【原文】 I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the Jazz concert last Friday. The notice in the papers said that people could buy tickets at the theatre box office in Richland Hills any day between ten thirty am and three pm. Last Monday I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for the bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. Thus I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Wednesday. On Thursday I happened to see a friend riding his motorbike. He took me to the box office when I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. I knew I would not have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and went back across the town. On Friday I wanted to go to the theater by train at first. I finally made the trip by taxi. It was expensive but I felt the concert would be worth hearing. The trip by taxi only took ten minutes. But it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theater, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason I quickly found was that they had already sold all the tickets.

Singer Katherine Goforth is using her voice to deliver joy and shine a light on the talents of people like herself who are “transgender artists”. Her popularity in music has earned the 33-year-old the True Voice Award hosted by the Washington National Opera (WNO). It was created to support and uplift opera singers who may share some special traits just like Katherine Goforth, who is a tenor (男高音).
Growing up surrounded by music, Katherine Goforth owes her success to her father. Goforth’s father is a musician and a former high school band teacher, who enjoys high popularity in students as well as their parents. “Music became a tool for me to fit in, to get to know people,” she told Boston Public Radio. As a graduate of the respectful Juilliard School in New York, Goforth has also attended many other top performing arts programs, including the Franz Schubert Institute in Austria, and performed all over the world.
The WNO launched the True Voice Award to promote inclusiveness in opera, which traditionally defines a singer’s gender by the sound of their voice rather than their identity. Goforth is a tenor, which is typically a male vocal category, but she performs female roles in operas. She is currently based in Portland, Oregon, and performs as a soloist in the Pacific Northwest region.
Goforth recently performed at a recital (音乐独奏会) held in her honor at the Kennedy Center in Washington. DC, home to the WNO. In an interview with the site Broadway World, she said of the award, “We have to imagine the futures we want to live in, and the art we make can be one way of doing that.” Just as the saying goes, we can’t judge a book by its cover. It is those brave and creative people who can offer us a glimpse into a diverse society.
24 What can be known about Goforth according to Paragraph 1?
A. Goforth wins various awards in the world. B. Goforth is one of the best singers worldwide.
C. Goforth is a unique artist in the singing field. D. Goforth’s talent can undoubtedly uplift people.
25. Why does the author mention Goforth’s father?
A. To promote Goforth’s popularity. B. To introduce her father to readers.
C. To praise her father for his achievements. D. To explain one reason for Goforth’s success.
26. Which of the following can best describe Goforth?
A. Remarkable and creative. B. Kind and persistent.
C. Optimistic and demanding. D. Unbeatable and generous.
27. What can be learned from Goforth’ s words in the last paragraph?
A. Art is used to improve our imagination. B. Art helps us get rid of what we don’t like.
C. Art can make us live whatever life we want. D. Art serves as a good way of shaping our life.

Maths phobia is older than you might think. A hundred years ago, German physicist Felix Auerbach, disappointed at the phenomenon and hoping to find ways to address it, wrote a little book called The Fear of Mathematics and How to Overcome It. Maths, he said, has so much to contribute to society that addressing this fear is a challenge of the highest importance.
Why do we fear mathematics? At heart, says Auerbach, it comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding of what maths is. The fear of messing up a calculation may be real, but the fact that there are many excellent mathematicians who are terrible at arithmetic proves that numeracy and mathematics aren’t the same thing. We understand this about writing literature. The art of creating an appealing narrative in beautiful prose is different from the technical skill of getting the spelling and punctuation right. The same is true with maths. It isn’t mere calculation.
What, then, is mathematics? Auerbach says it is three things: a science, a language and an art. Actually, part of the issue is that we are stuck in the first box. The incredible application of maths in the sciences and engineering has meant that it is possible, though undesirable, to teach it only with this application in mind. A focus merely on technical skills misses the joy and excitement that can come from finding patterns and understanding them, from seeing the true beauty of mathematics. That beauty lies in wonderfully elegant thinking that allows us to understand the infinite, explore the great symmetries of art and nature, and delight in the perfection of an abstract world of ideas.
As a language, what sets maths apart is the universality of its truths — you can become fluent wherever you are from. As Auerbach memorably puts it, you cannot do “German mathematics with a Japanese accent”. But it is the case for maths as an art that is closest to my heart. In researching my book Once Upon a Prime, about the beautiful connections between mathematics and literature, I have found many examples of mathematicians and poets praising each other’s disciplines. This is no surprise, as mathematics is, says Auerbach, “without exception, a poetic art”. If we can be shown the beauty of mathematics, we will forget to be afraid of the technical details supporting it.
28. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?
A. Math phobia lies in the fear of calculation.
B. People scared of math made Auerbach upset.
C. Tackling math anxiety is challenging but rewarding.
D. Auerbach’s book serves as a cure-all for math phobia.
29. How does the author develop Paragraph 2?
A. By giving a definition. B. By making a comparison.
C. By illustrating an opinion. D. By presenting a phenomenon.
30. Which of the following might Felix Auerbach agree with?
A. Math is a useful tool to explore the unknown world.
B. Math teaching only needs to center on its application.
C. The charm of math can help reduce the math anxiety.
D. Focus on technical skills makes people more anxious.
31. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To analyze math phobia’s causes. B. To explore math phobia’s solution.
C. To illustrate the essence of math phobia. D. To clarify the complexity of math phobia.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要探讨了数学恐怖症的成因及解决方法,特别是通过费利克斯·奥尔巴赫的观点来说明数学不仅仅是计算,它还有科学、语言和艺术的层面,从而帮助人们减少对数学的恐惧。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Maths, he said, has so much to contribute to society that addressing this fear is a challenge of the highest importance. (他说,数学对社会有很多贡献,解决这种恐惧是一个非常重要的挑战)”可推知,解决数学恐惧症具有挑战性但也具有回报性。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“We understand this about writing literature. The art of creating an appealing narrative in beautiful prose is different from the technical skill of getting the spelling and punctuation right. The same is true with maths. It isn’t mere calculation. (我们理解文学写作的这一点。用优美的散文创作吸引人的叙事的艺术不同于拼写和标点正确的技术技巧。数学也是如此。这不仅仅是计算)” 可知,作者先阐述了在文学写作中,创造精彩叙述的艺术与正确拼写和标点的技术技能不同,然后指出数学也是如此,不只是计算,通过这种比较的方式展开段落内容,说明人们对数学的恐惧源于对数学本质的误解。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“If we can be shown the beauty of mathematics, we will forget to be afraid of the technical details supporting it. (如果我们能看到数学的美丽,我们将不再害怕支撑它的技术细节)”可推知,展示数学的魅力可以帮助减少数学恐惧。故选C。
【31题详解】

This year’s Nobel Prize in chemistry honored a real-world example of how AI is helping humans today with astonishing discoveries in protein structure that have far-reaching applications. This is a development worth savoring.
Proteins are biology’s lead actors. As the Nobel committee pointed out, proteins “control and drive all the chemical reactions that together are the basis of life.” In the human body, they are necessary for the structure, function and regulation of tissues and organs. At the end of the 1950s, University of Cambridge researchers John Kendrew and Max Perutz successfully used a method called X-ray crystallography to produce the first 3D models of proteins. In the following half-century, the search for documenting protein structures remained laborious.
This year’s Nobel Prize in chemistry went to three scientists who revolutionized the field. David Baker of the University of Washington built entirely new kinds of proteins. Demis Hassabis and John Jumper of DeepMind, a Britain-based firm that is part of Alphabet, Google’s parent company, developed an AI and machine learning model that can predict the structure of proteins, decoding (解码) the amino acids (氨基酸) that make up each. The model, AlphaFold, can do in minutes what once took years to overcome.
AlphaFold takes advantage of neural networks that can locate patterns in enormous amounts of data. The system was trained on the vast information in the databases of all known protein structures and amino acid sequences. AlphaFold has predicted more than 200 million protein structures, or nearly all cataloged proteins known to science. To design new drugs and vaccines, scientists need to know how a protein looks or behaves. The AlphaFold result is just a prediction — a visual representation of a protein’s expected structure — but such predictions can accelerate biomedical research.
Anyone who has used ChatGPT knows that AI is not always correct. But AI will only get better over time. Already, the AlphaFold effort is expanding to create accurate visualizations of how proteins interact with other biomedical structures. For now, AlphaFold shows that AI can supercharge existing knowledge to benefit mankind. And there will be more to come.
32. What does the underlined word “laborious” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Aimless. B. Productive.
C. Energy-consuming. D. Thought-provoking.
33 What can we learn about AlphaFold?
A. It makes use of anything but the prior information.
B. Its prediction can contribute to biomedical research.
C. It is collective efforts of three scientists of DeepMind.
D. Its prediction shows protein structures multi-dimensionally.
34. What is the author’s attitude towards the AI in biology?
A. Cautious. B. Doubtful. C. Dismissive. D. Approving.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. AI: a Booster of Protein Research.
