My mother was born on a farm in Wisconsin in 1897. She attended college in Milwaukee.
One of my earliest memories, when I was about 3, was on a bitter cold day in 1932, the middle of the Great Depression. A man knocked on our back door and asked my mother for something to eat, as he hadn’t eaten for three days. Mom gave him a plate of stew (炖菜) plus two slices of bread. When he took the plate and fork, tears streamed down his cheeks.
At age 21, in 1918, my mother began employment with a local charity in northern Georgia. She was assigned alone to create valuable programs for a small community. She often told us the stories about those old days after she retired. In her later years, my mother established Georgia’s Garden Club, the Professional Women’s Club, the town’s first lending library and other “firsts”.
There were quite a lot of people at her funeral in 1990, when she passed away at 93. My sister and I moved among her many friends, exchanging memories about her. At one point, we saw a stranger with tears on his face. We approached him and my sister asked, “Did you know my mother well?” He replied, “I owe my life to her!” He told us that when he was a young child, in 1918, his family of seven all came down with the flu. The “new lady from the charity” heard about their illness and came to help. He said, “We’d never have made it without her loving care.”
Amazingly, the night before I had read a brief account of that very incident in one of my mother’s diaries. I’m certain I have a responsibility to inform the world of what my mother’s life in northern Georgia was like.
24.Why does the author mention the story that happened in 1932?
A.To complain about the Great Depression.
B.To explain there were many poor people.
C.To prove his family was so wealthy then.
D.To show his mother was very sympathetic.
25.What can best describe the author’s mother in her later years?
A.Ambitious and active. B.Traditional but brave.
C.Determined and humorous. D.Demanding but straightforward.
26.How might the author and his sister feel after hearing what the stranger said?
A.Puzzled. B.Grateful. C.Proud. D.Sad.
27.What is the author likely to talk about next regarding his mother?
A.Her education experiences. B.Her childhood memories.
C.The challenges in her career. D.The stories in her programs.
C
The notion that we live in someone else’s video game is irresistible to many. Searching the term “simulation hypothesis” (模拟假说) returns numerous results that debate whether the universe is a computer simulation — a concept that some scientists actually take seriously. Unfortunately, this is not a scientific question. We will probably never know whether it’s true. We can, instead, use this idea to advance scientific knowledge.
The 18th-century philosopher Kant argued that the universe ultimately consists of things-in-themselves that are unknowable. While he held the notion that objective reality exists, he said our mind plays a necessary role in structuring and shaping our perceptions. Modern sciences have revealed that our perceptual experience of the world is the result of many stages of processing by sensory systems and cognitive (认知的) functions in the brain. No one knows exactly what happens within this black box. If empirical (实证的) experience fails to reveal reality, reasoning won’t reveal reality either since it relies on concepts and words that are contingent on our social, cultural and psychological histories. Again, a black box.
So, if we accept that the universe is unknowable, we also accept we will never know if we live in a computer simulation. And then, we can shift our inquiry from “Is the universe a computer simulation? ” to “Can we model the universe as a computer simulation? ” Modelling reality is what we do. To facilitate our comprehension of the world, we build models based on conceptual metaphors (隐喻) that are familiar to us. In Newton’s era, we imagined the universe as a clock. In Einstein’s, we uncovered the standard model of particle (粒子) physics.
Now that we are in the information age, we have new concepts such as the computer, information processing, virtual reality, and simulation. Unsurprisingly, these new concepts inspire us to build new models of the universe. Models are not the reality, however. There is no point in arguing if the universe is a clock, a set of particles or an output of computation. All these models are tools to deal with the unknown and to make discoveries. And the more tools we have, the more effective and insightful we can become.
It can be imagined that comparable to the process of building previous scientific models, developing the “computer simulation” metaphor-based model will also be a hugely rewarding exercise.
28.What does the author intend to do by challenging a hypothesis?
A.Make an assumption. B.Illustrate an argument.
C.Give a suggestion. D.Justify a comparison.
29.What does the phrase “contingent on” underlined in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Accepted by. B.Determined by. C.Awakened by. D.Discovered by.
30.As for Kant’s argument, the author is _________.
A.appreciative B.doubtful C.unconcerned D.disapproving
31.It is implied in this passage that we should _________.
A.compare the current models with the previous ones
B.continue exploring the classical models in history
C.stop arguing whether the universe is a simulation
D.turn simulations of the universe into realities up.

In 2022, a New Zealand woman became the first to receive a gene-editing treatment to permanently lower her cholesterol (胆固醇). The woman had heart disease, along with an inherited risk for high cholesterol. But scientists behind the experimental treatment are considering how it could help pretty much anyone.
The trial is a potential turning point for CRISPR, the editing tool they used. Since the technology was first programmed to edit genomes (基因组) about a decade ago, we’ve seen CRISPR from scientific labs made much progress. But the first experimental treatments have focused on rare genetic disorders. They are working on more possibilities treating common disease like high cholesterol.
The cholesterol-lowering treatment, developed by Verve Therapeutics, relies on a form of gene editing called base editing, or “CRISPR 2.0”. It’s a more targeted approach. Instead of simply making cuts to shut off specific genes, scientists can now exchange a single DNA base for another. In theory, this should be safer because you’re less likely to cut an important gene by mistake, and you can be less likely to make mistakes that may occur when DNA repairs itself after being cut.
