If you're a writer, Scribd also has an open publishing platform to help you self-publish your audiobooks in minutes.
Kobo Books
Best known as an e-book retailer, Kobo Books also offers audiobooks on its platform. You get unlimited access to over 100,000 audiobooks in its library for only a few dollars. The app also does a good job organizing your purchased books, and its in-app statistics are brilliant for readers, knowing your reading habits in detail, while suggesting new recommended titles based on your history.
eStories
With over 120,000 different types of audiobooks to choose from, eStories starts off with a half-price offer for your first 3 months, and then switches to a higher-priced subscription.

Yu Zeling, an award-winning master of paper cutting, fills her studio with cutouts of animals, people, and scenes that are so vivid that they seem to leap from the walls. Her art covers village life in Ansai, a rural district in Shaanxi Province.
Ms. Yu came to paper cutting in the late 1970s as naturally as she breathed the earthy air. “We were very poor, and when it was time to celebrate the New Year, we all put paper-cuts on the windows to decorate our houses,” she says, recalling the holiday at her childhood home. Ms. Yu and others are working to keep the folk art alive, even as it evolves away from its roots as adornment for farmhouses.
The art originated in China in the centuries after paper was invented in A. D. 105. Full of auspicious(吉利的) symbols from daily life, the decorations represented good weather, many offspring, long life, wealth, and happiness.
Using newspaper, Ms. Yu first practiced cutting the image of a Chinese national flag that she saw in a school textbook. She cut it 100 times before she was satisfied. Then her aunt took over, introducing her to increasingly complicated traditional themes.
Ms. Yu was later invited to train in the Ansai’s Cultural Center. After years of training, Ms. Yu became a master in her own right, winning one award after another. Her works are on display in museums. But she’s humble about her achievements. “I was, and still am, a farmer,” she says with a smile.
Hoping to carry on and grow the folk art, Ms. Yu volunteers to teach at free community training sessions. Paper cutting is also taught in Ansai’s public schools. Ms. Yu is aware of the need to go beyond protecting traditions and embrace new paper-cut experiments.
4. What does the underlined word “adornment” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Celebration. B. Symbol. C. Invention. D. Decoratıon.
5. What can be learned about paper cutting from the text?
A. It has cultural value. B. It features animals.
C. It attracts the young. D. It remains in fashion.
6. Which word best describes Ms. Yu?
A. Talkative. B. Curious. C. Devoted. D. Competitive.
7. What is the text likely to be?
A. A brief history of paper cutting.
B. A new approach to paper cutting.
C. An introduction to a paper cutting master.
D. The direction of a traditional paper cutting.
C
A recent study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has discovered that river erosion (侵蚀) can lead to increased biodiversity in areas with minimal tectonic (地壳构造的) activity. The researchers focused their attention on the Tennessee River Basin and examined how the erosion of various rock types by the river had led to the separation and diversification of a type of fish called the greenfin darter. As time passed, these separate fish populations evolved into distinct families with genetic differences.
Scientist Thomas Near observed that the greenfin darter was exclusively found in the southern half of the Tennessee River Basin. The researchers analyzed the genes of each fish in Near’s data set and constructed an evolutionary tree. This tree helped them comprehend the evolution and differences of the greenfin darter species. They discovered that the fish within the same branch of the river were more closely related to each other than to the fish in other branches.
This study provides evidence that river erosion significantly impacts biodiversity in regions with low tectonic activity. It illustrates how changes in the landscape caused by river erosion can lead to the division and diversification of species over time, even in peaceful environments. These findings enhance our understanding of the mechanisms (机制) that drive biodiversity and evolution, even in areas that are not typically associated with intense tectonic activity.
Subsequently, the team discovered a strong correlation between the habitats of the greenfin darter and the type of rocks present. The southern half of the Tennessee River Basin consists of hard, tightly packed rocks, resulting in turbulent (湍急的) waves in the rivers that flow through it. This characteristic may be favored by the greenfin darter. As a result, the team assumed whether the distribution of greenfin darter habitats had been influenced by the changing rock types, as the rivers eroded the land over time. To test this assumption, the researchers developed a simulation model. Remarkably, the results confirmed their assumption.