B. Protein: the Builder of Human Life.
C. AlphaFold: the Decoder of Protein Structure.
D. Nobel Prize: a Recorder of Protein Development.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲是今年诺贝尔化学奖授予了在蛋白质结构领域利用人工智能技术取得重大突破的三位科学家,以及这一突破对生物医学研究和人类社会的深远影响。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“At the end of the 1950s, University of Cambridge researchers John Kendrew and Max Perutz successfully used a method called X-ray crystallography to produce the first 3D models of proteins.(在20世纪50年代末,剑桥大学的研究人员John Kendrew和Max Perutz成功地使用了一种叫做X射线晶体学的方法,制作了第一个蛋白质的3D模型。)”和第三段“The model, AlphaFold, can do in minutes what once took years to overcome.(这个名为AlphaFold的模型可以在几分钟内完成过去需要数年才能完成的任务。)”可知,划线词所在句子表示“在接下来的半个世纪里,寻找蛋白质结构的记录仍然是艰苦的”,划线词的意思是“耗时费力的”,和energy-consuming意思相近。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“To design new drugs and vaccines, scientists need to know how a protein looks or behaves. The AlphaFold result is just a prediction—a visual representation of a protein’s expected structure— but such predictions can accelerate biomedical research.(为了设计新的药物和疫苗,科学家们需要知道蛋白质的外观和行为。AlphaFold的结果只是一种预测——一种蛋白质预期结构的视觉表现——但这种预测可以加速生物医学研究。)”可知,AlphaFold的预测有助于生物医学的研究。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But AI will only get better over time. Already, the AlphaFold effort is expanding to create accurate visualizations of how proteins interact with other biomedical structures. For now, AlphaFold shows that AI can supercharge existing knowledge to benefit mankind. And there will be more to come.(但随着时间的推移,人工智能只会变得越来越好。AlphaFold的工作已经扩展到创建蛋白质如何与其他生物医学结构相互作用的精确可视化。目前,AlphaFold表明人工智能可以增强现有知识,造福人类。未来还会有更多。)”可知,作者认为AlphaFold在扩展应用,AI可以促进现有知识为人类造福,并且会越来越好,所以作者对生物学中的AI是持赞成态度的。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“This year’s Nobel Prize in chemistry honored a real-world example of how AI is helping humans today with astonishing discoveries in protein structure that have far-reaching applications.(今年的诺贝尔化学奖授予了一个现实世界的例子,证明人工智能在蛋白质结构方面的惊人发现正在帮助人类,这些发现具有深远的应用价值。)”可知,本文主要讲的是今年诺贝尔化学奖授予了在蛋白质结构领域利用人工智能技术取得重大突破的三位科学家,以及这一突破对生物医学研究和人类社会的深远影响,因此最好的题目是A选项“AI: a Booster of Protein Research.(人工智能:蛋白质研究的助推器。)”。故选A。

(你可能会觉得重复做同一件事很无聊。)”说明了重复做同一件事会无聊,因此承上启下,符合语境,故选F。
【40题详解】

57. a 58. as
59. To preserve
60. where 61. and
62. indicating
63. have been recorded
64. isolated
65. China’s
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了大熊猫国家公园的地理位置、覆盖范围、建立过程、保护措施以及近年来野生大熊猫数量的稳步增长。
【56题详解】
考查名词。句意:总面积超过2.1万平方公里,森林覆盖率为72.07%,是全国72%以上野生大熊猫的家园。根据空前的forest可知,空处应是coverage构成短语forest coverage意为“森林覆盖率”符合语境。故填coverage。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意:作为中国保护工作的一个重要里程碑,该公园于2017年作为试点项目的一部分成立,并于2021年正式被任命为首批五个国家公园之一。milestone意为“里程碑”为可数名词,句中用的单数,前需用不定冠词修饰,major为辅音音素开头,用a修饰。故填a。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意:作为中国保护工作的一个重要里程碑,该公园于2017年作为试点项目的一部分成立,并于2021年正式被任命为首批五个国家公园之一。此处是固定搭配:be established as意为“被确立为”。故填as。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了保护野生大熊猫的生存,公园被划分为核心保护区,严禁人类活动,和一般控制区,限制活动。本句已有谓语动词is divided into,所以preserve用非谓语形式,根据句意,此处表目的,用不定式作目的状语,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填To preserve。
【60题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:为了保护野生大熊猫的生存,公园被划分为核心保护区,严禁人类活动,和一般控制区,限制活动。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是core protection areas,在从句中作地点状语,用where引导。故填where。
【61题详解】
考查连词。句意:为了保护野生大熊猫的生存,公园被划分为核心保护区,严禁人类活动,和一般控制区,限制活动。根据句意,“general control areas”和前文的“core protection areas”并列,作宾语,所以用and连接。故填and。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:近年来,公园内不同区域红外摄像机经常捕捉到野生大熊猫的身影,这表明它们的数量在稳步增长。本句已有谓语动词have captured,所以indicate用非谓语形式,逻辑主语为前句提到的事,两者是主动关系,用现在分词形式。故填indicating。
【63题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:例如,在四川公园的绵竹地区,自2019年以来,每年都有野生大熊猫的记录,这突显了保护工作的有效性以及由此带来的物种数量增长。record作本句谓语,和主语wild pandas之间是被动关系,用被动语态,根据时间状语since 2019可知,用现在完成时,主语为复数。故填have been recorded。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意:过去,该公园连接了许多孤立的自然保护区和13个大熊猫个体种群,这意味着隔离屏障已经被拆除,大熊猫可以拜访他们的朋友。空后是名词,所以空处应填形容词作定语,isolate的形容词形式是isolated意为“孤立的”。故填isolated,
