My name is Howard Tucker.
Studies have shown that keeping one’s brain stimulated may prevent many age-related cognitive impairments(认知伤害). I keep my brain stimulated by working, though for those who have retired or plan on retiring, a mentally stimulating hobby might be a suitable alternative. It is critical to know yourself and understand your limits and capabilities, but I firmly believe that retirement is the enemy of longevity (长寿).
With people continuing to live longer, it may soon be commonplace to see individuals working into their 80s, 90s and, in some cases, past 100, like me. I now spend my time teaching medical and law students at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and I prioritize staying current with the latest trends in neurology (神经学), my area of specialization.
Over the years I’ve had to adapt frequently to the changing technology, which isn’t always easy for someone my age. Many doctors I’ve known simply retired because they did not want to learn how to use computers. But I believe that a desire to continue to learn is a must in one’s later years.
While technology has made a huge impact on the practice of medicine, I still urge my medical students to listen to patients, take a thorough patient history and look at the patient while questioning him/her. Then, I would have them look at the imaging studies.
I believe I am wiser now, in the sense I am less judgmental and more patient with my medical students who have forgotten how to take a thorough patient history, the most important part of the examination.
Of course, I’ve had to make adjustments over the years. Pacing is important. It feels like only yesterday that I would be going on rounds seeing patients in the hospital at 5:00 a. m. Now with my 102nd birthday less than two months away, I find myself sleeping in. But I wake up at 8:30 am, ready to face the day ahead of me.
24. What was Howard Tucker’s job in the past?
A. Writer. B. Doctor. C. Teacher. D. Scientist.
25. Why does Howard Tucker give the talk?
A. To celebrate his longevity.
B. To advocate lifetime learning.
C. To explain why he keeps working after retirement.
D. To clarify what is the most important in neurology.
26. How does Howard Tucker see technology?
A. Adapt to it as it is easy to learn. B. Learn it to avoid retirement.
C. Use it to replace old methods. D. Combine it with traditional ways.
27. What causes Howard Tucker to make adjustments over the years?
A. His age B. His illness. C. His student. D. His sleep.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章是退休医生Howard Tucker的演讲,讲述了他为什么退休后还坚持工作的原因。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I now spend my time teaching medical and law students at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and I prioritize staying current with the latest trends in neurology (神经学), my area of specialization.(我现在在克利夫兰的凯斯西储大学教授医学和法律专业的学生,我优先关注神经病学的最新趋势,这是我的专业领域)”以及第四段“Many doctors I’ve known simply retired because they did not want to learn how to use computers.(我认识的许多医生都退休了,因为他们不想学习如何使用电脑)”可知,霍华德·塔克过去的工作是医生。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“I keep my brain stimulated by working, though for those who have retired or plan on retiring, a mentally stimulating hobby might be a suitable alternative. It is critical to know yourself and understand your limits and capabilities, but I firmly believe that retirement is the enemy of longevity (长寿).(我通过工作来刺激我的大脑,尽管对于那些已经退休或计划退休的人来说,一个刺激精神的爱好可能是一个合适的选择。了解自己,了解自己的极限和能力是至关重要的,但我坚信退休是长寿的敌人)”可知,霍华德·塔克要做这个演讲是为了解释他为什么退休后还继续工作。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“While technology has made a huge impact on the practice of medicine, I still urge my medical students to listen to patients, take a thorough patient history and look at the patient while questioning him/her.(虽然科技对医学实践产生了巨大的影响,但我仍然敦促我的医科学生倾听病人的意见,全面了解病人的病史,在询问病人的时候看着他/她)”可知,霍华德·塔克认为科技应该与传统方式相结合。故选D。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Over the years I’ve had to adapt frequently to the changing technology, which isn’t always easy for someone my age.(多年来,我不得不经常适应不断变化技术,这对我这个年龄的人来说并不容易)”可知,年龄让霍华德·塔克这么多年来不断做出调整。故选A。
C
I recently ran into a woman I knew from work years ago. She had performed random acts of kindness but sometimes sounded too shallow. Now here she was again. “Hi, ”she said, smiling. “How are you? ”Like a fool, I rushed to tell her everything I had been doing.
The woman interrupted me. “That’s great. I’m so happy to hear you’ve finally sorted your life out.” And off she went, leaving me speechless. I tossed and turned that night, thinking about what she had meant. She didn’t know anything about my life, so why had she said that?
