For example, The Tortoise and the Hare is a fable. That fable tells people it is not wise to show off. It is wise to work hard. Most fables have animals in them. The animals can talk. Of course in real life animals can’t talk. The animals often do foolish things. For example, in one fable there is a crow. It wants to get a piece of delicious fruit. It takes it from a garden. And it gets it. But then as the crow soars, it shows off. It opens its mouth to shout, “Look! I get the best fruit.” But of course the crow loses the fruit. It falls out of its mouth because it opens its mouth to shout. Fables have a moral. A moral is the lesson it teaches. The fable about the crow makes an important point. It tells you that people should be careful.

“AI police” have significantly enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of public security operations in detecting, preventing and solving crimes in Kunshan city, Jiangsu province. In many cases, the Kunshan Public Security Bureau’s “Kunpeng Team” or “AI Team” has played a crucial role.
With a decade’s accumulated data and over 220 algorithm (算法) models, the AI police can smartly assist in many aspects. “The added investigative experience has contributed a lot to police operations, allowing even freshmen officers to function as seasoned detectives,” said Xu Chenbo, an officer from Kunpeng Team.
AI police’s roles are highlighted especially in three aspects: combating telecommunications frauds (诈骗), tackling counterfeiting (造假) and protecting intellectual property rights.
As for the telecom frauds, Deputy Captain He Yongliang reported that AI police have helped resolve 609 cases, recovering 32.4 million yuan and improving the recovery rate by 62%. In an instance, AI police traced an illegal fund transfer of 500,000 yuan within 10 minutes after a fraud report of 980,000 yuan. They traced 87 related accounts and identified 57 suspects within 8 hours, leading to the arrest of 9 suspects and recovery of 200,000 yuan for the victim within three days.
Spotting counterfeits were done by image comparison, microscopic inspection and secret markings in the past. However, due to meaner cheating tricks, traditional methods are no longer guaranteed to differentiate fakes from the real articles. Zeng Cheng, the head of Kunshan police’s high-quality innovation center, said that AI’s integrated approaches are very good at reading databases and making comparisons of images at the same time. “Many customers and manufacturers have seen the benefit of AI-driven anti-counterfeit systems with an accuracy of 96.4%,” Zeng noted.