8. What is new about the MIT study?
A. It finds river erosion can enhance biodiversity.
B. It further proves the mechanisms of river erosion.
C. It proves the geographical features of biodiversity.
D. It classifies a type of fish called the greenfin darter.
9. What can we learn about the greenfin darter?
A. Their appearances vary between families. B. Their genetic constitutions have diversified.
C. They prefer the deep and slow-flowing river. D. They go extinct in the changing landscape of rivers.
10. How did Near help the researchers reach their conclusion?
A. By creating an evolutionary tree of the fish.
B. By offering the fish’s genetic data.
C. By reasoning out the time the fish evolve and separate.
D. By analyzing the genetic similarity between different fish.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. River Erosion Can Shape Fish Evolution B. Genetic Change in the Greenfin Darter
C Evolutionary Tree Analysis of the Greenfin Darter D. The Impact of Climate Change on Fish Diversity
D
When patients are discharged (出院) from the hospital, effective summaries from doctors’ notes are essential to capture their health status in the medical record. Whereas, most are filled with technical languages that are hard to understand and increase patients’ anxiety.
To address the problem, researchers from New York University (NYU) Langone Health have been testing the capabilities of generative artificial intelligence (AI). It tries to develop likely options for the next word in any sentence based on how most people use words in context on the Internet.
NYU Langone Health received access to the latest tool from a famous tech company to explore generative AI. One of the studies by the researchers published in JAMA Network Open, looked at how well the tool could convert (转换) the text in 50 patient discharge notes into patient-friendly language. Specifically, generative AI made the discharge notes drop from 11th-grade reading level on average to a 6th-grade level.
Two physicians were asked to review the AI discharge summary based on a 6th-grade level. The reviewing physicians awarded 54 percent of the AI-generated discharge notes the best-possible accuracy rating. They also found that 56 percent of notes created by AI were entirely complete. The result signified that even at the current performance level, providers of discharge notes would not have to make a single change in more than half of the AI summaries reviewed.
“That more than half of the AI reports generated are accurate and complete is an amazing start,” said Jonah Zaretsky, associate chief of medicine at NYU Langone Hospital — Brooklyn. “Even at the current level of performance, which we expect to improve shortly, the achievement of the AI tool suggests that it can be taught to recognize subtleties (微妙之处).”
Within the following years, the team expects to launch a pilot program to provide lay language discharge summaries that have been generated by AI and reviewed by physicians to patients on a larger scale.
12. What is generative AI used for by the researchers?
A. Submitting discharge summaries. B. Accessing patients’ health status.
C. Making discharge notes clear to patients. D. Offering technical languages to doctors.
13. What is generative AI’s function based on?
A. Probable predicting. B. Actual thinking.
C. Free imagining. D. Strict instructing.
14. Why were the two physicians asked to review the AI discharge summaries?
A. To correct their mistakes. B. To measure their accuracy.
C. To compete with the AI tool. D. To make up the missing parts.
15. How did Jonah Zaretsky find the performance of AI in dealing with discharge summaries?
A. Misleading. B. Dismissive. C. Challenging. D. Promising.

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。
To my mother the four basic food groups are meat, milk, grain and coleslaw (凉拌菜丝)—pieces of raw cabbage, carrot, onion, etc. mixed with sauce. And she always thinks highly of her handmade coleslaw. In our house, the coleslaw always goes on the table in a bowl.
I love Mom's coleslaw, but there was a time I distinctly remember when it caused absolute panic within me.
Early in the first grade, I raced home from school with a collection of papers handed to me by my class teacher Mary. As I rushed through the front door, I immediately ran to the kitchen where Mom was making chicken noodle soup. Holding the papers, I begged, “Read them to me, Mom, please!”
Slowly she started reading aloud. I smiled with delight as she read to me what seemed an almost endless list of exciting adventures waiting for me in the coming year. And then, it happened.
