Snowboarding genius Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China’s first Olympic gold in the men’s snowboard big air final at the Beijing Winter Olympics. By cleanly stomping back-to-back 1800 tricks, the teenager has landed the biggest prize so far in his young career. The notable achievement realized his childhood dream to reach the peak of the sport, which he began to learn at the age of 4.
Now with two shinning medals hung around his neck, the 17-year-old described his superb Olympic debut (首次亮相) as an unbelievable experience that has made all his sacrifices worthwhile. “This feels so surreal that I’ve finally accomplished what I’ve dreamed of since I was little,” said Su.
Over the past four years, Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the swiftest rises to prominence (杰出) the sport has ever seen. When the Shougang Big Air venue hosted its first international event, Su was an unknown qualifier, who didn’t even make the final runs. Just over two years later, Su is the name on everyone’s lips at the venue’s Olympic debut, drawing the whole nation’s attention to the sport he loves.
“The biggest motivation for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. “In snowboarding, I feel like I can show my own style and creativity. Every time I ride my board, it’s always a joyful moment. I hope through my experience, I can inspire more young people to get interested in the sport.”
Su, a former child actor who featured in action movies, said the Olympic gold will encourage him to seek for more breakthroughs, even beyond his athletic career. “I enjoy snowboarding just as much as I enjoy acting,” said Su, who turns 18 on Friday. “I think I still have a lot of possibilities to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting. But now I just want to enjoy the moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift.”
24. What does the underlined word “landed” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Reached. B. Gained. C. Created. D. Dreamed.
25. What was Su Yiming’s childhood dream?
A. To win a gold medal in Olympics. B. To become a professional athlete.
C. To reach the top of the sport. D. To demonstrate his own style and creativity.
26. What contributes most to Su Yiming’s success?
A. His talent. B. His coach’s help.
C. His hard work. D. His passion.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Su?
A. Talented and thoughtful. B. Hard-working and devoted.
C. Creative and kind-hearted. D. Generous and productive.
C
An artificial intelligence can decode (解码) words and sentences from brain activity with surprising accuracy. Using only a few seconds of brain activity data, the AI guesses what a person has heard. It lists the correct answer in its top 10 possibilities, researchers found in a primary study.
Developed by the parent company of Facebook, Meta, the AI could eventually be used to help thousands of people around the world who are unable to communicate through speech, typing or gestures.
Most existing technologies to help such patients communicate require risky brain surgeries to put in electrodes (电极). This new approach “could provide a possible path to help patients with communication problems avoiding the use of surgeries,” says neuroscientist Jean-Rémi King, a Meta AI researcher. King and his colleagues trained a computational tool, also known as a language model, to detect words and sentences on 56,000 hours of speech recordings from 53 languages. The team applied an AI with this language model to databases from four institutions that included brain activity from 169 volunteers. In these databases, participants listened to various stories and sentences, while the people’s brains were scanned by magnetoencephalography (MEG) (脑磁图).
Then with the help of a computational method that helps account for physical differences among actual brains, the team tried to decode what participants had heard using just three seconds of brain activity data from each person. The team instructed the AI to match up the speech sounds from the story recordings with patterns of brain activity that the AI computed as corresponding to what people were hearing. It then made predictions about what the person might have been hearing during that short time, given more than 1,000 possibilities. Using MEG, the correct answer was in the AI’s top 10 guesses, the researchers found.
“The new study is the decoding of speech recognition, not production,” King agrees. “Though speech production is the final goal, for now, we're quite a long way away.”
28. Whom might the AI benefit?
A. People unable to read. B. People who are unconscious.
C. People who can't move around. D. People unable to communicate normally.
29. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A. The purpose of the AI. B. The significance of the AI.
C. The advantage of the AI. D. The working principle of the AI.
30. What does the AI require to make its prediction?
A. Speech production. B. Top ten guesses.
C. Patterns of brain activity. D. Disabled volunteers.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. A New Way to Decode Speech B. The Employment of MEG Technology
C. An Advance in Artificial Intelligence D. A Solution to Communication Problems
D
Everyone knows this: Slowly turn up the heat on a frog in a pot of water, and the frog won’t hop out. Unaware of the slight increase in heat, it will stay put until — well, until it dies. When it comes to the effect of rising global temperatures on amphibians (两栖动物), the frog-boiling fable is more than just a metaphor (隐喻).