24. According to paragraph 2, how does AI’s database help young officers?
A. By reporting regional crimes. B. By reducing their workload.
C. By consulting senior detectives. D. By bridging the gap of experience.
25. Why does the author list the figures in paragraph 4?
A. To illustrate the vital role of AI anti-fraud systems.
B. To detail the shocking severity of telecom crimes.
C. To criticize the inefficient work of the policemen.
D. To praise the quick response of the police stations.
26. Which way is used by AI police to tackle counterfeiting?
A. Leaving marks on real articles. B. Transferring suspicious funds.
C. Analyzing data while making comparisons. D. Making inspections with telescopes.
27. What is the most possible topic to be talked about in the following paragraph?
A. Techniques of detecting fakes.
B. Measures of protecting real articles.
C. People’s remarks on AI police’s work.
D. AI’s role in protecting intellectual property rights.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了AI警察在昆山市提高公共安全运营效率及其作用。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“With a decade’s accumulated data and over 220 algorithm (算法) models, the AI police can smartly assist in many aspects. “The added investigative experience has contributed a lot to police operations, allowing even freshmen officers to function as seasoned detectives,” said Xu Chenbo, an officer from Kunpeng Team. (凭借十年积累的数据和超过220个算法模型,AI警队能够在许多方面提供智能辅助。“新增的侦查经验为警务行动做出了巨大贡献,甚至让新入职的警官也能像经验丰富的侦探一样行事,”昆鹏团队的警官徐晨波说。)”可知,AI通过提供经验和知识帮助年轻警员弥补经验上的不足。故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段“As for the telecom frauds, Deputy Captain He Yongliang reported that AI police have helped resolve 609 cases, recovering 32.4 million yuan and improving the recovery rate by 62%. In an instance, AI police traced an illegal fund transfer of 500,000 yuan within 10 minutes after a fraud report of 980,000 yuan. They traced 87 related accounts and identified 57 suspects within 8 hours, leading to the arrest of 9 suspects and recovery of 200,000 yuan for the victim within three days. (在电信诈骗方面,副队长何永亮报告称,AI警队已帮助解决609起案件,追回3240万元人民币,并将追回率提高了62%。在一个案例中,AI警队在接到一起98万元的诈骗报案后10分钟内,就追踪到了一笔50万元的非法资金转移。他们在8小时内追踪到87个相关账户,并确定了57名嫌疑人,最终在三天内逮捕了9名嫌疑人,并为受害者追回了20万元。)”可知,这些数据是为了展示AI反欺诈系统的重要作用。故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的“Zeng Cheng, the head of Kunshan police’s high-quality innovation center, said that AI’s integrated approaches are very good at reading databases and making comparisons of images at the same time. (昆山警方高质量创新中心负责人曾诚表示,人工智能的综合方法非常擅长读取数据库并同时进行图像比较。)”可知,这表明AI警察通过分析数据库并同时进行图像比较来打击假冒伪劣商品。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的““Many customers and manufacturers have seen the benefit of AI-driven anti-counterfeit systems with an accuracy of 96.4%,” Zeng noted. (“许多客户和制造商看到了由人工智能驱动的防伪系统带来的好处,准确率达到96.4%,”曾诚指出。)”可知,防伪系统与“保护知识产权”有关,因此接下来的段落最有可能讨论的是AI在保护知识产权方面的作用。故选D。
C
Animals have an internal clock that regulates their body processes in a 24-hour cycle but exposure to mismatched environments can disturb this rhythm. A research team at the University of Stirling, led by PhD student Kristine Gandia, studied giant pandas to understand such disturbances.
“The seasonal lifestyle makes a panda a good model for us,” says Gandia, “which has resulted in behavioral case studies across various locations, offering insights into animal habits and zoology.” Besides, pandas are usually found in a latitudinal range of 26 to 42 degrees north, which can be mirrored in the southern hemisphere (半球) with similar conditions essential for life.
The research team conducted a comprehensive study on 11 giant pandas that were housed in six different zoos scattered across various parts of the world. Some zoos were within the giant pandas’ native ranges while the others were far away.
“Our team documented the behaviors of the subjects, aiming to identify and categorize indicating actions of their well-being. These indicators were divided into three categories: positive, neutral, and negative. Positive behaviors are comprised of activities which are generally seen as signs of delight and content. Neutral behaviors included daily routines for basic survival. And negative behaviors were identified as repeated movements in a short time, which deviated (偏离) from the norm and could suggest stress or discomfort,” Gandia elaborated.
The research results suggested that wild creatures might be experiencing “jet lag” when they are housed in distant zoos. Similar to humans’ jet lag, it occurs when the internal biological clocks of the pandas do not keep pace with the environmental conditions of their new surroundings. This mismatch can lead to a variety of side effects on their overall fitness and behavior. Gandia’s observations highlight the importance of considering the natural habitats and biological rhythms of animals when planning a zoo, too. “So maybe someone else is to blame for the dark circles around the pandas’ eyes, not the little cuties themselves,” Gandia joked.
