I arrived home from work, my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda (日程), and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct (不同的) from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my academic fields for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.
To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.
What surprised me the most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting. I learned about life in different countries, as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul.
4. What did the author do to wipe out the anxiety?
A. He drowned it in chocolate. B. He conducted an experiment.
C. He slept on the sofa leisurely. D. He escaped into a fantasy world.
5. What was the author’s attitude towards reading in paragraph 2?
A. Reading novels was not attractive to the author.
B. Reading a good book was time well spent.
C. He was too busy to take good care of his books.
D. The Harry Potter book wasn’t as good as expected.
6. How did the New Year’s resolution benefit the author?
A. More sympathy went out to him.
B. His moral values were strengthened.
C. He learned much about religious diversity.
D. He gained new insight into his academic fields.
7. What’s the best title of the text?
A. Reading: A Lifelong Hobby B. The Power of Research Papers
C. Novels: Love at Second Sight D. The Benefits of History Reading
C
When you watch a great film, there’s always a great mix of everything you enjoy: Explosions! Exotic (异国的) locations! Amazing stunts (特技)! And all of it stars famous A-list actors. However, all that could soon be changed.
Hollywood was rocked recently by an AI program called Sora. All you need to do is type in a description of what you want to watch, and it creates a video up to one minute long. This is possible because the programme has been fed thousands of hours of existing videos, searched through them for patterns, and then used this learning to create new content. As it develops, this technology could allow filmmakers to greatly expand their creativity. Simply give the computer program a script (脚本), tell it what actors you want, and it will create a movie for you. This will make it much cheaper to make films. AI might even help to create films tailored to personal tastes by analyzing viewing history and making a custom movie.
Amazing developments in AI could fuel a new era of filmmaking. However, there are concerns. Many argue that AI can’t be truly creative, as humans are. AI expert Bernard Marr writes, “No matter how impressive a piece of computer-created artwork might be, it’s always built from blocks carved out of the data that’s used to train it.”
AI actors could lead to a flood of poor quality, cheap films. As AI films copy and remix data from each other, researchers warn that this could lead to a “downward spiral”, where films become more similar and more boring over time.
“Human emotion must always come first,” says Avatar director James Cameron. AI actors may never recreate the complexity (复杂) of emotions that humans can. They will probably stay trapped in the “uncanny valley” — the uncomfortable feeling we get when we see something that’s almost — but not quite — human.
8. Why is Sora mentioned in the text?
A. To explain the principles of AI filmmaking.
B. To highlight AI’s impact on filmmakers’ creativity.
C. To show how AI can change traditional filmmaking.
D. To introduce an AI program for creating films.
9 What is a possible concern about AI films?
A. They may cause copyright issues.
B. They may be much like each other.
C. They may change the way humans enjoy films.
D They may not be as impressive as human-made films.
10. How are people likely to feel about emotions created by AI actors?
A. Awkward. B. Natural. C. Relaxed. D. Shocked.
11. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Sora’s impact on Hollywood.
B. Creating your films with Sora.
C. AI’s Strengths and weaknesses in filmmaking.
D. Ensuring the quality of films with AI.
D
Hibernation (冬眠) is a classic topic of science fiction. In movies such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, or Passengers, crew members are put into a state of sleep to take year-long journeys to space. Now a new study from Washington University has shown that human hibernation may soon become a reality.
The research team carried out tests on rats — animals that do not naturally hibernate. They first identified a group of neurons (神经元) in a deep brain region, which were found to be related to controlling body temperature during hibernation. They showed that, in mice, these neurons could become more active using ultrasound (超声波), which was delivered through a helmet without causing an injury.
When receiving the ultrasound, the mice showed a drop in body temperature of about 3°C, and their heart rates fell by about 47%. When the ultrasound system was switched off, they woke up again. The result was “surprising and fascinating”, said Hong Chen, a professor who led the work.
Researchers are also trying to determine how to harness the power of hibernation to help humans. They believe that it could be key to deal with health conditions like heart disease, and Alzheimer’s. Furthermore, hibernation’s ability to slow aging, which was observed in bats, could benefit space exploration, enabling longer missions with less food requirements. Research in animals also suggests that bodies of hibernating astronauts might lose less bone and muscle, making them fit and ready to start challenging exploration soon after they wake up.