I finally recognised psychologist Adam Grant’s idea about frenemies — those “supposed friends who sometimes help you and sometimes hurt you” Not for nothing did Grant write: “The most toxic relationships aren’t the purely negative ones. They’re the ones that are a mix of positive and negative.”
Avoiding these connections whenever possible is probably a good idea, but how do we distinguish frenemies from other friends? Human behaviorist Vanessa Van Edwards has identified three different types of frenemy.
The first is the easiest to detect — the jealous (嫉妒的) frenemy. “On the surface, they want you to succeed but they will gossip about you behind your back and are jealous of your accomplishments and successes,” Vanessa says.
The second type of frenemy is what she calls the undermining (暗中破坏的) frenemy. You think they’re on your side and then they start making indirect, unkind comments in front of the boss. The undermining frenemy operates outside the office, too. For example, you tell a friend that you want to lose weight. Are they going to cheer you on or invite you to a bad brunch and bring you a cupcake?
The third type is the hardest to detect, labelled by Van Edwards as the unsure frenemy. She believes that this type of connection has become increasingly common thanks to social media. “Particularly when you have a lot of interactions online with wider social groups, it can be really difficult to know where a person fits in your life. We like each other’s posts online with each other. But I’m not sure I like you,” Van Ed-wards explains.
28. Why did the author rush to tell the woman everything?
A. They are close friends.
B. She needed the woman’s help.
C. The woman was good at comforting friends.
D. She misjudged the woman’s behavior and purpose
29. What does the underlined word “toxic” in the 30 paragraph most probably mean?
A. Privileged. B. Poisonous. C. Superior. D. Innocent
30. What type is it if a friend keeps inviting and paying for you to play computer games when he knows you want to start studying hard?
A. The purely negative type. B. The jealous type
C. The undermining type. D. The unsure type
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. How to Justify Frenemies B. Why So Many Frenemies?
C. Be Careful of Frenemies! D. The Meaning of Frenemy
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过个人经历引出主题,即识别和处理“假朋友”的关系,并引用了心理学家和人类行为学家的专业观点来分类和解释不同类型的“假朋友”。

推理判断题。由文章第一段“I recently ran into a woman I knew from work years ago. She had performed random acts of kindness but sometimes sounded too shallow. Now here she was again. “Hi, ”she said, smiling. “How are you? ”Like a fool, I rushed to tell her everything I had been doing. (最近我遇到了一个多年前工作时认识的女人。她偶尔会做一些善举,但有时听起来太肤浅。现在她又来了。“嗨,”她微笑着说。“你好吗?”我像个傻瓜一样,冲过去告诉她我所做的一切。)”和第二段“The woman interrupted me. “That’s great. I’m so happy to hear you’ve finally sorted your life out. ”And off she went, leaving me speechless. I tossed and turned that night, thinking about what she had meant. She didn’t know anything about my life, so why had she said that? (那个女人打断了我的话。“太好了。我很高兴听到你终于把你的生活安排好了。”她走了,留下我一个人说不出话来。那天晚上我辗转反侧,思考着她的意思。她对我的生活一无所知,为什么要那么说呢?)”可知,作者一时冲动,误以为这位女士真的对自己目前的生活感兴趣,所以急于分享自己的近况,作者错误地判断了那位女士的行为和目的。故选D。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。由第三段中的“I finally recognised psychologist Adam Grant’s idea about frenemies — those “supposed friends who sometimes help you and sometimes hurt you.” (我终于认同了心理学家亚当·格兰特关于亦敌亦友的观点——那些“有时帮助你,有时伤害你的假想朋友”。)”和“relationships aren’t the purely negative ones. They’re the ones that are a mix of positive and negative. (并不是那些纯粹消极的关系。