In January, 2021, the life of the 17-year-old high school student Mason Branstator took an unexpected turn. Skiing down a hill he had been on countless times, he hit a jump too fast. When waking up in the intensive care unit, he learned from the doctor he was left with a severely broken back, which would significantly impact his lower body functions.
Despite being told that he might never walk again, Mason’s unbending optimism and determination have fueled his extraordinary journey of recovery and self-discovery. Following his accident, Mason entered a health recovery center at Craig Hospital, Colorado. There he was surrounded by others on similar paths, which, coupled with his positive outlook, played a crucial role in his recovery. Mason’s journey was not just about regaining physical strength but also about overcoming mental barriers. Through willpower, he began to walk again, proving that the impossible could be made possible.
Mason’s newfound viewpoint on life led him to try activities that he once thought were beyond his reach. From surfing and rock climbing to competing in triathlons, he rediscovered parts of himself. He documented his adventures online, which ended up as a source of inspiration for millions worldwide.
“It all started with me just wanting to find more people like me I could connect with and talk through all the hard things I was going through,” said Mason. “And it turned into what inspired millions of people around the world, an incredible thing—I didn’t even intend for it to.”
Mason’s story strikes the heartstrings of people, not merely for the physical goals he has achieved but for the message of hope and determination he represents. He challenges what it means to live with a disability and redefines the boundaries of what is possible, inspiring millions to do the same. Alongside the communities he has built online, and the one he already has—his supportive family, he has no intention of slowing down.
4 What was the turning point in Mason’s life?
A. His sightseeing tour. B. His first attempt at skiing.
C. A sports-related accident. D. A chance encounter with a doctor.
5. What matters most for Mason’s recovery apart from his positive outlook?
A. The comfort from his family. B. The company of those like him.
C. Donations from kind-hearted people. D. Advanced medical instruments.
6. What was Mason’s initial intention of sharing his story online?
A. To appeal for more attention. B. To showcase his survival skills.
C. To motivate like-minded souls. D. To seek connection and understanding.
7. What can we learn from Mason’s story?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Better late than never.
C. Action speaks louder than words. D. Where there’s a will, there is a way.