The scientists now plan to look at how lowered body temperature might affect the cognitive (认知的) abilities of humans. “Our next experiments will test working memory in monkeys. This is important because while astronauts physically hibernate as they fly into deep space, their brain still needs to be working,” said Chen.
12. How did researchers put rats into hibernation?
A. By reducing their body temperature.
B. By causing specific brain neurons to function.
C. By putting a regular helmet on them.
D. By using ultrasound through an operation.
13. What does the underlined word “harness” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Use. B. Challenge. C. Replace. D. Discover.
14 What advantage might hibernation bring to humans?
A. It improves people’s mental health.
B. It predicts a variety of heart diseases.
C. It helps astronauts keep physically fit.
D. It enables astronauts to build up muscle.
15. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To point out the significance of the study.
B. To bring out the focus of follow-up studies.
C. To discuss other factors affecting hibernation.
D. To explain practical applications of the finding.
第二节 七选五 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分。满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Wherever you go, you’ll notice the plastic crisis faced by the planet. Many people are now seeking creative solutions to this problem. ___16___ You can do this by building a vertical garden with recycled plastic bottles-a brilliant idea which can be adapted to suit almost any household in any environment.
An example from India shows how this inventive technique is truly changing lives.
The Mehra family from Amritsar were locally hot news last June when they showed off the vertical garden they had created at their home. The family used over 175, 000 plastic bottles to create the garden, fixing the bottles to the outside walls of their home and filling them with over 33 varieties of plants. The plants are watered using a simple drip system. ___17___
___18___ If you have a wall, you can have a vertical bottle garden. With space so limited around urban areas, this is a vital benefit, especially to urban and city-livers.
If you struggle with ordinary gardening due to joint or muscle problems, vertical gardening can help you enjoy caring for plants without having to bend too much. ___19___ Just enjoying the lovely view of these vertical gardens is a positive thing in itself, but the act of setting up and caring for one will help to create inner balance and have further calming benefits in a stressful world.
Whether you create your own small-scale vertical plastic garden at your home, or increasingly, whether large institutions get on board with the concept, every vertical garden created this way is recycling plastic which would otherwise be a pollutant, actively reducing local pollution. ___20___
A. You don’t need a lot of space.
B. Consequently, you feel a sense of your own worth.
C. The key is, what can be used to replace plastic products?
D. Incredibly, this has lowered the internal temperature of their home.
E. Besides, interaction with plants has a positive effect on mental health.
F. Additionally, vertical gardening offers advantages for physical health as well.
G. What if we put waste plastic to a good use and enriched lives at the same time?

Then, she would spend five minutes setting the dishes in a seemingly random (随意的) but in fact ____25____ order. Then the most important part: taking pictures. After that, she would choose one of the ____26____and click in the filter (滤镜) app. The food ____27____ looked 10 times more delicious than it really was, but we had no ____28____ to really enjoy it — it all went cold. Actually, Ella’s real life is much less elegant (优雅的). For example, she ____29____ to wash the dishes, so she leaves them in the sink for days.
Many people ______30______ others’ opinions to such an extent that they try too hard to please others. They find it hard to be ______31______ and to accept themselves, and thus they are afraid to show their real life on social media. What they are trying to prove is exactly what they ______32______ in reality. But this will not bring any change to reality, as they still follow the same old ______33______ of life.
If they really want an elegant life, they should put more ______34______ into achieving it. Being more confident, ______35______ themselves and trying their best to be better is much more meaningful than beautifying their life on social media.

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。
Alice had just been appointed in the multinational bank. After one month of severe training, today was her first day to go to work.
She got up a bit earlier than usual, and decided to skip her gym workout as she did not want to risk being tired or getting late to her office on her first day. She went through her morning routine and spent a lot of time in selecting what to wear. None of her dresses seemed to appeal to her—they were either a little too casual or too dull and she definitely wanted to make an impression right from the start. Finally she settled on the white embroidered (刺绣的) dress.