An even newer form of CRISPR could take things further still. Prime Editing — or “CRISPR 3.0” — allows scientists to put chunks (块) of DNA into a genome. If it works in people, it could let scientists replace disease-causing genes.
Together, these newer forms of CRISPR could broaden the possibilities of gene editing to take on many conditions — not all of them genetic. Someday, people may have the option to add genes thought to protect against high blood pressure, or certain diseases, to their genetic code.
All CRISPR treatments are experimental at this point, and we don’t know if they’re safe. Some argue we should focus on treating those with severe diseases in the meantime. But if these new forms of CRISPR do work, they could help many others.
32.What are scientists focusing on in the gene-editing treatment?
A.Its great success. B.Its wider application.
C.Its immediate effects. D.Its target patients.
33.Why does the author think that CRISPR 2.0 is theoretically safer?
A.It can shut off specific genes. B.It can avoid potential errors.
C.It’s likely to reduce DNA base damage. D.It provides protection for the genome.
34.What could be the innovative practice of Prime Editing?
A.Making cuts to shut off specific genes. B.Providing treatment for genetic diseases.
C.Exchanging a single DNA base for another. D.Taking the place of disease-causing genes.
35.What can be inferred from the text?
A.CRISPR treatments haven’t entered human trials.
B.Prime editing is being tested in the scientific lab.
C.Prime editing targets diseases caused by genetic disorders.
D.Verve’s cholesterol-lowering treatments are approved for use.

Helping Your Kids to Be Interested in Sports
Being active and moving is something that is so important for us all, especially for children. 36 However, some parents can feel shocked when they see that their child isn’t interested in sports. So how can you encourage them to have ago?
It is such a good idea to lead by example when you are a parent. This is true for a variety of aspects, but especially forgetting children involved in sport. 37 So you need to be someone who is interested and active, if you want any hope of them doing so too. If you lay on the couch all day then they will just learn to do that too.
38 Although they can choose who they want to support, seeing your enthusiasm for a particular player or team can be just what is needed to start their journey. You could look for a team uniform store to get them a sports shirt with their name on for example, as well as see the team play at one of their games. 39
If something is dull, it will be hard for children to be enthusiastic about it. This will make them resent(讨厌) it, which is not a good thing for later in life. If they show particular skill and learn to play sport, then more practice and training can come in. 40 When they can enjoy what they do, they will only see it as something fun to do, rather than what we as adults might see it as, such as a chore to burn calories.
Whatever sport your child chooses to play, encourage them and make it fun, and then it will be something that they will want to carry on doing as they go about the rest of their lives.
A.They won’t be interested in sports if you’re not.
B.here are some other tips that you would share with them.
C.Share your enthusiasm and it will help to lighten a passion.
D.So think about ways that can get them to be active in the sports.
E.How active a child is will impact their overall health and learning.
F.Apart from leading by example, you could also share your favorite team.
G.However, the main message forgetting children into sport is to keep it fun.

Our school’s “Help Others” event was drawing near, and our team had been assigned (分配) the task of organizing a fundraising campaign (筹款活动). We had a week to plan and carry out our strategy, and everyone wanted to play a meaningful part.
On the first day of our planning week, our team leader, Emily, brought us together to discuss our roles. She assigned different tasks to each team member based on our strengths and interests. I was assigned the role of connecting with local businesses for fundraising, a task I felt confident in completing.
As the week progressed, we worked tirelessly.
One afternoon, while we were creating promotional (宣传的) materials, Jacob, one of our teammates, came to us with a tired look on his face. He explained that he had been feeling unwell for the past few days and was worried about falling behind on his tasks.
Worried about Jacob’s well-being, we encouraged him to take some time off and rest and told him that we would support him in any way we could. Jacob finally agreed, understanding that he needed to take care of himself.
With Jacob absent, we realized that his tasks, including creating promotional materials, were left unfinished. We knew that if we didn’t step in to help, our campaign would fail. To solve this problem, we came together as a team and thought of ways to support Jacob and keep our campaign on track.
Sarah, with her artistic skills, volunteered to take over the design of the promotional materials, while Mark offered to help with the content creation. Emily, our team leader, stepped in to manage the whole team, making sure that everything stayed organized and on schedule. We tried our best to make our campaign successful.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

My mother was born on a farm in Wisconsin in 1897. She attended college in Milwaukee.
One of my earliest memories, when I was about 3, was on a bitter cold day in 1932, the middle of the Great Depression. A man knocked on our back door and asked my mother for something to eat, as he hadn’t eaten for three days. Mom gave him a plate of stew (炖菜) plus two slices of bread. When he took the plate and fork, tears streamed down his cheeks.
At age 21, in 1918, my mother began employment with a local charity in northern Georgia. She was assigned alone to create valuable programs for a small community. She often told us the stories about those old days after she retired. In her later years, my mother established Georgia’s Garden Club, the Professional Women’s Club, the town’s first lending library and other “firsts”.