他们是积极和消极的混合体。)”可知,“假朋友”对你时好时坏,这种关系是有害的,最有害的关系并不是那些纯粹消极的关系。toxic在此处最有可能的意思是“有害的,不友善的”。A. Privileged享有特权的;B. Poisonous有毒的,极端讨厌(或不友善)的;C. Superior优越的;D. Innocent无辜的。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The second type of frenemy is what she calls the undermining (暗中破坏的) frenemy. You think they’re on your side and then they start making indirect, unkind comments in front of the boss. The undermining frenemy operates outside the office, too. For example, you tell a friend that you want to lose weight. Are they going to cheer you on or invite you to a bad brunch and bring you a cupcake? (第二种类型的友敌是她所说的暗中破坏的假朋友。你以为他们站在你这边,然后他们开始在老板面前间接地说一些不友好的话。这种暗中破坏的亦敌亦友的行为也在办公室之外发生。例如,你告诉一个朋友你想减肥。他们是会为你加油,还是会邀请你去吃一顿糟糕的早午餐,然后给你带个小蛋糕?)”可知,这种人表面上支持你,实际上却做出不利于你的行为。因此,如果一个朋友在知道你想开始努力学习时,还不断邀请并为你支付玩电脑游戏的费用,这属于暗中破坏的类型。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第三段中“I finally recognised psychologist Adam Grant’s idea about frenemies — those “supposed friends who sometimes help you and sometimes hurt you.” Not for nothing did Grant write: “The most toxic relationships aren’t the purely negative ones. They’re the ones that are a mix of positive and negative.” (我终于认同了心理学家亚当·格兰特关于亦敌亦友的观点——那些“有时帮助你,有时伤害你的假想朋友”。格兰特写道:“最有害的关系并不是那些纯粹消极的关系。他们是积极和消极的混合体。”)”可知,整篇文章通过作者的个人经历引入了frenemy“假朋友”的概念,并引用心理学家和人类行为学家的观点分析了三种不同类型的frenemy,提醒读者警惕这类友敌关系。因此,最适合的标题是“Be Careful of Frenemies! (小心假朋友!)”。故选C。
D
Jobs are central to our lives. They enable us to make a living. Productive jobs create wealth and drive development. Full employment ensures not only economic prosperity but also social cohesion and stability. That is why the International Labour Organization (ILO), as one of the UN agencies specialized in employment, promotes decent work as a key to sustainable development and social justice.
Globally, the world of work is undergoing great changes unseen in a century. We often hear that many people can’t find jobs, while employers can’t find qualified employees. Ever those who have jobs are worried about the future of their jobs.
Such anxiety is not misplaced. The ILO’s World Employment and Social Outlook 202 ( report shows that all regions are facing major job-skills gaps and mismatches. According to its study, a generation ago the skills you learned in school were sufficient for you to survive in the job market for a while. Now half of the skills you acquired through education and training may start to depreciate (贬值) within 5 years! (Boston Consulting Group, 2023) Skills become outdated much quicker, as technological transformation and the green transition (转型) are quickening.
ChatGPT is a case in point. AI has the potential to replace many professional and ever creative jobs. The potential threat is no longer limited to replacing unskilled repetitive jobs by automation. Technologies are fundamentally reshaping workplaces and jobs.
The green transition is another driver for growing skill-job mismatch. The automobile industry may continue to boom, but electronic cars require a different set of human skills from fossil fuel-driven cars. Jobs in high carbon emission sectors will gradually disappear, while alternative jobs are greened or created in green sectors. According to an ILO analysis, because of the green transition, there could be around 78 million job losses globally by 2030. However, over 103 million jobs can be created — but only if workers can be systematically reskilled and upskilled. (ILO, 2019)
32. What is the structure of the text?
A. Problem and solution. B. Definition and example.
C Significance and action. D. Phenomenon and analysis.