28. What is the concern of the study conducted by Gandia and her team?
A. Pandas’ population. B. Animals’ body clocks.
C. Animals’ popularity. D. Pandas’ distribution.
29. What does paragraph 2 want to show about giant pandas?
A. Mysterious seasonal lifestyles. B. Adorable physical appearances.
C. Reasons for being study subjects. D. Special bonds with the researchers.
30. Which kind of behavior most possibly implies a blue mood of animals?
A. Pacing up and down. B. Searching for preys.
C. Playing with partners. D. Parenting newborn babies.
31. Which can be the best title for the passage?
A. Distant Habitats — the No. 1 Trigger for Animals’ Extinctions
B. Jet Lag — Not an Annoyance Unique to Humans
C. Giant Pandas — Best Choices for Zoological Studies
D. Dark Eyes — Vital Indicators for Environmental Disruptions
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以大熊猫为研究对象,介绍了生物钟的概念以及生物钟不匹配可能对动物产生的影响,同时强调了在规划动物园时考虑动物自然栖息地和生物节律的重要性。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Animals have an internal clock that regulates their body processes in a 24-hour cycle but exposure to mismatched environments can disturb this rhythm. A research team at the University of Stirling, led by PhD student Kristine Gandia, studied giant pandas to understand such disturbances. (动物体内有一个生物钟,调节着它们24小时的身体活动周期,但置身于与自身节律不匹配的环境中会扰乱这一节律。由斯特林大学博士生Kristine Gandia带领的一支研究团队研究了大熊猫,以了解这种节律扰乱现象。)”可知,Gandia及其团队的研究关注的是动物的生物钟。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段““The seasonal lifestyle makes a panda a good model for us,” says Gandia, “which has resulted in behavioral case studies across various locations, offering insights into animal habits and zoology.” Besides, pandas are usually found in a latitudinal range of 26 to 42 degrees north, which can be mirrored in the southern hemisphere with similar conditions essential for life.(“大熊猫的季节性生活习性使其成为我们的理想研究模型,” Gandia说,“这促成了在不同地点进行的行为案例研究,让我们得以深入了解动物的习性和动物学。”此外,大熊猫通常生活在北纬26度至42度之间,在南半球也有相似生命必需条件的对应纬度区域。)”可知,第二段主要解释了大熊猫为何能成为研究对象。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“And negative behaviors were identified as repeated movements in a short time, which deviated from the norm and could suggest stress or discomfort, (而消极行为则被确定为短时间内重复进行的动作,这些动作偏离了常态,可能表明动物感到压力或不适。)”可知,短时间内重复进行的动作是消极行为,可能表明动物情绪低落。选项A“Pacing up and down (来回踱步)”属于短时间内重复进行的动作。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知,文章第一段提到Gandia及其团队研究了大熊猫的生物钟,以了解置身于与自身节律不匹配的环境中会扰乱动物节律的现象,第二段和第三段进一步解释了生物钟不匹配对动物的影响,第四段提到研究人员正在开发一种方法来识别动物的消极行为,以判断它们是否感到压力或不适,最后一段提到动物园规划者正在考虑如何更好地模拟动物的自然栖息地,以减少生物钟不匹配对动物的影响。这些内容都围绕着时差反应对动物的影响这一主题展开。另外,文章提到时差反应不仅影响人类,也影响动物,因此选项B“Jet Lag — Not an Annoyance Unique to Humans (时差反应——不仅仅是人类的烦恼)”能够概括文章的主旨。故选B。
D
Demanding days seem designed to test our self-control. We all need to rely on willpower to avoid temptations and override unwanted thoughts or impulses. The popular psychological theory proposed that willpower resembled a kind of battery. With each exercise of self-control, you exhausted this resource. Without a chance to recharge, that resource ran low, making it harder to maintain self-control. This process was known as “ego depletion”.
However, psychologist Veronika Job published a study that questioned “ego depletion”, showing it depended on people’s underlying beliefs. Job divided participants into two types: those with a “limited” view of willpower and those with a “non-limited” view, based on a prior questionnaire. She then gave the participants laboratory tests examining mental focus, which was considered to depend on the reserves of willpower. The study found people with a limited mindset tended to perform exactly as “ego depletion” would predict but non-limited individuals did not. Those who believed willpower was easily depleted saw their self-control decrease, while those believing in “mental stamina (耐力)” experienced no ego depletion.
Subsequent debates about the reliability of the laboratory tests emerged, but Job’s work demonstrated mindsets significantly impacted real-life outcomes. Her follow-up study revealed that after completing demanding tasks, most participants recovered to some degree overnight. Those with non-limited mindsets actually experienced an increase in productivity the following day, as if energized by the extra pressure.
If you already have a non-limited mindset, these findings might offer self-satisfaction. For those with limited mindsets, hope is not lost. Learning about this science can help shift beliefs. Sharing this knowledge with others can further consolidate this shift. Moreover, recollecting times of engaging in tiring yet enjoyable tasks naturally shifts people’s beliefs toward non-limited mindsets, as they see proof of their mental stamina. To provide yourself with further evidence, you can conduct small self-control tests. As you realize your willpower’s growth, you’ll find resisting temptations and distractions easier.