Jumbo Supermarket is tackling shoplifting by laying hands on new technology: Artificial .Intelligence (AI). Smart cameras, equipped with software from French company Veesion, detect questionable behaviour and help report thieving from shops. With 100 million euros lost to shoplifters last year, Jumbo is starting a trial in its own shops this week.
The smart AI technology uses complicated software connected to the existing cameras and security network through the Internet, It then automatically monitors all the cameras at the same time for potential shopping activity. The technology is not faultless, but it significantly increases the chances of being caught. When a customer puts a product in his pocket or bag, the smart camera notices and reports it. This ensures that shoplifters can be caught in the act.
At Jumbo’s supermarket in Hengelo, Netherlands, 47 cameras have been fitted. AI is also being applied at other Jumbo locations. The cameras are strategically placed to identify questionable behaviour as effectively as possible. The system doesn’t actually label people as thieves; rather, it reminds the staff to check on those people as they might steal things. Sometimes the system raises an unjustified alarm. Nevertheless, it has proved a valuable tool for staff.
More than 110 supermarkets in the Netherlands have already used Veesion’s technology. According to the Personal Data Authority, supermarkets are allowed to use such technologies, provided they can properly justify why it is necessary.
The use of AI in stores is not just limited to stealing prevention. Globally, various AI. technologies are being used to improve the shopping experience and take full advantage of business processes. Also, shops use them for customized marketing. Michaels Stores, for example, a shop selling handmade goods, uses AI to tailor its advertising to each customer, which makes them feel more engaged and more likely to receive special offers that suit them. The company has created a system that helps create advertising copy and understand s which messages work best for different types of customers.
8. On getting an alarm from the system, what should shop staff do?
A. Arrest the suspect. B. Find out the truth.
C. Make an emergency call. D. Preserve photographic evidence.
9. On what condition is Veesion’s technology permitted in supermarkets?
A. They can prove it reasonable to use. B. They stop reporting thieving to the police.
C. They can indicate it isn’t meant for thieves. D. They’ve suffered massive shopping losses.
10. What does the underlined word “tailor” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Equalize. B. Promise. C. Personalize. D. Teach.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. AI: End of Stealing B. Benefits and Drawbacks of AI
C. Can AI Dominate Us? D. Jumbo Uses AI to Fight Shoplifting
D
A new study finds the body undergoes significant, systematic changes across multiple organs during prolonged periods of fasting, demonstrating evidence of health benefits beyond weight loss. It also shows any potential health-transforming changes appear to occur only after three days without food.
Over centuries, humans have developed the ability to survive without food for long. Fasting is practiced by people worldwide for different medical and cultural purposes. During fasting, the body changes its source and type of energy, switching from consumed calories to using its own fat stores. However, beyond this change in fuel sources, little is known about how the body responds to prolonged periods without food. Novel techniques allowing researchers to measure thousands of proteins (蛋白质) in our blood provide the opportunity to systematically study molecular(分子) adaptions to fasting in great detail.
Researchers followed 12 healthy volunteers participating in a seven-day water-only fast. The volunteers were monitored closely on a daily basis to record changes in the levels of around 3, 000 proteins in their blood before, during, and after the fast. By identifying which proteins are involved in the body’s response, the researchers could then predict potential health outcomes of prolonged fasting by analyzing information from numerous studies.
As expected, the researchers observed the body switching energy sources within the first three days of fasting. The volunteers lost an average of 5.7 kg of both fat mass and lean (瘦肉)mass. After three days of eating after fasting, the weight stayed off—the loss of lean was almost completely recovered, but the fat mass stayed off.
For the first time, the researchers observed the body undergoing distinct changes in protein levels after three days of fasting—indicating a whole-body response to complete calorie restriction. Overall, one in three of the proteins measured changed significantly during fasting across all major organs. These changes were consistent across the volunteers.
Head of the research Claudia Langenberg said, “Our results provide solid evidence for the health benefits of fasting beyond weight loss, but these were only visible after three days of total caloric restriction—later than we previously thought.”
12. What does the study focus on?
A. Health benefits of nutrient intake. B. Links between dieting and culture.
C. Maximum duration of human fasting. D. Effects of skipping food on health.
13. What enables researchers to identify multi-organ response to fasting on. a molecular level?
A. Enthusiastic participants. B. Emerging testing means.
C. Deep-rooted belief in fasting. D. Historical records of fasting.
14. What happens to the body after three food-free days?
A. Certain proteins are shifted. B. The weight remains unchanged.
C. Lean mass returned to normal. D. Fat mass substantially increases.
15. How may Claudia feel about their study outcomes?
A. Satisfied. B. Confused. C. Regretful. D. Embarrassed.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
When the sun rose one summer morning, Mark, a high school student, was riding his bike on the way to school as usual. He admired the attractive sights along the road with colorful flowers on both sides, and fresh air full of pleasant smell. It seemed to be a great day.
Mark was passing a park when he noticed an elderly woman walking about 100 meters ahead slowly falling down onto the ground. He felt his heart standing still with great concern. With nobody else around to turn to for help, Mark decided to ride over to see what was wrong with her for himself.
As he approached the old lady, he found her lying on the ground and looking pale and weak. Judging from her untidy clothes and messy hair, she might have been out for more than one day.
“Are you all right, Granny?” Shaking her arm, Mark asked anxiously. The old lady opened her eyes, a confused and lost expression on her face. She hesitated and then took a closer look. Immediately a big smile appeared on her face. Grasping Mark’s hand, she said with shining eyes, “John, there you are at last! My son, I’m hungry... hungry... Give me food...” She repeated, patting herself on the stomach.
Not knowing what to do, Mark anxiously asked her, “Granny, where is your home? Can you tell me who your son is?” But the old lady didn’t respond, only mumbling (嘟囔), “I’m hungry. Give me food, John.” Obviously, she mistook Mark for her son.
All of a sudden, Mark realized the old lady might be a patient with Alzheimer’s (痴呆症)disease because his own late grandpa used to suffer from such a condition. “She might have gone out without being noticed by her family. They must have been worried about her. Maybe they’re searching like crazy for her everywhere.” Mark thought to himself, “But she is so starved. I must give her some food before I get in touch with her family.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Looking around, Mark saw Billy’s Hamburgers nearby.

In January, 2021, the life of the 17-year-old high school student Mason Branstator took an unexpected turn. Skiing down a hill he had been on countless times, he hit a jump too fast. When waking up in the intensive care unit, he learned from the doctor he was left with a severely broken back, which would significantly impact his lower body functions.
Despite being told that he might never walk again, Mason’s unbending optimism and determination have fueled his extraordinary journey of recovery and self-discovery. Following his accident, Mason entered a health recovery center at Craig Hospital, Colorado. There he was surrounded by others on similar paths, which, coupled with his positive outlook, played a crucial role in his recovery. Mason’s journey was not just about regaining physical strength but also about overcoming mental barriers. Through willpower, he began to walk again, proving that the impossible could be made possible.
Mason’s newfound viewpoint on life led him to try activities that he once thought were beyond his reach. From surfing and rock climbing to competing in triathlons, he rediscovered parts of himself. He documented his adventures online, which ended up as a source of inspiration for millions worldwide.
“It all started with me just wanting to find more people like me I could connect with and talk through all the hard things I was going through,” said Mason. “And it turned into what inspired millions of people around the world, an incredible thing—I didn’t even intend for it to.”
Mason’s story strikes the heartstrings of people, not merely for the physical goals he has achieved but for the message of hope and determination he represents. He challenges what it means to live with a disability and redefines the boundaries of what is possible, inspiring millions to do the same. Alongside the communities he has built online, and the one he already has—his supportive family, he has no intention of slowing down.
4. What was the turning point in Mason’s life?
A His sightseeing tour. B. His first attempt at skiing.
C. A sports-related accident. D. A chance encounter with a doctor.
5. What matters most for Mason’s recovery apart from his positive outlook?

