2．I have a friend who found a wallet and through a series of amazing circumstances found the owner who was part of a migrant group from Jamaica who came to the United States to pick apples.The way she found him and what happened next were truly miraculous.
One day recently，Laurie Fen by，was shopping at a garage sale in Rochester，New York and as she was leaving，she found a wallet on the ground.She looked inside and found a Jamaican driver's license，some American cash and some Jamaican cash.She tried all the usual ways to locate the man，whose name was George.
She couldn't find him through Google or Face book and then she asked for suggestions through Next-door，a community website.Laurie received a lot of ideas and responses—some of them not so positive.But one lady suggested that she contact a little store that is known to have many Jamaican migrant workers as clients.Laurie called the store and found that yes，indeed，there was someone named George who lost his wallet.
She suggested that the owner contact George and have him call her.When George contacted her，he was able to identify all the con-tents of the wallet and Laurie returned it.
But it didn't stop there.Laurie asked George， "What do you and the migrant workers need？" He said they needed some warm clothes.Laurie immediately contacted the next-door community and organized a clothing drive.She received lots of T-shirts，sweatshirts，shoes and other supplies.

3．If you mention "voice technology"，most people think of Alexia，Sari or Crotona.While personal artificial intelligence （AI） assistants are becoming increasingly popular in our everyday lives，they are just one use of voice tech—and are primarily designed for adults.
Irish tech company Soapbox Labs wants that to change.The company has developed speech recognition technology designed specifically for children，and it's already in use across a range of applications，from toys to education apps.
Children's voices differ from those of adults. "Typically，they have a higher pitch （音高） or use different language or speech patterns，which regular voice technology cannot al-ways pick up on，" explains Patricia Scanlon，Soapbox's founder. "It's understandable that an industry that has spent decades working on technology and only focusing on adults runs into a fairly significant problem when they try to apply it to children."
Rather than making slight changes to the available voice technology already on the market，Soapbox built its voice engine from scratch—focusing on children aged 2 to 12.The company says it created a data set to train its AI system，made up of thousands of hours of children's speech collected in real-world noisy environments—kitchens，class-rooms and cars—from kids of all ages，accents and dialects （方言），from a total of 192 countries.
This opens up a whole new market，for which there's a growing demand.More than 8 billion digital voice assistants are expected to be in use by 2024，up from 4 billion in 2020，and there is an increased focus on adapting the tech for children.
Soapbox，which is selling a technology rather than a product，has attracted more than 50 clients from around the world.The technology can help a child learn to read or learn a language.It acts as a helpful adult，reacting immediately to the child and giving them one-on-one time，and it can also help to record a child's progress and provide feedback （反饋） to a teacher or parents.The technology is also being used by toy developers and gaming companies that want to create voice-enabled toys that can chat to the child，or virtual reality experiences.
（1）What makes Soapbox different from Crotona？
A．Its use of voice tech.
B．Its creative use of AI.
C．Its being aimed at children.
D．Its wide range of applications.
（2）What does Patricia Scanlon imply in paragraph 3？
A．A lot of effort has gone into developing Soapbox.
B．Voice technology has much room for development.
C．There has been a great demand for a system like Soapbox.
D．Soapbox understands adults' voices better than that of children's.
（3）What did Soapbox use to build its voice engine？
A．Recordings of 192 dialects.
B．Data from a previous system.
C．Speech from people of all ages.
D．Re-recorded children's speech.
（4）Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "clients" in the last paragraph？
A．Markets.
B．Customers.
C．AI assistants.
D．Tech companies.組卷：5引用：1難度：0.6

9．"Number 7，Jodie Nimble，takes the lead，" cried the announcer. "Just one more hurdle （跨欄） and Jodie Nimble from Riverside Middle School takes first place in the girls' 100？meter hurdles！"
"County championships，here we come，" yelled Jodie，patting （輕拍） her worn green track spikes （釘鞋）.They were her lucky shoes and she loved them. "Next Saturday，we're taking the gold home，" Jodie whispered to her spikes.
"Don't forget，guys，" said Marisol，one of her teammates. "My birthday party is next Friday at Hidden Park.You should all come."
The day of Marisol's party came.Jodie put on her favorite clothes：her blue shorts，an old track T-shirt，and her lucky spikes.The party had begun when Jodie arrived at Hidden Park.She stopped by the track first，planning to do some running exercise.Even at that end of the park，music and the smell of grilled food filled the air.
Two of Jodie's teammates rushed toward her，breathless and barefoot. "Come on，" they shouted. "You have to try the slide." Jodie's eyes shot at the party area. "Slide？What sly...？"
Suddenly，she saw it.The biggest inflatable （需充氣的） slide she had ever seen was on the far side of the park.Smiling kids zoomed down the slide at an unspeakable speed.
Without thinking twice，Jodie threw off her spikes and ran fast toward the slide.Its ladder rose to the sky，but she reached the top in no time.She slid down，sped to the edge，and closed her eyes as she let go.Jodie couldn't get enough fun from the slide.
When it was time to go home finally，she unwillingly made her way back to the track where she'd left her shoes.As she eyed the area from a distance，panic set in.When Jodie picked up the pace，the closer she got，the faster her heart beat.When she reached the place where she'd left them，her heart stopped.
"They're gone！" she screamed. "My lucky spikes are gone." Jodie's teammates helped her search the park.No lucky spikes. "So long，gold，" Jodie groaned （嘆息）.
注意：續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。

The next day，the best track teams in the county gathered at Hidden Park for the championships._________
