But I was born with a cleft lip (唇裂). I dont remember anything about my first years with my cleft lip. All I know is that when I was young, my parents found Fundación Gantz in Santiago, where I had been for free treatment. Every time when I went to Fundación Gantz, my heart was full of thanks to my parents. It was not easy to arrive on time for medical examination. We had to get up at six in the morning to drive for more than an hour and be careful not to get hit by other cars, but my parents never complained about such busy and tiring days. Doctors at Fundación Gantz helped me a lot. First, they healed my cleft lip. Then, with orthodontic treatment (正畸治疗), they managed to correct my bite, and later they performed an operation on my jawbone. I thank the doctors there who treated me, and Dr. Angus is my favorite he has known me since I was born. When I was in the waiting room waiting for my operation on my jawbone, I was sweating all over in fear. Dr. Angus came to my side and talked to me endlessly about the things I was interested in, such as Kayros music and Bolanos books, making me feel relaxed. In the past, before the treatment, I had no confidence, and children made jokes on my cleft lip at school. I started training in Taekwondo (跆拳道) at the age of four in a gym next to my kindergarten and it was just what I needed at that time. It changed me and the children around me before, children played tricks on me, but later they respected me. Today, when people talk about something on my lip, I will tell them the little mark never bothers me because it is so small that it can hardly be seen. I want to tell the medical experts at Gantz to keep it up because their work is admirable, and they help a lot of people in need.24. Which of the following can best describe the authors parents?A. Selfless.B. Impatient.C. Fair.D. Outgoing.25. How did Dr. Angus help the author reduce her fear of the operation?A. He read to her.B. He talked about interesting things with her.C. He played music for her.D. He changed her operation plan.26. How did Taekwondo change the 4-year-old author?A. It made her school time colorful.B. It built her confidence.C. It improved her school performances.D. It prepared her for her future career.27. What does the underlined word “something” refer to in paragraph 6?A. The color.B. The cost.C. The operation.D. The mark.CThe return of sports during the pandemic (大流行病) has been one of the fewest saviors for many people over the last year. It offers a sense of hope that one day, things will return to some sort of normality. The same is true in the world of esports (电子竞技), an industry that has played some of its biggest and most great games behind closed doors over the past 12 months.René Romann is a huge fan of Team Liquid, a leading worldwide professional esports organization. “Following my favorite organization has provided relief during such difficult times. Its interesting to see this online family, this Liquid family, and how we can help each other in certain situations, especially in this pandemic,” Romann told CNN Sport. Studies show the number of esports fans rose rapidly and, with everyone stuck indoors due to the lockdown (封控), TV viewers increased again. “Keeping fans attracted is important for an organization like Team Liquid, which says its supporters are at the heart of everything it does,” Team Liquids CEO, Steve Arhancet, said. His team regularly sent handwritten letters and called fans over the phone in order to encourage that community feeling. It was something that he said had been extra important during such tough times. “When youre able to provide that kind of care and consideration for a family member or a friend or someone that you just care about, why is it different for a relationship between the sports team and its fans? It should be the same,” Arhancet told CNN Sport, “I think a lot of other teams take it for granted. They just assume that fans could just watch the content and thats enough. It isnt. Sports teams have to care, to listen and to remember. ”28. What does René Romann think of Team Liquid? A. It is rich.B. It is large.C. It is helpful.D. It is small.29. What is the most important for an esports organization according to Arhancet?A. Its supporters.B. Its equipment.C. Its members skills.D. Its size.30. How did Team Liquid give its fans a sense of community?A. By changing its game rules.B. By providing difficult contents.C. By keeping in close contact with them.D. By helping look after their family members.31. Which is the most suitable title for the text?A. How Team Liquid Became ProfessionalB. What Role Team Liquid Played in EsportsC. Why Sports Returned to Daily Life During LockdownD. How Team Liquid Made a Difference During the PandemicDWe always hear that texting which refers to the communicative practice of sending brief messages on cell phones or other personal digital devices, is a disaster. The idea is that texting leads to the fall of writing ability among young people because it is full of informal language. As a matter of fact, it isnt true. In order to see that texting is actually a whole new way of writing that young people are developing, we have to look at what language really is. Basically, if we think about language, it has existed(存在)for centuries, and it appears as speech. W. talked. Thats what were probably genetically determined. Thats how we use language most. Writing is something that came along much later. But writing has its advantage, When you write, you can make the content smooth, colorful and elegant with language, which is much less likely if youre just talking. It is because writing is a conscious(有意识的)process and you can look backwards. Informal speech is something quite different. Linguists have actually shown that when were speaking informally in an unmonitored way, we tend to speak in words 7 to 10 as a group. Youll notice this if you ever have an occasion for recording yourself or a group of people talking. Thats what speech is like. Speech is much looser and less reflective(反思的)-very different from writing. Texting is a new way of writing, because texters use writing skills before texting. People will process information in more creative uses of language during texting. When they use informal language in their texts, many understand there are different communicative situations. They try shortening language for correct spelling of a word or a phrase. Texting also allows texters much time to form their thoughts and provides many opportunities for them to revise their ideas Moreover, texting positively exercises texters rhetorical(修醇的)skills. Since texts are written in various styles, people must know how to match the style of a text with its message. Now we have an overall understanding of texting.32. How does writing differ from speech?A. It came before talking.B. It is an unconscious process.C. Its style is less strict.D. It can be improved again and again.33. What does the underlined word “looser” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Stricter.B. Richer.C. Freer.D. Harder.34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. What is speech exactly.B. How texters learn to write.C. How texters send message successfully.D. The relationship between writing and texting.35. Which statement about texting does the author agree with?A It is another form of writing.B. It is less reflective.C. It is the same as speaking.D. It is a disaster.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)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。ChatGPT, OpenAIs latest language model, has been on the minds of many of us recently.