【65题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意:该公园象征着大熊猫充满希望的未来,并展示了为子孙后代保护中国自然遗产的承诺。空后是名词,根据句意,此处表述的是所属关系,所以应该用名词所有格作定语。故填China’s。

As a child growing up in China, I was always fascinated by Kunqu, a traditional Chinese opera originated in the Ming Dynasty, also listed as the world’s intangible cultural heritage. I would often watch the traditional performances with awe, enchanted by the grace and elegance of the performers on stage.
Though I loved Kunqu, I never thought I could learn it, believing it was something only the most talented and experienced could master. However, one day, my friends invited me to attend a grand Kunqu performance in Suzhou, China, which really made me feel an urge to take on the challenge and learn it.
However, my journey learning Kunqu was not easy. I had to learn the basics of the ancient art form, from the complex techniques used to create the unique vocal style to the complex hand gestures that added a sense of elegance and grace to the movements. It was not just a matter of physical training; I needed to understand the rich history and cultural significance that Kunqu represented.
My first few lessons were rough and I found myself struggling to keep up with the pace of the class. I was disappointed that I couldn’t match the other classmates’ skill level, and I found myself feeling discouraged. However, with countless efforts and dedication, I gradually saw improvements. My voice became stronger and more expressive, and my gestures flowed more naturally. I was fascinated by the subtle differences of the style, and began to develop a deeper appreciation for the beauty of Kunqu.
As I spent more time immersed in the world of Kunqu, I began to appreciate the depth of knowledge that went into each performance. Everything from the beautiful makeup and costumes to the props (道具) and music was carefully chosen to convey a particular mood or theme. I studied the classical texts that formed the basis of the Kunqu opera, from the Song of the Pipa Player to The Peony Pavilion, working hard to understand the distinction of language and meaning within each work.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

However, as my reputation grew, I desperately desired to share it with more people.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Soon, I began to perform in small shows with my fellow classmates. We would gather in a local community center or theater, dressing up in our brightly colored costumes and applying our makeup with care. I loved the feeling of stepping onto the stage in front of an audience. Every time we performed, I felt like my whole world sort of melt away and I was completely immersing myself in such an amazing opera. My voice was delicate and smooth, my movements and gestures elegant and fluent. Finally, my wonderful performances earned myself a reputation as a rising star in the Kunqu community. What a great privilege to show that I was part of a centuries-old tradition that had entertained viewers for generations!
However, as my reputation grew, I desperately desired to share it with more people. I started to look for opportunities to perform in a more public setting, volunteering at local festivals and cultural events. I spoke to audiences about the history of Kunqu and what it meant to me personally, hoping to inspire others to explore the art form for themselves. As I continued to spread the world about Kunqu, I found that my efforts were paying off. More and more people were becoming interested in this traditional Chinese art form, and I began receiving invitations to perform around the world. I traveled to cities in Europe, Asia, and North America, sharing the beauty of Kunqu with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

Singer Katherine Goforth is using her voice to deliver joy and shine a light on the talents of people like herself who are “transgender artists”. Her popularity in music has earned the 33-year-old the True Voice Award hosted by the Washington National Opera (WNO). It was created to support and uplift opera singers who may share some special traits just like Katherine Goforth, who is a tenor (男高音).