There were quite a lot of people at her funeral in 1990, when she passed away at 93. My sister and I moved among her many friends, exchanging memories about her. At one point, we saw a stranger with tears on his face. We approached him and my sister asked, “Did you know my mother well?” He replied, “I owe my life to her!” He told us that when he was a young child, in 1918, his family of seven all came down with the flu. The “new lady from the charity” heard about their illness and came to help. He said, “We’d never have made it without her loving care.”
Amazingly, the night before I had read a brief account of that very incident in one of my mother’s diaries. I’m certain I have a responsibility to inform the world of what my mother’s life in northern Georgia was like.
24.Why does the author mention the story that happened in 1932?
A.To complain about the Great Depression.
B.To explain there were many poor people.
C.To prove his family was so wealthy then.
D.To show his mother was very sympathetic.
25.What can best describe the author’s mother in her later years?
A.Ambitious and active. B.Traditional but brave.
C.Determined and humorous. D.Demanding but straightforward.
26.How might the author and his sister feel after hearing what the stranger said?
A.Puzzled. B.Grateful. C.Proud. D.Sad.
27.What is the author likely to talk about next regarding his mother?
A.Her education experiences. B.Her childhood memories.
C.The challenges in her career. D.The stories in her programs.
C
The notion that we live in someone else’s video game is irresistible to many. Searching the term “simulation hypothesis” (模拟假说) returns numerous results that debate whether the universe is a computer simulation — a concept that some scientists actually take seriously. Unfortunately, this is not a scientific question. We will probably never know whether it’s true. We can, instead, use this idea to advance scientific knowledge.
The 18th-century philosopher Kant argued that the universe ultimately consists of things-in-themselves that are unknowable. While he held the notion that objective reality exists, he said our mind plays a necessary role in structuring and shaping our perceptions. Modern sciences have revealed that our perceptual experience of the world is the result of many stages of processing by sensory systems and cognitive (认知的) functions in the brain. No one knows exactly what happens within this black box. If empirical (实证的) experience fails to reveal reality, reasoning won’t reveal reality either since it relies on concepts and words that are contingent on our social, cultural and psychological histories. Again, a black box.
So, if we accept that the universe is unknowable, we also accept we will never know if we live in a computer simulation. And then, we can shift our inquiry from “Is the universe a computer simulation? ” to “Can we model the universe as a computer simulation? ” Modelling reality is what we do. To facilitate our comprehension of the world, we build models based on conceptual metaphors (隐喻) that are familiar to us. In Newton’s era, we imagined the universe as a clock. In Einstein’s, we uncovered the standard model of particle (粒子) physics.
Now that we are in the information age, we have new concepts such as the computer, information processing, virtual reality, and simulation. Unsurprisingly, these new concepts inspire us to build new models of the universe. Models are not the reality, however. There is no point in arguing if the universe is a clock, a set of particles or an output of computation. All these models are tools to deal with the unknown and to make discoveries. And the more tools we have, the more effective and insightful we can become.
It can be imagined that comparable to the process of building previous scientific models, developing the “computer simulation” metaphor-based model will also be a hugely rewarding exercise.
28.What does the author intend to do by challenging a hypothesis?
A.Make an assumption. B.Illustrate an argument.
C.Give a suggestion. D.Justify a comparison.
29.What does the phrase “contingent on” underlined in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Accepted by. B.Determined by. C.Awakened by. D.Discovered by.
30.As for Kant’s argument, the author is _________.
A.appreciative B.doubtful C.unconcerned D.disapproving
31.It is implied in this passage that we should _________.
A.compare the current models with the previous ones
B.continue exploring the classical models in history
C.stop arguing whether the universe is a simulation
D.turn simulations of the universe into realities up.

In 2022, a New Zealand woman became the first to receive a gene-editing treatment to permanently lower her cholesterol (胆固醇). The woman had heart disease, along with an inherited risk for high cholesterol. But scientists behind the experimental treatment are considering how it could help pretty much anyone.
The trial is a potential turning point for CRISPR, the editing tool they used. Since the technology was first programmed to edit genomes (基因组) about a decade ago, we’ve seen CRISPR from scientific labs made much progress. But the first experimental treatments have focused on rare genetic disorders. They are working on more possibilities treating common disease like high cholesterol.
The cholesterol-lowering treatment, developed by Verve Therapeutics, relies on a form of gene editing called base editing, or “CRISPR 2.0”. It’s a more targeted approach. Instead of simply making cuts to shut off specific genes, scientists can now exchange a single DNA base for another. In theory, this should be safer because you’re less likely to cut an important gene by mistake, and you can be less likely to make mistakes that may occur when DNA repairs itself after being cut.
An even newer form of CRISPR could take things further still. Prime Editing — or “CRISPR 3.0” — allows scientists to put chunks (块) of DNA into a genome. If it works in people, it could let scientists replace disease-causing genes.
Together, these newer forms of CRISPR could broaden the possibilities of gene editing to take on many conditions — not all of them genetic. Someday, people may have the option to add genes thought to protect against high blood pressure, or certain diseases, to their genetic code.
All CRISPR treatments are experimental at this point, and we don’t know if they’re safe. Some argue we should focus on treating those with severe diseases in the meantime. But if these new forms of CRISPR do work, they could help many others.
32.What are scientists focusing on in the gene-editing treatment?