While immediate miracles aren’t guaranteed, perseverance will lead to a changed mindset and increased self-control, advancing actions toward personal goals.
32. What can we learn from Job’s studies?
A. Willpower is a fixed trait that cannot be changed.
B. Mindsets greatly impact one’s self-control abilities.
C. Ego depletion changes people’s underlying beliefs.
D. Demanding tasks negatively influence mental focus.
33. What does the underlined word “consolidate” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Represent. B. Strengthen. C. Detect. D. Relieve.
34. What does the author suggest for those with limited mindsets?
A. Engaging in effortless and pleasant tasks.
B. Avoiding impulses and extra pressure.
C. Learning about the science to shift their beliefs.
D. Focusing on external rewards to seek self-satisfaction.
35. Which of the following is a natural consequence of realizing one’s willpower’s growth?
A. A growing desire to pursue instant miracles.
B. A sharp increase in self-control tests conducted.
C. Crying need to seek proof of one’s mental stamina.
D. Better ability to resist temptations and distractions.
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一位心理学家Veronika Job 通过研究对“自我损耗”这一理论提出质疑,由此介绍了一些方法来建立意志力不受限制的心态。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“However, psychologist Veronika Job published a study that questioned “ego depletion”, showing it depended on people’s underlying beliefs. Job divided participants into two types: those with a “limited” view of willpower and those with a “non-limited” view, based on a prior questionnaire. She then gave the participants laboratory tests examining mental focus, which was considered to depend on the reserves of willpower. The study found people with a limited mindset tended to perform exactly as “ego depletion” would predict but non-limited individuals did not. Those who believed willpower was easily depleted saw their self-control decrease, while those believing in “mental stamina (耐力)” experienced no ego depletion.(然而,心理学家Veronika Job发表了一项质疑“自我损耗”的研究,表明它取决于人们的潜在信念。根据之前的问卷,Job将参与者分为两类:认为意志力“受限”的人和认为意志力 “非受限”的人。然后,她对参与者进行了实验室测试,检查他们的精神集中情况,这被认为取决于意志力的储备。研究发现,思维受限的人往往表现得与“自我损耗”所预测的完全一致,但非受限的人则不然。那些认为意志力很容易耗尽的人会看到他们的自我控制能力下降,而那些相信“精神耐力”的人则没有自我耗尽)”可知,人的心态、信念对意志力、自控能力有着很大的影响。故选B。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段划线词所在句及前两句“For those with limited mindsets, hope is not lost. Learning about this science can help shift beliefs. Sharing this knowledge with others can further consolidate this shift.(对于那些思维模式受限的人来说,希望并没有破灭。了解这门科学可以帮助改变人们的信念。与他人分享这一知识可以进一步consolidate这一转变)”可知,划线词前有further“进一步”,在句意上表达对前文内容的递进、补充,因此应指在帮助人们转变信念的基础上对这一转变的巩固、加强。由此猜测,划线词意为“巩固、加强”,与strengthen同义。故选B。
【34题详解】

第二节(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。
That boarding the plane with a VIP status can help you avoid standing in a line has become evidence of how our society has commercialized the act of waiting. ____36____ This phenomenon is not limited to airlines; it’s also in museums, online purchases and amusement parks. So since when has the act of waiting got such a bad reputation?
____37____ We enjoy the anticipation like a child waiting for Christmas or summer vacation. Or a person waiting in line to see his favorite singer perform in concert relishes the night more because of the time invested in getting into the venue.
As our world has sped up, this desirable balance between instant and delayed satisfaction is at ever greater odds with the current expectations of many people. ____38____ Personally speaking, when we look down upon the act of waiting, we risk losing an important part of our shared humanity. From the social perspective, being forced to wait is often seen as a sign of being less well off or “not in the game”. It encourages privileged impatience and disrespect for those who are caught waiting. ____39____
Of course, we should not have to wait patiently for everything. For example, there are times when injustice deserves immediate action. ____40____ However, in a larger context, we are supposed to understand the act of waiting not only as a necessary evil but also as an important function which allows us to participate fully with our fellow travelers in life.