33. How does the author prove his point of view in the third paragraph?
A. By using examples. B. By making analysis.
C. By using his own data. D. By referring to other researches.
34. The author mentions ChatGPT and electronic cars to show
A. why there are job-skills gaps and mismatches B. why we should be careful about technology
C. the importance of education and training D. the necessity of reshaping workplaces and jobs
35. What is the author’s attitude towards the green transition?
A. Objective. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今就业市场面临巨大变革的现象,指出这一现象背后的原因是工作技能差距和不匹配。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Globally, the world of work is undergoing great changes unseen in a century. We often hear that many people can’t find jobs, while employers can’t find qualified employees. Ever those who have jobs are worried about the future of their jobs. (在全球范围内,劳动世界正在经历百年未有之大变局。我们经常听到很多人找不到工作,而雇主找不到合格的员工。那些有工作的人都担心他们工作的未来。)”主要说明了就业现象;根据第三段“The ILO’s World Employment and Social Outlook 202( report shows that all regions are facing major job-skills gaps and mismatches. (国际劳工组织的《世界就业与社会展望2020》报告显示,所有地区都面临着重大的工作技能差距和不匹配。)”分析了这一现象背后的原因。故可知,文章的结构是现象与分析。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Now half of the skills you acquired through education and training may start to depreciate (贬值) within 5 years! (Boston Consulting Group, 2023) Skills become outdated much quicker, as technological transformation and the green transition (转型) are quickening. (现在,你通过教育和培训获得的一半技能可能会在5年内开始贬值!(波士顿咨询集团,2023)随着技术转型和绿色转型的加快,技能过时的速度要快得多。)”可知,作者通过参考其他研究证明他的观点。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“ChatGPT is a case in point. AI has the potential to replace many professional and ever creative jobs. The potential threat is no longer limited to replacing unskilled repetitive jobs by automation. Technologies are fundamentally reshaping workplaces and jobs. (ChatGPT就是一个很好的例子。人工智能有可能取代许多专业和创造性的工作。潜在的威胁不再局限于自动化取代非技术性的重复性工作。技术正在从根本上重塑工作场所和工作。)”可知,作者提到了ChatGPT和电子汽车来展示为什么会有工作技能差距和不匹配。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The green transition is another driver for growing skill-job mismatch. The automobile industry may continue to boom, but electronic cars require a different set of human skills from fossil fuel-driven cars. Jobs in high carbon emission sectors will gradually disappear, while alternative jobs are greened or created in green sectors. According to an ILO analysis, because of the green transition, there could be around 78 million job losses globally by 2030. However, over 103 million jobs can be created —but only if workers can be systematically reskilled and upskilled. (绿色转型是技能与工作不匹配加剧的另一个驱动因素。汽车工业可能会继续蓬勃发展,但电动汽车需要一套不同于化石燃料驱动汽车的人类技能。高碳排放行业的工作岗位将逐渐消失,而绿色行业的替代工作岗位将被绿化或创造出来。根据国际劳工组织的一项分析,由于绿色转型,到2030年全球可能会失去约7800万个工作岗位。然而,只要能够系统地对工人进行再培训和技能提升,就可以创造1.03亿多个就业岗位。)”可知,作者对绿色转型的态度是客观的。故选A。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)
Historically, CEOs were mainly seen as the managers of their companies. Today’s CEOs, however, are increasingly recognized as essential players on the world stage. _____36_____
It’s a phenomenon called CEO statesmanship. This is a function not only of CEOs’ economic power, but also of their role in influencing a wide range of people. ____37____
How can they maximize their impact?
First, a CEO should be prepared to speak out on critical issues. ____38____ The great fame of CEOs requires them to be informed and thoughtful. More than ever, they are expected to share their views, to engage in national conversations and to contribute to social progress. Saying nothing and avoiding the spot-light may feel safer, but a CEO who stands for nothing is dispensable (可有可无的).
______39______ A CEO shouldn’t make a statement about every news headline. Leaders who express their opinions on every topic will find that they are expected to respond to issues out of their depths. This invites missteps and the loss of authority. Knowing when to speak and when to stay silent is important. Only by focusing on what lies in their depths, interests and values can they make a meaningful contribution.
Finally, a CEO should act as a catalyst (催化剂) for change. _______40_______ Stakeholders can see the difference between lip service and sincere efforts. When a CEO decides to make a statement on a matter of public concern, it must be backed by concrete actions. For example, if they are keen on green development, they can take measures to reduce their firms’ carbon footprint.
By speaking out on critical issues, leading with purpose, and acting as catalysts for change, CEOs can help lead society towards a better future.
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. But how should CEOs take on this role?
