　　The New York schools also offer dual-language programs in seven other languages: Arabic, French, Haitian Creole, Hebrew, Korean, Polish and Spanish. There are plans to add even more languages in the future.

　　While these dual-language programs are popular, some organizations in the U.S. say teaching English comes first. U.S. Studies show that children who learn English early will be more successful later.

　　Dual-language programs in New York aim to __________.

　　A. help the students learn better

　　B. rid the students of homesickness

　　C. attract more international students

　　D.prevent the students forgetting their culture

　　Who may not quite agree with dual-language programs?

　　A. Milady Baez

　　B. Kequing Jaing

　　C. Anastasia Hudikova’s parents

　　D. some organizations in the U.S

　　3. The author writes the passage in order to_________.

　　A. encourage us to learn more languages

　　B. introduce dual-language programs in New York schools

　　C. advertise the dual-language programs

　　D. inspire more students to study in New York

　　【广东省惠州市2024届高三上学期第三次调研】Writing one or two articles a day is a fair goal for a human writer. By contrast, the Wordsmith platform can produce up to 2,000 articles a second! Wordsmith is one example of natural language-generation software, often referred to as a robot journalist. To be fair, the software doesn’t start from the beginning, like a human writer might. Instead, the software takes a set of structured data and transforms it into readable text.

　　Natural language-generation software, such as Wordsmith and Quill, does its work by identifying trends and highlights in sets of data. The software then searches its own dictionary for the words to express its findings.

　　Why keep human writers around

　　Although this type of software writes faster than any human, it requires sets of structured data to work. That’s why it’s especially useful for writing earnings reports and other types of “dry” writing. Humans, on the other hand, are good at turning their unstructured thoughts directly into prose. The reports produced by Wordsmith and Quill read naturally, and they can match the tone of human writers. But for now, the robot journalists probably won’t steal many jobs or win any Pulitzer Prizes!（普利策奖）

　　Current applications of natural language-generation software

　　Financial reports: The software is commonly used by banks or traders to analyze large amounts of financial data and then produce reports in plain English.

　　Health and fitness: The software can turn data gathered from wearable devices or fitness trackers into personalized reports. The writing tone can even be adjusted to sound more encouraging!

　　Sports reporting: The software is often used to turn real baseball, basketball and football statistics into exciting stories.

　　4. What does natural Language-generation software refer to?

　　A. The Wordsmith platform.

　　B. A robot journalist.

　　C. A special dictionary.

　　D. Articles written by computer.

　　5. Natural language-generation software can_________.

　　A. discover the world’s focuses through the Internet

　　B. write well enough to win Pulitzer Prizes

　　C. produce articles in a tone similar to human’s

　　D. write such beautiful prose as human writers

　　6. We can learn from the passage that natural Language-generation software

　　________.

　　A. has taken the place of human writers currently

　　B. is only able to turn structured data into dry reports

　　C. is widely used in all the fields

　　D. works properly only with the help of sets of structured data

　　7. Nowadays Natural language-generation software is seldom used by_________.

　　A. schools

　　B. banks

　　C. hospitals

　　D. newspapers

　　【四川省资阳市2024届高三上学期第二次诊断】Of the several films Hirokazu has made about childhood and children, this one is the most modest, but no less pleasing for its delicate style and small setting. This wise and funny film works small miracles in describing such a moment when kids turn from the wishfulness of childhood into shaping the world for themselves.

　　The sweetly reflective hero, a sixth-grader named Koichi, starts out by wishing for a volcano to erupt. Not just any volcano, but the one that towers above his town, smoking heavily and giving off ash. An eruption would lead to a withdrawing, which would lead, at least in his mind, to a reunion with his father and kid brother, who’ve been living in Hakata while Koichi lives with his mother and retired grandparents in Kagoshima. The volcano, knowing nothing of this, refuses to erupt, but Koichi hears of another approach to realizing the desired miracle.

　　One of the pleasures of I Wish is watching how kids behave — how Koichi attacks his dinner, for example. Another pleasure is rediscovering how kids think. These kids can be logical and ever so tricky. But children’s thought processes can also be fancy. A boy wishes he could play baseball like one of baseball stars, who eats curry for breakfast; so he, too, starts eating curry for breakfast, instead of practicing on the field. Another boy tries to wish his dead dog, Marble, back to life. And what does Koichi finally wish for? I wish you’d see this delightful film to find out.

　　8.

　　Koichi wishes the volcano to erupt so that he can ______.

　　A. enjoy the wonderful scene of a volcano

　　B. help those who suffer from the eruption

　　C. get together with his family members

　　D. work miracles during the disaster

　　9. Which of the following statements is true of the film?

　　A. It is set in a volcano eruption.

　　B. It is a serious science fiction movie.

　　C. It shows some dull and ridiculous behaviors.

　　D. It shows a lively and thoughtful world of children.

　　10. What does the writer intend to do in this text?

　　A. To recommend a film.

　　B. To make a review on a film.

　　C. To share pleasures of watching a film.

　　D. To discuss kids’ behavior and thoughts.