“It's a tradition for a mother to bring a homemade treat for the class to share on her child's birthday,” she read. “It needn't be anything fancy, just something you enjoy making.” The words floated through the air in painfully slow motion. The phrase “just something you enjoy making” kept appearing inside my head.
Until my birthday in April, I lived in fear that Mom would arrive at school with a cart full of her coleslaw for everyone to share. I imagined the classmates laughing at me, “Who would bring coleslaw on his birthday? Oh, stupid Tom!”
When I left for school on the morning of my birthday, Mom was making cakes. I had relief and was glad she would bring the cakes. But then, I found there were a great many raw vegetables in the fridge. “Will you also make coleslaw for me, Mom?” I asked, shocked.
注意:
1. 续写词数应150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Panic swept over me as I looked at Mom for an answer.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Wow, how delicious!” Mary said, and then all the others expected the coleslaw.

Yu Zeling an award-winning master of paper cutting, fills her studio with cutouts of animals, people, and scenes that are so vivid that they seem to leap from the walls. Her art covers village life in Ansai, a rural district in Shaanxi Province.
Ms. Yu came to paper cutting in the late 1970s as naturally as she breathed the earthy air. “We were very poor, and when it was time to celebrate the New Year, we all put paper-cuts on the windows to decorate our houses,” she says, recalling the holiday at her childhood home. Ms. Yu and others are working to keep the folk art alive, even as it evolves away from its roots as adornment for farmhouses.
The art originated in China in the centuries after paper was invented in A. D. 105. Full of auspicious(吉利的) symbols from daily life, the decorations represented good weather, many offspring, long life, wealth, and happiness.
Using newspaper, Ms. Yu first practiced cutting the image of a Chinese national flag that she saw in a school textbook. She cut it 100 times before she was satisfied. Then her aunt took over, introducing her to increasingly complicated traditional themes.
Ms. Yu was later invited to train in the Ansai’s Cultural Center. After years of training, Ms. Yu became a master in her own right, winning one award after another. Her works are on display in museums. But she’s humble about her achievements. “I was, and still am, a farmer,” she says with a smile.
Hoping to carry on and grow the folk art, Ms. Yu volunteers to teach at free community training sessions. Paper cutting is also taught in Ansai’s public schools. Ms. Yu is aware of the need to go beyond protecting traditions and embrace new paper-cut experiments.
4. What does the underlined word “adornment” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Celebration. B. Symbol. C. Invention. D. Decoratıon.
5. What can be learned about paper cutting from the text?
A. It has cultural value. B. It features animals.
C. It attracts the young. D. It remains in fashion.
6. Which word best describes Ms. Yu?
A. Talkative. B. Curious. C. Devoted. D. Competitive.

A recent study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has discovered that river erosion (侵蚀) can lead to increased biodiversity in areas with minimal tectonic (地壳构造的) activity. The researchers focused their attention on the Tennessee River Basin and examined how the erosion of various rock types by the river had led to the separation and diversification of a type of fish called the greenfin darter. As time passed, these separate fish populations evolved into distinct families with genetic differences.
Scientist Thomas Near observed that the greenfin darter was exclusively found in the southern half of the Tennessee River Basin. The researchers analyzed the genes of each fish in Near’s data set and constructed an evolutionary tree. This tree helped them comprehend the evolution and differences of the greenfin darter species. They discovered that the fish within the same branch of the river were more closely related to each other than to the fish in other branches.
This study provides evidence that river erosion significantly impacts biodiversity in regions with low tectonic activity. It illustrates how changes in the landscape caused by river erosion can lead to the division and diversification of species over time, even in peaceful environments. These findings enhance our understanding of the mechanisms (机制) that drive biodiversity and evolution, even in areas that are not typically associated with intense tectonic activity.
Subsequently, the team discovered a strong correlation between the habitats of the greenfin darter and the type of rocks present. The southern half of the Tennessee River Basin consists of hard, tightly packed rocks, resulting in turbulent (湍急的) waves in the rivers that flow through it. This characteristic may be favored by the greenfin darter. As a result, the team assumed whether the distribution of greenfin darter habitats had been influenced by the changing rock types, as the rivers eroded the land over time. To test this assumption, the researchers developed a simulation model. Remarkably, the results confirmed their assumption.