A.Its great success. B.Its wider application.
C.Its immediate effects. D.Its target patients.
33.Why does the author think that CRISPR 2.0 is theoretically safer?
A.It can shut off specific genes. B.It can avoid potential errors.
C.It’s likely to reduce DNA base damage. D.It provides protection for the genome.
34.What could be the innovative practice of Prime Editing?
A.Making cuts to shut off specific genes. B.Providing treatment for genetic diseases.
C.Exchanging a single DNA base for another. D.Taking the place of disease-causing genes.
35.What can be inferred from the text?
A.CRISPR treatments haven’t entered human trials.
B.Prime editing is being tested in the scientific lab.
C.Prime editing targets diseases caused by genetic disorders.
D.Verve’s cholesterol-lowering treatments are approved for use.

Helping Your Kids to Be Interested in Sports
Being active and moving is something that is so important for us all, especially for children. 36 However, some parents can feel shocked when they see that their child isn’t interested in sports. So how can you encourage them to have ago?
It is such a good idea to lead by example when you are a parent. This is true for a variety of aspects, but especially forgetting children involved in sport. 37 So you need to be someone who is interested and active, if you want any hope of them doing so too. If you lay on the couch all day then they will just learn to do that too.
38 Although they can choose who they want to support, seeing your enthusiasm for a particular player or team can be just what is needed to start their journey. You could look for a team uniform store to get them a sports shirt with their name on for example, as well as see the team play at one of their games. 39
If something is dull, it will be hard for children to be enthusiastic about it. This will make them resent(讨厌) it, which is not a good thing for later in life. If they show particular skill and learn to play sport, then more practice and training can come in. 40 When they can enjoy what they do, they will only see it as something fun to do, rather than what we as adults might see it as, such as a chore to burn calories.
Whatever sport your child chooses to play, encourage them and make it fun, and then it will be something that they will want to carry on doing as they go about the rest of their lives.
A.They won’t be interested in sports if you’re not.
B.here are some other tips that you would share with them.
C.Share your enthusiasm and it will help to lighten a passion.
D.So think about ways that can get them to be active in the sports.
E.How active a child is will impact their overall health and learning.
F.Apart from leading by example, you could also share your favorite team.
G.However, the main message forgetting children into sport is to keep it fun.

Our school’s “Help Others” event was drawing near, and our team had been assigned (分配) the task of organizing a fundraising campaign (筹款活动). We had a week to plan and carry out our strategy, and everyone wanted to play a meaningful part.
On the first day of our planning week, our team leader, Emily, brought us together to discuss our roles. She assigned different tasks to each team member based on our strengths and interests. I was assigned the role of connecting with local businesses for fundraising, a task I felt confident in completing.
As the week progressed, we worked tirelessly.
One afternoon, while we were creating promotional (宣传的) materials, Jacob, one of our teammates, came to us with a tired look on his face. He explained that he had been feeling unwell for the past few days and was worried about falling behind on his tasks.
Worried about Jacob’s well-being, we encouraged him to take some time off and rest and told him that we would support him in any way we could. Jacob finally agreed, understanding that he needed to take care of himself.
With Jacob absent, we realized that his tasks, including creating promotional materials, were left unfinished. We knew that if we didn’t step in to help, our campaign would fail. To solve this problem, we came together as a team and thought of ways to support Jacob and keep our campaign on track.
Sarah, with her artistic skills, volunteered to take over the design of the promotional materials, while Mark offered to help with the content creation. Emily, our team leader, stepped in to manage the whole team, making sure that everything stayed organized and on schedule. We tried our best to make our campaign successful.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Late into the night, we came together in Sarah’s living room.

18.What is the speaker talking about at first?
A.A phenomenon. B.Her favorite icy drink. C.A piece of good news.
19.What does Jorge Serrador say about brain freeze?
A.It can last for two minutes.
B.It is impossible to prevent.
C.The cause of it is unknown yet.
20.What does Elizabeth Loder think of studying brain freeze?
A.Extremely silly. B.Very interesting. C.Quite surprising.
【答案】18.A 19.C 20.B
【原文】W: For many people eating ice cream or drinking an icy drink too fast can produce a really painful headache. It usually hits in the front of the brain behind the forehead. The technical name for this phenomenon is cold stimulus headache. But people also refer to it as ice cream headache or brain freeze. The good news is that brain freeze is easy to prevent just eat slowly. The other bit of good news is that these headaches don’t last very long, a minute at most. Jorge Serrador studies brain freeze. He hopes there will be better ways to prevent or treat it. Serrador says no one really knows yet what causes it, but there are some theories. For example, Serrador study has shown that just before the brain freeze hits, there is an increase in blood flow to the front of the brain that increases the volume, and therefore increases some pressure in that area. He says the brain may interpret increased pressure as pain. Harvard medical school headache researcher Elizabeth Loder says it’s not all that surprising to think scientists may learn something important from studying ice cream headaches. Some people think these things are silly. They’re actually really fascinating, says Loder.

My mother was born on a farm in Wisconsin in 1897. She attended college in Milwaukee.