A. Urging individuals to be patient can sometimes serve as a deliberate obstacle to progress.
B. The act of waiting can enhance our appreciation of something, sometimes.
C. Patience is essential in maintaining a positive experience.
D. The more you pay, the sooner you can get on the plane.
E. Waiting is a waste of time without real purpose.
F. This thinking is harmful, making us see those who wait as different or unimportant.
G. This change has a negative impact on mental health both individually and collectively.
【答案】36. D 37. B 38. G 39. F 40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了现代社会中等待的价值及其被商业化的现象,并反思了这种趋势对个人和社会的影响。
【36题详解】
由上文“That boarding the plane with a VIP status can help you avoid standing in a line has become evidence of how our society has commercialized the act of waiting. (以VIP身份登机可以帮助你避免排队,这证明了我们的社会是如何将等待行为商业化的。)”可知,这里描述的是优先权如何影响等待的情况,空处应该与上文形成逻辑延续,说明支付更多可以更快登机的现象。所以D选项“The more you pay, the sooner you can get on the plane. (你付的钱越多,就能越快登机)”能承接上文,符合语境。故选D。
【37题详解】
由下文“We enjoy the anticipation like a child waiting for Christmas or summer vacation. Or a person waiting in line to see his favorite singer perform in concert relishes the night more because of the time invested in getting into the venue. (我们享受这种期待,就像孩子等待圣诞节或暑假一样。或者一个人排队去看他最喜欢的歌手的演唱会表演,因为在进入场地上投入了时间,所以他更享受这个夜晚。)”可知,这里提到等待在过去是有正面价值的,空处应该引出下文,强调等待有时候能够增加对事物的欣赏。所以B选项“The act of waiting can enhance our appreciation of something, sometimes. (等待有时可以增强我们对某件事的欣赏。)”能引出下文,符合语境。故选B。
【38题详解】
由上文“As our world has sped up, this desirable balance between instant and delayed satisfaction is at ever greater odds with the current expectations of many people. (随着世界加速运转,即时满足与延迟满足之间这种令人愉悦的平衡与当前许多人期望之间的矛盾日益加剧。)”及下文“Personally speaking, when we look down upon the act of waiting, we risk losing an important part of our shared humanity. (就个人而言,当我们轻视等待的行为时,我们就有失去人性重要部分的风险。)”可知,这里提到的是即时满足与延迟满足之间的矛盾,以及轻视等待可能导致的后果,空处应承上启下,强调这种倾向对个人和社会的影响。所以G选项“This change has a negative impact on mental health both individually and collectively. (这种变化对个人和集体的心理健康产生了负面影响。)”能承上启下,符合语境。故选G。
【39题详解】
由上文“From the social perspective, being forced to wait is often seen as a sign of being less well off or “not in the game”. It encourages privileged impatience and disrespect for those who are caught waiting. (从社会角度来看,被迫等待常常被视为经济状况较差或“不在局内”的标志。它助长了特权阶层的不耐烦和对那些处于等待中的人的不尊重。)”可知,这里讨论的是等待的社会含义,以及不尊重等待的人所带来的问题,空处应该强调这种思维模式的危害。所以F选项“This thinking is harmful, making us see those who wait as different or unimportant. (这种想法是有害的,让我们把等待的人看作是不同或不重要的人。)”能承上启下,符合语境。故选F。
【40题详解】
由上文“Of course, we should not have to wait patiently for everything. For example, there are times when injustice deserves immediate action. (当然,我们不需要耐心等待一切。例如,有时不公正的行为需要立即采取行动。)”可知,这里提到等待并非总是消极的,有时它是必要且有价值的,空处应该承接上文,强调耐心的坏处。所以A选项“Urging individuals to be patient can sometimes serve as a deliberate obstacle to progress. (敦促个人保持耐心有时会成为进步的障碍。)”能承接上文,符合语境。故选A。

第二节
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。
Last April, Madrigal paid a visit to his mother who resided in the countryside. As he prepared to return home, Madrigal’s mother glanced at the darkening sky and spotted the signs of an approaching storm. Anxious for her son’s safety, she urged him to drive with ultimate care and ring her once he got home.