Climate change is becoming one of the biggest threats to frogs and other amphibians, according to a major study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Between 2004 and 2022, rising temperatures became the primary reason why more than 100 amphibian species were slipping toward extinction.
The spread of disease among frogs and the destruction of their habitats have long been recognized as reasons why many amphibians are decreasing. But this new study establishes climate change as a major risk for amphibians around the world, too. The soft-skinned animals lack the fur and feathers to help adjust their temperature in this hotter and more drought-stricken world.
Less attention is paid to frogs and other amphibians compared to more well-known groups like birds. But losing amphibians would be disastrous because they often act as a key link in the food web of ecosystems, wolfing insects down and, in turn, being eaten by larger predators (捕食者).“Without those amphibians to fill that role, we will see the breakdown of this food web,” said Neam, who works for an Austin-based environmental group.
Luckily, habitat protection and other conservation measures have been taken to help recover more than five dozen amphibians from Costa Rica to Malaysia. “It’s not all bad news,” said Jennifer Luedtke, an amphibian group leader of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. “But we really must build on this improvement and significantly increase investment in amphibian conservation.”
32. How is the topic introduced?
A. By listing facts. B. By explaining ideas.
C. By sharing a story. D. By raising a question.
33. What is the main reason for the decrease of amphibians according to the new study?
A. The spread of disease. B. The loss of habitats.
C. The rise of temperature. D. The lack of feathers.
34. What will happen if the number of amphibians decreases?
A. The food chain will be destroyed. B. Wolves will depend more on insects.
C. Predators will be the key role of the web. D. The ecosystem will become more diverse.
35. How does Luedtke feel about the future of amphibians?
A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Uncertain. D. Curious.
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。
A majority of the people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. It is a gradual affair. We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. ___36___
Don’t be afraid to be confused.
We get it: It’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. ____37____ Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.
Research, research, research.
____38____ Researching the author — and the time and place they were writing about — can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise.
Just pick the book up.
This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. ____39____ Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Dracula’s Castle.
Remember: there is no right answer.
There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process. ____40____ Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t quite perfect, it is still valuable!
A. Allow the book to grow with you.
B. So how does one approach a classic?
C. It has some form of historical influence.
D. Before you turn to page one, do some digging.
E. Never beat yourself up for not knowing something.
F. Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.
G. Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically.

I remember the first really ____46____ customer we had at Covent Garden. She was ____47____ with absolutely everything, nothing was right and I was rather surprised that she became a “regular”. After a while, she ____48____ for the way she behaved at the beginning. She had ____49____ with her husband the week before, living in a flat by herself, and since she’d found it too much to cope with (应对), she’d taken it out on other people.
That taught me a valuable lesson and I pass it on to the people who ______50______ in the market. Don’t take it ______51______. If a customer is rude or difficult, just think “Maybe she’s had a row with her husband. Maybe her child’s not ______52______.” Always water it down and don’t let your ego (自尊心) get ______53______.

Snowboarding genius Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China’s first Olympic gold in the men’s snowboard big air final at the Beijing Winter Olympics. By cleanly stomping back-to-back 1800 tricks, the teenager has landed the biggest prize so far in his young career. The notable achievement realized his childhood dream to reach the peak of the sport, which he began to learn at the age of 4.
Now with two shinning medals hung around his neck, the 17-year-old described his superb Olympic debut (首次亮相) as an unbelievable experience that has made all his sacrifices worthwhile. “This feels so surreal that I’ve finally accomplished what I’ve dreamed of since I was little,” said Su.
Over the past four years, Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the swiftest rises to prominence (杰出) the sport has ever seen. When the Shougang Big Air venue hosted its first international event, Su was an unknown qualifier, who didn’t even make the final runs. Just over two years later, Su is the name on everyone’s lips at the venue’s Olympic debut, drawing the whole nation’s attention to the sport he loves.
“The biggest motivation for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. “In snowboarding, I feel like I can show my own style and creativity. Every time I ride my board, it’s always a joyful moment. I hope through my experience, I can inspire more young people to get interested in the sport.”
Su, a former child actor who featured in action movies, said the Olympic gold will encourage him to seek for more breakthroughs, even beyond his athletic career. “I enjoy snowboarding just as much as I enjoy acting,” said Su, who turns 18 on Friday. “I think I still have a lot of possibilities to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting. But now I just want to enjoy the moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift.”