One of my earliest memories, when I was about 3, was on a bitter cold day in 1932, the middle of the Great Depression. A man knocked on our back door and asked my mother for something to eat, as he hadn’t eaten for three days. Mom gave him a plate of stew (炖菜) plus two slices of bread. When he took the plate and fork, tears streamed down his cheeks.
At age 21, in 1918, my mother began employment with a local charity in northern Georgia. She was assigned alone to create valuable programs for a small community. She often told us the stories about those old days after she retired. In her later years, my mother established Georgia’s Garden Club, the Professional Women’s Club, the town’s first lending library and other “firsts”.
There were quite a lot of people at her funeral in 1990, when she passed away at 93. My sister and I moved among her many friends, exchanging memories about her. At one point, we saw a stranger with tears on his face. We approached him and my sister asked, “Did you know my mother well?” He replied, “I owe my life to her!” He told us that when he was a young child, in 1918, his family of seven all came down with the flu. The “new lady from the charity” heard about their illness and came to help. He said, “We’d never have made it without her loving care.”
Amazingly, the night before I had read a brief account of that very incident in one of my mother’s diaries. I’m certain I have a responsibility to inform the world of what my mother’s life in northern Georgia was like.
24.Why does the author mention the story that happened in 1932?
A.To complain about the Great Depression.
B.To explain there were many poor people.
C.To prove his family was so wealthy then.
D.To show his mother was very sympathetic.
25.What can best describe the author’s mother in her later years?
A.Ambitious and active. B.Traditional but brave.
C.Determined and humorous. D.Demanding but straightforward.
26.How might the author and his sister feel after hearing what the stranger said?
A.Puzzled. B.Grateful. C.Proud. D.Sad.
27.What is the author likely to talk about next regarding his mother?
A.Her education experiences. B.Her childhood memories.
C.The challenges in her career. D.The stories in her programs.
【答案】24.D 25.A 26.C 27.C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者的母亲曾几何时在善良和同情心的驱使下所做的助人为乐的行为。
24.推理判断题。根据第一段中“A man knocked on our back door and asked my mother for something to eat, as he hadn’t eaten for three days. Mom gave him a plate of stew(炖菜) plus two slices of bread. When he took the plate and fork, tears streamed down his cheeks.”(一个男人敲我家的后门,向我妈妈要点吃的,因为他已经三天没吃东西了。妈妈给了他一盘炖菜和两片面包。当他拿起盘子和叉子时,眼泪顺着脸颊流下来。)可推知,作者提到发生在1932年的故事是为了凸显他母亲非常富有同情心。故选D项。
25.推理判断题。根据第二段中“In her later years, my mother established Georgia’s Garden Club, the Professional Women’s Club, the town’s first lending library and other “firsts”.”(在她的晚年,我的母亲建立了佐治亚花园俱乐部,职业妇女俱乐部,镇上的第一个借阅图书馆和其他“第一”。)可推知,晚年的母亲是一个雄心勃勃,积极主动的人。故选A项。
26.推理判断题。根据第三段中“At one point, we saw a stranger with tears on his face. We approached him and my sister asked, “Did you know my mother well?” He replied, “I owe my life to her!” He told us that when he was a young child, in 1918, his family of seven all came down with the flu. The “new lady from the charity” heard about their illness and came to help. He said, “We’d never have made it without her loving care.””(有一次,我们看到一个陌生人满脸是泪。我们走近他,姐姐问:“你了解我妈妈吗?”他回答说:“我欠她一条命!”他告诉我们,1918年,当他还是个小孩子的时候,他一家七口都得了流感。“慈善机构新来的女士”听说了他们的病,过来帮忙。他说:“没有她的关爱,我们不可能成功。”)可推知,听到陌生人的话,作者和他的妹妹会为母亲的行为感到很骄傲。故选C项。
27.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“At one point, we saw a stranger with tears on his face.

I’m certain I have a responsibility to inform the world of what my mother’s life in northern Georgia was like.”(令人惊奇的是,就在前一天晚上,我在母亲的日记中读到一段关于这件事的简短描述。我确信我有责任告诉全世界我母亲在北乔治亚州的生活是什么样的。)可推知,关于他的母亲,作者接下来可能会谈论母亲职业生涯中遇到的挑战。故选C项。
C
The notion that we live in someone else’s video game is irresistible to many. Searching the term “simulation hypothesis” (模拟假说) returns numerous results that debate whether the universe is a computer simulation — a concept that some scientists actually take seriously. Unfortunately, this is not a scientific question. We will probably never know whether it’s true. We can, instead, use this idea to advance scientific knowledge.
The 18th-century philosopher Kant argued that the universe ultimately consists of things-in-themselves that are unknowable. While he held the notion that objective reality exists, he said our mind plays a necessary role in structuring and shaping our perceptions. Modern sciences have revealed that our perceptual experience of the world is the result of many stages of processing by sensory systems and cognitive (认知的) functions in the brain. No one knows exactly what happens within this black box. If empirical (实证的) experience fails to reveal reality, reasoning won’t reveal reality either since it relies on concepts and words that are contingent on our social, cultural and psychological histories. Again, a black box.