C. As leaders, CEOs should lead with purpose.
D. With great power comes great responsibility.
E. CEO statesmanship will matter more than ever.
F. But should CEOs be given so many privileges and responsibilities?
G. They have the power to influence public policy, and even the course of global events.
【答案】36. G 37. B 38. D 39. C 40. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了首席执行官(CEO)的职责以及影响力。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Historically, CEOs were mainly seen as the managers of their companies. Today’s CEOs, however, are increasingly recognized as essential players on the world stage.(从历史上看,CEO主要被视为公司的管理者。然而,今天的首席执行官们越来越被认为是世界舞台上不可或缺的角色)”可知,本句为本段最后一句,故承接上文,说明CEO被认为是不可或缺角色的原因。故G选项“他们有能力影响公共政策,甚至影响全球事件的进程”符合语境,故选G。
【37题详解】
根据上文“It’s a phenomenon called CEO statesmanship. This is a function not only of CEOs’ economic power, but also of their role in influencing a wide range of people.(这是一种被称为CEO政治家风度的现象。这不仅与首席执行官的经济实力有关,也与他们在影响广泛人群方面的作用有关)”以及后文“How can they maximize their impact?(他们如何才能最大限度地发挥自己的影响力?)”可知,本句为过渡句,指出CEO是如何发挥自己作用的。故B选项“但是CEO们应该如何扮演这个角色呢?”符合语境,故选B。
【38题详解】
根据上文“First, a CEO should be prepared to speak out on critical issues.(首先,CEO应该准备好就关键问题发表意见)”以及后文“The great fame of CEOs requires them to be informed and thoughtful. More than ever, they are expected to share their views, to engage in national conversations and to contribute to social progress. Saying nothing and avoiding the spot-light may feel safer, but a CEO who stands for nothing is dispensable (可有可无的).(首席执行官们的巨大声誉要求他们见多识广、深思熟虑。人们比以往任何时候都更希望他们分享自己的观点,参与全国性的对话,并为社会进步作出贡献。什么都不说,避开聚光灯可能会让人感觉更安全,但一个什么都不代表的CEO是不可或缺的)”可知,后文提到CEO需要对社会进步做出贡献,强调了他们的责任。故D选项“权力越大,责任越大”符合语境,故选D。
【39题详解】
根据后文“A CEO shouldn’t make a statement about every news headline. Leaders who express their opinions on every topic will find that they are expected to respond to issues out of their depths. This invites missteps and the loss of authority. Knowing when to speak and when to stay silent is important. Only by focusing on what lies in their depths, interests and values can they make a meaningful contribution.(CEO不应该对每个新闻标题都发表声明。对每个话题都表达自己观点的领导者会发现,他们被期望对超出自己深度的问题做出回应。这会导致失误和权威的丧失。知道什么时候该说话,什么时候该保持沉默是很重要的。只有关注自己的深度、兴趣和价值观,才能做出有意义的贡献)”可知,本段主要说明了CEO的领导方式。故C选项“作为领导者,CEO应该有目的性地领导”符合语境,故选C。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Finally, a CEO should act as a catalyst (催化剂) for change.(最后,CEO应该成为变革的催化剂)”以及后文“Stakeholders can see the difference between lip service and sincere efforts. When a CEO decides to make a statement on a matter of public concern, it must be backed by concrete actions. For example, if they are keen on green development, they can take measures to reduce their firms’ carbon footprint.(利益相关者可以看到口头承诺和真诚努力之间的区别。当首席执行官决定就公众关注的问题发表声明时,必须有具体的行动支持。例如,如果他们热衷于绿色发展,他们可以采取措施减少公司的碳足迹)”可知,后文强调了CEO必须有具体的行动来支持自己的言论,即强调了行动。故A选项“行动比语言更响亮”符合语境,故选A。

67. 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。
One of my first nights on call started by responding to a message on my phone, and then I arrived at the animal hospital hurriedly.
I had been working as a veterinary (兽医的) nurse at a university hospital for only nine months. My job included assisting doctors in performing operations on animals. And I was already familiar with the basic operation procedure: preparing operation tools, giving anesthesia (麻醉), positioning the animal on the operation table, cleaning the injured part, and at last, attaching the steel plate to the broken bone.
On this particular night, the only information given was an emergency that needed my immediate attention. I was calm, yet anxious as I headed to the hospital. Shortly after arriving at the hospital, I found that two doctors and another nurse had just arrived. They were checking the patient in a stall (牲畜棚) near the operation room.
I entered the stall, surprised to find there stood a tiny horse. Obviously, she lived outside all year round. Her entire body was covered with caked-on mud. She looked normal. The only thing out of place was the unnatural angle at which she held her right back leg, which was injured. As I came closer, I realized she was shaking and sweating, even though the night was cool.
As I approached, I heard her family talking to her, their voices quiet and serious. “It’s okay, Doro. We love you. Doctors will fix you right up, ”said a small child. Her name was Daisy and the horse was 28-year-old with a broken leg. For a horse, such an injury usually means the death sentence. And Doro’s age was against her.
