“Look! Letters from Leo! Granny will be excited!” Mom said．

Andy turned toward his mother． “Leo?”

“Granny’s oldest and favorite brother． He made her that special box that sits beside the window — locked up． The key’s been lost forever． Now about those letters．．． Granny will want them．”

Andy picked that special box and letters up, then took them to the kitchen． “What did you put in the box, Granny?” Andy asked．

“Nothing! I knew Leo would be joining the army soon． Just before he left, he locked my box and hid the key． He said he’d invented a word game for me and promised he’d send clues． We got letters but not one clue． Leo’s final letter arrived after we heard the heartbreaking news． Mother was so sad． She tore (撕) it in half．”

Granny watched Andy spread the letters on the table． She whispered, “I always thought mother threw away all of Leo’s letters．”

Andy pointed at one letter in two pieces． “This must be the last letter Leo sent home．”

Granny picked up one half of the letter, and read, “Dearest Littlest Sister．．．”

“Leo did send clues． Let’s tape the halves together．” Andy said

Andy read, “Ewe reed four make?”

“Nonsense words,” Granny said．

Andy looked at the paper, then said, “Wait! If we read down, instead of across — in columns (列), not rows．” He read the words one by one “You need to read this aloud for it to make some sense．”

Granny’s eyes opened wide． “Leo was using homophones (同音异形词)!”

She began to read, “Go to the room where we ate． See the flower like the sun?”

Granny smiled． “The dining room is where we ate． The painting of a sunflower．．．”

Andy was on his way． In a few seconds, he returned, carrying the painting． They discovered another clue printed in light pencil on the back． Andy read, “Look above the hole where rain does not come down． See the broken time piece? There! Inside!”

He ran to the fireplace then gave the clock to Granny． “This clock has never kept time．” Granny opened the clock’s tiny glass door and reached inside． “All those years． It’s been right here．” She opened the box with the key and looked into it．

There is a photo of a girl and her big brother． On the back of the photo was printed: I NEW you’d worked it out． Use this box for all your special treasures． Love, Leo．

Granny gently placed the photo and the letters inside the box． “My treasures,” she said．

31． How may the underlined words “see the flower like the sun” be shown in the letter?

32． When Granny said “Nonsense words”, she most probably felt _________．

A． curious B． worried C． hopeless        D． confident

On Feb． 15, a new video model called Sora promises to create a video up to a minute long from a short text description． Just tell Sora your idea, and watch it make a video right before your eyes． Sora is described as “eye-popping”, “world-changing”, and “breathtaking, yet scaring．”

The videos from OpenAI’s Sora are full of details． One video of a Tokyo street scene shows that Sora has learned how objects fit together in 3-D: the camera goes into the scene to follow a couple as they walk past a row of shops． Sora knows how things should look in real life．

Sora looks at many videos and learns from them by breaking them into very small bits． It uses these bits to make a new video． The new video is grey at first and very messy． Then, Sora fixes the video until it looks good and smooth． Sora also gets help from ChatGPT, which turns the user’s short sentences into clear instructions． This helps Sora make the video just as you asked．

Sora may find “busy” pictures hard to understand． For example, when a person moves, things around them change． In one video created by Sora, a grandma blows the candle on a birthday cake, but the flame (火焰) doesn’t move． Sora may not be able to tell “left” from “right”．

OpenAI also says that Sora deals with occlusion well． But one problem is that they fail to follow objects when they are out of sight． For example, if a truck passes in front of a street sign, the sign might not reappear afterward．

In a video of a papercraft underwater scene, Sora has added what looks like cuts between different pieces of footage (镜头), and the model has kept the same style between them． But it’s not perfect． In the Tokyo video, cars to the left look smaller than the people walking beside them． They also pop (突然出现) in and out between the trees． “There’s some work to be done,” says Brooks． “For example, if someone goes out of view for a long time, they won’t come back．”

“Sora seems like a very important leap forward,” says Sam Gregory, a human rights organization that specializes in the use and misuse of video technology． “But there are two sides of the coin,” he says． “The meaningful abilities help many more people to be storytellers using video． And there are also possibilities for misuse．”

OpenAI has also realized the risks that come with a video model． The OpenAI team plans to draw on the safety testing． “We’ll need to get more feedback (反馈) and learn more about the types of risks that need to be solved with video before it would make sense for us to put Sora into use,” says Ramesh．

34． Which of the following words has the closest meaning to “occlusion”?

A． being seen     B． being followed      C． being covered       D． being dropped

35． The following sentence would best be placed at the end of _________．

Perhaps it will be an imagination tool or a misinformation machine．

A． Paragraph 4   B． Paragraph 3   C． Paragraph 2   D． Paragraph 1

36． The next part of the passage may be about _________．

A． the safety testing          B． the misuse of Sora

C． two sides of Sora         D． another video model

37． What can most possibly be the writer’s real purpose?

A． To encourage us to use Sora to make short videos．

B． To explain to us how to use Sora to create short videos．

C． To remind us to care about the problems and risks Sora has．

D． To introduce what advantages Sora will bring to our daily life．

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

On a hot sunny day, who would say no to a sweet, ice-cold ice cream? It would be an exciting treat to find out who invented ice cream．

The first kind of ice cream was made in China almost three thousand years ago． It was a mixture of snow, milk and rice． From China, the recipe (食谱) was spread to Europe． The Emperor Nero of Rome enjoyed a frozen dessert (甜点) that was a mixture of snow, honey and fruits．

In Asia, the Mughal Emperors required their horsemen to bring snow from the mountains to Delhi (Delhi can get very hot!) The ice was mixed with flavours (香料) and was then used in fruit sorbets (冰糕)．

When the Italian Catherine de Medici married Henry II of France, she brought flavoured sorbet recipes to France． Her Italian cook created different flavour fruit ice for each day of the wedding celebrations．

Ice cream arrived in England from France． King Charles II, built an ice house in the centre of London and was the first British king who is known to have eaten ice cream． Until the 1800’s ice cream remained a delicious dessert enjoyed only by the rich．

Ice cream came to America from Europe． In 1832, White House cook Augustus Jackson found out how to put ice cream in cans to send to ice-cream stores． He was named the ‘Father of Ice Cream’．

Technological development made ice cream production possible． In 1843, the ice cream machine was spread to England and America． This was made from a wooden box filled with ice and salt．

Today there are so many different flavours of ice cream． You can name any flavour and there will be an ice cream of it． The most popular flavours are chocolate and strawberry．