So, if we accept that the universe is unknowable, we also accept we will never know if we live in a computer simulation. And then, we can shift our inquiry from “Is the universe a computer simulation? ” to “Can we model the universe as a computer simulation? ” Modelling reality is what we do. To facilitate our comprehension of the world, we build models based on conceptual metaphors (隐喻) that are familiar to us. In Newton’s era, we imagined the universe as a clock. In Einstein’s, we uncovered the standard model of particle (粒子) physics.
Now that we are in the information age, we have new concepts such as the computer, information processing, virtual reality, and simulation. Unsurprisingly, these new concepts inspire us to build new models of the universe. Models are not the reality, however. There is no point in arguing if the universe is a clock, a set of particles or an output of computation. All these models are tools to deal with the unknown and to make discoveries. And the more tools we have, the more effective and insightful we can become.
It can be imagined that comparable to the process of building previous scientific models, developing the “computer simulation” metaphor-based model will also be a hugely rewarding exercise.
28.What does the author intend to do by challenging a hypothesis?
A.Make an assumption. B.Illustrate an argument.
C.Give a suggestion. D.Justify a comparison.
29.What does the phrase “contingent on” underlined in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Accepted by. B.Determined by. C.Awakened by. D.Discovered by.
30.As for Kant’s argument, the author is _________.
A.appreciative B.doubtful C.unconcerned D.disapproving
31.It is implied in this passage that we should _________.
A.compare the current models with the previous ones
B.continue exploring the classical models in history
C.stop arguing whether the universe is a simulation
D.turn simulations of the universe into realities up.
【答案】28.C 29.B 30.A 31.C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了哲学家对于宇宙的认知和信息时代下的作者对于宇宙争论的看法。
28.推理判断题。根据第一段“Searching the term “simulation hypothesis” (模拟假说) returns numerous results that debate whether the universe is a computer simulation —— a concept that some scientists actually take seriously. Unfortunately, this is not a scientific question. We will probably never know whether it’s true. We can, instead, use this idea to advance scientific knowledge.(搜索“模拟假说”这一术语会得到许多关于宇宙是否是计算机模拟的争论结果——一些科学家实际上认真对待这个概念。不幸的是,这不是一个科学问题。我们可能永远都不知道这是不是真的。相反,我们可以利用这个想法来推进科学知识)”可知,作者对于模拟假说提出质疑,是为了提出自己的建议,建议使用这一想法来推进科学知识。故选C项。
29.词句猜测题。根据第二段“If empirical (实证的) experience fails to reveal reality, reasoning won’t reveal reality either since it relies on concepts and words that are contingent on our social, cultural and psychological histories. Again, a black box.(如果经验不能揭示现实,推理也不会揭示现实,因为它依赖于contingent on我们的社会、文化和心理历史的概念和词语)”可知,句中that引导限制性定语从句,指代先行词concepts and words,且结合常识,概念和词语取决于我们的社会、文化和心理历史,推测划线短语表示“取决于”,与determined by意义相近。故选B项。
30.推理判断题。根据第二段“The 18th-century philosopher Kant argued that the universe ultimately consists of things-in-themselves that are unknowable. While he held the notion that objective reality exists, he said our mind plays a necessary role in structuring and shaping our perceptions. (18世纪的哲学家康德认为,宇宙最终由不可知的事物本身组成。虽然他认为客观现实是存在的,但他说,我们的大脑在构建和塑造我们的感知方面发挥着必要的作用)”以及第三段“So, if we accept that the universe is unknowable, we also accept we will never know if we live in a computer simulation.(因此,如果我们接受宇宙是不可知的,我们也接受我们永远不会知道我们是否生活在计算机模拟中)”可知,作者引用康德的观点,并在客观陈述后利用该观点来构建自己的论述,由此可知,作者对康德的论点持欣赏的态度。故选A项。
31.推理判断题。根据第四段“There is no point in arguing if the universe is a clock, a set of particles or an output of computation. All these models are tools to deal with the unknown and to make discoveries. And the more tools we have, the more effective and insightful we can become. (争论宇宙是否是一个时钟、一组粒子还是计算输出的产物是没有意义的。所有这些模型都是处理未知事物和发现事物的工具。我们拥有的工具越多,我们就能变得越有效、越有洞察力)”以及第五段“It can be imagined that comparable to the process of building previous scientific models, developing the “computer simulation” metaphor-based model will also be a hugely rewarding exercise.(可以想象,与之前构建科学模型的过程相比,开发基于“计算机模拟”隐喻的模型也将是一项非常有益的工作)”可知,作者认为争论宇宙是否是虚拟的,这是没有意义的,我们应该停止争论宇宙是否为模拟,而应该着手于将其作为一个模型来探索和理解,这样会更有助于科学的进步。故选C项。
D
In 2022, a New Zealand woman became the first to receive a gene-editing treatment to permanently lower her cholesterol (胆固醇). The woman had heart disease, along with an inherited risk for high cholesterol. But scientists behind the experimental treatment are considering how it could help pretty much anyone.
The trial is a potential turning point for CRISPR, the editing tool they used. Since the technology was first programmed to edit genomes (基因组) about a decade ago, we’ve seen CRISPR from scientific labs made much progress. But the first experimental treatments have focused on rare genetic disorders. They are working on more possibilities treating common disease like high cholesterol.