Her family included Mom, Dad, Daisy and her twin brothers, who were as worried as the little girl about the seriousness of the horse’s condition. Looking wide-eyed and frightened, Daisy turned to her father and asked, “Daddy, you won’t let Doro die, will you? ”That look in her eyes struck everyone’s heart. I knew we would be working all night to save Doro.
Soon, we anxiously prepared for the operation.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
I rushed into Central Supply, the area where all our operation tools were kept.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Doro has woken up and now you can see her. Come!” I cheerfully told the family.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I rushed into Central Supply, the area where all our operation tools were kept. My heart was pounding as I quickly gathered the necessary tools, double-checking to make sure nothing was missing. With the tools in hand, I dashed back to the operating room. The doctors were already preparing, and we all worked in harmony, determined to give Doro the best chance at recovery. The operation was no easy job even with the doctors’ expertise and my whole-hearted assistance. I could feel the pressure mounting, knowing that every second counted in saving Doro. Time seemed to have frozen in the stall.
“Doro has woken up and now you can see her. Come!” I cheerfully told the family. They all rushed in, their faces filled with hope and anticipation. They crowded around Doro, tears of relief streaming down their faces as they saw her slowly regaining consciousness. Daisy let out a squeal of joy and hugged her father tightly. The horse looked at them with a gentle gaze, as if she knew she was loved. We all watched with smiles on our faces, feeling a sense of accomplishment and gladness that our efforts had paid off. The family thanked us over and over again, and in that moment, I knew that our hard work and dedication had truly made a difference.

【导语】本文以一匹受伤的小马为线索展开。一个兽医护士匆忙赶到医院。她发现需要急救的是一匹住在户外、满身泥泞的小马,右后腿骨折,尽管夜晚凉爽,小马仍在颤抖和出汗。小马的家人,包括父母和一对双胞胎兄弟,以及小女孩黛西,都十分担忧。他们对小马的爱显而易见,尤其是黛西恳求的眼神触动了所有人的心。尽管对于一匹28岁马来说,这样的伤势很可能致命,但医护人员决定整夜奋战,尽力挽救小马多萝的生命。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“我冲进Central Supply,那里存放着我们所有的操作工具。”可知,第一段可以描写作者拿到工具后对小马的救助过程和心理活动。

My name is Howard Tucker.
Studies have shown that keeping one’s brain stimulated may prevent many age-related cognitive impairments(认知伤害). I keep my brain stimulated by working, though for those who have retired or plan on retiring, a mentally stimulating hobby might be a suitable alternative. It is critical to know yourself and understand your limits and capabilities, but I firmly believe that retirement is the enemy of longevity (长寿).
With people continuing to live longer, it may soon be commonplace to see individuals working into their 80s, 90s and, in some cases, past 100, like me. I now spend my time teaching medical and law students at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and I prioritize staying current with the latest trends in neurology (神经学), my area of specialization.
Over the years I’ve had to adapt frequently to the changing technology, which isn’t always easy for someone my age. Many doctors I’ve known simply retired because they did not want to learn how to use computers. But I believe that a desire to continue to learn is a must in one’s later years.
While technology has made a huge impact on the practice of medicine, I still urge my medical students to listen to patients, take a thorough patient history and look at the patient while questioning him/her. Then, I would have them look at the imaging studies.
I believe I am wiser now, in the sense I am less judgmental and more patient with my medical students who have forgotten how to take a thorough patient history, the most important part of the examination.
Of course, I’ve had to make adjustments over the years. Pacing is important. It feels like only yesterday that I would be going on rounds seeing patients in the hospital at 5:00 a. m. Now with my 102nd birthday less than two months away, I find myself sleeping in. But I wake up at 8:30 am, ready to face the day ahead of me.
24. What was Howard Tucker’s job in the past?
A. Writer. B. Doctor. C. Teacher. D. Scientist.
25. Why does Howard Tucker give the talk?
A. To celebrate his longevity.
B. To advocate lifetime learning.
C. To explain why he keeps working after retirement.
D. To clarify what is the most important in neurology.
26 How does Howard Tucker see technology?
A. Adapt to it as it is easy to learn. B. Learn it to avoid retirement.
C. Use it to replace old methods. D. Combine it with traditional ways.
27. What causes Howard Tucker to make adjustments over the years?
A. His age B. His illness. C. His student. D. His sleep.
C
I recently ran into a woman I knew from work years ago. She had performed random acts of kindness but sometimes sounded too shallow. Now here she was again. “Hi, ”she said, smiling. “How are you? ”Like a fool, I rushed to tell her everything I had been doing.