Madrigal, keeping his mother’s advice in mind, cautiously approached the main road. Shortly after, heavy rain began to pour down. Anxious to reach home, he accelerated his driving. Two hours into his journey, he encountered a rough mountain road that had been submerged by a creek (小溪). Madrigal, driving a four-wheel drive truck, believed he would manage everything. At that instant, he failed to recognize that this belief would prove to be a disastrous error.
As he was crossing the creek, a misfortune occurred: The swift waters took hold of his vehicle, pushing it off the road and down a rocky creek bed. The truck finally came to a stop about 80 feet away. Madrigal’s troubles only grew from there as the water had somehow angled the truck against the creek bank at a 45-degree, making it difficult for him to open the driver’s side door. Trapped inside with muddy water rising quickly, Madrigal was certain he was going to die. Shaking with fear, he was at a loss about what to do.
Directly behind Madrigal on the road were Henry, a delivery worker, and his nephew Fred, on the road to deliver furniture to customers in the countryside. They were present when the tragic event occurred. As Madrigal’s truck came to a standstill in the middle of the creek, Henry promptly took action. He first secured a rope from his vehicle’s back and used it to ensure he could safely approach the truck.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Afterwards, he faced Fred and demanded with a shout,“Rock! Pass me a rock!”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Madrigal was about to express his gratitude when his phone started to ring.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Afterwards, he faced Fred and demanded with a shout,“Rock! Pass me a rock!” Fred followed the instructions without any delay. Henry repeatedly struck the window with the rock, yet achieved minimal results. Henry then yelled at Madrigal to step aside from the window. He steadied himself on the truck, leaned back, and hurled the rock at the window. Ultimately, the glass shattered, and Henry put his hands in through the remaining pieces of glass. To their relief, Madrigal extended his hand towards Henry and was pulled to safety. The pair made it back to a secure location.
Madrigal was about to express his gratitude when his phone started to ring. Trembling, Madrigal reached for his phone and held it to his ear. His mother’s worried voice echoed through the line, “Have you arrived home? Is everything alright?” The sound of her concern brought tears to Madrigal’s eyes. Madrigal struggled to speak as he recounted the accident to his mother and tried to soothe her. After ending the call, he turned to Henry and Fred, expressing his heartfelt gratitude to them both. Despite the cold rain, a profound warmth surged through his heart, unlike anything he had ever felt before.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Madrigal在开车回家途中,遇到暴雨,在经过一条被小溪淹没崎岖山路时,车被洪水冲走,他被困在车内,面临生命危险。此时,送货工人Henry和他的侄子Fred路过,他们想办法救出了Madrigal的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“之后,他朝Fred喊道:‘石头!递给我一块石头!’”可知,第一段可描写Fred迅速按照指令行动,Henry用石头砸破玻璃,救出了Madrigal。
②由第二段首句内容“Madrigal正要表达感谢时,他的手机响了。”可知,第二段可描写Madrigal接通了电话,告知打电话的人自己获救的消息,并向Henry和Fred表达感谢。
2.续写线索:递石头——砸玻璃——救出——接电话——告诉母亲——感谢
3.词汇激活
行为类
①遵照指令:follow the instructions/obey the directions

“AI police” have significantly enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of public security operations in detecting, preventing and solving crimes in Kunshan city, Jiangsu province. In many cases, the Kunshan Public Security Bureau’s “Kunpeng Team” or “AI Team” has played a crucial role.
With a decade’s accumulated data and over 220 algorithm (算法) models, the AI police can smartly assist in many aspects. “The added investigative experience has contributed a lot to police operations, allowing even freshmen officers to function as seasoned detectives,” said Xu Chenbo, an officer from Kunpeng Team.
AI police’s roles are highlighted especially in three aspects: combating telecommunications frauds (诈骗), tackling counterfeiting (造假) and protecting intellectual property rights.
As for the telecom frauds, Deputy Captain He Yongliang reported that AI police have helped resolve 609 cases, recovering 32.4 million yuan and improving the recovery rate by 62%. In an instance, AI police traced an illegal fund transfer of 500,000 yuan within 10 minutes after a fraud report of 980,000 yuan. They traced 87 related accounts and identified 57 suspects within 8 hours, leading to the arrest of 9 suspects and recovery of 200,000 yuan for the victim within three days.