She waved bye to her mom and set off cheerfully towards the bus stop. But she saw a bus leaving the stop just as she crossed the street. Now she would have to wait for a good 15 minutes. 15 minutes passed and then 30 minutes and there was no sign of the bus. “It must be stuck in heavy traffic”, a kind lady who was also waiting for the bus told her. Hearing that, Alice got anxious. She had to reach her office on time. Then she saw a taxi approaching but when she tried to stop it, the taxi driver sped by without even taking a glance at her. Alice was wondering what she could do.
It was then that a car stopped near her and a man waved to her. The driver asked her where she was going and after Alice told him that she was going to the bank at Nariman Point, the man said “Oh, my office is in the nearby building. Can I give you a lift?” Alice hesitated for a moment and got into the car. They exchanged names and began to talk for a while. Then the driver switched on the radio and was absorbed in the song. Alice looked out of the window and imagined her first day at work, worrying whether she was capable of the new job, and if she could get along well with her colleagues. After about ten minutes, Alice realized they were not on the familiar route to her office.
注意:续写词数应为150左右;
Paragraph 1:
She began to worry that she might get into the car of a bad man.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Then the car turned around a corner and Alice saw the tall building where her office was unexpectedly.

So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct (不同的) from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my academic fields for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.
To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.
What surprised me the most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting. I learned about life in different countries, as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul.
4 What did the author do to wipe out the anxiety?
A. He drowned it in chocolate. B. He conducted an experiment.
C. He slept on the sofa leisurely. D. He escaped into a fantasy world.
5. What was the author’s attitude towards reading in paragraph 2?
A. Reading novels was not attractive to the author.
B. Reading a good book was time well spent.
C. He was too busy to take good care of his books.
D. The Harry Potter book wasn’t as good as expected.
6. How did the New Year’s resolution benefit the author?
A. More sympathy went out to him.
B. His moral values were strengthened.
C. He learned much about religious diversity.
D. He gained new insight into his academic fields.
7. What’s the best title of the text?
A. Reading: A Lifelong Hobby B. The Power of Research Papers
C. Novels: Love at Second Sight D. The Benefits of History Reading
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. C

When you watch a great film, there’s always a great mix of everything you enjoy: Explosions! Exotic (异国的) locations! Amazing stunts (特技)! And all of it stars famous A-list actors. However, all that could soon be changed.
Hollywood was rocked recently by an AI program called Sora. All you need to do is type in a description of what you want to watch, and it creates a video up to one minute long. This is possible because the programme has been fed thousands of hours of existing videos, searched through them for patterns, and then used this learning to create new content. As it develops, this technology could allow filmmakers to greatly expand their creativity. Simply give the computer program a script (脚本), tell it what actors you want, and it will create a movie for you. This will make it much cheaper to make films. AI might even help to create films tailored to personal tastes by analyzing viewing history and making a custom movie.
Amazing developments in AI could fuel a new era of filmmaking. However, there are concerns. Many argue that AI can’t be truly creative, as humans are. AI expert Bernard Marr writes, “No matter how impressive a piece of computer-created artwork might be, it’s always built from blocks carved out of the data that’s used to train it.”
AI actors could lead to a flood of poor quality, cheap films. As AI films copy and remix data from each other, researchers warn that this could lead to a “downward spiral”, where films become more similar and more boring over time.
“Human emotion must always come first,” says Avatar director James Cameron. AI actors may never recreate the complexity (复杂) of emotions that humans can. They will probably stay trapped in the “uncanny valley” — the uncomfortable feeling we get when we see something that’s almost — but not quite — human.
8. Why is Sora mentioned in the text?
A. To explain the principles of AI filmmaking.
B. To highlight AI’s impact on filmmakers’ creativity.
C. To show how AI can change traditional filmmaking.
D. To introduce an AI program for creating films.
9. What is a possible concern about AI films?
A. They may cause copyright issues.
B. They may be much like each other.
C. They may change the way humans enjoy films.
D. They may not be as impressive as human-made films.
10. How are people likely to feel about emotions created by AI actors?
A. Awkward. B. Natural. C. Relaxed. D. Shocked.
11. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Sora’s impact on Hollywood.