Growing up surrounded by music, Katherine Goforth owes her success to her father. Goforth’s father is a musician and a former high school band teacher, who enjoys high popularity in students as well as their parents. “Music became a tool for me to fit in, to get to know people,” she told Boston Public Radio. As a graduate of the respectful Juilliard School in New York, Goforth has also attended many other top performing arts programs, including the Franz Schubert Institute in Austria, and performed all over the world.
The WNO launched the True Voice Award to promote inclusiveness in opera, which traditionally defines a singer’s gender by the sound of their voice rather than their identity. Goforth is a tenor, which is typically a male vocal category, but she performs female roles in operas. She is currently based in Portland, Oregon, and performs as a soloist in the Pacific Northwest region.
Goforth recently performed at a recital (音乐独奏会) held in her honor at the Kennedy Center in Washington. DC home to the WNO. In an interview with the site Broadway World, she said of the award, “We have to imagine the futures we want to live in, and the art we make can be one way of doing that.” Just as the saying goes, we can’t judge a book by its cover. It is those brave and creative people who can offer us a glimpse into a diverse society.
24. What can be known about Goforth according to Paragraph 1?
A. Goforth wins various awards in the world. B. Goforth is one of the best singers worldwide.
C. Goforth is a unique artist in the singing field. D. Goforth’s talent can undoubtedly uplift people.
25. Why does the author mention Goforth’s father?
A. To promote Goforth’s popularity. B. To introduce her father to readers.
C. To praise her father for his achievements. D. To explain one reason for Goforth’s success.
26. Which of the following can best describe Goforth?
A. Remarkable and creative. B. Kind and persistent.
C. Optimistic and demanding. D. Unbeatable and generous.
27. What can be learned from Goforth’ s words in the last paragraph?
A. Art is used to improve our imagination. B. Art helps us get rid of what we don’t like.
C. Art can make us live whatever life we want. D. Art serves as a good way of shaping our life.
C
Maths phobia is older than you might think. A hundred years ago, German physicist Felix Auerbach, disappointed at the phenomenon and hoping to find ways to address it, wrote a little book called The Fear of Mathematics and How to Overcome It. Maths, he said, has so much to contribute to society that addressing this fear is a challenge of the highest importance.
Why do we fear mathematics? At heart, says Auerbach, it comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding of what maths is. The fear of messing up a calculation may be real, but the fact that there are many excellent mathematicians who are terrible at arithmetic proves that numeracy and mathematics aren’t the same thing. We understand this about writing literature. The art of creating an appealing narrative in beautiful prose is different from the technical skill of getting the spelling and punctuation right. The same is true with maths. It isn’t mere calculation.
What, then, is mathematics? Auerbach says it is three things: a science, a language and an art. Actually, part of the issue is that we are stuck in the first box. The incredible application of maths in the sciences and engineering has meant that it is possible, though undesirable, to teach it only with this application in mind. A focus merely on technical skills misses the joy and excitement that can come from finding patterns and understanding them, from seeing the true beauty of mathematics. That beauty lies in wonderfully elegant thinking that allows us to understand the infinite, explore the great symmetries of art and nature, and delight in the perfection of an abstract world of ideas.
As a language, what sets maths apart is the universality of its truths — you can become fluent wherever you are from. As Auerbach memorably puts it, you cannot do “German mathematics with a Japanese accent”. But it is the case for maths as an art that is closest to my heart. In researching my book Once Upon a Prime, about the beautiful connections between mathematics and literature, I have found many examples of mathematicians and poets praising each other’s disciplines. This is no surprise, as mathematics is, says Auerbach, “without exception, a poetic art”. If we can be shown the beauty of mathematics, we will forget to be afraid of the technical details supporting it.
28. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?
A. Math phobia lies in the fear of calculation.
B. People scared of math made Auerbach upset.
C. Tackling math anxiety is challenging but rewarding.
D. Auerbach’s book serves as a cure-all for math phobia.
29. How does the author develop Paragraph 2?
A. By giving a definition. B. By making a comparison.
C. By illustrating an opinion. D. By presenting a phenomenon.
30. Which of the following might Felix Auerbach agree with?
A. Math is a useful tool to explore the unknown world.
B. Math teaching only needs to center on its application.
C. The charm of math can help reduce the math anxiety.
D. Focus on technical skills makes people more anxious.
31. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To analyze math phobia’s causes. B. To explore math phobia’s solution.