Spotting counterfeits were done by image comparison, microscopic inspection and secret markings in the past. However, due to meaner cheating tricks, traditional methods are no longer guaranteed to differentiate fakes from the real articles. Zeng Cheng, the head of Kunshan police’s high-quality innovation center, said that AI’s integrated approaches are very good at reading databases and making comparisons of images at the same time. “Many customers and manufacturers have seen the benefit of AI-driven anti-counterfeit systems with an accuracy of 96.4%,” Zeng noted.
24. According to paragraph 2, how does AI’s database help young officers?
A. By reporting regional crimes. B. By reducing their workload.
C. By consulting senior detectives. D. By bridging the gap of experience.
25. Why does the author list the figures in paragraph 4?
A. To illustrate the vital role of AI anti-fraud systems.
B. To detail the shocking severity of telecom crimes.
C. To criticize the inefficient work of the policemen.
D To praise the quick response of the police stations.
26. Which way is used by AI police to tackle counterfeiting?
A. Leaving marks on real articles. B. Transferring suspicious funds.
C. Analyzing data while making comparisons. D. Making inspections with telescopes.
27. What is the most possible topic to be talked about in the following paragraph?
A. Techniques of detecting fakes.
B. Measures of protecting real articles.
C. People’s remarks on AI police’s work.
D. AI’s role in protecting intellectual property rights.
C
Animals have an internal clock that regulates their body processes in a 24-hour cycle but exposure to mismatched environments can disturb this rhythm. A research team at the University of Stirling, led by PhD student Kristine Gandia, studied giant pandas to understand such disturbances.
“The seasonal lifestyle makes a panda a good model for us,” says Gandia, “which has resulted in behavioral case studies across various locations, offering insights into animal habits and zoology.” Besides, pandas are usually found in a latitudinal range of 26 to 42 degrees north, which can be mirrored in the southern hemisphere (半球) with similar conditions essential for life.
The research team conducted a comprehensive study on 11 giant pandas that were housed in six different zoos scattered across various parts of the world. Some zoos were within the giant pandas’ native ranges while the others were far away.
“Our team documented the behaviors of the subjects, aiming to identify and categorize indicating actions of their well-being. These indicators were divided into three categories: positive, neutral, and negative. Positive behaviors are comprised of activities which are generally seen as signs of delight and content. Neutral behaviors included daily routines for basic survival. And negative behaviors were identified as repeated movements in a short time, which deviated (偏离) from the norm and could suggest stress or discomfort,” Gandia elaborated.
The research results suggested that wild creatures might be experiencing “jet lag” when they are housed in distant zoos. Similar to humans’ jet lag, it occurs when the internal biological clocks of the pandas do not keep pace with the environmental conditions of their new surroundings. This mismatch can lead to a variety of side effects on their overall fitness and behavior. Gandia’s observations highlight the importance of considering the natural habitats and biological rhythms of animals when planning a zoo, too. “So maybe someone else is to blame for the dark circles around the pandas’ eyes, not the little cuties themselves,” Gandia joked.
28. What is the concern of the study conducted by Gandia and her team?
A. Pandas’ population. B. Animals’ body clocks.
C. Animals’ popularity. D. Pandas’ distribution.
29. What does paragraph 2 want to show about giant pandas?
A. Mysterious seasonal lifestyles. B. Adorable physical appearances.
C. Reasons for being study subjects. D. Special bonds with the researchers.
30. Which kind of behavior most possibly implies a blue mood of animals?
A. Pacing up and down. B. Searching for preys.
C. Playing with partners. D. Parenting newborn babies.
31. Which can be the best title for the passage?
A. Distant Habitats — the No. 1 Trigger for Animals’ Extinctions
B. Jet Lag — Not an Annoyance Unique to Humans
C. Giant Pandas — Best Choices for Zoological Studies
D Dark Eyes — Vital Indicators for Environmental Disruptions
D
Demanding days seem designed to test our self-control. We all need to rely on willpower to avoid temptations and override unwanted thoughts or impulses. The popular psychological theory proposed that willpower resembled a kind of battery. With each exercise of self-control, you exhausted this resource. Without a chance to recharge, that resource ran low, making it harder to maintain self-control. This process was known as “ego depletion”.