B. Creating your films with Sora.
C. AI’s Strengths and weaknesses in filmmaking.
D. Ensuring the quality of films with AI.

Hibernation (冬眠) is a classic topic of science fiction. In movies such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, or Passengers, crew members are put into a state of sleep to take year-long journeys to space. Now a new study from Washington University has shown that human hibernation may soon become a reality.
The research team carried out tests on rats — animals that do not naturally hibernate. They first identified a group of neurons (神经元) in a deep brain region, which were found to be related to controlling body temperature during hibernation. They showed that, in mice, these neurons could become more active using ultrasound (超声波), which was delivered through a helmet without causing an injury.
When receiving the ultrasound, the mice showed a drop in body temperature of about 3°C, and their heart rates fell by about 47%. When the ultrasound system was switched off, they woke up again. The result was “surprising and fascinating”, said Hong Chen, a professor who led the work.
Researchers are also trying to determine how to harness the power of hibernation to help humans. They believe that it could be key to deal with health conditions like heart disease, and Alzheimer’s. Furthermore, hibernation’s ability to slow aging, which was observed in bats, could benefit space exploration, enabling longer missions with less food requirements. Research in animals also suggests that bodies of hibernating astronauts might lose less bone and muscle, making them fit and ready to start challenging exploration soon after they wake up.
The scientists now plan to look at how lowered body temperature might affect the cognitive (认知的) abilities of humans. “Our next experiments will test working memory in monkeys. This is important because while astronauts physically hibernate as they fly into deep space, their brain still needs to be working,” said Chen.
12. How did researchers put rats into hibernation?
A. By reducing their body temperature.
B. By causing specific brain neurons to function.
C. By putting a regular helmet on them.
D. By using ultrasound through an operation.
13. What does the underlined word “harness” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Use. B. Challenge. C. Replace. D. Discover.
14. What advantage might hibernation bring to humans?
A. It improves people’s mental health.
B. It predicts a variety of heart diseases.
C. It helps astronauts keep physically fit.
D. It enables astronauts to build up muscle.
15. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To point out the significance of the study.
B. To bring out the focus of follow-up studies.
C. To discuss other factors affecting hibernation.
D. To explain practical applications of the finding.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章介绍了一项来自华盛顿大学的研究,显示人类冬眠可能很快成为现实。研究人员认为,利用冬眠的力量可能有助于解决心脏病和阿尔茨海默病等健康问题,并在太空探索中带来好处,如减少食物需求和保护骨骼肌肉。他们计划进一步研究降低体温对人类认知能力的影响。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“They first identified a group of neurons (神经元) in a deep brain region, which were found to be involved in controlling body temperature during hibernation. They showed that, in mice, these neurons could be stimulated using ultrasound (超声波), which was delivered through a helmet without causing an injury. (他们首先确定了大脑深部区域的一组神经元,这些神经元被发现与冬眠期间控制体温有关。他们证明,在老鼠身上,可以用超声波刺激这些神经元,超声波通过头盔传递而不会造成伤害)”以及第三段中“When receiving the ultrasound, the mice showed a drop in body temperature of about 3°C, and their heart rates fell by about 47%. When the ultrasound system was switched off, they woke up again.(当接受超声波时,小鼠的体温下降了约3°C,心率下降了约47%。当超声波系统被关闭时,他们又醒了)”可知,研究者首先确定老鼠大脑中控制体温相关的神经元,通过超声波刺激这些神经元,导致老鼠体温下降,由此进入冬眠。由此推断通过刺激老鼠大脑中的神经元可以让老鼠冬眠。故选B。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段划线词后的内容“the power of hibernation to help humans(冬眠帮助人类的力量)”以及后文“They believe that it could be key to addressing health conditions like heart disease, and Alzheimer’s. (他们认为,这可能是解决心脏病和阿尔茨海默病等健康问题的关键)”可知,研究者正在研究使用冬眠来帮助人类解决心脏病和阿尔茨海默病等健康问题,故人类正在努力尝试利用冬眠。故划线词与A选项“Use.(利用)”为同义词。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Research in animals also suggests that bodies of hibernating astronauts might lose less bone and muscle, making them fit and ready to start challenging exploration soon after they wake up. (对动物的研究也表明,冬眠的宇航员的身体可能会失去更少的骨骼和肌肉,使他们在醒来后很快就能开始具有挑战性的探索)”可知,冬眠的宇航员的身体可能会损失更少的骨骼肌肉,使他们在苏醒后能够保持健康,并且可以立即开始具有挑战性的探索任务即冬眠帮助宇航员保持身体健康。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Our next experiments will test working memory in monkeys. This is important because while astronauts physically hibernate as they fly into deep space, their brain still needs to be working,” said Chen.(“我们的下一个实验将测试猴子的工作记忆。这很重要,因为当宇航员在太空深处飞行时,他们的身体处于冬眠状态,他们的大脑仍然需要工作。”Chen说)”可知,最后一段强调的是下一阶段将在猴子身上展开研究,由此最后一段的目的是引出后续研究的重点。故选B。

The plants are watered using a simple drip system. ___17___
___18___ If you have a wall, you can have a vertical bottle garden. With space so limited around urban areas, this is a vital benefit, especially to urban and city-livers.