The cholesterol-lowering treatment, developed by Verve Therapeutics, relies on a form of gene editing called base editing, or “CRISPR 2.0”. It’s a more targeted approach. Instead of simply making cuts to shut off specific genes, scientists can now exchange a single DNA base for another. In theory, this should be safer because you’re less likely to cut an important gene by mistake, and you can be less likely to make mistakes that may occur when DNA repairs itself after being cut.
An even newer form of CRISPR could take things further still. Prime Editing — or “CRISPR 3.0” — allows scientists to put chunks (块) of DNA into a genome. If it works in people, it could let scientists replace disease-causing genes.
Together, these newer forms of CRISPR could broaden the possibilities of gene editing to take on many conditions — not all of them genetic. Someday, people may have the option to add genes thought to protect against high blood pressure, or certain diseases, to their genetic code.
All CRISPR treatments are experimental at this point, and we don’t know if they’re safe. Some argue we should focus on treating those with severe diseases in the meantime. But if these new forms of CRISPR do work, they could help many others.
32.What are scientists focusing on in the gene-editing treatment?
A.Its great success. B.Its wider application.
C.Its immediate effects. D.Its target patients.
33.Why does the author think that CRISPR 2.0 is theoretically safer?
A.It can shut off specific genes. B.It can avoid potential errors.
C.It’s likely to reduce DNA base damage. D.It provides protection for the genome.
34.What could be the innovative practice of Prime Editing?
A.Making cuts to shut off specific genes. B.Providing treatment for genetic diseases.
C.Exchanging a single DNA base for another. D.Taking the place of disease-causing genes.
35.What can be inferred from the text?
A.CRISPR treatments haven’t entered human trials.
B.Prime editing is being tested in the scientific lab.
C.Prime editing targets diseases caused by genetic disorders.
D.Verve’s cholesterol-lowering treatments are approved for use.
【答案】32.B 33.B 34.D 35.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家通过研发基因编辑工具CRISPR不断更新的三种形式,用于治疗疾病,并探索更加广泛运用的可能性。
32.细节理解题。 根据第二段中的“But the first experimental treatments have focused on rare genetic disorders. They are working on more possibilities treating common disease like high cholesterol.(但首批实验性治疗主要针对罕见的遗传疾病。他们正在研究更多治疗常见疾病的可能性,比如高胆固醇。)”可知,科学家正在研究更多更广治疗像高胆固醇疾病的方法。故选B。
33.细节理解题。 根据第三段中的“In theory, this should be safer because you’re less likely to cut an important gene by mistake, and you can be less likely to make mistakes that may occur when DNA repairs itself after being cut.(理论上,这应该更安全,因为你不太可能错误地切割一个重要的基因,你也不太可能在DNA被切割后自我修复时出现错误。)”可知,CRISPR 2.0理论上更安全是因为它能避免可能的错误。故选B。
34.推理判断题。 根据第四段中的“If it works in people, it could let scientists replace disease-causing genes.(如果它在人类身上起作用,它可以让科学家取代致病基因。)”可知,能取代致病基因是科学家们关于“Prime Editing”的创新实践。故选D。
35.推理判断题。 根据第四段中的“Prime Editing — or “CRISPR 3.0” — allows scientists to put chunks (块) of DNA into a genome. If it works in people, it could let scientists replace disease-causing genes.(Prime Editing——或“CRISPR 3.0”——允许科学家将DNA块放入基因组中。如果它在人类身上起作用,它可以让科学家取代致病基因。)”可知,“Prime Editing”允许科学家将DNA块放入基因组中。如果它在人身上有效,它就可以让科学家取代致病基因。以及最后一段中的“All CRISPR treatments are experimental at this point, and we don’t know if they’re safe.(目前,所有的CRISPR治疗都是实验性的,我们不知道它们是否安全)”可知,科学家研发的CRISPR不断更新的几种形式目前都是实验性的。故选B。

Helping Your Kids to Be Interested in Sports
Being active and moving is something that is so important for us all, especially for children. 36 However, some parents can feel shocked when they see that their child isn’t interested in sports. So how can you encourage them to have ago?
It is such a good idea to lead by example when you are a parent. This is true for a variety of aspects, but especially forgetting children involved in sport. 37 So you need to be someone who is interested and active, if you want any hope of them doing so too. If you lay on the couch all day then they will just learn to do that too.
38 Although they can choose who they want to support, seeing your enthusiasm for a particular player or team can be just what is needed to start their journey. You could look for a team uniform store to get them a sports shirt with their name on for example, as well as see the team play at one of their games. 39
If something is dull, it will be hard for children to be enthusiastic about it. This will make them resent(讨厌) it, which is not a good thing for later in life. If they show particular skill and learn to play sport, then more practice and training can come in. 40 When they can enjoy what they do, they will only see it as something fun to do, rather than what we as adults might see it as, such as a chore to burn calories.
Whatever sport your child chooses to play, encourage them and make it fun, and then it will be something that they will want to carry on doing as they go about the rest of their lives.
A.They won’t be interested in sports if you’re not.
B.here are some other tips that you would share with them.
C.Share your enthusiasm and it will help to lighten a passion.
D.So think about ways that can get them to be active in the sports.
E.How active a child is will impact their overall health and learning.