The woman interrupted me. “That’s great. I’m so happy to hear you’ve finally sorted your life out.” And off she went, leaving me speechless. I tossed and turned that night, thinking about what she had meant. She didn’t know anything about my life, so why had she said that?
I finally recognised psychologist Adam Grant’s idea about frenemies — those “supposed friends who sometimes help you and sometimes hurt you.” Not for nothing did Grant write: “The most toxic relationships aren’t the purely negative ones. They’re the ones that are a mix of positive and negative.”
Avoiding these connections whenever possible is probably a good idea, but how do we distinguish frenemies from other friends? Human behaviorist Vanessa Van Edwards has identified three different types of frenemy.
The first is the easiest to detect — the jealous (嫉妒的) frenemy. “On the surface, they want you to succeed but they will gossip about you behind your back and are jealous of your accomplishments and successes,” Vanessa says.
The second type of frenemy is what she calls the undermining (暗中破坏的) frenemy. You think they’re on your side and then they start making indirect, unkind comments in front of the boss. The undermining frenemy operates outside the office, too. For example, you tell a friend that you want to lose weight. Are they going to cheer you on or invite you to a bad brunch and bring you a cupcake?
The third type is the hardest to detect, labelled by Van Edwards as the unsure frenemy. She believes that this type of connection has become increasingly common thanks to social media. “Particularly when you have a lot of interactions online with wider social groups, it can be really difficult to know where a person fits in your life. We like each other’s posts online with each other. But I’m not sure I like you,” Van Ed-wards explains.
28. Why did the author rush to tell the woman everything?
A. They are close friends.
B. She needed the woman’s help.
C. The woman was good at comforting friends.
D. She misjudged the woman’s behavior and purpose
29. What does the underlined word “toxic” in the 30 paragraph most probably mean?
A. Privileged. B. Poisonous. C. Superior. D. Innocent
30. What type is it if a friend keeps inviting and paying for you to play computer games when he knows you want to start studying hard?
A. The purely negative type. B. The jealous type
C. The undermining type. D. The unsure type
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. How to Justify Frenemies B. Why So Many Frenemies?
C. Be Careful of Frenemies! D. The Meaning of Frenemy
D
Jobs are central to our lives. They enable us to make a living. Productive jobs create wealth and drive development. Full employment ensures not only economic prosperity but also social cohesion and stability. That is why the International Labour Organization (ILO), as one of the UN agencies specialized in employment, promotes decent work as a key to sustainable development and social justice.
Globally, the world of work is undergoing great changes unseen in a century. We often hear that many people can’t find jobs, while employers can’t find qualified employees. Ever those who have jobs are worried about the future of their jobs.
Such anxiety is not misplaced. The ILO’s World Employment and Social Outlook 202 ( report shows that all regions are facing major job-skills gaps and mismatches. According to its study, a generation ago the skills you learned in school were sufficient for you to survive in the job market for a while. Now half of the skills you acquired through education and training may start to depreciate (贬值) within 5 years! (Boston Consulting Group, 2023) Skills become outdated much quicker, as technological transformation and the green transition (转型) are quickening.
ChatGPT is a case in point. AI has the potential to replace many professional and ever creative jobs. The potential threat is no longer limited to replacing unskilled repetitive jobs by automation. Technologies are fundamentally reshaping workplaces and jobs.
The green transition is another driver for growing skill-job mismatch. The automobile industry may continue to boom, but electronic cars require a different set of human skills from fossil fuel-driven cars. Jobs in high carbon emission sectors will gradually disappear, while alternative jobs are greened or created in green sectors. According to an ILO analysis, because of the green transition, there could be around 78 million job losses globally by 2030. However, over 103 million jobs can be created — but only if workers can be systematically reskilled and upskilled. (ILO, 2019)
32. What is the structure of the text?
A. Problem and solution. B. Definition and example.
C. Significance and action. D. Phenomenon and analysis.
33. How does the author prove his point of view in the third paragraph?
A. By using examples. B. By making analysis.
C. By using his own data. D. By referring to other researches.
34. The author mentions ChatGPT and electronic cars to show
A. why there are job-skills gaps and mismatches B. why we should be careful about technology
C. the importance of education and training D. the necessity of reshaping workplaces and jobs
35. What is the author’s attitude towards the green transition?
A. Objective. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)
Historically, CEOs were mainly seen as the managers of their companies. Today’s CEOs, however, are increasingly recognized as essential players on the world stage. _____36_____
It’s a phenomenon called CEO statesmanship. This is a function not only of CEOs’ economic power, but also of their role in influencing a wide range of people. ____37____
How can they maximize their impact?