24. What does the underlined word “landed” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Reached. B. Gained. C. Created. D. Dreamed.
25. What was Su Yiming’s childhood dream?

An artificial intelligence can decode (解码) words and sentences from brain activity with surprising accuracy. Using only a few seconds of brain activity data, the AI guesses what a person has heard. It lists the correct answer in its top 10 possibilities, researchers found in a primary study.
Developed by the parent company of Facebook, Meta, the AI could eventually be used to help thousands of people around the world who are unable to communicate through speech, typing or gestures.
Most existing technologies to help such patients communicate require risky brain surgeries to put in electrodes (电极). This new approach “could provide a possible path to help patients with communication problems, avoiding the use of surgeries,” says neuroscientist Jean-Rémi King, a Meta AI researcher. King and his colleagues trained a computational tool, also known as a language model, to detect words and sentences on 56,000 hours of speech recordings from 53 languages. The team applied an AI with this language model to databases from four institutions that included brain activity from 169 volunteers. In these databases, participants listened to various stories and sentences, while the people’s brains were scanned by magnetoencephalography (MEG) (脑磁图).
Then with the help of a computational method that helps account for physical differences among actual brains, the team tried to decode what participants had heard using just three seconds of brain activity data from each person. The team instructed the AI to match up the speech sounds from the story recordings with patterns of brain activity that the AI computed as corresponding to what people were hearing. It then made predictions about what the person might have been hearing during that short time, given more than 1,000 possibilities. Using MEG, the correct answer was in the AI’s top 10 guesses, the researchers found.
“The new study is the decoding of speech recognition, not production,” King agrees. “Though speech production is the final goal, for now, we're quite a long way away.”
28. Whom might the AI benefit?
A. People unable to read. B. People who are unconscious.
C. People who can't move around. D. People unable to communicate normally.
29. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A. The purpose of the AI. B. The significance of the AI.
C. The advantage of the AI. D. The working principle of the AI.
30. What does the AI require to make its prediction?
A. Speech production. B. Top ten guesses.
C. Patterns of brain activity. D. Disabled volunteers.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. A New Way to Decode Speech B. The Employment of MEG Technology
C. An Advance in Artificial Intelligence D. A Solution to Communication Problems
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. C 31. A
【解析】

Everyone knows this: Slowly turn up the heat on a frog in a pot of water, and the frog won’t hop out. Unaware of the slight increase in heat, it will stay put until — well, until it dies. When it comes to the effect of rising global temperatures on amphibians (两栖动物), the frog-boiling fable is more than just a metaphor (隐喻).
Climate change is becoming one of the biggest threats to frogs and other amphibians, according to a major study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Between 2004 and 2022, rising temperatures became the primary reason why more than 100 amphibian species were slipping toward extinction.
The spread of disease among frogs and the destruction of their habitats have long been recognized as reasons why many amphibians are decreasing. But this new study establishes climate change as a major risk for amphibians around the world, too. The soft-skinned animals lack the fur and feathers to help adjust their temperature in this hotter and more drought-stricken world.
Less attention is paid to frogs and other amphibians compared to more well-known groups like birds. But losing amphibians would be disastrous because they often act as a key link in the food web of ecosystems, wolfing insects down and, in turn, being eaten by larger predators (捕食者).“Without those amphibians to fill that role, we will see the breakdown of this food web,” said Neam, who works for an Austin-based environmental group.
Luckily, habitat protection and other conservation measures have been taken to help recover more than five dozen amphibians from Costa Rica to Malaysia. “It’s not all bad news,” said Jennifer Luedtke, an amphibian group leader of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. “But we really must build on this improvement and significantly increase investment in amphibian conservation.”
32. How is the topic introduced?
A. By listing facts. B. By explaining ideas.
C. By sharing a story. D. By raising a question.
33. What is the main reason for the decrease of amphibians according to the new study?
A. The spread of disease. B. The loss of habitats.
C. The rise of temperature. D. The lack of feathers.
34. What will happen if the number of amphibians decreases?
A. The food chain will be destroyed. B. Wolves will depend more on insects.
C. Predators will be the key role of the web. D. The ecosystem will become more diverse.
35. How does Luedtke feel about the future of amphibians?
A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Uncertain. D. Curious.