C. Donations from kind-hearted people. D. Advanced medical instruments.
6. What was Mason’s initial intention of sharing his story online?
A. To appeal for more attention. B. To showcase his survival skills.
C. To motivate like-minded souls. D. To seek connection and understanding.
7. What can we learn from Mason’s story?

Jumbo Supermarket is tackling shoplifting by laying hands on new technology: Artificial .Intelligence (AI). Smart cameras, equipped with software from French company Veesion, detect questionable behaviour and help report thieving from shops. With 100 million euros lost to shoplifters last year, Jumbo is starting a trial in its own shops this week.
The smart AI technology uses complicated software connected to the existing cameras and security network through the Internet, It then automatically monitors all the cameras at the same time for potential shopping activity. The technology is not faultless, but it significantly increases the chances of being caught. When a customer puts a product in his pocket or bag, the smart camera notices and reports it. This ensures that shoplifters can be caught in the act.
At Jumbo’s supermarket in Hengelo, Netherlands, 47 cameras have been fitted. AI is also being applied at other Jumbo locations. The cameras are strategically placed to identify questionable behaviour as effectively as possible. The system doesn’t actually label people as thieves; rather, it reminds the staff to check on those people as they might steal things. Sometimes the system raises an unjustified alarm. Nevertheless, it has proved a valuable tool for staff.
More than 110 supermarkets in the Netherlands have already used Veesion’s technology. According to the Personal Data Authority, supermarkets are allowed to use such technologies, provided they can properly justify why it is necessary.
The use of AI in stores is not just limited to stealing prevention. Globally, various AI. technologies are being used to improve the shopping experience and take full advantage of business processes. Also, shops use them for customized marketing. Michaels Stores, for example, a shop selling handmade goods, uses AI to tailor its advertising to each customer, which makes them feel more engaged and more likely to receive special offers that suit them. The company has created a system that helps create advertising copy and understand s which messages work best for different types of customers.
8. On getting an alarm from the system, what should shop staff do?
A. Arrest the suspect. B. Find out the truth.
C. Make an emergency call. D. Preserve photographic evidence.
9. On what condition is Veesion’s technology permitted in supermarkets?
A. They can prove it reasonable to use. B. They stop reporting thieving to the police.
C. They can indicate it isn’t meant for thieves. D. They’ve suffered massive shopping losses.
10. What does the underlined word “tailor” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Equalize. B. Promise. C. Personalize. D. Teach.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. AI: End of Stealing B. Benefits and Drawbacks of AI
C. Can AI Dominate Us? D. Jumbo Uses AI to Fight Shoplifting
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】:本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了Jumbo超市利用人工智能技术来打击商店盗窃行为的情况。

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第一段“Jumbo Supermarket is tackling shoplifting by laying hands on new technology: Artificial .Intelligence (AI). Smart cameras, equipped with software from French company Veesion, detect questionable behaviour and help report thieving from shops. With 100 million euros lost to shoplifters last year, Jumbo is starting a trial in its own shops this week.”(Jumbo超市正在利用新技术——人工智能(AI)来解决入店行窃问题。智能摄像头配备了法国公司Veesion软件,可以检测可疑行为,并帮助举报商店的盗窃行为。去年,Jumbo因商店扒手而损失了1亿欧元,该公司本周将在自己的商店开始试行这项服务。)可以看出本文主要讲述了Jumbo超市利用人工智能技术来打击商店盗窃行为的情况,故选D。