8. What is new about the MIT study?
A. It finds river erosion can enhance biodiversity.
B. It further proves the mechanisms of river erosion.
C. It proves the geographical features of biodiversity.
D. It classifies a type of fish called the greenfin darter.
9. What can we learn about the greenfin darter?
A. Their appearances vary between families. B. Their genetic constitutions have diversified.
C. They prefer the deep and slow-flowing river. D. They go extinct in the changing landscape of rivers.
10. How did Near help the researchers reach their conclusion?
A. By creating an evolutionary tree of the fish.
B. By offering the fish’s genetic data.
C. By reasoning out the time the fish evolve and separate.
D. By analyzing the genetic similarity between different fish.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. River Erosion Can Shape Fish Evolution B. Genetic Change in the Greenfin Darter
C. Evolutionary Tree Analysis of the Greenfin Darter D. The Impact of Climate Change on Fish Diversity
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. A

When patients are discharged (出院) from the hospital, effective summaries from doctors’ notes are essential to capture their health status in the medical record. Whereas, most are filled with technical languages that are hard to understand and increase patients’ anxiety.
To address the problem, researchers from New York University (NYU) Langone Health have been testing the capabilities of generative artificial intelligence (AI). It tries to develop likely options for the next word in any sentence based on how most people use words in context on the Internet.
NYU Langone Health received access to the latest tool from a famous tech company to explore generative AI. One of the studies by the researchers published in JAMA Network Open, looked at how well the tool could convert (转换) the text in 50 patient discharge notes into patient-friendly language. Specifically, generative AI made the discharge notes drop from 11th-grade reading level on average to a 6th-grade level.
Two physicians were asked to review the AI discharge summary based on a 6th-grade level. The reviewing physicians awarded 54 percent of the AI-generated discharge notes the best-possible accuracy rating. They also found that 56 percent of notes created by AI were entirely complete. The result signified that even at the current performance level, providers of discharge notes would not have to make a single change in more than half of the AI summaries reviewed.
“That more than half of the AI reports generated are accurate and complete is an amazing start” said Jonah Zaretsky, associate chief of medicine at NYU Langone Hospital — Brooklyn. “Even at the current level of performance, which we expect to improve shortly, the achievement of the AI tool suggests that it can be taught to recognize subtleties (微妙之处).”
Within the following years, the team expects to launch a pilot program to provide lay language discharge summaries that have been generated by AI and reviewed by physicians to patients on a larger scale.