However, psychologist Veronika Job published a study that questioned “ego depletion”, showing it depended on people’s underlying beliefs. Job divided participants into two types: those with a “limited” view of willpower and those with a “non-limited” view, based on a prior questionnaire. She then gave the participants laboratory tests examining mental focus, which was considered to depend on the reserves of willpower. The study found people with a limited mindset tended to perform exactly as “ego depletion” would predict but non-limited individuals did not. Those who believed willpower was easily depleted saw their self-control decrease, while those believing in “mental stamina (耐力)” experienced no ego depletion.
Subsequent debates about the reliability of the laboratory tests emerged, but Job’s work demonstrated mindsets significantly impacted real-life outcomes. Her follow-up study revealed that after completing demanding tasks, most participants recovered to some degree overnight. Those with non-limited mindsets actually experienced an increase in productivity the following day, as if energized by the extra pressure.
If you already have a non-limited mindset, these findings might offer self-satisfaction. For those with limited mindsets, hope is not lost. Learning about this science can help shift beliefs. Sharing this knowledge with others can further consolidate this shift. Moreover, recollecting times of engaging in tiring yet enjoyable tasks naturally shifts people’s beliefs toward non-limited mindsets, as they see proof of their mental stamina. To provide yourself with further evidence, you can conduct small self-control tests. As you realize your willpower’s growth, you’ll find resisting temptations and distractions easier.
While immediate miracles aren’t guaranteed, perseverance will lead to a changed mindset and increased self-control, advancing actions toward personal goals.
32. What can we learn from Job’s studies?
A. Willpower is a fixed trait that cannot be changed.
B. Mindsets greatly impact one’s self-control abilities.
C. Ego depletion changes people’s underlying beliefs.
D. Demanding tasks negatively influence mental focus.
33. What does the underlined word “consolidate” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Represent. B. Strengthen. C. Detect. D. Relieve.
34. What does the author suggest for those with limited mindsets?
A. Engaging in effortless and pleasant tasks.
B. Avoiding impulses and extra pressure.
C. Learning about the science to shift their beliefs.
D. Focusing on external rewards to seek self-satisfaction.
35. Which of the following is a natural consequence of realizing one’s willpower’s growth?
A. A growing desire to pursue instant miracles.
B. A sharp increase in self-control tests conducted.
C. Crying need to seek proof of one’s mental stamina.
D. Better ability to resist temptations and distractions.

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。
Last April, Madrigal paid a visit to his mother who resided in the countryside. As he prepared to return home, Madrigal’s mother glanced at the darkening sky and spotted the signs of an approaching storm. Anxious for her son’s safety, she urged him to drive with ultimate care and ring her once he got home.
Madrigal, keeping his mother’s advice in mind, cautiously approached the main road. Shortly after, heavy rain began to pour down. Anxious to reach home, he accelerated his driving. Two hours into his journey, he encountered a rough mountain road that had been submerged by a creek (小溪). Madrigal, driving a four-wheel drive truck, believed he would manage everything. At that instant, he failed to recognize that this belief would prove to be a disastrous error.
As he was crossing the creek, a misfortune occurred: The swift waters took hold of his vehicle, pushing it off the road and down a rocky creek bed. The truck finally came to a stop about 80 feet away. Madrigal’s troubles only grew from there as the water had somehow angled the truck against the creek bank at a 45-degree, making it difficult for him to open the driver’s side door. Trapped inside with muddy water rising quickly, Madrigal was certain he was going to die. Shaking with fear, he was at a loss about what to do.
Directly behind Madrigal on the road were Henry, a delivery worker, and his nephew Fred, on the road to deliver furniture to customers in the countryside. They were present when the tragic event occurred. As Madrigal’s truck came to a standstill in the middle of the creek, Henry promptly took action. He first secured a rope from his vehicle’s back and used it to ensure he could safely approach the truck.
注意:
1. 续写词数应150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Afterwards, he faced Fred and demanded with a shout,“Rock! Pass me a rock!”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Madrigal was about to express his gratitude when his phone started to ring.