First, a CEO should be prepared to speak out on critical issues. ____38____ The great fame of CEOs requires them to be informed and thoughtful. More than ever, they are expected to share their views, to engage in national conversations and to contribute to social progress. Saying nothing and avoiding the spot-light may feel safer, but a CEO who stands for nothing is dispensable (可有可无的).
______39______ A CEO shouldn’t make a statement about every news headline. Leaders who express their opinions on every topic will find that they are expected to respond to issues out of their depths. This invites missteps and the loss of authority. Knowing when to speak and when to stay silent is important. Only by focusing on what lies in their depths, interests and values can they make a meaningful contribution.
Finally, a CEO should act as a catalyst (催化剂) for change. _______40_______ Stakeholders can see the difference between lip service and sincere efforts. When a CEO decides to make a statement on a matter of public concern, it must be backed by concrete actions. For example, if they are keen on green development, they can take measures to reduce their firms’ carbon footprint.
By speaking out on critical issues, leading with purpose, and acting as catalysts for change, CEOs can help lead society towards a better future.
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. But how should CEOs take on this role?
C. As leaders, CEOs should lead with purpose.
D. With great power comes great responsibility.
E. CEO statesmanship will matter more than ever.
F. But should CEOs be given so many privileges and responsibilities?
G. They have the power to influence public policy, and even the course of global events.

Wang Ximeng, an 18-year-old boy, spent half a year creating a nearly 12-meter-long landscape painting under the guidance of Emperor Huizong, the ___56___ (eight) emperor of the Song Dynasty.

The waves on the rivers show great patience and techniques of the painter. But ____61____ you think there’s nothing special in the mountains, think again. Amid the continuous, almost-same-height mountains, one tall mountain, ____62____ towers over all the others around it, suddenly appears. Experts hold a belief ___63___ it represents the young man’s ambition, standing there, like he is the center of the world.
Actually Wang Ximeng is underrepresented in the history of great Chinese artists simply because he has no other ____64____ (know) works surviving today. Nobody knows exactly when he died, _____65_____ it is believed that he passed away in his twenties.
The excellent skills in the painting make it hard to believe that it came from a teenager. Historians believe beyond the young man’s ambition and his landscape painting skills, it also contains great value for historical studies into the Song Dynasty.

One of my first nights on call started by responding to a message on my phone, and then I arrived at the animal hospital hurriedly.
I had been working as a veterinary (兽医的) nurse at a university hospital for only nine months. My job included assisting doctors in performing operations on animals. And I was already familiar with the basic operation procedure: preparing operation tools, giving anesthesia (麻醉), positioning the animal on the operation table, cleaning the injured part, and at last, attaching the steel plate to the broken bone.
On this particular night, the only information given was an emergency that needed my immediate attention. I was calm, yet anxious as I headed to the hospital. Shortly after arriving at the hospital, I found that two doctors and another nurse had just arrived. They were checking the patient in a stall (牲畜棚) near the operation room.
I entered the stall, surprised to find there stood a tiny horse. Obviously, she lived outside all year round. Her entire body was covered with caked-on mud. She looked normal. The only thing out of place was the unnatural angle at which she held her right back leg, which was injured. As I came closer, I realized she was shaking and sweating, even though the night was cool.
As I approached, I heard her family talking to her, their voices quiet and serious. “It’s okay, Doro. We love you. Doctors will fix you right up, ”said a small child. Her name was Daisy and the horse was 28-year-old with a broken leg. For a horse, such an injury usually means the death sentence. And Doro’s age was against her.
Her family included Mom, Dad, Daisy and her twin brothers, who were as worried as the little girl about the seriousness of the horse’s condition. Looking wide-eyed and frightened, Daisy turned to her father and asked, “Daddy, you won’t let Doro die, will you? ”That look in her eyes struck everyone’s heart. I knew we would be working all night to save Doro.
Soon, we anxiously prepared for the operation.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
I rushed into Central Supply the area where all our operation tools were kept.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Doro has woken up and now you can see her. Come!” I cheerfully told the family.