12. What is generative AI used for by the researchers?
A. Submitting discharge summaries. B. Accessing patients’ health status.
C. Making discharge notes clear to patients. D. Offering technical languages to doctors.
13. What is generative AI’s function based on?
A. Probable predicting. B. Actual thinking.
C. Free imagining. D. Strict instructing.
14. Why were the two physicians asked to review the AI discharge summaries?
A. To correct their mistakes. B. To measure their accuracy.
C. To compete with the AI tool. D. To make up the missing parts.
15. How did Jonah Zaretsky find the performance of AI in dealing with discharge summaries?
A. Misleading. B. Dismissive. C. Challenging. D. Promising.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了长城作为世界上最古老的军事防御工程,拥有超过2000年的建造历史,总长度超过2万公里。长城不仅是一座墙,还包括一系列防御工事,如敌楼、烽火台等,构成了完整的防御系统。长城不仅是中华民族统一的象征,也是世界文化遗产之一。
【36题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:长城是世界上建造时间最长、工程量最大的古老军事防御项目。结合状语in the world可知本空用形容词最高级largest表示“最大的”,作定语修饰amount。故填largest。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:自西周以来,它已经连续建造了2000多年。本空用副词continuously表示“连续不断地”,作状语修饰built。故填continuously。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:它分布在中国北部和中部广阔的地区,总长度超过20000公里。本空用名词length表示“长度”,作with的宾语,构成短语with a total length of,意为“总长……”。故填length。
【39题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:长城不仅仅是一堵墙,而是一个完整的防御工程体系,由许多防御工事组成,如城墙、敌楼、码头、营房、哨所、烽火台等。句子谓语动词是is,空格处需要非谓语动词,consist与其逻辑主语defense engineering system之间是主动关系,用现在分词作后置定语。故填consisting。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:这个防御工程体系处于各级军事指挥系统的控制之下。本空用介词under构成短语under the control of表示“在……控制之下”。故填under。

考查关系代词。句意:关于长城体系中的烽火台,它们主要作为信息传输系统,这是最古老但有效的方式。本空用关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面整个句子并在从句中作主语。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查现在完成时。句意:自长城建成之日起,它已经成为中华民族统一的象征。结合时间状语从句Since the day the Great Wall was built可知句子时态用现在完成时,主语是it,助动词用has。故填has become。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:它在世界与中国之间的交流中发挥着不可替代的作用。结合短语play a role in“在……扮演角色/起作用”可知本空用不定冠词,结合空格后的irreplaceable以元音音素开头,可知用an。故填an。
【45题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:1987年,长城被联合国教科文组织列为世界文化遗产。结合时间状语In 1987可知句子时态是一般过去时,主语the Great Wall与list之间是被动关系,用一般过去时的被动语态,be动词用was。故填was listed。

第二节 (满分 25 分)
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。
To my mother, the four basic food groups are meat, milk, grain and coleslaw (凉拌菜丝)—pieces of raw cabbage, carrot, onion, etc. mixed with sauce. And she always thinks highly of her handmade coleslaw. In our house, the coleslaw always goes on the table in a bowl.
I love Mom's coleslaw, but there was a time I distinctly remember when it caused absolute panic within me.
Early in the first grade, I raced home from school with a collection of papers handed to me by my class teacher Mary. As I rushed through the front door, I immediately ran to the kitchen where Mom was making chicken noodle soup. Holding the papers, I begged, “Read them to me, Mom, please!”
Slowly she started reading aloud. I smiled with delight as she read to me what seemed an almost endless list of exciting adventures waiting for me in the coming year. And then, it happened.
“It's a tradition for a mother to bring a homemade treat for the class to share on her child's birthday,” she read. “It needn't be anything fancy, just something you enjoy making.” The words floated through the air in painfully slow motion. The phrase “just something you enjoy making” kept appearing inside my head.
Until my birthday in April, I lived in fear that Mom would arrive at school with a cart full of her coleslaw for everyone to share. I imagined the classmates laughing at me, “Who would bring coleslaw on his birthday? Oh, stupid Tom!”
When I left for school on the morning of my birthday, Mom was making cakes. I had relief and was glad she would bring the cakes. But then, I found there were a great many raw vegetables in the fridge. “Will you also make coleslaw for me, Mom?” I asked, shocked.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Panic swept over me as I looked at Mom for an answer.

“Wow, how delicious!” Mary said, and then all the others expected the coleslaw.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
Panic swept over me as I looked at Mom for an answer. She said, “It's a secret and a surprise.” Just then, the school bus came. “Don't bring the coleslaw,” I shouted angrily, hurrying for the bus. Mom just laughed. All morning, I was anxious. At 12: 00, Mom showed up with cupcakes and also coleslaw. I felt embarrassed, annoyed and worried about my classmates' reaction. Mom walked to Mary and gave her a cupcake and some coleslaw placed on a paper plate. Curiously, she tasted the coleslaw.
“Wow, how delicious!” Mary said , and then all the others expected the coleslaw. I was surprised. When more and more classmates gave positive response, my initial fear turned into relief and joy. “Your mom is so talented! Will you bring some next time?” many classmates asked. After school, I rushed home, hugging Mom and apologizing for shouting at her in the morning. Meanwhile, I thanked her for giving me such a wonderful birthday. My mother made the best coleslaw, and she made the best memories, too.