A new study finds the body undergoes significant, systematic changes across multiple organs during prolonged periods of fasting, demonstrating evidence of health benefits beyond weight loss. It also shows any potential health-transforming changes appear to occur only after three days without food.
Over centuries, humans have developed the ability to survive without food for long. Fasting is practiced by people worldwide for different medical and cultural purposes. During fasting, the body changes its source and type of energy, switching from consumed calories to using its own fat stores. However, beyond this change in fuel sources, little is known about how the body responds to prolonged periods without food. Novel techniques allowing researchers to measure thousands of proteins (蛋白质) in our blood provide the opportunity to systematically study molecular(分子) adaptions to fasting in great detail.
Researchers followed 12 healthy volunteers participating in a seven-day water-only fast. The volunteers were monitored closely on a daily basis to record changes in the levels of around 3, 000 proteins in their blood before, during, and after the fast. By identifying which proteins are involved in the body’s response, the researchers could then predict potential health outcomes of prolonged fasting by analyzing information from numerous studies.
As expected, the researchers observed the body switching energy sources within the first three days of fasting. The volunteers lost an average of 5.7 kg of both fat mass and lean (瘦肉)mass. After three days of eating after fasting, the weight stayed off—the loss of lean was almost completely recovered, but the fat mass stayed off.
For the first time, the researchers observed the body undergoing distinct changes in protein levels after three days of fasting—indicating a whole-body response to complete calorie restriction. Overall, one in three of the proteins measured changed significantly during fasting across all major organs. These changes were consistent across the volunteers.
Head of the research Claudia Langenberg said, “Our results provide solid evidence for the health benefits of fasting beyond weight loss, but these were only visible after three days of total caloric restriction—later than we previously thought.”
12. What does the study focus on?
A. Health benefits of nutrient intake. B. Links between dieting and culture.
C. Maximum duration of human fasting. D. Effects of skipping food on health.
13. What enables researchers to identify multi-organ response to fasting on. a molecular level?
A. Enthusiastic participants. B. Emerging testing means.
C. Deep-rooted belief in fasting. D. Historical records of fasting.
14. What happens to the body after three food-free days?
A. Certain proteins are shifted. B. The weight remains unchanged.
C. Lean mass returned to normal. D. Fat mass substantially increases.
15. How may Claudia feel about their study outcomes?
A. Satisfied. B. Confused. C. Regretful. D. Embarrassed.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When the sun rose one summer morning, Mark, a high school student, was riding his bike on the way to school as usual. He admired the attractive sights along the road with colorful flowers on both sides, and fresh air full of pleasant smell. It seemed to be a great day.
Mark was passing a park when he noticed an elderly woman walking about 100 meters ahead slowly falling down onto the ground. He felt his heart standing still with great concern. With nobody else around to turn to for help, Mark decided to ride over to see what was wrong with her for himself.
As he approached the old lady, he found her lying on the ground and looking pale and weak. Judging from her untidy clothes and messy hair, she might have been out for more than one day.
“Are you all right, Granny?” Shaking her arm, Mark asked anxiously. The old lady opened her eyes, a confused and lost expression on her face. She hesitated and then took a closer look. Immediately a big smile appeared on her face. Grasping Mark’s hand, she said with shining eyes, “John, there you are at last! My son, I’m hungry... hungry... Give me food...” She repeated, patting herself on the stomach.
Not knowing what to do, Mark anxiously asked her, “Granny, where is your home? Can you tell me who your son is?” But the old lady didn’t respond, only mumbling (嘟囔), “I’m hungry. Give me food, John.” Obviously, she mistook Mark for her son.
All of a sudden, Mark realized the old lady might be a patient with Alzheimer’s (痴呆症)disease because his own late grandpa used to suffer from such a condition. “She might have gone out without being noticed by her family. They must have been worried about her. Maybe they’re searching like crazy for her everywhere.” Mark thought to himself, “But she is so starved. I must give her some food before I get in touch with her family.”

【答案】 Looking around, Mark saw Billy’s Hamburgers nearby. Mark walks into the burger bar and starts picking out some burgers. He picks out the most expensive burgers in the restaurant. Seeing the large quantity of expensive bread, the cashier asked puzzled, “Are these hamburgers for you to eat?” Mark replied, “ I didn’t eat it, I bought it for an old lady.” Then he told the whole story. At this time, the burger restaurant owner just heard what Mark said, and then told the cashier to give Mark’s hamburger free, saying, this is my little token, please help me convey. We should all try our best to help those in need. Mark thanked his boss for his kindness and brought the burger to the old man.
Just then the old lady reached into her pocket, a note dropping out. Mark picked up the note which had the old man’s home address and the phone number of the old man’s family. After reading the note, Mark was overwhelmed with emotion, thinking that now the old man could be reunited with his family. After that, Mark made a phone call, and a short time later, the old man’s family came to pick him up and expressed their gratitude. Mark told the family that every kind person in this situation will lend a helping hand. I hope all you have to do is pay it forward. The old man’s family agreed with Mark and promised to pass on the kindness.