F.Apart from leading by example, you could also share your favorite team.
G.However, the main message forgetting children into sport is to keep it fun.
【答案】36.E 37.A 38.F 39.C 40.G

61.考查反身代词。句意:在成千上万条河流的灌溉下,草原在蓝天白云下呈现出一片绿色的地毯。本句主语是grassland,宾语也是grassland,因此宾语用反身代词itself,意为“它自己”,present oneself as“呈现出……”。故填itself。
62.考查副词。句意:你可以骑骆驼和马,看摔跤和赛马,享受篝火晚会,充分领略游牧民族独特的生活方式。分析句子结构可知,本题用副词fully“充分地”,修饰动词appreciated,作状语。故填fully。
63.考查形容词。句意:该地区的地理位置使其在夏天温暖宜人,而在冬天寒冷多雪。本空和 and前面的形容词pleasant并列,因此本空也用形容词snowy“多雪的”。故填snowy。

【答案】 My First Experience in Career
Last month, I had the privilege of participating in our school’s initiative, “My First Experience in Career.” It aimed to provide students like me with a glimpse into diverse professions.
My journey began at a local hospital, where I shadowed as a diligent nurse for a day. Witnessing her interactions with patients, meticulous care, and swift decision-making, I gained a deeper understanding of the immense responsibility and compassion required in this noble profession. It was an eye-opening experience that left me grateful for the healthcare workers who tirelessly save lives.
This practical experience transformed me, increasing my knowledge and igniting ambition. I’m thankful to our school for organizing such a meaningful program and excited for future opportunities.

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。
Our school’s “Help Others” event was drawing near, and our team had been assigned (分配) the task of organizing a fundraising campaign (筹款活动). We had a week to plan and carry out our strategy, and everyone wanted to play a meaningful part.
On the first day of our planning week, our team leader, Emily, brought us together to discuss our roles. She assigned different tasks to each team member based on our strengths and interests. I was assigned the role of connecting with local businesses for fundraising, a task I felt confident in completing.
As the week progressed, we worked tirelessly.
One afternoon, while we were creating promotional (宣传的) materials, Jacob, one of our teammates, came to us with a tired look on his face. He explained that he had been feeling unwell for the past few days and was worried about falling behind on his tasks.
Worried about Jacob’s well-being, we encouraged him to take some time off and rest and told him that we would support him in any way we could. Jacob finally agreed, understanding that he needed to take care of himself.
With Jacob absent, we realized that his tasks, including creating promotional materials, were left unfinished. We knew that if we didn’t step in to help, our campaign would fail. To solve this problem, we came together as a team and thought of ways to support Jacob and keep our campaign on track.
Sarah, with her artistic skills, volunteered to take over the design of the promotional materials, while Mark offered to help with the content creation. Emily, our team leader, stepped in to manage the whole team, making sure that everything stayed organized and on schedule. We tried our best to make our campaign successful.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Late into the night, we came together in Sarah’s living room.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The following day, when Jacob returned to our team, he was surprised at the progress we had made in his absence
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Late into the night, we came together in Sarah's living room. The room was filled with creativity and love, Sarah worked on the design, while Mark and I worked together to create interesting messages to attract our audience. As the hours passed, we shared stories, laughed, and supported each other through the creative work. The late–night tiredness was outweighed by the friendship we felt as a team, joined by our shared goals of making a difference and helping Jacob.
The following day, when Jacob returned to our team, he was surprised at the progress we had made in his absence. Jacob’s eyes welled up with emotion as he realized how much we had done for him. With renewed energy, we continued working together, putting the finishing touches on our campaign. On the day of the event, our team stood side by side, enjoying the fruits of our great efforts. The fundraising went beyond our expectations, allowing us to make a great difference to the cause we cared about deeply. Looking back on our journey, we realized that the strength of a team lies not only in individual ability but also in the readiness to support and help one another.
【导语】文章以组织筹款活动展开,讲述了在筹款活动期间,作者和小组成员都分配了不同的任务。但Jacob突然生病了,不能完成自己的任务。作者和成员主动分工承担Jacob负责的这部分,筹备工作有条不紊地进行着。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①根据第一段首句“深夜,我们一起来到Sarah家的客厅”可知,下文可描写他们聚在一起将Jacob负责的任务完成。
②根据第二段首句“第二天,当雅各布回到我们的团队时,他对我们在他不在的情况下取得的进步感到惊讶”可知,下文可描写Jacob对大家的感谢,加入团队继续工作,以及他们的感悟。
2.续写线索:聚到Sarah家——一起努力——完成Jacob的那份工作——Jacob回归惊讶于大家的进步——Jacob表示感谢——加入团队继续和大家努力——活动取得成功——感悟
3.词类激活
行为类
①充满:be full of/be filled with
②继续:continue/proceed/carry on
③帮助:help/assist
情绪类
①疲惫:tiredness/exhaustion
②愿意:readiness/willingness
【点睛】【高分句型1】 As the hours passed, we shared stories, laughed, and supported each other through the creative work.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句)
【高分句型2】Jacob’s eyes welled up with emotion as he realized how much we had done for him. (运用了as引导的原因状语从句和how much引导的宾语从句)