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. A 35. B
【解析】

But losing amphibians would be disastrous because they often act as a key link in the food web of ecosystems, wolfing insects down and, in turn, being eaten by larger predators (捕食者).“Without those amphibians to fill that role, we will see the breakdown of this food web,” said Neam, who works for an Austin-based environmental group.(与鸟类等更知名的群体相比,青蛙和其他两栖动物受到的关注较少。但是失去两栖动物将是灾难性的,因为它们通常是生态系统食物网的关键环节,它们吞噬昆虫,反过来又被更大的捕食者吃掉。“没有这些两栖动物来填补这个角色,我们将看到这个食物网的崩溃,”在奥斯汀一家环境组织工作的尼姆说)”可知,如果两栖动物的数量减少,食物链将被破坏。故选A。

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。
A majority of the people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. It is a gradual affair. We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. ___36___
Don’t be afraid to be confused.
We get it: It’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. ____37____ Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.
Research, research, research.
____38____ Researching the author — and the time and place they were writing about — can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise.
Just pick the book up.
This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. ____39____ Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Dracula’s Castle.
Remember: there is no right answer.
There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process. ____40____ Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t quite perfect, it is still valuable!
A. Allow the book to grow with you.
B. So how does one approach a classic?
C. It has some form of historical influence.
D. Before you turn to page one, do some digging.
E. Never beat yourself up for not knowing something.
F. Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.
G. Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically.
【答案】36. B 37. E 38. D 39. F 40. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了阅读经典文学的方法与心态,包括接受困惑、研究背景、勇敢开始以及享受解读的过程。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. It is a gradual affair. We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us.(对经典作品的喜爱显然不是一见钟情的。这是一个循序渐进的过程。我们一开始只是泛泛之交,最终却成了亲密无间、能分享只有彼此才懂的玩笑的朋友)”可知,人们与经典作品的关系是逐渐建立的,下文则列出了一些接近经典作品的方法,空处需承上启下,B选项“So how does one approach a classic?(那么一个人该如何接近一部经典呢?)”在此处起到了很好的过渡作用,它基于上文所描述的经典阅读的现状,引出下文针对如何阅读经典的具体阐述,符合上下文的逻辑关系,起到了承上启下的作用,故选B。
【37题详解】
根据下文“Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.(相反,你应该为自己的尝试感到自豪,并为你将学到的所有新事物感到兴奋)”可知,空处与下文形成转折关系。由此可知,E选项“Never beat yourself up for not knowing something.(永远不要因为不知道而责怪自己)”能够与下文形成语义的转折,符合语境。故选E。
【38题详解】
根据本段小标题“Research, research, research.(研究,研究,再研究)”可知,本段主要建议要做研究。由此可知,D选项“Before you turn to page one, do some digging.(在你翻到第一页之前,做一些调查)”中“do some digging”与小标题中的“Research”意思相近,都表达了在阅读经典之前进行研究的意思,符合本段主旨,符合语境。故选D。
【39题详解】
根据上文“While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so.(虽然仅仅拿起一本书并不难,但我们都知道,说服自己去这么做可能会有多难)”及下文“Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula. (深吸一口气,然后纵身跃上梅尔维尔笔下 “裴廓德号” 的甲板,或者小心翼翼地穿过德古拉城堡的大门)”可知,有时候开始阅读一本经典作品需要一些动力及读书的具体做法。F选项“Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.(提醒自己这是一个新的学习机会)”提供了一个很好的动力,即把阅读经典作品看作是一个学习的机会,从而激励自己去开始阅读,同时也与下文鼓励进入书中情境进行阅读相呼应,符合上下文逻辑。故选F。
【40题详解】
根据上文“There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process.(阅读经典文本没有完美的方法。不存在权威性的解读,也没有唯一确切的答案。作为读者,你的目标是去发现哪些方面和见解对你来说是有意义的。享受这个过程)”可知,上文强调阅读经典没有唯一正确的方式,鼓励读者发现对自己有意义的方面并享受这个过程,G选项“Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically. (考虑一下让你困惑的地方,有目的地阅读,并进行批判性思考)”是实现上文所提目标的具体做法,且这些做法符合没有绝对正确答案的理念,能够衔接上文,符合语境。故选G。