C. To illustrate the essence of math phobia. D. To clarify the complexity of math phobia.
D
This year’s Nobel Prize in chemistry honored a real-world example of how AI is helping humans today with astonishing discoveries in protein structure that have far-reaching applications. This is a development worth savoring.
Proteins are biology’s lead actors. As the Nobel committee pointed out, proteins “control and drive all the chemical reactions that together are the basis of life.” In the human body, they are necessary for the structure, function and regulation of tissues and organs. At the end of the 1950s, University of Cambridge researchers John Kendrew and Max Perutz successfully used a method called X-ray crystallography to produce the first 3D models of proteins. In the following half-century, the search for documenting protein structures remained laborious.
This year’s Nobel Prize in chemistry went to three scientists who revolutionized the field. David Baker of the University of Washington built entirely new kinds of proteins. Demis Hassabis and John Jumper of DeepMind, a Britain-based firm that is part of Alphabet, Google’s parent company, developed an AI and machine learning model that can predict the structure of proteins, decoding (解码) the amino acids (氨基酸) that make up each. The model, AlphaFold, can do in minutes what once took years to overcome.
AlphaFold takes advantage of neural networks that can locate patterns in enormous amounts of data. The system was trained on the vast information in the databases of all known protein structures and amino acid sequences. AlphaFold has predicted more than 200 million protein structures, or nearly all cataloged proteins known to science. To design new drugs and vaccines, scientists need to know how a protein looks or behaves. The AlphaFold result is just a prediction — a visual representation of a protein’s expected structure — but such predictions can accelerate biomedical research.
Anyone who has used ChatGPT knows that AI is not always correct. But AI will only get better over time. Already, the AlphaFold effort is expanding to create accurate visualizations of how proteins interact with other biomedical structures. For now, AlphaFold shows that AI can supercharge existing knowledge to benefit mankind. And there will be more to come.
32. What does the underlined word “laborious” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Aimless. B. Productive.
C. Energy-consuming. D. Thought-provoking.
33. What can we learn about AlphaFold?
A. It makes use of anything but the prior information.
B. Its prediction can contribute to biomedical research.
C. It is collective efforts of three scientists of DeepMind.
D. Its prediction shows protein structures multi-dimensionally.
34. What is the author’s attitude towards the AI in biology?
A. Cautious. B. Doubtful. C. Dismissive. D. Approving.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. AI: a Booster of Protein Research.
B. Protein: the Builder of Human Life.
C. AlphaFold: the Decoder of Protein Structure.
D. Nobel Prize: a Recorder of Protein Development.

As a child growing up in China, I was always fascinated by Kunqu, a traditional Chinese opera originated in the Ming Dynasty, also listed as the world’s intangible cultural heritage. I would often watch the traditional performances with awe, enchanted by the grace and elegance of the performers on stage.
Though I loved Kunqu, I never thought I could learn it, believing it was something only the most talented and experienced could master. However, one day, my friends invited me to attend a grand Kunqu performance in Suzhou, China, which really made me feel an urge to take on the challenge and learn it.
However, my journey learning Kunqu was not easy. I had to learn the basics of the ancient art form, from the complex techniques used to create the unique vocal style to the complex hand gestures that added a sense of elegance and grace to the movements. It was not just a matter of physical training; I needed to understand the rich history and cultural significance that Kunqu represented.
My first few lessons were rough and I found myself struggling to keep up with the pace of the class. I was disappointed that I couldn’t match the other classmates’ skill level, and I found myself feeling discouraged. However, with countless efforts and dedication, I gradually saw improvements. My voice became stronger and more expressive, and my gestures flowed more naturally. I was fascinated by the subtle differences of the style, and began to develop a deeper appreciation for the beauty of Kunqu.
As I spent more time immersed in the world of Kunqu, I began to appreciate the depth of knowledge that went into each performance. Everything from the beautiful makeup and costumes to the props (道具) and music was carefully chosen to convey a particular mood or theme. I studied the classical texts that formed the basis of the Kunqu opera, from the Song of the Pipa Player to The Peony Pavilion, working hard to understand the distinction of language and meaning within each work.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Soon, I began to perform in small shows with my fellow classmates.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
However, as my reputation grew, I desperately desired to share it with more people.