If you struggle with ordinary gardening due to joint or muscle problems, vertical gardening can help you enjoy caring for plants without having to bend too much. ___19___ Just enjoying the lovely view of these vertical gardens is a positive thing in itself, but the act of setting up and caring for one will help to create inner balance and have further calming benefits in a stressful world.
Whether you create your own small-scale vertical plastic garden at your home, or increasingly, whether large institutions get on board with the concept, every vertical garden created this way is recycling plastic which would otherwise be a pollutant, actively reducing local pollution. ___20___
A. You don’t need a lot of space.
B. Consequently, you feel a sense of your own worth.
C. The key is, what can be used to replace plastic products?

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。
Alice had just been appointed in the multinational bank. After one month of severe training, today was her first day to go to work.
She got up a bit earlier than usual, and decided to skip her gym workout as she did not want to risk being tired or getting late to her office on her first day. She went through her morning routine and spent a lot of time in selecting what to wear. None of her dresses seemed to appeal to her—they were either a little too casual or too dull and she definitely wanted to make an impression right from the start. Finally she settled on the white embroidered (刺绣的) dress.
She waved bye to her mom and set off cheerfully towards the bus stop. But she saw a bus leaving the stop just as she crossed the street. Now she would have to wait for a good 15 minutes. 15 minutes passed and then 30 minutes and there was no sign of the bus. “It must be stuck in heavy traffic”, a kind lady who was also waiting for the bus told her. Hearing that, Alice got anxious. She had to reach her office on time. Then she saw a taxi approaching but when she tried to stop it, the taxi driver sped by without even taking a glance at her. Alice was wondering what she could do.
It was then that a car stopped near her and a man waved to her. The driver asked her where she was going and after Alice told him that she was going to the bank at Nariman Point, the man said “Oh, my office is in the nearby building. Can I give you a lift?” Alice hesitated for a moment and got into the car. They exchanged names and began to talk for a while. Then the driver switched on the radio and was absorbed in the song. Alice looked out of the window and imagined her first day at work, worrying whether she was capable of the new job, and if she could get along well with her colleagues. After about ten minutes, Alice realized they were not on the familiar route to her office.
注意:续写词数应为150左右;
Paragraph 1:
She began to worry that she might get into the car of a bad man.

Paragraph 2:
Then the car turned around a corner and Alice saw the tall building where her office was unexpectedly.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
She began to worry that she might get into the car of a bad man. So she asked cautiously whether they were going to her bank. The driver said that they took a new shortcut, as there was usually heavy traffic on the other one at this hour, and continued his song. That made some sense and Alice didn't say anything more. Another fifteen minutes passed, and the road was even stranger for her. That man was driving speedily and Alice became more and more anxious. She decided that when the car next stopped at the traffic lights, she would jump out.
Paragraph 2:
Then the car turned around a corner and Alice saw the tall building where her office was unexpectedly. She breathed a sigh of relief. Within minutes, they reached the gate of the building. "Here we are!" the driver pulled up and said. Alice got out of the car, her face turning red. She felt quite sorry for having doubted the driver. She believed there were indeed more kind people in the world. She said, "Thank you very much!", with a big smile, and hurried to her office with great expectation. She knew she would have a good day.
